Chapter 310: Finding Medicine Alone
After Lu Batian and the others retreated, Ling An walked towards the mayor, helped the mayor up, and asked, "Mayor of the town, are you okay?"
"It's fine, I just feel weak. Young Master Ling An, why didn't you kill him just now, 1,000 gold coins per household, where can we pay it?"
"Mayor Town, don't worry, the top priority is to detoxify you first, and other things will be said after the detoxification!" Ling An had already discovered that Ah Cai might be a spy, but he didn't have any evidence yet, Ah Cai had already taken the lead and poisoned everyone's wine, and now he had to detoxify everyone first, and then make plans.
"But we don't know what poison we have, how to detoxify it?"
"I have a way, but I just need a few herbs!"
"What kind of medicinal materials, we have some spare medicinal materials at home, and there are also many medicinal materials in the nearby mountains, maybe there is one you need!"
"Purple Vine, Demon Flame Grass, and Spirit Miasma Flower!"
"I have wistery!"
"I found two Demon Flame Grass plants last time I picked medicine, and I haven't had time to sell them yet, and I'm still at home!"
The two spoke one after another.
When Ling An heard this, he immediately felt that things were much simpler, and continued to speak, "In this way, then only the Spirit Miasma Flower is left!
Everyone shook their heads, they had never heard of the name of the spirit miasma, so how did they know if there was one.
"Young Master Ling An, what does this spirit miasma flower look like, can you describe it to us?"
"The flower has seven petals, it is blue-gray in color, the leaves are gray-white, like a miasma, it grows in a dense place of fog, and within two feet of it, it is easy to grow a red rash, and the itching is unbearable!"
"Mayor Town, why is Ling Angongzi's description so much like an itchy flower?" replied a man in his forties.
"Well, listening to Childe's description is indeed like an itchy flower!" the mayor nodded in agreement.
"Itchy flowers, I don't know where to pick them?" Ling An thought about it carefully, thinking that the itching flower in their mouth was the spirit miasma flower, because it was poisonous itself, and ordinary people didn't know that it was a medicinal herb at all, and the poisoning symptoms did make people feel itchy, so it was normal for them to call it an itching flower.
"Thisβ" The mayor seemed to have something unspeakable, and the others also bowed their heads and sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't hide it, Gongzi Ling'an, there is indeed near Jiayang Town, but if you want to pick it, it is even more difficult! Gongzi also saw it, there is a peak outside the town, called Lugu Peak, more than 1,000 zhang high, very precipitous, this is nothing, there is a valley on the top of the mountain, the valley is shrouded in a poisonous miasma all the year round, people can't enter it at all, and the itching flower is in this valley. β
"Lugu Peak, it seems that it is necessary to take a trip!" Ling An looked into the distance and muttered to himself, under the moonlight, he could only vaguely reflect the appearance of Lugu Peak, staring at Ling An like a giant python.
"What, Prince Ling An is going to go?"
"Well, since Lugu Peak has a spirit miasma flower, then you can only go there!"
"But Childe, Lugu Peak is extremely dangerous, how dare you let Childe take such a risk for us!"
"Don't worry, Mayor, I have a way to deal with it. Now that everyone has been poisoned, you first let everyone gather together, don't disperse, I will let Dan Xingzi protect you in case the mountain bandits suddenly attack!"
"On behalf of all the people of Jiayang Town, the old man thanked Prince Ling An for saving his life many times!" the mayor of the town knelt on his knees and bowed.
"Thank you Prince Ling An for saving your life!" the people of the town knelt on the ground and bowed.
"Mayor of the town, please get up, everyone get up, Ling really can't afford such a big gift!"
Ling An helped the mayor up, and Dan Xingzi suddenly spoke: "Master, why don't I go with you?"
"It's okay, you just stay in town to protect everyone, I'll be back soon!"
After Ling An finished speaking, he left Jiayang Town overnight and headed towards Lugu Peak, under the moonlight, a white shadow was faintly visible, and his footsteps were in a hurry. Under the call of the mayor, all the people in the town gathered together and waited for Ling An's return!
The sky was getting brighter, and under the Lugu Peak, Ling An walked quickly, his body was agile, but in two hours, he reached the mountainside. There is no way forward, blocked by a huge mountain rock, if you want to continue to move forward, you must climb the mountain rock with your bare hands, Ling An took two breaths of hot air in his mouth, rubbed his hands, at this moment he has clearly felt the temperature drop suddenly, between breaths, the cold air hits. After his hands warmed up a little, Ling An began to crawl, but his hands and feet slipped, and he almost didn't stand firmly, this place was dark and damp with his back to the sun all the year round, and the mountain rocks were already covered with moss, which was particularly easy to slip. Ling An took a closer look, and began to climb up again, every step of the way was to stand firm before daring to continue, soon a stick of incense time passed, Ling An was only six feet away from climbing the mountain rock, stood in place and took a breath, ready to continue to move forward, suddenly the stone under his feet was unstable, Ling An slid down before he could react, his hands kept grasping the protruding rock, and he slipped more than two feet to stabilize his body, and his hands and feet were all scratches. Ling An looked at his feet, sighed, continued to climb, and finally climbed the mountain rock, a rugged path appeared in front of him, Ling An did not stay too long, walked forward, the more up, the more cold the wind, Ling An took out a coat and put it on, ate some food, and was about to set off again, the rockfall on the top of the mountain rolled down, Ling An looked up, a six-foot stone was about to hit him, turned over and flashed, and passed by the stone, there was no danger, and then more than ten falling rocks continued to fall down, Ling An found a mountain recess to dodge, waiting for the rock to fall completely, and then continued to go upγ
Three hours passed, and Ling An finally reached the top, and was looking for the valley that the mayor said, when suddenly two third-order beasts burst out and blocked Ling An, with sharp fangs in their mouths and salivation. Ling An had already prepared, took out two purple-brown pills from his arms, and when the strange beast saw it, his eyes straightened, and he rushed to him, ready to take the pill, but he saw Ling An standing at the mouth of the cliff, stretched out his left hand, and was about to throw the pill down, the two strange beasts saw this, and immediately stopped, looking at Ling An, looking like they had something to discuss.
"That's right!" Ling An withdrew his left arm.
"I know you can't say it yet
But you must understand, and now we make a deal, and if you agree, you will nod your head, how about it?"
The two beasts nodded, indicating that it was okay!
"Okay, these are two third-grade pills, what is the effect, you should also know, now I am going to enter a valley full of poisonous miasma, you take me there, this pill is yours?"
When the two beasts heard this, they howled twice and stepped back.
"What, you don't dare to go in?"
The alien beast nodded, Ling An was shocked, he didn't expect the poisonous miasma to be so powerful, even the third-order alien beast was so afraid.
"Then you can take me to the entrance, right?"
The beast nodded in agreement, but then howled again, staring at the elixir in Ling An's hand.
Ling An understood that they were asking him to hand over the pill to them first, and he refused: "That's not good, how can there be a reason to pay the money first and then do something!"
The two strange beasts were not angry, and lay in place, ready to "fight wits and courage" with Ling An.
Seeing this, Ling An smiled bitterly helplessly, threw one of the pills to them, and said, "Give one first, and then give the rest when you arrive." β
The two strange beasts looked at each other, howled and exchanged in a low voice, and after a while, they got up, took the pill, and walked forward, Ling An followed!
Half an hour later, two strange beasts appeared at the entrance of a mountain crevice with Ling An, and then stopped moving forward and howled at Ling An.
"This is what I call the valley?"
The beast nodded!
"Okay, I'll believe you once!" Ling An took out the remaining pill, handed it to the two alien beasts, and then walked inside, the alien beasts didn't care whether he was alive or dead, took the pill and left directly.
The crack in the mountain is about four zhang long, the more you walk in, the more you can feel the miasma, Ling An walked through the crack in the mountain, the inside was completely shrouded in gray miasma, and it was impossible to see clearly from two zhang away, he took out a red pill from his waist and put it in his mouth, this pill is called the poison avoidance pill, contained in the mouth, the pill does not melt within six hours, and the poison does not invade; Ling An walked in the valley and found that although this place was shrouded in poisonous miasma all the year round, there were a lot of rare medicinal materials, and in just two hours, Ling An found more than 20 medicinal materials of not low grade, but there was no trace of the spirit miasma flower. Seeing that the entire valley was about to be searched by him, Ling An was also a little anxious in his heart, if there was no miasma flower here, then not only would he run in vain, but the remaining time would not be enough for him to search elsewhere, once the three days came, if he didn't have time to detoxify the town mayor, it would be difficult to do!
The road of heaven and earth, just when Ling An searched the entire valley and did not see the spirit miasma flower, and retreated, under a stone rock, there was a cluster of spirit miasma flowers, there were twenty or thirty plants, Ling An was overjoyed, and was about to step forward to pick, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, the spirit miasma flower likes to grow alone, there is some kind of connection between them, there are generally no two plants within a hundred zhang, and there are so many growth here, there is only one explanation, someone or something else transplanted them together.
