Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 91 Qing Ning, 36 Years and August
Although it was lunch time, Chu Mu had already forgotten to eat and sleep, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn and focused, as if he was completely immersed in the dozens of wooden boxes in front of him.

But 28 wooden boxes, from noon to dusk, Chu Mu could barely distinguish between them.

Several hours of extreme concentration should have been extremely exhausting, but Chu Mu's bright eyes also proved that at this moment, Chu Mu's mood was obviously not calm.

28 wooden boxes, 28 herbs.

The one with the highest age is a green spoon, which is about 70 years old.

Herbs with the lowest age are about ten years old.

What is priceless?
The 28 wooden boxes in front of him are worth [-] yuan!
You must know that the medicines used in medicine are all common medicinal materials, and basically have a one-year-old growth cycle.

Even the prescriptions he used to assist in the cultivation of Body Exercise are all common medicinal materials.

Before today, he searched through all the medicine cabinets in the entire pharmacy, but he could never find a single medicinal herb of the previous year.

According to the description in medical books, although most medicinal plants can continue to grow against the growth cycle, this growth is extremely harsh on the environment, climate and other related factors.

It can be said that every herbal plant of the previous year can be said to be the best of heaven and earth!

He once asked Mr. Li about his doubts about the aged medicinal materials, but in the end he only got the answer of "rare".

Right now, looking at the 28 wooden boxes in front of him, Chu Mu felt like he was in a dream.

"how?"

When Chu Mu was in a trance, Mr. Li made a faint sound.

Chu Mu was slightly startled, then got up, bowed and clasped his hands, this time, it was the first time that Chu Mu was sincerely respectful.

Before, whether it was an injury being treated by Mr. Li, or the knowledge of the beginning of Qi and blood practice, or the current medical study.

In Chu Mu's view, it was nothing more than a money transaction.

He pays, Mr. Li gives knowledge, and the exchange is equivalent, that's all.

But this time, these 28 herbs from the previous year undoubtedly completely exceeded the scope of equivalent exchange.

Even if he has only seen it a little bit, this medicinal material has nothing to do with the baby.

But just this insight... Even if he has ten thousand gold, where can he find it?
He doesn't have this channel at all!With his current status, he can't get in touch with him at all!

No matter what old man Li in front of him is thinking about this move, for him, it is an undoubted kindness!

Mr. Li picked up a wooden box, took the Qingning ginseng in the box, looked at it, and asked casually.

"What is the year of this Qingning ginseng?"

Chu Mu fixed his eyes a little, and said respectfully, "About 30 years."

Old Li frowned: "How many years?"

Chu Mu thought for a moment, then shook his head:
"Mu... is stupid, I don't know, I ask Mr. Li to teach me."

Mr. Li didn't answer, but changed his subject suddenly: "What is the growth cycle of this Qingning ginseng?"

Chu Mu replied without hesitation: "There are records in the Hundred Herbs Guide, Qingning ginseng sprouts in early spring, matures in three years, and withers in the twelfth lunar month."

"Brother Mu is good at reading medical books."

Mr. Li showed approval: "Brother Mu, you know that the medicines recorded in medical books are all based on the three-year cycle of Qingning ginseng."

Chu Mu was slightly stunned, he didn't understand what Mr. Li said.

Immediately, as if he had a flash of inspiration, Chu Mu's expression suddenly became solemn, and after organizing his words a little, Chu Mu couldn't wait to say:
"Mr. Li, what you mean is that if you want to use medicinal materials of this age, you must find out the specific year of the medicinal materials, so as to judge the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials!"

"Brother Mu is really talented and intelligent."

Mr. Li looked a little more solemn: "The so-called loss is a thousand miles away."

"Any herbal plant, once it surpasses its own growth cycle, is fighting for its life. Every year or even every month of growth is changing, and its medicinal properties will inevitably be very different."

"A green ginseng with a three-year normal growth cycle and a green ginseng with a three-year normal growth cycle can be said to be two different medicinal materials."

"A green ginseng plant that spanned a three-year cycle and a green ginseng plant that has grown for six years can also be said to be two different medicinal materials."

"Brother Mu is familiar with medical books, so he naturally knows that medicinal plants have extremely strict requirements on the environment and climate in which they grow."

"Some even have unpredictable changes due to different climate environments."

"Some appearances and shapes will not change, but the properties of the medicine will have completely different changes. It is not impossible for a tonic to become a poison. All kinds of changes cannot be judged by common sense."

"Therefore, the most important thing in practicing medicine is to know the medicine!"

"Knowing the specific year of the medicinal material, the specific properties of the medicinal material, the specificity, how detailed it can be, to a large extent, determines how far you can go on this road, Brother Mu!"

Chu oh was slightly stunned, this theory was not within the scope of his thinking, but at this moment, it was like a thunderbolt, so shocking that he couldn't even react.

Know people, know medicine...

His understanding is so shallow...

Chu Mu took a deep breath, kept these words firmly in his heart, and bowed: "Mu... be taught!"

Mr. Li ignored Chu Mu, his slightly cloudy eyes fixed on the Qingning ginseng in his hand.

Immediately, he took out a thin beard and put it in his mouth. After chewing for a while, Old Man Li slowly said: "This Qingning ginseng is 36 years and eight months old. In this world, it is considered a treasure..."

The age of the medicine is as detailed as a month, but Mr. Li is not at all complacent, and his expression, on the contrary, is unconcealably sad.

It was as if the chewing of this thin whisker brought back the old man's sad past.

Chu Mu was speechless, he couldn't imagine what a profound accumulation of experience it was to be able to specify the month.

After all, he has no access to a medicinal herb of a previous year, let alone more exposure to accumulate experience, and even accumulate such profound experience.

"Ok?"

While being surprised, Chu Mu frowned suddenly, and his gaze was instantly fixed on the green ginseng plant in Old Li's hand.

eager!

Unspeakable longing!

Chu Mu sensed himself.

He was sure that this was not an illusion.

Just now, after Mr. Li plucked off the thin beard of Qingning Ginseng, this longing feeling gushed out of his body inexplicably.

as if...

Chu Mu's pupils shrank suddenly. That night, that blood-colored pill...wasn't that the desire?
This green ginseng...

Chu Mu fiercely looked at the Qingning ginseng plant in Old Li's hand again.

36 years and eight months of drug age, so effective?

Then he held it in his hand just now, why didn't he perceive it like this.

Thin beard?

Chu Mu locked on the severed beard and seemed to have an answer.

Is it because the roots were broken and some kind of breath was exposed, which aroused his body's desire?
