Chapter 6: The Bones of the Winged Mouse
Yuejia City is a mountain city, when the city was first built, due to the convenience of defending against demon beasts, the Yue clan sect master chose to build by the mountain, the more important the clan industry in the clan, the more eager to pile higher. However, only this medicine shop, which required the purchase of a large number of medicinal materials, as well as the weapons shop and armor shop that collected the corpses and materials of the precious demon beasts, were placed at the gate of the city at the bottom of the mountain. First, it is to do business, so it is natural to put the store in the most conspicuous place. Second, it is to save the original manpower, and it is more convenient for customers. Of course, some of the most precious pharmaceutical materials, as well as the place where pharmaceutical forges are forged, will not be placed under this. What is sold here is just some ordinary pills and weapons.
And when Yue Yu walked into the pharmacy with Ran Li, he saw that this huge shop was full of hunters wearing rotten leather jackets and carrying bows and arrows. There are many people who sell medicinal herbs, but few people who buy medicines. However, he didn't dare to despise it at all, the wilderness of this world is full of some extremely dangerous places. These hunters can come and go in and out of it, and hunt demon beasts, in addition to having extremely strong survival skills in the wild, they also have at least the strength of a martial artist or above.
His eyes swept around the room, and when his eyes touched a fat man who was making an abacus, Yue Yu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked over there.
"Uncle De—"
Yue Yu bowed and saluted, but before he could speak, he saw the fat man flicking his sleeves with a very impatient expression.
"Come here again to identify herbs, forget it! Go in by yourself, be careful not to mess around inside. Don't touch what you shouldn't, and take it easy if you can!"
Yue Yu smiled slightly, bowed to the other party again cautiously, and then crossed the counter and walked in the direction behind the store.
At this time, beside the fat man, an elite man dressed in the account room frowned slightly when he saw this. "Master Youde, I'm afraid this is a little unruly. If something happens, we can't explain—"
"It's just an ordinary medicine storehouse, what can happen? What's more, this kid has been here a few times before, and he still knows how to take a chance. ”
Yue Youde first frowned disapprovingly, and then sighed. "This child's father used to be a good friend of me, and since he has begged me, he can't help but take care of me. His martial arts practice is already doomed, and turning to medicine is not a way out. You're going to take care of it for me!"
Speaking of this, Yue Youde looked at the inner curtain behind the counter with complicated eyes. Speaking of which, this doll is also pitiful, most of the fields that his father has worked hard to earn for decades cannot be kept by an acre. But even so, there are people who can't wait—"
These words behind it, Yue Yu naturally couldn't hear them. He was familiar with the road, walking in the corridor behind the pharmacy. When he pushed open a large door at the very end, a temple that occupied at least half of the space of the building, revealed to him. Yue Yu's mood suddenly began to jump.
This is a large medicinal herb storehouse, and the walls on both sides are full of some medicine cabinets about three Cheng Ren high, with a total of more than 10,000 drawers, which are neatly arranged in between. Some of the servants were constantly busy, either packing the processed herbs into the cupboard, or taking them out and wrapping them on a medicine scale, and passing them out through a narrow window.
Yue Yu knew that after this pharmacy, there would be a place for medicine. Generally, the wound medicine with a large consumption, bone-setting medicine and qi tonifying pills are made there.
However, this had nothing to do with the purpose of his visit, Yue Yu first looked at the innermost part of the medicine storehouse, the cabinet with gold leaf. This is what Yue Youde said, what cannot be touched, the precious medicines received by the pharmacy on the same day, will be temporarily stored here. For this medicine cabinet, Yue Yu was quite hot. It's just a pity that with his current identity, if he really touches it, I'm afraid he won't want to come again in the future.
With a regretful sigh, Yue Yu shifted his attention to the sides, and then directly locked on to the directions located in the medicine cabinets No. 28 to No. 30, and walked over.
He first opened one of the drawers marked Horse Cinnaire No. 1474, and then, pretendingly, took out a drug that had been completely dehydrated and dried, and began to sniff it lightly. This is the second procedure for identifying medicines, looking at its shape, smelling its taste, Yue Yu pretended to be similar, and the servants and miscellaneous servants of the medicine shops passing by next to him were also unconcerned.
However, at this moment, in Yue Yu's pupils, the same glow flashed. And in his mind, the seven-leaf Ling in his hand gradually showed its complete shape with the exploration of the internal strength in his body.
His analytical ability can only completely analyze the substances touched on the surface of the skin, but if he can use the internal force in the body to comprehensively and thoroughly explore and penetrate the substance, he can also analyze the entire and general structure. However, there is a principle here, that is, the greater the mass and density of something, the more difficult it is for its internal forces to penetrate into it. Like the axe used by Ran Li, the part of wolframite gold and other rare metals that seeped into it, he had never successfully analyzed it in the past two months.
However, these loosely structured plant fibers are apparently not in this case, about twenty seconds later. A diagram showing the shape and molecular structure of the horse chestnut, its mineral composition, and even the elements it contains has been shown in the image mapped in his brain.
Looking at those elemental ingredients carefully, Yue Yu felt slightly disappointed in his heart, but he still picked up another sun-dried horse chestnut again. A single drug chart does not prove that it has a common surname. Therefore, Yue Yu's approach is to randomly select three to five of them and compare them.
By the time he had saved all the detailed information about the components of the horse chestnut in the memory bank of the auxiliary parasitic system, it was already two minutes later. At this time, Ran Li was already squinting his eyes impatiently, and sat on the side as usual and fell asleep. After a while, there was a slight snoring again.
Yue Yu laughed when he saw this, and ignored him. Proceed to the next one, the identification of the 1475th stream.
And after about three hours, the disappointment in Yue Yu's eyes became stronger and stronger. At this moment, his face was slightly pale, and sweat was dripping with beans on his forehead.
Identifying drugs, though not a physical task. But for him, there are some differences. The internal breath in his body, every time he analyzed those medicinal materials, he would consume a little bit. And with his current cultivation as a second-level warrior, fifty to one hundred kinds a day is already the limit. In addition, the so-called auxiliary parasitic system, despite its computer-like capabilities, is not a truly tireless electronic device. Instead, he optimizes the remaining and unusable resources in his brain and integrates them for computation. Not to mention the need to consume a lot of physical energy, if it continues for a long time, it will permanently damage brain cells.
In fact, being able to identify the current number 1543 is the result of his efforts for more than 20 consecutive days. And although from it, Yue Yu had already found the vast majority of the medicinal ingredients he needed. But the most important, the most demanding, and the most critical one has not been seen so far.
Regarding this matter, Yue Yu was not in a hurry. However, looking at Yue Youde's expression, that Uncle De, I am afraid that he is already a little tired of him, and it is really difficult to say how many times he can come to this pharmacy in the future. If you want to analyze more drugs later, you can only buy them on the street. But in this way, it will cost a lot of money, not to mention, and it is easy to expose your abilities and intentions-
Trying not to show his anxiety on his face, Yue Yu used his extremely hidden gaze to sweep the innermost medicine cabinets with 'gold leaf' on them again. Then I was worried again, could it be that the ingredient could really only be found in those precious medicinal materials?
It's a pity that these things, not to mention that he can't buy them, even if he really has the money and the way to get his hands on them, it will only cause dissatisfaction within the clan. In the Yue family's city, although the Yue clan does not prohibit other people from buying and selling medicinal materials, those precious medicines are all monopolized by the clan, and no one else is allowed to interfere, even the disciples in the clan are no exception.
Shaking his head slightly, Yue Yu struggled to suppress the disappointment in his heart and opened the number 1544 drawer. And this time, the label says Winged Mouse Bone.
