“Elder Sheriff Cold, what Nine Lives Healing?” The ruler of the Cheng Yu Kingdom, Situ Qian, had obviously never come into contact with this kind of healing medicinal liquid.
This old man was none other than the first county duke of Cheng Yu Kingdom, Han Sheng An. The Star Han Empire’s noble titles were divided into nine ranks in addition to the Star Han Empire’s emperors, which were Duke of State, Collared King, Marquis of State, Uncle of State, King of County, Duke of County, Marquis of County, Marquis of County, and Uncle of County.
The County Duke of the Lords Kingdom looked like he was still below the County King of a party, but in fact, in the Great Hall of the Lords Kingdom, the County Duke’s status was definitely higher than that of the County King. Just like Situ Qian, the lord king, in the Star Han Empire looks second only to the state duke, in fact if placed in the Golden Hall of the Star Han Empire, the status of a lord king may not be comparable to a state uncle.
The only difference with those dukes and marquises was that both collar kings and county kings were considered to be a party of great magnates, with their own armies and the right to speak. As long as they were not in the Imperial Golden Palace, their power was far from being comparable to those dukes and marquises.
Han Sheng’an hurriedly stepped forward and said, ”Back to the king, a few months ago, Dan Han Refining Pill had once released a large advert for a new medicine in the royal capital Raozhou. They developed a new injury healing medicine called Nine Lives Healing Liquid.”
Situ Qian nodded, he had heard about this matter and did not take it seriously at the time. Dan Han’s drug refining was also considered to have made a certain contribution to the Cheng Yu Kingdom, and although the name was a bit of a mouthful, it wasn’t considered a violation.
Han Sheng’an continued: ”The advert for the Nine Lives Healing Liquid was very loud, saying that as long as there was still a breath of life left in the injury, the Nine Lives Healing Liquid would be able to save its life. This matter was a sensation at the time, and rumour has it that the Nine Lives Healing Wound also sold extremely well as a result. The old minister had also ordered people to purchase some, only there was no follow-up to check, because the old minister also thought that the rumour was false. With what General Fei Hu said today, I think the healing effect of this injury medicine is true.”
“General Fei Hu, are Old Sheriff Cold’s words and what you said true?” Situ Qian’s gaze turned green.
As a Lord King, as long as he was perceived, how could his sensitivity in this area be comparable to Mo Wuji’s hindsight? He was the first to catch on to the fact that this kind of healing medicine was definitely an asset to the army. He had to utilise this medicine to gain more benefits for the Lord Cheng Yu Kingdom before the empire reacted. More importantly, he had to block the refining method of this medicine from spreading out, and at the same time confine that pill refiner.
“It’s completely true, this matter was presented to me by the Iron Character Department’s military camp based on facts.” Zhao Feihu said with certainty.
“Come on people, immediately put all the people related to the Dan Han Pill Refining under control. Immediately bring the alchemist who researched the Nine Lives Healing Liquid from Dan Han Pill Refining here.” Situ Qian didn’t hesitate to give the order after ascertaining the facts.
“Your Majesty wait for a moment.” An obese man suddenly walked out and bowed.
Situ Qian’s hand paused for a moment, stopping the personal guards who were going to carry out the order, and forcibly holding back his anger, he asked, “Aiqing Ji, what do you have to say at this time?”
The obese man carefully pulled out a piece of paper filled with writing from his sleeve and handed it up with a trembling hand, “Your Majesty, when I came to court this morning, there were people distributing this kind of thing everywhere. It said that it was the formula of the Nine Lives Healing Liquid, and that Mo Wuji, the developer of the Nine Lives Healing Liquid, had given it out free of charge in honour of his parents, and in order to accumulate merit for the benefit of the poor people in the four directions.”
“What?” Situ Qian hurriedly opened the paper and saw that it was densely written on it. The content was the refining method of the Nine Lives Healing Liquid, not only was the method exhaustive, even the principle was explained clearly, even he knew at a glance where he should start producing this kind of thing.
This piece of paper also detailed why the Nine Lives Healing Liquid was able to stifle bacterial infections, and at the same time had another name, penicillin.
“Snap!” Situ Qian slapped the paper down and said angrily, “Someone, immediately go and bring that Mo Wuji here, while checking how long this formula has been distributed and to whom. If it can be controlled, control all these people who got the formula.”
There was another sentence that Situ Qian didn’t say, after these people were controlled, those who could be killed would be killed, and those who couldn’t be killed would be thrown to the Pill Refining Workshop that he was about to start, specialising in the production of the Nine Lives Healing Liquid.
The hall was silent, no one spoke at this time. As long as one wasn’t a fool, one would know that this approach of the Collar King was completely unworkable.
What time was the morning court? It was a time when the sky was still light, and now that lunch was about to be eaten, half of the morning had passed. It would be strange to be able to collect all these things back.
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, the commander of the guards hurriedly came up to report, “Your Majesty, that Mo Wuji invited several printing workshops. Overnight, hundreds of thousands of such formulas were printed, and hundreds of people were hired to distribute them inside and outside the four city gates of Raozhou in the early hours of this morning before dawn. On top of that, dozens of people were also hired to leave the city and go to other key transport routes to distribute them for free. At this moment, I’m afraid that most of the merchants in and out of the city, as well as those in and out of the city, have obtained this formula.”
Situ Qian’s hand hung down feebly, how many merchants and loafers came in and out of Raozhou every day? Could he catch them all? To put it in a ten thousand steps, even if he caught them all, what would be the use?
How could Raozhou not have spies from other countries? An epoch-making healing liquid like the Nine Lives Healing Fluid would have long been sent back to their respective countries by these people through various means. What’s more, this dastardly Mo Wuji had hired someone to leave Rao Zhou City to distribute it, so even if they were immortals, there would be no way to retrieve it.
“Your Majesty, could this Mo Wuji be doing this on purpose because he realised something?” A white-faced man stepped forward and said.
Situ Qian frowned slightly, it wasn’t impossible. But since he realised it, why did he wait until today to distribute the formula for this wound healing medicine?
“It shouldn’t be, right? If that Mo Wuji was so sensitive, he wouldn’t have waited until today to do something like this. He would have done it when the Nine Lives Healing Pill started selling big. Or even, he wouldn’t have taken out the Nine Lives Cure at all.” Han Sheng’an somewhat disagreed with this view.
Lord Lord Situ Qian’s emotions completely calmed down as he said in a deep voice, “Dan Han’s pill refining should not be controlled for the time being, so what is the origin of Mo Wuji who researched the Nine Lives Healing Liquid? Most of the pill refiners in my Lord Cheng Yu Kingdom are also from somewhere, right?”
That forbidden guard commander hurriedly said, “Mo Wuji’s original name is Mo Xinghe, his father is Mo Guangyuan, and his grandfather is Mo Tiancheng.”
“Mo Tiancheng? It’s the Northern Qin County King?” Situ Qian finally remembered, the name Mo Tiancheng was still familiar to him.
The commander of the forbidden guards responded, “It is exactly him, after Mo Tiancheng came to Raozhou twenty years ago, he lost the news. Later, Mo Guangyuan brought his wife and son to Raozhou as well, a few years ago, Mo Guangyuan and his wife fell ill and died, leaving behind Mo Xinghe. Mo Xinghe’s desire to become the Northern Qin County King eventually led to madness. A few months ago, Mo Xinghe seemed to be showing signs of improvement and even went to Rao Zhou Guild to look for a job. He changed his name to Mo Wuji and joined Dan Han Pill Refining, becoming a pill refiner for Dan Han Pill Refining while developing the Nine Lives Healing Liquid.”
The Forbidden Guard Commander spoke in a very general way, but most of the people in this great hall knew what was going on. Mo Guangyuan hadn’t sent few gifts after arriving in Raozhou. There really weren’t many people in this great hall who hadn’t received gifts from Mo Guangyuan. As for Mo Guangyuan’s son Mo Xinghe going crazy, they had all heard about it as well. The only thing that hadn’t been expected was that Mo Xinghe had made such a shocking move after getting better.
Situ Qian didn’t say anything, he also knew about the matter of the Northern Qin County King’s family, which was somewhat complicated. To put it bluntly, the Mo family’s loss of the County King’s position had something to do with him as well. He had similarly heard about Mo Tiancheng’s grandson, Mo Xinghe, going crazy. What he hadn’t expected was that this Mo Xinghe hadn’t died until now.
Just at this moment, a voice came from outside the hall once again, “Mo Wuji is here.”
“There’s no need to bring him up, directly push him out to be beheaded.” Situ Qian said in a cold tone.
