Chapter 50: The Poison Sutra

readx;

In the center of the spacious square of the Star Sect, there are several large cauldrons, and the fire is raging below, and the water vapor in the pot is steaming, and I don't know what is boiling inside, and the water vapor that comes out is of various colors, and it has a strange taste.

Four young slave boys, bought from herdsmen, tended to the cauldron, adding firewood from time to time, and at regular intervals, adding unnamed twigs, grass, roots, tubers, and the like.

These things were collected by other people from various parts of the Qianhu Basin in the past few days, and there were many kinds of plants, mainly plants and fungi, and the people who collected them did not know what their names were or what they were for, they were just acting on orders.

The fire has not been extinguished, the things in the cauldron have been boiling like this, and after boiling for three days in a row, the senior brother Li Kun finally came over to inform that it was time to get out of the pot, and the four boys cooperated with each other to carefully take out the things in the pot with specific steps, and they looked very cautious, because if they made a mistake, they would definitely be severely punished by Li Kun.

It was evening at this time, and those who had practiced or gone out to work had come back one after another, and in their curious eyes, they saw that the four boys had taken out of the pot something like a thick paste, but in different colors, some white, some black, some purple, and some red more vivid than blood.

The boiled paste was immediately put into some airtight boxes by the boys, and after the boxes were tightly closed, they had to smear fine mud around the cracks, as if they were worried that the contents would come into contact with the air outside.

Under Li Kun's command, the boys moved the boxes to a warehouse, which was smaller than the ones where food and water were stored, but more elaborately built, and erected a wooden sign at the door with a large "Dan" character written on it.

This is a newly built Dan house, no one is allowed to step into it without the order of the head, and once it is discovered, it will be executed.

When Li Kun came in with the boy, Ding Peng was already inside, he was looking at a book with a yellowed skin, and in front of him were four or five huge tables, on which were stacked with many ceramic bowls and jars, and some rough wood hollowed-out utensils, and I didn't know what they were for.

Ding Peng looked very attentive and engrossed, or knew who was coming in, so he didn't raise his head.

Li Kun didn't dare to disturb his interest, and instructed the four junior disciples to put the box in the open space against the wall on the east side, and then waved them out.

When the boys all went out, Li Kun closed the door, and then walked in front of Ding Peng and waited patiently.

After half a pillar of incense, Ding Peng finally raised his head, as if he had just found Li Kun, stretched his waist, and said, "Is the medicine boiled?"

Li Kun hunched his back and replied, "Master, it's all boiled, the disciple has arranged for someone to bring the ointment over, and it's placed at the base of the wall, do you want to take a look?"

Ding Peng looked in the direction pointed by Li Kun, and said lightly: "Let's put it first, as long as you strictly follow the procedure, there will be no problem." In addition, you will continue to arrange for people to go out and collect tomorrow, and it will be the same things as recorded on the atlas last time. ”

"The disciple obeyed. Master, now that you are cultivating for half a day and working with Qin Lao for half a day, the time is limited, and the medicinal materials you can collect are also limited, so the disciple has a suggestion, should you arrange some special people to collect them, so that you can get more medicinal materials?"

Ding Peng thought for a while and shook his head: "No, practicing is the first thing, and Qin Lao is there to be no delay, and these medicinal materials are only used as a backup, not urgently, so don't delay the business, just take the leisure time and let them take turns to go out to collect." ”

"Yes, the disciple obeys. Li Kun had no choice but to dispel Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and said: "Master, the disciple's rotten bone palm mantra has been memorized, and the roadmap for practicing the gong has also been mastered, Master, you see...... When should a disciple start practicing?"

Ding Peng glanced at Li Kun, saw an eager expression on his face, and said with a smile: "What, Lao Li, didn't you always want to go home to ask for a daughter-in-law before, and now you are also interested in practicing?"

Li Kun smiled embarrassedly: "Master, don't make fun of me, the disciple was ignorant before, and he didn't understand the master's good intentions, but now the disciple understands, the disciple is determined to follow the master forever, practice hard, and in the future, the prestige of our Star Sect will be completely launched in the rivers and lakes." When the time comes, let those decent people come over and kowtow to Master and apologize. ”

Ding Peng laughed, pointed at Li Kun and nodded with his finger: "Lao Li, you old boy is getting better and better at talking, but I like it! Okay, as a teacher, I will accept your love first, I hope that one day, my star faction will stand on the top of the rivers and lakes." ”

Li Kun patted his ass and said: "With the omnipotent master leading us, the Xingzhu faction will definitely become the number one faction in martial arts, and when the time comes, let those so-called ten major gangs in the rivers and lakes come to pay tribute to my Xingshu, and rely on us to survive." ”

Ding Peng was very happy to hear it, although he knew that Li Kun was a sycophant, these words were also what he liked to hear, and what he wanted, many people want to be powerful and powerful, why, because not only can they get the benefits of privilege, but they can also get the satisfaction of vanity, but what they say elegantly, what is it called a sense of achievement, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is not a matter of face.

If a person gets a great achievement, no one applauds or cheers, what is the point, even the brocade night walk can't be compared.

After Ding Peng was satisfied, he did not hesitate to reward, picked up a wooden box on the table, took out a vermilion pill the size of a dragon's eye from it, and threw it to Li Kun.

"Then, this is the Tongxi Xiaodi Dragon Pill that has just been refined for the teacher, and it can be carried on the body to prevent poisonous insects, and ordinary poisons are respectful and stay away when they smell it, remember to wear it, don't take it, it will kill people. ”

Li Kun nodded with joy on his face, Ding Peng thought of something again, and reminded: "This can't prevent the ant colony on the other side of the canyon, don't show it blindly just because you have this thing, the teacher is considering that you will have to practice the exercises soon, and when the time comes, you will catch some ordinary poisonous insects, and there is a small earth dragon pill in your body, you don't have to worry about the poison backlash, understand?"

Li Kun nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "The master is good to the apprentice, how can the disciple not understand, the disciple was so excited that he couldn't speak just now, and the master's teachings and disciples have all written it down, and they will never dare to mess around." ”

"It's good to understand!" Ding Peng said lightly, the Tongxi Xiaodi Dragon Pill is the elixir he refined based on the Tongxi Dilong Pill in the Poison Sutra, although the name is similar, but with a small word, the effect is much worse.

The original Tong Rhino Dragon Pill is the treasure of Ouyang Feng, the material is obtained from the body of the alien beast in the Western Regions, refined by Ouyang Feng with special medicinal materials, worn on the body, all poisons are not invaded, poisonous snakes and poisonous insects are all respected, and there is only one in the world.

Although the Tongxi Xiaodi Dragon Pill also has the effect of repelling poison, it can only restrain ordinary poisons, and it is ineffective against xenomorph ant colonies like Pitch Black Star, and the effect is not as good as the high-grade anti-poison pill that Ding Peng once gave Li Kun, but it has the advantage that it volatilizes slowly, and the anti-poison pill can be volatilized in a moment or three, while the Xiaodi Dragon Pill can be worn for a long time, and there is no problem at all if it is used for half a year and three months.

Sent Li Kun away, Ding Peng continued to study the booklet with the yellow cover, this book is called "Poison Sutra", it is a secret book exchanged by Ding Peng and the system, although it is not a secret book of martial arts, but Ding Peng studied it for a few days and benefited a lot.

The author of the Poison Sutra is called Anonymous, and the opening preface is tall: "The most poisonous person in the world is not more than ten kinds of crane top red, peacock gall, ink spider juice, carrion paste, rainbow fungus, blue silkworm eggs, pit viper salivation, turtle, and white potato sprouts." This is a well-known common poison, and what I remember is a strange genus. The doctor said: "Know a hundred poisons and solve a hundred poisons." I went to the North Underworld, to the South Zhao, to the East China Sea, to the Western Regions, to search for poisons, familiar with their nature, after a hundred years to edit a volume, for which it is called "The Book of Poison". ”

This book of poison records strange things, mostly records some poisons that people don't know at all, a total of 372 kinds of records, of which 87 kinds of strange poisons are discussed in detail, from appearance to habits to toxins and then how to refine, very detailed, Ding Peng read it, he was overjoyed, and he read it all night and was still unfinished.

However, the Poison Sutra also has flaws, that is, the sword goes sideways, in order to achieve the purpose of wonder, blindly discussing those things that are rare for ordinary people or have never heard of in their lifetime, and the records are very lacking in some common sense and ordinary poisons, for Ding Peng, who does not have much foundation, it is a bit unrealistic to improve his knowledge of poison in a short time.

In order to make up for this shortcoming, Ding Peng exchanged the "Encyclopedia of Poisons" written by Hu Qingniu, a doctor in the Butterfly Valley, with the system, which is decent, and the "Book of Poisons" are completely two extremes, recording all the poisons that can be seen in the ordinary, and there are some basic knowledge of poison refining, which just makes up for Ding Peng's lack of foundation.

With "The Encyclopedia of Poisons" and "The Book of Poisons", Ding Peng became a third-rate drug master in a very short period of time, the master of poison is because he has mastered the lofty knowledge, and the third-rate is because he has not completely digested this knowledge, such as refining a simple Tongxi Xiaodi Dragon Pill, you still need to keep reading books, either forgetting this or negligent that, and then finally practicing a few after several failures.

However, it is only a matter of time before Ding Peng becomes a master of toxicology, he has both advanced knowledge as a backing, as well as the unique conditions of the Qianhu Basin, which is also an important weight.

Although the Qianhu Basin is not too big, because of the long-term geographical isolation, many uniquely shaped creatures have been generated here, and there are some things that have long been extinct in the outside world, which can also be found in the Qianhu Basin, such as a handful of weed-like things thrown under his feet at the moment.

This is the golden silk, which is recorded in the Poison Sutra, it is not actually a grass, but a strange insect, they look very much like weeds, luring those creatures who do not know the details to stop or eat, but instead they are caught by the golden silk and become its food.

The golden silk recorded in the poison book was born in the wild land of Nanzhao, and Anonymous only picked one plant that year, and he suspected that this poison was extinct, but Anonymous would not have thought that in the No. 27 area of the Qianhu Basin, the golden silk was all over the mountains.

Golden silk is poisonous, but not very toxic, its important role is mixed with other toxins to promote toxicity, the poison of golden silk is like a catalyst, can be matched with its five elements to match the toxin several times or even hundreds of times, an ordinary toxin is catalyzed, may become the world's most toxic.

Contrary to the attributes of the golden silk is the flame taro, the flame taro can also be found in the Qianhu Basin, it is a very good neutralizing agent antidote, it itself is highly toxic, but after being used in a special way, it has become a good antidote to the medicine, Li Kun asked the boys to bring the ointment, which has the ingredients of flame taro.

In short, the two cheats of the Poison Sutra and the Encyclopedia of Poisons, although Ding Peng was a little painful when he exchanged them, but when he really saw the book, he suddenly felt that it was worth the money, of course, he did not suddenly want to change careers to become a pharmacist on a whim, but to prepare for the disciples of the stars to start practicing cultivation.

Cultivating poison skills, you can't do it without medicine!
