Dou Po's Endless Devour
Chapter 3 Devouring medicinal herbs
Seeing his third brother returning to his room to practice, Xiao Ding's smile faded and his eyes far away.
"Xiao Yanzi, your elder brother, I have a system and know many things in the future. Grandpa, I will accept it. It will definitely be of greater value."
He turned back.
Sitting cross-legged to practice, Yao Lao did not immediately secretly absorb his fighting spirit.
Xiao Ding was not in a hurry. After all, there was a new person, so it was normal to be cautious.
He practiced as usual, but after half a month, the fighting spirit he absorbed suddenly disappeared.
Pretending to be surprised, he investigated specifically, but in the end he couldn't find the reason.
His cultivation level is low at the moment, he really can't find it, and he is not cheating.
If he hadn't known about Yao Lao's existence, he would probably have regarded it as a strange disease like Xiao Yan.
"Just suck it, old guy, and you'll get your money back with interest!"
Xiao Ding hummed in his heart and continued to use the power of the system to practice.
He couldn't discover Yaolao, and Yaolao couldn't discover the existence of the system either. He only thought it was a special bloodline power.
Xiao Ding's cultivation speed dropped by half. He thought that in addition to the fighting spirit in the void, the system could also swallow medicine.
"Take drugs and let Yao Lao recover as soon as possible. I want to get the Burning Jue!"
Xiao Ding decided secretly.
After being promoted to a fighter, he needs an advanced skill to practice, and Burning Technique is the most suitable one.
Although this technique is the lowest level at the beginning, it can grow and is much better than having to go through the trouble of practicing a mysterious level technique later.
He got all his money, collected the wallets of his two younger brothers, and took them to a small market alone.
He didn't want any elixirs, so he planned to secretly buy medicinal materials to try.
He felt that the drug category must include medicinal materials.
My eyes moved around the stalls along the street. There were all kinds of herbs, medicines, weapons and even World of Warcraft crystal cores.
He stopped in front of a pile of ginseng, picked up one and observed it.
"Ding, medicinal materials detected!"
"If it meets the conditions for swallowing, do you want to swallow it?"
Xiao Ding asked calmly: "Boss, how do you sell it?"
"The small one is ten gold coins each, and the big one is twenty gold coins each." The man who set up the stall answered as he took a puff of dry cigarette.
"I'll buy more medicinal materials, give me a discount." Xiao Ding only had a few hundred gold coins in his pocket, so he naturally wanted to buy as much as possible.
"If you buy more than one hundred gold coins, I will give you a 10% discount, a 20% discount for three hundred gold coins, and a 30% discount for a thousand gold coins."
The uncle said cheerfully, they basically sell medicinal materials at a discount to whoever buys more.
Xiao Ding took some ginseng, angelica and various medicinal materials, most of which were tonics, some for healing and detoxifying, about ten kinds. After spending all the money, he left with a pack of medicinal materials.
Back inside, he asked the servant to prepare a bucket of hot water, and then took off the ring.
To determine Yaolao's current situation, it is natural to avoid it in the name of taking a bath as much as possible.
In the steaming water, Xiao Ding picked up a ginseng and swallowed it directly.
A pure medicinal power appeared in his body without a trace of impurities. As the medicinal power spread, his whole body felt warm.
After practicing, part of the energy in the medicine was directly converted into Dou Qi, and the other part was absorbed by the body, allowing him to absorb Dou Qi faster.
"It's really effective. It should be that the system only swallows the essence. Otherwise, if I just take ginseng, it will have no effect."
Xiao Ding glanced at the ginseng thoughtfully. The ginseng became shriveled and dull, without its original luster, as if it was decayed.
He shook hands and with a hiss, the ginseng was crushed into dregs and fell into the barrel.
"It's so brittle, it's completely rotten and has no essence at all."
Xiao Ding was surprised, it was indeed swallowed by the system, it was really clean, not a single bit was left.
Picking up the medicinal materials and continuing to devour them, wisps of pure medicinal power continued to enter the body.
This medicinal power is ten times or more than what the body can absorb when simply taking medicinal herbs, otherwise the effect would not be so obvious.
"The value of the medicinal materials has also been revealed more than ten times, which is very suitable for a poor guy like me."
Xiao Ding thought happily and continued to actively absorb the medicinal power.
This is a tonic. Its medicinal power can not only strengthen his body, but also promote his cultivation speed, which is comparable to the power of more precious elixirs.
After trying the tonic, he swallowed the healing herbs and was still able to strengthen his body, and some of the hidden wounds in his body were also repaired by the medicine.
The most amazing thing is that when he swallowed a calming medicinal material, its medicinal power made Xiao Ding's head as quiet as water, without any distracting thoughts, and his induction of fighting spirit became much stronger.
He simply combined and absorbed them, just like an alchemist combining different medicinal materials when making medicine. He directly combined the medicinal power, which actually almost doubled the speed of cultivation.
Half a day passed, and in the evening, Xiao Ding stopped with a rosy face. His cultivation level had increased a lot, and only about one-twentieth of the medicinal materials had been consumed.
The price was too cheap. He estimated that elixirs with similar effects were worth more than a hundred times as much as these medicinal materials, which he could not afford at this stage.
"Although I haven't used elixirs yet, the effect of this method is better than taking elixirs, and there are no negative effects at all."
Xiao Ding looked satisfied. What he was devouring was the purest medicinal power in the medicinal materials. However, there were still some toxins in the elixir, which were harmful to the body. Ordinary people should not take too much.
Comparing the two, this method can completely overwhelm the effect of other people taking pills.
Especially if he prepares medicinal materials in a certain proportion of elixirs and then devours them at the same time, the purest medicinal combination will probably be more effective than the best elixirs!
In this case, wouldn't he be able to replace the elixir with a combination of medicinal materials?
The only problem is that the materials required for even the lowest-level elixirs are quite expensive. One set is estimated to cost thousands of gold coins, which he cannot afford at the moment.
"Isn't there a little rich woman?"
Xiao Ding gave a bad laugh, got up from the bucket, washed away the medicinal residue on his body with water, put on his clothes, put on his ring and swaggered to Xun'er's room.
He did not throw away the ring, preparing to give Yao Lao the illusion that he was using medicine to solve his problems.
"Wow, it smells like medicine. Brother Xiao Ding, what did you do?"
Xun'er pouted her red cherry mouth and pinched her nose, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Well, my brother has been feeling a little unwell recently and took a medicinal bath."
Xiao Ding smiled awkwardly. He was probably used to soaking in the medicinal dregs and didn't notice how strong the medicinal smell was on his body.
"Ah, brother Xiao Ding, are you sick?"
Xun'er let go of her nose, her big eyes felt a little distressed, and with short hands, she ran to the bed and stood on tiptoes to touch Xiao Ding's forehead.
"It's okay, I encountered a small problem while practicing, just take some medicine and it will be fine!"
Xiao Ding rubbed Xun'er's head and said, "Come on, let's do the daily tasks."
"No, brother Xiao Ding, you don't feel well, so you don't need to help Xun'er cleanse his muscles and cut his marrow."
Xun'er clasped her little hands behind her back and shook her head like an adult.
"Your brother, I have profound cultivation. Cleaning your tendons and cutting your marrow is just child's play. It won't waste much fighting energy, but it will determine how long you can bear it."
Xiao Ding grinned, sat Xun'er down, and began to cleanse the muscles and marrow.
Xun'er's beautiful eyes showed emotion.
Although she was very peaceful in the Xiao family, she had no relatives after all. Xiao Ding's concern made her heart extremely warm.
