Chapter 8 Improvement

The pill itself was not poisonous, so Xu Mo just had to let the black balls spit them out, just now when he was checking the surrounding environment, he had seen a few Li Lu trees in the grass, which were good emetic herbs.

His body was still extremely weak, and by the time he hurriedly searched for a few Li Lu roots and a few other medicinal herbs and hid in another cave, he was already dizzy from exhaustion.

There was no time to concoct the medicinal materials carefully, he used the simplest method of extracting the juice, and laboriously collected a small bowl of medicinal juice to feed the black ball to serve, but it did not appreciate it, sniffed it and hid aside.

Xu Mo smelled it, a bitter fragrance of grass and trees, not unpleasant, quite fresh, and didn't dare to continue to delay, so he poured it down, but he didn't expect it to spit out all the medicinal juice that was poured down, not only that, but after spitting it out, he hid his mouth under his stomach, hugged it with his paws, and stood up, the meaning of refusal was too obvious.

At this time, I looked closely at the black ball, and found that its eyes were as confused as before, the temperature of the skin on the stomach did not rise, the heartbeat was also very stable, and it squeaked and drank water as usual, and it didn't look like "poisoned" no matter how it looked.

Could it be that its body could withstand the power of the pill?

Xu Mo knows that animals have an ability: to eat only what they need and can eat. The black ball lives in the wild and sometimes uses herbs as food, and he can't help but guess that it may have eaten the herbs contained in the pills, so he will only eat them when he smells them.

Of course, animals and humans have different body structures and different living habits, so maybe the medicinal herbs that are useful to humans are just ordinary food.

In short, it's always good that it's not poisoned, and he can deal with his own problems: the headache has once again intensified to an unbearable degree.

He also had black ointment, but this time he didn't plan to use it, but directly visualized the black toad diagram to try, and before entering the visualization state, he placed the black ball on his chest, and once it was uncomfortable to move, he could feel it for the first time.

At this time, he had a headache and could hardly think about anything, but visualizing the picture of the black toad was not affected much, he felt that his consciousness was gradually integrated into the black toad's body in the painting, and the pain was little by little.

Worried about the black ball and his own safety, after feeling that the headache had been greatly reduced, Xu Mo let himself wake up from his vision.

The moment he woke up, it seemed that all the pain had left him, but he soon found that it was just a good wish, and the pain was still there, but it was within the tolerable range for the time being.

Xu Mo was already very satisfied with this.

Judging from Liu Changsheng's method of collecting the map and his own feelings, the value of this picture should be the greatest, and now there is little understanding of it, and as his understanding deepens, he believes that he will be able to find a cure for his headache.

Looking at the black ball again, he was sleeping with his limbs curled up in a ball at this time, and it seemed that the pill really had no effect on him.

He didn't know if anyone had found Liu Changsheng's body now, but he couldn't stay here for a long time, so he cleaned up and simply covered up the traces left behind before walking out of the cave, thinking about it, and deciding to head west.

The difficulty of the mountain trail, combined with the weakness of his body, greatly limited his speed, and it was about two hours before he crossed the hill in front of him, at which point he had to stop, because the headache had been getting worse, and it was already unbearable.

I spent another time visualizing the black toad diagram, and then continued walking after waking up.

It was dark early in the mountains, and although the sun was still high at this time, he also began to pay attention to the places to gather food and spend the night at night, which was not difficult for him, who was already very experienced: there were pine trees everywhere, and when he walked on the road, he could pick up a lot of pine cones that had not been gnawed by squirrels, and many wild fruits, which were basically dry, but they could also be eaten or used as spices, especially when he walked through a depression, he found a dense bamboo forest, and it didn't take much effort to dig up two bamboo shoots in it.

He also found a bamboo rat hole, and if his strength and time permitted, he would definitely be able to catch a fat bamboo rat from it, which was obviously impossible now, so when he found a cave to rest in the evening, his food was only bamboo shoots, pine nuts, and dried fruits.

In fact, it is already very rich, the pine nuts are full and oily, they are very delicious when eaten raw, a little roasted is crispy and fragrant, the bamboo shoots with the skin are put into the dead fire and roasted slowly, after the burnt skin is removed, the meat inside is white and tender and juicy, and then dipped in some fruit puree, the taste is richer.

He and Blackball, one man and one beast, sat by the fire and ate as much as they could, and soon ate them all.

The black ball rummaged through the residue, and found nothing to eat, so he slowly crawled into Xu Mo's clothes and prepared to sleep, but when Xu Mo put a few hot stones into the bamboo tube to boil water, the sweet and sour aroma of dried fruits and the fragrance of bamboo attracted it again, and he pulled his clothes and exposed his head.

After drinking the fruit tea, it can be said that he is full of food and drink, and Xu Mo can finally calm down and think about the current situation.

Today he has not found that there are chasing soldiers behind him, now that he thinks about it, there are many people in Changqiao Town, but there are few people in the southern mountains, and those who want to bargain in the morning may have accomplices, but when they see the bodies of several people, they probably do not dare to continue the chase, and they will also delay the discovery of Liu Changsheng's body.

Then, even if they find out, it will take a period of reaction time from discovery, reporting to chasing the culprit, and it is in the mountains, finding a person is almost equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack, as long as he is careful, the probability of being found is very low.

In the next step, he plans to leave Shengyun Mansion, and then find a suitable identity, basically be able to separate from this experience and start a new life - this matter, it was not him who was wrong from beginning to end, and now he has to hide in Tibet, all because he is too weak!

He took out the copy of "Mixed Yuan Jin" and put it in front of the fire and studied it carefully.

In fact, among the three things left by Liu Changsheng, the black toad picture should be the most precious, but it is only one page, and all the information is hidden in the painting, which is not as reliable for him as the complete "Mixed Yuan Jin".

"Mixed Yuan Jin" is only a thin thirty-seven pages, including a general outline, but it explains the five levels of cultivation very clearly, generally speaking, it is divided into five layers: meat refining, blood refining, bone refining, tendon refining, and marrow refining, each layer has cultivation patterns, methods, and auxiliary drugs that are used together, and what Liu Changsheng left behind is the "strong tendon powder" required by the fourth layer.

Putting down the cheats, Xu Mo groaned in his heart, he knew that although every step of this booklet was clear and simple, there would definitely be various problems in actual cultivation, in his previous life, he had seen some people who practiced martial arts fall ill because of their cultivation of the law, and it would definitely be difficult for him to explore it by himself.

In the future, he may be able to find an opportunity to join the sect, but that is later, whether he can join or not is not said - with his current physical condition, the situation is not optimistic, and there is an opportunity to increase his strength in front of him, he must seize it, so he added a new task for himself: collecting information about martial arts.

Of course, the next time can't be wasted, and he can completely cultivate some of the previous easy-to-understand parts.

So in the next two days, Heiqiu could always see Xu Mo making all kinds of strange movements, and such movements often made his face full of pain, and he tried it, and there was no difficulty at all......

Xu Mo also has no way, these strange movements, some will exercise muscles that he couldn't even think of, and some will stretch his muscles and bones to the extreme, for him, each one is uncomfortable, but after practicing for a few days in a row, he found that his body seemed to be "liberated", and he walked a lot lighter.

Of course, climbing the mountain every day, coupled with cultivation, the burden on the body is not ordinarily large, at this time the bottle of "strong tendons" played a role, to be honest, it is a very luxurious behavior to use at this stage, but good things have good results, in just a few days, he felt that the injuries on his body were accelerating recovery.

As his body improved, Xu Mo found that his spirit was also improving, which manifested in the increased duration of delayed headaches and his ability to endure headaches - I am afraid that just visualizing the black toad diagram would not be able to do this.

To this day, he doesn't care about the affairs of Longbridge Town anymore, but visualizing the black toad diagram makes him feel inconvenient: every time he has a headache, he has to stop and find a place to visualize.

This is not only inconvenient, but sometimes dangerous: if he hadn't woken up in time last time, I'm afraid that the half-grown wolf cub approaching him would have pounced, and he wouldn't be able to escape from the wolves!

If you don't solve this problem, it will be a problem later.

He remembered that in his previous life, he had a way to walk on piles, and maybe he could try to visualize it while walking?

Before resting at night, he tried to practice and felt a little, but when he was on the road the next day, he couldn't get into the state of visualization.

It wasn't until five days later that he entered the visualization when he walked on a slightly flat stretch of riverbank: this walking visualization was not the same as usual, his eyes could see the road, his ears could hear, but his consciousness entered another heaven and earth, merged with the black toad, and was in a state of silence.

There are pros and cons to this state, for example, he clearly saw that there was a mountain wall in front of him and should have avoided it, but he still hit it headlong.
