Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1335: Chapter 1330: Shu Jun’s Herbal Collection

Bai Buzhi glanced at Huo Sining and said unceremoniously, “I suppose you know the current level of medical technology in our country. Given Elder Qin’s condition, it’s already considered late-stage. We can only buy time. I’ve also checked your Qigong Massage Technique. Although it doesn’t address the root cause, at least it can effectively mitigate the recurrence of his symptoms, potentially prolonging his life by two or three years. He’s in his sixties or seventies, so living a couple or three more years isn’t considered a short life.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining’s mouth involuntarily twitched. Although Mr. Bai’s words were not wrong in principle, it sounded unpleasant. This old man seemed to have no taboos, boldly speaking in front of Qin Lianshan and her. Fortunately, Master Qin was still asleep, otherwise, he might have been infuriated.

However, Bai Buzhi apparently hadn’t finished speaking yet. Just as Huo Sining thought that the old man had no cure, he paused for a moment and then spoke again:

“Actually, it’s not entirely incurable.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining’s heart shook, and she looked at Bai Buzhi with a glimmer of hope.

Bai Buzhi’s face showed a hint of bitterness: “I have an ancient medical book here that describes a treatment method for this condition. If we follow this prescription, it should be possible to achieve a cure. But…”

“But what? Mr. Bai, whatever the requirements are, please do tell us. No matter how difficult, we will find a way!”

At this moment, Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian, who had been playing chess outside, also came in. Upon hearing Bai Buzhi’s words, the two childhood friends’ eyes immediately showed joy and amazement.

For Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian, having a curative prescription means great hope. Even if there are conditions or uncertainties with the prescription, they would go through fire and water for even the slightest possibility of a cure.

Looking at Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian’s serious faces, Bai Buzhi couldn’t help but smile wryly: “It’s not a question of difficulty but rather of having no starting point. This prescription is not something I would hide from you, because even if I showed it, it wouldn’t make much difference.”

With that, Bai Buzhi turned to the bookshelf behind him, searched for a while, and finally found an old-fashioned book, placing it in front of the three of them.

“Shu Jun Cai Yao Lu?!”

Seeing this ancient book, Huo Sining was immediately stunned.

Back when she treated Huang Chengyi for leg ailments, she used an ancient prescription for a medicinal bath, a common remedy from her hometown. At that time, Huo Sining used it as a decoy to avoid the Huang Family discovering her possession of the Spirit of Azure Pearl.

Unbeknownst to her, after her uncle Huang Jialin’s investigation, it was discovered that this hometown remedy was indeed an ancient prescription. Its origin was the long-lost precious medical book “Shu Jun Cai Yao Lu”!

Huo Sining remembered that her uncle explained that the author of “Shu Jun Cai Yao Lu” was a disciple of Hua Tuo. This individual ventured alone into the Shu Path, built a hut on Mount Lu, and experimented with medicine until he finally compiled this monumental medical masterpiece.

Huo Sining hadn’t expected that this book, regarded as a treasure by many traditional Chinese medicine scholars and elderly experts, now lay fully intact in Bai Buzhi’s possession, rather than just a few precious pages.

Bai Buzhi’s book was not a conventional printed version but a hand-copied edition.

Judging by the yellowing pages, this hand-copied book seemed quite old. The writing on the pages was neat and precise, using a very standard clerical script, appearing clear and unstained, offering a comfortable reading experience.

Upon seeing this book, Huo Sining felt both startled and skeptical.

Even though “Shu Jun Cai Yao Lu” was revered by medical experts as a classic, it was ultimately passed down from ancient times.

Given modern scientific technology and medical advances, cancer remains an unsolved mystery. How could ancient people possibly have developed a treatment for cancer?

Huo Sining was skeptical of Bai Buzhi’s claim, whereas Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian couldn’t help but act hastily upon seeing Bai Buzhi reveal the medical book: “Mr. Bai, quickly tell us, which prescription in here treats cancer?”

As they flipped through the pages, these two men were utterly lost, unable to discern which prescription they sought.

Seeing Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian’s rough handling of the book, Bai Buzhi grew anxious. He pushed them aside, reprimanding, “Move over, let me do it. The way you are handling it, this book will soon fall apart. I spent considerable effort obtaining this book, don’t ruin it!”

With that, Bai Buzhi carefully opened the index, pointed with his finger, slowly flipping from right to left. Soon, he found a page that documented: “Tumors and goiters, high above and deep below, resembling rocky caves, hanging like beads… Poisonous roots deeply hidden, penetrating and wrapping around…”

The obscure ancient text was beyond Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian’s comprehension, though they could recognize terms like tumor and goiter. Cancer originates as tumors, which indicated this prescription was likely the one Bai Buzhi referred to that could cure cancer.

In realizing this, the two brothers expressed excitement and eagerly focused on the prescription.

However, upon seeing the prescription, they were baffled, and Huo Sining’s expression turned peculiar too.

The text described: Using Golden Lotus Stems and Glacier Ganoderma as main ingredients, then adding century-old Agarwood, ten-year Red Peony Bark, with Sweet Pine and Clove as supplementary ingredients, mashing the Deep Sea Jiaosnake, adding water into the medicine furnace, and repeatedly boiling it into a paste.

This concise prescription baffled Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian, who knew of Agarwood, Red Peony Bark, Sweet Pine, and Clove, but had never heard of Golden Lotus Stems, Deep Sea Jiaosnake, or Glacier Ganoderma.

“Why does this prescription look so odd?” After a few silent moments, Qin Tian couldn’t help but mutter quietly.

Not only Qin Tian but even Ouyang Jun found the prescription peculiar. Seeing the prescription, he felt like his years of education hadn’t taught him anything, leaving him bewildered.
