Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

"A traditional Chinese medicine shop?"

Have you been sick lately?

Wu Rang carefully examined Lin Sheng from head to toe and saw that the other party was full of energy and had a normal complexion, and there was nothing wrong with him.

Lin Sheng replied truthfully, "No, Mr. Wu, it's for cultivation purposes. I need to prepare some medicinal bath."

"Aren't you on good terms with the Song Family Medical Clinic? They should be able to arrange any medicinal baths you need."

Lin Sheng smiled wryly. He had come to ask Wu Rang precisely because he didn't want to trouble Uncle Song. If Uncle Song knew that he needed a medicinal bath, he might not ask for money and would arrange it for him anyway.

He didn't want it to be like this, because the hardest debt to repay in this world is the debt of gratitude.

His purpose in taking the medicinal bath was not for anything else, but to absorb the Blazing Tree Heart.

After obtaining the demon material from Hu Er, Lin Sheng immediately examined it carefully upon arriving home and also understood its usage through the records attached to the wooden box.

By tempering and activating oneself with the flames contained in the Blazing Tree Heart, and then supplementing it with medicinal baths to repair the body, a cyclical improvement can be achieved.

Therefore, he needs to find suitable medicinal herbs to prepare a medicinal bath to help him cultivate.

Lin Sheng had considered using the Cave Profound Furnace directly, but after glancing at the still-refining Qi, he decisively gave up.

"Forget it, the Blazing Tree Heart alone can't provide enough energy. Let's improve it using the normal methods first."

However, Lin Sheng didn't know where to buy the appropriate medicinal herbs, as the medicinal bath also involved Bao Zhi.

Ordinary herbal medicine shops rarely carry precious herbs, and those that do often have a high chance of shortchanging customers or selling inferior goods. Therefore, for the sake of his cultivation and money, he asked Wu Rang if he had any recommendations for herbal medicine shops after finishing his record for the day.

The place where cultivators process demon materials should have some opinions on the precious plants that cultivators also need.

"If it's a medicinal bath..."

Wu Rang thought for a moment and said, "You can go to the storeroom in the camp and take a look. There are usually some medicinal herbs and the like available for the camp's cultivators to use."

"Since you are not a cultivator within the camp, you cannot access it; you will have to pay for it yourself."

"It was centrally allocated and distributed by the imperial court, so the price was quite reasonable."

Upon hearing that such a place existed, Lin Sheng was very pleased: "Thank you, Mr. Wu."

"It's alright. By the way, a batch of demonic materials for refining pills will be transported here soon. I may need to work all night. The exact date is yet to be determined. I'm just letting you know in advance."

"Yes, Mr. Wu, rest assured, I am ready at any time."

After saying that, Lin Sheng immediately ran towards the warehouse and explained his purpose upon arrival.

The warehouse manager, having understood, asked, "Did you bring any silver with you today?"

Lin Sheng nodded: "Yes, I brought it."

He had brought the money early in the morning, intending to get all the medicinal herbs ready today.

He was even worried that it wouldn't be enough, so he brought the remaining thirty taels of his own money.

"Okay, then you sign your name, and I'll write down your name tag. You can go and choose for yourself."

I remember, after I received the money, they settled the accounts with me, giving me exactly what I had received.

"Especially remember, you are only allowed to take what you need, and you are not allowed to bring anything else out."

This is one of the strictest rules at the post station; otherwise, it won't just be Ma Sucheng who will punish you, but the imperial court.

"No problem, I'll only take what I need."

Lin Sheng handed over his waist token, which was then placed in the storeroom.

He never expected that he could get into this temporary post so easily.

"I guess this can be considered a hidden perk of working at the camp."

Once inside, it looked just like an ordinary warehouse, with various medicinal herbs piled up, and you could even see some precious plants.

Lin Sheng glanced at the Biye Fruit he had previously resold, then subconsciously looked at the prices on the list, and froze instantly.

After repeatedly checking the list with prices and profits that the warehouse manager had just given him, he exclaimed in shock, "How come it only costs one tael of silver?!"

"Wait, is the price really that low?"

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the prices of common medicinal herbs in the warehouse were 20-30% lower than outside, with some even being Wuchang herbs. The prices of ordinary medicinal herbs were also very favorable.

Comparing the materials he needed, Lin Sheng discovered that all the medicinal herbs and precious plants he wanted could be found in the warehouse. After roughly calculating the prices, he found that even with the precious plants included, a medicinal bath was 30% cheaper than outside.

"No wonder they're only allowed to take what they need, and not to take it outside."

Anyone who takes advantage of this loophole is practically picking up money with their eyes closed.

Thinking that Wu Rang had said that these were all distributed uniformly by the imperial court, he murmured, "Even a small post station like Taoyuan can arrange such abundant supplies."

He gained a deeper understanding of Hongchao's strength, and from this small example, he understood why Hongchao was regarded as one of the top powers in the world.

Lin Sheng looked at the list and began selecting medicinal herbs according to his needs.

Looking at the abundant materials, enough for him to use five times, Lin Sheng began to do the accounting himself.

"Hmm, about ten taels."

"Tsk tsk, even including the precious herbs, it only costs ten taels. That averages out to only two taels per medicinal bath. If this were taken outside..."

Lin Sheng picked up the medicinal herbs and walked outside. He had no intention of reselling them; he was a proper cultivator.

All the medicinal herbs were placed in front of the warehouse manager, who said "that's enough" and began calculating the price, which ultimately matched Lin Sheng's calculation to the last cent.

After handing over the silver, Lin Sheng wrote his name again, put all the medicinal herbs into his storage bag, and left.

He quickly returned home, boiled water, took out a large bucket, and then took out the materials needed for the medicinal bath. Lin Sheng began to process the medicine according to the instructions.

After everything was prepared, the hot water was boiled, and the hot water was poured into the bucket, along with the medicinal herbs and precious plants.

Moments later, the water in the wooden bucket became as vibrant as rosewater, carrying a fragrant aroma.

"Ah, that's the effect!"

Lin Sheng was very satisfied with his success on the first try, and then immediately took out the wooden box containing the Blazing Tree Heart.

Gently opening the box, a scorching heat rushed out. Following the instructions on the wooden box, Lin Sheng mobilized his profound energy.

With a slight opening, a faint flame flew out from the heart of the tree and landed in the mouth, then circulated throughout the body along the flow of primordial energy.

Lin Sheng immediately felt his body being scorched, and at the same time, his various discomforts were being drastically improved. This feeling reminded him of his master's method of "recovering while fighting".

He knew that now was the best time to cultivate, so he immediately began to use the Bee Shadow Technique. The stinging sensation that he was used to felt even more pronounced today, as if he had just started cultivating.

However, the speed at which Xuanqi is generated is much faster than before, and the same action has 20-30% more effect than before.

As you carefully feel the blood flowing through your body, wisps of mysterious energy are generated, clearly very active, and also faintly carrying a flowing light.

"This is a really useful item; I'm getting closer and closer to the Pure Blood Realm."

"By absorbing materials from second-realm demons while remaining outside the country, the nourishing effect will allow me to enter the country in less than three months."

"There will probably be some left after it enters the country, but the demon materials can't be kept in the wooden box for long..."

Lin Sheng suddenly thought of Cao Xingyi, who seemed to practice fire-based techniques, which might come in handy.

Thinking of how much his senior brother had helped him, he decided to show it to him the next day, hoping it might be helpful in his breakthrough.
