After Shi Zhongquan simply bandaged the wound, he said goodbye.
Although he escaped, the matter is not over yet.
The disaster grain they escorted was of great importance. Now that it had been robbed, they had to report it to their superiors as soon as possible.
At the same time, he also wanted to find out the murderer personally and avenge the murdered brothers and sisters.
Seeing him like this, Hou Jiuming did not stop him. After asking about the direction and distance of Luoyue Mountains, he also set off and left.
I heard from Shi Zhongquan that there were not just three men in black, but a large number. Only those who are stupid would stay here.
Don't look at how easily he killed those two men in black.
But it was one-on-one. If dozens of people were attacking together, they would have no choice but to escape.
Instead of running away when the time comes, wouldn't it be better to leave now?
The direction of the road given by Shi Zhongquan was correct.
However, the distance changed from the two days mentioned by Wang Jinzhen to eight days.
After thinking for a while, Hou Jiuming came to his senses.
The two days mentioned by Wang Jinzhen should be a means for the monks to rush on their way.
Otherwise, with the speed at which he was riding, the journey would have taken three days, let alone two days.
"Fortunately, I didn't stupidly go back the way I came. Otherwise, I don't know how many wrong roads I would have walked."
…………
Two days later, at the entrance of Luoyue Town, Hou Jiuming arrived on a tall horse.
Luoyue Town is a town close to the Luoyue Mountains.
The people living there are all medicine farmers and hunters who rely on the mountains to make a living, as well as merchants who recycle medicinal materials and various mountain products.
A main road in the town runs from north to south, with scattered shops on both sides.
The residents of the town take the street as the center and spread out to both sides.
Although Luoyue Town is small in size, its prosperity is almost equivalent to that of a small city.
Inns, teahouses, goulan, Chuguan, everything from small breakfast shops to large restaurants, everything is available.
Here, you can buy anything in the city, and you can also buy things that are not available in the city.
It can be said that it has everything that is available in the city, and it also has everything that is not available in the city.
This is Luoyue Town, known as Xiaoluocheng.
At the entrance of the town, Hou Jiuming disposed of the horses and found an inn to stay in before starting to wander around the town.
This time I came to the Luoyue Mountains. In addition to trying my luck and looking for opportunities, the main purpose was to improve my strength.
And if you want to improve your strength, herbs are indispensable.
Therefore, after leaving the inn, the first destination was the medicine store.
Not long after walking, the signboard of Pingyuan Medicine Store came into view.
When I walked in, except for the counter near the door and the Eight Immortals table next to it for entertaining guests, the rest of the place was filled with medicinal materials.
"Sir, are you buying medicine or selling medicine?" As soon as he entered, a middle-aged man in his forties with a shrewd face greeted him with a bright smile.
After all, he was in rags and he didn't look like a poor man.
"Buy medicine!"
"Okay, please sit down for a moment and give me the prescription. I'll have someone give you the medicine right now."
Hou Jiuming took out a piece of rice paper filled with names of medicinal materials from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper, then walked to the Eight Immortals table.
The shopkeeper acted very quickly. After taking the rice paper, he immediately called a waiter and asked him to grab the medicine according to the instructions above.
In just a moment, several large packages of medicinal materials were delivered to him.
After paying the money, Hou Jiuming went out and entered another medicine store not far away. After buying almost the same amount but different varieties of medicinal materials, he returned to the inn.
During the six months he stayed in Solid Rock City, he knew that cultivating immortals was a high-risk profession.
Therefore, I went to the most famous medical clinic in the city to copy the medical skills.
Now, after deduction, he has reached proficiency in medical skills, which is many times better than that of the famous doctor he copied.
I bought medicine this time just to verify an idea I had.
Back at the inn, I borrowed a casserole and a stove from the boss, distributed the medicinal materials, and began to cook them slowly and vigorously. After a while, the whole inn was filled with a strong medicinal smell.
More than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials were put into the pot one after another, and a bucket of water was boiled until only one bowl was left.
At this time, Hou Jiuming filtered the medicinal residue, leaving only the thick essence liquid.
After it cools down, add the concentrated powder and stir evenly.
The already viscous medicinal liquid directly becomes a solid state after adding powder and stirring.
Hou Jiuming then kneaded these solids into balls the size of soybeans and placed them in a container that had been prepared.
After more than a hundred pills were successfully made, he placed them on the table in the house with great anticipation, went through the final process, and let them dry naturally.
After estimating the cooling speed, it would take about two days, I turned around and continued to buy medicinal materials.
This time, all I bought were some precious medicinal materials from previous years.
Ginseng, Lingzhi, Polygonum multiflorum and other perennial herbs.
As he purchased large quantities of medicinal materials, the gold and silver in his pockets were also spent like water.
In just a few days, all the gold and silver that the immortal woman gave him in return for saving his life were turned into medicinal materials.
…………
On this day, the pill making was completely completed.
Looking at the black pills on the bamboo sieve, Hou Jiuming showed an expectant look on his face.
This pill was something he developed himself after he became proficient in medical skills.
The name is Wuling Pill, and its effect is to increase the speed of Qi training and strengthen Qi and blood.
The actual effect depends on the experimental results.
Hou Jiuming took out a cute snow-white rabbit from a cage on the ground, and then said to it, "Little one, your chance has come!"
As he said that, regardless of the rabbit's frightened expression and struggling movements, he picked up a Wuling Pill and popped it into its mouth.
Because the speed was too fast, the rabbit didn't even react, and the pill entered its belly.
Putting it back into the cage and placing it on the table, Hou Jiuming began a long observation.
At first, there was no reaction, which was normal.
But within an hour, the rabbit in the cage began to become irritable.
He used his long front teeth to chew up the cage.
Not only that, the originally blood-red eyes became even deeper in color, like a ruby, which made people know that the rabbit was about to bite someone at a glance.
This state lasted for a day and a night before it finally stopped.
However, at this time, the rabbit was already dying and was close to death, so no one could give it a knife.
"It seems that the experiment failed."
Without paying attention to the rabbit in the cage, Hou Jiuming began to think about the reasons for his failure.
"The potency of the medicine is too violent, I need to neutralize it..."
Hou Jiuming spent the next time in the cycle of making medicine and testing medicines.
During this period, a vendor selling live rabbits in the town made a fortune, and for this reason he even very ambitiously opened a live animal shop, specializing in selling prey caught from the Luoyue Mountains.
