Chapter 422 Ice-condensed jade milk

Xue Taihe said that he had brought special medicine for bone injuries to Lu Fei. Chen Xiang was surprised and begged Xue Taihe to take it out quickly.

Xue Taihe took out a white porcelain bottle slightly larger than an egg from his bag, shook it in front of Chen Xiang, and then uncorked the bottle.

Chen Xiang didn't smell anything, but Lu Fei, who was worried about two meters away, instantly relaxed his brows.

Sniffing, Lu Fei exclaimed.

"Ice-condensed jade milk?"

"Hiss——"

Xue Taihe took a breath and said in surprise.

"Master, do you even recognize this thing?"

"You are so awesome, you deserve to be my master." .??.??

"You are right. This is ice-condensed jade milk. This is a special medicine for bone injuries specially given to you by my apprentice."

"Use this with tiger bone, angelica root, earth dragon and qi"

"Stop, stop, stop, stop the ink stains and show me the ice-condensed jade milk."

Lu Fei interrupted Xue Taihe and said impatiently.

Xue Taihe handed the medicine bottle to Lu Fei with both hands. Lu Fei looked inside the bottle with one eye, then smelled it at a close distance, and the corners of his mouth turned up uncontrollably.

Ice-condensed jade milk.

This thing is so rare.

Ice-condensed jade milk is the natural jade secretion from the source of jade veins.

And only the source of high-quality jade veins from the main dragon veins of Kunlun Mountain can be found.

This secretion is a clear, viscous liquid that is colorless and has a light lime smell.

This kind of liquid will not freeze in an environment of dozens of degrees below zero, and it has strong self-healing power, so it is called ice-condensed jade milk.

With the nourishment of this liquid between the small pieces of jade, after thousands of years, they can condense into a whole, and no flaws can be found whether it is on the outside or when cut open.

Not only jade, but also ice-condensed jade milk has miraculous effects on healing broken bones of humans and animals.

The earliest record of the use of ice-condensed jade milk as medicine appears in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", and is also recorded in the subsequent "Huangdi Neijing" Su Wen Chapter.

The 42nd Celestial Master Zhang Changchang once wrote in "The Family of Celestial Masters of the Han Dynasty"

Already mentioned.

Taoism teaches that when Dao Ling was practicing in the Kunlun Mountains, he was seriously injured while trying to save a pangolin from the mouth of a Kunpeng. His spine was broken and he could not move around.

In order to repay his kindness, the pangolin brought ice-condensed jade milk to heal Zhang Daoling's wounds.

He regained consciousness in just three days and fully recovered in seven days.

Of course, this is just a legend and should not be taken seriously, but the miraculous curative effect of ice-condensed jade milk is not false at all.

This thing grows slowly and has extremely strict requirements on the growth environment. It is an extremely rare natural treasure.

In the eleventh year of Hongwu, the Junggar Khanate paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty in a small bottle of about one or two layers of ice-condensed jade milk.

It happened that Princess Ningguo was injured and had a broken bone, so the imperial doctor tried to use ice-condensed jade milk as medicine, and Princess Ningguo recovered within nine days.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and rewarded Junggar envoys heavily.

But there is also unfortunate news, that is, our Long Live Hongwu fell in love with the magical ice-condensed jade milk.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor immediately, and it was normal for him to conduct military expeditions in person.

An earthen pot will inevitably break when it is away from the edge of a well, and a general will inevitably die in battle.

Years of experience in combat told Zhu Yuanzhang that even the Nine-Fifth Emperor would inevitably be injured.

It would be much safer to have magic medicine like ice-condensed jade milk in your pocket.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang made a shameless request to the Junggar envoy, asking the Junggar Khanate to pay tribute of two thousand kilograms of ice-condensed jade milk every year.

The envoy was stunned when he heard this. He knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and cried bitterly and begged.

The envoy said, how much money can this thing save in a year? The one tael of ice-condensed jade milk that was paid as tribute this time was the khanate's home wealth for several years.

If Your Majesty asks for so much at one time, doesn’t it mean that your concubine wants a child?

You might as well kill me.

Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial doctor also explained, and Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his requirements.

Two thousand pounds?

Yes, but twenty pounds is a must.

This is my minimum requirement, no more.

I don’t care, even if you turn Kunlun Mountain over, you must pay tribute to the Celestial Empire twenty kilograms of ice-condensed jade milk every year, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

When the envoy returned to the Khanate and told the Khan, the Khan was also dumbfounded.

I thought I was using ice-condensed jade milk to show my goodwill to Zhu Yuanzhang, but I didn't expect it to cause a huge disaster.

Twenty pounds of ice-condensed jade milk, isn’t that nonsense?

Where can I get twenty pounds for him?

Not giving it is even worse. Zhu Yuanzhang has a hot temper. If he fails to meet his requirements, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor. In anger, he sends heavenly troops to conquer. How can their small khanate resist it?

So the Khan of Junggar devoted his entire country to looking for ice-condensed jade milk, and after a year he could barely get enough.

An envoy was sent to Zhu Yuanzhang tremblingly, and even though he said good things, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't buy it at all.

Immediately punish the envoy with a rod of thirty, and make up the remaining balance within a time limit.

The envoy returned to Junggar with injuries, and King Khan became anxious after hearing this.

This guy is just unreasonable and driving people to death!

Since you, Zhu Yuanzhang, are unreasonable, then we are not easy to bully. We would rather be broken into pieces than destroyed. At worst, we will fight with him.

At that moment, King Khan ordered that all the known ice-condensed jade milk collection points be destroyed, so that this deceptive thing could completely disappear from the world.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang's pursuit of responsibility, the worst he can do is just do nothing.

King Khan gave an order to destroy all the collection points. As a result, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty rebelled, and due to the lack of peace in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang did not conquer Junggar at all.

Although it was a false alarm, the ice-condensed jade milk, a treasure of heaven and earth, would never be seen again.

After the fall of the Nanming Dynasty and the entry of the Qing Dynasty into the customs, Empress Xiaochengren slipped and fractured her calf. Emperor Kangxi sent Duosuo'etu as an imperial envoy to the Kunlun Mountains to look for ice-condensed jade milk, but failed to find it.

In his previous life, Lu Fei once saw two coins of ice-condensed jade milk from a great man. At that time, he offered to buy it at a high price but failed to do so.

Now I see the real thing again, and

And it was still a small bottle full, how could Lu Fei not be excited.

After closing the bottle cap, Lu Fei asked excitedly.

"Mr. Xue, where did you get this?"

Xue Taihe said respectfully.

"These twenty grams are given to the master by the apprentice. You can use them with confidence."

"As for where it came from, I cannot say, sorry disciple."

Lu Fei curled his lips angrily.

"I said Mr. Xue, are you done yet?"

"I've told you eight hundred times, I can't accept you as my disciple."

Lu Fei said, reluctantly putting the bottle on the table.

"Don't make things difficult for me. I'll give you the ice-condensed jade milk. I can't afford it."

Xue Taihe glanced at the small porcelain vase but did not take it.

"Master, with the ice-condensed jade milk, your recovery speed will be at least twice as fast, and the effect is much better than ordinary drugs. Why do you need to do this?"

"I say it again, don't call me master again."

"Although the medicine I prepared myself is not as effective as the ice-condensed jade milk, one and a half months is enough for recovery."

"Put your things away, I don't need them."

"Master, these twenty grams are my tribute to you. If you accept me, I have a lot more, and I will give them all to you."

"besides?"

"yes!"

"There are many?"

"As long as you accept me, I will give you all the more than two kilograms I have."

"How many?"

"A little over two and a half pounds."

"puff"

"Is this true?"
