Songhai City, Xiaoshengxian Village, and Houshan Bamboo Forest Village.

Bright lights reflected from the window, and two figures were vaguely visible.

Inside the house, Xunzi was sitting at the table with many books on it.

And the person opposite him turned out to be Duan Murong!

Everyone in the Mo family stronghold evacuated during the day, and Duan Murong, a non-staff member, was no exception, but she did not leave for refuge.

Although Duan Murong got involved with the Mo family, and the empire clearly knew that she got involved with the Mo family, she was not wanted.

Who doesn't know that she is the most beloved disciple of Master Shounianduan of the Imperial Medical College? Who dares to arrest her?

Not to mention the close relationship between Nianduan and the national preceptor Gu Xun, the Imperial Medical College is not easy to provoke. It has trained so many doctors, and they are all Nianduan's disciples.

Who dares to offend the doctor when they have nothing to do?

What a group of doctors!

Duan Murong left the stronghold to go to the city to find Xunzi.

Therefore, she was the first person to leave the stronghold, and people entered the city early in the morning.

The purpose of finding Xunzi was naturally to discuss with him how to solve Tianming's physical problems.

After a day of discussion, the two of them managed to come up with some ideas.

"Mr.

Xunzi's expression was much calmer, he stroked his beard and nodded:

"For now, that's it."

"Use pharmaceutical supplements to strengthen the child's physique and improve his endurance, so as to delay the time when he cannot bear it."

"This requires the consumption of a lot of precious drugs, and it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, but at least it will give us more room to develop further treatment options."

"This method is more reliable, and there is no such thing as failure. It's just that as time goes by, his symptoms become more serious, and the difficulty of cure will probably continue to increase."

"As for the root cause..." Xunzi shook his head and sighed, "Although we have some clues based on the records in the fragmentary volume, if we try rashly, the consequences will be difficult to control."

"I think it's better not to take risks."

Xunzi was not a conservative person, but if the cost of being radical was that he might die suddenly on the spot, then he would rather be conservative.

Duan Murong was very embarrassed, "Although the method of strengthening the body is safe, it is also very difficult to implement..."

What Tianming needs is not muscles, but an overall improvement in physical fitness, especially the internal organs and meridians, which cannot be enhanced under normal conditions.

The most suitable method is actually martial arts training, but the speed at which this method takes effect depends on the talent of the person practicing martial arts, and Tianming's talent, as far as Duan Murong knows... seems to be unsightly.

And if you use medicine to supplement, you need to buy some hard goods.

Of course, rare medicinal materials are expensive, but they are nothing to the Mohists.

As for the money, they are not bad.

The problem is that their base camp was taken over by the empire not long ago, and they suffered huge material losses. They didn't have much stock of medicinal materials on hand - it was impossible to take them with them to Songhai.

All local medicinal materials in Songhai have been requisitioned by Mirage, and Yun Zhongjun's need for alchemy is the first priority. This is Ying Zheng's death order.

Even though Fusu ordered that people's livelihood in the city must be stabilized, Meng Tian could only retain a small part of the most basic medicinal materials, barely ensuring the minimum needs of the people.

The Moh family was even less able to obtain medicinal materials, and the ones they could obtain were useless.

In this case, the only way is to find a way to search from other places and then transfer it.

For the Mohists, this is not difficult, but it takes time.

Of course Duanmu Rong is not short of precious medicinal materials, but the prerequisite is that she must be in Xianyang, which she does not have on hand.

It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Duanmu Rong now has no goods and cannot prepare supplementary medicines.

There is only one solution - wait. It probably won't take too long, but it won't be too fast either.

But no one can tell when the next attack will occur tomorrow, and I can’t afford to wait...

Xunzi saw Duanmurong's dilemma, chuckled and said:

"Miss Duanmu is making trouble about medicinal materials?"

"I happen to have a jade-leaf jade flower in my hand. It has nine leaves and is as many as nine springs. Its medicinal properties are enough to revive human flesh and white bones. It should be enough to be used as the main medicine."

"Jiuquan Jade Leaf Flower!?" Duanmu Rong was a little surprised when she heard this.

The jade leaf flower is a precious medicinal material, with mellow and mild medicinal properties and the most nourishing properties. Generally, one flower and five leaves are considered mature and can be used as medicine. After that, each additional leaf will double the medicinal properties.

After one flower and nine leaves, the medicinal properties reach its peak, which is called the Nine-Quan Jade-leaf Flower.

Using this medicine as the main drug, after proper preparation, it is enough to make a medicine that can greatly enhance Tianming's physical fitness.

This almost legendary medicinal material, Duanmu Rong... I have seen it before. Gu Xun has several plants in his collection, and they are basically collected from the imperial treasury.

This kind of magic medicine is something that can only be found and cannot be obtained. Even the Mohist family cannot get it just as soon as they can. Duanmu Rong originally planned to use a few herbs with the same potency as the seven-leaf jade-leaf jade leaf flower to make Tianming

Continuous medication is enough.

Unexpectedly, Xunzi actually had a Jiuquan-level plant in his hands. His Confucian heritage was still profound!

This was actually due to Duan Murong's misunderstanding. The medicine Xunzi had in his hand was not from Confucianism, but from Quicksand - it was a gift given to his teacher by Han Fei.

Of course, this is not important. Anyway, having this medicine is undoubtedly good news. With the medicinal power of Jiuquan Jade Leaf Flower, one plant is stronger than six other medicinal plants, which is enough for use.

But after Duan Murong hesitated for a while, she still chose to refuse, "No, Jiuquan Jade Leaf Flower is a magic medicine. It is too precious and I can't take it."

Xunzi raised his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Medicinal materials are used to cure diseases and save people. Besides, I also like the child Ziming very much and promised to cure him."

"I think my promise is more important than a medicinal plant."

Seeing Xunzi's serious attitude, Duanmu Rong still nodded and accepted the kindness after struggling for a while:

"In this case... I will thank the master on behalf of the child."

"Your kindness, Mo... we will definitely keep it in our hearts and never forget it."

"Haha... none of this is important." Xunzi waved his hand indifferently and said, "Ovary has been taking care of that medicine for me. I will explain it to him later."

Duan Murong didn't know what to say, so she could only bow and thank her again, "Thank you, Master."

………………

Songhai City Port, above the mirage.

On the mirage after dark, the upper floors are brightly lit, but the lower cabins only have a few windows with dim lights.

After all, lighting is a very luxurious thing. There are many people on the mirage now, but the ones with real status and status can be counted on two hands.

Only these big people are worthy of enjoying the night sky, and these big people all live on the upper deck of the mirage.

Today is special. The two guardians on the left and right, as well as the four elders of water, fire and wood, all left the mirage, but not a single light on the upper floor was extinguished.

But the mirage is too big after all. Even if the upper deck is covered with lights as much as possible, there are still too many dark corners that cannot be illuminated by light.

At this time, in the shadow of the deck, a figure glided nimbly through it.

If you look closely, you can see that the upper body is a tight-fitting metal battle suit with fish scales in purple and white patterns, and the lower body is a dark high-cut long skirt. Between the gaps in the skirt, a pair of fishnet stockings and high heels can be vaguely seen.

Needless to say, this unique outfit looks like a startling salamander.

She had not worn this combat uniform for many years, and today she was reliving her old dream.

In fact, from the perspective of infiltration, this outfit is not suitable. Clothes with metal patterns are easy to reflect light, and the friction sound is louder, not to mention the crisp sound of the high heels on the ground.

However, the Frightened Salamander still prefers this outfit when he performs tasks. Even though he hasn't worn it for many years, he still likes it...or is used to it.

As for whether it's secretive or not...it doesn't matter.

There is only one Yun Zhongjun left on the ship. Even if she is wearing a phoenix crown and rosy robe, she feels like she is in a deserted place!

In fact, the giant salamander doesn't mind being discovered.

Because she is here to find someone.

After searching for Concubine Yan to no avail during this period, she finally cast her suspicious eyes on the mirage.

Tonight, while the Yin Yang family was in full force, she explored the mirage at night, firstly to see if she could get a glimpse of the secrets hidden above the mirage, and secondly, to find out whether Concubine Yan was on the boat.

The latter is more important.

Because finding Concubine Yan may be of great help to Jing Salamander in exploring mirages.

Although almost all the senior officials of the Yin Yang Family have left the ship, Jing Salamander still cannot act recklessly on the ship.

You know, this ship was built by public losers with ten years of hard work. You don't need to think about it to know that there must be no shortage of dangerous killing mechanisms on it.

Yan Lu emphasized this point more than once when chatting with her.

Especially those important places where secrets are hidden will inevitably receive the strictest protection.

Jing Salamander doesn't think that a mere agency can do anything to him, but it can easily cause a big disturbance.

No one on the ship can threaten her safety, but if she is really exposed and causes a commotion, she will be in trouble.

It is still necessary to ensure that everything happens as silently as possible.
To be continued...
