In the early morning of the third day, Zhenjin slowly woke up.
There was peace.
He had a good rest last night. There was no longer a dry and hard stone floor under his body, but a layer of fluffy and dry branches and leaves.
This was picked up specially for Zhenjin by Zidi.
Thinking of his fiancée, Zhen Jin felt warm in his heart.
But Zidi is not nearby.
Thinking of last night before going to bed, Zidi had suggested to Zhen Jin: take some of Zhen Jin's blood and check whether there is still fire poison remaining in it. If possible, it might be possible to distinguish Zhen Jin's true cultivation level.
Zhenjin agreed.
"This girl... won't she not have a rest all night?" Zhen Jin's face darkened slightly, and she felt worried in her heart.
Although he was asleep, he was very confident - if there was any movement around him, he would notice it immediately.
Zhen Jin looked at the hay shop on the other side. It was very fluffy and there was no trace of oppression at all. Zhen Jin was very sure that Zidi did not fall asleep here last night.
After she went deep into the cave, she never came out again.
Zhenjin stood up and went deep into the cave.
Zidi made arrangements deep in the cave, forming a temporary place for dispensing medicine.
During the two days that Zhenjin was resting, she rarely went out. Even if she went out, it was only near the cave. Most of the time, apart from taking care of Zhenjin, she was tinkering with her potions in the cave.
Zhen Jin walked into the cave and as expected saw Zidi sitting cross-legged among the pits.
These pits are large or small. The large pits contain a lot of processed blood, bones, furs, etc. of beasts. The small pits contain various potions, like a colorful miniature dyeing workshop.
"Sir, are you awake?" Upon hearing the noise, Zidi turned back and glanced at Zhenjin, but did not get up. She kept moving in her hands, still arranging potions.
"Please forgive me for being rude, sir, I am preparing a potion." Zidi shook the glass bottle in her hand, and at the same time, she kept twisting the fingers of her other hand, sprinkling out the ingredients like sand.
This glass bottle is only the size of an adult's finger, and the medicine inside seems to be bear blood, which appears dark red.
Ingredients as finely divided as sand were blended into the potion and adhered to the inner wall of the glass bottle.
Zidi stared closely at the glass bottle, sometimes adding more sand, sometimes scooping some bear blood from the holes on the ground and adding it.
In the end, it seemed that a certain balance was reached, and the sand particles attached to the inside of the glass bottle completely melted away, and not a single one existed.
Zidi nodded slightly, and then she put the cork on the reagent glass bottle in her hand with satisfaction and placed it on the wooden shelf on the other side.
This wooden frame was roughly built from a few dead branches, and was almost filled with glass bottles.
Zhen Jin saw that these glass bottles were full of game potions, and couldn't help but ask: "So, you have been preparing this potion all night? Is it really okay to be so tired?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir." Zidi smiled and immediately explained, "If you don't prepare it, the bear blood will lose its effectiveness. These are all good materials. It's a pity that I don't have enough refining tools in my hands now.
It’s too luxurious and wasteful to grow silver-level bear blood just to prepare game potions!”
Most magic materials have a time limit. After the time limit, the value of the materials will be greatly reduced.
Zhenjin nodded and recognized Zidi's efforts: "Thank you for your hard work."
As he spoke, he looked at these glass bottles, unable to move his eyes.
Very strange.
He seemed to feel the sweet smell in the glass bottle, and felt an urge to drink the bear's blood from the deepest part of his heart.
"Am I too hungry?" Zhen Jin immediately suppressed this strange feeling.
To be honest, he had not eaten a full meal during the past two days of rest. Although he knew that he was recovering well, he still carefully controlled his food intake.
"In this way, the bear blood and leopard blood have been used up. The next step is to process the meat." Zidi licked her dry lips. She had been working here for a long time, and her forehead was covered with sweat stains.
Zi Di took out a piece of animal meat from the pit, covered the meat with a layer of green and yellow herbs, then took out a small tube of medicine from the leather bag and poured it slowly.
This potion does not come in a glass bottle, but seems to be made of dark ironwood.
Only a small amount of the liquid poured down, but it quickly spread and penetrated, creating a pungent smell.
呲呲呲……
After a slight corroding sound, the originally plump animal meat became extremely dry.
Zidi stretched out her hand to tear open the dried meat, and then continued to ravage it. The dried meat first turned into strips of shredded meat, and then was squeezed into a ball of meat floss.
In the past two days, apart from dry food, Zhen Jin's most abundant food was this kind of meat floss.
They didn't light a fire.
On the one hand, they were taught by the blood and tears of the Fire Venom Bee, which made them very cautious about lighting fires.
On the other hand, it is inconvenient to light a fire in a cave, which can easily cause oxygen loss, smoke pollution, and even poisoning.
Although the meat floss processed in this way is extremely unpalatable, it retains nutrients and kills bacteria and toxins that may be present in the flesh.
"These are all good magic materials. If you put them outside, they can be sold for a lot of gold coins. It's such a pity. Even if you give me the most ordinary crucible now, it will be good!"
While dealing with it, Zidi shook her head, expressing her extreme regret.
Zhen Jin smiled. Instead of persuading Zidi to rest after working hard all night, he sat cross-legged next to Zidi and said, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Zidi smiled: "Since you said so, I won't be polite to you."
Next, Zi Di only mastered the subtle work of pouring the medicine, while Zhen Jin took the complicated task of tearing the dried meat and turning it into floss.
The two divided labor and cooperated, and their efficiency immediately increased.
While working together, Zhen Jin was embarrassed to find that the urine and feces he had excreted over the past few days were stored in several pits in the corner.
"Studying these will allow me to detect your physical condition, sir." Zidi said calmly, "But it is a pity that I cannot detect your true strength, sir."
"One more thing, I also want to use analysis to reproduce the medicine that was used to heal the adults at that time. If it is really my medicine that healed the adults' injuries, then the value of this medicine formula will be great!"
"With such a research attitude, do you really deserve to be a mage?" Zhen Jin murmured in his heart, but he acknowledged it, "You are doing the right thing. Is there anything to gain?"
Zidi sighed and said with a slightly gloomy expression: "The situation was very urgent at that time, and I acted based on intuition on some key steps. I couldn't even estimate the ratio of each medicinal material at that time. If I want to completely reproduce the medicine at that time, is it necessary?
It's possible. I can only do my best."
"However, I have other gains. I used bear blood and ores to prepare two potions, one that can support combustion and one that can retard fire."
Zhenjin nodded. After he helped Zidi dispose of all the animal meat, he patted Zidi on the shoulder and suggested, "Let's eat some together."
The two of them ate some dry food, freshly prepared meat floss, and water together.
The water is warm.
Although the two didn't make a fire, they could rely on the ore for heat.
In such an environment and condition, drinking a sip of warm water can bring people the greatest comfort. When the warm water flows through the throat and falls into the belly, the person's entire soul seems to have been gently soothed from top to bottom.
There is plenty of food now, but not much water. Both of them are very economical. After drinking a few water, Zhenjin said: "Tell me about you, Zidi."
Zidi nodded: "Sir, I am your fiancée, there is no doubt about it."
"So, which family are you a member of? Where is the family territory?"
Zidi smiled bitterly: "Sir, you overestimate me. I am not a noble, I am just a businessman. My family has been in business for generations."
"Oh?" Zhen Jin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, this answer was a bit beyond his expectation.
The marriage partners of nobles are almost always nobles.
Some nobles even married relatives to keep their bloodline pure.
"So, some kind of superior bloodline has awakened in you?" Zhenjin asked again.
This is also possible.
Although nobles only have one wife, they usually have a lot of lovers, so there are also many illegitimate children.
It is difficult to confirm the true bloodline just by looking at the family tree.
In history, there is no lack of a certain lower-class noble with a strong upper-class bloodline, and even a commoner's children suddenly burst out with amazing potential. After tracing back to the source, you will find that his bloodline comes from a certain upper-class noble.
Often these people with strong bloodlines will be recruited by nobles and incorporated into their own families.
But Zidi shook her head again, showing a hint of bitterness: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, sir. My bloodline is mediocre. In fact, being able to reach the black iron level has almost exhausted my potential.
.”
"I am not a noble, and there are no nobles in my ancestors. My father was the previous president of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, and now it is my turn to take charge of the entire chamber of commerce."
"Wisteria Chamber of Commerce? The name sounds familiar...wait, is it?"
