"Did they tell me why they wanted to see me?" Miss Fengjiu asked.
"Not really."
"Okay, let's meet then."
After putting the half-written recipe into the Qiankun Space, Miss Fengjiu jumped off the beast cart, tidied her clothes and long hair, and then walked towards the person who came.
When Miss Fengjiu saw the two of them from afar, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
There was a man and a woman standing under the tree. They half raised their heads and looked towards the crown of a tree, seemingly chatting about something related to it.
The woman was dressed in simple black, with a petite figure, like a young girl.
The man was wearing a blue shirt and was a head taller than her, but he always looked down at her when talking to her, and a smile could be vaguely seen at the corner of his mouth.
Even though he only saw the side profiles of the two, Feng Lai was still distracted. He felt that his own caravan next to them had become the background of the two, and seemed a little redundant.
Feng Lai was about to call them when she heard the conversation between the two of them——
"Can this be used as medicine? Then why didn't the Feng family pick them?"
"Maybe it's out of pity. Although they are still useful now, they are not at their best. It would be a pity to pick them too early."
"How many more days will it take until the best time?"
"From the outside, it looks like about three days, but this Zitongrong tree is at least a thousand years old, so it will mature more slowly. So, considering that, it should be about five days."
Feng Lai's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously asked, "Does this fellow Taoist also understand pharmacology?"
You can tell at a glance that the best time to pick the flowers of the purple tung rose is three days away, and you can also determine the specific day based on the year. Ordinary people who don't understand pharmacology certainly can't do this.
The two men turned their heads at the same time when they heard the voice, and then Feng Lai was met with two faces that were almost flawless.
The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. When Feng Lai was stared at by them, her cheeks turned slightly red and she was even a little nervous.
"Is this Miss Fengjiu?" Ning Zhishui asked with a smile.
"I'm Feng Lai." Feng Lai nodded generously, "May I know your names?"
"Ning Zhishui."
"Dongfang Jing."
Feng Lai was stunned for a moment, "Ning... is it the fellow Daoist Ning from Xianlai Sect?"
She was a little surprised when she heard the surname Dongfang, and was not sure if it was the same Dongfang.
But it would be difficult to find a name exactly like Ning Zhishui.
What's more, even their ages match.
"It's me." Ning Zhishui nodded. "My friend and I were passing by and saw that it was the Feng family's caravan. Since I have long admired the Feng family, I couldn't help but disturb them. I hope Miss Feng won't blame me."
"How could that be? I've been curious about Fellow Daoist Ning for a long time. It's fate that we meet this time." Feng Lai said, and then changed the subject to something that interested him more. "I only knew that Fellow Daoist Ning was good at refining weapons, but I didn't expect that he also studied pharmacology?"
"Yes, I know a little bit." Ning Zhishui said with a smile.
"Is Brother Ning free? If it is convenient, could you get on the beast cart and discuss with me about the elixir? I'm confused about something." Feng Lai was eager to try.
"With pleasure."
"That's great! Come with me... I've been troubled by a new pill recipe for a long time."
Feng Lai pulled Ning Zhishui towards his animal cart, leaving Dongfang Jing behind.
Dongfang Jing didn't care. He just smiled and stood there waiting calmly.
However, the manager, seeing that Dongfang Jing was not an ordinary person, did not dare to neglect him and walked up to him and started chatting with him carefully.
On Ning Zhishui's side, just as Feng Lai got on the animal cart, he saw Feng Lai carefully look back, then let down the curtain and patted his chest.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, that young man is yours... He's so handsome, even more handsome than my second brother. I didn't even dare to look at him just now." Then he took another closer look at Ning Zhishui and smiled, "You two, you're such a good match."
Ning Zhishui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "We are not that kind of relationship."
"No?" Feng Lai tilted her head. "Oh... that must be because he thinks you're too young... it's just a matter of time."
She didn't seem to care much about this matter. After it was mentioned, she excitedly talked about her new pill recipe.
One must always be on guard against others. Although Feng Lai is young and has a good impression of Ning Zhishui, who is the same age as him, he is not naive enough to directly take out his semi-finished pill formula. Instead, he tells them about the difficulties he encountered.
After listening to this, Ning Zhishui said, "Do you want to get rid of the fire poison?"
Feng Lai was shocked, "How did you know?"
Could it be that she just said that? But it seems not!
"I guessed it from your description." Ning Zhishui looked at her with admiration. "You're right. As for the medicine you want to find to neutralize the medicinal properties... do you know Hanjiaofeng?"
"The cold-horned maple grows near the North Cold Rock. It has four horns, all with sharp teeth. It is extremely cold, and if it hurts a person's skin, it will cause a cold poison." Feng Lai fluently recited the relevant information, and then became a little confused. "But it can't cure fire poison, right?"
Although fire and cold seem to counteract each other, these completely opposite properties are very dangerous. If not handled properly, they may stimulate poisoning and lead to death.
Ning Zhishui shook his head. "It can't cure fire poison. The reason I mentioned it is to make you think about it. If the monsters living near it were to have their skin cut by it and were to be infected with cold poison, how would you treat it?"
The cold-horned maple is a low plant, and its color is very similar to other nearby plants. If a monster passes by, it will easily be scratched by it.
Monsters are not cultivators and do not know how to make elixirs or medicines, but they have natural instincts and will look for corresponding plants to heal themselves when they are injured or poisoned.
Feng Lai thought about it and came up with the answer, "If the monster has been poisoned by it, you can look for Caiguizi nearby! Caiguizi's growth cycle is similar to its own, and both grow in cold areas. Swallowing Caiguizi directly can dilute the toxicity!"
"That's right." Ning Zhishui looked at her with a smile. "Many poisonous things always have antidotes around them. So, do you think fire poison...will be the same?"
Feng Lai's breathing suddenly became rapid, "Fire poison around... I understand!"
She wanted to jump up with joy, but the animal cart was not high enough, so she hit her head when she moved.
Feng Lai didn't take it seriously and quickly took out the recipe and made some modifications to it.
The poison of fire is different from that of cold-horned maple, and there are no herbs around that can directly detoxify it.
However, there is a special kind of crystal around the fire poison. This crystal itself is useless, so it is easily overlooked.
But if we use them as a neutralizer, it would be perfect!
Feng Lai didn't care that Ning Zhishui was present and directly revealed the recipe.
