Arcane Rebirth

Jialan remembered that the three-year-old [Blood Mistletoe Vine] purchased from the Adventurer's Guild was as thick as a small finger and ten centimeters long. The standard price was two silver coins each, but the prepared [Hemostatic Ointment] cost one

A small jar of gold coins!

And there are a lot of [blood mistletoe vines] almost as thick as eggs and one foot long on this stall. There are at least hundreds of them, and they look to be at least ten years old!

Jialan blinked. Among the materials used to prepare [Hemostatic Ointment], except for the main material [Blood Mistletoe Vine] which grows in deep mountains and old forests, it is difficult to collect. The other auxiliary materials are all ordinary things.

, it should be available at any medicinal shop.

If these [Blood Mistletoe Vine] can be bought and made into [Hemostatic Ointment] for sale, even if the currency value of this era is different from that of his era, the price of medicines will not be too low no matter what era. In theory,

He should be able to raise enough money for tuition!

With a slight cough, Jialan squatted down in front of the stall and "casually" looked through the things on the stall. This was just the outskirts of the market. Not to mention shops, there were not even formal stalls. A large number of all kinds of strange things were sold.

Vendors of groceries just lay down a piece of animal skin or linen on both sides of the road along the roadside or the wall of a building, and display their goods.

As for this vendor, he was wearing shabby linen clothes, black, with a thin face covered with ravine-like wrinkles, and his deep-set brown eyes were a little cloudy. When he saw Jialan squatting down in front of his stall, he immediately grinned.

He showed a flattering, fearful and sincere smile on his lips, obviously hoping that Jialan could buy something from his stall.

This is an ordinary country farmer, and what he puts on his stall, apart from [Blood Mistletoe Vine], are just some ordinary blueberries, wild strawberries, gold hearts, passion fruits and the like.

wild fruits.

It looks like he collected some fruits and brought them to the market to sell in his spare time while farming to earn some pocket money to support his family. He was not a mercenary or adventurer who ventured deep into the jungle.

This made Jialan a little confused. [Blood Mistletoe Vine] was obviously not a fruit, and its taste was extremely bitter. There was absolutely no possibility of it being picked as a fruit by mistake.

Did he accidentally discover a clump of [Blood Mistletoe Vine] by chance? Or maybe the farmer didn't know this kind of [Blood Mistletoe Vine] at all, but just found that its blood-red sap was very strange, so he picked it and got the magic

Come try your luck at the market where teachers appear?

After all, in the eyes of mortals, those mysterious spellcasters are always interested in strange stones, weird bugs and poisonous-looking plants.

Picking up a piece of [Blood Mistletoe Vine] and checking it out, these dried branches seemed to have been dried, so they were very dry, which made Jialan feel a little regretful. Fresh [Blood Mistletoe Vine] is most suitable for preparing potions. After drying,

Although the medicinal properties will not be lost, it does require some additional extraction procedures and is more troublesome to process.

Before Jialan asked the price, Ailan on the side was curious and squatted down beside him with his knees in his arms, staring at the [Blood Mistletoe Vine] in Jialan's hand: "Jialan, you want to buy the 'Kou Dan Vine'

'What?"

Coming from a small rural village in Tarandol, she was not very interested in the pretty good-looking wild fruits on the stalls. She was just curious as to why Jialan, as a male, would be interested in this kind of kodan vine.

"You said blood... uh... this blood-red vine is called Codan Vine?"

Jialan looked at her in astonishment, and the girl said with a smile: "Yes! In [Maigen Village] we call it 'Pigeon's Blood Vine', and sometimes the aunts in the village will pick some to dye the cloth. Of course, it

There are also some other functions, you see..."

As she said that, the girl took a piece of [Blood Mistletoe Vine], dipped some saliva into it with her slender white fingers, rubbed it gently on its dark smooth section, and then applied it on her delicate pink lips.

On the lips, the flower-like cherry lips were suddenly stained with a layer of beautiful purple-red color, making the girl's originally innocent face look more seductive and coquettish.

"...It can actually be used to paint nails! But you still need some resin."

The girl pursed her petal-like lips and showed her colored fingertips to Jialan. Jialan was speechless for a moment. What did Ailan just say? Use [Blood Mistletoe Vine] as a dye to dye cloth.

?This...this...is a bit too luxurious?

As for using it to smear lips and nails, he had little contact with women when he was in the "Colanburg Library", so he really didn't know that [Blood Mistletoe Vine] had such a function.

"How many of these 'pigeon blood vines' are there?"

Jialan is a little unbelievable. Although [Blood Mistletoe Vine] is not a rare medicinal material, the quantity is not large enough to be used as a dye, right?

The farmer setting up the stall showed a flattering smile, took off the old straw hat on his head and put it on his chest, diligently selling his goods: "Sir, although pigeon blood vine is very common, it is not found in the [Cape Peninsula] area.

It does not grow and can only be collected from the dense forests above the mountainside of the [Haiqiang Mountains]. Moreover, I specially select older vines for picking. The color is very strong. Do you need to buy some?"

Very common? Wait!!!

Jialan's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized a problem. Now is not his original era. It is assumed that people in this era do not know the medicinal value of [Blood Mistletoe Vine], and the amount of [Blood Mistletoe Vine] is scarce due to large-scale harvesting.

Blood Mistletoe Vine], and after more than a thousand years, no one has cared about cultivating health...

Swallowing secretly, Jialan turned to the girl with bright eyes and said, "Alan, can you lend me some coins first? I think I might be able to make something with these pigeon blood vines."

"Making something? Do you want to refine the purple pigment used in dyeing?"

Ai Lan shook his head in confusion, and the penniless Jia Lan had to try his best to persuade the girl, the "big financier", to invest: "Hmm, yes, maybe I can make some cosmetics, such as lipstick and eye shadow.

Something like that..."

The girl asked curiously: "Cosmetics? Lipstick? Eyeshadow? What is that?"

In order to conceal the true efficacy of [Blood Mistletoe Vine] and prevent farmers from raising prices, Jialan blurted out some new terms and was dumbfounded. He didn't know why he made up some terms that he had never heard of.

.

Fortunately, the girl didn't care. She took out the coins from her pocket and asked, "Do you need a lot of pigeon's blood vine to refine the purple pigment?"
