The man in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 51

Through the dispelling cold soup, Yaoshi Qian introduced Wu Dong to the three medicinal herbs Physalis stalk, Sweet water vine, and Kudicao.

In Physalis Pole, Wu Dong learned about the concept of medicinal soil, and learned that medicinal herbs, medicinal soil, and pharmacists all have different levels. Then he also learned to use two newly learned spells, the spell of turning rain and the spell of whirlwind, for Physalis poles are watered and loosened.

From the sweet water vine, Wu Dong learned how to get rid of the insects in the sweet water vine.

That night, Yaoshi Qian took him for a walk, Wu Dong raised the lamp, and Yaoshi Qian guided him.

The next morning, Yaoshi Qian took Wu Dong to the field of Kudicao, specifically, a slope.

Bittergrass must be planted on slopes.

If it is planted on flat ground, its roots will either wither or rot.

Only by planting it on a slope and then watering it every day can it grow fast and well, and most importantly, grow roots.

The medicinal part of bitter grass is its roots. As for its stems and leaves, they are bitter and astringent, and no insects, birds, and livestock will eat them. Therefore, it needs to be manually cleaned regularly to remove the overgrown stems and leaves.

For the time being, Wu Dong's daily task is to take care of these three herbs.

Physalis poles are free from insects, but they need to be watered once a day and the soil needs to be loosened every three days.

Bittergrass is also free from insects. Then, it needs to be watered every three to four days, and the stems and leaves need to be cleaned every seven to eight days.

Sweet water vines are very annoying to insects, and insects can be seen on the leaves almost every day. Pharmacist Qian told Wu Dong that the leaf insects should be removed every two days, and the vine and root insects should be removed every four days.

These jobs are actually not heavy, and it doesn't take too much time.

Moreover, the total amount of the three kinds of medicinal herbs is less than three mu of land. When Wu Dong was in the small valley before, the medicinal herbs under Wu Dong's care amounted to more than ten mu.

Just as Wu Dong was getting familiar with the work at hand, Pharmacist Qian taught him how to make the second soup.

Healthy soup.

It is also called Five Flavors Healthy Soup.

Five kinds of herbs are used, earth essence, stone jade, water wormwood, rosewood, and clover.

These five herbs are all first-class herbs.

Pharmacist Qian did not ask Wu Dong to take care of these five herbs, but regarding the planting and maintenance of these five herbs, he still gave Wu Dong a detailed introduction and demonstration just like the previous three herbs.

A few days later, Pharmacist Qian taught Wu Dong how to make a third soup.

Qi soup.

This time, four kinds of herbs were used, all of which were still first-class herbs.

In this way, every three to five days, Pharmacist Qian taught Wu Dong to make a new kind of medicinal soup. These medicinal soups were taken internally, applied externally, or simply used for bathing.

And their medicinal scope includes strengthening the body, invigorating qi, strengthening vital energy, clearing away heat, and detoxifying...

Variety.

The medicinal herbs that Wu Dong knew also went from level [-] and level [-] to level [-] and level [-].

The highest is level three.

Suddenly, more than a month passed, and in more than a month, the total number of herbs that Wu Dong knew from Yaoshi Qian also reached 64 kinds.

Wu Dong absorbed this knowledge eagerly, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he forgot to sleep and eat. What was on his mind every day was not the planting, maintenance and treatment of various medicinal herbs, but the combination and pharmacology of medicinal materials.

Perhaps it is a connection by analogy, the study of pharmacological materials that Wu Dong started when he was in Xiaogu, seems to be like adding wings to a tiger, and the progress is fast.

[8424/25458]

Among them, Yaoshi Qian's teaching is very important!
In fact, Pharmacist Qian didn't really impart much knowledge about Wu Dong's pharmacology, and often just a few words, and most of them were only used to explain and introduce those soups and medicines.

But these few words, to Wu Dong, seemed like lightning bolts in the dark night.

When the lightning strikes, it illuminates a large area of ​​the night sky.

When they are integrated into the materials Wu Dong studies every day, they are like catalysts, falling into various chemical reactions, causing various changes that Wu Dong did not expect.

More than a month, ten kinds of decoctions, 64 kinds of herbs.

At this point, Yaoshi Qian's teaching came to an end for the time being, he no longer taught Wu Dong new things, but only told Wu Dong to ponder and understand the things he taught.

But at this time, the system issued a task to Wu Dong:
[Mission: Hundred Soup King]

[Through the understanding of 64 kinds of medicinal herbs, through the analysis of ten kinds of decoctions, starting from simple pharmacology, self-configure one hundred kinds of decoctions. 】

"System, isn't my study of pharmacology not over yet?"

Wu Dong asked slightly puzzled.

"Your study of pharmacology will never end. What can end is just simple numbers."

It seems reasonable.

Wu Dong accepted the task.

After reading two to three hundred materials every day, plus Yaoshi Qian's teaching for more than a month, Wu Dong really felt a little itchy after these hours.

Moreover, Pharmacist Qian also said that all these 64 kinds of herbs, no matter they were planted in the medicine field or processed by himself, were all for Wu Dong to use.

The vast world has a lot to do!

As soon as he was seduced by the system, Wu Dong was eager to try it immediately.

On the first day when the system released this task, after some thinking, Wu Dong tried to prepare a simple decoction, which only used two herbs.

【Score: 28/100】

After Wu Dong frowned and drank it, the system immediately gave an evaluation.

Why do you say you drank it with a frown?

Because there was a slight discrepancy between imagination and reality, in Wu Dong's original expectation, this soup should be quite delicious.

But I didn't think about it, it was sour and astringent.

Who would have thought that this is the combination of two sweet herbs?

[Emotion value +1588]

Wu Dong's behavior did not avoid Qian Yaoshi, and he made this soup in Qian Yaoshi's yard with Qian Yaoshi's medicine stove.

Qian Yaoshi, who was quietly watching the whole process, now had a faint smile on his face.

"Master Qian, why is this happening?"

Wu Dong rinsed his mouth with water, then asked with a bitter face.

He's not pretending.

But the result was really unexpected.

"Because the sweet water vine you used is a zero-grade medicinal material, but Gan Ruihua is a first-level medicinal material. It is not impossible to mix medicinal materials between different levels, but you need to use them with caution. Because the first-level medicinal materials will interfere with the zero-level medicinal materials. The zero-level medicinal materials will also pollute the first-level medicinal materials."

"Wu Dong, this is also the number one taboo that you need to keep in mind in the preparation of medicines, the taboo of poor medicinal materials."

Well, this is knowledge that Wu Dong has not been exposed to in his previous study of pharmacology.

Pharmacist Qian thought that after receiving this lesson, Wu Dong would no longer consider putting medicinal materials of different grades in the same decoction when dispensing medicines for at least a long period of time.

He was wrong.

Wu Dong's second decoction experiment still used sweet water vine and mandarin flower!

But it also added the same level of sour branch.

【Score: 62/100】

The system gives a qualified evaluation.

This time, Pharmacist Qian and Wu Dong tasted the brewed soup together.

[Emotion value +3422]

Pharmacist Qian remained calm and did not show a faint smile anymore.

Instead, he seemed to be impatient to ask: "Wu Dong, how did you come up with the idea of ​​adding Suanzhizi to it? This decoction, what effect do you want it to achieve? Match together!"
