Chapter 967: Waste of Treasures

He listened to her ramble on about what difficulties she had encountered in the process of making the incense token and how she had resolved them in the end.

Some medicinal herbs were very particular about the five elements, and the Yin and Yang. One had to figure out the attributes of every medicinal herb, spice, and ores before they could be matched.

The processing of some medicinal herbs also involved feng shui…

She spoke with relish. She had gained new comprehension and learning in incense making.

However, Yin Huaixi could hear the difficulties she faced.

Rubbing the incense token in his hand, his heart couldn’t help but tremble.

After a while, Yu Youyao’s mouth felt a little dry. When she reacted, she realized that she had said a lot of things, and her ears couldn’t help but heat up.

Yin Huaixi handed her a cup of warm water.

Yu Youyao quickly took it and lowered her head to drink some water.

At this moment, Yin Huaixi suddenly asked, “Why do you want to name it the orchid fragrance? Is it because of the incense token that has a fragrance like an orchid?”

It was obvious that he had been listening seriously just now.

Yu Youyao smiled. “The original prescription was called the Rejuvenation Pill, but the incense medicine I made was very different from before, so I changed the name. The main ingredient for the orchid fragrance is a token made of

Dendrobium catenatum. It has a fragrance like orchids, and it’s also purple, so I directly changed its name and called it the orchid fragrance.”

Dendrobium catenatum was precious and rare, and some aristocratic families with deep foundations might not have it.

However, Yu Youyao had five stalks of Dendrobium catenatum.

Back then, when she was treating Song Mingzhao, the Zhenguo Marquis

Residence had given her a lot of rare medicinal herbs, including a stalk of Dendrobium catenatum. At that time, she seemed to have obtained a treasure and even showed it off to her “cousin.” In the end, a few days later, her “cousin” gave her a stalk that looked better.

After her grandmother passed away, she was seriously ill from overwork. Auntie Shen was ordered to bring the Empress Dowager’s reward over to visit her. Among them was a stalk of Dendrobium catenatum.

Previously, the Empress had rewarded her heavily. She also received a stalk of Dendrobium catenatum.

Yin Huaixi also sighed. “Only you can make this orchid fragrance. No one else can.”

Just the nine immortal herbs alone were not something ordinary people could gather.

This was also thanks to the fact that Yu Youyao was good at incense medicine. There were always many expensive spices and medicinal herbs rewarded by the palace, such as Dendrobium catenatum and the snow lotus. Although there were not many of such things in the palace, there were often not many occasions where they were really needed. In order to win people’s hearts, the nobles would occasionally give them to her.

However, not everyone was qualified to reward these expensive medicinal herbs.

Yu Youyao agreed deeply. “That’s right. The prescription also requires an

Amethyst Jade Coral. Previously, the Zhenguo Marquis Residence gave me an Amethyst Jade Coral. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to make the orchid fragrance. ”

The reason why the prescription for extending one’s lifespan had become a legend was that other than the fact that only the few people in this world who were proficient in Daoist medicine could make it, almost all the nine immortal herbs that were needed were in the palace. There was only one piece of

Amethyst Jade Coral. It was put aside by the Zhenguo Marquis Residence. Then, the favor was returned, benefiting her.

Incense medicine was not only made using spices and medicinal herbs. Ores were also used.

At the mention of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, Yin Huaixi frowned slightly. “No wonder the incense token is purple and the color is so pure.” Yu Youyao said, “Each of the nine immortal herbs is a good medicine for life-saving. When the nine herbs are combined, the orchid fragrance made will not have the legendary magical effect, but Uncle Sun has verified that wearing it for a long time indeed has the effect of nourishing the human body’s essence, mind, and Qi to extend one’s life.”

As soon as the incense token was made, it already had jade spirituality. It was completely different from the incense medicine she had made in the past. It was the best incense medicine she had made so far.

She was quite satisfied.

However, Uncle Sun did not think much of it and said bluntly, “You’re wasting a treasure. If you give me any of these nine immortal herbs, I can pull someone back from the gates of hell.”

Yin Huaixi suddenly held it. The hand that he had been thinking about for a long time was wrapped in his palm. Her soft hand was like a ball of cream that melted in his palm, making his heart tremble.

He opened his mouth to say something, but his voice was on the tip of his tongue. Suddenly, he didn’t know what to say.

His gaze was deep as he stared at her beautiful face. His throat felt dry. “It’s been hard on you.”

She had only said it casually, but Yin Huaixi could tell that she had put in a lot of effort into this incense token.

The making of incense tokens was similar to incense pills.

After the spices and medicinal herbs were made, they were blending. After making it into incense mud, it had to be hammered repeatedly until the texture of the incense mud was even more exquisite and strong than dough. Then, they would be made into incense token and placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

After drying, the incense token was not considered done. It had to be placed in a sealed clay jar and buried in the cellar.

After the spices and medicinal herbs were fermented in a sealed environment, be it the fragrance or the effect, they would be evaporated to the extreme.

It was easier said than done.

Every medicinal herb had a unique method of processing. Sometimes, a single medicinal herb required dozens of processes to maximize the medicinal effect.

Some medicinal herbs took a long time to brew. It would take days or even more than ten days to finish.

Moreover, Yu Youyao did not know much about Daoist medicine and feng shui.

She must have asked Auntie Xu and Uncle Sun for a lot of guidance.

She said that she had started preparing the incense token from February, but

he did not believe it. Just the processing of more than 200 medicinal herbs would take two to three months.

“It’s-it’s not too difficult.” Yu Youyao shook her head and quickly changed the topic. “You’re a general. Usually, it’s not suitable for you to wear jade when riding a horse and shooting a bow. The incense token is light and not easily damaged. It’s most suitable to wear it close to your body. It’s good to wear a peace token. Wearing it close to your body can also reassure you.”

In the past, Yin Huaixi would always wear the beautiful jade and stones she had given him. However, ever since he returned to the North, those things had gradually become suppressed. Only when he was free would he take them out to wash, wax, and maintain them. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to wear them, but the generals often used violence. Thus, he was preventing them from being damaged.

Yin Huaixi was a general. If he didn’t wear something to ensure his safety, she would always feel uneasy. She had long planned to make an incense token that could nourish his essence, vitality, and qi for him.

Such spices and medicinal herbs were usually more expensive and ra_re. When she was in Quanzhou, she had been collecting and preparing them.

Yin Huaixi placed the incense token in her tender palm. “Can you help me put it on?”

Yu Youyao nodded slightly. “Okay!’

She stood up and walked behind Yin Huaixi. She wrapped the incense token around his neck. She originally wanted to tie a “gift” knot, but her fingers couldn’t control themselves. Thus, she tied a true love knot.

After tying the knot, she put away the rope. When she felt that the length of the incense token was suitable, she asked him, “Is this okay? If it’s a little longer, it might not be so fitting. It won’t look good if it’s short.”

Yin Huaixi lowered his head, and the incense token landed squarely in the middle of his heart. “This is good..”
