He is so frugal and never wastes anything.
Time passed by minute by minute, and An Lang still didn't come back. Zhou Qing guessed that he was receiving after-school tutoring from Luo Liuli.
Finally, familiar streams of information appeared in front of Zhou Qing one after another.
Twelve o'clock has arrived and the golden finger has been refreshed!
[Get a cheat code refresh count and start refreshing]
【Last month’s cheat code: Double experience】
[Refreshing...]
【Refresh completed】
[This month's cheat code: Tongue of Herbs (Talent)]
[Life Points: 8]
[Do you want to use your life points to extract the golden finger you once had? ]
Zhou Qing was refreshed, stopped practicing, and his soul returned to his body. He read the information carefully.
The number of life points is still eight. Unless his soul is promoted to the Manifestation Saint Realm, or his martial arts breaks through to the Bone Refining Realm, the number of life points will not increase for the time being.
"Tongue of Herbs? A talent?"
Zhou Qing pondered over this golden finger. Judging from the name, it seemed to be a talent related to the tongue? The definition of a golden finger was quite broad. It not only referred to magical things like [Daqianxian Tree] and [Double Experience]. Of course, talent could also be considered a golden finger, which was a very large category.
A unique talent that allows you to gain advantages that ordinary people don't have, and then be one step ahead of others.
Not only a unique talent, but also a pill, a technique, or the inheritance of a strong man can be considered a golden finger.
Haven’t you seen how many people have gained a martial art by jumping off a cliff, or received the inheritance from a master in some remote place, and then soared to the sky?
At this time, Zhou Qing only felt his tongue a little numb, and the feeling became stronger and stronger, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to let his tongue breathe.
After the tingling sensation reached its peak, it suddenly turned into a cool feeling, which was quite comfortable. Finally, it felt a little warm, as if the tongue was soaking in a hot spring.
Eventually, all the changes disappeared and Zhou Qing's tongue returned to normal.
He "looked" at his tongue from a spiritual perspective and found no apparent changes, everything was normal.
"So what is the use of this talent?"
As soon as this thought emerged in Zhou Qing's mind, a new stream of information appeared in front of his eyes.
[Talent. Tongue of Herbs: Can taste all the medicinal herbs in the world. Can identify the properties and uses of all the medicinal herbs when they enter the mouth. When the medicinal herbs enter the mouth, no matter whether they are poisonous or tonic, they will be repelled from the body by the Tongue of Herbs and will not affect the body at all.]
This was the first time that a talent cheat code was refreshed, and Zhou Qing had not expected that it would come with an introduction to this talent.
There was very little such information in previous cheat codes, and Zhou Qing had to figure out the functions of most cheat codes on his own.
But to be honest, this is quite convenient, as it allows Zhou Qing to directly understand the function of the Tongue of Herbs.
I just don't know if this is the introductory information that comes with all talent cheats, or what.
"So this is the tongue of the herb..."
This talent reminded him of a legend from his previous life, about Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs.
The information that comes with it is concise and clear and not difficult to understand.
This is a magical talent that allows Zhou Qing's tongue to have the ability to identify the medicinal properties and effects of medicinal materials in the world, and he doesn't have to worry about being poisoned after taking poison.
As long as it is fed into the mouth, it doesn't matter how it is prepared.
After thinking about it, Zhou Qing took out a medicinal herb from the space ring and put it into his mouth. The moment his tongue touched the medicinal herb, he felt a chill.
It's so fucking bitter. I made a mistake. I shouldn't have taken this crappy medicine.
But the next second, Zhou Qing suddenly realized what kind of medicinal herb this was.
"It tastes bitter, is hot in nature, can cure colds, and is used in..."
Zhou Qing had a very comprehensive understanding of this medicinal herb, which made him marvel.
This talent is really useful and efficient, and it tastes good right away.
Zhou Qing didn't recognize all the medicinal herbs in his space ring, because some of them were the gains from killing people and stealing treasures, and they were not recorded in the Sanyin inheritance. So he gave them to An Lang and asked her to study them. He didn't care much about them.
Now I know one more medicinal herb.
At this time, a streak of bright red appeared at the corner of Zhou Qing's mouth, and it looked like he had vomited blood.
But this was actually the medicinal power that he had tasted just now, which was automatically excreted by the Tongue of Herbs. In this way, his body would not be affected by eating the wrong thing.
If this medicinal herb is a good thing and Zhou Qing originally wanted to eat it, then there is no need to worry that the Tongue of Herbs will "accidentally hurt" him and expel what he wants to eat.
This is his talent, and Zhou Qing can control it.
If he doesn't control it specifically, then the Tongue of Hundred Herbs will expel all the medicinal power indiscriminately. If he controls it, he can choose to expel it or take it in. It is very flexible.
But this does not mean that Zhou Qing is immune to all poisons and has characteristics like poison immunity.
The introduction of the talent clearly states that the medicinal materials Zhou Qing puts into his mouth must be identified by the Tongue of Herbs before they can be excreted from the body.
If one simply holds a herb in one's hand and forcibly absorbs the medicinal power from it, then the Tongue of Herbs will not be able to tell whether it is poisonous or tonifying.
The most crucial issue is that the message only talks about tasting and identifying medicinal materials. Whether other things, such as elixirs, can be identified is still debatable.
The poison in medicinal herbs can be eliminated, but there is more than just the poison in this world. Poison really is all-encompassing.
Zhou Qing took out another pill. He knew the effect of this pill, but he wanted to see if Baicaozhitong knew it.
After feeding the pill into his mouth, the Tongue of Herbs actually gave some feedback, but its feedback was incomplete, yet very special.
"The role of assisting in cultivating true essence was correctly identified, and I was even able to taste the medicinal materials used in refining this pill. It's amazing, but the raw materials are limited to medicinal materials."
After experiments, it was found that the Tongue of Herbs is also useful for elixirs, and can even be used to directly reverse deduce some elixir recipes.
The reason why I say partial elixir recipe is because the Tongue of Herbs can only taste the medicinal part of the elixir, and the other non-medicinal ingredients cannot be distinguished.
Zhou Qing knew the recipe for this elixir, which required thirteen kinds of medicinal materials, a special kind of jade, and two portions of wild beast blood.
Baicaozhitong was unable to distinguish the last three materials.
Zhou Qing thought secretly, "Hundred Herbs, Hundred Herbs, the name of this talent is really correct. It only targets herbal medicines, but many things that are not herbal can also be used as medicines. This is simply discrimination against non-herbal medicines..."
Unfortunately, although Zhou Qing felt so, his talent was like this. It was the tongue of all herbs, not the tongue of all medicines.
It does not contain any medicines that are not from plants or trees. Zhou Qing has no other options. He can't just fight it.
If you hit your own tongue, you are still hitting yourself.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the conclusion, Zhou Qing even took out a piece of metal material and fed it into his mouth.
Well, the Tongue of Herbs had no reaction at all.
Next, Zhou Qing took out many non-toxic and harmless things and conducted a series of experiments, and finally confirmed that his conclusion was correct.
It's really just a "grass" tongue.
Then Zhou Qing fell into deep thought, and began to think about how to deal with this golden finger that was refreshed this month.
Is [Baicaozhitong] useful?
Of course there is, even if it is limited to tasting herbs, its significance is still not low.
The world is vast and the plants are endless. Even the most knowledgeable person cannot know all the things in the plant family.
If you have the tongue of a hundred herbs, you can accurately and safely identify the various medicinal herbs you come into contact with, and know how to use a particular herb.
Especially since it can taste part of the recipe of a pill, its significance is extremely important.
There are many so-called unique elixirs in the world, and the recipes are only in the hands of a few people. But in front of the Tongue of Herbs, as long as your recipe contains medicinal materials, it cannot escape this tongue.
The breakthrough from zero to one is difficult, but the breakthrough from one to two is much easier.
After getting part of the recipe, you can find an extremely skilled alchemist to deduce the rest. Is that difficult?
Just for this reason, Tongue of Herbs is the best talent among the best.
In fact, this is not the most powerful part of the Tongue of Herbs. In just a short while, Zhou Qing thought of the most perverted aspect of this talent.
It is almost the most suitable talent for alchemists, and can give an alchemist unparalleled creativity.
Ordinary alchemists learn recipes and inherit the tradition, while top alchemists create recipes and start the tradition.
If you want to create a medicinal pill from scratch, understanding the medicinal materials is the foundation and the most critical link.
With the Tongue of Herbs, top alchemists can most accurately understand the medicinal properties and effects of all herbs, and then quickly combine suitable herbs together to achieve the desired effect.
With it, you can save the cost and time of countless trial and error and get the best answer in theory.
If it was during the ignorant era of spiritual practice, when alchemy was still in its infancy, this talent in the hands of the right person, no, in the mouth of the right person, could almost create a medicine ancestor.
That ancestor of medicine could have left behind a pharmacopoeia that recorded the properties and effects of countless medicinal materials in the world, as well as countless elixir recipes, making people in later generations exclaim in horror.
So objectively speaking, this talent is really amazing.
But from Zhou Qing's personal subjective point of view, the Tongue of Hundred Herbs is not to say that it is useless to birds, but it is basically of little use.
He has already arrived at Xuandu Temple and will take the true transmission qualification test tomorrow. After passing the test, he will soon take the true transmission qualification assessment.
This month's time will most likely be spent on the true transmission assessment, and there is a high probability that I will have to temporarily leave Xuandu Temple for the assessment.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult to describe the Tongue of Hundred Herbs.
If Xuandu Temple's assessment is to ask Zhou Qing to identify medicinal herbs, then Zhou Qing can only say that his talent this month is the best among all.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
But that's simply impossible.
Xuandu Zhenchuan, the hope of Xuandu Temple, the pillar of the future, you let the Zhenchuan assessment be used to identify the medicine? If other top Taoist sects heard this, they might think that Xuandu Temple was going to transform into a specialized alchemy force.
The true teaching assessment involves many aspects, but the most important one is strength.
Even for someone as skilled in alchemy as Lu Yuanyuan, strength was the main factor in the assessment, and alchemy played a certain role in the process.
This talent is good, but it cannot directly help Zhou Qing with what he is going to do in the next month, or improve his strength.
At this stage, Zhou Qing can know the effect and take anything that can increase his strength without the need for the Tongue of Herbs to identify it.
He didn't need to taste hundreds of herbs and write the Classic of Herbs. It would be pointless to taste them all in a month. He couldn't taste all the herbs in the Xuanfa Mountains.
If facing an enemy, you can't just rely on the Tongue of Hundred Herbs to kill the enemy, right? Or you can just tell Xuandu Temple that you've gone crazy for Xuandu Temple for a month without eating, drinking or sleeping, and cracked other sects' unique secret medicines in exchange for great credit? If you do that, you're crazy.
If he could always have this talent, it would be fine. If it was exposed, it would be a plus for him and he would be taken more seriously. But after a month, the Tongue of Hundred Herbs disappeared. How could Zhou Qing explain it? The senior officials of Xuandu Temple were different from Lu Qingmo and Bai Tian during the month of [Enlightenment in Dreams]. They trusted Zhou Qing and would not ask too many questions.
Zhou Qingzhen chose to expose [Tongue of Herbs] and then this talent disappeared inexplicably. The consequences are very serious and some people will definitely have some thoughts.
If he suddenly possesses it and then suddenly disappears, Zhou Qing will be watched to death in secret in the future.
In fact, Zhou Qing sincerely felt that this tongue should not grow in his mouth, but should appear in the mouth of Luo Liuli next door.
Luo Liuli is obviously more suitable to possess the Tongue of Herbs.
"It's a pity that this talent cannot convert all the herbs tasted into energy to be absorbed by itself, but will choose to expel them. Otherwise, it is also a talent that is extremely helpful for cultivation."
Zhou Qing shook his head slightly. Few practitioners would directly absorb medicinal herbs to practice, because these things are not spiritual plants and cannot be eaten directly. The power of most medicinal herbs is violent and impure, and direct absorption is harmful.
Otherwise, why is there a step of refining and purifying before refining the elixir?
The Tongue of Herbs cannot transform the power of medicinal herbs into power suitable for absorption and refining, it can only identify it.
So, Zhou Qing decided to make a decision that went against his ancestors... and was sorry for [The Tongue of Hundred Herbs].
He is going to draw the golden finger.
Since he was no longer on the road, the golden fingers he had in the past were basically useful in facing the situation this month.
Therefore, even if the worst result occurs, it is still better than this [Tongue of Herbs].
If you draw at this time, you will definitely make money.
Save when you should, spend when you should. It's worth it to use one of your eight life points to test the waters.
After making the decision, Zhou Qing did not delay and kept repeating it in his mind.
"I want to draw the golden finger, I want to draw the golden finger..."
[Do you want to use your life points to extract the golden finger you once had? ]
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Then, glowing labels appeared in front of Zhou Qing.
[Heaven and Earth Bank], [Great Thousand Immortal Tree]...
These labels are all the names of the golden fingers he has possessed, of course, excluding [Tongue of Hundred Herbs].
All of these labels were glowing, but they dimmed the next second, and then one of them lit up again. Zhou Qing immediately turned his gaze to it. The one that was lit was...
【Creation Pot】
Huh? Is the draw over? Didn't you scare me? I just got the Fortune Pot? Is there something fishy going on? But then the Fortune Pot also dimmed, and other labels lit up and dimmed, flickering like a revolving lantern.
Zhou Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the extraction had just begun.
Brother Shu, Brother Shu, it has to be Brother Shu...
Zhou Qing kept praying in his heart, hoping very eagerly that he could renew his relationship with Brother Shu.
Come back, Daqianxianshu, my proudest belief! The divine axe is still vivid in my mind, and tears are flowing inexplicably.
I vaguely remember that month, there were powerful drops, we beat back all the enemies, and we didn't feel tired even if we chopped trees all night long! Looking at the light that was jumping faster and faster, Zhou Qing became more and more nervous.
Golden Finger, I have never asked anyone for help in my life, but today I really hope that you can let Brother Shu come back again.
Gradually, the frequency of the light began to slow down, and Zhou Qing's heart, which had been refined to perfection, beat faster like a drum.
【Double Experience】, passed...
[Alien Beast Clone], also passed...
The frequency of the light's flickering has slowed to the extreme, and it has stayed on the [Heaven and Earth Bank].
Zhou Qing let out a loud cry, his face looking painful. He didn't want to do such a thing.
He is not short of money now. Even if Tiandi Bank can drop some other unconventional money, it is something that has not been verified and it is not clear what it is used for. It is not as direct and accurate as Brother Shu's.
Golden Finger, An Lang is not here now. When she comes back, I will ask her to kneel down for you. Jump again, jump again...
Huh! Zhou Qing suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, and the light jumped again and came to the top of the [Da Qian Xian Tree]! Zhou Qing was extremely excited, but then he became nervous again.
Stop jumping, stop jumping. Not only will I make An Lang kneel down before you, I will also make An Lang kowtow to you. Please stop jumping. Let’s end it here. I’ve troubled you for a day. Go and have a rest.
【Drawing End】
[This draw brings back the golden finger: Daqianxianshu]
[Do you choose to use this cheat to replace the naturally refreshed cheat of this month: Tongue of Herbs, which can only be replaced once a month]
Tags disappeared one by one, and new information streams appeared. Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fist, nodded quickly, and confirmed in his heart:
"Replace, replace!"
[Replacing...Replacement completed]
[This month's golden finger: Daqianxian Tree]
[Remaining life point tree: seven]
Good! Don't say that [Tongue of Hundred Herbs] is useless to him now. Even if it is useful, it is worth it if it can bring back Brother Shu!
So far, this is the golden finger that has helped him the most. Zhou Qing feels that all the golden fingers he has ever had are worth it if they are exchanged for the [Great Thousand Immortal Tree].
The information disappeared, and Zhou Qing felt a strange sensation on his tongue again, which disappeared in a flash.
Zhou Qing knew that this must be because the Tongue of Herbs had disappeared from his body. He took a pill and tried it, but sure enough, there was no reaction. His tongue no longer had that special ability.
But it doesn't matter.
He didn't even mourn for a moment the disappearance of [Tongue of Herbs]. Now rushing to the battlefield was the golden finger that had helped him the most, Brother Shu!
That familiar feeling appeared again, and somehow Zhou Qing could sense that he had a connection with a place.
The secret realm of the fairy tree!
And Zhou Qing felt a change, which was a change in the way he logged into the Fairy Tree Secret Realm.
As the thought came to him, Zhou Qing's body and soul remained here.
But in the secret realm of the fairy tree, which was located somewhere unknown, a visitor came again, and it was an old friend.
Zhou Qing appeared here in the form of a projection, looking at the familiar environment, his heart was excited.
They are back, all back.
