(I posted a few chapters of 1,900 words a few days ago. I always thought that there would be 900 words free of charge in this way. Yesterday, I reminded me that the current charging method has changed. It is no longer a charge of less than a thousand words. For example, 1,900 is charged for 1,900 words, but a chapter with less than a thousand words in total is not charged. Then I want to send two chapters of 900 words free chapters in the comments. I am worried that I won’t see the comments on the QQ Reading client, so... I’d better ask the editor how to do it.)

The small bag is very slender. I think when it is in the body of the Great Zhou military master, the upper half should be in the esophagus, and the opening may be in the throat. There seems to be some mechanism hidden above it - the Tang family in Wenshui can even make a yellow paper umbrella. I believe there is a way to make anything fall into the bag and completely isolate it from the outside world.

The shopkeeper did not do it immediately, but started washing his hands very seriously and even a little complicated. Until he made sure his hands were clean and he wiped them clean with four towels without any wetness, he carefully untied the bag and took out the thing from it.

It was a pill, about the size of a pea, with a bright red color, as if it were blood. I don’t know if it was infected by the moisture in the corpse, and the surface was slightly corroded. Seeing this scene, a look of heartache appeared in the shopkeeper’s eyes, and Master Tang Shiqi’s face also became gloomy.

"It should be fine." The shopkeeper said in a trembling voice, and then quickly put the bright red pill into the basin that had been prepared long ago.

The basin is wheat bran, of course it is not ordinary wheat bran. It has been screened and dehumidified many times in advance, and it is ivory-white, very dry, without any moisture.

The shopkeeper picked up the wheat bran and covered it on the pill, and then rubbed it gently with his hands. The movements of his fingers were particularly gentle, as if he was stroking his lover. The pill rolled gently in the wheat bran and became completely clean as time passed. The bright red color became clearer, even giving people a feeling of being fascinating.

The Tang family of Wenshui was not fully aware of this elixir. They only knew that it would melt when it encountered water, and it was extremely difficult to preserve it. At this time, the shopkeeper finally confirmed that there was no problem with this cleaning method, and his eyes were gentle when he looked at the elixir. Of course, he still couldn't get as far as the eyes of Master Tang Shiqi.

He smiled and said, "Seventeenth Master is extremely wise, this method is indeed useful."

Master Tang Shiqi ignored the person's flattery and took out a snow-white piece of silk from his sleeve, put a new hand towel in his hand, took the pill, and looked at it carefully for a long time until his eyes became a little hot. He suddenly noticed the change in his mood, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Is this pill really that magical?"

The shopkeeper did not notice the subtle changes in his emotions and said, "It is true, otherwise why would you bother Master Shiqi, you personally go through this incident?"

He was pleasing to the master, but when he said this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the pill in the other party's palm, and then licked his lips.

This unconscious action shows that he is a little nervous now and also reveals his inner greed and desire.

Mr. Tang Shiqi noticed this and raised his lips slightly and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, thinking to himself that this was the legendary cinnabar pill?

"This is not a pill, nor wealth, but power."

Mr. Tang Shiqi said: "Being able to determine life and death is the greatest power in the world."

The shopkeeper praised: "Seventeenth Master said this extraordinary thing."

Master Tang Shiqi looked at him and said with a blank expression: "If some people want to covet such power but do not have the strength to match it, they are seeking death."

The shopkeeper's body was slightly stiff, and he lowered his head, and he never dared to look at the pill again.

...

...

Some people entered this secret room one after another, surrounding the black stone table. Among these people were the medicine shops in the original Tianji Pavilion, the two most famous doctors in Fengyang County, the priest who was hired by the Tang family with a large sum of money, and a doctor who asked for the pulse of the old master Tang in Wenshui.

Regardless of their status, their faces are the same at this time.

It was a look that seemed calm but was actually very nervous, which made it look a bit stiff.

They were all looking at the red pill on the black table. They had been looking at it for more than one glance, and had been looking at it for a long time.

The reason they were nervous was that they knew the origin of this pill and naturally developed the desire to seize it, but they knew that they could never do this.

One of the doctors from Fengyang County even turned his head away because he was afraid of being unable to resist this temptation.

Looking, smelling, asking, and touching, these are what doctors need to do when treating medical treatment. Although what they are seeing now is not a disease, but a medicine, they cannot escape these methods.

I have been looking at the medicine for a long time, so I naturally smell it.

The old doctor from Wenshui glanced at Mr. Tang Shiqi.

This old doctor specially asked for the pulse of Mr. Tang. If it weren't for the matter that mattered today, even Mr. Tang Shiqi would not be able to invite him from Wenshui City.

Master Tang Shiqi would naturally be more polite to him and said, "Mr. Yang, please give me some advice."

The old doctor Wenshui, known as Mr. Yang, was not polite when he heard this. He lowered his head directly, leaned over the red pill, and took a deep breath.

The next moment, Mr. Yang's face turned red and his eyes were blurred, like drinking mellow wine, like entering a room of orchids, as if he was intoxicated and didn't know where it was.

The worshiper of the Tianji Pavilion Medicine Store frowned slightly and coughed twice.

Mr. Yang woke up and said, "The main ingredient is indeed cinnabar, as well as fairy grass, cinnamon, angelica, wolfberry, clove, rock sugar..."

Just by smelling it, you can tell so many medicinal materials. This person’s medical attainments are indeed amazing.

When Mr. Tang Shiqi heard these medicinal herbs, he frowned and thought to himself, was he going to stew meat? Why is there rock candy?

He didn't know that these very common medicinal materials would be added to some flavors in folk stewed meat. It is precisely because the medicinal properties are neutral and peaceful, and it is perfect for making auxiliary materials. Most elixirs in the world will have their existence. As for rock sugar, it is like fried rice, which has the effect of catalytic medicinal power, and... can neutralize the bitter taste.

The Tianji Pavilion Medicine Store worshipped the two famous doctors in Fengyang who were in the medical field, so they naturally didn't think it was different. They also surrounded them and smelled them. They also reported the names of several medicinal herbs, including Huai Yam, Cloves, and Cistanche.

Looking at the dry ink marks on the paper, several doctors pondered for a while, discussed with each other, and said to Mr. Tang Shiqi: "You still have to do it."

From the beginning to now, they looked at it first and then smelled it, but no one dared to reach out to touch it because they all knew how precious the pill was.

Now it is the common meaning of everyone. The person who is responsible for speaking is Mr. Yang, because he is from the Tang family in Wenshui, and speaking is more convenient.

When the cinnabar pill first appeared, the rules set by the man were not complete enough. The Great Zhou army and Yinghua Palace once joined forces to intercept several pills in private, trying to analyze and infer the ingredients of this pill. However, they wasted a whole three pills and failed to fully understand all the medicinal materials. The several doctors who appeared in the secret room today are all very amazing people, but how can they do it by relying on looking and smelling alone?

Mr. Tang Shiqi had long been mentally prepared for this, but he was inevitably a little disappointed, because it meant that this cinnabar pill would be destroyed soon.
