Chapter 97 Blazing Grass

Chapter 97 Blazing Grass

He thought to himself, there are so many medicinal materials here, why doesn't Zhang Xiaotian stop to take a look?

Zhang Xiaotian smiled calmly and said: "This is where we buy medicinal materials. Many of the medicinal materials sold in these small shops are not authentic. Although the price is cheap, there are no good products. It is better to go to a big shop. What's more, there are many kinds of medicinal materials in big shops.

I’ve bought everything.”

Mu Xiaowu nodded and followed Zhang Xiaotian.

After walking a few hundred meters forward, Zhang Xiaotian walked into a large Chinese medicine store called Jishitang.

"Welcome to our store. I don't know if you are buying medicine or seeing a doctor." A clerk in a robe said.

Such large pharmacies usually have doctors on staff who can prescribe medicine and treat patients.

The clerk saw Zhang Xiaotian and Mu Xiaowu's extraordinary demeanor, so he became even more respectful.

He hurriedly got a glass of water for Zhang Xiaotian and Mu Xiaowu, and said with a smile: "What kind of help do you two need?"

"Follow this prescription and get us some medicine." Zhang Xiaotian took out the prescription directly.

The clerk looked at it and immediately frowned: "Sir, I don't recognize many of the medicinal ingredients in your prescription?"

When Zhang Xiaotian heard this, he also frowned: "I don't know, is there such a thing?"

However, when he thought about it immediately, he suddenly understood.

The medical sage Zhang Zhongjing was very long ago, and some of the medicinal materials have been passed down to the present and have changed.

Therefore, it is natural that we do not recognize the names of many medicinal materials.

"It seems that we can't rely entirely on the inheritance of the medical sage. There are many pharmacological theories that we need to understand by ourselves." Zhang Xiaotian thought in his mind.

Zhang Xiaotian smiled and said: "This is an ancient prescription. Many names are derived from the names of ancient medicinal materials. They are somewhat different from the names of modern medicinal materials. I can just prepare the medicine myself."

Although the name is different, the characteristics of the medicine will not change.

Zhang Xiaotian is familiar with the characteristics of these medicinal materials, so there is no problem in finding these medicinal materials.

"Sir, do you also know the art of Chinese medicine?" The clerk said with a surprised look on his face, and his eyes changed when he looked at Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian nodded and said with a smile: "I just know a little bit."

Under the guidance of the clerk, Zhang Xiaotian and Mu Xiaowu came to the medicinal material warehouse, where there was a fragrance of medicinal materials everywhere.

These medicinal materials are placed on a large shelf. There are some squares on the shelf where the medicinal materials are stored.

"Number 108, Jersey grass, eight dollars!"

"No. 405, Rehmannia glutinosa, five cents!"

"No. 702, No. 703, Angelica sinensis and Fu Xie Cao, six coins each!"



Zhang Xiaotian stood there, identifying which medicinal materials each contained by just relying on the fragrance of the medicinal materials, and even called out the medicinal materials he was looking for.

Many of these names are different from the names on the numbers, which is the difference between ancient drug names and modern ones.

But the properties of the medicinal materials are the same.

"Sir, you are really awesome!"

When the clerk saw Zhang Xiaotian's ability, he immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Sir, I have packed all the medicinal materials you need for you." The clerk handed the medicinal materials to Zhang Xiaotian and said.

Zhang Xiaotian nodded and asked Mu Xiaowu to pay the money.

Mu Xiaowu came over and saw Zhang Xiaotian's sad face, so he asked: "Brother Xiaotian, we have bought all the medicinal materials, why are you still acting like this?"

"There is another medicinal material that I need to buy for your grandfather, and that is Blaze Grass. This medicine is a main medicine and has an immediate effect on treating cold syndrome. However, I searched all over Jishi Hall and could not find this medicinal material.

"Zhang Xiaotian said a little disappointed.

When Mu Xiaowu heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Then let's go to other places quickly and take a look. Maybe there are other places."

This was related to his grandfather's illness, so he was naturally concerned about it.

Zhang Xiaotian continued: "If you don't find Blaze Grass, it doesn't matter. You can use other medicines to replace it, but the medicinal properties will be greatly reduced. We'd better look elsewhere. It's not a last resort and we don't need to use other medicines to replace it."

Mu Xiaowu nodded.

"Sir, I advise you not to waste your efforts. Since we don't have it in Jishitang, there won't be it in other places. Our Jishitang is the most complete medicinal store in the imperial capital." The clerk said rather proudly.

Mu Xiaowu frowned, looked at Zhang Xiaotian and said, "Brother Xiaotian, what should we do?"

Zhang Xiaotian said with a helpless smile: "Shall we go out and take a look?"

In fact, he has already guessed that this flame grass was a scarce item in ancient times and is probably extinct now.

If this main ingredient cannot be found and can only be replaced with other medicinal materials, the medicinal properties will be greatly reduced. This is obviously not what Zhang Xiaotian wants to see.

"Then let's go and ask elsewhere. I don't believe we can't find this medicinal material." Mu Xiaowu clenched his fists and said.

Regarding his grandfather's illness, of course he was very anxious and nervous.

Zhang Xiaotian nodded. He had the same idea as Mu Xiaowu. He didn't believe he couldn't find the Flame Grass.

However, they searched all over the imperial capital and still couldn't find the flame grass.

"Let's go, let's go to Jishitang to find other medicines to replace." Zhang Xiaotian said helplessly.

Looking for other medicinal materials will greatly reduce the overall efficacy, which directly means that Mu Lao's disease will be cured much slower, and the time will be more than half a year.

When I returned to Jishitang, I was still greeted by the same clerk.

"Two gentlemen, I told you that the medicinal materials that we don't have in Jishitang can't be found in other places, but you don't believe it," the clerk said.

Zhang Xiaotian looked at the clerk, his eyes moved slightly, his eyes became sharp, and he grabbed the clerk's hand.

"Sir, what do you want to do?" The clerk was startled and said with a look of fear on his face.

Mu Xiaowu thought that he had offended Zhang Xiaotian by just eating the clerk's words, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Brother Xiaotian, it's just a trivial matter, it's not worth getting angry at!"

Zhang Xiaotian shook his head.

He was not that stingy, and the clerk didn't say anything just now. The reason why he grabbed the clerk's hand was not because of this.

Zhang Xiaotian let go of the panicked clerk and asked, "What did you grab with that hand just now?"

After hearing this, the clerk fell into silence and immediately said: "I just received a customer and said he wanted to see our shopkeeper, so I took him upstairs, but I haven't touched anything else?"

After Zhang Xiaotian heard this, he frowned deeply and looked extremely solemn.

"Brother Xiaotian, what happened?" Mu Xiaowu asked doubtfully.

Zhang Xiaotian looked at the clerk and said: "There is the smell of flame grass on your hands. If I guessed correctly, it should have been brought by the customer you received."

When Mu Xiaowu heard this, he immediately became excited and said, "That's great!"

After running for a day, he finally got a clue about the Blaze Grass. How unhappy he was.

"Where is the customer you are receiving?" Zhang Xiaotian asked hurriedly.
