Upon entering the room, a rich aroma of herbs wafted through the air.
"Huh, why are these medicinal herbs different from the Chinese herbs I usually see?" Jiang Yuan walked towards the nearest piece of white gelatinous substance.
"This is white resin collected from thousand-year-old maple trees. It was in the bowl of paste I gave you earlier! It has excellent effects in promoting blood circulation and relieving pain!" Tang Xuewen explained with a smile.
"A thousand-year-old maple?" Jiang Yuan was taken aback. Ancient trees that could be said to be a thousand years old were not easy to find; they were truly rare except in deep mountains and marshes.
"Time is the best way to preserve the flavor of medicinal herbs! Good things need to be slowly simmered to develop their full aroma!" Tang Xuewen said meaningfully.
Jiang Yuan nodded as if he understood, but not quite. Most of the medicinal herbs on the market now are artificially cultivated, lacking the rich heritage accumulated by traditional Chinese medicine over the years. It is understandable that traditional Chinese medicine has become inferior to Western medicine.
After taking a few steps, Jiang Yuan discovered the medicinal herbs he needed for his trip to Shenmu Dian. "Elder Tang, what kind of medicinal herbs are these?"
Jiang Yuan was pointing to a withered, yellowish-brown blade of grass, but it felt hard to the touch and was quite different from the appearance of grass.
"This is Ganoderma lucidum. I asked a herb-gathering team to pick it by chance in Changbai Mountain. Because its medicinal effects are rather unusual, we haven't used it yet!" Tang Xuewen said after taking a look.
"Can you sell this to me?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"How about this, take whatever you need from here, but Mr. Tang would like to ask you for a favor!" Tang Xuewen seemed a little embarrassed.
"What is it? Please tell me, Elder Tang!" Jiang Yuan immediately replied, even if he didn't take the medicinal herbs, he would still help.
"Find me some food!" Tang Xuewen said with difficulty. "Alas, food is scarce in the city after the disaster. We could still eat some of the stored food a few days ago, but now the stored food is all gone."
"Besides, it's okay for an old man like me to eat less, but it's not okay for those children!"
"Food!" Jiang Yuan feigned surprise. "I thought there was something difficult to do, but this is easy, I have some on me!"
Jiang Yuan took out a pile of grain from his storage ring. This was what he had collected in the warehouse. He put out enough food to feed the old man for a whole year before he stopped.
"By the way, does Grandpa Tang also bring his grandchildren?" Jiang Yuan asked when Tang Xuewen mentioned having children.
"No, it's just that after the disaster, we adopted a group of homeless children. They're at the age where they're growing, and they can't go hungry!" Tang Xuewen sighed.
"Well then, you can use these grains for now, and I'll bring you more next time I come!" Jiang Yuan said.
"This amount of food is enough!" Tang Xuewen waved his hand with a smile. "Recently, I've been teaching some of the children to be independent. Once they awaken their spiritual powers, I'll let them earn their own food so they won't go hungry!"
"Old Tang is a kind and benevolent man!" Jiang Yuan said this from the bottom of his heart.
“What kind of benevolence is this! Everyone has selfish motives. I just want to pass on the medical skills of my Tang family. Otherwise, I would be happy to live a quiet life!” Tang Xuewen sighed.
Jiang Yuan didn't respond. If passing on medical skills is considered selfish, then most people are selfish and self-serving.
"Jiang Yuan, take whatever you like!" Tang Xuewen patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder, then turned and left the Chinese medicine shop.
The meaning is clear: take as much as you want, don't worry about him!
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan did not hesitate and began to collect the medicinal materials needed to cultivate the Divine Wood Scripture.
There weren't many medicinal herbs, but it still took Jiang Yuan a lot of effort to accurately identify the specific medicine among them.
"Phew, finally done!" Jiang Yuan stopped what he was doing when the Heavenly Eye notification disappeared, and the cultivation plan of the Divine Wood Canon that he had collected had also changed.
The Divine Wood Scripture has nine levels of cultivation, each requiring a large amount of cultivation resources, including spiritual herbs, minerals, poisons, and so on. Jiang Yuan only had two items left to collect for the first level.
First, it's the Divine Bloodstone! Second, it's a kind of spiritual powder. After in-depth analysis, the source of the spiritual powder has also been identified. It's an item that can be obtained from the core.
"It seems the Divine Wood Codex will have to wait a while!" Jiang Yuan sighed. He had thought he could collect the materials to cultivate the first level of the Divine Wood Codex here, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.
"Forget it, let's take advantage of the fact that no one's around and see what kind of talent it has been forged?"
Jiang Yuan didn't go to get the medicinal herbs, but instead used his Heavenly Eye to detect himself.
With the healing talent as a template, the Hand of Death began to refine the healing talent according to the template after consuming one hundred Marks of the Dead.
This time, he observed the entire process of the disappearance of the mark of the dead up close, and at the same time, he had a different feeling about the blessing of death.
These marks of the dead, which he had blessed, were surprisingly quiet when being melted down, while one or two of the marks of the dead, which he had cursed, were very uncooperative, seemingly harboring deep resentment towards him.
But that level of non-cooperation was completely harmless; the powerful control directly refined the mark of the dead.
As the clairvoyant said, such resentment cannot be effective unless it reaches a certain level.
"Ding, the smelting talent is complete! Acquired the primary talent: Resurrection."
"Resurgence: The light of heaven and earth descends, and all things are revived."
"Please select a replacement talent! If the host does not take any action, a talent orb will be generated in ten seconds!"
These three sentences made Jiang Yuan hesitate. Recovery is indeed good, but is there a better option now?
Ten seconds later, Jiang Yuan had a white, transparent pigeon egg-shaped object in his hand, which was the talent ball containing the revival.
Pushing open the door and stepping outside, Tang Xuewen was talking to Leng Yue across a distance of five meters, which looked quite strange.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Yuan asked, puzzled.
Leng Yue only emerged from the darkness when she saw Jiang Yuan appear, while Tang Xuewen said awkwardly, "I originally wanted to give the girl some psychological counseling, but she was very resistant to me, so I just chatted with her!"
"Jiang Yuan, are you done yet? We still have a mission!" Leng Yue frowned, seemingly wondering why they were here.
"Alright, let's go!" Jiang Yuan said, then turned to Tang Xuewen and said, "Old Tang, take this storage ring. It contains some daily necessities and cultivation items that we'll need after the catastrophe."
Seeing that Old Tang was about to refuse, Jiang Yuan immediately picked up the bowl of medicine paste he had been holding and left, not giving Old Tang any chance to refuse.
Leng Yue also left directly, without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Tang Xuewen had no choice but to put away his storage ring and watch the two figures gradually disappear into the night.
"Grandpa, has the Tang family come to our door?" A timid little boy's voice came from the upstairs attic.
"No, they were just two injured people passing by! Let's make a good connection; it might help you in the future." Tang Xuewen used something to block up the damaged door, then said kindly, "Go to sleep. We'll leave Nancheng in a few days."
