Chapter 244: The medical family’s greatest treasure, the family of the medical saint!
“Do you think anyone is worthy of serving under me?”

Jia Cong looked coldly at Cheng Guangyi, who died with his eyes open, and then gave the order.

“Hou Jingyun, take these pirates’ captives away and torture them!”

“Find out where their lair is!”

“Since they are trying every possible means to get me to go to their lair.”

“Then why not go and have a look!”

“I obey my orders!”

Hou Jingyun smiled cruelly, and took a few Blood-Clothed Guards and escorted the pirate captives down the deck.

How could pirates who make a living by burning, killing and looting at sea have any backbone?

In just a short while, Hou Jingyun had tortured the Sea Dragon Bandits into revealing their lair!
It’s only two hundred nautical miles from here.

He was just about to order the fleet to continue its journey.

Another personal soldier came to report.

“Commander Qi!”

“Someone on the merchant ship that was just robbed by the Sea Dragon wants to see the Marshal!”

“It is said that there is a valuable treasure to offer as a reward!”

“Heavy treasure?”

Jia Cong originally wanted to ask his personal soldiers to refuse the gift directly, but when he heard the word “precious treasure”, he hesitated for a moment.

“Bring them up here!”

“promise!”

Not long after, two people, one old and one young, wearing Confucian robes, were led onto the deck by the bodyguards.

“Zhang Xueyuan from Nanyang pays homage to Marquis Jing’an!”

The old man had white hair and beard, but he had a youthful face, a very rosy complexion, and skin like that of a baby.

“Nanyang?”

“Are you from a family of medical saints?”

Jia Cong thought for a moment and asked casually.

Among all the schools of thought, medicine is not the most prominent one, but it is a group that no one can ignore!
There is no other reason. No one can guarantee that their relatives and friends will be free from disasters and illnesses throughout their lives.

Even if the imperial physicians from the palace visited the homes of the powerful and wealthy in the capital, the patients would be polite to them.

Among the several schools of medicine, two are the most prosperous.

The Bian Que School and the Shang Han School.

The former was created by the ancestor of medicine Bian Que, and the earliest one was the four diagnostic methods of “observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation”.

It has developed over countless years and integrated into Confucianism and Taoism.

From great medical scholars to ordinary doctors, most of them are from the Bian Que school.

The latter was created by the doctor Zhang Zhongjing.

He was good at treating typhoid fever and proposed the theory of “Six Channels Syndrome Differentiation”, classifying typhoid fever according to the six channels.

Today, diagnosis and treatment are mostly based on Confucian and Taoist methods.

Compared with the Bian Que School, it is more like an elite inheritance.

The Zhang family of Nanyang are the descendants of Zhang Zhongjing.

They are respected by the world as a family of medical saints.

“In reply to the Marquis, I am from the second branch of the Zhang family!”

“My elder brother Zhang Xueming is the current head of the Zhang family!”

Zhang Xueyuan reported respectfully.

The second branch of the Medical Saint family is considered the second most important person in the Zhang family.

He is a great medical scholar of the third realm and has been practicing medicine to save lives for decades.

They all have considerable prestige in Daqian and are guests of honor of various powerful families.

But this status is far inferior to that of Jia Cong.

The navy along the southeastern coast has been mobilized, waiting for Jia Cong to take charge of the situation.

Since there was not much time left, Jia Cong simply asked straight to the point.

“You just said you had a treasure to give to me?”

“Thanks to the help of the Marquis, my nephew and I were able to escape danger today.”

The Zhang family in Nanyang is located inland and originally had no maritime trade.

This time, seven merchant ships were temporarily loaned out to sea in search of a rare elixir.

How could he know that he had to pay protection money to Cheng Guangyi, which was why he was targeted by the Sea Dragon Pirates. If it were on land, the major forces would at least give the Medical Saint Family some face.

But Cheng Guangyi is well-known overseas, so he doesn’t care how powerful you are on land.

“My Lord, please look!”

As Cheng Guangyi spoke, he took out a box and opened it.

But there were seven emerald green gems neatly arranged inside.

A strong aroma of medicinal herbs filled the air, and just smelling it made people feel refreshed.

There were several Blood-Cloaked Guards who had suffered hidden injuries on the battlefield.

He even felt that the injuries that were difficult to heal at this moment were mostly cured!

“The most precious treasure of the medical family, the Medicine Spirit Pearl?”

Gongshu Yu couldn’t help but let out a soft cry.

The Medicine Spirit Pearl is the most famous treasure of the Medical Saint family.

It looks like medicine but it is not medicine, it looks like treasure but it is not a treasure.

It is a collection of a large amount of spiritual medicine essence, condensed using the Zhang family’s secret method.

That is to say, this is a family of medical saints. Whenever they go out to see patients, the patients would reward them with magical medicines, which is why they were able to raise so many magical medicines.

If it were a Xuanmen Taoist sect, even Longhu Mountain would not be willing to spend so many elixirs to refine a gem.

Not only does it cost the elixir, it also requires a great scholar to spend sixty years to carefully refine it before it can become a pearl.

It is said to be able to ward off all poisons and cure all diseases!
Its value is even higher than that of great scholar’s ​​treasures!
If you have one by your side, you will be immune to all poisons and diseases.

If it is a critical moment, you can swallow it directly. As long as you have a breath left, you can revive the dead and turn the bones into flesh!

It’s like a second life.

……

“My brother originally asked me to exchange this medicinal spirit bead for a rare spiritual medicine, but something went wrong and I was not able to do so.”

“Today I present this to you, Lord Marquis, as a reward for saving my life!”

Zhang Xueyuan respectfully handed the box containing seven medicinal beads to Jia Cong.

For a moment, Qingjing Taoist and Xuanyangzi from Wuyi Mountain on the boat were extremely jealous.

At the beginning of Daqian’s establishment, Taizu sent people to the Zhang family to ask for medicine, but the Zhang family only gave them one pill.

But now, Zhang Xueyuan took out seven of them at once and gave them to Jia Cong!
“Is there anything your Zhang family would like to ask me for help?”

But Jia Cong was extremely calm and looked at Zhang Xueyuan calmly.

He had no intention of accepting this treasure that was sought after by countless people.

“As the commander-in-chief of the Canghai Road Army, it is my duty to wipe out the pirates!”

“If it’s a reward, forget it!”

“If you are willing to sell it, I am willing to exchange it for four great scholarly treasures and two seven-refined magic treasures!”

……

“This… To be honest, my ancestor was seriously injured in the past and urgently needed a thousand-year-old dragon blood grass to treat him.”

“The family used a lot of connections to find out that there was one hidden in the Nalanda Monastery in India.”

“I just took my people out to sea, but who would have thought that the Nalanda Temple had already been conquered by the Westerners!”

“This time, the Marquis is going to fight the Westerners. If I can collect that thousand-year-old dragon blood grass, I hope I can sell it to the Zhang family!”

Zhang Xueyuan sighed softly.

A person’s character can only be seen at critical moments.

The seven medicinal beads would make even the royal family unable to resist the temptation.

The first thing Jia Cong thought of was not to accept the treasure, but to explain what happened here first.

No wonder he can achieve such a great career at such a young age!
“I will try my best to help you keep an eye out…”

“But if it’s just an exchange…”

Jia Cong thought for a moment.

“Among doctors, in terms of influence, the Bian Que School is number one, and your family of the Medical Saint is currently ranked second!”

“This Marquis has set up a Dongli Academy in Shenjing City.”

“If your Zhang family is willing, you can send someone to the academy.”

“I can establish a medical school for your Zhang family!”
