Chapter 39: Origin of Orchid Heart Grass
More than a week passed in a flash, June 28th.
Jessica's apartment, fourth floor, in an empty room.
The pungent smell of medicine continued to evaporate, mixing with the surrounding air. In the corner of the room was a pale yellow wooden barrel, which contained boiling hot water and a bag of medicinal materials.
As time went by, the medicine bag continued to release black substances into the hot water, making the entire water darker and turbid.
With a creak, Kaxiu walked in naked.
Although the curtains in this room were closed and the light seemed dim, the bronze and strong body could still be seen.
After taking a slight breath of the pungent smell of medicine, Kaxiu picked up the ointment on the cabinet next to him and smeared a layer of black on his entire face.
Then, the whole person stepped into the wooden barrel. Gradually sitting cross-legged, the part below the neck was all soaked in the medicine.
Only a head covered with ointment was left to breathe the air.
The skin felt hot, and Kaxiu emptied his mind for a while, then he performed the special movements created in the Xiangpo Secret Art to cooperate with the medicinal bath. The sitting method of cross-legged sitting, the curvature of the waist, and the placement of the arms all have quite demanding requirements.
And such movements must be maintained for at least half an hour.
In addition, there is a corresponding breathing method.
"Huhuhuhu... Chi... Huhuhu... Chi... Huhu... Chi..."
The three requirements of special movements, breathing methods, and training potions were all met, and Kaxiu sat cross-legged for only five minutes.
He could vaguely feel that a layer of liquid-like substance on his skin was penetrating into the muscles, followed by a burning sensation and a growing tingling sensation.
It was like someone holding a steel needle and gently piercing your skin in every corner of your body, starting with a tap and then a light poke. This level of stimulation was somewhat stimulating for Kaxiu, but it was not painful. It was probably similar to a needle piercing the surface of the skin, but not going deep inside.
This shows that he still has a long way to go in this aspect of the Elephant Soul Secret Art, and has not yet achieved the goal. The feeling of really finishing the first level of the Elephant Soul Secret Art should be that the body is covered with thousands of thorns.
Kaxiu speculated that the reason for this touch should be that a large amount of medicine penetrated the skin and was absorbed by the muscles.
In other words, the greater the skin irritation, the stronger the touch pain. The higher the level of the Elephant Soul Secret Art, the better the training effect.
Thinking about it this way, the Elephant Soul Secret Art is actually a standard hardship practice. Perseverance and will are the mainstream advantages in this regard. Talent and root bones are important, but not exaggerated to the point of being the only one. A trace of enlightenment rose in Kaxiu's heart.
Half an hour later, the medicine liquid in the wooden barrel had become cold, and the pricking feeling gradually disappeared. Kaxiu finished practicing the secret art and took a quick shower in the bathroom.
Then he poured out the medicine, cleaned the wooden barrel, and put on his clothes.
Next to the living room window, he pulled the curtain aside to let the morning sun shine in, and fresh air rushed in.
Kaxiu glanced at the text logo in the upper right corner.
"Elephant Soul Secret Art: Spikes 32.7% (three layers in total)"
"Wind Elephant Fist: Gale 14.8% (three layers in total)"
The progress is good, the Elephant Soul Secret Art has broken through 30%.
It is understandable that the Wind Elephant Fist is almost there, after all, the best way to practice boxing is actual combat, and there are not so many fighting masters in Baichuan City. If you want to make rapid progress, you have to go back to the era.
"Hmm?"
Kaxiu glanced at the street below the apartment.
A black-painted silver-bottomed car just stopped on the empty space on the side of the road, and a woman with fringe blonde hair walked down. She was holding something in her hand and walked towards Jessica's apartment.
"This is Matthew's car... Is there any news?"
Kaxiu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. That day, he just made two requests with a try-and-see attitude.
Now it seems that there has been a response?
A dozen days ago, Kaxiu asked Matthew to do two favors at the wine table. One of them was the Crown Cross Star Coin. Although each of this kind of obsession antiques provides very little obsession, only about 0.2. But there are traces of the Crown Cross Coin.
And it has been basically confirmed by Kaxiu that any genuine product stained with the blood of the unfortunate emperor who was beheaded contains obsession energy. This is a reliable and traceable source.
As for the second favor that Kaxiu asked Matthew to do.
Two words of herbal medicine, to be more specific: Orchid Heart Grass.
Since he was in the era seventy years after Levi's era, Kaxiu certainly wanted to make full use of this advantage. If the plan goes smoothly, the benefits will be huge.
He naturally set his sights on the precious Orchid Heart Grass.
Seventy years ago, due to the climate, temperature and production environment. There were only two places in the entire Beiliu County that could produce Orchid Heart Grass, and the supply was scarce and only available in the corresponding season.
This also made the training potion of Fengxiangmen very precious.
Ordinary disciples were not qualified to soak once, and even many core members and elders in the sect could only save money.
How could they be like Kaxiu.
Soak once a day, soak a bucket at a time...
"Knock knock knock..."
A knock on the door interrupted Kaxiu's memories.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Levi here?"
"Yes."
Ten minutes later, on the soft sofa near the balcony, Ka Zhengxiu turned his back to the sun, flipping through the documents in his hand.
One bad news, one good news.
Bad news, the Crown Cross Coin has been too unpopular in recent years. It seems that there are not many in major antique shops and antique companies, and it is not easy to find. At least it will take a long time.
If a certain number is found, Ma Xiu will send someone to deliver it.
The other one is good news.
According to Ka Xiu's description, Ma Xiu asked a friend who was in the medicinal materials business. He got the data on the changes in the production areas of orchid grass in Beiliu County and the two nearby counties in the past 70 years.
Fortunately, Ka Xiu found the third orchid grass production area in Beiliu County in this stack of documents! The prosperity time was 65 years ago, and there were already wild orchid grass groups there before artificial planting, but they were not discovered.
This production area is hidden in a remote mountain forest and was found by chance. Since 60 years ago, the orchid grass in this area has occupied the main market due to its large quantity and good quality. Until today, cheap orchid grass is still produced and sold there.
"Huh... I wonder if the whole world at that time can be traced back by going back to the past. If so, then my operation is completely feasible." Kaxiu put the document in his hand on the coffee table. He knew that once he revealed the information about the origin of the orchid grass, the entire Fengxiang Sect's top management would be shocked.
More orchid grass means more training potions, more training potions means faster martial arts progress, and martial arts progress means the prosperity of the sect!
I didn't sleep well last night, I had insomnia, and I was in a daze today.
