CHAPTER 1063: CHAPTER 1060: THE LAND OF EXTREME COLD
"Mr. Yun, did you say it’s Blue Snake Grass?" Lin Tian asked in surprise.
"Oh, Xiao Tian, you recognize it?" Mr. Yun exclaimed joyfully.
Lin Tian certainly recognized it, though he hadn’t seen it before; he had read about it in the "Shennong Emperor’s Medical Scripture," which recorded Blue Snake Grass.
Lin Tian recalled the content recorded in the scripture and said, "Blue Snake Grass grows in extremely cold regions, with a crystalline dark blue appearance and the ability to harmonize energy. However, Blue Snake Grass is extremely rare, comparable to Yin-Yang Life. Generally, few people use Blue Snake Grass, so not many know about this herb."
Mr. Yun’s face lit up with delight, and he quickly asked, "Xiao Tian, have you seen Blue Snake Grass? Where can we find it?"
"In theory, as long as the environment is extremely cold, it might grow, like in the polar regions of Earth. The polar regions are perpetually cold, ideal for Blue Snake Grass growth, and since these areas are sparsely populated with minimal environmental disturbance, it’s highly likely Blue Snake Grass could grow there," Lin Tian said thoughtfully.
"The polar regions?" Yun Haoyu was stunned and said, "With the danger in the South Pole and North Pole, how can we search for it?"
"Exactly, the environment in the polar regions is harsh, making survival difficult for humans, let alone searching for a small medicinal herb there," Mr. Yun also shook his head repeatedly.
Lin Tian shrugged and said, "I don’t know how to search for it; I haven’t seen Blue Snake Grass either."
"Xiao Tian, is there no other way? Like artificial cultivation," Mr. Yun asked, frowning.
Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, "With current technology, scientists can simulate any climate environment on Earth, but to incur such a cost to simulate polar climates for growing Blue Snake Grass, which is of little use to ordinary people, would anyone do such a foolish thing?"
"Ah, you’re right, if there’s no profit, who would spend a lot to cultivate something useless?" Mr. Yun sighed regretfully.
Seeing Mr. Yun’s somewhat forlorn expression, Lin Tian couldn’t help but curiously ask: "Mr. Yun, what does the Ning Family need Blue Snake Grass for?"
Mr. Yun shook his head and said, "I’m not quite sure, but the Ning Family seems to need it urgently; I think it’s for saving someone?"
Saving someone? Lin Tian felt a sudden spark in his mind, recalling the last time he fought with Ning Luoxi at the Xiao Family; her battle seemed to have some issues.
"Xiao Tian, it’s estimated that people from the Ning Family will visit you tomorrow; you’ll find out then," Mr. Yun’s words interrupted Lin Tian’s thoughts.
Lin Tian felt odd and asked, "Why would anyone from the Yun Family visit me? If it’s a business collaboration, they can directly seek Miss."
Mr. Yun laughed: "Your exceptional medical skills have gained fame far and wide. If the Yun Family needs Blue Snake Grass to save someone, who else would they seek but you? Haha, Xiao Tian, do you not yet know your influence now? Many people might have already dubbed you the Divine Doctor."
"What Divine Doctor, I’m just a physician who switched paths halfway, without even a license to practice medicine; how dare I call myself a Divine Doctor," Lin Tian said indifferently, feeling like he was just a barefoot doctor at most.
"Haha, pharmacists can also save lives, but who is qualified to issue a license to a pharmacist?" Mr. Yun said with a laugh.
Lin Tian found it quite ironic, realizing that nowadays, doing anything requires certification, yet many ancestral skills cannot be validated by a mere certificate.
Many who have inherited ancestral crafts, due to lacking so-called certification, can only practice secretly. What should have been dazzling and honorable is instead handled covertly; it’s a sorrowful situation for them.
The car quickly arrived at the Yun Family’s residence; upon returning to the villa, Lin Tian specifically diagnosed Mr. Yun, reassuringly confirming the complete recovery of his foot before heading back to Yunxiang Inn.
An Xiaoru was in the garden, tending to flowers; upon seeing Lin Tian enter, she quickly put down her tools, approached, and said: "Mr. Lin, you’ve returned? Have you had lunch?"
"Oh, I ate outside. Miss Xiao Ru, you’re collecting so many petals, is it for a petal bath?" Lin Tian asked curiously upon seeing the basket full of petals on the ground.
An Xiaoru’s face reddened, but she shook her head and said: "I’m preparing to use them for brewing wine; it’s a new variety of Baihua Wine. Since Mr. Lin seems to enjoy drinking, I asked the brewmaster to help brew it."
"A new variety? I’m indeed very much looking forward to it, but, unfortunately, I fear that my stay at the Yun Family will be brief," Lin Tian regretted.
An Xiaoru was startled and said with reluctance: "So soon?"
"There’s no helping it; being the brilliant doctor I am, I’ve cured Mr. Yun’s illness, so there’s no reason to remain at the Yun Family," Lin Tian said with feigned narcissism, trying to tease this somewhat reluctant young lady.
An Xiaoru didn’t laugh; instead, she said somewhat sadly: "Mr. Lin, are you really leaving?"
Seeing the girl’s expression, Lin Tian felt a pang of unease in his heart; could Miss Xiao Ru possibly be fond of me? If so, I must leave soon—lingering longer, she might fall deeper.
Lin Tian had to comfort her: "Miss Xiao Ru, brewing wine isn’t something done in a short time; by the time you finish, it could be a year or half a year later. I might come to the Yun Family again by then. Wouldn’t you forget about me next time?"
"Really? Will you come again?" An Xiaoru’s face lit up with a happy smile, then she shyly said: "Of course I remember; how could I forget Mr. Lin?"
Lin Tian rubbed his eyebrows; the girl spoke too directly. He pretended to be oblivious, nodded, and returned to his room, leaving the girl alone, lost in thought.
Returning to his room, Lin Tian changed into loose casual clothes and sat cross-legged on the bed. He wasn’t cultivating this time but replaying the contents of the "Shennong Emperor’s Medical Scripture."
At Ziwei Hall, Lin Tian had promised Miss to provide a new medicinal formula to help the Xiao Family completely defeat the Zhao Family.
Back then, Lin Tian wasn’t joking; he was determined to confront the Zhao Family, known for their ruthless tactics, even worse than the Shen and Qian Families. Today, even if he didn’t confront the Zhao Family, they would surely retaliate; knowing Lin Tian’s character, he wouldn’t passively endure, so he intended to strike first, driving the Zhao Family out of the medical market.
However, finding a suitable medicinal formula wasn’t easy. The scripture recorded mostly high-level recipes, and after going through it for most of the day, Lin Tian finally found a very basic formula.
Calling it basic, because it only has a simple healing effect, originally meant for novice pharmacists to practice with. That’s right; it’s a recipe for pharmacists to hone their skills. Lin Tian intended to use it against the Zhao Family, which was more than sufficient; after all, it’s a genuine elixir recipe.
The Xiao Family had long been researching elixir recipes; they didn’t need to actually produce the elixirs, knowing they couldn’t. They only needed to use the by-products of research, just like how they developed "Blood Angel."
Lin Tian stood up, typed the elixir recipe into his phone, and sent it via message to Miss.
