Chapter 102 Chapter 102 In fact, this kind of 100-foot bamboo cutting...
In fact, this protective vest made by cutting a hundred-foot bamboo into small pieces does not require any special refining techniques. The most important things are the materials and the potions used to prepare them.
Immediately, the application scope of "Beiyuan Bamboo," derived from Baizhang Bamboo, expanded. Even more remarkable was the potion's origins in an ancient formula refined by Jinglin Xinghuo, a phenomenon related to the unique and peculiar nature of Chinese herbal remedies. Professor Li's laboratory, centered on research into the medicinal uses of Beiyuan Bamboo, garnered unprecedented attention. The trend of disparaging China and praising the West, akin to the idea of "foreign monks can chant sutras," which had only just begun to take hold with the opening-up policy, was reversing.
Because of this, many more people came to Shuangyuan to visit Lin Xinghuo, which was a stark contrast to the situation a few days ago when Fang Tongjian dragged his old friends to write articles to criticize him, which led to a deserted visit.
Everyone has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. Everyone, young and old, in Shuangyuan, Sajin Lane understands this, but understanding does not mean acceptance. Lin Xinghuo closed the door to visitors on the grounds that his injury had not healed yet.
During this period, Wu Nian seemed to be the busiest, but in fact, the one who worked the hardest should be Lin Xinghuo.
Yet, despite her pure wood spiritual roots and exceptional alchemy talent, she still couldn't create the "fetal transformation and detoxification" elixir she'd envisioned. While abortion pills already had relatively mature formulas, the task of transforming the fetus within the mother's body and replenishing her body proved incredibly difficult. She always failed at the final stage of combining the elixir. Just as Lin Xinghuo was about to force the elixir to form, a thunderbolt struck, nearly destroying the gourd cauldron she'd nurtured for years.
It was Wu Nian who reminded her: "Aborting the fetus is fine, but transforming it is against the grain. How can a fetal spirit that already exists cease to exist?" A fetus is different from the rest of a person's flesh. When it emerges, it is no longer simply a part of the mother's body; it possesses its own independent soul. The mother's body can determine life and death, but that's all. Once it's here, it's here.
Lin Xinghuo was startled. She suddenly realized that she had been stuck in a dead end. She only thought that rebirth was the best way for these victimized women based on her own ideas, but she did not take their own wishes into consideration... She didn't know when, perhaps when her cultivation level became higher and higher, and everything she used, touched and ate were spiritual objects, or when she could easily obtain rare and ancient spiritual plants, she became "condescending". It is true that she is willing to do her utmost to help others transition to mortal spirits, but this does not mean that others have to follow her wishes - if things continue like this, when spiritual energy fully recovers in the future, if people with spiritual roots choose not to practice, will she force them to practice and ask them to follow her ambitions?
But that was her path of desire, why should she care about other people's business? Lin Xinghuo, oh Lin Xinghuo, she didn't even realize that her mind was clouded and she almost went astray on the path of cultivation.
The path of spiritual cultivation is long and arduous. Lin Xinghuo immediately entered a state of meditation beneath the Soul-Returning Tree, with Wu Nian by his side. The snow-white fox skull hidden within the Soul-Returning Flower gently swayed, and the demon elixir within gently struck the bone wall, emitting a melodious, lingering echo, like a requiem. The gleaming red fox heart gem chased the demon elixir, but each time it caught up, it refused to collide, preferring to spin itself like a top, gently nudging and rubbing against it. Looking closely, a small, pale green bud quietly emerged from the center of the shimmering purple demon elixir. The bud's color matched Lin Xinghuo's inheritance plaque, a pale, misty hue imbued with a tranquil and peaceful aura.
The heart is where emotions converge, and the Fox Heart Gem is chasing after that pale blue flower bud...
After that night, Lin Xinghuo quickly refined detoxification pills, as well as pills for abortion, fetal preservation, health care and other functions.
Lin Qiyun's methods were indeed sinister, but he had long since abandoned the ways of spiritual energy. The key ingredients in the wine were ginseng threads and opium paste, laced with evil magic. While that wine was sinister and foul, it was, after all, intended for ordinary people. Lin Xinghuo used spiritual implants to cure the evil, much like the blood ginseng used to eliminate the pressure, using a large amount of spiritual energy to dispel the evil. For simple toxicity, the inherited detoxification pills could be used to counteract it. The detoxification pills required a variety of spiritual herbs. Lin Xinghuo employed sorcery to stimulate their growth and substituted similar spiritual plants for herbs she lacked. To the best of her ability, she refined the highest-grade elixir to date. Several of the pills bore a single danwen, the hallmark of a Xuan-grade elixir.
Lin Xinghuo did not keep any Xuan-level elixirs, but decided to give them all away and distribute them according to each person's situation.
But the victims weren't in good condition. Lin Qiyun seemed to be killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he needed infants to set up the formation, and on the other, he attempted to use these fetuses as low-level "blood ginseng living basins," using their innate energy to encourage the ginseng seeds to germinate. Consequently, the fetuses themselves carried a bit of the blood ginseng's unholy nature of absorbing human essence, weakening the pregnant mothers... No wonder he had to use those vicious dogs to defile people; it turned out those dogs themselves were tools for the blood ginseng to reproduce.
There was one piece of news that eased Lin Xinghuo's nerves a little—of the twenty-two victims, thirteen were women from the villains' own village. Victims shouldn't be categorized, but since these women weren't innocent, Lin Xinghuo, Wu Nian, Rong Bocen, Fang Tongjian, and the others couldn't help but feel a little better.
Although the spirits and beasts had previously traced the victims, they were too naive to understand the complex connections between humans. It was only after Wu Nian and Lin Xinghuo, who had freed up their time, personally investigated and discovered the victims.
The mothers, wives and daughters of bandits are not necessarily bad people, but women who can survive well and even live a comfortable life in a bandit village are not so innocent.
Especially since Lin Qiyun knew that the blood ginseng species devoured the mother's essence, and he offered a large sum of money to these vicious dogs to "appease" their victims. The hyenas Lin Qiyun raised were even more greedy than he was. Women from outside were nice, but they were inconvenient after all. Just a taste of something new was enough, but asking them to bear pups was too much trouble. But the women from the village they brought with them stayed with them day and night. They were just there to give their masters a child. With only a few dozen yuan for each one, anyone who didn't take the plunge was a fool!
When the public security organs finally pried open a loophole and found the dozen or so pregnant women who had been hidden, the relationships they sorted out were jaw-dropping.
A daughter-in-law pressured her mother-in-law into getting pregnant: "She's only in her forties, and she's full of lust. She doesn't have to work, so she can just sleep with the old men nearby. Not only can she make some money from them, but she can also get money from people who buy children... They pay a hundred yuan for each child. With this hundred yuan, why wouldn't you do it? If my son wasn't such a useless person, I'd want to make this money myself!"
There are also aunts who cheat on their niece's wife, and even more who deceive their sisters from their natal family... one drags the other into the water, and even if the one is not pregnant, she is not innocent.
On the other hand, Lin Qiyun's transfer from the ministry to a university was suddenly interrupted.
