The black ointment is boxy, unremarkable, and seemingly inconspicuous.

Pang Yuan stretched out his hand and gently picked it up, but was surprised to find that although the black ointment was only the size of a palm, the weight was not light and very dense.

Holding it in his hand, the hard and slightly cold touch transmitted to his fingertips, and Pang Yuan gently poked it tentatively with his index finger, leaving only a shallow imprint, but staining the skin of his finger with a touch of deep color.

"Pang Yuan, have you cleaned up? Hurry up and come over for dinner!"

Outside the house, Old Man Pang's angry shout interrupted Pang Yuan's thoughts, and he came back to his senses and buttoned the big bowl on the table again.

Although his heart was still full of doubts and incomprehension, Pang Yuanqiang suppressed his emotions, and he was ready to ask the old man directly, after all, he was alone at home.

Pushing open the door and stepping into the courtyard, the thick aroma of steamed rice is inhaled into the mouth and nose, and the air is faintly filled with a familiar faint smell of meat, which attracts people to the stomach and is particularly refreshing.

Pang Yuan couldn't help but sniff hard, as if he was about to absorb the fragrance, he didn't stand in the courtyard for a long time, and went directly into the central house.

At this time, the old man Pang had just brought the food to the table, and he had just sat down when he saw him come in and greeted him.

Pang Yuan was not polite, his hungry belly made him temporarily put all his previous doubts behind, and stepped forward directly, facing the delicious food, let go of his belly and moved, using both hands.

The old man Pang who was sitting on the side had long been accustomed to his eating appearance, and he ate leisurely by himself.

The old man's eyes swept over Pang Yuan's exposed hands, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of the wounds and dark bruises on his hands, and he couldn't help but look at him, and the expression on his face froze.

However, Old Man Pang just shook his head, and then turned his head away quietly, as if nothing had happened, but the light in his eyes softened a little.

After filling his belly in a hurry, Pang Yuan remembered the strange black ointment he had seen in his room before, and saw that the old man Pang next to him had almost eaten at this time, and was sitting there picking his teeth, so he asked directly:

"Old man, have you seen the black ointment on the table in my room that is held in a big bowl?

When the old man Pang, who was sitting paralyzed against one side of the wall, heard this, he turned his head and glanced at him, tilted his head and thought for a while, and then replied slowly.

"Oh, that black square ointment, not long after you went out this afternoon, that little guy from Tong Hu came to our house, and he personally brought the ointment to you. It seems that it is said that the secret medicine ointment made by Dr. Sun in the village is specially used to assist your martial arts cultivation. ”

"It is said that this ointment can greatly speed up the progress of the cultivation of Jushi Gong, I don't know how it is, you can go by yourself!"

"Hmm, an ointment to assist in cultivation!"

When Pang Yuan heard Old Man Pang say this, he raised his eyebrows, and suddenly came to his senses.

He naturally knew that the old doctor in the village had been immersed in researching and making the mysterious potions that assisted cultivation recorded in the martial arts secret books these days, and Pang Yuan himself often guarded Doctor Sun into the depths of the deep forest and sea with other old hunters to collect all kinds of rare and exotic flowers and plants, and he didn't expect to finally see the finished product now.

In an excited mood, Pang Yuan hurriedly got up, quickly ran back to his room, and quickly stepped forward to uncover the big bowl, and the black square ointment under it came into view again, accompanied by a choking smell.

However, Pang Yuan knew at this moment that the effect of this ointment was extraordinary, and the perception was naturally different, Pang Yuan carefully picked it up, his expression was focused, as if he was facing a rare treasure.

The amount of black ointment is not light, Pang Yuan held it on the palm of his hand, looked at it carefully, and secretly figured it out, but after all, he didn't know its specific usage, so he could only be silently anxious at this time.

"This black square ointment is so hard to pinch, I don't think it should be used for consumption, right? Looks like I'll have to ask Huzi that guy tomorrow. ”

Pang Yuan reached out and pinched the thick black ointment, feeling its hardness, and secretly pondered its use in his heart.

Seeing the brown-black ointment in front of him, smelling the rich herb smell it exuded, and the heavy bitter taste mixed with a hint of fresh grass and wood, Pang Yuan was a little curious about the taste of this strange ointment.

With a rush in his heart, Pang Yuan didn't dare to act rashly, just stretched out a finger and gently scraped some crumbs on the black square ointment with the hard nails at the end of his fingers.

His eyes were fixed on the slight unknown dark medicinal crumbs attached to his fingertips, Pang Yuan frowned, and when it came to the end, he hesitated a little, not knowing if it was a wise choice for him to do so.

But in the end, the strong curiosity in his heart overwhelmed his momentary concerns, Pang Yuan was ruthless, no longer looked at the thick black ointment, his heart sank, and he resolutely took the finger end of the black medicine crumbs in his mouth.

The next second, he regretted it.

Bitter, sour, spicy!

Suddenly, all kinds of strong and irritating flavors suddenly exploded on the tip of Pang Yuan's tongue, wantonly abusing his extremely sensitive taste buds, and his tongue seemed to be completely numb at this moment, and he lost consciousness.

But the unusually bitter and spicy irritating breath did not stop for a moment, uncontrollable, and forcibly poured into his stomach along his throat and eyes, making Pang Yuan's stomach begin to turn over the river and the sea.

At this moment, Pang Yuan's heart was full of remorse, he suddenly hated the damn curiosity he had sudden, he almost wanted to go back to just now and cut off the finger he stretched out.

Water!

At this time, Pang Yuan's eyes were red with stimulation around his sockets, his tears were full, his face was distorted and bitter, his tongue was sticking out, and he was panting.

He rushed to the bucket like crazy, picked up the big bowl, and poured two large bowls of cold water one after another, only then did he barely wash away the strong bitter herb smell in his mouth, and he felt more comfortable at this moment.

It's just that the stomach is rumbling, and from time to time there will be a bitterness, which will not go away for a long time, as if it is showing its existence.

Pang Yuan supported the bed board with both hands, sat quietly on the edge of the bed, and after a while, he slowly came to his senses and looked at the table again, where the black square ointment was lying there quietly, motionless, and his eyes couldn't help but fluctuate a little.

The attempt he had just made was extremely memorable, and it made Pang Yuan suffer a lot, but after tasting it himself, he was basically sure that this black square ointment should not be taken directly by cultivators.

Just scraping off the little bit of medicine with his fingernails made him miserable and unbearable, and if he were to eat the whole piece of ointment, he wouldn't want to try it!

Just thinking of this possibility, Pang Yuan couldn't help but shudder, and the hairs on his body were about to stand up.

At this time, the night is getting deeper, the courtyard outside is silent, and the stars in the sky are shining, slightly illuminating the night sky, and the starry sky is getting deeper and deeper.

After tossing for a while, Pang Yuan also felt a little lacking in spirit and interest.

He couldn't help but yawn and stretch his waist, the injury caused by overtraining flared up, the soreness all over his body made him feel more and more tired, although the injury caused by the afternoon practice had improved, but at this time he needed enough rest to fully recover completely.

The two eyelids have begun to fight, and under the double tiredness of mental and physical condition, Pang Yuan did not insist anymore, everything is waiting for tomorrow, now he just wants to sleep beautifully.

After a simple wash, Pang Yuan turned over to bed, extinguished the light, and soon he fell into a deep sleep, and a slight snoring sounded in the slightly dark room.

The next morning.

The early morning sun illuminated the inside and outside of the small room, and the melodious birdsong burst into bursts, Pang Yuan opened his eyes in response, feeling that the light in the room was a little dazzling, and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.

After a while, he slowly got used to it, moved his body, felt relaxed, and felt that the pain on his body had been reduced a lot.
