Chapter 886: Hua Tuo
Date: 2017-09-25
Location: Bingzhou, outside Beifeng City
After several months of absence, Lu HaiKong finally returned to Beifeng with his Ironblood Cavalry. Although Lu HaiKong had made quite a spectacle in Luoyang, he maintained his usual modest demeanor upon his return to Bingzhou.
Despite his lack of grand entrances, Lu HaiKong's reputation in Bingzhou was already well-established. As the leader of the Ironblood Cavalry, Lu HaiKong commanded respect and admiration from the locals.
As Lu HaiKong approached the city gates, he paused, causing the entire Ironblood Cavalry to halt in perfect unison. The impressive display of discipline left the onlookers in awe.
Lu HaiKong's keen eyes immediately recognized an elderly man among the crowd, a man with a distinct medicinal scent and a finely crafted medicine box hanging from his waist. With his Heaven's Eye Technique, Lu HaiKong instantly identified the man as Hua Tuo, the legendary physician he had been searching for.
Excited by this unexpected encounter, Lu HaiKong momentarily forgot about his army and approached Hua Tuo. He knew that Hua Tuo was a master of his craft and was eager to secure his services.
"I've heard of your legendary medical skills, Master Hua Tuo. I'm honored to meet you here in Beifeng," Lu HaiKong exclaimed.
Hua Tuo, flattered by Lu HaiKong's words, readily agreed to stay in Beifeng for a while. Lu HaiKong, surprised by Hua Tuo's easy agreement, quickly seized the opportunity. He invited Hua Tuo to stay in Beifeng, and to his delight, Hua Tuo readily accepted.
The onlookers, witnessing this unexpected turn of events, were left stunned. They couldn't believe their luck in encountering such a renowned figure.
Lu HaiKong, momentarily forgetting about his army, engaged Hua Tuo in conversation. He wanted to understand Hua Tuo's intentions and ensure his commitment.
Lu HaiKong, with the intention of settling down in this world for a while, immediately took out his precious Qing Nang Shu, not only to provide Hua Tao with a suitable place to stay, but also to offer him a special medicine field for research.
Lu HaiKong's forces possessed a unique system called the 'Medicine Garden'.
This Medicine Garden was an extraordinary system that could accelerate the growth of plants by consuming money, especially when combined with the capabilities of the Shen Nong Department, the effects were truly remarkable. The initial sweet potato seedlings, which were able to be nurtured within a short time, were a testament to the power of this Medicine Garden.
Originally, this system was the lifeblood of the Shen Nong Department, but in order to lure Hua Tao, Lu HaiKong casually offered it as bait.
Lu HaiKong's initial plan was to use the Medicine Garden as bait to keep Hua Tao around, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he brought it out, Hua Tao's eyes lit up, and a smile spread across his face.
"Lord Lu, is it really possible to accelerate the cultivation of medicine with this amazing garden?" Hua Tao asked, hooked by the prospect.
Hearing Hua Tao's interest, Lu HaiKong couldn't resist the opportunity and readily agreed, "I wouldn't deceive a divine doctor, would I? The garden has been tested before, and without considering the cost, it can cultivate a ginseng seedling to the level of a ten-year-old plant in less than a month, and its medicinal power is no less than that of a regular ginseng, perhaps even stronger!"
As Lu HaiKong spoke, Hua Tao's eyes widened further, and he was so excited that he wanted to see the garden right away.
Lu HaiKong, eager to secure this divine doctor, was thrilled that Hua Tao was so interested and readily agreed without much thought. He immediately assigned an acre of the Medicine Garden to Hua Tao and provided a million gold as the funding for cultivation, assuring him that he could freely utilize the entire Shen Nong Department for any of his needs.
After settling Hua Tao and arranging for his subordinates to examine Hua Tao's health, Lu HaiKong turned to leave.
Lu HaiKong was unaware that the seemingly simple task he had accepted would turn out to be incredibly demanding, and he certainly didn't anticipate the astonishing reward for this task.
