Ding Zhi and Chen Yu completed a benefit transfer in front of Huang An.
"Hahaha!"
Huang An on the side laughed loudly.
He glanced at Ding Zhi thoughtfully, already having a guess about his purpose.
Ding Zhi and Chen Yu were conveying benefits in front of him.
He had heard this a lot in his hometown, but this was the first time he had seen it.
Ding Zhi, an old boy, is expanding his network of contacts. Maybe he should get a layer of insurance for himself in order to earn a little more money.
The aristocratic families in Feng'an City have been half-dead since the martial arts leader of the Bronze Skin Realm disappeared.
Their strength has greatly weakened in a very short period of time.
However, their wealth has not decreased accordingly.
If there is a mismatch between strength and wealth, it will definitely lead to disaster.
It would not be appropriate for this money-making business to be left in the hands of paper tigers like them who have lost their claws.
Not long after Ding Zhicai took office, he had just established himself in Feng'an City.
He now feels that this profitable cake can no longer be given to these aristocratic families.
He needs to find a capable owner for the cake.
The owner of the cake must have the strength to keep the cake, and also have the ability to provide help to him, Ding Zhi, and become a reliable connection for him, Ding Zhi.
This cake was given to others by the previous head of the Martial Arts Department, and all the benefits were taken away by the previous head of the Martial Arts Department.
Now, Ding Zhi has become the new manager of the Martial Arts Department, but he has only tasted a little benefit.
Now, he may be thinking of taking the opportunity to take back this authority.
So cunning!
So smart!
He is indeed an experienced official.
Huang An smiled and watched the two people being polite.
After spending so many days with Chen Yu, Huang An also partially understood Chen Yu's thoughts and future plans.
He thought about accumulating some more merit, then retiring from the army and becoming a local official or a small landowner.
As for where he would go, he hadn't decided yet.
But obviously, Chen Yu is more urgent now, and he may want to come to Feng'an City.
After all, the current conditions in Feng'an City can be said to be unique.
Especially for a lone warrior like him who came from the grassroots.
There are only two bronze-skin realm warriors in the entire county, one is the city lord Zhao Yan, and the other is Ding Zhi, the manager of the Martial Arts Department.
And these two people are all acquaintances of Chen Yu and have friendship with him.
Then it would be the best choice for him to come directly to Feng'an City for development after he retires from the army.
There are acquaintances everywhere, and it is very convenient to do things and transfer benefits.
In the future, when his life span is exhausted, he can rely on the incense and love he left behind to make life easier for his descendants.
Ding Zhi and Chen Yu were chatting and laughing, "Brother Chen, I'll be waiting for you to come back, and I will definitely keep it for you!"
"Then I'll thank Brother Ding first!"
Chen Yu smiled and bowed his hands, very grateful.
After the two of them talked, Ding Zhi changed his gaze and looked at Huang An again.
"Master Huang, please come in with me."
After that, he made an invitation to Huang An.
"This list of medicinal materials is of great importance and cannot be taken out of this room."
He said something very strange.
Huang An's eyes flashed, he glanced at Chen Yu calmly, and then strode towards the house.
Chen Yu on one side moved his feet and was about to catch up, but suddenly stopped and stood there with a sudden smile on his face.
Then he continued to stand where he was, guarding outside the door, waiting for Huang An and Ding Zhi to come out again.
Inside the house, Huang An was sitting on a chair, waiting for Ding Zhi to come out of the hut on one side.
Not long after, he came out with a booklet in his hand and a smile.
"Master Huang, please look!"
Ding Zhi showed great respect to Huang An.
Although his cultivation level is higher than Huang An's, his background is far different.
Huang An wants to control him, although it is more troublesome, but it is possible.
More importantly, based on what he learned about Huang An's vengeful character, he knew that Huang An really wanted to attack him with just one sentence.
Since you can't offend, it's better to curry favor.
"Thank you!"
While Huang An thanked him, he took the booklet.
He thought it was really a piece of paper, but he didn't expect it to be a booklet as big as a palm and as thick as a finger.
"I hope I can get it all together!"
Even though he knew that there was a high probability that all the raw materials for Guiyuan Tang would not be found in Feng'an City, Huang An still prayed in his heart and had hope.
With Ding Zhi's encouragement, Huang An opened the booklet directly.
"Falling flower: a great tonic for cold nature, it grows in places with constant shade..."
Fallen flower?
Huang An frowned slightly. According to the Guiyuan Decoction prescription he obtained from the Insightful Eye at the Wanjie Garbage Dump, there was no such medicinal ingredient in it.
What is recorded here is not only the name of the medicinal materials, but also the properties of the medicinal materials, the methods of cultivation, the methods and techniques of finding them.
Huang An turned the page to the back and was surprised to find that the detailed steps for preparing the medicinal material of Lochnifera were recorded on the back.
Huang An focused on the second page.
"Condensing dew grass: It likes water, especially mountain spring water. It automatically condenses the water vapor between heaven and earth..."
Dew grass!
Huang An's eyes lit up.
Right.
The prescription of Guiyuan Decoction contains such medicinal materials.
The records here were very detailed. Huang An refused to miss any bit of information and read it carefully.
He found that 90% of the information in this booklet about Gelatin Grass was correct, and some of it was wrong.
When he first discovered it, he thought it was a deliberate typo.
But soon, he reacted.
It's not that the people in the Budosi Department made mistakes intentionally, it's that they knew it was wrong in the first place.
Herbal medicine is an extremely complex subject, especially when it comes to medicinal materials related to martial arts practice. The properties of medicinal herbs are even more complicated.
There are really too many factors that affect the properties of medicine.
Similarly, medicinal materials planted together, matured at the same time, and dug out at the same time may have certain differences in their medicinal properties.
Why can't two identical medicinal plants grow in the same environment here?
Although martial arts in this world have been passed down for a long time, some details are far inferior to those in my hometown.
However, these errors are rare and should be trivial.
Moreover, he knows the real and correct answer, so he can completely ignore the detailed medicinal properties and planting and cultivation methods recorded here.
Huang Jing watched quietly without saying anything about the problem he saw.
Seeing that Huang An was looking at it seriously, Ding Zhi didn't stop him. Instead, he smiled and stroked his beard.
"Master Huang, there are a total of thirty-six kinds of herbs recorded here, as well as their cultivation and processing methods. There are also detailed records."
Ding Zhi is explaining to Huang An.
"I guess that there should be twenty kinds in it, which are the raw materials of Guiyuan Tang. As for which twenty kinds they are, I can't guess."
After saying that, a look of regret appeared on his face.
After staying in the Martial Arts Department for many years, he also wanted to know the recipe for Guiyuan Decoction.
Ding Zhi's reminder made Huang An pause for a moment.
However, he did not speak. After responding with "Oh", he continued to check.
Ever since he started practicing martial arts, especially after his martial arts cultivation reached the Six Fu realm, Huang An noticed that his memory had been greatly enhanced.
After obtaining the "Picture of the Divine Fist", his memory greatly improved and he achieved a photographic memory.
It is a true photographic memory.
With just one glance, you can completely write down what you have seen.
"Which family in the city grows the most herbs?"
While Huang An was remembering, he still had the mind and energy to ask about topics he was interested in.
Ding Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "The Li family, they grow thirteen species."
Huang An nodded and continued reading.
Ding Zhi didn't feel that he was being neglected. Before Huang An could ask, he spoke about the situation of other families.
"In addition to the thirteen kinds of herbs grown by the Li family, the Yang family also grows ten kinds. They grow a relatively large number of them. Most of the types of medicinal herbs they plant overlap..."
Ding Zhi explained in great detail, rambled on, and took the trouble to talk.
Huang An focused most of his attention on the booklet, especially on checking the differences between the medicinal materials recorded in the booklet and the actual prescription of Guiyuan Decoction.
However, he was still distracted, listening to Ding Zhi's explanation.
About five minutes later, Huang An finished flipping through an entire booklet.
He had a deep understanding of the contents recorded in the booklet and knew them all by heart.
Ding Zhi is right. Thirty-six kinds of herbs are recorded in the booklet.
Most of them are the raw materials of Guiyuan Tang.
A total of twenty-seven kinds, not the twenty he had guessed.
There are thirty-two kinds of real Guiyuan decoction recipes.
Huang An actually knew that Ding Zhi didn't know the news.
What Ding Zhi knows is that some of the herbs grown by the major families in Feng'an City are Guiyuan Tang medicinal materials.
But he didn't know which ones they were, so he could only guess.
On the back of the booklet, Huang An found a line of small vertical characters, "Seal of the Ming Dynasty Martial Arts Division".
Obviously, this booklet should be a "working tool" for the Martial Arts Department managers in places like Dingzhi.
This booklet comes from Kyoto. Every Martial Arts Secretary will have such a booklet when he takes office.
"This booklet records thirty-six kinds of herbs, some of which can really be used in Guiyuan Decoction, and some of which should be used in other precious medicines. Some are completely useless, and some are very useful.
Big possibility!”
Huang An could easily guess the meaning behind the appearance of this booklet and the contents recorded in it.
True and false, false and true, so many herbs are mixed together, but some key main medicines are missing.
Then no one can derive a complete prescription for a treasure like Guiyuan Decoction from this booklet.
I don't know how many herbs are in the prescription.
There are several useless drugs mixed in the list, I don’t know.
I don't know how many medicines are missing.
There are really too many lacking conditions. It would be strange if the correct prescription could be derived from them.
Man cannot deduce it, only God can.
This method of keeping secrets is very clever and is a conspiracy.
However, conspiracy is still inferior to plug-ins.
The Eye of Insight revealed all the secrets of Guiyuan Tang in front of Huang An.
Huang An discovered the existence of twenty-seven corresponding herbal medicines from the booklet.
Among them, there are a series of necessary herbs such as gelatin grass, purple orchid grass, bone-washing flower, and white orchid fruit.
With a flash of his eyes, Huang An closed the booklet and handed it back.
He had memorized all the contents, not only the text description, but also the vivid illustrations, all recorded in his mind.
Within three hours, he could completely restore this booklet.
"Are these twenty-seven kinds of herbs grown in the city?"
Huang An asked.
This question is very important. Although he looked careless when he asked it, in fact, he was already very nervous.
