After the two returned, life returned to peace.
If it is said to be completely calm, it is not necessarily true, there are many things to do, and the entire team of Gongyi Tianheng is very busy.
Of course, the progress is also great.
First of all, Long Yi sent the goods belonging to Fumanduo to him, and successfully exchanged a large amount of gold. And with the help of Fu Manduo, he successfully rented a shop in the square market of Zongmen, and put up the "Yaoshengtang" brand, and followed Gongyi Tianheng's medicine shop in Cangyun Kingdom for many years. One name - Zhang Mingyuan and other three pharmacists have been able to successfully refine a lot of medicinal herbs one after another. While slowly stocking up, they put the goods in, and then add the medicinal pills provided by Gu Zuo. After a while, Should be able to open smoothly.
Then, it was Long Er and a few slave warriors who went out to buy a few female warrior slaves with the funds exchanged before. It also required firm will, but also had a good appearance - without him, opening a store would always have to be done. Some service staff, especially when entertaining guests, always use the feminine femininity of women to synthesize masculinity. However, although the female warriors bought did not choose the stunning appearance, but for some disgusting reasons, the female warriors were still more expensive than the male warriors. Such a so-called "added value" is really sighing.
Of course, for Gongyi Tianheng, there is no difference between male slaves and female slaves, as long as he does things honestly, he will give the same treatment.
Finally, it is time to recruit pharmacists again.
He still used a few pill recipes to hook up the pharmacist, and he also successfully hooked up with a few people who seemed to have excellent personalities and had a soft spot for the way of refining medicine. They were arranged to Zhang Mingyuan and others, and asked them to bring them along, and also taught the corresponding Attribute mental method and medicine refining technique, continue to cultivate the team.
In addition to this, continue to purchase medicinal materials, etc., and spend a large amount of gold and silver.
Gongyi Tianheng had used up 80% of the golden ticket in his hand, and he was only waiting for everything to be on the right track before he could return the funds and make more investments.
In short, everything is not so easy to achieve.
·
Gu Zuo squatted beside the field with a tangled expression on his face. He held a long bar in his hand, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Because it was a long time, after the Gongyi Tianheng finished his work, he came over and said, "Azuo, what's wrong?"
Gu Zuojong raised the long object up: "Brother, look."
Gongyi Tianheng looked down, and after seeing it clearly, his expression was also a little strange: "Red blood rice... rice ears?"
Gu Zuo nodded, his tone a bit difficult: "It's strange... right."
Gongyi Tianheng was silent for a moment, and nodded.
No wonder Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo both had such an attitude, because that ear of rice was really weird.
The red blood rice is a good thing to replenish the qi and blood of the warriors and gradually strengthen their physical bodies. If the huge group of outer disciples does not have enough skills to rank in the inner sect, in order to obtain the protection of Qingyun Sect, they may be there for the rest of their lives. Farming, harvesting rice.
Usually, after the red blood rice with normal development is mature, the whole rice ear is blood red. Although a thin layer of husk is still wrapped around the blood red rice grain, when the warrior picks the rice ear and puts it into the pot If it shakes like that, the shell will turn into dust and disperse with the wind, leaving only the bright blood rice that is as crystal clear and full of color as red coral.
However, the red-blooded rice ears that are now grown in this polluted spiritual field, which have been removed by Lingyu Baisheng soup and grown with Changsheng soup, have become three or four times the size of the previous rice ears. So big.
If I have to describe it, it means that the ear of rice is arm-length, and there are dozens of oval-shaped rice about the size of an adult's little finger hanging on the sturdy grass stem, and this rice has a hard shell on the outside. The variegated colors - no, not all of them are variegated colors, some are really colorful, some are gray, and some are black - all on different rices.
Such an ear of rice looks like a puffed version of a normal ear of rice, but upon closer inspection, it is strange.
Can't help but be surprised.
Gu Zuo looked speechless.
Can these red blood rice still be called red blood rice? Not to mention that the outer shell is too solid, it also creates a deep sense of crisis.
So what Gu Zuo is struggling with now is, what should he do with this red blood rice now
If you just touch it like this, he is worried that something will go wrong. If you don't care about it, curiosity is one aspect, and you can't just leave it like this! If you just destroy it... It's better to figure out what is unknown than to destroy it.
Gu Zuo sighed: "Brother, how about I cut it open with a knife?"
Gongyi Tianheng looked at the red-blooded rice and thoughtfully: "...Alright."
Of course, Gu Zuo and Gongyi Tianheng couldn't do such a thing. Long Er, who was in charge of the field, quickly came over, holding a sharp long knife in his hand.
Gu Zuo threw the ear of rice to the ground and quickly pulled Gongyi Tianheng back. And at this moment, Long Er took the knife down and took advantage of the situation - in an instant, a certain grain of rice on the rice ear - let's put it this way - has been cut in two sections.
In an instant, a colored liquid flowed out from the cut chaff.
- It was a colored millet that was cut before.
Then Gu Zuo smelled a sweet fragrance.
This sweet fragrance quickly diffused into the human body. At the same moment, Gu Zuo felt a bit of dizziness, and the whole body was numb, and the True Qi in his body was draining rapidly!
Not only Gu Zuo, but Gongyi Tianheng and Long Er also felt the same way. Especially Long Er, because his true qi was not as strong as Gongyi Tianheng, after only a few seconds, he felt empty and powerless, and even after all his true qi disappeared, his essence and blood, Still missing!
Gu Zuo was shocked when he saw Long Er's reaction. But the liquid flowing out of the cut millet gave off an odor, and even if he wanted to solve it, he couldn't think of a solution for a while.
On the other hand, Gongyi Tianheng, relying on the strong energy in his body, picked up Gu Zuo, and then pulled Long Er and one by one, and the three quickly retreated. The farther away from the sweet smell, the weaker the fragrance, and the slower the loss of True Qi in the body. Gongyi Tianheng stopped only when it finally faded so that they no longer felt the infuriating qi dissipate.
Gu Zuo breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help gasping: "Then, what is that?!"
Gongyi Tianheng's expression was also a little solemn.
This was a rare miscalculation by Gongyi Tianheng, because he did not expect that the mutated red blood rice would bring such a terrible thing after cutting it open.
It seems to be that it can directly remove the true qi of the martial artist and pharmacist, and even the true qi of the alchemist is not the last... Long Er has already started to lose his blood, and once the martial artist's blood is all lost, waiting for him, it should be It's just a pile of dead bones and dying.
Gu Zuo was also shocked.
Even though he had already started to learn to refine poison, he still did not expect that there would be such a poison in the world.
Yes, it can cause the effect just now. There is no doubt that the red blood rice has mutated into a highly poisonous. Those same colorful millets should be all that kind of venom. Usually the venom is wrapped in the chaff, but once it is cut open, or if it falls off when it matures, it will bring about... I am afraid it will be the end of many martial artists in the radius of the area being poisoned.
Just when he took a deep breath to shock himself, and was thinking about how to solve the trouble, the system actually started to swipe the screen in his mind again, and released a new task.
[Side quest 1: Find the antidote to the colored mutated red blood rice]
[Task props: "The World's Poisons List"]
[Completion method: Unlimited]
[Completion time: within one day]
[Task penalty: deduct a thousand medicinal energy]
This is the first task, followed by the second.
[Side quest II: Find out the efficacy of mutated red blood rice]
[Task props: "The World's Poisons List"]
[Completion method: Unlimited]
[Completion time: within three days]
[Task penalty: deduct a thousand medicinal energy]
Gu Zuo rubbed his forehead, a little troubled.
A thousand medicinal qi is a thousand pots of medicinal herbs or something... What if one can't solve these two problems by accident? Even if you deduct a small amount, if you deduct so much, it will definitely hurt.
Over there, Long Er was already swallowing medicinal pills to replenish qi, blood and true qi. Gongyi Tianheng noticed the difference between Gu Zuo and asked, "Azuo?"
Gu Zuo habitually told his eldest brother about the matter, and said, "The time is too short, the system seems to be a bit strict this time..."
Gongyi Tianheng pondered for a while and replied, "Perhaps it is because the solution of the matter is not difficult, but I hope you can be keen to find clues from the details."
Gu Zuo was stunned for a moment, then began to think.
My eldest brother is right, maybe he was frightened by the terrifying aspects of the colored mutant red blood rice just now, so he ignored it. All things are mutually reinforcing, and it is almost impossible to have no natural enemies. It's like there is often an antidote near a poisonous thing... Yes, near a poisonous thing.
He should be able to think of it right away.
Gu Zuo's line of sight was directed to the piece of red blood rice.
He discovered just now that there is no grass under the red blood rice. If it is said that there is something that grows and suppresses each other, it is either the soil, or it is simply something that grows on the red blood rice plant. In the past, some plant fruits were poisonous, but the leaves or roots were the antidote, and it was not uncommon.
On this red blood rice, there are really three kinds of mutant red blood rice... color, gray, black.
Since color is poison, is there an antidote hidden in gray and black
Gu Zuo made a bold guess, but he had to be careful to verify it.
After listening to Gu Zuo's analysis, Gongyi Tianheng nodded and said, "I'll give it a try."
Gu Zuo suddenly became anxious: "Brother, you—"
Gongyi Tianheng smiled: "I am the most powerful, and the more likely I can withdraw, Azuo, you should know that I am the most suitable candidate."
Of course Gu Zuo knew, but... Knowing is one thing, worrying is another.
Long Er knelt down and asked for orders: "Please go to your subordinates, Young Master Yun, you must not take any risk with your daughter's body."
Gu Zuo frowned.
If you want Long Er to go, if there is an emergency, Long Er may die.
However, Long Er still said: "The subordinates and others follow the son, if all the dangers are borne by the son, what's the use of asking me to wait for the subordinates? Tianlongwei was originally the gun in the hand of the son, the meaning of the son, that is, the point of the spear. .We, the Heavenly Dragon Guard, will die for the son!"
Gu Zuo was shocked.
Does Long Er think so? Although he didn't quite understand the loyalty of the ancients, from the generosity of dying here, he could hear Long Er's determination to die without regrets.
Maybe for Long Er, death doesn't matter, he can't be loyal to his eldest brother, and let his eldest brother take risks is his incompetence
But no matter how loyal Long Er is, the decision made by Gongyi Tianheng does not require doubts from others, and will never be changed by others.
He said: "I know you are loyal, but I am short of manpower now. If you die, you will lose even more to me. If I go now, I will survive ten times more than you. If you want to be loyal to me, you don't need to here and now."
Long Er kowtowed: "Young Master, please be more careful! Master, please don't do any harm!"
He still wanted to replace Gongyi Tianheng, but he knew better that Gongyi Tianheng would do what he said.
Therefore, he can only get up honestly and stand behind.
Gongyi Tianheng waved his hand and smiled at Gu Zuo: "Azuo, I'll go."
Gu Zuo instructed: "If eldest brother feels something is wrong, come back immediately!"
Gongyi Tianheng naturally agreed with a smile.
I saw his figure sway, and he reached the ear of rice that Gu Zuo had placed on the ground before, stretched out his hand, released his energy, and picked it up.
After the colorful millet was cut off earlier, the venom flowed out and the shell had fallen off. Many other millets that were left on the ear of rice were naturally unable to move, but Gongyi Tianheng took out a dagger and swiped it at will, smashing the black one. The millet is cut into two pieces.
In the black millet, black liquid flows out.
The strange thing is that the black liquid that should have made people feel eerie instead exudes a refreshing aroma. Gongyi Tianheng has just smelled the poisonous gas, and the inner Qi is still a bit astringent, but now he is smelling this black After the smell of the liquid, I suddenly felt my body light up, and my whole body felt much more comfortable.
It seems that the liquid in this black millet is really the antidote
So... what about the grey one
Gongyi Tianheng hesitated a little, but then cut the gray one away.
The gray liquid flowing out there also exudes a good smell, which is a bit fresher than the black liquid, but there is no doubt that it is harmless to Gongyi Tianheng.
So, Gongyi Tianheng took a black millet and a gray millet, and then floated back.
Gu Zuo greeted him directly, eagerly: "Brother, how is it? Are you alright?"
Gongyi Tianheng had a gentle expression, and handed the black millet to Long Er: "Cut it open and see." Then he handed the gray one to Gu Zuo, "Azuo, try it."
There were some conjectures in his heart.
Gu Zuo and Long Er had no doubts about Gongyi Tianheng.
They immediately started to cut the two grains of millet separately.
Next, Long Er smelled the smell of black liquid, and Gu Zuo smelled the smell of gray liquid. The discomfort in both of them receded like a tide, and almost immediately, their true qi returned to normal.
Gu Zuo murmured: "Color is poison, the smell of true qi and blood is completely dissolved, and it is extremely violent. It can hurt both martial artists and refining pharmacists. The same black rice heals warriors, and gray heals refining pharmacists..."
This shouldn't be all, but at least he's off to a good start.
At this time, the system prompt flashed by.
[The first side mission has been completed, and the current progress of the second mission is 50%.]
Gu Zuo came back to his senses.
In other words, is there any other use for the color variation red blood rice? Since it is highly poisonous, it must be mainly to cause harm to people...
Gongyi Tianheng heard Gu Zuo's words to himself, turned his head and instructed: "Long Er, go get some fifth-level wild beasts."
Long Erban knelt down: "Yes, son."
After that, he ran his start and left quickly.
Gu Zuo looked at Gongyi Tianheng: "Big Brother suspects that since it can hurt both martial artists and pharmacists, maybe it can also hurt wild beasts?"
Gongyi Tianheng nodded.
Gu Zuoruo understood: "Perhaps, we can start with the strength of its damage. Let's take a look. It has such an immediate effect on people with first-level qi like me. If it is more powerful, what will happen? "
In order to keep his medicinal energy, Gu Zuo handed over the mining of this field to Gongyi Tianheng, and he picked some of the rice ears and got into another pharmacy where he was refining poison.
The time is very tight, and he can ask his eldest brother for materials and other materials. The most urgent task now is to find out what the mutant red blood rice has transformed into!
Things are going well.
Gu Zuo is very good at using the system now. In the process of continuous experimentation, every time he finds a use, he will ask the progress of the system task and gradually improve it. Later, he found out that this poison really has an effect on wild beasts. Any fifth-level wild beast that is contaminated with this poison will immediately lose all counterattack capabilities in just a few seconds, but maybe it is because of the wild beast. Their bodies are far stronger than those of martial artists, they are like being anesthetized, but they will not lose qi and blood, nor will they lose the animal power in their bodies.
This discovery made Gu Zuo almost ecstatic.
If it is used properly, he can make medicinal soup, turn over a lot of wild beasts at once, and transport them back, and sell them for an excellent price!
When Gongyi Tianheng found out, he also supported Gu Zuo even more strongly, and even used some of the last funds to buy a sixth-level wild beast for Gu Zuo to experiment.
As a result, these sixth-level wild beasts can also have the same effect - if there is a difference, it is only the length of the control time!
The mutated colored red blood rice quickly changed from a helpless poison to a treasure that can gather enormous wealth! This is changing so fast, but it is very gratifying.
It's a pity that the seventh-level wild beast has no funds to get it.
Gu Zuo felt very sorry in his heart, but he did not expect that an hour after he sighed, a seventh-level wild beast was sent to him.
When he couldn't believe it, he met Gongyi Tianheng's smiling eyes.
It turns out that the contribution points earned can be exchanged with the sect for the required resources in the trading hall of the sect, not to mention the seventh-level wild beast, even the eighth-level, ninth-level and tenth-level, all of them! Even if needed, there are even spirit-level wild beasts comparable to the Transcendent Realm!
It's just that the exchange of each kind of wild beast requires a lot of contribution points, at least the seventh-level wild beast cost as much as fifty points. If you want to level 8, you have to pay hundreds of points!
But after Gu Zuo's experiments, he found that if the seventh-level wild beast was to be controlled, the toxin would only be able to control it for a few breaths. During this period of time, it was easy to kill it. If it reaches level 8, its usefulness is probably extremely weak.
At this point, the research on wild beasts and poison should also come to an end.
However, the system's task completion rate at this time was only 80%.
Gu Zuo understood that his direction was not wrong, and the rest should be the effect of the poison on the warriors and alchemists. It's just that he can use the wild beasts for direct living experiments, but it is impossible for the people around him to continue to verify the poison - if it is not controlled at all, it may cause the death of those close to him!
For a while, things came to a deadlock.
Gu Zuo was exhausted and didn't know how to complete this task.
Seeing him like this, Gongyi Tianheng stretched out his hand to squeeze his face: "Is Azuo worried?"
Gu Zuo nodded in this pinched posture.
Gongyi Tianheng smiled slightly: "If a pharmacist wants to make progress, it is impossible not to have people who test the medicine. For many poisons, a lot of them can be circulated now, and it is indispensable to inform the victims of them. Azuo, since there is a need , there must be a way to achieve this, since you don’t understand it yourself, why don’t you ask those people who are highly respected and more experienced than you?”
Gu Zuo suddenly returned to his senses: "Elder Huo?"
Gongyi Tianheng had a smile on his lips, and let go of his hand: "Azuo, let's go, and ask Liu Bao to protect you."
Gu Zuoxi smiled, and the smile immediately brightened: "Thank you for reminding me, I'll go now!"
After that, Gu Zuo kept walking, and led Liu Bao to the medicine pavilion quickly.
There, Gu Zuo was lucky and met Elder Huo who was on duty again, and Elder Huo still remembered this young boy who he admired.
Elder Huo asked curiously, "Nephew Gu is so eager, what is there to ask about?"
Gu Zuo said embarrassedly: "The red blood rice I planted has mutated and become a poison. I want to study how poisonous it is, but I can't try it on the people around me, and I don't want to kill innocent people..."
Elder Huo listened and smiled.
I see.
At the same time, his smile towards Gu Zuo became more and more kind.
In the face of things that you are extremely curious about, you can stick to your heart and not indulge your desires... Only such a pharmacist is a real good seedling.
Otherwise, how are they going to support that long study
Therefore, Elder Huo didn't mind reaching out to help Gu Zuo.
