Chapter 9 Medicinal Herb Test (Part 1)
Canvassing, international practice
—————————————————————————
After leaving the south gate of Wangshan City, there is a paved road paved with dust. The road extends southward into the Fussel Mountains for 300 miles. There are three villages along the way. This direction is the most dangerous, so the villages are the fewest. The village where Dunk is located is the most remote "Roland Village".
Ge Zheng and the guide returned to the village, and guided him to a big tree in the northmost part of the village, pointing to a broken wooden house under the tree: "Here, that's the home of Honest Dunk. But he must be no longer here." The guide thought that Dunk had cheated on others and must have hid.
Dunk was really not at home, but he went to the east end of the village and asked Aunt Colleen to help him tell her that his wife was going.
Ge Zheng had already prepared everything before he came, so he immediately wrote a guide, opened the tent and rested on the grass next to the Dunke house.
It was getting late, and Dunk was back soon. He was in a bad mood. Although he took out a gold coin betrothal gift, Aunt Colleen still told him mercilessly that there was probably no girl in the entire Roland Village who wanted to marry him, so he was just a chopping wood.
Dunk returned to his nest, and he was depressed and did not find Ge Zheng's tent. "Dunk!" A call made him raise his head: "Master of the nobles! Why are you here?" Dunke was surprised. Ge Zheng waved his hand and said, "I am not a noble, I'll come to you for some things, please help."
Dunke scratched his head honestly: "For us, the rich people are all nobles. Tell me, what's the matter?" "I want to inspect the Jueling around your village, and I need a guide. I decided to pay the guide the fee for ten silver coins a day. How about it, what are you willing to do?"
Dunke was worried about his poverty. The outbreak in Wangshan City obviously could not allow the people in the village to examine themselves seriously, but if they followed a "noble master", the situation would be completely different. Therefore, Dunke nodded and agreed immediately: "I do!"
Ten silver coins a day, and one gold coins in ten days. Oh my God, the village chief’s father is not as honest as me, Dunk!
Jueling is actually just an exaggerated name. Any steep and difficult-to-climb peak is called Jueling. Ordinary villagers cannot climb up, and adventurers who can climb up think it is unprofitable. Jueling is actually not dangerous, it is just that no one is willing to climb it.
The ridge in front of Ge Zheng was like a sharp sword between the mountains. Other mountains had valley ridges, high and low, either flat or steep. Only this one was straight up and down, and there was no place to find a place except for some cracks in the rocks.
Most of the surface of the red and yellow rocks is exposed, and there are only a few spots of green plants with small leaves growing, each of which looks like a person with skin disease.
"Master Aristocrat, this is the nearest ridge to the village, but it is a relatively difficult one to climb. No one in the whole village has ever been there except me. One of the treasures sold to you last time was found from it." When Ge Zheng heard this, he was very interested: "Which one?" "That yellow stone." Ge Zheng's enthusiasm suddenly dropped below zero.
Since there are ten silver coins hired guides, they naturally have to make the best use of them. He was waiting under Jueling, with ropes wrapped around his waist, his fingers snatched in the cracks of the rocks, and he could hang the weight of his thin body with his strong fingers, and climb up little by little with the strength of his arms. If this scene was placed on the earth, it would be enough to make the champion of the Rock Climbing World Cup ashamed.
The ridge was about three hundred feet high, and the Honest Dunk was climbing on the cliff like an ape. Ge Zheng waited below for about an hour, and a rope hung down from above.
Although it is not easy to climb up along the rope, it is much more labor-saving than climbing up like Dunk. Ge Zheng was a little regretful. If he could reach the level of "refining Qi", the thirty-foot-high cliff could jump up with one breath. From moving Qi to refining Qi, it is a qualitative change process.
The density of spiritual energy in this world is much higher than that on the earth. On the earth, Ge Zheng started from breathing, ate qi, and circulated qi in one cycle. It took half an hour to complete a great circle, but it took a whole hour here. The density of spiritual energy is high, and the time required to accumulate spiritual power is extended a lot.
Although the speed of practicing martial arts has slowed down, the improvement of the realm has accelerated. When Ge Zheng came to this world, he was still in the second level of "sitting forgot" realm. After three years under the cloak of the goddess of wisdom, he reached the state of inward vision. Now he is only one step away from "guarding the orifices". You must know that on earth, he has practiced for more than ten years before he has crossed the stage of "entering quietness" to reach the state of "being silent". Now in just four years, he can achieve more than ten years of achievement on earth.
Ge Zheng is now only at the level of a level six warrior. If he enters the realm of "guarding the orifices" in time, he will definitely go further and become a level seven warrior.
The scenery on Jueling is unlimited, and the peak is not narrow, enough to stand seven or eight people. Dunk and Ge Zheng are not crowded on it. But except for a few tenacious plants, there are no rare medicines that Ge Zheng expects on Jueling. Those plants have a brilliant roots and have the potential to be bonsai.
"Look, this is that kind of precious stone." Dunk was a little decisive and didn't realize that Ge Zheng was not interested in that kind of pyrite at all. He snatched it in a crack of the stone and found another pyrite!
Ge Zheng was speechless, forget it, since he was so kind to dig it out, let's take it with him first.
For several days, the two of them searched through more than a dozen ridges near the village. The plants in this world are very different from those on the earth. What Ge Zheng learned in his heart makes him feel a sense of grievance here. He found several rare drugs recorded in think tanks, but those drugs must be combined with the sacrificial healing magic to work. There is no systematic medicine in this world, and the drugs cannot be used independently. The therapeutic magic must be used to stimulate the efficacy of the medicine. Otherwise, even if it is taken, it will be useless and may be poisoned.
