Chapter 394: Chapter 29 Jiang Li
Medical Skill Sect, also known as Medicine Sect, where the leaders practice the grand path of medicine, save the world by healing, and impart medical knowledge. All physicians under the heavens are governed by it.
The grandteacher Shennong, emerged from Shennong Mountain, tasted hundreds of herbs, tested thousands of medicines, wrote the compendium of all medicines, thus comprehending the fragments of the heavens, founded the sect and took disciples from all over.
For a long time, Medicine Sect had its headquarters at Shennong Mountain. Later, the seventh generation Qingtian Emperor of the Tianli Dynasty sincerely invited them and built a medicine hall for them, widely accepting disciples which eventually led to their relocation.
Now, the headquarters is located in Tianli City, less than a hundred miles from the Citizen Registration Office.
Elder Jiang Li is one of the four elders of the Medicine Sect, in charge of the pill forging branch of the medical path, the most famous medicine fanatic. On the entire mainland, any physician who practices pill forging is essentially his disciple or grand-disciple.
Because of this, not to mention the Medicine Sect, even throughout the entire world, he holds an extremely high status, so much so that even Emperor Fusheng, inviting him as a guest, couldn’t persuade him to come if he decided not to – no one dares to utter any nonsense about it.
...
Because of his madness in pill forging, he is also jokingly known as Elder Yao Feng.
At this moment, Elder Yao Feng, his hair dirty and disheveled, stands in front of a cauldron, looking at a small bottle of pills.
In front of him stand three disciples, all white-haired, around the age of sixty. Should anyone else from the Medicine Sect be here, they would certainly recognize them as elders, holding very high positions.
“Please, teacher, name it!”
Elder Yao Yun, with a constipated expression, took a long time before finally bowing and making a fist salute.
Everyone knows the teacher inherently sucks at naming, yet he likes naming medicines... Anytime a new medicine is created, if they don’t come to him, he gets angry.
These past days, the three brothers have just tested a good medicine, and although they already have an idea, they still brought it over.
Facing the obedient acts of his three disciples, Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction, took out a pill, brought it close to his nose, and after a satisfying sniff, nodded again.
“This pill contains thirteen medicinal materials. Among them, Pei Xu Grass which weakens one’s body, depletes energy and blood. Hongying Grass causes one’s blood to stagnate; Luo Huan Grass causes one’s spirit to weaken, making them tired and wanting to sleep... These herbs, combined with the balancing properties of Cold Spirit Flower, after taking it, a cultivator below Life Sea 2-dan will immediately turn ashen-faced, looking like a corpse... Perfect for playing dead to deceive the heavenly law! Therefore, let’s name this pill[Face Green Pill]!”
Elder Yao Yun’s forehead veins involuntarily twitched a few times, and he hastily spoke up: “Teacher, since it can make one appear dead, why not name it Turtle Breath Pill or Soul Hiding Pill, which sound better...?”
“A bad name is easier to keep alive, the worse it sounds, the easier it is to remember. Alright, it’s called Face Green Pill! Don’t talk about other names anymore!”
Jiang Li waved his hand: “Is there anything else? If not, don’t disturb me continuing to forge pills. I’m currently testing the fourth method of processing Earth Nether Grass, Earth Nether Blue! Once I’ve tested all seven colors and see which effects are best, I’ll promote that one...”
“Just this much?”
Jiang Li frowned.
He had provided the Earth Nether Yellow some time ago, and under normal circumstances, there should have been dozens or even hundreds of testers, each writing a piece, amounting to several dozen papers. Yet, why were there only a few brief lines?
“Reporting back to the elder, the potency of Earth Nether Yellow is too fierce. Many cultivators after consuming it couldn’t sustain physically and fell unconscious, therefore, hardly any left their experience...”
Bian Zhongwen was embarrassed.
He dared not say everyone was poisoned to death; otherwise, his worth would be null, potentially leading to his elimination.
Although the one before him cared not for the life or death of testers, with the massive gate teeming with strong individuals, a slight slip in words could lead others to tread over him.
“Oh, is that so...”
Jiang Li didn’t doubt him further, glanced at the paper in his hand, and immediately, his eyes filled with anger as he flung his arm.
“Is this the feedback you got from people testing the drug? Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!”
With that, he threw the paper, which struck Bian Zhongwen’s face.
Bian Zhongwen went pale and dared not move at all.
Elder Yao Yun and two juniors exchanged glances, curiously grabbed the paper, and also involuntarily twitched their eyelids after a glance.
It read two comments:
“This Earth Nether Yellow has a somewhat bitter taste, not very pleasant to drink. If a stem of Ice Licorice is added to improve the taste, perhaps it would be better...”
“This medicine is not refined smoothly enough, and its color is not quite appealing. If Ice Crystal Grass is added to make the surface of the pill more crystalline, perhaps it would look prettier!”
“...”
Not far away, two other elders likewise saw the contents.
They are often accustomed to reading testing feedback focusing mainly on personal experiences but seeing comments on the bitterness and unattractive appearance of the medicine was certainly a first...
