I'm not a pet

Chapter 133 Cistanche

"Do you know if the master has found Cistanche?" Lu Yunchu thought for a while and asked Xiang Fuling.

Hearing this question, Fu Ling looked around the inn hall where there was no one else, approached Lu Yunchu and whispered: "The man in black robe came to the inn to find Master for the last time, and Master drove me out of the door and only the two of them were left in the room to talk secretly. Standing outside the door, I vaguely heard him tell the black-robed man that the only thing missing is Cistanche cistanche... and when Master mentioned this, he was very excited..."

So, the main purpose of the black-robed man looking for Hua Hezi was to refine the elixir?What is the effect of this pill?Heal or...?
Lu Yunchu's eyes were deep, he didn't ask any more questions, and brought the little pig back to the room.

They thought they would find Hua Hezi without any effort, and they also got information about the man in black along the way, but they didn't expect that the whereabouts of the two people they were looking for were still unknown.

"Lu Yunchu, at least from Fu Ling's narration, we can be sure that Hua Hezi and the man in black have had contact, and there seems to be some kind of ulterior secret between the two of them."

Seeing that Lu Yunchu kept his head down in thought, Xiaozhu thought he was frustrated because he failed to find the two people, so he spoke to comfort him.

"Since there is a connection between the two of them, maybe we only need to find out the trace of one of them, and we can follow the clues to find the other."

After hearing Xiao Zhu's analysis, Lu Yunchu recovered from his contemplation.

He never doubted the cleverness of the little pig.Sometimes the little pig is very clever, especially when the little pig occasionally analyzes human nature with him, he always has the illusion that the little pig is not an animal at all, but more like a human being.

Caressing the little pig's head, he said gently but worriedly: "I was just thinking, what kind of elixir is that elixir that Hua Hezi wants to refine, and what is its use?"

If it's a pill for healing, that's fine, but if it's...

"Do you need to think about it? Since it was after the appearance of the black-robed man that Hua Hezi came up with the idea of ​​refining this elixir, then this elixir must not be as simple as curing diseases and wounds, it must be some heretical elixirs! And A pill that can make the number one genius doctor in Mafa Continent excited, and threatens to make himself famous in history, then its effect must be so powerful that it is unique..."

When listening to Fuling talk about this before, Xiaozhu had already thought about this question: "Think about it, what is the goal that the man in black wants to achieve most?"

"Those who become demons are all people with bad intentions. The reason why they become demons is because they want to forcibly reach the realm of cultivation that they cannot reach..."

Lu Yunchu was thinking according to Xiaozhu's question, and when he said this, his eyes widened suddenly: "Could it be that the elixir that Hua Hezi wants to refine is actually used to help the black-robed man quickly reach the peak state of cultivation?" ?”

"Hmm!" Little Pig nodded in agreement with his idea.

It's all written like this in novels, villains always like to use some heresy ways to take shortcuts to achieve their goal of becoming the ultimate villain.Among them, using pills to quickly improve one's cultivation is one of the most common methods.

Although Lu Yunchu had thought of this earlier, he was still unwilling to believe such a fact.

If this is what they guessed, once Hua Hezi succeeds in refining the pill and it is obtained by an enchanted man like the black robe man, there will be no peace in Mafa Continent from now on.

Seeing that the light in Lu Yunchu's eyes was getting darker, Xiaozhu knew what he was worried about.

"Don't worry, didn't Fu Ling say that Hua Hezi said before he left that he still couldn't find cistanche? We just need to dig up all the cistanche in the desert before they do, so that they have nothing to pick. If you can't dig it, you can't dig it...they won't be able to refine this pill?"

Well, the little pig suddenly found out that he was really smart!But, will this be too much work?

Lu Yunchu was amused by her saying that she had dug up "all" cistanches in the desert, leaving Hua Hezi with "nothing to pick, nothing to dig". He touched her forehead with his fingers and said:
"There is no need to be so troublesome. I heard that only one mature Cistanche is produced in the desert every hundred years, and if the Cistanche has not been excavated in the previous hundred years, then the new Cistanche will not be produced again."

"You mean, at the same time, there will only be one cistanche in the desert? And if the previous one is excavated, the next one will not grow until 100 years later?"

"That's what it means."

Cistanche, the little pig knows it.It is a parasitic plant called "desert ginseng", which grows on the roots of desert trees. In reality, Cistanche deserticola is a traditional Chinese medicine with extremely nourishing effects.

Cistanche, she has never heard of it, maybe it is a unique product of Mafa Continent?According to Lu Yunchu, this cistanche has such a long growth cycle, and there can only be one plant of cistanche in the whole desert at a time, so isn't this cistanche the king of the desert?
"Then it will be easier! We just need to find this Cistanche plant before them, and everything will be fine!"

The man in black came to Hua Hezi at this time, and now that Hua Hezi has been away and has not returned, it must be the time when Cistanche is ripe.Hua Hezi probably went to the desert to look for cistanche, but he is not sure, did he go alone or two together?
After hearing her finish, Lu Yunchu was not in a hurry, pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I don't think we need to go to the desert to wade in the muddy water. The desert is so big, where does Cistanche grow? You and I will never be able to find you."

Little Pig looked at him puzzled, the jealous Lu Yunchu was not in a hurry when he learned of the possible whereabouts of the man in black?

"According to Fu Ling, all the refining tools of Huahezi are still in the inn and have not been taken away. From this, I thought that if Huahezi dug cistanche, they would have to come back to refine the elixir .”

Little Pig suddenly realized what Lu Yunchu meant, they stayed in the inn and waited!
The guy who made medicine from Hua Hezi didn't bring it with him. Even if he found cistanche in the desert, he would definitely have to come back and get his tools to find a suitable place to make medicine.

"Ha! Lu Yunchu, it seems that you are usually quiet, but you turned out to be a ghost..."

The little pig patted his arm with its front hoof and said appreciatively.

Lu Yunchu was a little stunned when he heard "Ghost is bad, ghost is bad". Is Xiao Zhu praising him?
However, Little Pig soon thought of another possibility.

"What if the man in black has a place and tools to refine medicine?"

"This...it's not impossible!" Thinking that the black-robed man is also a three-cultivator of magic and martial arts like him, maybe the black-robed man also has research on medicine and has his own refining place?
After thinking for a moment, he made a decision: "So, let's wait in Oasis City for a few days, and if we don't see Hua Hezi returning, you and I plan to go to the desert."

Going into the desert, no matter whether it is to find the Chinese Crane or Cistanche, it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, and the conditions in the desert are difficult and dangerous, so it doesn't matter if he is the only one going there.If he really wanted to go to the desert, he wouldn't be able to leave the little pig alone in Oasis City, he was worried!But if he takes the little pig to the desert, he will not bear the hard work of the little pig.

So, until the last step, he didn't intend to enter the desert.
