Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 142 Everything is ready
Although the effect of five or six pills is not as good as that of moistening pills, it can directly help warriors break through from the realm of strength to the realm of energy.

However, if the strength disciples from the outer court were to choose between these two pills, as long as their talents were above average, they would most likely choose five or six pills.

There is no other reason, the way of martial arts, the more you go up, the harder it is to break through, and it is more vigorous to compare.

There are many people who advance by leaps and bounds in the early stage, but stop at the end of their lives when they reach the Qi state.

Although five or six pills can only increase the breakthrough probability by about [-]%, in the minds of most warriors, the weight is even more important.

This is the difference in realm.

Zhao Lin thought about it, although he has a spirit beast map to promote physical evolution, his root bone is already a top-notch talent, and he is the best among his peers.

However, which one in the Dancing Elephant Academy is not a natural talent?
I heard that there were two disciples who broke through to the blood realm and entered the inner court a few years ago.

For this five or six elixir, Qiucai's top spot must also be won!

All the disciples also had the same idea. Herbal gathering is not a martial arts competition. There is a lot of luck in it. What if I get lucky and pick a top-quality herb?

They all paid attention to this autumn harvest.

Elder Shui Jing saw that his disciples were showing fighting spirit, and his face looked better, he waved to the door, and immediately filed in with seven or eight officers.

The clerks held wooden trays in their hands, and there was a stack of rucksacks on the trays, which were distributed to everyone.

"These are the things you need to bring into the mountain, please check to see if they are complete..."

Elder Shui Jing said calmly, and then introduced the purpose.

Zhao Lin was also assigned a bundle, and when he opened it, he saw that there were food bags, water bags, blankets, two medicine bags, a pair of leg guards, and a small shovel inside.

There is also a bamboo tube and sandalwood box, I don't know what they are used for.

Needless to say, the food bags and water bags are definitely for food and water, and the blankets keep warm when resting.

These few things are essential to survive in the deep mountains and dense forests for three days.

The leg guard is treated suede, which is flexible and strong, and it can prevent snake and insect bites when worn on the legs.

The small shovel is naturally used to dig up medicinal herbs. Some rare medicinal herbs are most valuable at their roots, which are buried deep in the ground, so digging with bare hands is definitely not enough.

"The medicine sac is used to repel insects?"

The two medicine sacs, one black and one white, are half the size of a palm, bulging, and the top is tied with a rope.

Zhao Lin grabbed the medicine sachets and sniffed them separately. He immediately recognized that the white medicine sachet smelled similar to the Jinchuang medicine used in Liuhemen before, but the black medicine sachet had never smelled before.

At this time Elder Shui Jing just introduced here, and said: "The white medicine sachet contains Jinchuang medicine, and the black medicine sachet is an antidote. It can be applied externally or taken internally."

"Be sure to bring it with you when you enter the mountain. It may save your life in a critical moment."

Zhao Lin nodded silently, put down the medicine bag, and picked up the bamboo tube.

The bamboo tube is semi-sealed, and there is a small hole in the lid, from which there is a faint smell of sulfur, rosin, and camphor.

Zhao Lin weighed it twice, and said to himself: "Huozhezi?"

Huozhezi is a commonly used fire starter. There is a section of compacted potato vines in it. After lighting it, blow off the open flame, cover it with a lid, and let it smolder slowly.

When using, open the cover, blow or shake it a few times, fresh air will pour in, and an open flame will be born immediately.

It's just that this bamboo tube is a bit longer and heavier than the fire pockets I used before, so it seems inconvenient to just use it to make fire.

However, after listening to Elder Shui Jing's explanation, Zhao Lin suddenly understood.

It turned out that there was indeed a fire pocket in the bamboo tube, but it was not used to light the fire.

There is also a section of warning fireworks inside. Open the bamboo tube and blow hard, the fire will rekindle, and then the fireworks will be lit.

The fireworks are specially made, and the fireworks are blown out and accompanied by a whistle.

"We will be stationed at several key points in the mountains. Once we see fireworks or hear the whistle, we will leave immediately. Remember, these warning fireworks can only be used when life is in danger!"

Elder Shui Jing solemnly exhorted.

"You also have to be more mindful. If you encounter a strange beast that you can't afford to provoke, try to stay away, otherwise we will not be able to rescue it no matter how fast we move."

Zhao Lin opened the sandalwood box while listening.

At first glance, the sandalwood box looks like a food box without a handle. The mouth is tightly seamed, and the surroundings are lined with lime paper. Dozens of peppercorns are scattered at the bottom, exuding a pungent smell.

"Such a big box to hold this pepper?"

Zhao Lin frowned, unable to guess what the box was for.

After listening to Elder Shui Jing's explanation, he realized that the sandalwood box was used to store medicinal herbs.

Most of the rare medicinal herbs are tender and delicate, especially medicinal materials such as flower petals and leaves, which start to wilt within half a day after leaving the soil, and the efficacy of the medicine is greatly reduced.

Packed in a dry and sealed storage box, it can be stored for a long time.

"Elder, why don't you have a knife?"

Zhang Xiaoshan shook off his burden twice and asked.

"Hmph, you are usually afraid of being tired and tired, and you don't practice fist strength and palm strength, now you know you are in a hurry?"

Elder Shui Jing taught him a lesson first, and then said: "Since you are allowed to snatch medicinal herbs by hand, how can you bring sharp weapons? If so, how many lives will be lost!"

"Then what should I do if I encounter a strange beast?"

Zhang Xiaoshan pinched his teeth and said.

"Everyone brings a stick of beef tendon, which is enough to deal with poisonous beasts and insects."

Elder Shui Jing waved his hand, and an officer came in carrying two bundles of beef tendon sticks, and distributed one to each of them.

Zhao Lin used the beef tendon stick as early as in Liuhemen. It is tough and strong, not easy to break, and it is easy to hold.

Next, several deacons who passed on the practice took turns to explain to the disciples how to find rare medicinal herbs.

Such as where they grow, how they look and smell, and sometimes some dried herbs are passed on to everyone.

Although the old disciples had participated in the autumn gathering before, they all listened intently for five or six pills, not to mention new disciples like Zhao Lin.

When eating in the dining hall at noon, the disciples talked about five or six pills, and even people who were not very familiar with each other suddenly became warm.

"Old Wei, which mountain do you think Qiucai is on?"

In the corner of the dining hall, Zhang Xiaoshan said to an old disciple.

"Why are you asking about this? Is it possible that you still want to check in early?"

The old disciple replied lukewarmly.

"It's not enough to step on the spot, it's probably a forbidden area. That's what I think, if I know which mountain it is, and there are so many notes in Tianshui Pavilion, maybe I can find something."

Zhao Lin's ears twitched, thinking that Xiao Shan's mind was alive.

I just heard the old disciple say: "It's a good idea, but it doesn't work. I guess even the elder doesn't know about it."

"What?"

"Think about it, the ranking of our medicinal herbs is also related to the face of the elders. Of course they want their disciples to be in the front. If they know which mountain it is, there is no guarantee that they will not disclose it to us in advance."

"I heard that the elders usually select a few hills in advance, and discuss the results on the first night. That's fine, don't take advantage of anyone."

"It makes sense..." Zhang Xiaoshan said disappointedly.

For the next two days, the disciples' minds were all on autumn harvesting. Apart from listening to the deacon's explanation of rare medicinal herbs, many people also went to Tianshui Pavilion to read related books.

Tianshui Pavilion was overcrowded for a while, all the disciples from various courtyards who were about to participate in the autumn gathering...

Time passed quickly, and finally it was the day of autumn picking.
