Chapter 9 He Shou Wu Mi

It's a nest of aggressive bees, not some hornet. Hornets feed on other small insects and rarely collect pollen to make honey, but at most sneak into bees' hives to steal some honey. Only bees collect their own pollen to make honey, such as the nest in front of them, although it is very aggressive, but their ability to make honey is not weak.

The yellow honey was like liquid gold in Wednesday's eyes, and his eyes were about to pop out. When he was a child, the temple was poor, and the snacks on Wednesday were honey from two boxes of bees raised by his master, in addition to the wild fruits on the mountain. And honey is not only edible, but also a very precious medicinal material.

Of course, there are many levels of honey depending on the region and the source of pollen, but there is basically no big difference in its characteristics. Wednesday swallowed quietly and dipped his finger on the yellow honey, then put it in his mouth and tasted it.

Wednesday I don't know what kind of honey it is, the taste is clear but not lacking, the mouth is slightly bitter, then gradually sweet, and finally it becomes extremely sweet, and can penetrate into the stomach all the way. After tasting it, Wednesday was overjoyed, this is definitely a good secret. Thinking of this, he carefully cut off a piece with his long sword and held it in his hand.

"Ding: Obtain He Shou Wu Honey × 1, Gathering Proficiency +10. ”

Hearing this system prompt, Wednesday was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed. He Shou Wu honey, listening to the name, is not ordinary honey, but also added 10 points of proficiency, doesn't this mean that his collection proficiency has broken through the bottleneck? Open the system to check, sure enough, the collection proficiency has changed from "beginner practice" to "first peek at the door", and the proficiency point has changed from 200 points to 210 points, that is to say, the proficiency has increased by a realm.

Looking at the honey in his hand again, there is also an additional system note at this time.

Polygonum multiflorum honey: The nectar brewed by forest bees collecting the pollen of Polygonum multiflorum is edible and can be used as medicine, grade B.

It turned out to be B-grade honey, no wonder it could help him break through this bottleneck, but it only increased by ten points of collection proficiency, which is not very scientific, could it be that the amount I collected is relatively small? Thinking of this, Wednesday raised his broadsword to cut this nest of honey piece by piece, and then pocketed it all.

More than ten catties of honey, a large piece of honey, on Wednesday collected twelve pieces, each piece gave him 10 points of collection proficiency, a total of 120 points, quite rich.

After the honey is removed, all that is left is a few larvae and empty nests, in addition to a dead queen bee. No wonder those bees refused to leave, without the queen bee's order, they really did not dare to leave, and the queen bee did not dare to leave until she was smoked to death.

After the hive was removed, the soil around the plant was removed with a hoe on Wednesday, and the roots were carefully dug out. Looking at the root lump of about five kilograms, Wednesday's heart blossomed.

"Ding: Obtain He Shou Wu ×1, gathering proficiency +50. ”

Polygonum multiflori: Polygonum multiennial winding vine, can detoxify, moisten the intestines, eliminate carbuncles, nourish essence and blood, black hair, strengthen muscles and bones, tonify liver and kidney, edible, can be used as medicine, grade A.

Looking at this huge root, Wednesday's mouth couldn't close, it turned out to be an A-grade good medicine, one level higher than He Shou Wumi's just now. Although he doesn't look at He Shou Wu's vintage, he can grow up so big, let alone decades. With that in mind, Wednesday cleared the dirt from the root block and put it in the inventory.

Of course, the stems and leaves were not spared. The stem of Polygonum multiflori, that is, rattan is also called nightshade vine, and it is also a good medicinal material. It's a pity that those leaves are smoked and blackened, and they can't be used anymore, otherwise they will be a medicinal herb.

"Ding: Gain Nightshade × 1, gathering proficiency +5. ”

"Ding: Gain Nightshade × 2 and gain +8 Gathering Proficiency. ”

Nightshade: Polygonum multiflorum stem, treatment of insomnia, strain, sweating, blood deficiency and body pain, carbuncle, scrofula, wind sores and scabies, can be used as medicine, grade C. With such a large mass of He Shou Wu vine, Wednesday harvested 23 night vines, and the gathering proficiency continued to increase by almost 100 points. Coupled with the 50 points increased when collecting He Shou Wu, Wednesday's gathering proficiency exceeded 200 points again, and if he came back to 200 points, his collection proficiency could be upgraded again.

Seeing Wednesday's joyful harvest of these weed-like rattans, Margaret asked suspiciously, "Mr. Wednesday, is this also a medicinal herb?"

Wednesday nodded, "yes, and it's still a good thing," said with a smile: "I'll give you some after I concoct it, haha, you can beautify your face." ”

"Well, this is what you collected yourself, Mr. Wednesday," Margaret shook her head, "and I'll be satisfied if I can collect enough ginseng." ”

"Okay," Wednesday shrugged, "don't think too much about it, ginseng is there, but you have to be patient, if you can't calm down, maybe you will miss it even if you encounter ginseng." ”

Margaret nodded ashamedly, "Then when are we going to continue?"

Wednesday saw that this He Shou Wu had almost tossed, and waved his hand: "This continues." ”

The collection proficiency has been upgraded, and you can continue to practice your skills on Wednesday, anyway, there are a lot of medicinal materials in the forest, whether they are valuable or not, they are easy to collect on Wednesday, if it is really not of much value, throw it away and continue, anyway, his main purpose is to practice the collection proficiency.

"Come, come on, come on, Mr. Wednesday, I've found another one," Margaret, who was ten meters away, suddenly jumped up and shouted excitedly.

Wednesday ran over to take a look, it was indeed a ginseng, and after carefully digging it out, I found that it was an old ginseng, and the ginseng was forty or fifty years old.

"Ding: Obtain 1 × of wild ginseng, and gain +22 in gathering proficiency. ”

Wild ginseng: Panaxaceae, ginseng, perennial herbaceous plant, flat in nature, sweet in taste, slightly bitter, slightly warm, return to the spleen, lung meridian, heart meridian, greatly replenish vitality, restore the pulse and strengthen the body, nourish the spleen and lungs, quench thirst, calm the nerves and intellectuals, ginseng age 53 years, grade B.

Fifty-three years old, Margaret's luck is really good, Wednesday muttered in her heart, with a smile on her face: "Yes, this is an old mountain ginseng, much better than the first one, put it away." ”

Margaret nodded excitedly, wrapped up this ginseng plant as if it were a treasure, and then happily continued to search.

By the time it got dark, Margaret dug up two more ginseng plants, both of which were only a dozen years old, but it was clear that this was a good sign. Instead, he returned empty-handed on Wednesday. In fact, it can't be regarded as empty-handed, although he didn't collect ginseng, but he collected a lot of other medicinal materials, such as astragalus, schisandra, etc., if you count the A-grade Polygonum multiflorum that he dug up, in fact, his harvest is the biggest. As for ginseng, it's also a good thing, but it's clear that wild ginseng here isn't too scarce, so there's no need to worry about not being able to collect it.

Sure enough, early the next morning, just after Wednesday, I came across a ginseng plant, which is 38 years old, which is also a good thing. If it is placed on the earth, it is easy to sell 180,000 yuan, and if you meet a big customer, it is not impossible to sell more. It's a pity that no one in this world uses Chinese medicine, and so many good medicines have been wasted in vain.

After two more days in the mountains, Margaret had collected twelve ginseng plants, several of which were collected in a small area, and the years were not short, the shortest was thirty years. This good fortune made Wednesday a little jealous, and the people he had collected from beginning to end had only five of them, not even half of Margaret's.

"Mr. Wednesday, shall we go back?" Margaret asked Wednesday on the morning of the seventh day after entering the mountain, after packing up the tent.

"Whatever you want," Wednesday shrugged, he had only been on a mission, hoping to return sooner rather than later to complete it. However, if he stays in the mountains for a few more days, he has no opinion, and it is not without gain anyway.

After this week, in addition to getting five ginseng plants, twelve pieces of He Shou Wu honey and one piece of He Shou Wu on Wednesday, the biggest gain was the improvement of his "Mixed Yuan Jin" proficiency, internal force value, health value, and proficiency of "internal strength cultivation".

The proficiency of "Mixed Yuan Jin" has maintained a speed increase of about 100 points in one night, and it has been 786 points in seven days, while the internal force and health points are 359 and 193 points respectively, and the internal strength cultivation has also increased to 248 points.

The changes in these attributes do not seem to have changed in quality, but compared to the state of seven days ago, they are already a world of difference. In particular, the increase in the internal force value directly increased Wednesday's combat effectiveness significantly. Wednesday with internal force and without internal force, the difference in combat effectiveness is not half a point. Wednesday, who has no internal strength, can only bully those unarmed ordinary people at most, but with these more than three hundred points of internal strength, Wednesday dares to fight two or three junior swordsmen alone.

The two men were very brisk when they went out of the mountain, and they walked half the way in the day, and in the evening they found a sheltered place to camp, and on Wednesday they set up camp, and Margaret shot a roe deer and took it to the creek to strip it.

As soon as the tent was set up, Wednesday suddenly heard Margaret let out a terrifying scream, and quickly turned his head, only to see a silver-gray giant wolf pounce on Margaret from behind, open its mouth and bite her neck.

Wednesday reflexively grabbed a broadsword, rushed out in two steps, and then used all his strength to throw the broadsword in his hand. Then he watched as the broadsword flew towards the silver-gray giant wolf with a whining sound of breaking through the air.

The giant wolf seemed to sense the broadsword thrown by Wednesday, but it also seemed to be confident in its own defenses, so it just bit at Margaret's body, not caring about the broadsword thrown by Wednesday.
