Ikebukuro is a famous commercial district and transportation hub along Tokyo's Yamanote Line, along with Shinjuku and Shibuya. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt is centered around Ikebukuro Station (which is shared by trains and subways, and is very large, with dozens of exits), and is divided into two parts: the West Exit Ward and the East Exit Ward.

Dongkou District is dominated by the entertainment industry, game halls, KTV, department stores, fashion stores, movie theaters, coffee houses, dessert houses, etc., which are very popular with school students and lovers of both sexes, such as "The Headless Horseman's Persona", "The Ghost in Ikebukuro" and other works are all based on the east exit of Ikebukuro, among which Otome Street is a holy place for rotten girls, among which the Tanmei light novels and doujinshi comics produced are widely popular among young women, and even rotten girls are also called Ikebukuro, just like otaku are called Akihabara.

The Xikou District is dominated by cultural industries, with large theaters, hotels, observation decks, aquariums, small museums and schools for exhibitions, etc., which is very stylish, because the positioning is closer to the civilian department, and the flow of people is becoming denser and denser, gradually overpowering Ginza, another old commercial district known for its luxurious atmosphere.

Li Ruhai took the balls and took a while to find Tongrentang, which is located in the East Exit District of Ikebukuro.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Ruhai saw a large color printed acupuncture point map hanging there, he was curious to look at it for a while, and found that in addition to the different names, it was not at all different from what he had learned, he was very surprised, he didn't expect that different planes and cultural species could be so similar, it was really amazing.

He beckoned to the clerk, intending to buy this acupuncture point map and give it to Nanako. The clerk, who was a local, came up and bowed and said hello, asked him what he meant, and said very embarrassed: "Guest, this is an ornament, not for sale." ”

Li Ruhai is not strong, he has taught Nanazi all of this, but it is dispensable, so he said: "I want to buy Chinese medicinal materials." ”

The clerk has a question mark on his head, he is a local employee who is responsible for receiving RB guests, and he has no knowledge of Chinese medicine at all. He led Li Ruhai to the medicine area, and at a glance, Li Ruhai was disappointed, almost all of them were health care medicines, which were of little value to him.

Maruko said, "We don't want these with boxes, call your manager." ”

The clerk said yes and called the manager.

The manager, who is Chinese, spoke not very proficient Japanese, and asked, "Do you two want to buy Chinese medicine?"

Li Ruhai said: "Yes, it is the kind used in traditional Chinese medicine." ”

The manager nodded in understanding and asked, "Is there a recipe?"

Maruko didn't know why, and asked puzzledly, "What?"

The manager was also puzzled: "Aren't you going to grab medicine?

What the hell is Fang Zi? Maruko looked at the manager innocently, saying that he was a child and couldn't understand what you were saying......

The manager looked at Li Ruhai and then at the pills, and saw that these two people didn't look like they were here to make trouble, and said embarrassedly: "How can you catch medicine without a prescription?"

Li Ruhai said: "We want to buy the medicinal materials we need, and we pick ...... by ourselves."

The sales of Chinese herbal medicines in RB are very poor, but the Chinese patent medicine sells well, and the brewed medicinal materials are basically bought by Chinese and overseas Chinese in Japan, the manager scratched his head, and decided not to sell poisonous medicinal materials such as aconitum and ground flower to them, and the rest, these little devils want to buy it back to play, open the door to do business, are they still afraid that people will buy things? It doesn't matter if he buys it back to be steamed or boiled, it doesn't hurt people to eat it.

He led the two of them around to the innermost Chinese medicine pharmacy, got into the counter and asked, "Then this gentleman, what medicine do you need and how much do you grab?"

Li Ruhai glanced at the hundreds of drawers containing medicinal herbs and said, "Take them all and let me taste them." ”

The manager was directly blindfolded, and he stammered: "Sir, traditional Chinese medicine needs to be strictly proportioned, and then it can be taken only after it is made by boiling and other methods...... These cannot be eaten raw, and even if some can be eaten raw, they have no effect and may be harmful. ”

"I know, but I don't know what I'm going to buy until I taste it. ”

The manager didn't dare to sell it to him, it was a joke, doing business in a foreign country, or imported drugs, ten times more careful was too little, he suspected that this teenager was here to harm them.

Li Ruhai didn't talk nonsense, put a bag of money directly on the counter, and said seriously: "I really want to buy it, I understand the medicinal properties, I just don't know the name, so I want to taste it." ”

The manager looked at him with great suspicion, even an old Chinese medicine doctor who had been in the clinic for many years did not dare to say that he could know the medicinal properties of all the medicinal materials by tasting and arguing, let alone this exotic teenager.

But Li Ruhai stood there, his eyes were crystal and his face was moist, his breath was like an abyss, and he had an extraordinary momentum, the manager hesitated, turned around and took a few pieces of medicinal herbs for him.

Li Ruhai gently picked it up, put it in his mouth and smacked it gently, spit it out, and asked, "What is this?"

"Licorice. "Licorice is warm, and the manager also wants to use this to test whether Li Ruhai is bragging, he just wants to make trouble, and it is impossible to eat this thing and fall to the ground screaming and start asking for money.

Li Ruhai said: "It turns out that your name is licorice, this medicine is warm, and it can be used to reconcile various medicines, decoction to replenish qi, and raw food to remove fire." He smacked his lips again and praised: "The medicinal herbs are well prepared, and they are rare...... Bring me a glass of water. ”

The manager was very happy to hear Li Ruhai's praise, and while bringing him mineral water, he said, "We are a century-old store!"

The ball picked up a piece of licorice with his feet on the side, looked left and right, and saw that the medicinal herbs in his hand were withered yellow, the size of a fingernail, like a cross-section of a thin branch, and he wondered: "Where is it like grass?" After speaking, he threw it into his mouth and chewed it, "Hmm...... Doesn't sweet mean sweet? Deceiving people is obviously bitter...... Can you still replenish qi?"

Li Ruhai doesn't care about her, licorice doesn't hurt people when eaten, it doesn't matter if she loses the fire, she doesn't have a moment of quiet, jumping up and down.

When Li Ruhai rinsed his mouth, the manager took another one with great interest, and Li Ruhai picked it up and tasted it lightly: "It's also mild, take it internally to nourish the blood and nourish the heart, and apply it externally to dissolve stasis muscles, good things, you can use it - what are you calling this, give me two catties, and licorice too!"

"It's angelica. The manager was very happy and asked while packing the medicine: "This gentleman, who did you learn from?"

Li Ruhai instructed him to take the medicine again, and replied casually: "My master." ”

Although the manager wondered how Master Li Ruhai taught him - only teaching the nature of medicine and not the name of medicine - he was still very happy to meet a like-minded person in a foreign country, and he let down most of his guard, took some medicinal materials and put them on the counter for him to use.

"What is this called? It can be used to regulate the hand sun and small intestine meridians, hand yang ming large intestine meridians, and take it internally to stop diarrhea and clear heat...... I don't need much of this, so let's take a little bit. ”

"This is Huang Lian. ”

When he tasted the balls, he exclaimed, "Bah, bah, it's bitter, is this what people eat?"

No one paid attention to her.

"What's your name with this? No, you don't need to taste this, I used to use it before. ”

"This is ginseng slices, we have old ginseng in our store, do you want to take a look?"

"Good...... Why is it so small?"

"It's already big......"

"That's it, I'll do it. ”

"Ah, I'll wrap it up for you right away...... the manager was excited, the old ginseng is not cheap, he likes customers like Li Ruhai the most, he doesn't even ask the price, and directly wraps Yuan'er.

……

After spending most of the night, Li Ruhai pulled the pharmacy manager, tasted or recognized the drugs in the store, selected dozens of useful ones, and let the pharmacy guys take money from the bag to settle the accounts, and asked the pharmacy manager: "Are there any other Chinese medicine stores in Tokyo?"

The Chinese herbal medicine industry can't compete with each other in RB at all, and the pharmacy manager is happy tonight, and he is even more willing to sell personal favors, and said happily: "There are a few more in several Chinese gathering areas, Koreans also like traditional Chinese medicine, and there are also a few Chinese medicine stores, in the ......" He told Li Ruhai the address in detail.

Li Ruhai took good medicinal materials, pulled on the pills, and went to various Chinese medicine stores in Tokyo all night, regardless of whether people were closed or not, he directly called the door to buy medicine, and no one's store covered his face, broke into the store to taste the west, and found the medicine he wanted, packed it himself, threw down the money and left.

In the middle of the night, he finally put together the medicinal materials he wanted, not to mention that he and the pills were full of medicine bags, Li Ruhai also dragged a cart of small grinding plates, medicine grinders, frying pans and other things.

When he rushed back to the apartment, Maruko was already sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, but seeing that Li Ruhai was busy grinding medicine, he still tried to keep his eyes open, drive away the sleeping demon, and try his best to help, but after all, he was a child, and after holding on for a long time, he fell asleep on the tatami mat.

Although the medicinal materials are concocted, some of them need to be baked to improve the medicinal properties to be used in medicine, and Li Ruhai is also lazy to raise the fire, so he uses his spiritual power and wants to heat it manually.

He first probed the spiritual power into the medicinal materials, intending to start from the inside, but under the spiritual power, he suddenly felt very novel, after the spiritual power entered the medicinal materials, the medicinal materials were faintly connected to his mind, and there was a special breath in it that echoed with the spiritual power.

He gave up his intention to warm up, and directly began to inject spiritual power into the medicinal materials, which were very "happy", and could almost be regarded as greedily absorbing the spiritual power he gave.

After a while, Li Ruhai withdrew his spiritual power, carefully looked at the medicinal materials in his hand, and saw that the originally ordinary medicinal materials had a layer of misty aura, Li Ruhai felt it for a moment, and found that this medicinal material began to emit a strange essence outward.

He stuffed the medicinal herbs into his mouth, tasted them carefully, and found that the medicinal properties were dozens of times more active, and the medicinal properties were so strong that they had never been seen before.

His spiritual power is limited, and he doesn't dare to use it indiscriminately on weekdays. The spiritual power depends on the remaining savings in the Jin Dan, and it can only be made up by the Jin Dan slowly absorbing the internal force by itself, but now don't look at him beating ordinary people in this world, but the internal force is still far from the peak of the previous life, and the internal force provided to the Jin Dan is really limited.

The last time he made the knife, he found that after a large amount of spiritual power was output, the subtle cracks on the golden pill showed signs of deepening - he was afraid that the golden pill would be broken if he used too much, and he also saved the use of warm and acupuncture points on weekdays, and at most set a fire when it was critical, where he dared to do this and that with spiritual power, and used spiritual power to explore things, this was the first time he did it.

Spiritual power can improve the medicinal properties of medicinal materials, and this accidental discovery can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

Li Ruhai weighed for a moment, thinking that at most, he would stop using spiritual power to warm and nourish the acupoints, because of the obsession in Aihara Xiuzhong, the progress was originally limited, and there was no response to the acupoints for more than a month, but now stop, it is good to return the favor of Ogata Apricot first.

However, the province still has to be saved, and he did not inject spiritual power into the medicinal materials, but after preparing Shengjisan, he used his spiritual power to activate the medicine well, and it was just as effective - Shengjisan also began to glow.

He casually swiped on his arm to open a long opening, and after a moment of bleeding, he scattered the raw muscles, only to feel that the wound was cool, and countless hot currents rushed towards the wound, not only the pain disappeared, but the heat was very comfortable.

After four or five minutes, he reached out and wiped the clotted blood from the wound, leaving only a faint scar.
