In the central area of the inner city, there is a pharmacy on almost every street.
Some even have two or three drug stores open in succession.
Lin Zheyu visited several drug stores in succession and found out the prices of the medicinal materials needed for the Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction.
Songyicheng has been greatly affected by the war, and prices have skyrocketed. Nowadays, a pair of blood-reinforcing and bone-strengthening medicinal herbs costs twenty-two taels of silver.
When he was on the road, he rested in Wangshan City halfway and went to buy medicinal materials. A pair of medicinal materials for Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction cost about fourteen taels of silver.
In Bafang City, it only costs about nine taels of silver, which is much cheaper than Songyi City before the war.
After walking out of the drug store, Lin Zheyu continued walking forward.
Cross the street, turn left, walk forward for more than two hundred meters, and come to a large square.
The square is very lively with people coming and going.
Lin Zheyu crossed the square, came to the opposite side, and walked into Baochun Tower.
This medicine shop is the largest medicine shop in Bafang City and sells the most complete range of medicinal materials. Many rare medicinal materials can be purchased here.
While Lin Zheyu was buying the medicinal materials for the Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction, he also wanted to see if he could buy some rare medicinal materials that could be used to prepare the poisons and antidotes in the "Poison Codex".
"Sir, do you want to buy medicine or see a doctor?"
The shopkeeper came up to him and said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, please ask, how much silver will it cost to prepare all the medicinal materials above?"
Lin Zheyu handed over a piece of paper with various medicinal materials written on it and asked.
These medicinal materials not only include the medicinal materials of Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction, but also some that he plans to buy back to prepare poisons, powder, and several commonly used detoxification pills.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
The shopkeeper took the paper, took out the abacus and started calculating.
Bang bang bang——
He moved quickly, the abacus made a snapping sound, and not long after, the shopkeeper raised his head.
"This guest requires a total of eighteen taels of silver and three hundred and eighty-five cents, but I don't have sophora japonica or albizia wood."
"These two medicinal materials are controlled drugs and are prohibited from being sold," the shopkeeper said.
‘It’s pretty cheap.’
Lin Zheyu nodded slightly, a little surprised.
He thought that the medicinal materials in Baochun Tower would be a little more expensive than those in small pharmacies, but he didn't expect that they were not. They were almost the same as those in those small pharmacies, and even cheaper by about a tael of silver.
As for the unavailability of Sophora japonica and Albizia julibrissin, he was not surprised.
Of these two medicinal materials, one is highly poisonous, and the other is the main ingredient in making intoxicants and also has aphrodisiac effects. If they are released for sale, it will easily cause many problems.
If you want to buy these two medicinal materials, you can only buy them from herbal collectors or buy them on the black market.
Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and asked: "If I buy more at one time, how much discount can I get?"
"Sir, do you want to buy it to practice martial arts?"
"This should be the recipe for Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction. Although there are many irrelevant medicinal materials on it, most of the medicinal materials are the same as the recipe for Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction." The shopkeeper said.
"Oh?"
Lin Zheyu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper to recognize him.
As if he knew what Lin Zheyu was thinking, the shopkeeper added: "This recipe is widely circulated, and all the big pharmacies in the city know it."
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The price given to you is already the lowest price. You can go out and ask, it is the same price no matter where you go."
"What if I want to buy fifty pairs of medicinal materials for blood-replenishing and bone-strengthening soup at one time?" Lin Zheyu said.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked at Lin Zheyu with some surprise.
It is extremely rare to buy so many medicinal materials for Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction at one time. Most people buy two or three pairs, up to ten pairs, and buy again when they are used up.
"If you have fifty pairs, you can get a discount of 300 cents for each pair of medicinal materials. However, you cannot enjoy this discount for non-yixuezhuanggutang medicinal materials."
"Of course, if you plan to buy fifty copies of other medicinal materials, we can also give you a discount." The shopkeeper said.
"Don't use the others, you can't use that much."
Lin Zheyu shook his head, he pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if the shopkeeper has a prescription that is more powerful than the Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction?"
Since Baochunlou knows the recipe for Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction, he might also know some other tonic recipes.
"Your Majesty, you really asked the right person."
"In Bafang City, there are many martial arts decoctions that are widely circulated. Among them, there are three that are more powerful than the Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction."
"These three prescriptions are more powerful than Yixuezhuanggu Decoction, and they put a heavy burden on the body."
"Even warriors in the Qi and Blood realm don't dare to use it at will. Most warriors use it to break through the bottleneck when breaking through the realm."
The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Can you introduce it in detail?" Lin Zheyu asked curiously.
"Of course."
"Sir, please sit over here while Geng Li serves tea!"
"Wait here for a moment. The young lady will bring you a decoction made from three recipes for you to try."
The shopkeeper invited Lin Zheyu to the side hall and asked him to wait here for a while.
"It seems that there are many warriors like me. Baochun Tower has specially prepared medicinal soup for people to try."
Lin Zheyu said secretly.
After thinking about it, he understood various reasons.
As the most prosperous city in this area, Bafang City is located on a traffic artery, and almost all caravans coming and going pass through Bafang City.
Therefore, there are many caravans and travelers passing by here every day.
Among them, there must often be warriors from small places like Lin Zheyu who come to consult or buy great tonic prescriptions.
"Maybe we can gain a lot in Bafang City." Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
Not long after, the shopkeeper brought up three bowls of medicinal soup with a rich medicinal aroma on a tray.
Lin Zheyu sniffed his nose and smelled several medicinal herbs.
His research on medicine and poison is not very deep, and he can only identify three kinds of medicinal materials, but cannot distinguish the others.
The shopkeeper smiled slightly: "This bowl of medicinal soup is Chihuo Yangxue Powder, this bowl is Juyang Soup, and this bowl is Big Blood and Bone Strengthening Soup."
"The Dabuxue Zhuanggu Decoction was born out of the Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction. It is more powerful. Even warriors with three levels of qi and blood changes or above cannot use it for a long time and can only use it for a period of time when hitting bottlenecks."
"Juyang Decoction is an ancient prescription. The medicinal power can penetrate into the internal organs and bone marrow, and it can speed up the progress of your martial arts training.
However, the side effects are also great and it has an aphrodisiac effect. After taking it, it takes two to three hours to vent the evil fire.
If you use too much, it may lead to accumulation of poison and yang deficiency, and you need to use other prescriptions to regulate your body."
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "As for Chihuo Yangxue Powder, it is used to strengthen qi and blood, and its medicinal effect is the same as the blood-tonifying and bone-strengthening soup."
"However, compared with the blood-tonifying and bone-strengthening soup, Chihuo Yangxue Powder is more powerful. After drinking it, the body will feel like it is burning and the whole body will feel hot. This is why Chihuo got its name."
Lin Zheyu listened to the shopkeeper's introduction, picked up the medicinal soup, and fanned it with his hand. The aroma of the medicine hit his nose.
Just through the aroma of the medicine, you can feel the medicinal power contained in it, which is much stronger than the Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction.
"It's really good. I'll give it a try first."
Lin Zheyu picked up the Juyang soup. There was not much medicinal soup in the bowl, only about the amount of two small teacups.
The medicinal soup enters the abdomen, and a warm current overflows.
It is impossible to accurately identify the medicinal power of such a medicinal decoction.
However, people who practice martial arts often deal with various medicinal soups and medicinal materials, and through the medicinal soups, they can also get a rough idea.
Lin Zheyu tried them one by one and felt that the three Chinese medicinal decoctions were not very different, but the emphasis was different.
"I wonder what the price of each of these three prescriptions is?"
Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and asked.
Obviously this recipe cannot be given for free.
The shopkeeper is so active just to promote these three recipes.
"Not expensive, not expensive."
"The prescription of Chihuo Nourishing Powder is one hundred and twenty taels of silver, the prescription of Juyang Decoction is three hundred and eighty taels of silver, and the prescription of Big Blood and Bone Strengthening Decoction is two hundred and twenty taels of silver."
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The effect of Juyang Decoction is better and the mildest. As long as it is used in conjunction with Diyin Pills, the side effects can be minimized and it also has the effect of nourishing yin and strengthening yang."
"Dabuxue Zhuanggu Decoction is an enhanced version of Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction. It has relatively small side effects, but it cannot be used for a long time. It can only be used when the body cannot bear it and breaks through the bottleneck.
For long-term use, it is still recommended to combine Juyang Decoction with Diyin Pills, or Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction."
"As for Chihuo Yangxue Powder, this prescription is the most powerful, but the side effects are the biggest among the three. If used too much, it will cause fire poison to attack the heart. It can only be used to break through bottlenecks."
"If you are looking for a substitute for Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction, it is recommended that you use Juyang Decoction combined with Diyin Pills. When hitting bottlenecks, use Daxue Zhuanggu Decoction."
The shopkeeper smiled and said.
These prescriptions are known to almost everyone in Bafang City's local Qi and Blood Realm warriors, and only foreign warriors like Lin Zheyu have not heard of them.
However, he did not lie to deceive Lin Zheyu, deceiving a warrior who may be in the Qi and Blood realm, which is almost like seeking death.
Juyang Decoction combined with Diyin Pills is indeed a substitute for Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction. When hitting bottlenecks, many warriors use Daxue Zhuanggu Decoction.
However, these warriors are all civilian warriors without inheritance. Those powerful warriors have some secret tonic recipes that are more effective.
It's a pity that these recipes are not spread to other people.
The only ones that have been spread widely are these three prescriptions, as well as the nourishing blood and strong bone soup.
"I wonder how much silver is needed for each of these three prescriptions of medicinal materials?"
Lin Zheyu asked, this is what he cares about most.
If the price is affordable and the medicine is stronger, then it is indeed a good choice to replace Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction.
"Chihuo Nourishing Blood Powder costs 60 taels of silver, Juyang Decoction with Diyin Pills costs 150 taels of silver, and Big Blood and Bone Strengthening Decoction costs 180 taels of silver."
"Don't look at Juyang Decoction combined with Diyin Pills, and Daxuezhuanggu Decoction, which are more expensive, but their efficacy is much better than Chihuo Yangxue Powder."
"Although Chihuo Yangxue Powder is very powerful, the medicinal materials used contain the most fire poisons, which have serious side effects. If used for many years, the fire poisons will attack the heart."
The shopkeeper explained.
Although Chihuo Yangxue Powder is the cheapest, it also has the greatest side effects.
Only warriors who practice special skills will be interested in Red Fire Nourishing Powder.
However, they don’t just use Chihuo Yangxue Powder, they also use it in conjunction with a unique secret recipe to minimize the side effects of the medicinal soup.
"Bring me five doses of Chihuo Nourishing Powder, plus five doses of Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction. Give me five servings of each of the other medicinal materials recorded on the paper."
"I will try the medicine when I go back. If it works well, I will buy it again."
"Calculate how much it will cost."
Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and said.
If a few months ago, he was still drinking medicinal soup to absorb the power of medicine, he would still hesitate.
But now, Lin Zheyu can use the mysterious energy generated by Yuan Li to directly mobilize the medicinal power of the medicinal materials without drinking it into his stomach. There is no need to worry about the side effects of the medicinal soup.
Among these three medicinal materials, he just tried it briefly and felt that the potency of the medicine would not be much different.
But the focus is different.
If it is used for daily martial arts training, it is most suitable to use Juyang Decoction combined with Diyin Pills, which has the mildest potency and the lowest side effects.
However, Lin Zheyu does not use it for daily exercise. He does not use medicinal soup to assist his daily exercise. He only uses it when he uses the source of energy to increase.
Therefore, Lin Zheyu pays more attention to the price and cost-effectiveness of medicinal materials.
Obviously, from the price, it can be seen that Chihuo Yangxue Powder is the most cost-effective.
The price is so low only because the medicinal materials used are difficult to remove and have excessive side effects.
"Please wait."
The shopkeeper said with a smile, picked up the abacus and started to calculate, and soon came to the result: "The total is five hundred and nineteen taels, I can give you a discount, I will give you five hundred and fifteen taels of silver."
"Okay."
Lin Zheyu nodded.
Soon, he walked out of the medicine shop with the medicinal materials and the prescription of Chihuo Yangxue Powder.
After returning to the yard and confirming that no one was there, Lin Zheyu tapped his toes and jumped into the yard.
After returning home, Lin Zheyu's facial muscles began to squirm slightly.
With just some minor differences in details, the whole person's image and temperament have undergone a huge change, from the domineering and reckless middle-aged man to an ordinary, somewhat handsome scholar.
"First try the effect of Chihuo Yangxue Powder."
Lin Zheyu said secretly.
Take out a wooden basin from the yard, pour water into it, grind a pair of red fire nourishing blood powder medicinal materials into powder, and pour it into it.
Most of the medicinal materials used in Chihuo Yangxue Powder are rare medicinal materials. Although the medicinal effects are powerful, the fire poison contained in them is also very strong.
Therefore, when you boil it into a decoction and take it, you will have the symptoms of being as hot as a furnace. This is caused by the fire poison in the medicinal materials invading the body.
"When improving the Jin Yan Kung before, one unit of source power needed to be used with six sets of blood-replenishing and bone-strengthening medicinal materials."
"The medicinal materials used in Chihuo Yangxue Powder are all powerful tonic medicines.
Even if the required energy cannot be fully met, it will not lead to a shortage of qi and blood. At most, the whole body's qi and blood power will be consumed."
Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
The power of Qi and blood in his body now reaches about 80% of its peak state. He is not using source power to increase his strength when he has just broken through the limit and his body is exhausted.
If the potency of the medicine is not enough, the power of Qi and blood will be consumed, which will not lead to Qi and blood deficiency.
Lin Zheyu poured the ground powder into water and stirred evenly with his hands.
Close your eyes, and the thought comes out: 'Use one unit of source power to improve the Golden Goose Kung Fu.'
In an instant, huge mysterious energy surged out from the depths of the cells, pulling the medicinal power in the tub and pouring it into the waist, abdomen and legs.
The ninth level of Jin Yan Gong requires the complete integration of Qi and blood bursting skills into Jin Yan Gong.
The difficulty is very high. It not only requires greatly improving the ability to control the body and qi and blood, but also improving the toughness of the muscles and skin of individual parts of the body.
Otherwise, you will simply not be able to withstand such a violent explosion of energy and blood.
Lin Zheyu's consciousness fell into a trance, entered the consciousness space, and began to exercise endlessly.
Unlike when he was training Jin Yan Gong before, when he advanced to the ninth level of Jin Yan Gong, Lin Zheyu tried again and again and failed again and again.
Constant attempts and failures have caused great damage to the body.
Fortunately, in the conscious space, his body can recover quickly without worrying about serious hidden injuries.
Lin Zheyu has failed and tried again and again. Every time he fails, he can learn from it and continue to try to improve.
Through each failure, he gained more and more insights and his ability to control became stronger and stronger.
When operating the Jin Yan Gong, the muscles and skin involved gradually strengthen and become tougher after being tortured again and again.
In the courtyard.
The mysterious energy encapsulates the medicinal power of Chihuo Yangxue Powder, nourishing and strengthening the muscles, skin and membranes of the waist, abdomen and legs.
After a few breaths, Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
The first time he opened his eyes, he didn't check the progress of Jin Yan Gong, but felt his own state.
"Qi and blood have returned to their peak state. The power of this Red Fire Nourishing Blood Powder is indeed very strong!"
Lin Zheyu said secretly.
He took his hand out of the wooden basin, put it under his nose and smelled it. He could still smell the faint medicinal fragrance.
In other words, the medicinal power in the medicinal materials has not been completely exhausted.
"The medicinal power of one dose of Chihuo Yangxue Powder is at least stronger than the medicinal power of six doses of Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction. How many doses of Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction are equivalent to this, we have to continue to try."
Lin Zheyu put it all together and was very satisfied with the Chihuo Nourishing Powder.
He looked at the data in his consciousness and saw that Jin Yan Gong had improved by another 4%.
Integrating Qi and Blood Explosion Techniques into Jin Yan Gong is much more difficult than imagined, and is almost impossible to achieve in reality.
If it weren't for the help of Yuanli, who could enter that mysterious consciousness space and unscrupulously try, improve, and strengthen his body, Lin Zheyu wouldn't be able to do it.
【God rewards those who work hard】
Name: Lin Zheyu
Source power:8
Skills:
Jin Yan Gong (ninth level 27%)
Turtle Breathing Technique (Third Level 100%)
After nearly two months, the Turtle Breathing Technique has reached the third level of perfection, and the progress of the ninth level of Jin Yan Gong has also increased to 27%.
"Continue to improve, this time use two units of source power, and add a pair of Red Fire Nourishing Blood Powder medicinal ingredients." Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
There are still eight units of source power left, which is enough for him to test a pair of Chihuo Nourishing Powder, which is equivalent to the blood-boosting and bone-strengthening soup.
Then take out a pair of Chihuo Nourishing Powder, grind it into medicinal powder, and pour it into the wooden basin that still has medicinal power.
‘Use two units of source power to improve Jin Yan Gong.’
The thought came out, the familiar feeling came again, and Lin Zheyu once again began to exercise endlessly.
After repeated failures, we learn lessons and experience, and turn them into insights on skills.
