Chapter 34 The Search for Medicinal Herbs

It was sunny and it was an excellent weather.

Zhou Chen walked slowly on the street, but he kept muttering a series of names of medicinal herbs.

Some of the names of these medicinal materials are extremely common, such as thousand-year-old life, wolfberry and the like, but some of them are very obscure, even so rare that even those old Chinese medicine doctors don't know about it.

Just now, Zhou Chen visited several large-scale Chinese medicine pharmacies in Jinhai City one after another, but to his disappointment, these pharmacies did not contain some of the key medicinal materials he needed.

In fact, the medicinal materials he was looking for were not too precious medicinal materials at all, but unfortunately, now that traditional Chinese medicine is in decline, even the Chinese medicine market has declined a lot, so Zhou Chen couldn't find the medicinal materials he was looking for.

Of course, there is another reason why these pharmacies do not have these medicinal materials, and that is that the earth's environment is getting worse and worse, and many drugs that need to be grown in the wild are now almost completely extinct.

Zhou Chen was still in high spirits when he came out today, but now he is quite depressed.

Since fusing the memories of the ancestors of the Zhou family and having the Qingsheng Art Dao, Zhou Chen has never doubted his future.

But now, he was starting to worry.

As long as the medical skills are more and more exquisite, the people who practice this practice will be stronger, and the study of medical skills in addition to the study of various diseases, the most important thing is to study various drugs, the reasonable combination of drugs and drugs, which is actually one of the great questions of Chinese medicine.

And now, Zhou Chen just wanted to find some medicinal materials that were not too precious, so if he wanted to find those very rare medicines described in the Qingsheng Medical Dao in the future, wouldn't he be even more blind.

You must know that there are more than 10 million medicines recorded in the Qing Sheng's medical path, and the precious medicinal materials are even more unknown, when the ancestors of the Zhou family practiced medical skills, they were wandering all year round, on the one hand, they could save people and do good deeds, accumulate merits, and on the other hand, they were also to search for precious medicinal materials in the world.

The vast earth, I don't know how many precious medicinal materials there are, but one thing is certain, that is, the more precious these medicinal materials, the rarer they are, the ancestors of the Zhou family traveled all over the world and collected countless precious medicinal materials, but it is far from reaching the point of collecting all the precious medicinal materials described in the Qingsheng Medical Dao.

Without these medicinal materials, Zhou Chen's cultivation speed would definitely be greatly affected, which was absolutely unacceptable to Zhou Chen.

At this time, even Zhou Chen himself didn't notice that since he fused the soul memories of the ancestors, his thinking and thoughts had changed greatly.

If it is replaced by the previous Zhou Chen, he is afraid that he will not care about these so-called Qingsheng medical Dao and other things at all, for any modern person, power and money are probably the most important, and the current Zhou Chen is different, after fusing the soul memory of the ancestors, Zhou Chen's personality has been seriously affected by the ancestors of the Zhou family, which makes him look at things with a completely different attitude than before.

Since fusing the memories of his ancestors, Zhou Chen's personality has become much more stable and mature, that is, in rare cases, he will re-reveal his immature and jumping character.

As for cultivation, of course, Zhou Chen has also been affected by the memory of the ancestors, and he attaches great importance to it, although it is not as important as the ancestors of the Zhou family towards cultivation, but for Zhou Chen, the most important thing for him now is indeed cultivation.

Therefore, Zhou Chen has quite a headache about the scarcity of medicinal materials at the moment.

But fortunately, he still has a little advantage now, that is, the family has money, as the so-called wealth can be channeled, with money, Zhou Chen can spend a large amount of money to buy these rare medicinal materials all over the world, in this way, maybe he will get these rare medicinal materials faster than the ancestors of the Zhou family.

"Well, but the most important thing right now is to get the herbs I desperately need." Zhou Chen muttered a few more times in his mouth.

To cultivate the Qing Sheng Medical Dao, exercising medical skills is one thing, and physical practice is another aspect, and the most important thing for this physical practice is to temper the flesh, Zhou Chen has been taking a medicinal bath recently, and the strong medicinal bath has made his physique stronger in a stepwise manner, but this is far from enough, only by washing the body to the innate level, Zhou Chen can be regarded as reaching the entry point of cultivating the Qing Holy Medical Dao Treasure Book.

To wash the body to the innate level, Zhou Chen needs to go through at least three stages of medicinal baths, and Zhou Chen has not even broken through the first stage yet.

Now he came out to search for medicine, because he felt the improvement and change of his physique, so he wanted to slightly enhance the medicinal properties of the medicinal bath.

"Hey, it smells like medicine." Suddenly, Zhou Chen stopped suddenly, and he actually smelled a strong smell of medicine in his nose.

Turning his head to look around, Zhou Chen didn't notice anything abnormal, as if this medicinal smell had no effect on the people around him.

But this is normal, Zhou Chen is extremely sensitive to drugs now, in this kind of busy market, he can also clearly smell the strong smell of medicine, but this strong smell is only for Zhou Chen, for others, this smell of medicine is just a faint taste, of course no one cares.

Zhou Chen walked back and forth a few steps before he almost judged the source of this medicinal smell.

Turned around and walked into a small door on the side, inside the small door was a narrow corridor, Zhou Chen slowly climbed up the corridor, and went up seven floors in a row, Zhou Chen stopped, on this floor, Zhou Chen felt that the smell of medicine had been extremely strong.

Following this smell, Zhou Chen found the source of this medicinal smell, which came from a very ordinary door.

Knock knock knock......

Zhou Chen knocked on the door gently.

In fact, he came here because it was a whim, and in modern society, there are still people who can make Chinese medicine at home, which made Zhou Chen quite surprised.

"Who?" A slightly hoarse voice came from inside the door, and then, the door creaked open, and a young man who looked like he was only in his twenties appeared, looking at Zhou Chen with a somewhat confused expression, with a look of I don't know you on his face.

"Hello, I'm ......" At this time, Zhou Chen suddenly realized how reckless he was to come uninvited, and after being stunned for a second, he had an idea: "I'm a doctor, I heard that there is a patient here, so I came to take a look." ”

This is definitely a very clumsy excuse, there is a doctor who will take the initiative to come to the door to treat people, and Zhou Chen only smelled the smell of medicine here, so he guessed that there might be a patient in this house, so he said nonsense like this.

But his nonsense obviously happened to coincide with a coincidence.

"You were introduced by Dr. Liu, I'm sorry, please come in, please come in." The young man's face showed a sudden expression, and he began to greet Zhou Chen enthusiastically.

Zhou Chen glanced up and down at the young man, and then stepped in.

That glance just now had made Zhou Chen see a lot of things from this young man, for example, he had already seen that this young man was a practitioner, and he should have practiced martial arts since he was a child, his limbs were thick, he looked very powerful, and there were many small scars on the skin that leaked out, and these scars were also left by his usual practice.

A person who likes to practice kung fu, it seems to be normal to be slightly or seriously injured, and Zhou Chen knows that there seem to be many practitioners who are very conservative, if they are injured, they are more inclined to use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the injury, after all, Western medicine requires surgery to treat most injuries, and that kind of flesh-and-blood surgery for these practitioners, in addition to the bad meaning, is also very hurtful, a major operation to sit down, a clever kung fu master may be abolished.

Therefore, after seeing that this young man was a practitioner, Zhou Chen was a little confident about why there was a medicinal smell here.

Compared to the outside, the smell of medicine in the house is stronger.

This is a three-bedroom apartment that is not too big, and there are many things in the living room, as if there is a pile of garbage, but after glancing at this pile of garbage, Zhou Chen's eyes widened and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Damn, no." After a long time, Zhou Chen scolded in shock.

And the reason why he was so surprised was because from the pile of garbage in front of him, Zhou Chen actually saw several very precious medicinal materials one after another, and there were even two of these medicinal materials that he wanted to find today but didn't find.

What is the situation of an inconspicuous house with so many medicines piled up in it?

Even if Zhou Chen is calm, now he is a little unclear about the situation, you know, now just these drugs that Zhou Chen saw are already worth a lot of money, but these precious medicinal materials are piled up in the living room like garbage, Zhou Chen believes that there must be more precious medicinal materials in other places in this room.

"What is the origin of this family, could it be that it is a seller of medicinal herbs." Zhou Chen thought secretly in his heart.

"Ahem......" Just as Zhou Chen was distracted, a low coughing sound suddenly came from a bedroom next to him.

Hearing this coughing sound, Zhou Chen's eyes lit up suddenly.

"The voice is low and weak, it is obviously an old injury, and this injury is not ordinary, in addition to injuring the internal organs, the main thing should be to close the muscles and veins of the human body, resulting in poor breath in the human body, so that all year round, even a normal person may not be able to bear it, but listening to the coughing sound, the spirit of this person in it should be quite good, obviously seriously injured, almost dying, but the spirit is very good, this can only show that this person's previous physique was very strong, should also be a perennial martial arts person." Zhou Chen muttered in a low voice.

Hearing this cough, Zhou Chen immediately determined that many of the medicinal materials here were probably collected for the treatment of the person inside, and as for why the people who were able to collect so many precious medicinal materials lived in such an inconspicuous place, it was not for Zhou Chen to be sure.

"You're a bit capable, buddy, you look young, but I'm sure you're a lot better than the old guys you just said." The young man who followed behind Zhou Chen heard Zhou Chen's muttering, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised Zhou Chen repeatedly.

"Dude, I won't say much else, you go first to see my master's situation." The young man reached out to open the front door.

"Forget it, if a patient has anything to look at, it's better to look at these medicinal herbs." Zhou Chen pursed his lips and turned around and walked towards the medicinal herbs piled up in the living room.
