Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 140 Xuanwu
The lobby of Xuanwu Medicine Hall is spacious and bright. Facing the gate is a strip-shaped mahogany counter more than three feet long. Several staff are busy taking and weighing medicines for guests from the "Haizi Cabinet" drawer behind the counter.

There are many finished medicinal materials for practicing exercises on the shelves on both sides. The signs on the shelves say Yiqi Decoction, Huichun Decoction, Juli Pill, Diamond Pill...

More than a dozen warriors in different training uniforms were picking medicinal materials from the shelves, while several waiters in green shirts were explaining the properties of the medicinals.

Zhao Lin took a glance, and found that these waiters were all martial arts, and one of the older waiters was full of blood, and he was actually at the first level of Qi.

"Guest officer, do you buy raw medicinal materials or refined prescriptions? The medicinal materials in this shop are all produced in Yanxing Mountain, and the quality is high. Feel free to choose."

A waiter in blue shirt saw Zhao Lin walking in, and smiled and greeted him.

Noticing that Zhao Lin was wearing Xingyunzong's exercise clothes, the waiter slightly clasped his fists, "So he's from the same sect."

Zhao Lin nodded, and pulled out a list from his sleeve, "Grab medicine according to this list, and each medicine costs one penny."

The waiter took a look and saw that the list read: Shenshi, Diyuan, Hujustem, Qingpizhi, Yekucao...the names of hundreds of medicinal materials in total.

"There are so many medicinal materials, and each one costs a penny. It seems that it can't be used as a prescription?" The waiter was a little puzzled.

"I have my own use!" Zhao Linxi said like gold.

The names of the medicines on the list are all collected from the Tianshui Pavilion's notes. They have different tastes, some heavy and some light. Zhao Lin bought these medicines just to train his nose, and of course they don't need too much weight.

"Okay, I'll let the guy grab the medicine."

The waiter didn't say anything, turned around and walked to the counter, and handed the list to an idle guy.

The clerk took the medicine list, stuck out his tongue lightly, and skillfully grabbed the medicine from the Baizi cabinet, wrapped it in straw paper, and wrote the name of the medicine with a vermilion pen.

"Man, don't you need to weigh the medicine?" Zhao Lin asked curiously when he saw that the man only took the medicine and didn't need to weigh it.

"Returning to the guest officer, the little one has been working here for five years, grabbing medicine thousands of times a day. Practice makes perfect, no matter what it is, once you grab it, you will know it."

As the buddy said in his mouth, his hands were still fast, and he packed the medicine in a short while.

"It turns out that you are familiar with it."

Zhao Lin praised, his eyes flicked over the Baizi cabinet, his nose moved, and he pointed to the top row of medicine boxes and asked, "Are those rare medicinal materials?"

The clerk glanced back, nodded and said, "Exactly, these medicinal materials are rare treasures in Yanyun Mountain, and only warriors have the ability to collect them."

"Xingyunzong only releases a little each season, and it is often out of stock. Do you want to buy it?"

Zhao Lin said noncommittally: "You take out a little of each, I'll smell it... No, I'll take a look."

He certainly can't afford such expensive medicinal materials, but as long as he smells it and remembers the taste, he will achieve his goal.

Zhao Lin asked Senior Brother Liao and Senior Brother Gu to find out. Before harvesting in the autumn, the elders would introduce the exotic flowers and herbs in Yanyun Mountain to the disciples, so that they can be easily identified when collecting herbs.

However, I will only introduce their appearance and growth environment. As for the taste, I can only mention a few words at most, which is far from enough for Zhao Lin, so I want to come to the medicine hall to smell it in advance.

"Guest officer, wait a moment."

The man moved a wooden box, stepped on it, took out a little of each medicine on the top layer, put them on the counter, and introduced them one by one.

"This is the red tiger scorpion slough, this is the earth blood ginseng, and this is the sky vermilion fruit..."

"Speak slowly..."

Zhao Lin casually put a piece of silver weighing more than one or two taels on the table, pushed it in front of the waiter, then slapped each herb with his hand, and inhaled it into his nose.

The taste of the rare herbs is really different, some are pungent and pungent, while others are light and fragrant. Zhao Lin secretly remembers the smell and name of each herb in his heart.

After the medicinal materials are dried, the taste will become stronger, and the gas will also change, but the main flavor can still be retained.

As long as there are these medicinal materials on the mountain, you can find them by yourself!

The clerk stared at Zhao Lin dumbfounded, and forgot to take the tip, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Ahem...Guest officer, what is this?"

"Okay, let's put it back." Zhao Lin just sniffed it fiercely, and then said with satisfaction after finishing.

Is it possible that just by smelling it, you can increase your skills?
The corner of the guy's mouth twitched, but for the sake of the tip, he didn't say much, and put the medicinal materials back.

The accountant received the list of medicinal materials handed over by the clerk, "Pi Li Pa La" calculated for a while, and sang: "98 medicinal materials, a total of 12 taels and 320 yuan."

"Really expensive!"

Zhao Lin sighed in his heart, paid the money, took the packaged medicinal materials, and left Xuanwu Medicine Hall.

……

Returning to Xingyunzong, Zhao Lin began to concentrate on practicing martial arts.

If you want to get a high ranking in the autumn harvest, it is not enough to improve your sense of smell, you must have the ability to keep it.

Otherwise, if you picked a lot of rare herbs and someone took them away, wouldn't you be making a wedding dress for others?
And practicing martial arts is not only to keep the harvest, but also to beware of strange beasts.

Wherever exotic flowers and weeds grow, there are often exotic beasts accompanying them.

For safety reasons, the mountain tops selected by the elders for the disciples of the Elephant Elephant Academy generally do not contain overly powerful beasts.

But the strange beasts were not ordinary beasts after all, they were either highly poisonous, had sharp claws, or had rough skin and thick flesh, and there were also insects like iron-toothed ants that appeared in large numbers, and even blood-level warriors would look away from them.

Not to mention, if it wasn't for the old age and frailty of the bear in Paektu Mountain, plus being attacked and all kinds of despicable methods.

In a head-on confrontation, Zhao Lin may not be able to win it now.

……

In the center of the Elephant Dance Academy, there is a large school yard.

In the early morning, dozens of disciples were bathed in the morning light to exercise their bodies. Some practiced boxing alone, and some had a competition test.

There is a row of practice rooms made of large stones on the west side of the school grounds, and there is a faint sound of gold and stone colliding in one of the practice rooms.

The heat was steaming above Zhao Lin's head, and his fist hit the rough target, blood poured into his fist, and his entire palm was flushed red.

The energy is gathered near the Zhongchong acupoint on the tip of the middle finger, and with every collision of the fist, the acupoint is constantly vibrating.

In order to achieve the great success of Shi Xiao Fist, Zhao Lin drank a big bowl of general soup early in the morning, and hardly felt any pain.

collapse……

Once the heat is up, the strength of the ten acupoints finally become one!
The color of the knuckles on the two fists changed again, not the bluish-white color of the bone training period in the strength realm, but a light gray-white color, like a hard rock.

Zhao Lin felt the strength in his hand form an iron plate, as if he was wearing a layer of armor. When he waved it, the strong wind howled.

Shi Xiao Fist is a great success!
"Not bad!"

Zhao Lin nodded slightly, with a satisfied look on his face.

Although the upper limit of Shi Xiaoquan is not high, it is enough at the stage of Qi Realm, and when it is practiced to a great degree, it can block ordinary swords and swords.

"If someone dares to hit me, let him taste the taste of these fists..."

Time is like water, slowly flowing into September.
