Chapter 26 Herb Picking 2
Light rain.
A few hundred meters north of Taki, there is a continuous mountain woodland.
Bai Ming was carrying a bamboo basket barefoot, and his expression was relaxed and comfortable, like a person stepping into the green.
Following a trail formed by the traces of previous human activities, Bai Ming stepped on the rugged road and entered the mountain.
After entering the area shrouded by the mountains and forests, the loud roar of the steam machines in the town's factories instantly became almost inaudible, Bai Ming followed the knowledge of collecting medicines recorded in the "Medicine King Divine Chapter", carefully looking for useful medicinal materials, and at the same time alert to the changes in the surrounding environment.
Although it is still on the edge of the mountain forest, very close to the range of human activities, there are generally no fierce beasts, but if you are negligent, you will inevitably be slow to react when encountering sudden dangers.
And sometimes the reaction is slow, and it is your own life that you lose.
He is also stronger than ordinary people in martial arts, but he is still in the category of carbon-based creatures, and if he dies, he will still die.
The country of rain rains all year round, the rain is abundant and suitable for the growth of most plants, the vegetation that grows in the mountain forest is luxuriant, and there are many useful herbs.
These herbs may be like weeds on the side of the road in the eyes of the people of the Land of Rain, but in the hands of Bai Ming, who has carefully studied the knowledge of systematic herbology, they can play a great role.
"Hey!"
A black-red knotted soft reptile hurriedly crawled under the leaves, and Bai Ming's eyes quickly reached out and clamped the obviously poisonous reptile with chopsticks made of two branches, took out a bamboo tube, stuffed it in, and then carefully sealed it, and then tied a rope and hung it around his waist.
He already had seven or eight similar bamboo tubes hanging around his waist, all of which were some poisonous snakes and insects he had caught.
There are many medical skills recorded in the "Medicine King God Chapter", but there are more poison knowledge recorded, in addition to the knowledge of toxicity using herbs, there is also the knowledge of using biological toxicity.
There is always a limit to individual force alone, and if you can make those poisons recorded in the "Medicine King God Chapter", you will undoubtedly be more secure for your own safety.
He hadn't forgotten that Cheng Lingsu had tortured and killed him dozens of times with a few poisons.
The forest is secluded, and as you go deeper into the forest, the surrounding environment becomes quieter, and the lush canopy of trees blocks most of the rain, and you can even see the rare dry ground environment.
The birdsong heard in front of me seemed to be gone, and the place was a little too quiet.
"It's a little too deep." The quiet environment around Bai Ming made him realize that something was wrong, he carefully looked at the towering and thick trees around him, there was no trace of human activity, and he understood that he had unconsciously entered the inner zone of the mountain forest.
He raised his vigilance to the highest level, and walked back cautiously, fortunately, leaving marks along the way, so as not to get lost.
After walking for about ten minutes, the surrounding sounds seemed to come back to life, and the sound of birdsong outside the rain and the commotion of small animals running around in the woodland clearly came to my ears.
Bai Ming sped up and immediately ran out of the mountain forest, and waited until he came to the edge of the mountain forest.
"Roar!"
A fierce roar of an unknown beast reached his ears with a wave, and the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees shook, and in an instant, crackled and rained down.
Bai Ming looked at the sound coming from, it was the direction he had just left, and he couldn't help but be a little lucky, fortunately he reacted in time and ran fast, otherwise he would not have much chance of winning against that unknown and ferocious beast.
He had no curiosity, and wanted to go back and see the beast for what it really was, and after a short rest, he began to wander again on the edge of the mountain forest.
After most of the herbs in the bamboo basket on his back were full, he left the mountain forest with some regret.
For Bai Ming, this mountain forest is like a treasure land, and he can find a few fresh herbs from time to time, although he may not use them, but this kind of ability to understand their effectiveness and continue to collect them can satisfy Bai Ming's material collection habit.
It's like playing a game, watching resources such as wood, stone, and ore continue to 1+, 1+, 1+...
When I got back to town, it was already starting to darken.
The pedestrians on the street gradually became sparse, but the flower street was deserted and deserted, red lanterns were lit up, and wandering girls with red rouge paraded back and forth on the flower street with umbrellas, and the sound of geisha playing with the shamisen came from the geisha hall, and there was a dancer dressed up in a high-rise building built in the flower street, attracting a bunch of people from the audience to watch.
'Kiyoko, Kiyoko...'
It's not a frenzied cheer.
In the rain in the evening, Bai Ming returned to the Qingyao Workshop.
"Huh?" He looked at the bouquet of pale yellow flowers placed in front of his door with some confusion, there were no traces of muddy water on it, and it was not thrown here at random.
Bai Ming picked up the flower, was silent, looked around, and walked into the house after finding nothing.
When he entered the house, the heads of the three imps poked out from a nearby corner, and they all had happy smiles on their faces when they watched the flowers being taken away by Bai Ming.
......
Life will always be in order.
In the following time, in addition to his daily cultivation, Bai Ming spent the rest of his time continuing to specialize in medical skills.
However, if it is too arrogant to describe it as a word of specialization, Bai Ming feels that he is more about learning and receiving the inherited knowledge.
After becoming more familiar with the medical heritage left by Cheng Lingsu, Bai Ming also regularly went up the mountain to collect medicine every two days.
Without engaging in any production and concentrating on cultivation, his cultivation of vajra qi and his study of medical and poison techniques were constantly improving, but correspondingly, his money was constantly reduced.
In a barren space.
Bai Ming looked at the pitch-black medicinal soup in front of him, the space was restored well, and the medicinal soup poured out of the gourd was still hot.
His face was a little hesitant, as if he was hesitating.
The medicinal soup in front of him was boiled according to a prescription left in the inheritance of the "Medicine King Divine Chapter", because of the lack of two medicinal materials, according to pharmacology, the medicinal effect may be weakened a little, but he has not tried, and he is not sure whether this medicinal soup is a success or failure.
If there is a self-study of medicine, making a good prescription, and taking it suddenly, it will be a joke.
But when I came to space, I didn't just want to prevent such jokes.
The hesitation on his face faded, and Bai Ming mustered up the courage to pick up the bowl and drink it suddenly, the bitter taste was indescribable.
But after the medicinal soup entered his throat, he closed his eyes cross-legged, quietly felt the condition of his body, and after waiting for more than half an hour or so, he did not feel any obvious abnormal discomfort in his body, but a warmth began to rise from his abdomen and rushed to his body.
"It's done."
Bai Ming's face showed a hint of joy, this was the medicinal effect of the "Peiyuan Soup" recorded in the medicine book, and he hurriedly began to try to cultivate internal strength.
The source of internal forces does not appear in a vacuum, and it will also conform to the law of conservation of energy.
The so-called refining of qi is also refining and refining qi, and the essence that can be converted by a person every day is actually limited, and if the more qi and blood are converted, it will be deficient, but it is easy to damage the body, and it cannot meet the essential requirements of nourishing and strengthening the body.
However, after taking the 'Peiyuan Soup', as the medicinal power was continuously absorbed and transformed in the intestines, the internal force in the dantian also increased, and the more internal force, the longer the time it took to cultivate by opening up the meridians, and the cultivation progress of Vajra Qi naturally followed.
