Volume 1 Chapter 13 Boiling Medicine (1)
Ye Mo returned to the cliff cave, a temporary camp.
Mo Ling was meditating cross-legged, urging his internal strength to heal his injuries.
Ye Mo didn't want to disturb Mo Ling, who was healing his wounds, so he lightly climbed over the spiritual wood fence and walked into the cave, and lightly put the few remaining wild fruits and a few healing herbs on the ground.
He didn't plan to tell Mo Ling about the robbery he had just encountered Zheng Yiqing's little marquis.
In the process of fighting and escaping just now, a lot of wild fruits were dropped, which made Ye Mo extremely painful. Although wild fruits are not precious, there is not much food on this isolated island in the sea, so eat some less.
Ye Mo felt that time was very tight now, and on the one hand, he had to pick herbs everywhere for healing and quenching his body, and on the other hand, he had to continuously strengthen and repair the spirit wood fence, so as to add a little more certainty to the next resistance to the tide of sea monsters and beasts, and even against other martial artists on the island.
The most important thing is to improve your cultivation strength!
Now he has a lot of quenching herbs in his hand, enough to quench his body for several days, and even enough for him to break through to the late stage of martial arts, and then the qi and blood, strength, and speed of his body will be greatly enhanced.
It is even expected to be able to cultivate the high-level third move of "Wave Chopping Decision", "Wave Stacking and Slashing", and the lethality will directly more than double.
Martial arts is his biggest reliance on surviving on the isolated island.
Of course, it will take time, and he has to hurry.
Ye Mo carefully recalled the previous process of fighting with the two retinue martial artists, he had rarely fought with other martial artists before, and this kind of combat experience was very valuable.
"There is not much difference in strength between me and those two, and they are both mid-level martial artists. I was able to easily defeat both of them for two reasons. The first one, although I have few sword moves in "Cutting the Waves", the first and second moves have been cultivated to the level of turning decay into magic and reaching the peak, far surpassing them. The second point is that the lean man was too confident in his eagle claw skills, and he actually dared to come directly to grab my Qingfeng Sword. If I can perform the third move, 'Wave Stack and Slash', then the lean man will probably die in a foreign land!"
Ye Mo has a deeper understanding of the true meaning of "Cutting the Waves".
The three moves of "Cutting Waves" are "Breaking the Waves", "Vortex Cutting", and "Waves Stacking and Chopping".
Every time the sword is slashed, it is from top to bottom, from top to bottom, and the speed is extremely fast, so that the opponent cannot defend his head point.
"Vortex Slash" is to sweep around, with one enemy and many.
"Wave Stacking Slash" is an upgraded version of the Wave Breaking Slash, which splits twice or even three times in an instant. This quickly increases the power of the slash and breaks through the enemy's defenses in one fell swoop.
This third move is actually a combo of two or three first moves, so "Cutting the Waves" really only has two moves.
Compared with other martial arts cheats, which often have dozens or hundreds of moves, the moves of "Breaking the Waves" are highly condensed and simple to the point that they couldn't be simpler.
But simple doesn't mean weak.
Proficiency is the foundation of the strength of martial arts moves. Any move, after a million, five, million, or ten million times of cultivation, will produce incredible changes, reaching the level of perfection, reaching the pinnacle, and even turning decay into a magical level.
Ye Mo once listened to people in the teahouse when he was a child, there was once a big empire in the Kyushu continent, and there was a peerless military general surnamed Cheng, who was good at using an axe, and only knew three moves, and he could rival the world's generals, and his fame shocked the world.
Ye Mo didn't believe it very much before, how to fight with only three moves, and only now did he gradually comprehend it, even if it was only three moves, once he cultivated to the transformation realm, he was also a peerless master, not an ordinary martial artist's ability to fight.
"Even if it is the lowest-grade martial arts secret like "Cutting the Waves", you can still cultivate to become a peerless martial artist!"
Ye Mo clenched his fists and said secretly in his heart.
He sorted out the herbs he had picked today.
Taking red blood vine alone, the medicinal properties are extremely yang, which will make the body very hot and dry. It can be neutralized by the mild quenching herb of horse chestnut lotus, which can be much better.
Ye Mo remembered that "Wuguo Herbal Medicine" once said that the seven-leaf lotus is not suitable for raw consumption, but should be boiled over a warm fire and combined with other herbs, such as red blood vines, in order to exert its effect.
"Boiling herbs, now there is no shortage of fire and medicinal materials, what is missing is a container, where to find this container for boiling medicine!? It seems that you can only use a stone bowl!"
Ye Mo glanced around and found that there was no equipment suitable for boiling herbs. Get out of the cave and find a "bowl" like a rock embryo in the surrounding hills. Then use the Qingfeng sword to polish and process, which can be used to boil herbs.
After Mo Ling finished meditating, she opened her eyes, just in time to see Ye Mo putting the stone on the ground and preparing to make a fire, she couldn't help but ask with a puzzled expression, "What is this for?"
"It's ...... Stone bowl, used to boil herbs!"
Ye Mo looked at the ugly "stone bowl" that he had just polished, and when Mo Ling asked him this, his old face was also a little unbearable, the conditions of this cave were too shabby.
Actually, it's a rock, but it's got a big groove in it.
Ye Mo grinded the area around the groove a little more flat and used it to hold the herbs.
"Stone bowl?"
Mo Ling sneered, trying to restrain himself. Otherwise, she was afraid that her laughter would be very unimpressive.
Ye Mo was helpless, ignoring Mo Ling's joking expression, turned around and walked out of the cave to find two more square stones, put on tree branches, and used them as scaffolds.
Now all the utensils for boiling medicine are ready.
Ye Mo plucked a leaf of the seven-leaf lotus and cut out an inch-long red blood vine. The medicinal properties of the warm yin and the medicinal properties of the strong yang are all herbs that are very suitable for quenching.
Put them together in a stone bowl, grind them with a stone pestle, mix them with water, shake them well, and then place the stone bowl between two ashlar branches, and start a fire underneath it to start boiling the quenching herbs.
Heat slowly rose from the stone bowl, and blisters bubbled in the blood-red thick liquid.
Ye Mo took out a few healing herbs from the herb pile, thinking that after he boiled the medicine and quenched his body, he would make a bowl of decoction for Mo Ling to remove internal injuries and restore her strength as soon as possible.
As for the cost of this healing herb, he generously didn't plan to charge Mo Ling.
Last night, Ye Mo used a packet of healing herbs to take away Mo Ling's four-inch red blood vine, because he didn't know that this island in the East China Sea would have a sea monster landing on the island at the end of each month.
Now that he knows the Tao, he needs to think more long-term.
One more mid-level martial artist will help, and it will also increase the certainty of resisting the Kraken Beast. In the face of the powerful Kraken Beast, he didn't think that he could defend this temporary camp in the cave alone.
Half an hour later, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out of the stone bowl, through the wooden planks, and drifted throughout the cave, even outside the cave.
"The herbs are almost ready! It is worthy of the combination of two seventh-grade and eighth-grade quenching herbs, just the medicinal fragrance makes people feel refreshed! "Wuguo Herbal Medicine" said that the medicinal effect of such a combination can be three or four times better than taking the red blood vine alone!"
Ye Mo couldn't help but be overjoyed, smelling the fragrance of medicine, his spirit was lifted.
