"Physique increased by 20 points, strength increased by 15 points, and agility increased by 12 points. Sure enough, the internal organs are the foundation, and the four attributes of internal organ refining have the highest value."
Yu Guihai said clearly in his heart.
Moreover, he could feel that the internal organs in his stomach had been greatly strengthened, and the most obvious change was the enhancement of function and increase in strength.
Strength represents the degree of resistance of the internal organs to attacks. Before the improvement, he did not dare to rub his stomach easily, fearing that excessive force would cause the internal organs to rupture. Now he tried it and rubbed his stomach with 70% to 80% of his strength, and his internal organs did not feel anything.
In addition to the body protection, he will not be afraid of being injured by the enemy in the future.
As for the functional changes, the heart and lungs are more obvious. The blood circulation is much stronger than before, which shows that the heart has been strengthened.
The changes in the lungs can be seen from breathing. He took a breath like a bellows, and a small whirlwind formed outside the mouth and nose. He opened his mouth and sprayed, and a stream of white gas pierced through a distance of several meters like a sharp arrow before disintegrating.
The enhancement of the functions of the five internal organs will promote the body's digestion and absorption of more subtle effects, stimulate the blood and qi to better nourish the whole body, and will subtly drive the improvement of various parts of the body in the future.
"Mother, I want to learn the art of preparing medicinal food."
Yu Guihai put down the wooden basin, wiped his mouth, and said to his mother who was watching him eat with a loving face.
"Why did you think of learning this? Medicinal diet is not difficult. Just follow the recipe." Zhao Yun said.
"I took Peiyuan Dan and broke through!" Yu Guihai clenched his fist, and his whole body suddenly burst into a thunderous crisp sound. This is the situation after refining bones.
"This is great!" Zhao Yun said in surprise.
"I am very interested in Peiyuan Dan, but the art of alchemy is said to be a method of immortals. I can't learn it, so I want to try the art of medicinal diet first, so as to understand the pharmacology of medicinal materials and lay a foundation." Yu Guihai explained.
He did not lie. He was really interested in the art of alchemy, but he also had a small purpose, which was to take the opportunity to enrich himself and use the opportunity of learning to prepare medicinal diet for breaking through marrow refining.
In addition, in the future, he would not need to rely on others to improve the Eight Gates Vajra Body and the Fiery Power, so as not to be exposed.
After all, his mother would not allow him to practice multiple body-building exercises, especially those that conflicted with each other.
"It's not difficult for you to learn to make simple medicinal food, but if you want to master pharmacology and medical theory, it will be difficult. You need to read and recite a lot of medical books and study hard to achieve success." Zhao Yun reminded.
"It's okay, mother, I'm ready. I plan to learn to make medicinal food first and refine medicinal food according to the formula. At the same time, I will also learn the theory of medicine." Yu Guihai nodded and replied.
His main purpose is to obtain the medicinal food needed for cultivation. Of course, he can't start from the basics, but must learn medicinal food first.
"That's fine. I'll tell Chunlan to bring you basic medical books later. You should read them carefully. If you don't understand, come and ask me. As for medicinal food, you need it for your own cultivation, so you can make it yourself in the future. I'm relieved and don't have to serve you three meals a day." Zhao Yun smiled.
"Thank you, mother."
Zhao Yun quickly sent people to send basic medical books, mainly two, "Medical Classics" and "Compendium of Materia Medica".
"Medical Classics" mainly explains the medical mechanism, yin and yang, five elements, five internal organs, typhoid fever and plague, etc., which is very similar to traditional Chinese medicine in the previous life.
The Materia Medica records many medicinal materials in this world, including their identification, efficacy, corresponding formulas, etc.
Yu Guihai put the two books away, ready to study them carefully in his spare time, and then he took Chunlan to make medicinal food.
When he came to the family warehouse, Yu Guihai looked through them and frowned slightly. There were many medicinal materials here, including some high-quality medicines of old age.
But there were no good medicines of old age for calming the mind and replenishing the spirit. All the ones here are of low age, and the effect may not be good.
"Chunlan, why are there no good medicines of old age for calming the mind and replenishing the spirit here?" Yu Guihai asked with a frown.
"Master, this is all. I heard from my wife that medicines for calming the mind and replenishing the spirit are very precious, and it is difficult to get high-year medicines. Generally, warriors use such medicinal materials for marrow refining medicinal food." Chunlan answered with a lowered eyebrow.
"Oh!"
Yu Guihai frowned. He originally planned to directly select a large number of high-year medicines for calming the mind and replenishing the spirit to configure medicinal food, and directly upgrade it to the marrow refining level, but he did not expect to encounter this situation.
However, he thought about it for a while and had an idea.
Good medicines of high age are not magical medicines. There is no transformation. They are just better in efficacy than those of low age medicines. If the quantity of low age medicines is increased, they can completely achieve the efficacy of good medicines of high age.
Quality is not enough, quantity makes up for it!
"Give me all these calming and nourishing medicines." Yu Guihai pointed to a medicinal material and said.
Chunlan was shocked to see that there were ten times as many medicinal materials as the recipe said. She tried to persuade him: "Master, this medicine is very expensive. Why do you take so many? Madam will blame you. If you want to practice medicinal diet, you should start with simple basic medicinal diet."
"Don't worry about it. I have my own use. Bring it to me. Also, give me ten portions of the animal brain, spinal cord and bone marrow."
Yu Guihai took a tough attitude and ordered Chunlan to take a large amount of medicinal materials, all of which were marrow-refining medicinal diet materials, enough for ten portions.
Chunlan had no choice but to obey.
When he arrived in the kitchen, Yu Guihai found the problem. There were so many medicinal materials, enough for a cart, that they could not be put into the pot at all and could not be boiled.
"By the way, in the past, Chinese medicine factories would extract a large amount of medicinal materials into extracts to reduce the volume and concentrate them into tablets or oral liquids. I can also use this method. First, extract the extracts from the medicinal materials one by one, and then use the extracts to refine medicinal diet."
Yu Guihai quickly found a way and arranged for Chunlan to boil the medicine.
However, the pot was too small, so it could only be boiled in several portions. Seeing that it was getting late today, it was impossible to complete the preparation of the medicinal food today.
Yu Guihai was not discouraged and decided to boil it overnight.
He ordered: "Chunlan, boil the pot overnight today, and make sure to boil these medicinal materials for me."
"I obey your order!" Chunlan replied depressedly.
Soon, Zhao Yun came after hearing the news.
"Why is mother here?" Yu Guihai greeted her with a dark face.
"If I don't come again, you will lose all the family wealth. Tell me, why do you boil so many precious medicinal materials for calming the mind and replenishing the spirit?" Zhao Yun wiped the black ash on her son's face with heartache, and scolded.
"I also came up with this idea from reading a book," Yu Guihai smiled proudly, and then said the idea of replacing quality with quantity.
Zhao Yun thought it made sense after hearing it, so she let her son do it.
Chunlan, who was about to complain, sighed inwardly when she saw this: "Forget it! The love between mother and son is deep, and as a servant, I'd better hold on to the young master's thigh tightly."
