CHAPTER 884: CHAPTER 860: THE WONDERS OF WEST CITY

Jiang Xiaoxiao is currently wandering around the herbal market, she needs to continue looking for good herbs.

These days, she listened to the old lady telling her about the legends of the West City and the things passed down from the previous generation, and slowly she realized why this so-called Ancient Medical World only remains in the West City.

It hasn’t been promoted nationwide, and this place is kind of a no-man’s land, meaning no one oversees you.

It turns out that everyone in the West City is a descendant of the Ancient Medical World. Here, Western medicine is not recognized.

This means that although there are hospitals and clinics here, all treatments and rescues use ancient traditional Chinese medicine methods.

Elixirs, herbs, acupuncture and the like, things like surgery are completely untenable here. Whoever dares to do such things is considered rebellious and violates the will of the ancestors, and they will be driven out.

Of course, driving someone out doesn’t mean they are sent outside, allowing them to enjoy life elsewhere with the inheritance obtained from the Ancient Medical World.

That’s not so simple!

This driving out means being directly sent to the Kunlun Mountain, which gives people a particularly mysterious feeling.

It is said that the mountain range of Kunlun Mountain is nourished by special natural talents and local spirits, and the herbs growing around here are hundreds of times more effective than those produced in other places.

Completely different from herbs outside, it can be described as working smarter, not harder.

Most descendants of the Ancient Medical World have established their family herbal fields in the mountain range near Kunlun Mountain, and the herbs grown here are fundamental for refining elixirs.

Indeed, the inheritance elixirs of the Ancient Medical World are astonishing.

As long as well-made elixirs reach level ten, their effect is no worse than surgery in Western medicine.

For example, appendicitis.

Acute appendicitis is a nightmare for many where life is worse than death, and in Western medicine, it’s definitely about surgery to remove the inflamed part, then sewing it up and using medicine to recover.

But here in the Ancient Medical World, after taking an Anti-inflammatory Pill, the appendicitis would immediately cure without the need for surgery, but this level ten elixir is not something anyone can make.

And not everyone can obtain it, so it becomes a rare and precious thing, and local folks can’t get level ten elixirs.

But they can afford to eat level four or five ones.

If you want to recover just by eating one elixir, who would be willing to pay the price for surgery?

That’s also why Western medicine doesn’t thrive in this place.

Of course, level ten elixirs can make someone recover immediately, but for level four or five elixirs, you might need to take them for one or two months.

Ensure a full course to completely heal.

This is also why there are so many pharmacies in this place.

And almost every pharmacy is crowded, not because people here get sick for fun.

It’s because many come here for the fame, just to buy the elixirs here.

Who can guarantee not getting sick in this lifetime? Here, buying an elixir and taking some medicine can heal, who would still hope to go to the hospital for surgery?

Especially all those affluent and powerful people around the world cherish life even more.

Naturally, this place has become bustling and vibrant.

Some people asked why those wealthy and powerful families outside haven’t tried to get a foothold in the West City, or capture these people, using their talent to make medicine for them.

You know, selling these elixirs outside would be incredibly profitable.

You think no one has thought of this?

There are plenty of people with such cunning intentions, people who become greedy at the sight of gain, but unfortunately.

The locals of the West City Ancient Medical World absolutely won’t leave their homeland, even if they do leave.

Their talent will immediately drop a level, and no one knows why.

Here, the elixirs they can make, once outside this place, cannot be made again.

It seems like a bizarre curse.

And where can outside herbs compare to those of the West City? The herbs of the West City can only achieve optimal effects when refined here.

This is why everyone who buys elixirs has to come here in person.

Once these elixirs leave the West City, after half a month, they all lose effectiveness.

No matter what level elixir you’re making, even if it’s a level ten elixir, once you leave this place, within a ten-mile radius, if you haven’t consumed it within half a month, it basically becomes useless, no different from a pill.

And a pill with no effect.

After quite a few people tested it, they gave up.

Locally, they can’t possibly use force to take over this place.

Because the Medicine God Association in the West City has a very mysterious Disciplinary Department, this department is responsible for punishment, law, and behavior norms, and its personnel are also called law enforcement. These enforcers are very powerful.

So far, no one has had a favorable outcome with them.

No one knows what methods these people use, only that once they take action, it is beyond human understanding.

Ultimately, those who do wrong meet a mysterious disappearance, and most people believe their punishment is being thrown into the Kunlun Mountain.

Once in the mountain range of Kunlun Mountain, trying to get out is hopeless.

It’s virtually a social death.

Of course, the more Jiang Xiaoxiao understands the inside story, the more she believes that some medicines in the West City might awaken Song Moting. Her goal is not to uncover their secrets, but simply to find hope to wake Song Moting.

This increasingly makes her feel that she absolutely must enter the Medicine God Association.

The effect of peach juice combined with the medicines here unexpectedly showed extraordinary results.

These medicines seem to activate the effects of the peach juice.

Previously, refining a peach into an elixir, even eating all these pills had no side effects on the body, but now once combined with these medicines, Jiang Xiaoxiao discovered, the potency of the peach increased more than tenfold.

Causing her, after experimenting, to reduce the amount of peach juice in these medicines to the minimum.

To avoid causing too much shock.

Of course, others don’t know the result of this experiment, but she knows, because after she added peach juice, the elixir she refined.

For instance, a Youthful Appearance Pill turned into a Super-grade Youthful Appearance Pill, with effects lasting nearly ten years.

Meaning, achieving the greatest effect with the least cost.

Although she hasn’t conducted such experiments on other elixirs, she suspects that her peach juice will only enhance various effects.

Moreover, it makes the efficacy in the formula of this elixir more cohesive, essentially eliminating any impurities for pure essence.

This was beyond her expectation.

Probably this is how Super-grade elixirs are made.

Of course, the greater benefit to Jiang Xiaoxiao is that she became more confident, maybe she can really refine the so-called Rejuvenation Pill.

Song Moting might wake up soon!
