Chapter 762: Soul-Borrowing Grass
Seeing that everyone in the family was worried, Qiao Ran spoke to comfort them:
"Grandma, don't worry. Even if they are powerful and wealthy, so what? After all, this is near the imperial city, not Qingzhou Prefecture, where the emperor is far away. They dare not go too far."
"Besides, our family is not something that can be bullied casually. Not to mention that we have the two big backers, the General's Mansion and the Dingbei Palace, as well as my father's throne and the dragon-shaped jade pendant given to me by the Emperor. Even the Emperor is wary of us, not to mention these dignitaries in the capital."
"Besides, you forgot that I am also a well-known doctor in the capital! Not only can I treat patients, I can also use poisons. If anyone dares to bully me, I will not let them have an easy time."
The ghost doctor beside him nodded repeatedly as a witness:
"Yes, yes, yes. My master can even easily dissolve my poison, but it is very difficult for me to dissolve the poison she gave me. My master's poison skills are more sophisticated than her medical skills. You don't have to worry about my master being bullied!"
With the testimony of the Ghost Doctor, one of the few great doctors who was famous in the capital and even in the whole of Dai Yue, the tense and depressed mood of the Qiao family gradually eased.
After finally calming down her family members who were extremely worried about her safety, Qiao Ran was impatiently pulled aside by the ghost doctor to show him the precious medicinal herbs he had just obtained.
"Master, look at this!"
The ghost doctor mysteriously took off a small cloth bag from his waist, opened it carefully, and then carefully took out a plant with small purple flowers.
At first glance it looks like Viola yedoensis, but its flower stem is covered with small thorns like a cactus, making people afraid to touch it easily.
"This is……?"
Even though Qiao Ran had seen many Chinese herbal medicines, she had never seen such a strange plant.
When the ghost doctor saw that his master didn't recognize this herb, he suddenly felt much more balanced.
You see, old ginger is still spicy!
Although the master is good at medicine and poison, he is still young after all, and has not seen as many herbs as this old man.
The ghost doctor couldn't help but show off happily:
"Master, you don't recognize this herb? This is the Soul-Borrowing Herb! This thing is so rare! I was lucky enough to find it when I accidentally fell into a cave. I found several Soul-Borrowing Herbs in the cave! I saw that this one was the largest, so I picked it and brought it back. I want Master to see if I can develop its medicinal effects as much as possible, and then I can go and pick other ones."
Qiao Ran quickly searched her mind and found that she had no memory of this soul-borrowing grass.
She did know about the resurrection grass, but it was just a perennial herbaceous fern called Selaginella that could promote blood circulation and relieve menstruation. Apart from treating bruises, abdominal pain, hematemesis, hematuria, bloody stool, asthma and amenorrhea, it did not have any miraculous effects.
What is this soul-borrowing grass? Can it really borrow souls?
"What medicinal effects does this Soul-Borrowing Grass have? Why haven't I heard of it?"
If you don’t understand something, just ask!
Although he is a master, Qiao Ran has never put on airs, nor does he think there is anything shameful in asking his disciples questions when he doesn't understand something.
The ghost doctor felt greatly encouraged.
Master is asking me for advice, but there are still some things I don’t understand, hehe!
He explained with a smug look on his face:
"Master, this Soul-Borrowing Grass is just as its name suggests. When a person is in a critical situation, taking the Soul-Borrowing Grass can temporarily borrow the soul that was supposed to be taken away by the Black and White Impermanence for a few days. Maybe you can find a way to save your life during these few days. This is truly a life-saving medicine! It is a treasure that money cannot buy!"
When Qiao Ran heard this, she became quite interested.
It sounds like this is really a great treasure, even more useful than hundred-year-old ginseng!
The belief that ginseng can keep people alive is actually too mysterious. People who are truly terminally ill or poisoned cannot be kept alive by ginseng alone.
But according to the ghost doctor, this soul-borrowing grass can really keep one alive for a few days.
You know, sometimes, let alone a few days, even a few hours, a few quarters of an hour or even a few breaths can save a life!
