Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 30: Herb Illustrated Book
On the way to the guest room, Lin Rong asked the young man who led the way:
"I heard that the nobles are very familiar with all kinds of medicinal herbs in the world, and the medicinal herb atlas in the family is also very complete in terms of the types of medicinal herbs."

"I have been interested in herbs since I was a child. I wonder if I can have the honor of viewing the herbal illustrations recorded by the nobles?"

The young man thought about Lin Rong's identity and replied after a little thought:

"Of course, it's not a problem for ordinary herbal illustrations, but if it involves a rare copy that is treasured by the clan, then we need the clan leader's permission."

"Given your status, the herbal illustrations you want to see are nothing more than the only copies treasured by my clan."

"The clan leader is already in the alchemy room, so it's inconvenient for us clan members to disturb him."

"Please wait until the clan leader has prepared the antidote, and then go and communicate this request to the clan leader in person."

Well said.

The legendary immortal herbs would certainly not be recorded in ordinary herbal atlases, but in the unique copy treasured by the Poyi clan.

The reason why Lin Rong specially asked Bai He to write a letter of introduction was because he wanted Yang Wudi to give Bai He's face and allow him to have the honor of seeing the illustrated book of the immortal herbs recorded by the Pozhi clan.

Only if you know how to pick and preserve those magical herbs will things become much easier.

If you can't get it, you can only dig up those magical herbs with their roots and soil.

Anyway, Lin Rong still remembers how to use those magical herbs.

……

the other side.

Yang Wudi was very angry because his ability to refine medicine was questioned by a seven-year-old child.

This time, in order to refine an antidote that could resist the poisonous miasma, he put all his true skills into refining the antidote to achieve the best efficacy.

For this purpose, Yang Wudi also took out a lot of treasured herbs to make medicine.

Snakeberry, Solanum nigrum, Cnidium monnieri, Paris polyphylla, Lobelia...

Under the medicine cauldron, flames were burning fiercely.

Yang Wudi added the required herbs into the medicine cauldron one by one according to the amount, and used his soul power and mental power to control the process of refining the medicine.

The raging flames made Yang Wudi's face red.

At this moment, as he entered the state of refining medicine, the anger just now disappeared from Yin Jiu's eyes, leaving only the obsession and fanaticism for refining medicine.

Under this condition, the process of refining the antidote proceeded in an orderly manner.

The Golden Crow falls in the west and the Jade Rabbit rises in the east.

The stars disappeared into the sky, and the east was already bright.

Day two.

Lin Rong and the old housekeeper were invited to the living room early in the morning, and were told that the antidote to the poisonous miasma had been prepared.

As soon as they arrived in the living room, they saw Yang Wudi's unkempt appearance. They knew at a glance that he had stayed up all night, which was why he was able to refine the antidote for the poisonous miasma so quickly.

"Here! Here is the antidote you wanted."

When Yang Wudi saw Lin Rong coming in, he pointed at the three porcelain bottles on the table and introduced them:

"After taking this antidote, its effect will last for an hour."

"During this period, this poisonous miasma will have no effect on those who have taken the antidote."

"I have made three bottles of antidote. Each bottle contains ten pills, for a total of thirty pills."

"One price, thirty thousand gold soul coins!"

Thirty thousand gold soul coins?
There are thirty pills in total, and each pill costs one thousand gold soul coins. It is quite expensive, but it is definitely worth the price.

Lin Rong thought to himself and took out three gold soul coin cards and placed them on the table, each with a face value of 10,000 gold soul coins.

"Of course. One hand pays the other hand receives the goods. Although I am young, I still understand this principle." Then, Lin Rong poured out an antidote from a porcelain bottle and swallowed it. Then he took out a bottle of poison miasma, placed it in front of his mouth and nose, and took a deep breath.

The poisonous miasma entered his body, but he was safe and sound, proving that the antidote was effective.

Lin Rong's innate domain can transform this poisonous miasma into pure life force.

The reason why he came to Yang Wudi to refine the antidote was simply because Lin Rong’s current soul power cultivation was too low, and it would take time to transform the poisonous miasma.

The large area of ​​poisonous miasma outside the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is too large for Lin Rong to break through with his current spiritual power.

But just inhale a little bit of the poisonous miasma picked from the outermost part, and the transformation will take only a few seconds, so there is no need to worry about whether the antidote will be effective.

Therefore, he had no psychological burden when testing the efficacy of the antidote.

But Yang Wudi didn't know, so Lin Rong's action made him both angry and admired.

He was angry that Lin Rong didn't believe him and wanted to test the efficacy of the medicine; but at the same time, he admired Lin Rong for daring to take the risk and test the efficacy of the antidote himself.

After testing the efficacy of the medicine, Lin Rong put away the three porcelain bottles containing the antidote, looked at Yang Wudi and said:
"Patriarch Yang, to be honest, I came to the Poyi Clan for two reasons."

"One is to ask you to refine the antidote for this poisonous miasma, and the other is to borrow the rare herbal illustration book that is treasured by the nobles to have a look."

"Illustrated encyclopedia of medicinal herbs? It's a rare copy!" After hearing this, Yang Wudi's eyes narrowed immediately.

"What do you want this for? Did you find some rare herb and need to confirm its efficacy?"

"Or maybe, the area in your mouth that is surrounded by the poisonous miasma is where many precious medicinal herbs grow."

Yang Wudi didn't think in the direction of immortal herbs.

Because for thousands of years, those immortal herbs only existed in the herb atlas of the Poyi clan, and no ancestors had ever encountered them.

"Patriarch Yang guessed correctly." Lin Rong said what he had prepared in advance:
"That place was discovered by one of my family's guards who has the cultivation level of Soul King."

"He accidentally entered the poisonous miasma and discovered that there were many medicinal herbs growing in it, some of which he could not recognize."

"My guard had a higher resistance to toxins because of his martial spirit, so he was able to escape from the poisonous miasma."

"Although the poison has been suppressed afterwards, there is no good doctor in Tiandou City who can completely eliminate the poison."

"So, the antidote I'm looking for on this trip is, first, to save my guard, and second, to be able to enter the poisonous miasma to pick herbs."

"But most rare herbs require specific picking techniques and preservation methods, so I thought of borrowing the herb illustrations collected by the nobles to take a look."

"I wonder if Patriarch Yang would be willing to lend me the illustrated guide?"

"This..." Yang Wudi hesitated.

Logically, he should have refused directly, but the man in front of him was introduced by Old White Bird after all, and he didn't want to offend his good brother.

For a moment, I was in a dilemma.

After hesitating for a long time, Yang Wudi finally agreed and said:
"For Old White Bird's sake, I will make an exception this time."

"However, you can only watch here for half an hour."

Lin Rong was delighted when he heard this and replied:

"Thank you, Patriarch Yang. I understand now!"

He took the old book that Yang Wudi took out from the soul guide with both hands, and opened it to read it page by page.

If Lin Rong hadn't been afraid that Yang Wudi would notice something, he would have directly turned to the pages recording the immortal herbs.

But Yang Wudi was watching right beside him, so Lin Rong could only be patient and read page by page.

After working hard, he finally finished turning every page of the atlas within half an hour, and successfully memorized the detailed information of those magical herbs.
