Chapter 17: Herbs! Lot's of Herbs!
Yang Shi picked up a thing from the basket. It was an odd looking ginseng. It looked withered and had red shade around it. One would think that it was malnourished, but to Yang Shi, This is a treasure. This is a blood ginseng, which tempers the body and blood.
" Uncle Fu, Where did you get this ginseng?" Yang Shi asked Uncle Fu.
" Ah, This? I found it near the mountains. I brought this because it looked odd." Uncle Fu said.
Yang Shi cut open the ginseng and saw the lines in it.
" Holy, It's two hundred and fifty years old."
Back in earth, fifty years old ordinary ginseng was a costly product, and a hundred years old ones are luxury, not to mention, this is a 250-year-old one, top of being a blood ginseng. Yang Shi was elated to find such things. He also found some medicinal fruits and flowers. then he asked," Uncle Fu, I want all of these. What's the price?"
" You want all of these? Thirty silver coins will be ok." Uncle Fu said hesitatingly.
" Thirty silver coins?" Yang Shi's face went odd. Just the ginseng will cost ten gold coins.
" Is it too pricy? We can negotiate." Uncle Fu said hurriedly.
" Ah, No, here, take this." Yang Shi gave Uncle Fu, ten gold coins.
" THIS-THIS....." Uncle Fu suddenly trembled to hold ten gold coins.
" Yes, this the price." Yang Shi said with a smile.
" But....." Uncle Fu was hesitating to receive such amount of money.
" What is for lunch today?" Yang Shi changed the topic.
" Rice and vegetable." Xin Xin said with embarrassment.
Yang Shi gave her a gold coin and said " Buy some meat and keep the change."
" Thank You, Young Master." Xin Xin said happily.
Yang Shi went back to practice [ Flying Feathers ]
After some time, he opened his backpack and took out a thing. It was a meteor, the same meteor from Long clan.
" Aii, little thing. You slaughtered two clans. Just WHAT are you?" Yang Shi carefully looked at the meteor. He could feel something specialty in it,
but couldn't find what.
" Is there something inside it?" Yang Shi tried to use [ Flying Feathers] on the meteor.
*Swish* *Swish*
The tip of the knife broke, yet only a scratch appeared on the rock." Fuck. A knife is gone." Yang Shi cursed. He used his hands and executed [ Ghost Fists]
BAM1 BAM! BAM!
" Ouch. It's so hard." Yang Shi hissed in pain. Still, the meteor was the same as before.
" Hmm, wait, isn't this...Star core metal?!!" Yang Shi's eyes went wide. According to the memory of Samsara, This metal is very rare to find, and its good for making weapons. " Hmm, I think it is more than I think." After playing with it some time, Yang Shi went to practice [ Flying Feathers], till Xin Xin asked him for lunch.
" Hmm, rice and meat with vegetable soup. Good. It's delicious." Yang Shi praised Xin Xin.
" Young Master Yang can eat how much he wants. There is still a lot." Xin Xin said happily. The lunch was simple, but Yang Shi felt home-like, after eating it.
After eating, Yang Shi took rest for some time. While resting, he was constantly thinking about an elixir. This elixir is called [ Mortal Shedding Elixir]. Yang Shi found it in a martial arts book in his memory. This elixir helps a martial artist to train their body and make them stronger. But one needs lots of herbs to make this and, one need to bath in this elixir for three years to achieve the target. In this cultivation world, herbs are not an issue. Here, herbs are even better than the earth. But the thing is, Yang Shi can't wait three years. There are such elixirs in the memory of the Samsara Emperor, which has better efficiency, but those ingredients are hard to find. Yang Shi wanted to combine these two things to make a new elixir.
After taking some rest, Yang Shi headed to the mountain, where Uncle Fu had gotten the blood ginseng. This area of Deep Sky forest is relatively safe, as only some middle rank ferocious beasts roam here. Yang Shi can handle them with his current power. Yang Shi activated [ Wind Parting Footworks] and dashed to the forest. Although Yang Shi has entered [ Spiritual Ascension Realm], he still hasn't learned how to manifest spiritual Qi. Cultivators of [ Spiritual Ascension Realm] can draw their Qi and manifest it outside of their bodies. With this ability, they can perform various magic arts, like throwing a fireball or an icicle. They can use their Qi to control any element of nature. Yang shi couldn't do that, for now.
Yang Shi entered the forest and started to find herbs. " Wow, a hundred year Blue Eyes Flower, Hmm, a Tri Petal Black Hibiscus, Oh, a Twisted Dragon Root." Yang Shi crazily began to collect herbs. All of the herbs are more than a hundred years old, so their medicinal energy is very potent. Yang Shi also wandered around to look for some more aged herbs. Then suddenly a roar sounded.
*AWOOOOOO*
A green-colored wolf suddenly appeared in front of Yang Shi. It looked at Yang Shi' like a prey.
" Heh, Time for some real combat." Yang Shi grinned and dashed at the wolf, and executed [ Ghost Fists]
*BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!*
*Awooooooo*
The wolf howled in pain and clawed the shoulder of Yang Shi. Scatch marks appeared on Yang Shi's shoulder as his sleeves torn.
" You damned wolf, You ruined my new robe!! Die." Yang Shi took out his knife and used [ Flying Feathers]
*SWISH* *SWISH*
As the knife flashed, thin, red marks appeared on the wolf's neck as blood gushed out.
*AWOOOOOOO*
The wolf cried painfully, as it collapsed on the ground. It was a Dark Fur Wolf, a ferocious beast.
" Your fur is good, and your meat is too." Yang Shi carried back the wolf as he spotted something.
" Hmm, I think that's the lair of the wolf." Yang Shi went there, in the hope to find some good things.
" Hey, It's a 500-year-old earthen mushroom and a silver Serpent Grass. Oh my god, I-Its a Crimson Flame fruit." Yang Shi was bewildered to see such rare herbs.
" Huhuhuhuhuhu, Time for experiment."
