C17 Intermediate Herbalist
Little Princess choked with sobs and nodded.
Eldest Imperial Princess raised her head, looked at Ye Tian and asked, "Who is this?"
Little Princess had long since seen Ye Tian walk in. She snorted in disdain, "Trash that fell from Wen Tianbi."
Eldest Imperial Princess was surprised for a moment before bowing slightly. She said, "Your Excellency Ye, I'm sick and I can't get up. Please forgive me for being rude."
Ye Tian was stunned and quickly waved his hands, "No worries, no worries. Eldest Imperial Princess is still sick. Please don't get up."
Princess Chu Yu disdainfully snorted once more.
Eldest Imperial Princess frowned and lowered her voice as she said seriously, "Yu, he is the one that Wen Tianbi and Royal Father have chosen. Don't be rude."
Chu Yu unwillingly snorted and said, "If he had even the slightest bit of martial power or mana, I would have accepted it. But he …" Saying that, Chu Yu raised her head and glared at Ye Tian.
Feeling embarrassed, Ye Tian lowered his head, not daring to meet Chu Yu's gaze.
Eldest Imperial Princess shook her head. "Yu, without power and mana, you don't have to be unable to rule the world, you don't have to be unable to control the imperial government. Didn't our ancestor also lack power and mana?"
Chu Yu glared at him. "How can he be compared to the Ancestor Emperor? Pah!"
Seeing Chu Yu's expression, Eldest Imperial Princess felt helpless.
At this time, a few people suddenly walked in from outside the door. The one in the lead was a middle-aged man with a wide beard. He looked at Soong Yuzhe and said, "Your Excellency Head, you're here."
The few people behind also greeted Soong Yuzhe one by one.
Soong Yuzhe introduced the person to Ye Tian, "This is Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical Bureau Chief Lu Shangduo. The few lords behind him are all imperial physicians."
Afterwards, Soong Yuzhe introduced the new vice president of Royal Labor Union, Your Excellency Ye.
The Luo Wen marquis and Wen Wanliang, the two imperial physicians, had seen Ye Tian before. When Ye Tian had just descended from Wen Tianbi, the two of them had already passed Ye Tian's pulse.
Lu Shangduo bowed towards Liu Tie, then turned his head and said to Soong Yuzhe, "The imperial physicians of the palace and I have examined the Medicine Pavilion for three whole days. There are indeed some ancient formulas. Eldest Imperial Princess's illness should have been saved, but those ancient formulas were made by an ancestor from hundreds of years ago. No one knows how many medicinal ingredients they need in the Modern World, and the imperial physicians in the palace have only seen these medicinal ingredients in ancient books.
Soong Yuzhe frowned and asked, "Do you have a map?"
"The problem is that there is no map, only the names of the medicinal herbs. I've already asked around the infirmary and medicine stores in Beijing, and no one has been able to identify these medicinal herbs."
Eldest Imperial Princess chuckled and said, "Master Lu, don't waste your energy. This illness of mine is the will of heaven."
Hearing Lu Shangduo's words, Princess Chu Yu once again choked with sobs, "Many years ago, Royal Father had sent a letter to Eli Empire's Immortal Child Prodigy, introducing my sister's condition. Immortal Child Prodigy replied that only a few ancient people can cure this disease, but he doesn't know how to concoct it. It wasn't easy to find these ancient formulas in the Medicine Pavilion of the Pharmaceutical Bureau, and a method to concoct them. However, no one was able to recognize the medicinal ingredients in the formula. "
At this point, Chu Yu shouted angrily, "Sister, the Heavens really have no conscience. There are obstacles everywhere, and I hate it."
Eldest Imperial Princess smiled and caressed Chu Yu's hand to comfort her.
Then, he heard Ye Tian say: "Can I have a look at the names of those herbs?"
Lu Shangduo looked at Ye Tian doubtfully, then looked at Soong Yuzhe. Soong Yuzhe nodded with a smile.
With Soong Yuzhe's approval, Lu Shangduo handed over the ancient recipe to Ye Tian. Ye Tian took it and held it in his hands. The words were already somewhat blurred, but looking at it, the names of those herbs were pretty familiar.
After a quick glance, Ye Tian said: "I know most of the herbs here, but I still need to think it over carefully. How about this, I will record the recipe and go back home to study it?"
Lu Shangduo stared blankly for a moment, then said, "President Ye is willing to help, so of course we welcome him."
However, Ye Tian could tell that he was just fawning over him. All the famous doctors in the palace and the capital had looked for him, but none of them were able to recognize these few medicinal herbs.
Only Soong Yuzhe looked at Ye Tian with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
After copying the formula and saying goodbye to Eldest Imperial Princess, Ye Tian sat in Soong Yuzhe's carriage and returned to Jade Lake West Garden.
At night, after eating dinner, he chatted and laughed with Mei Rou, and once again, he was teased by Mei Rou until he became extremely embarrassed. His face turned red and his ears reddened, and he fled in a flustered manner.
Then, amidst Mei Rou's complacent laughter, the two of them went back to their respective rooms to rest.
Returning to his room, Ye Tian lit a candle and took out the formula he had copied during the day. He then started to read it carefully.
There were a total of twenty-two medicinal herbs in the recipe, eighteen of which Ye Tian could easily describe without even thinking. There were also four different flavors, which were Sichuan jute, Black Leafed Grass, Sandboard, and Simian Bone. However, Ye Tian had never learned them before.
After some thought, Ye Tian stood up and looked out the window. The candles in the west wing had been extinguished, and Mei Rou had already fallen asleep.
Ye Tian was in the pharmacy that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"He's coming." Hua Tianrou stood behind Ye Tian and said lightly.
Ye Tian chuckled and said: "I don't have any classes today, so I need your help."
"Go ahead."
Ye Tian took out the prescription, pointed at the four herbs that he had never seen before, and said: "Where can I find these few herbs?"
"These four herbs, they are a combination of insect and grass, and are considered intermediate herbs. You can find them in the second area of the pharmacy." Hua Tianrou said lightly.
Ye Tian asked again with a smile, "Where's the map?"
Hua Tianrou handed Ye Tian a piece of paper.
Ye Tian took the paper. On the paper, there was only one picture of the herb. Ye Tian asked in confusion: "Why is there only one?"
"This is a magic map. You can only display one at a time. Each time you find a herb shown on the map, it will show the next one. So, you can only look at it one by one."
"Huh?" Ye Tian was speechless.
Ye Tian brought the atlas to the second region helplessly.
It was a good thing that the number of iron frames in the second area was only about ten to two when compared to the first area.
Ye Tian heaved a sigh of relief as he thought, "Fortunately, I have a lot less. Otherwise, I would be dead from exhaustion."
Holding the map, Ye Tian started to search one by one.
Ye Tian paced back and forth along the rows of high iron shelves. But after four hours had passed, the diagrams still did not show the names and patterns of the four medicinal ingredients, Sancha hempen, Black Leafed Grass, Sandboard, and Occult Bone. Ye Tian started to suspect if that Hua Tianrou was intentionally playing tricks on him.
Six hours later, Ye Tian was so tired that he was about to collapse. Finally, on the one hundred fourteenth herb, the name of the Black Leaf Grass appeared.
Ye Tian's tired body became excited again.
Once again, he searched through them one by one.
When Ye Tian found the last of the four herbs, he was so tired that he was about to run out of steam. Holding that map, Ye Tian smiled in satisfaction. However, Ye Tian's smile quickly faded and the picture in his hand still showed Chuan Ma. This meant that sesame seed was the last herb shown on the map.
Ye Tian had identified all the herbs in the entire second region.
Ye Tian returned to the palace in a flustered and exasperated manner. He found Hua Tianrou and said with a cold mouth, "Why are all the four herbs I found at the end? I searched through the entire second region."
"Congratulations, you are now an intermediate Herbalist." Hua Tianrou said indifferently.
Ye Tian opened and closed his mouth. It seemed like he was right about Hua Tianrou. With the help of searching for the herbs, he managed to identify more than a hundred medicinal herbs in the second region.
At the same time, Ye Tian became more focused in his search for the herbs. Every time a new pattern appeared on the map, he would carefully identify it, afraid that he would miss it due to his own negligence. After he had taken a look at nearly a hundred different medicinal ingredients, he instead remembered them more clearly and accurately.
In just one night, Ye Tian passed the second lesson in Herbalist.
Ye Tian felt his heart itchy as he looked at Hua Tianrou's indifferent expression. He really didn't know that Little Dragon Maiden knew how to play. If he didn't show off his skills, he would teach him the second lesson.
Teacher did save some trouble, but he had suffered so much for his disciple. Needless to say, his back ached from the pain, but the key point was that his eyes felt like they had been sprayed with hot pepper water.
However, Ye Tian couldn't say anything due to the pain. Instead, he bowed coldly towards Hua Tianrou and said respectfully, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
Lifting up his body, Ye Tian chuckled: "Then I'll go back first and take a rest."
Hua Tianrou glanced at Ye Tian and went to water the flowers.
Ye Tian curled his lips, pinched the jade with his left thumb, and returned to the Jade Lake West Garden.
Outside the window, it was still dark, but Ye Tian's mind was already clear about the names, shapes, and identification techniques of all the medicinal herbs in the second area. The title of Intermediate Herbalist was not just for show.
On the second day, after the assembly, Ye Tian hurriedly left the palace and returned to Jade Lake West Garden.
He opened the drawer under the bed and took out a silver crossbow. Ever since last month, when he and Mei Rou were found out by people on the streets, Ye Tian had specially made a Pulley Type Steel Crossbow for himself to use as a form of defense.
Through technical improvements and technological improvements, the Pulley Type Steel Crossbow became smaller in size, lighter in weight, faster in firing, and had a longer range.
Ye Tian changed into a suit, put the crossbow in his pocket, and prepared some rope and steel claws. He then left the house and headed straight for the largest mountain on the western outskirts of the capital, Jade Emperor Mountain.
The Jade Emperor Mountain spanned for ten miles and took up a considerable amount of land. Due to its proximity to the capital city, the few mountain peaks facing the west gate of the capital had become tourist attractions for the noble ladies.
The front mountain and the back mountain were separated by a long cliff, while only a few stone bridges were connected. Moreover, there were rumors that there were ferocious Devil Beast behind the mountain, so ordinary people would not dare to go over.
At this moment, although there was not a shred of force or mana in his body, Ye Tian still relied on the strength of his muscles to climb to the back of the mountain.
Looking at the dense forest and the vegetation in the mountains, Ye Tian thought to himself: Practice is the only standard to test the truth. After studying theory for such a long time, it had to be combined with practice.
