Chapter 22: Ginseng Runs Away
"So the spiritual sense of ginseng is related to the spiritual energy of the earth?" Su Lan plucked the root of a ginseng, and felt it carefully, and sure enough, the spiritual energy of the earth seeped into her hand.
"All the creations of heaven and earth have their own uniqueness, the roots of ginseng absorb the essence in the ground, accumulate over time, and form a unique form, this form becomes extremely sensitive due to long-term contact with the soil, once it loses its soil nourishment, it will soon lose its medicinal value. ”
While explaining, Li Kong pointed to the pottery bowl on the wooden table in his courtyard. "Stewed it. ”
"It's all stewed?" Su Lan was a little surprised, she didn't know where Li Kong's knowledge came from, but she knew that the medicinal value of ginseng was not only that, ginseng was also known as the Soul Rejuvenation Grass, which could save people's lives at critical moments.
If it was all stewed at once, would it be a little too wasteful, and even if it wasn't wasted, how could the two of them eat such a large amount of ginseng.
"We only drink ginseng soup, and the residue is used to dry it and then knead it into a medicinal pill, although the medicinal effect is mostly gone, but it still has its special effect. Li Kong didn't give Su Lan much time to think, and at this time he was already looking for something to set up a fire in the house.
Seeing that Li Kong was confident, Su Lan was embarrassed to say anything even if she wanted to say something, first, for fear of hurting Li Kong's self-esteem, and second, for fear that she would mislead Li Kong.
Since Li Kong's master taught him like this, presumably Nanyang Zhenren has his reasoning.
The two of them set up a fire to stew ginseng, but after half an hour, they failed to stew the ginseng, and they were puzzled, and began to look for the reason, and found that although ordinary fire could boil the water in the pot, it could not hurt the ginseng in the slightest.
"What should I do?" Su Lan was a little depressed.
"Looks like I'm underestimating it. Looking at the ginseng tumbling up and down in the boiling water, Li Kong's face was slightly red, Nanyang Zhenren did say about the process of ginseng refining, but he didn't mention what kind of fire was used to cook the thousand-year-old ginseng.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, but Li Kong was not a stupid person, since ordinary fire could not cook it, he could only rely on thunder fire.
"Do you want to cast the Heavenly Finger?" Seeing Li Kong put on a posture like a god of war, Su Lan immediately realized what he wanted to do.
"No, I'm going to use the thunder fire to stew, but the aura in my body is not enough to support half of the incense, and I need your help. Li Kong told the truth, and he didn't feel inappropriate.
"How can I help you!"
Taking advantage of the gap between lifting the lid of the pot, Su Lan plucked a few roots from the ginseng. "You take him in your mouth, maybe you can replenish the aura. ”
Li Kong shook his head, "You have all been deceived by the world, the longer the ginseng, the stronger its aura content, but it cannot absorb the refinement of ginseng with ordinary methods, it must be stewed, raw food is a waste, if a weak person suddenly devours it, it will also be eaten by the spiritual power of ginseng." ”
"You're saying that ginseng is the best way to make soup?"
"You can say that, but there are exceptions. If a person is frightened, lost his soul, and is unconscious, he can use a piece of ginseng in his mouth to summon his soul in three hours. However, ordinary ginseng does not have this medicinal power, at least it must be the essence of ginseng that is more than 100 years old. ”
Thunder fire appeared in the palm of Li Kong's hand, not with dry leaves and hay, but directly wrapped the casserole, and soon, Li Kong's head was sweating profusely, and his aura was weak.
Su Lan invoked the aura and poured it into Li Kong's body, because Su Lan is a woman, the aura in the woman's body is a little different from the masculinity of a man, and the two air currents collide wantonly in his dantian, but fortunately, Li Kong's refining and exhaling mantra is different from others, under this harmony, since it is hard to fuse with the ontological aura.
Boom.
Just when the boiling water in the pot was boiling violently, the surface of the ginseng body suddenly glowed brightly, and it rushed out of the boiler and fled.
