Chapter 721 Tianshan Snow Lotus

Lu Fei opened seven boxes one after another, showing off his unconventional style.

In addition to eating dry food, it is water chestnut silver. Compared with the precious medicinal materials prescribed by Xue Taihe, it is simply vulgar.

Lu Fei refused to accept it and opened a box again.

What was inside was also not medicinal materials, but a box full of silver coins.

Facing such a result, Gao Yuan smiled and felt his stomach hurt.

Lu Fei was disappointed at first, but soon discovered that there were indeed some good things in it.

Lu Fei opened five packages of silver coins in a row. There were many versions in them. Nowadays, there are extremely rare and valuable versions on the market. You can find them all here.

Although the total value is not particularly extraordinary, for collectors, these are real treasures. .??.

With the last two boxes left, Lu Fei lost confidence in himself and gave the opportunity to open the boxes to Xue Taihe again.

Science attributes luck to feudal superstition.

But it is undeniable that this thing does exist.

This time Xue Taihe opened the box and found the same mainstream medicinal materials.

The box is divided into two parts: left and right. There are four white porcelain jars on the left, which contain top-quality cordyceps.

The total weight is almost two kilograms, and every Cordyceps sinensis cordyceps is top-notch high-end product.

Neatly stacked on the other side are eight 20-centimeter-square brocade boxes, all of which contain Tianshan snow lotus.

Judging by the color, each snowdrop is no less than fifty years old.

Among them was a blue brocade box with snowdrops in it. It was even more than eighty years old, which was awesome.

Some people may ask, why are snowdrops from a hundred years old so awesome?

In movies, the Millennium Snow Lotus often appears.

Compared with those, aren't you just garbage?

What I'm saying is, don't believe that bullshit.

In TV movies, it is also said that snow lotus can cure all diseases

, eating snow lotus can make people alive with flesh and bones, and even achieve enlightenment and become an immortal!

That's all nonsense.

In fact, the effects of snow lotus are not that impressive.

Its medicinal effects are to warm the kidneys and boost yang, dispel wind and dampness, activate blood circulation and stimulate menstruation.

It is mainly used to treat impotence, weakness of the waist and knees, rheumatic arthralgia, irregular menstruation in women, amenorrhea, abdominal pain due to cold uterus, and cough due to cold drinks, and that's all.

To say that it is a gas station for men and a beauty salon for women, I won’t argue with that.

As for those heaven-defying effects, it is pure nonsense.

Tianshan snow lotus is a very unique plant that only grows on the cliffs in the alpine moraine areas near the northern and southern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains, the Altai Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains.

And it only grows between 2500 meters and 4500 meters above sea level, and the yield is extremely low.

Moreover, it has been hiding in the icy slopes and rock crevices near the hidden alpine snow line for many years, making it very difficult to pick.

In the past, people didn't bother to take the risk of picking snowdrops.

As for being infinitely sought after by people now, it has something to do with a woman.

This woman is the only empress Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian, like all emperors, had a common problem, that is, he was afraid of death.

Due to being too tough when she was young and being busy with government affairs, Her Majesty the Queen's various functions began to age rapidly in her forties, which frightened her.

At this time, Wu Zetian's nephew Wu Sansi offered her a folk remedy.

It is said that Tianshan Snow Lotus can delay aging and beautify the skin.

Wu Zetian was overjoyed and tried it immediately.

At that time, Her Majesty the Queen was not very beautiful and seldom interfered with the government affairs. After more than a month of recuperation, she felt that the effect was very good.

Significantly.

In fact, it's all psychological.

Not only beautiful, but full of energy and strength.

If you ignore government affairs, there won't be so many things to worry about, and everyone will be in a happy mood.

But Wu Zetian didn't know the truth and attributed all this to the miraculous curative effect of Tianshan Snow Lotus.

It is precisely because of this that the strength of Tianshan Snow Lotus has been raised to the top.

In the following decades, Wu Zetian took Tianshan Snow Lotus almost every day.

In fact, snow lotus has no effect of delaying aging at all, but coincidentally, this girl lived to be eighty-one years old by some strange combination of circumstances.

In today's society, people who live into their eighties are everywhere.

But in ancient times, people at such an advanced age were almost like gods on land.

Women of that era would get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen and have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

Then came one nest after another, and even a strong body could not bear it.

Therefore, in that era, the life of a woman was quite short. Many people died in their twenties and thirties, but very few lived to be fifty, let alone eighty.

But people envy Wu Zetian's longevity, but ignore her status and all the resources that ordinary people can't get.

Instead, all the credit for her longevity was attributed to Tianshan Snow Lotus.

This idea is simply foolish.

If Tianshan Snow Lotus is so awesome, why did Wu Sansi, who gave Wu Zetian advice, only live to be fifty-eight?

But no matter what, after the death of Wu Zetian, Tianshan Snow Lotus became popular.

Regarding its medicinal efficacy, it is even more rumored to be miraculous.

As a result, the picking of Tianshan snow lotus has reached an unprecedented level of craziness.

This is nothing short of a disaster for Snow Lotus.

When I arrived at Concubine Yang's place, picking snow lotus became even more crazy.

In order to find Xuelian for Yang Yuhuan, Li Longji even condescended to pay homage to the leader of the Huihe tribe.

By the time of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the Qianlong Dynasty put down the large and small Hezhuo rebellions one after another, welcomed back the Mongolian Turghut tribe from the desert who returned eastward, and unified Xinjiang.

From then on, the Manchu Qing Dynasty specially sent troops to station in Tianshan with only one purpose, and that was to find Xuelian.

When Cixi arrived, she became even more crazy.

Eat snow lotus porridge, drink snow lotus tea, apply pearl snow lotus cream, and even wash your feet with snow lotus water.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, snow lotus had become an endangered species.

Ninety-nine percent of the snow lotuses in pharmacies now are artificially grown.

It is almost impossible to see real wild snow lotus. Even if you see it, you are not allowed to pick it. As long as you pick it, you can eat for free.

As for the old stocks of wild snow lotus, time-honored brands such as Jiuzhitang Tongrentang definitely have them, but don’t expect old ones.

That thing is much rarer than a century-old mallet.

From this we can see how awesome these pure wild Tianshan snow lotuses from the 1950s and 1960s in the box must be.

As for the last box, it's even more remarkable.

This box is filled with boxed pure wild ginseng.

There are sixty-one plants in total, with vintages ranging from 150 to 600. Their value is immeasurable.

After reading all twenty-two boxes, Lu Fei's heart was filled with turmoil.

A family of traditional Chinese medicine that has existed for thousands of years has a very solid foundation.

It is absolutely no exaggeration to say that these treasures are priceless.

Now it seems that Xue Tai and this old apprentice received too much value.

If you shamelessly ask for some of these things, it will be enough for you to squander.
