After handing over the prescription and medicine to Cai Chao, Li An did not go to Yundao Teahouse for tea for half a month.
In addition, in order to avoid Song Mingzhang, he did not even stay at home and went out early the next morning.
After leaving Tianyang City, he went to various towns near Tianyang City and bought a large number of books. Two months later, he slowly returned to the city.
In the evening of this day, he finally returned to Anle Street and prepared to go to Yundao Teahouse for a drink.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Xiao Chen was overjoyed when he saw him, and hurried out to greet him:
"Master Zuo, you are finally here!"
"Please come in, please come in! Our boss has been looking for you like crazy these past two months!"
After that, he led Li An in and shouted excitedly:
"Mr. Zuo is here, Mr. Zuo is here!"
Li An looked puzzled, "Xiao Chen, your boss is looking for me? Is there anything important?"
Xiao Chen was very excited, but said: "Master Zuo, I dare not say anything, please wait a moment, the boss will come out soon!"
Sure enough, as soon as Li An sat down, the boss Cai Chao walked out excitedly, walked directly to Li An's side, and grabbed his hand: "Brother Zuo, you made me look for you so hard!"
"Xiao Chen, hurry up, notify Master Song immediately, don't delay!"
Xiao Chen said "Okay", and then ran out of the teahouse.
"Brother Cai, what's going on?"
Li An asked.
"Brother Zuo, your prescription is amazing! Amazing!"
Cai Chao's eyes were no longer arrogant and cold, but full of admiration. "Two months ago, I handed over the medicine and prescription you gave to Master Song. When Master Song saw the prescription, he was shocked and grabbed me, asking where I was. He said that the prescription could cure her granddaughter's illness!"
"I hurriedly took him to look for you everywhere, but after asking around in Wuyang Street, I couldn't find your residence. It was Xiao Chen who was smart and went to Anle Street. After asking, I found out where your house is. "
"What a pity, you are not here. Master Song has been waiting at the door for ten days!"
Speaking of these things, he was still full of emotion and said:
"Brother Zuo, you are really a hidden talent, a hidden talent..."
There was indeed some complexity in his eyes. You must know how great Master Song is. For his granddaughter's illness, he has found countless famous doctors and alchemists in the city, but they are all helpless. Unexpectedly, Li An can cure it!
In so many years, it was the first time he saw Master Song condescending to wait for others for ten days.
Later, Master Song really couldn't wait any longer, and he also told him to help find out where Li An was.
Li An was a little surprised when he heard this, "Master Song has been waiting for me for ten days?!"
"It's a sin, a sin! How can I let such a master wait for so long... Zuo Wen deserves death!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, an old and powerful voice came from outside: "What crime has Zuo Daoyou committed!"
An old man in a white robe walked in, followed by Xiao Chen.
"Master Song, you are finally here!"
Cai Chao stood up and greeted him respectfully.
Li An also moved and stepped forward to greet him.
"Zuo Wen greets the senior!"
Song Mingzhang stepped forward personally and helped Li An up with both hands. In his turbid old eyes, there was a touch of excitement, "Daoyou, don't be polite. Come on, Boss Cai, please prepare a quiet box. I want to have a good chat with Zuo Daoyou!"
"By the way, I won't drink tea today, but wine. Please bring two pots of the best wine!"
...
In the box
Cai Chao accompanied him cautiously, and Song Mingzhang and Li An also sat down.
"My friend, I will never forget your kindness in giving me the prescription. Come, I will toast you a cup!"
Song Mingzhang spoke, then raised his cup and drank it all.
Li An hurriedly drank a cup as well.
"My friend, where did you get that prescription? I am really curious. I know everything, but I didn't expect that the combination would have such a miraculous effect..."
There was curiosity in his old eyes.
Li An smiled and said, "Senior, actually this prescription... was given to me by you."
"Ah?"
"Senior, the 79th page of "The Art of Distinguishing Alchemy" says: 'The elixir is the essence of herbs, which is condensed into a furnace and the impurities are removed', and the 83rd page of "The Secret of Identifying Grasses" says: 'The poison is the impurity of the grass', and I have studied poisons quite a bit, and I have read the "Poison Classic", which says that there was a great man in a certain continent who had hysteria and was cured by "Devil Soul Grass". The Devil Soul Grass is poison..."
Li An Kan Talking calmly: "So Zuo Wente knows that if poison is used properly, it can also save lives!"
"And for the disease of 'Yin Ulceration', according to its symptoms, it is necessary to use 'Yangchun Grass', 'Guyuan Root' and other things, but if these things are used to make pills, their impurities and poisons will be removed, and some things will be missing. Therefore, it can only be made into a prescription but not a pill. Moreover, it is necessary to use high-quality spiritual medicine to eliminate the poison gas to avoid chaos..."
He said calmly, and Song Mingzhang nodded constantly, and at the same time, surprise flashed in his eyes!
He could see that Li An read...really a lot!
Moreover, he formed his own set of understandings, and was able to combine the knowledge in different books and use them flexibly.
This is very rare!
Over the years, countless people have written to him in the name of "seeking knowledge" to recommend themselves or visited him, and some people even knelt outside his door for three days and three nights. In fact, Song Mingzhang was already in his old age, and he had thought about accepting disciples, but those people were all utilitarian and shallow without exception!
And Li An really read books thoroughly.
Moreover, Li An remembered the theories in "Knowing Grass Secrets" and "Differentiation of Alchemy" so clearly that he could even recite them casually on that page...
This means that he must have read these two books repeatedly and memorized them by heart!
But didn't Li An only read them for three days?
He even had a negative impression of Li An because of this, thinking that Li An was also playing tricks to get close to him.
"Has Fellow Daoist Zuo studied "Knowing Grass Secrets" and "Differentiation of Alchemy" in depth?"
He couldn't help asking.
Li An smiled and said, "I dare not say I studied it in depth, but I got the book from the senior at that time, and the notes were detailed and the descriptions were accurate, so I learned a lot from it."
Immediately, he simply said some of the notes Song Mingzhang had taken in the book.
The more Song Mingzhang listened, the more surprised he was, and the happier he was!
Because, not a single word of what Li An said was wrong, and his understanding was very deep and unique.
He was originally wondering if Li An had studied and worked hard in other places.
But now it is confirmed... Li An really got these contents from his own notes.
"In three days, he read through two books and was able to remember them so well. He is really knowledgeable and has a strong memory..."
For a moment, he felt that Li An was simply a pearl covered in dust. He had been sinking in the poor streets and alleys of Anle Street for so many years!
What a pity!
Cai Chao, who was standing next to him, also had some complicated feelings. Although he didn't know much about the books and theories that Li An talked about, he could see from Li An's slow and easy-to-understand words that Li An must be a talented person.
Adding to Song Mingzhang's expression, he was more certain that Song Mingzhang was probably impressed by Li An.
He couldn't help but be in a trance. Li An had been studying various miscellaneous books for five years and even didn't work, but now he has made a big splash!
For a moment, thinking of how he had misunderstood Li An and mocked him coldly a few years ago, his face turned red.
"By the way," Li An said, and then explained: "In the past two months, Zuo has been out to various places to find some books and has not returned. I am really sorry to have kept Senior Song waiting for a long time. I will use this cup to make up for my sins!"
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Song Mingzhang said: "I heard that you also love reading? I think your collection of books must be very expensive? I also have a lot of books. Can I visit your residence?"
Song Mingzhang already had an idea in his mind, but he was not in a hurry!
Li An said: "Okay, please!"
