Mortal bone
Chapter 14 Purchasing Medicines, Initial Trial of Xijin Fasui Decoction
"So what if I mention it, Bai Yulou can really cover the sky with one hand in Qingxuanzong?"
Ziyang Zhenjun snorted coldly when he heard the words, and then walked out, and when he was about to return to the cave, he suddenly turned his head to look at the bronze mirror behind him and said: "The next sutra lecture will be cancelled, this time I will be in seclusion for three years. "
After saying this, his figure disappeared in a flash at the entrance of the cave.
"Why bother?"
A helpless sigh came from the bronze mirror.
……
Let's go back to Green Bamboo Residence.
"Huh... still not good..."
Xu Taiping, who had been sitting on the bed for a long time, suddenly let out a long sigh.
After listening to Zhenjun Ziyang's lecture, it happened to be noon, and it was a good time to practice "The Cangxia Jing", so Xu Taiping started to practice according to what he heard today.
Unexpectedly, after working hard for an entire hour, he still failed to guide the aura of heaven and earth into the body and refine it into true qi according to the description in the "Cangxia Jing".
"It seems that we can only rely on the prescription of Fairy Lingyue."
Xu Taiping wiped the sweat from his brow, and said unwillingly.
This attempt made him truly appreciate the difficulty of cultivating bone aptitude.
Thinking of this, he had already made up his mind and took out the bronze mirror again, and then put a merit coin on it.
"Qingzhu residence Xu Taiping, why are you looking for me?"
The voice of the mirror spirit resounded from the bronze mirror.
"Master Xuan Jing, I want to buy a batch of medicinal materials and herbal seeds."
Xu Taiping replied.
"For your current grade, you can only buy medicinal materials and seeds at the Baicao Hall at the foot of the mountain. These are the herbal medicine names of the Baicao Hall. After you choose them in the mirror, a spirit bird will send them to your courtyard."
In the voice of Jing Ling, a herbal medicine name began to appear on the bronze mirror.
"Thank you, Master Xuanjing."
After Xu Taiping thanked him, he began to search carefully.
After spending a stick of incense, Xu Taiping finally got all the medicinal ingredients in Fairy Lingyue's prescription. In order to prevent people from seeing the prescription, he added a few more medicinal ingredients that were not very valuable. I did some tricks on my catty.
As for the medicinal seeds in the medicine garden, he only chose the "nine-leaf perilla" and bought enough to plant three mu of land three times.
There was a reason why he chose this way.
According to the records about the planting of the medicine garden in the Jade Slip of Gonggong, the leaves, stems, and fruits of the nine-leaf perilla can be used as medicine, and the leaves can be eaten as high-quality vegetables. The price of the seeds is also the cheapest among all elixir medicines. It is easy to grow, and the period from germination to fruiting is only three months. Yunlu Mountain is like spring all year round, and it can be planted three times.
The only downside is that the price is too low.
Under normal circumstances, per mu of nine-leaf perilla, only thirty Qingxuanzong merit coins can be exchanged each year, which is far lower than the income of other elixir.
You must know that in Qingxuanzong, each registered disciple of the outer sect needs to turn in 120 merit coins every year.
Under normal circumstances, even if Taiping planted nine-leaf perilla in the three-acre medicine field, he would not be able to collect the merits that need to be handed over to the sect.
But with the array arranged by Fairy Lingyue in the medicine field, everything will be different.
According to Fairy Lingyue, the harvest of the medicine field arranged in the small spirit-gathering formation will triple within three years, so it is the most cost-effective for him to plant nine-leaf perilla.
"If there is no accident, the three-acre medicine field and the nine-leaf basil planted in three seasons can be exchanged for at least 270 merit coins. Apart from the cost of 20 merit coins and the 120 merit coins that need to be turned in every year, I can still have 130 merit coins left. In the coming year, we will be able to buy better medicine seeds, and maybe there will be some left over to buy exercises and talismans."
After Xu Taiping finished paying the bronze mirror, he picked up a pen and paper and carefully wrote down the accounts.
"After buying the medicinal materials and seeds, there are only three merit coins left. Fortunately, I have already bought a cylinder of rice in the rice tank, and there is enough oil and salt. When the time comes, I will go to the mountains to set up some traps and hunt for some game. It should be fine." Support until the maturity of the nine-leaf perilla in the first season."
While keeping the accounts, he was calculating in his mind.
One of the big reasons for choosing the nine-leaf perilla as the seed is because it matures quickly, allowing him to quickly exchange for merit within three months, which in turn can be exchanged for the medicinal materials used for cultivation.
As for the real fire talismans needed for burning seeds, he asked Jing Ling yesterday, and the answer he got was that items such as talismans can only be purchased after one year of entry, and even the most common real fire talismans cost the same. More than a thousand merit coins, he couldn't afford it in a short time.
"Well, after the harvest, I have to think about saving money to buy a real fire talisman."
Xu Taiping made another note in the account book.
……
The next evening.
A gray crane, a spiritual bird, stopped in front of Xu Taiping's small courtyard with a large package in its mouth.
The seeds and herbs purchased by Xu Taiping finally arrived.
After paying a merit coin to Gray Crane with some heartache, Xu Taiping walked into his bedroom with the medicinal materials.
At this time, there was a bathtub full of hot water in his bedroom.
This is exactly what he prepared in advance to make medicine.
"The prescription given by Fairy Lingyue said that the ingredients of this medicine are ordinary. If you want to exert the effect of the medicine, you must add the medicine according to the time and order mentioned in the prescription."
After sorting and putting away the medicinal materials, and using the old scale in the house to re-weigh, Xu Taiping stood before the morning session and thought about the order and time of adding the medicinal materials.
"It should be fine."
After a while, Xu Taiping nodded secretly, as if to encourage himself.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up a portion of the medicinal materials on the oiled paper, poured them all into the steaming bathtub, and then began to count silently with his fingers: "8, 7, 6..."
When the countdown reached 1, Xu Taiping quickly poured the second batch of herbs on the table into the bathtub.
With the pouring of the second medicinal material, the hot water in the tub suddenly started to bubble, followed by bursts of strange fragrance like orchids and musk deer.
"It seems that there is no mistake."
Xu Taiping was overjoyed, and immediately poured in another pack of herbs.
……
After a stick of incense.
After all the medicinal materials were poured into the bathtub according to the instructions on the prescription, Xu Taiping only saw that the clear hot water in the early morning dish had changed into a thick white slurry.
"The medicinal soup is as white as jade in color and as thick as pulp, just as the prescription says."
Xu Taiping heaved a sigh of relief.
At least from the looks of it, the bone-washing and marrow-cutting soup he concocted was a success.
Immediately, Xu Taiping quickly took off his clothes, revealing his lean body, turned naked and soaked in the bone marrow washing soup.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
It may be because of the potency of the medicine, even after a stick of incense, the soup in the bathtub is still very hot, Xu Taiping couldn't help grinning from the heat.
If it wasn't for the description of the prescription, once he leaves halfway, the effect of the medicine will be greatly reduced, and he probably has already come out of the bathtub by this time.
Ziyang Zhenjun snorted coldly when he heard the words, and then walked out, and when he was about to return to the cave, he suddenly turned his head to look at the bronze mirror behind him and said: "The next sutra lecture will be cancelled, this time I will be in seclusion for three years. "
