Add some practice: start with a lucid dream

Chapter 151 Doomsday Era?

During this process, Chen Ze encountered several medicinal materials that made him feel special.

Although there is always the sentence [Aura content does not meet the standard], Chen Ze believes that part of the medicinal materials must be special.

Moreover, Chen Ze didn't see things in vain, he also summed up some rules in the process.

[-]. On the whole, most of the medicinal materials that can make people feel their growth years are not short.

Second, from an individual point of view, some medicinal materials are obviously only a year or so old, or even the seeds are dried and can be sensed by oneself.

These two seemingly contradictory points made Chen Ze a little tangled, and began to think over and over again.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Ze saw that the time was approaching noon, so he decided to have a meal outside during the intermission.

Then the two of them spent the whole afternoon in the pharmacy, pulling out almost all the small drawers.

Until the evening approached, Chen Ze already knew something in his heart, so he asked again,
"Uncle Hu, do you have any particularly precious medicinal materials for me to see?"

"Like a thousand-year-old wild ginseng?"

"A thousand years? Hehe, a hundred years is not bad!"

Hu Mingjun smiled and pulled back the drawer in front of him, pondered for a while, and led Chen Ze to a corner of the room.

In the corner is an obviously distinctive rosewood cabinet, with only nine large drawers on the entire cabinet.

Hu Mingjun opened one of the large drawers, and there was only a large piece of dark brown waxy gum inside.

"This is ambergris." Hu Mingjun handed him over.

As soon as I started it, a unique sweet and earthy aroma came out.

Ambergris, a medicinal herb taken from the body of sperm whales, has become less and less produced due to animal protection policies in recent years, and its price has remained high.

But holding it in his hand, Chen Ze didn't have that special feeling.

"This ambergris enters the kidney meridian, and has the effects of eliminating stagnation, clearing stranguria, diuresis, and aphrodisiac." Hu Mingjun explained somewhat unnaturally.

"Pair it with dodder, wild fire leaves, wolfberry, and actinolite. It's not too particular, and it's easy to get it."

"Uncle Hu." Chen Ze explained with black lines all over his head, "I really don't need a strong yang."

"Cough cough cough." Hu Mingjun nodded and took back the ambergris, "Actually, the most important thing is to have confidence."

"Uncle Hu!" Chen Ze protested loudly, "Be more serious."

So Hu Mingjun finally restrained his expression, and took out a highly recognizable herb from the drawer next to him.

"Here." Hu Mingjun handed it over, "The century-old wild ginseng you want."

"That's it?" Chen Ze saw that the ginseng was not too big, and it was only the length of a palm without counting the roots.

"Do you really think this is a radish?" Hu Mingjun said angrily, "This is already considered very big, and it must be about 200 years old."

But at this moment, Chen Ze felt something in his heart while playing with it.

This unremarkable little thing actually gave me a possessive desire, as if there was some magical energy hidden in it.

He deduced that this old ginseng should contain a lot of spiritual energy.

The [Human Furnace] is still in operation.

This time, the system detection took a very long time, but finally gave a substandard result.

None of this works?

It seems that many auras are still not recognized by the system compared to other medicinal materials.

So Chen Ze couldn't help asking: "Uncle Hu, what is the concept of these 200-year-old wild ginseng?"

"Concept?" Hu Mingjun thought for a while, "Let me tell you this."

"The ginseng on the market is mostly two or three years old, eight years is the best, ten years is the best, and ginseng after 20 years is very rare."

"It's big news that this thing was dug up in Zhejiang Province back then, but I got it after spending a lot of money."

"Is it so rare?" Chen Ze was a little surprised.

"Of course, you think it's just like in the novel, the ground is full of ginseng spirits running long legs?"

"Then what is the difference between this hundred-year-old ginseng and a few years old ginseng?" Chen Ze asked curiously.

"The difference is really not that big."

"The effect of the medicine will be better, but it's not so different."

"It's mainly a collection value!"

So next, Hu Mingjun showed Chen Ze precious medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps sinensis, Saussurea sinensis, and saffron.

After some hands-on comparisons, Chen Ze became more determined in his guess.

First of all, Chinese herbal medicines are mainly divided into three categories, namely botanical medicines, animal medicines and mineral medicines.

Among them, all the mineral medicines Chen Ze could not feel the existence of aura.

The same goes for animal medicine.

Only botanical medicines, especially botanical medicines with a relatively complete body, could make Chen Ze feel something.

Moreover, the older the same herbal medicine, the more spiritual energy it seems to contain.

There are also differences between different herbs, some herbs can make Chen Ze feel special even after a few years.

Considering that aura and qi are the same thing, it is not just humans, plants and animals should have aura in their bodies.

Because according to Taoist theory, qi is the root of all life.

That is to say, certain herbs should be special and have the function of enriching environmental aura, and the longer the age, the higher the aura content in the body.

When the aura content in the medicinal materials is high enough, it can be sensed by the current Chen Ze.

Perhaps this is the so-called "elixir".

Of course, other mineral medicines and animal medicines should also contain aura, but the content is not enough, so they can't be felt.

This made Chen Ze feel a little bit pained.

The aura content of a 200-year-old wild ginseng can only be clearly perceived by him, but it still cannot meet the smelting requirements.

You must know that the experience value required for this smelting formula is only [-] points.

And the formula that was smelted underwater two days ago cost [-] experience points.

The consumption of experience points has only doubled, and Chen Ze thinks that this recipe should not be difficult to get together.

As a result, it seems that it is very difficult to replace environmental aura with auxiliary materials.

You can only find a place with a high concentration of aura for smelting.

And because he didn't know what level 0.5% spiritual energy saturation was, Chen Ze was also uncertain about it.

Could it be that this is really the Dharma-ending age, and the spiritual energy has been exhausted?

It takes so much effort to gather some spiritual energy!
But if the quality is not enough, how about using the quantity to make up?
So Chen Ze asked Hu Mingjun about the prices of those medicinal materials.

It turned out that the cheapest ones all started at six figures, such a price really discouraged Chen Ze.

After coming out of the pharmacy, Chen Ze had another meal of medicinal food in the health care center, and then set off for home after instructing Hu Mingjun on his exercises.

As a result, on the way, he encountered another suspected stalking.

The same overly familiar vehicle parted ways after following him for a while.

So as soon as he got home, Chen Ze immediately lay down on the sofa and activated the [Lucid Dream] skill.

in a dream.

Chen Ze reviewed the visual memory of the two experiences many times, but still failed to come up with a result.

Because he does not stare at the rearview mirror all the time while driving, the visual memory is naturally intermittent, making it difficult to judge whether to follow or follow the road.

Moreover, the vehicles encountered in the two encounters were completely different.

Could it be that I am too nervous?
Thinking of this, Chen Ze exited the dream and returned to reality.

Walking back and forth at home, Chen Ze gradually began to think about the safety of his residence.

He relies entirely on the system, so there is nothing particularly important hidden in the house.

But just to be on the safe side, Chen Ze checked everywhere.

My house is located on a high-rise, and each window is equipped with anti-theft nets, so you shouldn't be too careful.

An anti-theft door was also installed at the entrance of the porch. He spent a lot of money when he first moved in. Both the door lock and the door itself are quite reliable.

After staring at the door for a moment, Chen Ze decided to take some precautionary measures in the next few days.

So he took that relatively inferior scotch tape roll, cut off a piece and pasted it on the crack of the door.

In this way, as long as the door is opened, no matter how it is restored, there will be traces left behind.

And relying on his extraordinary eyesight and memory, he can detect even the smallest traces.

What's more, he also has the dream review function of [Lucid Dream], so it's a big deal to compare a little bit.

After finishing the simple precautions, Chen Ze returned to the computer desk and started the live broadcast.

"The Binding of Isaac", start the game!
【Experience value +500】

【Experience value +800】.
