Chapter 1 Muscle and Bone Soup
Chapter 1: Jianjin Bone Soup ()
The medicines in the Tianling Continent all contain spiritual power, but they are different in nature. The medicines on the first floor of the Lingyaotang are only processed and not refined, and the medicinal power is weak. After receiving them, they can either be chewed raw or boiled into a medicine soup and taken.
All drugs are classified into categories, either strengthening physical fitness, tempering internal organs, or increasing spiritual power. Nie Kong walked past the medicine stand, looking at the name of the medicine on the wooden box, his brows became tighter and tighter.
He had basically never heard of these drugs, only a few of them were a little impressionable, but he had no idea about their medicinal properties. Of course, it was no wonder that the original owner of the body was not qualified to enter the Spiritual Medicine Hall at that time. He usually bought refined finished spiritual medicines outside. He was addicted to cultivation and had no time or opportunity to understand these things. Moreover, the young man who entered the Spiritual Medicine Hall to get medicine, the elders at home would carefully remind him which kind of medicine to find before coming. There were only ones like Nie Kong who came here.
Could it be that I will return empty-handed today?
Nie Kong smiled bitterly. Only after reasonable combination can the medicinal power contained in the drug be maximized. However, now he does not know the medicinal properties. If he picks a few things that enhance physical fitness and goes back to take them, the effect will not be too good, and even his 10% requirement may not be met.
"Hey, Tian Xinzi?"
When he walked to the fifth row of medicine racks, he saw the name of the medicine on one of the wooden boxes. Nie Kongxin jumped and finally encountered a familiar medicine.
Unfortunately, this drug is among the "demon".
When playing the game, Nie Kong chose a life profession to refine medicines, and he was extremely familiar with the medicines in it. For example, "Tianxinzi" is one of them. It can be used to refine low-level potion "Shenjianjian and Bone Soup". After taking it, the player can instantly increase his physique by 100 points, which lasts for half an hour. In the demon, a little physique represents four points of blood, so this Shenjianjian and Bone Soup is still good for low-level players.
After all, this is not a game, so I wonder what this kind of "Tianxinzi" looks like?
Nie Kong was a little nervous in his heart. He took a deep breath and opened the lid of the box to look at it. After a moment, Nie Kong couldn't help but show joy on his face. All the drugs placed inside were granular, with a size similar to rice grains, and the surface was red. Nie Kong twisted one and put it in his palm to watch it carefully. He soon found that the shape of the surface of its lines was exactly the same as the "Tianxinzi" in the Demon Game.
"Very good."
Nie Kong was greatly inspired, and grabbed a handful of medicine and wrapped it on the white paper next to it, and then continued to search for the medicine box. Although he didn't know whether the "Stub and Bone Soup" in the game could work in reality, Nie Kong's eyes were dark now, and it was always possible to try it. Even if it could not achieve the effect of strengthening the body, it would not damage the body. Anyway, the herbs here can be taken directly.
Butterfly grass! Crystal Jade Lotus seeds!
When he walked through most of the medicine stand, Nie Kong found two medicines in the formula of "Jianjin Zhuang Bone Soup", and finally there was a "Red Demon Flower". During this period, Nie Kong saw dozens of medicines that appeared in the demon game, but Nie Kong could not use them yet.
Looking around for a week, Nie Kong turned his attention to the last two rows, which were marked with "slight poison" and "severe poison", which were obviously all drugs containing toxicity.
Nie Kong walked to the row of "slightly poisonous" medicine racks.
"Red Demon Flower!"
The name of the medicine in the third box came into sight, and Nie Kong breathed a sigh of relief. This time he opened the box and grabbed two. According to the rules of the Lingyaotang, even a pound of medicine can be taken by one pound. As long as there are no more than five drugs and the total amount is not more than one pound.
He grabbed four packs of medicine and came to the bald old man on the side of the door.
The old man was still half dead, holding a small medicine bag and crossing his nose, constantly reporting the name weight: "Tianxinzi, two liang... beard butterfly grass, two liang... crystal jade lotus seeds, two liang..."
The old man finally raised his eyelids, with a little surprised look in his eyes. Obviously, he didn't expect Nie Kong to catch the medicine so accurately. However, he didn't know that it was developed by Nie Kong after more than twenty years of training in his previous life. He paused slightly, grabbed the last pack of medicine, and recited: "Red Demon Flower, four liang."
When he said the three words "Red Demon Flower", the old man looked at Nie Kong again, but didn't say much. After putting down the medicine bag, he began to feel drowsy again.
Nie Kongwei bowed, picked up the medicine bag and the clan card and left the gate, said hello to Nie Qingfeng, and hurried to the house. He couldn't wait.
...
In the kitchen, Nie Kong sat cross-legged in a large wooden bucket filled with hot water, with nine golden needles on his body, and his face was faintly visible in the fog. Hua Mei squatted in front of the small medicine stove at the door, waved her palm fan with her little hand, and looked back from time to time, her cheeks were red and a little shy.
"Sister-in-law, you can pour the medicine."
Nie Kong's voice sounded, Hua Mei hurriedly lifted the furnace and put the medicine jar on the medicine jar. When she walked to the bucket, her cheeks were even more red. She lowered her eyes shyly, Hua Mei Yu's hand used force, and the hot medicine juice rushed out of the mouth of the jar and poured it into the bucket. It was as bright as blood, and the entire bucket of water was dyed red in an instant.
This medicine is added with one liang of Tianxinzi, one liang of Butterfly Grass, one liang of Crystal Jade Lotus Seeds, and two liang of Red Demon Flowers. The medicine brought back by Nie Kong can be tormented twice.
At this moment, Nie Kong's skin was scalded red by hot water.
When the medicine juice was poured in, Nie Kong's fingers quickly rolled the Tianke's needle and trembled. The acupoints vibrated violently. The spiritual power spread around like water patterns. Thirty-six thousand pores in the body opened instantly. Straws of red medicine juice suddenly drilled into Nie Kong's body like living things along the pores from all directions.
The golden needle trembled rapidly, and the medicinal power of Jianjin and Bone Soup penetrated into the muscles and bones bit by bit. The color of the hot water in the wooden barrel gradually faded. By spreading the spiritual power of the whole body, Nie Kong could even clearly feel that his atrophic muscles were slowly expanding, and his loose bones were constantly hardening.
The soup of muscle-strengthening bones is indeed very effective!
Nie Kong was excited. If the three drugs, such as Tianxinzi, Xu Butterfly Grass and Crystal Jade Lotus Seed, were taken directly, part of the medicine will eventually be converted into spiritual power, and some of the medicine will dissipate before it was exerted. As for strengthening the physique, it is only by the way, and the effect is weak. However, after they were decocted with Red Demon Flowers into "Strange Skin and Bone Soup", the medicine power was neither converted into spiritual power nor wasted, and was almost all absorbed by Nie Kong's muscles and bones.
The spiritual medicines in the Tianling Continent are basically related to cultivation, and spiritual power can almost cure all diseases. Once you encounter Nie Kong's spiritual power is ineffective, you will be at a loss. There is no saying "prescribe the right medicine" here. Just like the medicines Nie Kong's predecessor took for more than ten years, all of them can be used for spiritual power cultivation. Their medicinal power is now attached to the meridians, which is very large. If Nie Kong absorbed it himself, his physique will indeed gradually increase, but more medicinal power will eventually be converted into spiritual power, and it will never be as effective as "Jianjin Zhuang Bone Soup".
The four words "prescribe the right medicine" are not just casual words.
After about half an hour, the remaining trace of medicinal power was absorbed into the body, and the water stained with the medicine juice returned to clear. At this time, there was no heat in the wooden barrel. Nie Kong did not get up, but continued to vibrate the golden needle to disperse the medicinal power, allowing them to blend more closely with the body.
Another half an hour passed, and the bucket completely turned cold. Nie Kong opened his eyes and took out the nine golden needles on his body with a smile, and placed them on the stove.
"Okay, okay, good muscle-enhancing and bone-strengthening soup!"
Nie Kong laughed with satisfaction and pinched himself. The muscles in his chest, legs, arms and other parts were slightly bulging, and the bone marks on both ribs were no longer so obvious. When he lowered his head and shone in the water, his sunken eyes and cheeks became much more plump.
Now Nie Kong can no longer see his skinny appearance an hour ago.
Hua Mei was waiting outside with a little anxious. Finally, she saw Nie Kong's figure walking out of the kitchen. She became dull, her red lips slightly opened, her eyes rounded, and her expression was full of disbelief.
"Sister-in-law."
Seeing Huamei's stunned look, Nie Kong couldn't help but smile.
"You... are you uncle?"
Hua Mei said dumbly, her eyes moving back and forth on Nie Kong's body, and the disbelief on her face was gradually replaced by surprise and excitement. She said in a delicate voice, "It's really uncle, you're really uncle, you've become strong so quickly." There was an unconcealed smile between the eyebrows.
Seeing that the beauty was so happy, Nie Kong couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister-in-law, if I take that kind of medicine soup again in three days, I will be almost the same as a normal person." The second absorption of "Strange Skin and Bone Soup" is definitely far less effective than this time, but it is enough for Nie Kong.
"Uh-huh."
Hua Mei turned around Nie Kong, nodding in excitement, as if she was watching rare treasures. The past few days have happened like a dream for Hua Mei. First, Nie Kong resurrected from the dead and scared Wu Tong and others away, then used the nine golden needles to treat himself. Then, his cultivation level, which had not been progressing for ten years, suddenly increased to the third level of spiritual gathering, and now it has become stronger because of the "soft and bone soup".
It's so amazing!
If she hadn't been with Nie Kong for three years and had watched Nie Kong wake up, she would have thought that her uncle had changed. Now, she finally no longer had to worry about Nie Kong's sudden loss of hold on and die of illness, and Hua Mei's heart became extremely relaxed.
Huamei's cheerful smile filled Nie Kong's heart with warmth. Such a good girl must not let Nie Fengxing's bastard succeed. If Nie Kong was a little worried on the day he just woke up, he was no longer afraid now. Since the potion in the demon game is effective, the formula of "Shengjian Bone Soup" is completely comparable to a bottle of "Rejuvenation Dew". This "Shengjian Bone Soup" is of no use to spiritual masters above the psychics, but it is definitely a rare spiritual medicine for gathering spirits, especially children who have just come into contact with spiritual power to practice.
