”About a year.”
In the later stages, the situation will worsen faster. A year, is just a very optimistic number. It is possible that it will be even shorter …
Su Li did not have the heart to say the rest of his words.
”One year!” Mo Lianjue's smile did not waver, but there was an unrelenting loneliness in his eyes. ”It's been a while.”
At the very least, it would be able to support him in completing what he wanted to do.
”Don't worry, I'll think of a way to refine medicinal herbs as well.” Seeing him like this, Su Li had a bad feeling in his heart.
”Mm, this is all fate. Being able to have a year of time is already a gift from the heavens.”
”Let me do the acupuncture for you first.” Su Li's voice was low, the Da Wa went to get the candlestick.
According to the acupuncture points, she inserted the needles that had different lengths one by one, leaving only a centimeter on the outside.
Da Wa read carefully and learned earnestly.
After half an incense worth of time had passed, Su Li finally pulled out the needles one by one, bringing out a lot of dark red blood.
”It seems more comfortable than before.” A hint of laughter flashed across Mo Lianjue's eyes, and his voice returned to its initial tranquility.
”This method will not cure the root of the problem. I still need to find the medicinal ingredients.” Su Li indicated for Da Wa to bring out a pen and paper. According to the records written on the prescription, he wrote down all the five stages of the medicinal ingredients and gave them to Mo Lianjue.
”Thank you very much.”
Mo Lianjue stayed in the infirmary to eat something before leaving.
Su Li thought that since Mo Lianjue lived in the palace, he would only be able to leave when the time was set for each month. If no one else was available to help him find all the medicinal ingredients, it would be very difficult.
She could not bother to rest, and directly brought Stars Pet Chain Supermarket with her after asking Jian Zhihang where the medicine store was.
The herb merchant's shop was in the city. Any herb gatherer that came from afar would sell the herb here.
The shopkeeper looked at the purchase order that Su Li had given, rubbed his eyes, and then looked at it a second time before shaking his head and sighing, ”These medicinal ingredients are rare even in a few years, is Fourth Miss anxious?”
”Un, I'm anxious. As long as I can find these medicinal herbs, the price is alright.”
”How about this, I'll tell this to the herb pickers and have them pay attention to this matter.”
”Do you have any of the ingredients here?” Su Li looked around the shop, where there were many fresh herbs that had just been collected.
”What a coincidence. Just now, a herb picker delivered a stalk of Blood Orchid. Fourth Miss, do you want to take a look?”
”Alright.”
The shopkeeper went to the counter and took out a stalk of Blood Orchid.
The blood orchid should have just been harvested not too long ago, so its rhizome was not damaged. Its roots were still stained with dirt.
Su Li's eyes lit up. Although some rare and precious herbs were extremely precious and difficult to survive in other places, she could still try to cultivate them. If she could grow them, then that would be for the best.
Blood Orchid was needed in the fifth stage. Before that, it was worth a try.
”How much is it? I'll take it. ”
”Blood Orchid is extremely rare and, to be honest, the Marquis Cheng'en Palace has been taking this kind of medicinal herbs. If they were to take it to the Marquis Cheng'en Palace, they could at least sell it for fifty gold taels.”
”Alright, give it to me.” Su Li touched his sleeves. Damn it, I didn't bring any banknotes today, can the shopkeeper come with me to the Fifth Prince's Mansion to retrieve the banknotes?
”Naturally.” The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly as he secretly rejoiced.
