Chen Xiao didn't understand why Xiao Ba suddenly jumped into the grass nest on his own initiative. He was not usually so obedient.
Turning his head with confusion, and looking up at Xi Yunting's expressionless face, Chen Xiao suddenly realized something.
He didn't say anything, but just curled up the corners of his lips to reveal a smile.
Standing up, Chen Xiao gently closed the door and waited for a moment. He didn't hear any more movement from Xiao Ba. It seemed that he would be quiet tonight.
This made Chen Xiao feel relieved. He turned around and looked at Xi Yunting apologetically.
To be on the safe side, the two of them didn't do anything that night, and both felt a little regretful about it.
The next morning, Xiao Ba had already walked down the stairs. After eating the breakfast prepared by Wan Qing, he was playing in the yard.
After breakfast, Chen Xiao looked at Xiao Ba, who was running around outside with his short tail wagging, and listened to the sound of his hooves. After the incident of Xiao Ba chewing on the orchid grass yesterday, Chen Xiao realized that Xiao Ba could only eat plants as food, so he thought it was time to change his diet.
The best time to meet Li and Zhou Yue was in the afternoon. Chen Xiao's inner anticipation and anxiety made it impossible for him to calm down and deal with affairs, so he simply went out with Du Rong and Liu Lang.
Xi Yunting did not go, but stayed in the quiet room specially arranged for him in Chen's house to practice.
On the boat, except for the first day, Xi Yunting would practice in the morning every other day without fail.
It was just that he got up a little later than usual. He would never miss the chance to get up with Xiaodi, nor was he willing to let Chen Xiao wake up alone after every intimate night.
They went to Zhencaotang and bought some herbs that contained faint spiritual energy.
This is Liu Lang’s suggestion.
Originally, Du Rong wanted to go to the flower garden to buy fresh spiritual plants according to Chen Xiao's instructions, but Liu Lang thought it was too wasteful.
Among the herbal herbs that have undergone preliminary processing, there are several types that are used as ingredients in the recipes of low-level elixirs, and the amount consumed and circulated every day is very large.
Because of the low spiritual energy contained in them, this type of herb is like dehydrated silage, and is perfect as Xiao Ba's food.
At first, Chen Xiao was worried that eating such herbs might cause Xiao Ba to get poisoned by the medicinal properties in them.
After asking Liu Lang in a low voice, I learned that these herbs would not produce strong medicinal properties if not mixed with other herbs. If taken alone, they would only benefit the body and would not have any adverse reactions.
The only thing to note is that you cannot mix several kinds of grass together and eat them.
Liu Lang used to accumulate initial capital by trading these low-grade medicinal materials. Later, he gradually expanded his business and eventually established the largest purple gardenia garden on Yingxian Island.
Following Liu Lang's recommendation, Chen Xiao selected eight kinds, each of which cost ten tons, or 20,000 kilograms.
Upon hearing about the large order, the staff at Zhencaotang looked indifferent, as if they had seen a lot of this before.
The Zhencao Hall on Yingxian Island is visited by people from various sects every day who come to buy herbs. The amount of herbs purchased in bulk is only more than this, not less than this.
Du Rong seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Is it necessary for the owner to buy so much at once? The eight kinds of grass together weigh 160,000 kilograms!
You know, ever since he found out that Xiao Ba was just an ordinary lamb, he had asked Wan Qing indirectly that a normal sheep would only eat more than ten kilograms of grass a day.
With Xiaoba's size, he would eat at most three or four kilograms a day in his larval stage. How long would it take to eat 160,000 kilograms? More than a hundred years!
He didn't know that Chen Xiao had always been worried about Xiao Ba's ability to eat.
After becoming a soul beast, Xiao Ba should have stopped growing according to reason. However, in the past two days, Chen Xiao discovered that Xiao Ba's appetite had actually increased slightly.
If it weren't for this, Chen Xiao wouldn't have thought of changing Xiao Ba's diet. After all, eating training rations is simpler.
Although it was only a slight increase, it was extremely unusual.
Chen Xiao didn't know whether this was the result of the combined effect of his unreasonable contract and Xiao Ba's ancestral bloodline.
Although it was just a precaution, Chen Xiao did not want any unusual changes to develop in Xiao Ba.
After leaving Zhencaotang, Chen Xiao and his group went to Jianzhai again. He bought a herbal medicine cabinet powered by a spirit bead, intending to give it to Li and Zhou as a reward for their treatment.
He had long noticed that the cabinets where Li and Zhou kept their herbs were made of just ordinary wood.
Li and Zhou lived a very simple life, wearing old clothes and eating ordinary meals made by ordinary housewives. There was no quality of life to speak of, and there was no need for any entertainment.
In order to save money on researching medicines, he would even go to the place of origin to collect herbs himself. Every once in a while, various fresh herbs waiting to be processed would be hung out to dry in his yard.
Research and development in any field is a money-burning project. Whether it's Tong Nuonuo's poverty-causing mechanism or Li Yuzhou's crazy pharmacist style, they are the kind of people who spend more money the more money they have.
So if they just gave the spirit beads as a reward, Li and Zhou would just burn them and they would be gone. It would be more practical to give them this kind of herbal medicine preservation cabinet.
After returning to Chen's house and having lunch at noon, Chen Xiao, Xi Yunting and Liu Lang set out to go to Li and Zhou's place.
Du Rong wanted to follow but Chen Xiao told him to feed Xiao Ba with the newly bought grass to test whether it could be used as the staple food in the future.
Previously, because Du Rong stopped Xiao Ba from going upstairs, Xiao Ba was very hostile and resistant to Du Rong, which shows how chaotic this experimental feeding would be.
Du Rong was so overwhelmed by this assignment that he had no time to pay attention to the progress of Chen Xiao's treatment.
When we arrived at Li and Zhou's home, Jinghui was already waiting there.
He was bored and came early, strolling over in the morning. At that time, Li and Zhou had already finished the new medicine and were recording the mixing process.
At this moment, Jinghui couldn't help but admire Li Yuzhou's amazing talent in medicine. She didn't expect that he had really completed the improvement of the prescription in such a short time.
It is not difficult to change the prescription, but it is difficult to successfully formulate a new drug that fully meets the requirements!
This kind of talent made Jinghui want to make friends with him.
Unfortunately, when they started talking in detail, Jinghui found it difficult to communicate with Li and Zhou.
There was no topic or thing that interested Li Yuzhou. Li Yuzhou did not respond to daily communication at all. He just sat there as stiff as a rock, which made Jinghui feel very frustrated.
But when Chen Xiao and the others arrived, Li and Zhou came alive as if from stone sculptures, with vivid expressions and continuous conversation - although they were all talking about new drugs.
Chen Xiao really wanted to understand Li and Zhou's medicine theory, but no matter how hard he tried, his head was still a mess.
Xi Yunting interrupted Li and Zhou's story with a serious face and asked directly: "How to use this medicine? Should it be swallowed or applied externally? How long will it take for it to take effect?"
Li Yuzhou put away the topic that always made him talk endlessly, and said seriously: "Part of this medicine is swallowed, and part is external. This is only for Xiaodi's personal situation, so it may not have the same effect on others."
They don't care whether this medicine works on others or not, they only care whether it works on Chen Xiao or not.
Seeing that several people were anxious, Li and Zhou stopped talking and took out the pills they had swallowed and asked Chen Xiao to swallow them with water.
Then, he asked Chen Xiao to take off his outer clothes and half of his inner clothes, leaving only the wound on his broken limb exposed.
Li Yuzhou's hands were steady. He held a small wooden scraper and applied the external part to Chen Xiao's arm.
Soon Chen Xiao felt itchy, an itch that was so severe that he could not bear it.
Seeing beads of sweat on Chen Xiao's forehead, Xi Yunting became nervous and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiao, how do you feel?"
Chen Xiao's chest also began to sweat, and his clothes gradually became wet. He endured the unbearable itchiness and forced a smile: "Very good. I am beginning to feel the wound itching, which means the wound is starting to grow."
Xi Yunting frowned, "If you feel uncomfortable, don't laugh." He knew that Chen Xiao was definitely feeling uncomfortable at the moment, otherwise he wouldn't hide it with a smile. He didn't want him to worry.
Chen Xiao bit his lips. Now, he was not only itchy, but also started to feel hot. He was so hot that he could not laugh or even speak.
Chen Xiao's body began to tremble, and Xi Yunting ignored the people around him and stepped forward to hug him. Chen Xiao immediately leaned his weight on him and held his clothes tightly with his left hand.
"Hmm..." A painful sound escaped from Chen Xiao's lips.
Liu Lang couldn't help but ask: "Why is the teacher so miserable?"
Li and Zhou said, "This is normal. In order to recover as quickly as possible, I strengthened the efficacy of the medicine, so Chen Xiao's arm will grow back soon."
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly when he heard this. It turned out that this was also a powerful medicine! Very good, this is very Li Yuzhou.
"It's grown out!" Jing Hui had been staring at Chen Xiao's wound, and saw the original wound open up, revealing bright red flesh and blood, and new flesh was constantly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The drug circulated to all parts of the body through the blood, and its medicinal properties were exerted to the strongest extent, causing the growth rate to accelerate. The price was that Chen Xiao felt increasingly uncomfortable.
Xi Yunting had to hold Chen Xiao tightly, as he actually wanted to scratch the wound with his left hand.
Liu Lang roared at Li and Zhou: "When you made this medicine, didn't you think about alleviating the physical sensation?"
Li and Zhou had always used these powerful medicines on other people. He had never seen it with his own eyes and did not know that the person involved would suffer so much.
He said blankly, "I never thought about it." He stared at Chen Xiao with guilty eyes, "I didn't expect that the stimulation of growth would become like this after being strengthened. If I had known, I would have made it grow slowly."
This is a typical case of good intentions leading to bad results.
Xi Yunting suppressed his voice and said to Jing Hui, "Do you know a spell to temporarily cut off the connection between the sea of consciousness and the body without affecting the efficacy of the medicine?"
Chen Xiao was in so much pain that even if he was knocked unconscious, he would soon be awakened by the crazy itchiness.
Jing Hui nodded: "This is easy!"
As he said that, he raised his hand and cast a golden spell, which fell on Chen Xiao's body. He immediately drooped his head and fell into Xi Yunting's arms.
