Chapter 17 Ziying Cockscomb Grass

Chapter 17 Purple Ying Cockscomb

Xu Hong was stunned.

After several days of research, he knew that the longevity chart in his mind, whether it was a person or an animal, could not show the lifespan without knowing the name. However, at this time, it showed the decay of the other person's lifespan, which showed how terrible the rate of reduction was.

Deducted for 10 days at a time, if it were me, I would be lying on the ground in a few seconds, waiting for others to eat... But this person seemed to have no idea.

Soon, my eyes fell on the plant. It was as bright as ever, as if it had just been picked... It seemed that this was the problem.

I didn't want to take care of it, so I hesitated for a moment and walked over. Before I could reach him, I was blocked by a middle-aged guard.

Xu Hong stopped, looked at the old man, and said: "Senior, the medicinal plant in your hand seems to be poisonous. I think it's best to put it away instead of holding it in your hand..."

The old man, who was originally expressionless and calm, immediately showed a hint of surprise when he heard this.

The middle-aged guard who stopped Xu Hong released his blocking arm and flashed a hint of excitement: "Do you know this medicine?"

Xu Hong shook his head, "I don't know it, I just think this thing is dead but not stiff, extremely bright, and a little weird..."

"this……"

The middle-aged guard looked disappointed again and turned to look at the old man.

The old man looked over and said: "This [Purple Ying Cockscomb] is indeed poisonous, and the toxicity is not small. You can tell this just by looking at the appearance. It seems that my little friend has a good understanding of medicine...

…”

His voice is gentle and calm, giving people a sense of calmness and calmness, which is very comfortable in the ears.

"Just talking nonsense!"

After saying what needed to be said, he didn't care what the other party's decision was. He hugged his fists and wanted to leave. He found a counter to buy medicinal materials when the middle-aged guard's voice sounded again.

"You can tell at a glance that this thing is poisonous, then... does this little brother know where in the Yundang Mountains is suitable for the growth of this medicinal material?"

Xu Hong looked strange, "Well... you can just ask the pickers, right?"

Since the medicine has been picked, the people who picked it will definitely know where it grew.

Before the middle-aged guard could answer, the old man shook his head and said: "The person who picked this medicinal plant was poisoned and fell into a coma before he could say anything... I only know that it was picked in the Yundang Mountains. The specific location is not clear.

Got it!"

Xu Hong suddenly realized.

Yundang Mountain stretches for more than 3,000 miles, with countless peaks and valleys. Without knowing the specific location, it is almost impossible to find the place where a medicinal plant grows...

Just when I was about to tell the other person that it was my first time seeing him, and he didn't know where it grew, suddenly, an idea came to me.

If you know the names of people and animals, you can use the longevity chart to find out basic information such as lifespan... What about plants?

They are alive too! Perhaps, they can also be explored.

I had never thought of this before and never paid attention to it.

With a thought in his heart, he immediately mobilized the Immortality Chart and looked over.

Sure enough, a few lines of writing emerged.

Purple Ying Cockscomb: a medicinal material growing in Luoyun Gorge in Yundang Mountains.

Attribute: wood.

Lifespan: 121 years/121 years.

Efficacy: Highly toxic, combined with poplar flowers, it can be turned into a tonic.

It really works!

It's just slightly different from humans and animals, replacing "cultivation" with "attribute" and "practice" with "efficacy".

These thoughts flashed through his mind. When he saw the old man and the middle-aged guard, there was expectation in their eyes. They didn't even care about the shortened life span. Xu Hong hesitated and said: "According to my guess, Luoyun Gorge in Yundang Mountain should be able to

Growth, of course, I am just guessing without any basis..."

He didn't say die.

In this way, even if the other party finds out that it is true, at most he will think that his guess is accurate and will not doubt it too much.

"Luoyun Gorge?"

The old man was stunned.

The middle-aged guard hurriedly took out the jade box, put the medicinal materials into it, and at the same time took out a map and handed it over.

It is the topographic map of the Yundang Mountains.

This thing is very precious, and only one is hung in the meeting hall of Xujiazhuang.

The old man searched above, and stopped after a moment. His eyes became brighter and brighter, and his expression was no longer as cold as before, but showed a hint of excitement.

"The peaks on the south side are towering, blocking the sun, and there is a lake in the north, which is cold and humid, with shrubs growing in the middle... It is indeed suitable for the growth of Cockscomb Grass. Yes, if there is such a medicine in Yundang Mountain, it will definitely be here..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Xu Hong and said, "Thank you, little friend, for telling me that I can solve the problem of the person in my dream with just one sentence. I wonder if you have some free time..."

Xu Hong quickly waved his hand and said: "I am just making random guesses, senior, there is no need to be polite."

I helped the other person because he had extraordinary bearing, but his lifespan was constantly decreasing. I reminded him kindly and had no intention of repaying him.

Besides, when socializing with others, how can there be a better way to experiment with gas-enhancing liquid?

In his lifetime, he is no longer allowed to go out to drink or eat...

"this……"

The middle-aged guard stared in disbelief.

When I saw the other person talking deliberately, I thought he meant to make friends and did it deliberately. After all, I have seen this kind of thing too many times in the past few years... Now it seems that this is not the case.

Otherwise... the master personally invites me, who can refuse?

"Well……"

A trace of surprise also flashed in the old man's eyes, but he did not continue to say anything more.

Not knowing what they were thinking, Xu Hong nodded, took a step forward, came to the counter, and handed over the prescription, "Shopkeeper, according to the medicinal materials here, you can get enough for 16 taels of silver!"

"okay!"

The shopkeeper took it, took a look, and saw that his store had them all. He immediately responded and started to grab the medicine.

16 taels is equivalent to 16,000. In ordinary business, it is considered a big order.

"Master, since we know where the medicinal materials are grown, let's go..."

The middle-aged guard bowed.

Before he finished speaking, he saw the master looking forward with a strange look in his eyes. The middle-aged guard was slightly confused. When his eyes fell on the medicinal materials grabbed by the shopkeeper, he was also stunned.

"master……"

The old man smiled, "Did you see it?"

The guard nodded: "Yes!"

Smiling again, the old man looked at the young man not far away.

He helps others without taking credit, has a deep understanding of the medicinal properties of medicinal materials, but is not at all arrogant or complacent... No matter where you look at it, this sixteen-year-old boy is different from others.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but said: "Hangu grass, costus flower, green leaf seeds, Yunmuqi... My little friend, are you going to prepare a Qi-enhancing liquid?"

Xu Hong was stunned, "Senior, do you also know about this?"

The old man smiled and said: "I have always been with medicinal materials. If there is Qi-enhancing liquid in Jiyuan City, I will naturally go and take a look... However, only alchemists can refine this thing. Do you want to learn it? I have heard that this

It’s very difficult to get started in this profession without a teacher!”

Xu Hong was embarrassed, "I went to buy Qi-enhancing liquid, but I couldn't wait in line, so I had to buy some medicinal materials and try it myself..."

The old man: "You can't experiment with medicinal materials indiscriminately. Sometimes, too little is a great supplement, and too much can be extremely poisonous. Not to mention ordinary people, there are not a few alchemists who die every year due to errors in refining medicine.

The key is, I still can’t find out which step I did wrong... So, do you dare to try?"

Xu Hong nodded.

When others refine medicine, they can only test the efficacy after waiting for the finished product. At this time, it is either this or that, which has become a fixed number and cannot be changed. But he has the longevity chart and can monitor it in real time. Once an error is discovered, he can change it immediately.

...No need to worry at all.

Not knowing what he was thinking, the old man showed a look of praise and said: "Yes, you are courageous! Let's do it... After you prepare the medicinal solution, can you give me a copy? I am willing to exchange 50 medicinal materials for it!"

Xu Hong was puzzled, "I just randomly match up, I don't know if it will succeed..."

The old man smiled and said: "You told me where the purple cockscomb grows, but you are unwilling to accept the invitation. I can't accept favors in vain. No matter whether you succeed or not, I will invest in you!"

Seeing that his tone didn't sound like a joke, Xu Hong had no choice but to nod and said, "Thank you very much..."

After saying that, he looked at the counter and said, "Did you hear that? I'll pack another 50 copies and this old gentleman will pay the bill!"

"..."

The old man was stunned, and the smile instantly solidified on his face.

this……

You are so rude!
