Xiao Yu basically didn't know these kinds of herbs, because the Maoshan Quotations only recorded all the medicinal materials from the Yang world, but not the medicinal materials from the Yin world.
If the white-bearded old man had not lied to himself, then he would have made a lot of money buying these medicinal materials for half a million ghost coins.
Just a single life-extending vine can be sold for a staggeringly high price when brought to Yangshi.
The black-bearded old man picked up a small medicine bottle, put it under his nose and smelled it.
Xiao Yu remembered this medicine bottle very clearly. It was the Seven Emotions Tears that the white-bearded old man said could help the kid grow up quickly.
But after the black-bearded old man smelled it, he shook his head and put it on the ground. This made Xiao Yu's face instantly look ugly.
"Senior, is there something wrong with this medicine?"
Xiao Yu also picked up the bottle on the ground, put it under his nose and sniffed it, but the liquid in the bottle had nothing special except a faint fishy smell.
The long-bearded old man did not answer Xiao Yu, but picked up a withered flower.
"Guhunhua is just too young!"
The black-bearded old man looked at the Guhunhua, then shook his head and placed it on the ground.
Several other medicinal materials were also picked up by the old man one after another. After the other party finished inspecting them, Xiao Yu looked at him expectantly.
"The ghost mud is real, but most of the other medicinal materials are fake!"
The old man with a black beard said something that made Xiao Yu feel cold.
"Isn't any of it true?"
Xiao Yu was a little unwilling and suddenly remembered something.
When he and the white-bearded old man suddenly separated, the other party gave him a hard lump and said it was a gift.
"If those are all fake, I'm afraid there is no hope."
Xiao Yu turned over his hand and took out a black lump, like a piece of rotten wood.
"Not necessarily. Even Mr. Hua Tuo can't identify this Yin Si herb. Maybe it's a treasure."
Seeing the disappointment on Xiao Yu's face, the black-bearded old man hurriedly smiled and comforted him. At the same time, he took the piece of rotten wood from Xiao Yu's hand and weighed it twice in his own hand.
Although Xiao Yu's face was full of disappointment, he still grabbed the palm-sized piece of mud in his hand.
The black-bearded old man said just now that only this piece of mud was real, which at least gave him some comfort.
The woman in white next to her and the village chief of Jie Village looked at each other, with a strange look on their faces.
Ghost mud, this thing is very common in the underworld. Not to mention a ghost general, even a little ghost will have a lot of preparations on him, so this thing is not valuable at all.
Ten thousand Ming coins can buy a large basket, but now Xiao Yu is holding it as a treasure, which makes the woman in white even more suspicious of Xiao Yu's identity.
Even if the other party is the son of a big family, he won't be unaware of something that everyone knows about the underworld, right?
In other words, the ghost mud used by the big family for healing is different from these?
The black-bearded old man didn't notice anything unusual about Xiao Yu. He grabbed the piece of wood and looked at it again and again. Then he waved his hand and a wooden barrel appeared on the ground. The barrel was half filled with clean water.
"Senior, this is what you are doing."
Xiao Yu looked at the other party with some confusion, but the old man with a black beard looked very solemn, and he gently threw the wood in his hand directly into the barrel.
The wood fell into the bucket, but it did not sink, but floated on the water.
Anyone can understand this principle. Wood is inherently less dense than water, so there is nothing strange about it floating on water.
But something surprising happened. The wooden block only floated on the water for a few breaths, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the water.
Xiao Yu's eyes were widened at this time. He stared closely into the bucket, as if waiting for a miracle to appear.
Seeing the wood sinking into the water, a hint of joy slowly appeared on the face of the black-bearded old man who had no expression at all.
"Old guy, what's going on?"
The head of Jie Village also stretched his head to look into the bucket and asked with confusion on his face.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just looked strange at this piece of wood, so I tried it with water. After absorbing the water, the wood sank to the bottom. There's nothing strange about it."
The black-bearded old man returned to normal in an instant. He reached out and fished out the wood in the bucket, and then threw it aside casually.
When Xiao Yu saw the other party's actions, he couldn't help but frown.
He brought the medicinal materials himself, and even if they were fake, the other party should return them to him. Why did he throw the piece of wood directly into the pile of medicinal materials on the ground?
"It's just a piece of rotten wood, there's nothing to inspect.
This young man heard that you want to buy medicinal materials?
I don’t know what I want. Although my little shop is shabby, there is still no shortage of common medicinal materials.”
Seeing Xiao Yu looking at the broken piece of wood, the black-bearded old man hurriedly got up and walked towards his medicine shelf, trying to attract a few people's attention.
The opponent used this move very cleverly. Even Xiao Yu was successfully distracted by the opponent.
"I want Zengshou Teng, Qiqing Tears...
I wonder if seniors have these medicinal materials here?"
Xiao Yu explained the fake medicinal materials he purchased again.
"There is no Zengshou Vine, but there is one of Guhunhua here."
The black-bearded old man threw a wooden box directly next to Xiao Yu, as if the things inside were not valuable at all.
"Only some big families have Qingqing Tears, because they have close contact with the Yin people. Ghost medicine masters like us don't have those things at all."
The old man walked around the medicine shop with his hands behind his back.
The head of Jie Village sat next to Xiao Yu. After listening for a while, he felt a little dizzy, as if he was very sleepy.
Xiao Yu held the Solid Soul Flower in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment.
He found that this soul-fixing flower had many similarities with the fake flower he bought.
Both flowers have eight petals, the only difference is the color of the petals.
The fake Guhunhua has only some simple white lines on it.
And the soul-solidifying flower petals given to me by the black-bearded old man actually had dark green spots as big as mung beans on them.
"Then, senior, do you know where to find the Resurrection Grass?"
In order to verify whether the news that he asked about the Resurrection Grass was true, Xiao Yu brought it up here again.
"The Resurrection Grass is found in the underworld and hell. They are guarded by powerful soul beasts, so it is not easy to get it.
The Resurrection Grass, one is at Hell Gate, and the other is at Huanhun Mountain. One of these two places is dangerous, and the other is relatively easy."
After hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but nodded.
This news is the same as what the white-haired old man said. It seems that the other party did not lie to me.
"You have finished asking all the questions that need to be asked, what else is there?"
The black-bearded old man stood there, looked at Xiao Yu and smiled.
"I came here to check the authenticity of the medicinal materials, and to buy some books on medicinal materials."
Anywhere where there are pharmacists, there must be medicinal books made up by pharmacists.
Xiao Yu travels around every day. If he had a book like that, he would know the appearance and living habits of some medicinal herbs, and he might come across them sometime.
