Chapter 2014 Taking blood and looking at bones (4)
Nangong Jin wondered: "Why haven't I heard you say that before?"
Ji Yuan shook his head, with a look of disgust on his face.
"Medicine blood sounds nice, but in fact it is not a righteous thing. Its appearance is often inseparable from the cultivation of medicine people."
"In the book I read, it was mentioned that there used to be alchemists who specially raised young children. They cut off all grains from an early age and only used medicinal materials and potions for food, supplemented by various cultivation methods.
Young children are usually prepared and raised as 'human medicine', ranging from a few years to decades. The children who are finally cultivated are called medicine people."
Nangong Jin was stunned for a moment.
Tantai Yao's eyes widened in disbelief: "Isn't it too cruel to train children as 'human medicine'?"
Ji Yuan sneered: "That's not all that's more cruel..."
He glanced at Tantai Yao, but remained silent and did not continue.
Yun Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing what he had to say.
She also knows how to cultivate medicine people.
The alchemist has spent several years and decades cultivating herbalists, and of course it is not just for fun.
Medicine people have many uses. Some are specially bred to test medicines, and some are bred to be used as medicinal materials.
After the cultivation is completed, every piece of meat and every drop of blood on their bodies is rich in medicinal properties, and they are immune to all poisons.
At the same time, various strong medicinal properties merged in their bodies. Under the nourishment of fresh flesh and blood, all impurities were removed, and the medicinal properties became mild, penetrating into every drop of flesh and blood.
The "medicine man" cultivated in this way is not so much a human being as a special artificially cultivated "medicine".
As long as you take out their flesh and blood and add other suitable medicinal materials, you can easily make high-quality elixirs.
Therefore, in Jiuzhou Continent, the cultivation method of medicine people is itself a crooked alchemy technique.
There is even a more cruel statement——
The flesh and blood of the medicine man is pure, and it is itself a ‘human medicine’. It can be eaten raw and extend the life span of mortals!
When Ji Yuan saw this description in a book when he was a child, he was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.
Tantai Yao didn't know the inside story and asked curiously: "Cousin Ji Yuan, haven't you finished speaking yet? What else is there?"
Ji Yuan didn't want to scare her, so he shook his head and said nothing.
Tantai Yao was greatly puzzled and wanted to continue questioning.
Yun Luo calmly changed the topic and said calmly: "Actually, medicinal blood is not as complicated as you think. From the perspective of an alchemist, any blood that contains medicinal properties can be called medicinal blood." p>
At the beginning, Yaoxue referred to the blood of the medicine man and was an exclusive title.
But later, as the refining methods of medicinal people were suppressed and gradually lost, the meaning of medicinal blood also changed.
"Mrs. Tantai was poisoned by a strange poison. The poison and medicine stayed in her body for a long time, which also changed her physique to some extent. In addition, due to the special nature of the poison, the blood taken out has its own characteristics.
Different.”
Yun Luo explained.
Nangong Jin suddenly realized: "So, the blood taken from the Madam's eyebrows and heart is considered medicinal blood because it contains medicinal properties. And the blood taken from the spine and soles of the feet is considered poisonous blood because it contains poison?"
Yun Luo thought for a while: "You can also say that."
"Then what is this? Poison blood or medicinal blood?" Nangong Jin pointed to a drop of good blood in the small bowl, very puzzled.
