35 -035: Spreading the Word and Dispelling Doubts!
After sitting down, Joan Holman brewed a pot of coffee and poured a cup for Lionel Yeager and Cyril Clancy.
Lionel Yeager picked up the cup, took a sip, and then pointed to the Copper Man, curiously asking, “Elder Holman, is this the Acupuncture Bronze Man?”
“Master, you have a sharp eye indeed.”
Joan Holman smiled and said, “This is indeed an Acupuncture Bronze Man, but it’s not a genuine one.
I had someone replicate it.”
Cyril Clancy joked, “How could this old fella possibly have a genuine Acupuncture Bronze Man.
Nowadays, the only one in East Nation is preserved in the East Nation Museum.”
“Oh…”
Lionel Yeager nodded in realization.
The Acupuncture Bronze Man was created by Wang Weiyi, a royal physician of the Northern Song Dynasty.
It is about the same height as an adult, with front and back chest sections that can be opened and closed.
The interior is carved with internal organs, and the surface is engraved with acupoints and their names.
At the same time, yellow wax seals the external holes, and water is injected inside.
If the acupoint is accurately located, the needle will enter, and water will flow out; if not, the needle cannot be inserted.
The Acupuncture Bronze Man is undoubtedly the best instrument for practicing acupuncture in traditional medicine.
Lionel Yeager suddenly thought of something and asked, “There seems to be more than one Acupuncture Bronze Man, where are the others?”
Joan Holman sighed, “There are indeed more than one Acupuncture Bronze Man, and there are three well-preserved ones nowadays.
One of them is in our East Nation Museum, and the other two are in Sakura Country and Kimchi Country.
One of them was looted by Sakura Country, and the other was auctioned off at a world-class auction by Kimchi Country.”
“I see…”
Lionel Yeager clenched his fists slowly and said with determination, “The Acupuncture Bronze Man is a treasure of our nation!
One day, I will bring the other two Acupuncture Bronze Men back to our nation!”
“Well said!”
Cyril Clancy slammed the table and declared, “The treasures that belong to our nation will eventually return!”
Joan Holman was also emotionally moved, “For this, we in the East Nation medicine will devote our lives!”
After calming down, Joan Holman asked, “Master, you said you wanted to talk about something with us.
What is it?”
Lionel Yeager took out a piece of paper and handed it to Joan Holman, saying, “This is a prescription for Pill Refinement.
I am currently collecting the medicinal materials listed.
The circled ones are already collected, and the uncircled ones haven’t been collected yet.
So, I want to ask Elder Holman to help me collect the medicinal materials on the list.”
“Master, you can refine pills?!”
Joan Holman took the prescription, his eyes wide in surprise.
“Just slightly.”
Lionel Yeager nodded.
“Master is indeed extraordinary.
Nowadays, in the whole nation, only a few people can refine pills.”
Joan Holman sighed and continued, “Master, rest assured, I will keep an eye out for you.
If I find any of the medicinal materials on the list, I will send them to you right away.”
Then he thought for a moment, quickly got up, took a sandalwood box from the drawer of his desk, hurriedly walked over and handed it to Lionel Yeager.
“Master, this is a hundred-year-old ginseng gifted to me by an old friend.
It should be useful to you.”
Lionel Yeager took the box, opened it, and looked inside.
Indeed, there was a hundred-year-old ginseng.
Although its drug properties were far inferior to the Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng, it could still substitute for Pill Refinement ingredients.
Lionel Yeager closed the box and said, “Elder Holman, I really need this hundred-year-old ginseng.
Name your price, and I’ll transfer the money to you right away.”
Joan Holman waved his hands repeatedly, “Master, how could I take your money?
That’s too much!
If you need it, just take it!”
Old Hefner, why don’t you call me Senior Brother?”
