Chapter 175: Medicated Bath

()

"Girl...."

Lin Chen had an exclamation in his heart, and then he was awakened by the previous dream, but when he was just about to open his eyes and check the environment he was in, a feeling of extreme dizziness suddenly came from his mind.

This extremely strong feeling of nausea reminded him of what he had encountered in the Yilou trial before.

Almost subconsciously, Lin Chen wanted to raise his right hand, but found that his body was difficult to move at all, or that it was difficult for him to control his current body.

And under his sudden movement, there was also a sharp pain from all parts of his body, directly impacting his newly recovered consciousness, and finally under the dual effect of extreme dizziness and pain, Lin Chen fell into a coma again.

It's just that unlike before, this coma may just be an instinctive protective behavior of his own body, in order to eliminate the dizziness that has always appeared in Lin Chen's mind and reduce the burden on Lin Chen's body.

So although he was also in a coma this time, Lin Chen did not lose his sense of the outside world, his body's sense of touch and smell were still not affected, and even his thinking consciousness was very clear.

However, later, Lin Chen found that in this state, he was not able to perceive his current physical condition as he thought.

However, he found another thing, and that was that he could clearly feel anything that was going on outside, and although these were only feelings, they were enough for him to understand his environment.

Lin Chen could feel that he was lying flat now, and the ground under him was not hard and damp or overgrown with weeds, but it was very flat and a little soft.

There is also a warm and soft cotton sheet on him, Lin Chen can smell the faint cotton fragrance on it, and in the air that fills the surroundings, in addition to a unique fragrance of trees, there is also a very familiar smell of fireworks in Lin Chen.

Lin Chen, who was in a coma, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because judging from these signs, he was not in a deserted place, but had been rescued by someone and was now in a house.

But not long after, Lin Chen suddenly found that the smell in the air had changed somewhat, although the smell of fireworks still existed, but in it, several faint smells of medicinal herbs began to appear, and it became stronger and stronger.

Just when Lin Chen was puzzled, many chaotic footsteps began to appear around him, mixed with the voices of some men and women, old and young, who seemed to be arguing about something.

"You all give me peace, and quickly carry people to me here."

However, just after a few breaths, under a slightly hoarse voice, the quarrel that Lin Chen felt also stopped, and his surroundings also returned to quiet.

However, it didn't take long for Lin Chen to suddenly notice that his body was moving by someone, and then he felt that his body seemed to be put into a warm hot spring, and his body was full of warmth.

At the same time, an extremely strong smell of medicinal herbs also appeared, and without giving Lin Chen any psychological preparation, it rushed straight to his head.

Feeling that the environment around him had changed, and there was also an obvious smell of medicinal herbs, Lin Chen's heart was suddenly shocked.

After all, he is still in a coma, and he doesn't know the situation outside, he can only judge by his own feelings, and no one knows if these people really have good intentions for him.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt wisps of gelatinous material appear from the warmth around him, and surrounded his body.

After a few breaths, the tiny gelatinous substance began to cling to the surface of his skin, and little by little penetrated into his body, spreading throughout his body, and finally all over his body.

And seventy percent of these gelatinous substances were evenly absorbed by Lin Chen's flesh and blood in the process of diffusion, turning into a part of his body.

At the same time, in the remaining three percent of the airflow, two percent of them appeared in his meridians and dantian, and finally merged into the meridians and dantian, and the remaining one percent turned in a direction and went towards his mind.

When these gelatinous substances seeped into Lin Chen's body, he could feel every trace of flesh and blood in his body with a feeling of hunger and thirst, constantly absorbing these sudden air currents, as if these air currents had unimaginable allure.

And in the next period of time, Lin Chen could feel a slight coolness appear everywhere in his body and in his mind.

This trace of coolness not only drove away a lot of pain from his body, but even the dizziness that had always occupied his mind was also reduced a lot.

Driven by curiosity, Lin Chen began to carefully feel and observe this gelatinous substance, and finally discovered that these gelatinous substances were actually formed by the fusion of the medicinal effects of nearly a hundred different medicinal materials.

Moreover, most of the medicinal materials in them were medicinal materials with good healing effects, as for the remaining ones, they were relatively ordinary medicinal materials, and in Lin Chen's opinion, they didn't even feel any effect.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Chen already knew what he was experiencing now, if what he expected was right, this was a kind of healing method that had the same root as the alchemy method, but it was a more special healing method-medicinal bath.

In fact, the medicinal bath is not only a special method of healing, but also a method of extracting the medicinal power of medicinal materials that is different from the method of alchemy.

Moreover, the method of medicinal baths has been passed down for a long time, and in the cultivation world before the appearance of the method of alchemy, the most important method used by all practitioners, whether it is their own cultivation or the recuperation of injuries, is the method of medicinal baths.

However, the number of medicinal materials required for each medicinal bath method is very large, and many of them are non-medicinal materials that are used to match other major medicinal materials.

When cultivating and healing, practitioners often need to spend a lot of time to prepare, and when they are ready, they need to be heated with a constant flame so that the medicinal effects of each of these herbs can be stimulated.

Therefore, its disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, it takes too long, from the preparation of various medicinal materials to the time required to heal injuries.

At the root, the method of alchemy is actually born from the method of medicinal bath, but even so, it has a relationship with the method of medicinal bath.

Because in the early stage of learning the method of alchemy, that is, the alchemist is commonly referred to, it can be said that there is a common denominator between the two.

However, after the alchemy method officially appeared, although it took a certain amount of time to refine a pill, after refining it, it was better than the medicinal bath method in terms of preservation and medicinal effect.

This is one of the reasons why in the current cultivation world, it is rare to see people who use the method of medicinal baths to heal and practice.

Comparatively speaking, the elixir is undoubtedly the best choice, but it needs to be stored in a few small bottles, and it can be placed in a storage bag, and when it encounters danger, it only needs to be taken out to heal the wounds, and it can also allow the cultivator not to be too distracted and maintain the state of fighting.

Therefore, the method of medicinal bathing was naturally eliminated in the cultivation world, so that many practitioners today are unaware of the existence of this cultivation method.

However, if we talk about the other aspect of the two, the method of medicinal bath pays more attention to timeliness, that is, the immediate effect of the medicine, which is a method to reduce the impact of the medicinal power on the human body from the outside in, so that the practitioner can absorb the medicinal effect in the medicinal materials.

Therefore, this method of absorption from the outside in will start from the practitioner's skin to penetrate, and then further strengthen the absorption efficiency of the medicinal effect through the flesh and blood, and finally it will naturally allow the practitioner to use it.

Moreover, in the method of medicinal baths, whether it is an ordinary medicinal material, a relatively rare and expensive elixir, or a medicinal material whose medicinal effect exceeds the limit of what the human body can bear, as long as the large number of medicinal materials required is gathered, the milder method of medicinal bath can be used to greatly reduce the impact of the medicinal power and allow the practitioner to absorb it.

The method of alchemy pays more attention to the preservation and continuity of the medicinal effect, and it is a method of absorbing the medicinal effect from the inside out.

There are many types of elixirs refined by the method of alchemy, and at the same time, they are also more powerful than the method of medicinal baths in terms of medicinal efficacy, but it is precisely because of this that in addition to some healing pills, each elixir used to improve cultivation needs to have a specific cultivation realm before it can be consumed.

Once you take the pill beyond your own realm, the foundation will be damaged, and the meridians and dantian will be damaged, and the cultivation will be completely wasted, and the body will die violently.

In this way, it is difficult for even a high-level alchemist in the cultivation world to say which is higher or lower between the two.

But with Lin Chen's current situation, using the medicinal bath method is undoubtedly the most correct choice.
