Chapter 8: The Elixir in the Valley

Hiss!

The moment he regained consciousness, the sharp pain in his whole body made Lu Chen gasp. Lu Chen only felt that he was like a calcined piece of iron at the moment, immersed in water after being knocked countless times in the furnace. There was a piercing pain all over his body, and the only place in his body that could move was his brain.

Lu Chen's legs fell straight into the cave, although the surface of the water cushioned most of the force for him, but the impact of his legs with the bottom of the water made him unconscious at this time.

Lu Chen's lips were chapped, and he didn't know how long he had been soaked in the water, and the little feeling left in his arm transmitted an unbearable feeling of swelling. Endured the severe pain and lowered his head slightly, let his lips wet a little water, regardless of whether the water here was clean or not, he swallowed it lightly. But even this slight movement made Lu Chen feel the pain of being torn apart.

Slightly resolving the feeling of emptiness in his abdomen, Lu Chen calmed down and began to imagine the scene around here. Since Lu Chen survived even such a thrilling situation, he must cherish this opportunity.

After experiencing the despair of falling into the cave at the beginning, Lu Chen cherishes every opportunity in life.

Lu Chen is such a person, no matter what the situation is, no matter how dangerous the situation is, as long as there is still hope, Lu Chen will not give up.

This may also be related to Lu Chen's experience in the early years, after Ah Jiuye's death, Lu Chen felt that the sky was about to fall, and the first days made him almost collapse, but he still persevered. At that time, he was only ten years old. At such an age, if you want to survive in the days to come, you must have made unimaginable efforts.

He worked for people in the town, and the people of the town took pity on him and gave him a lot of help, but this was not enough for him to continue to survive, the town was not rich, and the people were not able to provide for themselves, so he could only be helped a little.

He went to find Song Lao in the medical hall as an apprentice, but Song Lao was too old and refused to accept the apprentice, so he knelt at the door for a day and a night. It was very windy that night, and he only wore a single coat, perhaps it was his young figure shivering in the cold wind that moved Song Lao, who agreed to accept him as an apprentice. But he was blind.

The practice of medicine pays attention to looking, hearing and inquiring, and he has lost one of them by nature and has fallen behind. So he swore that he would do better with the other three things alone. He studied frantically, memorized the pharmacology taught by Song Lao ten times hundreds of times, he practiced hearing, practiced smell, honed his sense of touch, no matter the cold summer, he found the counterpart with his excellent sense of smell in dozens of medicinal materials, and accurately identified a specific sound in the mixed sound, once it didn't work, it would be a hundred times, a hundred times would not work, then it would be thousands of times, until the final little success could make him feel satisfied from the heart.

Following Song Lao to study medicine allowed him to barely find a way to survive in the town, so he firmly believed even more that Ah Jiu Ye said that there has never been a desperate road, and if he doesn't fight until he is powerless, how can he know that there is no hope.

Pulling his thoughts back, Lu Chen quickly judged that this should be a place similar to a stone valley, and there was a small lake at the bottom of the valley, which saved Lu Chen from death. The sound of dripping water came from nowhere in the valley, and it was very clear.

Lu Chen raised his head, ignoring the severe pain on his body, with little strength, his hand was on the ground, and his body was slowly removed from the water.

Call!

Exhaled a breath of turbidity, and it took about a stick of incense for Lu Chen to "drag" his soaked whitish body out of the water, gasping for breath on the shore.

The fragrance of the valley is very strong, and it is extremely strong in one place. Lu Chen breathed heavily, he finally came to the place he was looking for.

It seemed that his arm had regained its strength, and Lu Chen's hand touched the ground, crawling and moving towards his eyes one by one. With every step he took, Lu Chen felt a tearing pain in his body, but he gritted his teeth and didn't take the pain to heart. What he had ever dreamed of, right in front of his eyes at this moment, his body trembled, half a natural reaction to pain, but more of an inner agitation.

Finally, Lu Chen's hand touched something, groped, it was the stem of the grass and trees, it was the leaves, and he touched a complete "herb". No, it should be said that it is an elixir, and there seems to be a ...... next to it

Under Lu Chen's estimation and judgment, this elixir was about a foot high, like a small sapling, with a few fruits on it, but it was the size of a baby's fist, and the fragrant and sweet breath that had been lingering on the tip of Lu Chen's nose should have emanated from this fruit.

Approaching the side of this elixir at close range, between breathing, Lu Chen only felt comfortable, and the sharp pain on his body brought by crawling just now seemed to be subsiding, and Lu Chen's spirit seemed to be lifted by this. According to Lu Chen's research on pharmacology, although it is only the level of medical skills of ordinary people, Lu Chen also clearly knows that the medicine that makes him smell such a medicinal effect will definitely not be a poison.

There was more than one elixir, and around this fruiting elixir, according to the touch sensation coming from Lu Chen's hand, it should be that there were still four or five elixirs.

These four or five elixirs were different from the one that had grown in the center of the field and bore fruit before, the tallest of them was no more than half a foot, but they were different in form, one was full of pimples to the touch, like the roots of an old tree, and was generally half on top of the soil and under the soil. There is another elixir that grows strangely, the part that is exposed to the ground is in a clump, the rhizome is completely submerged in the soil, and the leaves on the outside are wrapped in a clump, as if it was planted in the vegetable garden at home... Cauliflower is about the same, quite peculiar.

Lu Chen's mood at the moment seemed to be jolting in the clouds, he was still in the abyss one moment, and flew to the top of the clouds in the next second. The elixir of his dreams appeared in front of his eyes, and when he appeared, it was not one, but several together. The huge joy drowned every thought in Lu Chen's mind, and at this time, there was only one thought left in his heart - he was saved.

After the excitement, Lu Chen's mood gradually calmed down, there were several elixirs in front of him, with his current situation, it was difficult for him to prescribe the right medicine. Lu Chen fell into thought, it was not that he didn't understand pharmacology, on the contrary, he was familiar with pharmacology by heart, but he didn't know where to start with these elixirs.

Lu Chen had never seen elixir, such things that only existed among the elders in the village, even the old herb pickers with decades of experience had only heard of it, and they had never had such experience. Elixirs are all immortal things that circulate among cultivators, and they are unattainable for ordinary people. Even if there are occasional mortals who are lucky enough to get the elixir, it will be like the lucky kid in Ding Nan's mouth who picked up the elixir, and in the end it was bought by the cultivator.

Therefore, for ordinary people, the knowledge of elixir is completely blank. But there are all kinds of rumors circulating among people, so-and-so has a breath left before he dies, takes the elixir, and immediately gives birth to a dragon and a tiger, and so-and-so suffers from a stubborn disease, and it is difficult to treat for a long time, and his son finds an elixir for him, and he can get rid of the disease, and a close relative dies, and his son steps into the fairy gate and begs for the elixir to save him......

There are countless legends about the elixir that circulate among people, but there is no one in ten thousand who have really seen it, and the rumors are true or false, but they all illustrate a problem, the elixir has an effect against the sky that mortals dare not imagine. This is also why Song Lao told him that there was an elixir to cure Lu Chen's eyes after he was hopeless.

There are several elixirs in front of me, which is a blessing that ordinary people dare not think of. Lu Chen turned sideways, still prostrate, the pain on his body seemed to remind him to make a quick decision, and the movement stimulated Lu Chen's teeth to grin.

made up his mind, there are several elixirs, but among them, Lu Chen can really judge the medicinal properties a little, only the elixir that is like a small tree, and the few wisps of fragrant breath he inhales will make him feel healing, and it will definitely have the effect of healing. His legs are now difficult to move, his back has completely lost sensation, and there are few intact skins on his body, so Lu Chen has no choice.

He didn't know the medicinal properties of the other elixirs at all, Lu Chen's pharmacological knowledge was useless here, and his heart was full of helplessness, as if the golden mountain was in front of him but he couldn't move it.

What Lu Chen couldn't see was that this elixir that had borne the spirit fruit was obviously taking advantage of the stars to hold the moon, and in terms of the value of the elixir, it must be higher than the surrounding elixirs. If there are practitioners here, they will inevitably exclaim. Not to mention anything else, an elixir like this that can occupy a central position among so many elixirs must be the most valuable in a medicine garden, and is often known as the "King of Medicine". Looking at the leaves of the elixir, there are circles of red lines on it, which is a sign of the elixir of the last year, and the stems and leaves of this elixir are densely covered with red lines.

Without thinking about it anymore, Lu Chen picked one of the three spirit fruits on this elixir, as if he was not sure if this small spirit fruit could heal his injuries, so he hurriedly picked another one.

Gritting his teeth, at this time, Lu Chen could only resign himself to fate, stuffing all the two spirit fruits into his mouth, and he didn't have time to taste the taste, only to feel that the spirit fruit melted in his mouth, and then was swallowed by Lu Chen.
