Chapter 20 Exchange blood is like burning yourself with fire!
As soon as he went out with a big bag of medicinal materials, Hu Wan followed him.
"Senior Brother Hu, what are you doing?"
Yang Yu's heart moved.
Didn't he know that overacting would draw attention to himself? He had also thought about hiding his clumsiness, but that was not feasible.
In order to hide my clumsiness, I delayed the progress of my blood transfusion. This is no longer worth the loss, it is simply a waste of food due to choking.
Blood transfusion is not the end point.
"The old man is really kind to you. I have nothing to say."
Hu Wan clicked his lips, envious.
He has been a disciple of Wei He for at least fifteen years, and he has never returned any money that has gone into his hands.
All I can say is that people are really different.
"Have it?"
Yang Yu thought for a while, and it seemed that there really was.
"Do you think anyone can get this medicinal material?"
Seeing his confused look, Hu Wan's face trembled with stubble:
"Do you think this is just a pack of medicinal materials? No! This is the capital of a life, something far more precious than sword skills!"
Recalling his efforts back then, Hu Wan's heart trembled.
The significance of exchanging blood is more important than passing the examination to become a scholar. The latter only relies on the status changes brought about by the imperial court.
The former is a power that truly belongs only to oneself.
'So, the old man thinks highly of me?'
Yang Yu had thoughts in his heart and said nothing.
The two of them left the alley one after another, saying the same thing as they did two months ago, but it was different from last time.
There was no need for Yang Yu to speak, Hu Wan kept talking all the way.
Yang Yu listened quietly.
"The human body has its limits. No matter how hard you work, you will never be better than cattle, horses and other livestock. But once the blood is exchanged, it will be a big difference!"
As if he was afraid that Yang Yu wouldn't understand, Hu Wan paused for a moment and said:
"It's just like, with a knife of the same style, the difference between pig iron and iron is that those bastards before could hit his head into his crotch with just a slap!"
"...a good metaphor."
The corners of Yang Yu's mouth twitched, he stopped and pointed ahead: "Senior Brother Hu, my house is here. Come in and sit down?"
"No, no."
Hu Wan bowed his hands and said goodbye, and told Yang Yu to go sit with him when he was free.
Yang Yu watched him go away.
Recalling Hu Wan's attitude when meeting him twice, Mr. Wei's subtle changes made him let out a long breath:
"Is this the charm of practicing martial arts..."
Open the door and go home.
Yang Yu brought the fire to a boil and began to add the medicinal ingredients in order. He kept changing between high and slow fires and was busy for more than an hour.
Then put down the lid of the pot, leaving only sporadic small fire to heat slowly.
Different from before, this time the medicinal materials are no longer soaked externally, but taken internally.
Refining is also more troublesome.
"call!"
Wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he waited for the liquid to cool down before trying to refine the blood.
While waiting for the liquid to cool down, Yang Yu was not idle. He closed his eyes slightly and came to the Cauldron of Gluttony.
On the cauldron wall, there is a faint light:
[Master the ingredients: ‘Broken Knife’ has been refined, ‘Human Skin Roll’ refining progress (86/100)]
[Cauldron of Gluttony: Energy Storage Progress (89/100)]
"Mom, I want you to be convinced..."
Staring at the scroll of human skin floating in front of him, Yang Yu had a headache.
Naturally, he has not been idle in the past two months. The refining of the human skin scroll is approaching ninety, and he is about to obtain the secret book recorded on it.
However, during the refining process, he discovered another problem.
Simple earth and rocks could no longer satisfy the gluttonous cauldron. He calculated that even if he kept eating earth and rocks day and night.
If you want to start the next refining, I'm afraid it will take a year.
The reason why the Cauldron of Gluttony is close to being completely black again is because he has eaten 'iron' for two full months!
A lot of the money taken from Li Eryi was spent on the blacksmith shop.
He is not an iron-eating beast, he has a mortal body, and he cannot chew large pieces of iron even if he wants to, so he can only ask the blacksmith to create some suitable 'iron beads'.
The cost is not low.
"It's fatal..."
Yang Prison picked up the human skin scroll and was about to start studying it when he suddenly noticed movement outside.
Opening her eyes, Granny Yang came to the stove.
"Are you too tired? You fell asleep while standing..."
The old woman held Yang Yu's hand distressedly and wanted to pull him back to the house.
"Mother-in-law, I'm still taking medicine."
Yang Yu smiled bitterly.
This pot of medicine is very important, and he will never feel at ease if he doesn't take it.
Seeing that the old woman was still frowning, Yang Yu quickly changed the subject and asked where the old woman had been.
"I went to see Mr. Yang."
The old woman sighed: "The injuries he received in Qingzhou didn't heal well. This time he encountered a thief again, and the injuries got worse. He can no longer get out of bed."
"so serious?"
Yang Yu's heart tightened.
It happened that at this critical time near the end of autumn, Wang Fobao was seriously injured, which made him feel uneasy.
You know, if this group of people robs a prison, it's okay, but if they rob a court, wouldn't the executioner be the first to bear the brunt?
"It was very serious. When I went to see him, the whole room smelled of blood."
The old woman was worried:
"I hope nothing happens to him, otherwise, the city will be even more chaotic. If it weren't for him, the riots in the outer city would have spread to the inner city..."
"Wang Captou has such a strong physique, he will definitely get better."
Yang Yu comforted her and asked the old woman to go back and rest.
Then without any delay, he came to the kitchen. The liquid hadn't cooled down yet, so Yang Yu could only wait patiently.
By this time, it was evening.
Opening the lid of the pot, the liquid medicine has boiled away the impurities, leaving only a purple-black layer on the bottom of the pot.
Yang Yu carefully collected the layer of ointment and washed the pot with hot water several times before returning to the room.
He closed the doors and windows and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"I hope I can succeed once..."
Taking a deep breath to suppress the restlessness in his heart, Yang Yu just kneaded the ointment into balls and swallowed them one by one.
boom!
After swallowing all the ointment, Yang Yu took out a dozen iron beads the size of broad beans, pinched his nose and swallowed them.
"call!"
"suck!"
Yang Prison forcibly adjusted his breathing and recalled the precautions that Old Man Wei had said before.
Nervousness and apprehension welled up in my heart.
Old Man Wei and Hu Wan thought he was a genius, but he himself didn't know if he was a genius.
boom!
After about a cup of tea, Yang Yu's body suddenly trembled, and a surge of heat exploded in his stomach!
Then, waves of burning pain spread.
The intestines and stomach, the five internal organs, the bones, the limbs, almost in the blink of an eye, Yang Yu was in pain and almost screamed.
I felt all the blood in my body rush to my face!
piping hot,
expansion,
I almost want to burst out!
At this moment, Yang Yu could even feel liquid flowing in his mouth, nose, eyes and ears, as if it would all be sprayed out in the next moment!
"No! What if this sprays out?!"
Yang Yu screamed in his heart and couldn't bear it anymore. He turned over and got to the ground. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes before he pushed the door open and walked out.
