Chapter Seventy-Two: Monkey Mountain
Prunella vulgaris has a certain effect on the treatment of trauma, and it is also relatively common, and is often used by farmers and hunters. They are also relatively simple to use, usually mashed with water and mixed into a puree and applied directly to the wound or chewed and applied to the wound, which is the most common way to use, but the wound is susceptible to infection.
Some junior elixir masters will use special methods to extract the active ingredients of winter dry grass, and finally make it into a powder, which can be applied to the wound to stop bleeding quickly and effectively, and can effectively prevent the wound from becoming infected.
However, since most elixir masters can only refine the eastern dry grass into low-grade elixirs at most, the value of the elixir of the winter dry grass is not large, and the elixir masters who can refine the winter dry grass are also very rare, the main reason is that its toxicity is difficult to refine.
Most people would rather just pound it than spend money on it.
However, Qin Zhan discovered that the furnace in the Demon Slaying Spear could actually refine the winter withered grass into a spirit pill, and if the spirit pill was made into a spirit liquid, it would probably be able to reach the level of the elixir refined by a fourth-order elixir master.
With the Demon Slayer Gun, it can be said that it is a great profit.
Because withered grass is so common, almost no one will deliberately sell it, and the effect of the spiritual liquid is at least the level of a medium-grade elixir. A small bottle can be sold for more than 500 points, and the better the efficacy, the more valuable it is.
Therefore, Qin Zhancai collected all the winter withered grass he saw while hurrying.
Although Beitang Yu'er didn't know why Qin Zhan collected so much winter dry grass, she helped collect it together when she saw Qin Zhan collecting it.
If it was before, no matter what Qin Zhan did, Beitang Yu'er would ask why. But now, deep down, she has more trust in Qin Zhan.
Beitang Yu'er knew that although Qin Zhan usually looked very arrogant, he was still a little improper. But she knew that Qin Zhan didn't do everything with a joking attitude.
The farther away from the temple, the more difficult the mountain road becomes, mainly because it is inaccessible. Sometimes it can be very cold when walking in a place where the sun does not shine.
Fortunately, Qin Zhan and Beitang Yu'er had a map, which saved them a lot of trouble.
Before, in the academy, Qin Zhan heard from the thin monkey that there was a monkey's head mountain near the Wuling Academy, and there were hundreds of macaques living on that mountain, and these monkeys especially liked to collect all kinds of fruits, and over time they actually made a kind of fruit wine from fruits.
It is said that this monkey wine is not only fragrant and delicious, but also has the miraculous effect of invigorating blood and sewage, and a gourd monkey wine can be sold for tens of thousands of points in the Wuling Academy, and it is often priceless.
Especially those elders, they would rather spend a lot of money to taste monkey wine, because older people have much worse detoxification ability than young people, and it will take a lot of energy to use Yuan Li to detoxify, so once there is any elixir that can assist in detoxification, these people will often fight for blood, so 10,000 points is not much.
The distance between Monkey Mountain and Wuling Temple is not too far, and it only takes about three hours to reach it if it goes well. According to the location shown on the map, Qin Zhan and Beitang Yu'er barely encountered much trouble along the way.
The sprawling mountains were boundless, and Qin Zhan and the others couldn't remember how many peaks they had climbed before they came to the vicinity of Monkey Mountain.
What shocked Qin Zhan and the others was the natural danger in front of them, a cliff twenty zhang wide and bottomless. And opposite Qin Zhan and them is Monkey Mountain, but to reach Monkey Mountain, you must cross this abyss. Violent winds whistled past your ears and whirred through cliffs.
"No wonder monkey wine is so expensive, just this cliff, it is estimated that you have to reach the Earth Yuan Mirror to cross it", Qin Zhan said with some disappointment.
"Brother Qin Zhan, what do you see here", Beitang Yu'er asked, pointing to the front.
Qin Zhan looked in the direction pointed by Beitang Yu'er, and saw several towering trees growing forty or fifty zhang high next to the cliff, and a few arm-thick vines hung from the branches, swaying in the air with the strong wind.
"Could it be that those monkeys are coming in and out through these vines," Qin Zhan said with some incredulity.
"Then, Brother Qin Zhan, do we still want to go to Monkey Mountain", Beitang Yu'er said with a little hesitation.
Qin Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Yu'er, why don't we try it, if we can find out the manufacturing method of monkey wine this time, we will definitely be able to exchange for more resources." It's just that the two of us are too light, and with our weight, it's probably hard to swing through, so we have to cross it together."
Listening to Qin Zhan's words, Beitang Yu'er nodded lightly, because there was a reason in her heart that could not be said, and she was willing to try. So, Qin Zhan grabbed Beitang Yu'er's waist and leaped up through a run-up, and then grabbed the vine with his other hand and jumped away.
Beitang Yu'er's jade-like little face was full of red, not because of the wind, but because of the powerful arms around his waist. At this moment, she once again felt a long-lost sense of security, a security that only her father had brought to him.
After a moment's effort, Qin Zhan came to Monkey Mountain with Beitang Yu'er in his arms. It's just that the inertia of the two of them is too great, and they can't stand firm immediately after Qin Zhan loosens the vine. Subconsciously, Qin Zhan held Beitang Yu'er's waist with one hand and Beitang Yu'er's head with the other, and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
Beitang Yu'er buried her head in Qin Zhan's arms, not daring to raise her head, a little excited and a little reluctant in her heart, just wanting time to pass slowly.
Suddenly, a monkey's scream came from a distance, and the frightened birds of the forest scattered in all directions. Qin Zhan and Beitang Yu'er hurriedly got up from the ground, the two looked at each other for a moment, and quickly ran in the direction of the sound source. Along the way, Qin Zhan and the others found many blood stains, and further on, there were many monkey corpses lying on the ground from time to time, some of which were even stumps and broken arms.
"Judging by their wounds, some were cut with weapons, and some were more like they were bitten by wild beasts. Yu'er, we have to be careful", Qin Zhan frowned, and said with some uneasiness in his heart. Beitang Yu'er nodded slightly, and then quietly continued to move forward with Qin Zhan.
With the blood stains on the ground, Qin Zhan and the two came to a cave after a while. There are many kinds of breaths mixed in the cave, the thickest of which is blood. And from time to time there were screams of monkeys from the cave, judging from the sound, there should be more than one monkey.
Qin Zhan and Beitang Yu'er tacitly took out their respective weapons and disappeared into the darkness of the cave. With his sensitive perception, Qin Zhan took Beitang Yu'er and walked forward for hundreds of steps until he came to a wide space.
