Chapter 8 Collecting Medicine

The living conditions in the border wasteland are extremely difficult. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the fierce beasts on the edge of the fierce tiger mountain and the desolate beasts in the depths of the mountain all contain extremely rich nutrients in their bodies.

It is precisely because of the hardship and treacherous nature of the region that the fierce beasts and wild beasts are rampant and domineering, which also creates the abundance and preciousness of medicinal herbs.

Of course, the deeper you go, the more precious the herbs are, and most of the herbs on the edge are ordinary varieties, and they rarely come across valuable ones.

Even if you collect on the edge, there is a certain danger, and sometimes if you are unlucky, you will encounter a fierce beast and lose your life.

These herbs, because they were collected by individuals at the risk of their lives, are private property, and no matter what is harvested, they do not have to be handed over to the village.

Every time Bai Yu collected the herbs, Bai Li took them to Shanghe City to change things, but he didn't see the things he changed back every time. He was not a fool, he had already guessed that these must have been sent to the academy and supplied to Bai Xiu as a scholarship.

Bai Yu didn't say anything every time, even if he ate bad rice, he never complained.

Only this time, for the first time in his life, he was uncomfortable.

Jumping over a trench, he subconsciously looked at his hand. Because of the long hours of labor and exercise, his palms appear thick and powerful, far from being as smooth and soft as those of ordinary twelve or thirteen-year-old boys. But was he not aware that the palm of his hand had gathered herbs to provide for his food and lodging, or, like the woman, he thought it was a matter of course?

"What do you think of me?"

Bai Yu thought fiercely, climbing a hill and facing a gust of wind that made him feel better.

"I'm almost over the cordon!"

He heard the roar of the beast in the distance, looked left and right, and suddenly felt his heart sink.

This road is relatively flat, he is used to walking on weekdays, running all the way like a horse, and under the pressure of heavy thoughts, he unconsciously walked through the ground.

His gaze was not far behind, where there was a steeper hill, and the possibility of a beast infestation was also confirmed by the people of the village to be the lowest. However, because of the safety and the large number of people picking them, the result was that there were fewer and fewer herbs on the mountain, and in the end, it was rare for anyone to come once in ten or eight days.

Naturally, he would not go to such a barren place, and although the place he was going to was dangerous, the harvest was absolutely rich.

He took out a small sack made of linen cloth from his bosom, carefully opened the mouth of the bag, and took out a small dried grass from it. After locking the mouth of the bag back into his arms, he rubbed the grass into crumbs with his palms together, rubbed it on his bare skin, and half inhaled it into his nose.

This is the Breath Grass, which is the main material for refining the Breath Pill. It also has a function, which can cut off the "popularity" on the body, unless it is directly seen by the beast, it is impossible to smell it as a human by breath alone.

Although it is not uncommon, it has been looking for him to turn into white feathers for a long time. After all, this is the outskirts of the Liehula Mountain, and all the medicinal herbs, whether they are useful or not, have been collected by the people in the village.

Descending the hill, he clings to large trees or rocks, trying to keep the movement as small as possible.

Even if the beast's sense of smell is isolated, it is not too safe, not only does the beast have a keen sense of smell, but their sense of hearing is also developed, and the sound is too loud, even if they are ten kilometers away, they can hear it, maybe they will come to see it when they have a good idea.

I walked several kilometers before I saw the canyon not far away. There are many medicinal herbs growing there, because the canyon is steep and there are fierce beasts on the periphery, and no one in the village knows about it.

Here, Bai Yu didn't worry that someone would fight with him, the only thing he was careful about was not to make too much noise and attract the attention of the fierce beast.

He descended one by one with the help of the rattan hanging from the cliff face of the canyon.

The more precious the herb is, the more hidden it is, and you can't imagine that a ginseng fruit can grow on the main road.

Descending again and again, Bai Yu appeared to be proficient. There are also some medicinal herbs in these places, each of which is still a seedling, and Bai Yu knows that he can't burn the forest and hunt, so he naturally won't touch them.

When he was ten years old, he came to collect medicine for the first time, because of the sudden heavy rain, he hid in a cave indiscriminately, and accidentally found that the stone behind him was loose, so he pushed it away and entered a cave under curiosity.

He didn't encounter too many adventures, this is just the most ordinary mountain in the border wilderness, and people with skills will not retreat here.

There is nothing in the cave house, but some pictures have been secretly drawn on the rock wall. At first glance, these pictures tell that they are various medicinal herbs. From the non-grade to the high-grade precious medicinal materials, there are thousands of kinds. There are not only graphics, but also text introductions, and some Dan prescriptions and techniques are written at the back, just like a pharmacopoeia scroll.

The white feather root bone was congenitally closed, but he had an extraordinary memory, and it was difficult to forget it after only remembering it once. Even though the graphics were already difficult to read because of their age, he used his superior comprehension to coherent his reasoning, but he didn't know if it was correct.

Thankfully, the next time he came back to look for it, the cave had already disappeared, and a torrential rain caused a flash flood that buried the ruined cave.

"Great luck, I actually found a spine ginseng!"

Stepping on a steep cliff, Bai Yu was just about to look for the next place to stay, when he saw a plant that was different from the others. Memorizing the pharmacopoeia allowed him to recognize its origin at a glance, and his heart suddenly blossomed.

The hoe was removed from the basket and the surrounding soil and gravel were removed in three or two strokes, gradually revealing a thick root system. He pulled a few more handfuls along the root system, and pulled out the entire root system with a slight force.

The vine leaves on it are also a kind of medicinal herb, but the value is not large, far less valuable than the root system. According to the cave pharmacopoeia, the function of Radix Radix is "to replenish the five organs, quench thirst, clear blood vessels, and break the accumulation". Even if he had never sold the herb directly, Bai Yu knew that it was worth a lot of money, because some high-grade pills could use this herb repeatedly.

If it was a normal time, no matter how hungry Bai Yu was, the first thing that came to mind was Bai Xiu.

Only this time he was really cold, and wiped the thick roots indiscriminately, and he sent it to his mouth without even thinking about it.

A hint of bitterness mixed with a hint of sweet juice flows from the mouth into the throat and down the thirsty throat tube.

He closed his eyes slightly, and he "saw" that these medicinal liquids were like scattered smoke cartridges, flowing and breaking into tens of millions of particles, melting into the thick blood vessels and veins. The muscles and veins are moisturized and active, not only smoother, but also faintly extending to the front end.

This is a manifestation of long-term loss of qi and blood, and depletion of nutrients in the muscles and veins.

After eating a plant of Radix Radix, he suddenly made his breath rush to his peak state, his eyes were full of divine light, and he turned left and right, and he accidentally saw a pinch of light blue grass growing on a rock wall more than ten meters away.

"That's aconitum grass, it's poisonous. However, after adding Aracea, Fuma seed, stone flower and jade cypress juice, it can refine Tongbi Pill and treat tendon and vein depletion medicine to eliminate the disease. ”

Bai Yu was turning the rock wall pharmacopoeia in his mind, and at the same time, he was also thinking about the Danfang that used aconitum grass.

Even with a strong memory, he has been constantly reviewing and recalling the scriptures on the rock wall for the past two or three years. After all, everything is still theoretical, and even some words he still learned in the following days, and then he can get the number right.

The rock walls were smooth, and there were no vines around them.

Also, with the habit of aconitum grass, as long as it starts to grow, the plants around him will lose their qualifications to grow, and they are very domineering.

If there was no ground ginseng to replenish, Bai Yu would not dare to take the risk, but at this time, with a slight jump, he kicked out more than ten meters away like an ape, directly grabbed the rock protrusion, and stopped next to the aconitum grass.
