Monarch of Evernight: Brothers from the year 223
bsp;Qianye looked at the old man carrying the medicine basket and turned around to leave. He couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lu, are there other places where star cherry trees can be produced?"
“In the forests and Qingcang Mountains, you can occasionally find wild star cherry trees. However, the wild species have stronger medicinal properties and are more dangerous. And there are always vicious beasts nesting next to the star cherry trees, so although there are occasional The production is not stable. Some years it is more than here, and some years it is less. ”
As the two of them talked, they came to another medicine garden enclosed by a fence. This medicine garden is full of black soil, mixed with a lot of gravel of various colors. There are clumps of weeds growing in the garden, which are indistinguishable from those in the mountains and forests outside.
The old man knew that Qianye didn't understand, so he pointed out: "These are not ordinary weeds, but gray silk grass. You see there are traces of rust on the edges of those grass blades, and there is a gray line on the back of the leaves. This That's the difference. Of course, a hundred years ago, this was a weed in the maelstrom."
This kind of weed can obtain such a large territory, so it has extraordinary uses. According to the old man, it is one of the main ingredients of the best military recovery potion. Before the duel with Luo Bingfeng, Qianye got a top-quality recovery potion and a rejuvenation potion.
The Gray Silk Grass is not irreplaceable, but adding a sufficient amount to the formula will greatly enhance the effectiveness of the recovery potion, which is the source of the extremely effective recovery potion. Because the range of use of recovery potions is much larger than that of recovery potions, the amount used is also larger. In a sense, the strategic value of Gray Silk Grass is not much worse than that of Star Cherry Tree. It's just that the star cherry tree is a life-saving thing for top-level powerhouses, and it is even rarer.
Qianye has indeed seen this herb, and it is indeed very common. It's just that it is only common in areas with ten times gravity, and has become extinct in areas with eight times gravity. Being able to transplant it here was not only due to the extraordinary ability of the senior who discovered and created Tiansun Grassland, but also because of the unique environment of Tiansun Grassland. Those stones scattered on the ground are actually the necessary materials for the growth of wireweed.
The old man walked around the medicine garden, occasionally picking a few herbs, and finally tied them into a handful and threw them to Qianye.
Such a small handful of herbs can barely fit into the Anduya space.
That’s it, the pain begins next. That is the pain of having too many resources and making it difficult to choose. Star cherry wood and iron wire gray silk grass are still barely on the verge of mass production, and then there are many resources with weird uses, but the value is not low at all.
For example, there are several large beehives hanging on trees. It is said that the honey produced in them can enhance eyesight if eaten regularly. If you eat it for two or three years, you may even be able to develop innate abilities such as low-light vision. Dark vision has always been a weakness of the human race. Qianye himself has the bloodline ability of the Eye of True Sight, so he naturally has no feeling about it. But for ordinary strong people, this is a very practical ability.
There are also several ancient vines wrapped around a hundred-meter giant tree. I heard that Tiansun Grassland was planted here when it was first established. Cut a few small holes on these ancient vines, and the juice that flows out is the ingredient for various medicines. In fact, this juice itself is an antidote, and it has a more significant effect on various strange poisons in the maelstrom.
After entering the maelstrom, what impressed Qianye the most was the poison here. From the strange purple poison used by the woman when picking the plain water lotus, to the powerful insect poison on the cliffs of the Qingcang Mountains, to the domineering poison of the Star Cherry Fruit, and even the white mist of the four-armed woman can be regarded as a kind of poison. Both Yong Ye and the strong men of the empire appear to be very fragile here.
Outside the maelstrom, the strong ones have Force protection and are very resistant to toxins. Only the poison possessed by the spider demon itself can be said to be highly poisonous. But in the maelstrom, it seems that deadly poisons can be encountered everywhere, many of which even Qianye is not immune to.
With this ancient vine juice, it will be much safer in the maelstrom.
Besides the flowing spring on the stone wall, there are also wild flowers growing like hanging bells. After these wild flowers are collected and dried, they can be made into special catalysts, a series of restoratives and stimulants in the Empire. After adding this catalyst, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly improved.
All kinds of things.
Walking around, Qianye got to know dozens of various medicinal herb resources. There was even an open-pit mine vein in Tiansun Grassland. However, this vein is not used for mining. Instead, its magnetic field and special associated minerals are used to transplant medicinal materials that cannot originally grow here.
Seeing so many resources, even a person like Qianye who knew nothing about pharmacy knew how valuable they were. It is not without reason that the Song Dynasty is so rich that it rivals the country. However, the key point is that not every time the maelstrom opens, someone from the Song Clan can successfully enter and exit. The last time someone from the Song Clan failed to reach Tiansun Grassland alive. Even if someone comes, what they can take away is very limited.
Thus, over the past hundred years, Tiansun Grassland has accumulated a huge amount of resources, which are not only extremely valuable, but can also be described as gold every step of the way. In some medicinal fields, because no one has been picking them, the herbs have withered and grown again from generation to generation. I don’t know how much medicinal properties have been accumulated in the soil. Simply planting a weed can turn it into a precious medicine.
The thing that left Qianye speechless the most was a tree called Purpurea. The bark of this tree can be used as medicine, and it inherits the strong medicinal properties of Maelstrom. But the most valuable thing is wood. Its wood is light and tough, its strength is not inferior to that of forest trees in high-gravity areas, but it is also extremely light. It is naturally the best material for making aerial battleships. In addition, it has the effect of activating vitality, which means that if you live in a floating ship made of purple scale cedar, your injuries will recover much faster than outside.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the value of the purple-leaf cedar, but what shocked Qianye was its quantity. At that time, the old man pointed to an endless forest that grew all the way to the mountainside outside the valley, and said: "This is the purple-scale cedar forest. Take as many as you want."
After arriving at Tiansun Grassland, Qianye realized that Anduya's space was so small. He wished he could decorate everything back, but in fact, except for the star cherry tree and the wire gray silk grass, he couldn't decorate anything else. Everything left in Anduya's space has its uses.
After taking Qianye around the Tiansun Grassland, the old man pointed towards Dongyue and said, "This sword looks familiar to me, can I borrow it for a look?"
Qianye naturally had no reason not to agree, and immediately handed Dongyue over.
The old man took Dongyue, his hand suddenly dropped, his face changed several times, and then he held it firmly. Tiansun Caochang is located in the center of the Qingcang Mountains, not far from the central area. The gravity here is twice as high as that of the empire. Dongyue is extremely heavy here. This weapon can no longer be used by ordinary strong men. Although the old man's Force cultivation is strong, his power is not strong enough to make Dongyue's luck turn as he wishes.
The old man glanced at Qianye, then placed Dongyue in front of him and watched carefully. But this time, he didn't have the calmness to see everything. He pondered for a long time and said: "If my eyesight is not dazzled, this sword should be made by an old friend, but the casting method is quite novel. I can't see it either." I understand. If it’s convenient, could you tell me the origin of this sword?”
Qianye nodded and told the story of getting Dongyue.
After listening to this, the old man was silent for a long time, and then he sighed and said: "After so many years, he still can't get over this relationship. That's all, that's all, he is old now and his time is running out. Still saying that he is a doer? "What?"
Qianye was a little curious, but thinking that it might be the private matter of the older generation, he did not answer the question.
The old man sat down on a stone, pointed to the other stone and said, "Sit down."
When Qianye sat down, the old man took off the gourd from his waist, raised his head and drank a few big sips, then handed it to Qianye and said: "There isn't much of this stuff left, and it's not easy to drink it outside. You can try a sip." ”
As soon as the gourd was opened, a strong smell of alcohol wafted out. Qianye just smelled the smell of the wine, and it felt slightly smoky, which showed how strong the alcohol was. He took the gourd, thought about it, and took a big gulp. As soon as the wine enters the throat, it is unexpectedly smooth and very comfortable.
Qianye looked at the gourd and wondered if he should take another sip. After just one sip, he already felt a little dizzy. The wine was as strong as fire and was quickly igniting Qianye's whole body. Wherever the heat flow went, traces of original force were actually generated, integrating with Qianye's own original force. These new forces are very pure and can be transformed into the dawn of dawn with just a little condensation. However, the quality is much higher than the void force absorbed by Taixuan's Art of War.
The old man smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you drink it all. I have been brewing this wine for fifty years, and now I only have this one sip left. I am old now, and it is useless to drink it. If you don't drink it, you will be in trouble in the future. There is no need to drink.”
Qianye felt the effects of being drunk and asked, "Can this wine increase the cultivation of the Force?"
The old man said: "It only accelerates the speed of absorbing the force. But after drinking this wine, the force absorbed is very pure, which can save a lot of condensation effort."
It’s incredible that this wine has such magical effects. Qianye stopped being polite and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.
After taking two large gulps of wine, Qianye had the familiar feeling of wandering again, and his consciousness became wandering, making it no longer easy to control.
The old man sighed: "Anyway, the little girl will need some time to recover. If you don't mind, just listen to me, an old man, nagging about some trivial matters. If we don't say it now, there may be some things that we will never have the chance to say again."
"The one who forged this Dongyue is my biological brother. Originally, my two brothers each had their own strengths. I was good at medicine and he was good at casting. This happened for decades. Unexpectedly, after he was over fifty, Suddenly, he met the person he loved back then, but the girl was already the Duke of An Guo in the empire. This meeting became his death, regardless of my dissuasion, he joined the Song Dynasty just to be able to do so. Take a look at her nearby."
At this point, the old man sighed and said: "His talent was originally superior to mine, but when he encountered this relationship, he stopped moving forward. He made no progress in casting. At that time, he always felt I have just become stupid for a moment, or my talent has finally reached its limit, but I don’t know. If I am timid about love and don’t have the energy to break through mountains and rocks, how can I create wonderful ideas that my predecessors couldn’t?”
