Chapter 80 Identifying Medicines and Elixirs
"drive!"

Looking back at Gaoliu City, Fang Yunxiu rode away on his horse.

Soon, they arrived at a small village with only dozens of households.

"Junior sister~"

The weather-beaten Sha Pingying emerged from the dilapidated temple in front of the village:
“Give me something to eat!”

Fang Yunxiu threw the dry food she brought over and dismounted: "Where's Mr. Han?"

"He passed by last night and took away my roasted rabbit..."

Sha Pingying chewed his dry food and was also somewhat suspicious:
"Didn't you say before that Mr. Han wanted to alert the enemy? He was so murderous that I wanted to run away even if I was a few miles away. This..."

"…How should I know?"

Fang Yunxiu's face darkened: "Which direction did he go?"

"Mr. Han has already perfected his Flying on the Grass, Cicada Wings, and Hawk Steps. Not to mention that he left last night, even if he just left, do you still want to catch up with him?"

The Shaping Eagle was obviously very hungry, chewing dry food with slurred speech.

He stayed in the mountains for several months and lost a lot of weight.

Fang Yunxiu knew this, but she still gritted her teeth and jumped on the horse: "We have to chase after them even if we can't. There may be some misunderstanding here..."

Knowing that Lu Yunqing was also in the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple last night, she felt uneasy.

Judging from Han Chuijun's past behavior, if Lu Yunqing offended him, it would not be a matter that could be resolved by simply killing himself.

Lu Bailing, even herself will be implicated.

Ghost-faced Prajna, that is the reputation that has spread over the years. Han Chuijun, who lived several decades ago, was known as the Ghost-faced Shura...

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding is there?"

A sneer like a night owl floated over. In the wilderness, the man-high weeds were blown down like waves by the strong wind. Han Chuijun strode over.

"唏伦~"

Fang Yunxiu got off the horse and held the frightened horse tightly: "Mr. Han, what happened?"

"Your brother-in-law is a traitor. I didn't even provoke him, but he teamed up with those thieves from the Bodhisattva Temple and tried to kill me on a rainy night!"

Han Chuijun stood with his hands down, looking quite angry:
"It's fine that I'm distracted at my age, but how come you're so young and so close to me, and you didn't notice it? Is there something wrong with your brother-in-law?"

"what?"

Sha Pingying was furious: "How dare a mere county magistrate be so presumptuous? I will mobilize the troops and raid his house!"

"Shut up!"

Fang Yunxiu glared at him. She was not as stupid as Sha Pingying.

"You said 'they intended to kill you'. Does that mean that they were all killed by you before they even surrounded you?"

Fang Yunxiu felt a little frightened, but she had no choice but to bear with it.

She only has this one niece.

"What? It will only count if I am surrounded and killed by him?"

Perhaps because he had vented his anger, Han Chuijun was in a very peaceful mood. He did not care about the offense from his disciples. He glanced at them calmly and said:
"Evidence and truth can only be discussed with living people. No one will even look at a dead person!"

"Mr. Han..."

Fang Yunxiu wanted to say something, but Sha Pingying bowed solemnly: "Disciple will remember your teachings!"

Han Chuijun glared at him and waved his hand to send him away: "Alright, let's go back into the mountains after you've recovered. It's just a nine-year-old. How can we catch him in several months?"

"The disciple is incompetent..."

Sha Pingying's face was filled with shame. He grabbed some dry food, jumped on his horse, and hurried away.

"..."

Fang Yunxiu was speechless for a moment.

"He's too stupid. It's easy for him to get into trouble if he goes into the city."

Han Chuijun waved his hand and sat on a stone pier in front of the temple:

"The method of worshipping gods is not evil, but your brother-in-law has already walked on the evil path. When he started, the bloody stench made me stagger, and that's why he ran away..."

"You think this fish is too small?"

Fang Yunxiu also came to her senses.

"Not really."

Han Chuijun shook his head:
"He must have mastered the 'Shenzu Sutra'. He ran desperately, and it was really hard to catch him..."

"Shenzu Sutra?"

Fang Yunxiu's heart was shocked.

Theism is based on the method of worshipping gods, on which are divided various branches, such as the Shenzu Sutra, Shenzhang Sutra, Shenmu Sutra, Shenzang Sutra and so on.

According to legend, any skill that is mastered will have incredible power.

"I have to follow him and see what big fish is behind him..."

Han Chuijun stood up.

Fang Yunxiu bowed slightly and waited for instructions.

"There should be someone in Gaoliu City who has mastered the Bingdao Fighting Hammer."

With his sleeves full of wind, Han Chuijun stepped on the grass and left:

"Find him before I come back!"

……

……

"Dad!"

"father!"

At noon, the sound of blacksmithing in the forge room died down. When the blacksmiths and helpers came out to eat, they could still hear Wang Gong crying in the backyard.

"The second and third shopkeepers have both suffered, so why won't the first shopkeeper come back?"

"This year has been really eventful. Why can't we catch that damn Nian Jiu? The government is full of rubbish!"

"It's a pity that the Third Shopkeeper's body is still warm. I heard that his wives and concubines have already started fighting over him..."

……

In the inner courtyard, Li Yuan ordered three large bowls of nourishing soup and drank it while listening to the discussions of other inner courtyard apprentices.

Two shopkeepers died overnight. Even though they were unpopular, many people felt sad for them.

After all, he was the owner of a weapon forging shop.

"Junior Brother Li."

At this time, Yue Yunjin walked over with a heavy expression.

"Senior Brother Yue!"

After taking a look at Wu Ming and Zhao Xiaoming who followed him, Li Yuan put down the porcelain bowl and stood up.

"Yu Zhen was almost stripped naked, and the whole thing was lost!"

Several people looked unhappy, especially Yue Yunjin. It had been several years since his qi and blood had reached great perfection, and the loss of the fundamental map had a huge impact on him.

"Without the fundamental map, it is impossible for us to develop internal strength!"

Wu Ming was a little impatient.

He was also an old apprentice and knew well the difficulty of developing internal strength. There were many inner courtyard apprentices who had graduated several batches earlier than him but still had not developed internal strength.

"I went to the county government office to find the county lieutenant. Yu Zhen was found dead on the street before dawn, and all his belongings were missing!"

With a heavy heart, Yue Yunjin glanced at his fellow disciples and took a deep breath.

"If the chief shopkeeper doesn't have the fundamental map, then if we want to develop our inner strength, we have no choice but to join the Divine Weapon Valley!"

"Such a big thing happened in the shop, why doesn't the shopkeeper come back?"

Wu Ming became a little annoyed.

"My father has already sent someone to inform the chief treasurer, but Fajiu Mountain is very big..."

Zhao Xiaoming glanced at Yue Yunjin:

"Brother Yun, why don't you go meet Lady Fang? She is an inner sect disciple of the Divine Weapon Valley, so she should have a solution..."

"Um……"

Yue Yunjin nodded, feeling annoyed: "How can I see Miss Fang whenever I want?"

The Divine Weapon Valley has been dormant for many years and has no shortage of disciples with superior aptitude. If he cannot develop internal strength before the assessment, he will have no hope of joining the inner sect.

But Fang Yunxiu...

"Brother Yun, why don't you go meet my father first?"

Zhao Xiaoming said in a gentle voice.

"Alright."

Yue Yunjin's expression eased slightly.

The two men chatted for a few words and left together. Wu Ming watched them leave before he snorted coldly and walked away.

Ever since Yue Yunjin was valued by Fang Yunxiu, he has had many friends who made him his friend, and Zhao Xiaoming is one of them.

"Unless the people from the Divine Weapon Valley leave, I'm afraid Cao Yan won't come back." Li Yuan went to get another bowl of health-promoting soup, squatting on the steps and drinking it slowly.

Although they are both gold, they are very scarce. However, anyone with a little wealth can at least make one or two pieces of gold jewelry. However, it is different with pure gold.

There is no such thing in Gaoliu County, or even in several nearby counties.

Most of the red gold that Cao Yan collects every year comes from the wealthy families in Zhelong Mansion. This is something that ordinary people cannot access at all.

"At the next gathering, we must try to contact Lu Bailing. We can't count on Cao Yan anymore..."

Li Yuan felt warm inside as he drank the nourishing soup.

The absorption of medicinal liquid by superior bones is better than that by medium and inferior bones, but the biggest change actually comes from internal strength.

As the Qi and blood circulate, the internal strength continues to nourish and stimulate the body.

This strand of internal energy comes from the transportation of Qi and blood over the years, but it is different from Qi and blood. It can leave the body one foot and can break bluestone.

"If you don't have a basic diagram, you must at least practice your martial arts to perfection, or find someone who has cultivated internal strength through practicing the same martial arts and can teach you step by step..."

After developing internal strength, Li Yuan's understanding of White Ape Power naturally far exceeded before.

The so-called fundamental diagram is the process of Qi and blood circulating to generate internal strength. The white ape raises the hammer and roars, which involves the explosion of Qi and blood between the limbs, waist and abdomen.

It sounds mysterious, but it is actually very simple.

Once you understand it, follow the movements in the picture, lift the hammer and roar every day, while moving qi and blood, adjust the Ape Six Breathing Method, and persevere, you can get through it in five or six years at most.

"No wonder the inner courtyard has a private school. If you can't read a single word, you can't even understand the diagram... The ability to analyze and understand is also very important."

After drinking several bowls of nourishing soup, Li Yuan felt warm. He stood on the White Ape Post in the inner courtyard for a while before returning to the forging room.

Zhang Ben was not there, and the blacksmiths in the forge were talking.

Li Yuan listened for a while and found that it was not very useful, so he picked up the forging hammer and started to hammer the iron chisel.

He hadn't yet used any of the twelve top-grade sharp blades he was owed.

It was almost evening when Zhang Ben returned to the forge, looking quite tired.

"Master, please take a rest."

Several blacksmiths hurried over to help.

"What a troubled time!"

Rubbing his brows, Zhang Ben sighed and waved his hand:
"Those who need to leave should leave. Li Yuan, stay and continue the fight. You've been too lazy these past few days!"

"Yes."

Li Yuan kept hitting with his hammer, clanging and banging.

"Old Tang, Qin Xiong, Yu Zhen, Wang Ding! It's been less than half a year, and so many things have happened in the shop..."

When most of the people had left, Li Yuan stopped and Zhang Ben stood up, his eyes full of worry:

"Last year, I felt that something was wrong with them. At that time, I thought I was wrong. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid they are really planning something big in secret!"

"Ok?"

Li Yuan reacted quickly and closed all the doors and windows.

"Why not close the door? People are almost dead. What if someone hears us?"

Zhang Ben felt a little tired, but he had to cheer up: "Li Yuan, I have to take care of the business in the shop from now on, and the forge will be handed over to you for the time being!"

"disciple……"

"The monthly salary will be based on what I paid you before!"

"Thank you, master!"

Li Yuan had no choice but to agree.

"Go."

Zhang Ben yawned and turned back to the house.

How much is the monthly salary?

The words turned around in his mind, but Li Yuan didn't ask. He cleaned up the forge room and then went back to work.

He did not return to the yard, but took a detour to the Four Seasons Pharmacy.

Identifying medicine is more important than taking it. If you don't take medicine, the worst that can happen is that you will practice slower. But if you take the wrong medicine, it could be fatal.

"The Four Seasons Pharmacy must have all kinds of elixirs and maps of the medicinal properties of medicinal materials, but unfortunately they are not for sale..."

After buying a bottle of Blood-Nourishing Pill, Li Yuan asked the clerk about all sorts of things, and from time to time shamelessly asked for a few bottles of pills to smell them, so as to teach himself how to identify the medicines.

"Rejuvenating pills? What's the point of this? Oh, aphrodisiac? Intestinal moistening powder... Ahem, this wound medicine, can it be taken orally or applied externally?"

Li Yuan was very enthusiastic and humbly sought advice.

The shop assistants looked at each other, but they were all a little confused.

The guy who was being pulled was particularly nervous. He said, "Brother Li, that's enough! If you have something to say, just tell me.

We can do it, we will definitely do it for you!"

But please stop bothering me!

The more handsome guys only felt that the crotch of their pants was leaking air and they felt cold.

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

Li Yuan rubbed his hands and pointed to the back hall: "I got a prescription a few days ago and planned to make a medicine according to it, but I'm still short of a pestle to pound the medicine..."

"This……"

The guys looked at each other with strange expressions.

You want to make medicine after getting this recipe, are you really not afraid of death?
"Hey, the pestle in the shop has never been sold out, right?"

The more handsome guy hesitated, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Well, new pestles are not easy to sell, but some broken ones..."

"As long as it works."

Of course Li Yuan had no objection.

After a while, Li Yuan came out of the door carrying two pestles. He weighed them and felt quite satisfied.

[Herb Pestle (Level 1)]

[The roots of a century-old tree are soaked in juice made from hundreds of herbs, pounded for decades, and stained with various medicinal flavors...]

[Requirements for mastering: Basic knowledge of herbs]

[Control effect: familiar with hundreds of medicines, pounding medicines, and understanding the properties of medicines]

There are two medicine pestles, one is stepped and the other is not. The latter just happens to meet the control requirements of the former.

"Medicine and martial arts are inseparable, there is no harm in learning them."

Li Yuan was satisfied.

He had long been jealous of the huge profits from elixirs. One elixir only cost a few taels and could be sold at a high price of several taels. If he could make it himself, he could save a lot of money.

"Even if I can't make the elixir myself, at least I can identify the quality of the elixir. I can't let the little field mouse try everything..."

Li Yuan felt that he was a soft-hearted person.

When I returned to the yard, I saw the little vole in the corner squeaking, digging and kicking, as if it wanted to burrow into the soil. It was obviously scared.

"What are you running for?"

Grabbing the little fellow with a frightened face, Li Yuan felt that the little mouse seemed to have become much smarter after eating too many pills.

I just suffered a loss once, but I actually remembered it.

"This time, it will be alright."

After closing the door and lighting the oil lamp, Li Yuan placed several bottles of pills he had gotten from Yu Zhen, as well as a cloth bag that he was not sure whether it was a medicine bag or a poison bag, on the table.

"Zhizhi~~"

The little mouse almost suffocated from screaming, with a look of resistance on its face.

"Last time it was an accident, this time, it will definitely be fine!"

Li Yuan swore solemnly and took out various detoxification pills.

"It tastes like a bone-strengthening pill, but it's different. Hmm... Come on, little guy, try it..."

"Hey? Stop foaming at the mouth..."

"Damn, an aphrodisiac! That Yu Zhen is so heartless that he carries aphrodisiacs with him. Luckily, I am here to help..."

……

The night was long and Li Yuan kept trying medicine.

"squeak!"

The little mouse slipped under the bed and never came out again.

"Well, Yu Zhen is really cruel. Nine of them are true and one is false. If I hadn't tried every pill, I'm afraid I would have been fooled!"

There are five detoxification pills left, which were obtained from Yu Zhen's three bottles of pills. Li Yuan has tried them all.

"Two for strengthening bones, three for replenishing blood, six for growing tendons, seven for increasing blood, one for internal injuries, and three useless pills mixed with poison!"

After tearing off a few slices of bacon and throwing them under the bed to comfort the little guy, Li Yuan took a blood-enhancing pill, closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then stood up and stood with the hammer in his hand.

Nourish qi and blood, and nourish internal strength.
