It can dispel evil spirits and strengthen the body, and can be used for blood-heat, yin deficiency with heat, yin-blood deficiency, dryness of fluid and intestinal dryness, and is most suitable for those injured by excessive heat and yin."

Lin Yueying put down the book and praised: "As expected of Xia Xia, I can almost remember a book in three or four days. It won't be a big problem to go to the medical clinic for the assessment tomorrow."

Shen Xia shook her head. She actually didn't have much confidence in herself. She just swallowed the dates in three or four days. Chinese medicine was too profound. At present, she only used the methods of relieving symptoms, purging fire, purging, warming, dispersing dampness, regulating qi, digesting, and stopping bleeding. Memorizing the basic medicinal materials by rote may not be a problem in tomorrow's assessment, but I don't know how it will work in practice.

In the past few days, Shen Xia came to the dining room to eat three meals a day with Lin Yueying. After the meal, she went back to the living room to read. The only entertainment was walking around Tiansheng Temple with Lin Yueying in the evening.

During this period, Lin Yueying also gave Shen Xia two peace talismans. Shen Xia also secretly went to the main hall to ask for 7 peace talismans. Although she asked for 50 coppers each, compared to others who asked for one or two peace talismans, Man, Shen Xia seemed to have come to Tiansheng Temple to purchase goods, and by chance, she was seen by Lin You (Lin You appeared as a young monk in the previous article). Shen Xia was worried for a while, afraid that Lin You would go to Lin Yue. Report to Ying there. After collecting 10 peace charms, Shen Xia clicked to submit the task, but the system never responded. This happened to Shen Xia in her first task, so she didn't panic this time.

After the two had breakfast together, Shen Xia returned the book to Lin Yueying. Lin Yueying turned around and took out a set of clothes from the closet and handed it to Shen Xia: "Xia Xia, I really don't have anything I can do with, so I asked the master who went down the mountain to buy me a set of clothes, and also some common things. I hope Xia Xia will forgive me and I will make up for you if I encounter any good ones in the future."

Shen Xia took it and felt a little heavy. Then she saw that it was not just clothes, but also hair bundles, shoes, palace ribbons, necklaces, and sachets. The fabrics were all made of silk, and the jade on the palace ribbons and necklaces were also made of silk. Mild color. Shen Xia smiled bitterly: "Sister, I just go to work in the medical clinic. People who don't know better think that I am going to take over the position of the shopkeeper. And I don't know if I can pass."

Lin Yueying tapped Shen Xia's forehead: "You know how to entertain me with such words. I have wanted to give it to you for a long time. However, the master who purchased it just came down from the mountain yesterday. I have no other intention. I just hope that Xia Xia is pretty."

Shen Xia was always caught off guard by the sincerity Lin Yueying revealed from time to time. In comparison, she seemed like a shameless person, using Lin Yueying's sincerity over and over again to achieve her own goals. Shen Xia still accepted the set of clothes and said to Lin Yueying with a smile: "Then when I get rich in the future, I will dress up like a butterfly and surround my sister every day. Then my sister will not find me annoying."

The two chatted for a while, and then someone came to invite Lin Yueying. After Lin Yueying left, it was not convenient for Shen Xia to stay in the closet all the time, so she finished the remaining breakfast on the table and left.

When passing by Wofeng Bridge, a voice came from behind Shen Xia, "Shen Xinshi, please stay." Shen Xia turned around and saw that it was Lin You. She suddenly felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy. Could Lin You have come to attack the enemy? Bar? Tiansheng Temple does not stipulate how many peace charms can be prayed for at one time.

Lin You walked from the corridor pavilion to the Wofeng Bridge. He raised his head and looked at Shen Xia, and asked a little awkwardly: "Shen Xinshi, I saw you asking for a lot of peace charms that day. I think you encountered something difficult. This is... I shouldn’t ask you, this is Beidou Xingjun’s evil evil talisman, I hope everything goes well for you.”

Shen Xia was stunned, thinking that Lin Youhui had made a mistake, but this did not prevent her from accepting the evil-breaking talisman. "Thank you very much," Shen Xia bowed to Lin Youzuo, "I also wish Immortal Lin everything goes well." Shen Xia accepted it happily. After placing the Evil-Breaking Talisman, Lin You breathed a sigh of relief. Tiansheng Temple has rules. Practitioners are not allowed to pry into other people's privacy. However, Lin You feels that although Shen Xia is not from Tiansheng Temple, these days are related to The abbot went in and out together. Seeing the abbot's face become more radiant, Lin You felt that Shen Xia was a good person. If something happened to Shen Xia, the abbot would be very sad.

After having breakfast with Lin Yueying early the next morning, Lin Yueying sent Shen Xia to the entrance of Tiansheng Temple, and handed a snack bag to Shen Xia: "Xia Xia, you get hungry easily, I'll keep it for you on the way. Eat." Shen Xia felt that Lin Yueying's care for her was a bit too much. She just went down the mountain to take the job assessment, and the round trip only took half a day, so she also specially prepared snacks. But Shen Xia did not reject Lin Yueying's kindness. She reached out to take it and put the food bag into her backpack.

"Sister, no matter what the outcome is, I will definitely go back to Tiansheng Temple to tell you today."

Shen Xia said no more, bowed to Lin Yueying and walked down the mountain. It's not time to open the temple gate yet, so there are only a few pilgrims on the mountain. Lin Yueying stood at the temple gate until Shen Xia's back completely disappeared in the morning mist before turning back to the main hall, waiting for the prison and the All disciples come together to open the temple door.

When Shen Xia went up and down the mountain several times before, she discovered that there were oxcarts at the foot of the mountain that could travel to and from various urban areas. However, she was reluctant to spend money the previous few times. Today she specially wore the new clothes Lin Yueying bought for her. Shen Xia didn't want to get her clothes dirty. In addition, I really needed to recuperate my energy for the assessment later, so I paid 10 copper coins and got on the oxcart heading to Xicheng District.

He Yongxing (that is, shopkeeper He) opened the door of Deji Hall and saw Shen Xia. At this moment, the sky was not completely bright, and there were very few pedestrians on the street. He Yongxing had not seen Shen Xia for a few days, but He Yongxing felt that Shen Xia had gained some weight and finally looked like a child.

"Shopkeeper He." Shen Xia bowed to He Yongxing - this was the etiquette she learned in Tiansheng Temple. Last time she accidentally saw the scholars also bowing to each other.

He Yongxing nodded. Not to mention anything else, He Yongxing was very satisfied with Shen Xia's attitude. He Yongxing brought Shen Xia to Deji Hall and arranged for Shen Xia to sit down in the shop. He went to prepare Shen Xia's assessment content, and Shen Xia was able to see the whole picture of Deji Hall.

Inside the store, there is a row of large counters dividing the store hall into two parts, the inner and outer parts. On the outside is the place where doctors of traditional Chinese medicine set up a desk to diagnose diseases, which is also known as "Mr. Sitting in the Hall". There are two herringbone counters symmetrically placed on both sides of the store, with an aisle in the middle. There is a door on both sides of the corridor leading to the inner room. There is a five-color glass in the middle of the corridor and a screen in the middle. A table is placed in front of the screen, surrounded by chairs on both sides. Around the symmetrical herringbone counter, there are round stone stools. There is a accounting table in the middle of the counter, and herringbone shelves are installed against the wall.

Not long after, He Yongxing came out. He placed five square pieces of straw paper on the table, with a small handful of Chinese medicine placed on each piece of paper. Then he placed a piece of paper and a brush in front of Shen Xia. After doing this, He Yongxing sat down above: "Little girl, please introduce yourself first."

Shen Xia stood up, bowed again respectfully, and then said: "Shopkeeper He, my name is Shen Xia. I am originally from Changliu Village. My parents died in my early years. I followed the caravan all the way north to seek opportunities because I was unaccompanied. I saw You are recruiting workers, so I have the courage to give it a try. When I was young, my father taught me how to learn medical books. Later, I also went to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs for sale, so I also know some basic medicinal herbs. I also implore Shopkeeper He to give me a chance."

After saying that, he handed his Lu Yin to shopkeeper He for verification. After He Yongxing verified Shen Xia's basic information on Lu Yin, he returned the Lu Yin to Shen Xia and said, "Well. Shen Xia, there is a traditional Chinese medicine that uses flowers blindly. The name of the medicinal herb is Xialan, which has the functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, dispelling rheumatism, reducing inflammation and hemostasis, and improving eyesight. There are five herbs in front of you. Please write down the name of each herb from left to right. If you don’t know how, use italics. Just use a bar instead."

Shen Xia nodded and walked forward to look at the five herbs. Four of the herbs were dried and sliced, while the remaining ones were not dried. Undried herbs were easy to identify. Shen Xia identified them based on the branches, leaves and rhizomes of the herbs. This is Bupleurum.

Bupleurum has a long conical shape, with enlarged roots, multiple stem bases or short fibrous leaf bases remaining at the top, and branches at the bottom. The surface is dark brown or light brown, with longitudinal wrinkles, root marks and lenticels. The bark is light brown and the wood is yellowish white.

The remaining four herbs were carefully identified by Shen Xia. Based on the experience of the original world and the descriptions in medical books, she determined that the four herbs were Cimicifuga, Angelica dahurica, Guizhi, and Fangfeng.

Cimicifuga is an irregular long block, multi-branched and nodular. The surface is dark brown or tan, rough and uneven, with hard fine fibrous roots remaining. There are several round hollow stem base marks on it, and the inner wall of the hole shows reticular grooves; the bottom is uneven and has fibrous root marks.

The section of Angelica dahurica is white or off-white, powdery, the cambium ring is brown, nearly square or nearly round, and there are many brown oil spots scattered on the skin.

Guizhi slices are thicker, the bark is reddish-brown, the wood is yellow-white to light yellow-brown, and the pith is slightly square. It has a special aroma, sweet and slightly pungent taste, with a strong skin flavor.

Pueraria lobata appears as irregular thick slices, thick filaments or small squares. The cut surface is light yellowish brown to brownish yellow. Tough and fibrous. The smell is slight and the taste is slightly sweet.

After having the answer in her mind, Shen Xia did not hesitate and wrote the answers on the paper one by one, and then handed it to He Yongxing. He Yongxing was very satisfied after reading it. Firstly, he was satisfied with Shen Xia's ability to recognize all the medicinal materials in a short time. Secondly, he was satisfied with Shen Xia's calligraphy. Shen Xia's calligraphy is very beautiful, with delicate bones, strong strength, freshness and elegance, which is very eye-catching. He Yongxing was even more convinced that Shen Xia had fallen into this state of poverty. A daughter raised in an ordinary family would not be able to write such grand words.

He Yongxing nodded, smiled and said to Shen Xia: "Shen Xia, you passed the first level. Next, I want you to put Cimicifuga, Angelica dahurica, Guizhi, and Fangfeng into the medicine cabinet."
