As the saying goes, gold has a price, and medicine has no price.

Medicine refers to both the knowledge and skills possessed by doctors, and the commodity value of medicinal materials as material materials.

In particular, it is not surprising that some rare but life-sustaining medicinal materials are worth more than gold.

But Guan Lang didn't want to refine any panacea for the flesh and bones of the living dead today, but just bought some common Chinese medicinal materials, so he could go to the Chinese medicine store in this city.

However, if you want to buy authentic and high-quality medicinal materials, it is best to go to some time-honored brands or large chain brands.

Orange is orange born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei, and the leaves are similar, but the taste is different. So what's the difference? Liu Xiang's argument on the water and soil of orange is not only applicable to fruits, but also very suitable for Chinese medicinal materials.

The same species of medicinal herbs are grown in different regional soils, and there are often significant surprises in quality.

Guan Lang selected on the rating website, and finally determined the next time-honored brand with good reviews.

Ten minutes by car, Guan Lang looked at the magnificent plaque of Shourentang in front of him with some surprise.

He originally imagined that the time-honored Chinese medicine store should be a quiet and secluded small building in the deep alley, but although the Chinese medicine hall in front of him has a deliberately antique design, he can still feel the brand new environment of the store.

Get out of the car and walk into the store.

A fresh and mellow aroma of herbs filled the room, the wood-colored displays, and the quiet lights hit the mahogany floor, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Or it was an illusion, or Guan Lang was more sensitive to his body senses, and when he stepped into the store, he felt an indescribable feeling of comfort coming from his body.

There was an old pharmacist in Shourentang, and there were a few young people who helped to review prescriptions and catch medicines, probably medical students who did odd jobs.

"Sand kernels, bellflower, white lentils, white poria cocos, ginseng, boiled licorice......"

After taking Guan Lang's prescription and finding out that it was a tonic prescription, he didn't ask too much, and cleanly asked Jizi to weigh and subcontract for him.

I brought up the medicinal herbs I had bought, and then went to the vegetable market to buy the ingredients before returning home.

I flipped through the medical books, and soon the memories of the previous reading quickly came back to my mind.

TCM is an empirical medicine, and learning the available TCM books is a means to quickly improve knowledge and skills.

Because those works of traditional Chinese medicine are also the knowledge summarized by the predecessors through a large number of medical records.

The D-Class's mental attributes greatly enhanced his memory, so he was able to cramm through a large amount of basic knowledge.

However, just reading books has its upper limits.

Guan Lang's current TCM skills have only reached level 2 (410).

It's still just a good stage among the amateurs, and it's still some way from the 3rd level of the professional level.

It is also understandable that if such a complex skill-based knowledge as medicine can be solved through paper talks, medical talents will not be so scarce.

"Ding Dong, a retrievable side quest has been detected, the path of alchemy. Do you want to pick it up?"

Just when Guan Lang was preparing to process the medicinal herbs, a long-lost voice came from his mind.

He hadn't received a side quest for a while, and studying Chinese medicine was one of his current plans, so of course he wouldn't miss it at this time.

"Path of Alchemy Quest Details: Raise the TCM skill to level 3. ”

It's not very difficult, and there is no time limit for completing the mission, so it's a very conscientious side quest.

After reading the task, Guan Lang closed the system task panel, and did not rush to decoct the medicine to understand the medicinal properties, but grabbed the Chinese medicinal materials next to him, pinched them into small pieces, and took them into his mouth one by one and chewed them gently.

This is also his unique advantage, which can accurately grasp the effect of medicinal materials on the human body through his unparalleled perception of the body.

The understanding gained through the analysis of the efficacy of the drug through personal experience one by one is far from being comparable to a few lines of efficacy text in a book.

A small piece of white poria was crushed in Guan Lang's chewing, and the extremely subtle bitter taste spread in his mouth.

The liquid mixed with saliva flows down the throat and into the digestive system.

Guan Lang closed his eyes, and his mind seemed to sink into his body.

Under the high concentration of the mind, the sight of the internal organs became clearer, as if the effect of the legendary internal vision was achieved.

White Poria is a medicinal herb with peaceful medicinal properties, so in Guan Lang's perception, after the liquid medicine enters, there is almost no change in the body.

But in the end, he still felt a slight throbbing, and there was an imperceptible peristaltic movement in some areas of the spleen and stomach, giving off a faint warmth.

Wisps of ethereal light white gas rose in the spleen.

The white qi here is not an ordinary mist in reality, but an invisible energy similar to the internal qi, which he can only capture in an extremely concentrated state of mental power.

In the following drug testing process, this kind of breath continued to appear frequently.

The number and degree of occurrence varies, and the parts of the organs that emerge also vary.

But there is a similar thing, that is, it is often born in the organs where the medicinal herbs play a major role.

It can be inferred that the special energy produced by medicinal materials acting on human organs is neither stored in medicinal materials nor contained in the human body.

If you insist on distinguishing this kind of energy in a broad category, it can be roughly divided into white and black, black and white are not colors, but the perception it brings to spiritual power.

A mild yang energy, a cold yin energy.

And the two are not completely contradictory, but coexist with each other.

For a morning, Guan Lang was in the process of non-stop trying, sometimes chewing dry, sometimes boiling into medicinal juice to take, and also crushing into medicinal puree for external application.

With the review of medical books, some knowledge that was not easy to understand gradually came together.

In this kind of research and pondering, his ability to mix and match different medicinal materials and harmonize between pharmacology has been greatly enhanced.

The results are most intuitively reflected on the skills panel.

TCM Level 2 (810).

Shengsheng increased his proficiency by four points.

The learning-feedback visualization mechanism also made Guan Lang somewhat immersed in practice, until the set alarm bell rang.

He just woke up from his tireless state.

Swallowing his saliva, an extremely bitter taste echoed in his mouth.

Thanks to the metamorphosis ability to digest and transform, the herbs decompose rapidly in the body and do not leave toxic deposits, but the mixed taste in the mouth does not easily dissipate.

After brushing my teeth, the bitterness was replaced by the minty smell of the toothpaste.

Guan Lang walked out of the bathroom, looked at Qianqiu playing with hairballs in the corner of the living room, and shook his head.

This cat is a little snobbish, before cooking the medicine, I thought he was going to cook, stuck to his side and refused to leave, very intimate little padded jacket.

But after the smell of medicine spread, he instantly ran away, lest he avoid it.

The cat is warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold.
