The second type painted by Xu Guangling is a plant that is very similar to its previous life.
In the previous life, this thing was called kudzu root and kudzu vine.
The "nodes" on the branches of the kudzu vine do not belong to the growth characteristics of the kudzu vine itself, but to a kind of parasitic insect that lives in it. It is snow-white and plump, like a newborn silkworm baby, but shorter.
This bug is called the kudzu worm, and it lives by sucking the juice from the kudzu vine.
In fact, there are many bugs like this. For example, those that grow in bamboo are called "bamboo bugs" and those that grow in sugarcane are called "cane bugs."
Those that are not parasitic on plants but grow on seaside beaches are called "sandworms".
In fact, if the conditions are relaxed, cicada larvae "cicada monkeys" and earthworms in ordinary damp soil can all fall into this category.
These are relatively common, but there are hundreds of uncommon ones.
These things may seem to have nothing to do with "cuteness", and even the timid ones may feel wary after looking at them, but quite a few of them actually taste quite good.
Especially those that are parasitic on plants.
These bugs themselves are rich in protein, and because they feed on plant juices from childhood to adulthood, they are also rich in various so-called minerals and vitamins. In a sense, they can be considered to span the two major systems of animals and plants.
.
So there is no need for any combination or all kinds of messy seasonings. Just clean it, fry it in a pan, sprinkle some salt, and it will be delicious.
Even soy sauce, MSG, etc. are superfluous and completely unnecessary.
Of course, they are delicious, but they are absolute pests to the plants themselves. They not only suck the sap and cause nutritional deficiencies during the growth of the plants themselves, but also damage the structure of the plant roots or stems.
"This is the white melon vine. There are white melons growing on the roots at the bottom of the vine. It is a good thing and can be used to prepare Qi Ningqi pills."
For the one painted by Xu Guangling, Gan Cong's introduction is not as simple as the first one, only giving the name of the herb.
"Qi-condensing pills?" Xu Guangling asked, "Is it something to eat? Can you condense Qi by eating that thing?"
Gan Congshi just wanted to blow his beard and stare.
What's going on with this little doll?
How could he make something that was so remarkable suddenly become so... so ordinary when he said it?
Simply poisonous!
"No! But taking Qi Ning Pills every day is very beneficial to your cultivation!"
"Just like you little kid, after you start practicing, if it normally takes twenty years to achieve great success in condensing qi, if you take one Qi Condensing Pill every day, it will only take about 17 or 18 years to achieve great qi condensation!"
Gan Congshi introduced patiently.
For some reason, although this little guy would "choke" him from time to time, now, after spending a long time together, he actually found this little guy very pleasing to his eyes.
Even if I only draw two kinds.
but……
But he already wants to take this little guy as his disciple!
The introduction of this second herb is actually a hint of guidance and teaching.
"Eating one pill a day for seventeen or eight years can shorten the cultivation time by two or three years? What a hassle! It's not worth it!" Xu Guangling said.
you……
Gan Congshi wanted to hit someone.
But this little kid is so powerful that he really can't beat him.
At least for the time being, I can't beat him.
If I accept him as a disciple, then it will be fine if I beat him from now on, right?
Gan Cong Shi's teeth were itching, but a certain thought became more obvious.
Several colors of pens were alternately rotated, and soon another plant appeared on the paper.
This is a plant that looks like a small banana in shape. Its leaves are very special, like the palm of a human hand, but when counted, there are eight fingers.
Gan Cong Shi is also introduced like this:
"Child, look at this leaf, does it look like a human hand? Count again, how many fingers does it have?"
"Eight."
"That's right! My dear, you have observed it very carefully, so the name of this herb is very simple, it is called 'Eight Claw', also called 'Eight Claw Tree'."
"Then what's the use of it? Senior Gan, can this also be used to prepare pills for cultivation, Qi Ningqi Pills?" Xu Guangling asked.
In fact, most of the medicinal effects of anything with large leaves, whether it is grass, vine, or tree, are harmonious rather than nourishing.
In his previous life, Mr. Zhang gave Xu Guangling a class. When teaching medicine, he talked about the "Nine Methods of Identification" of herbal medicine.
One way is to observe the size of leaves.
With one method alone, the accuracy rate is only above 50%. If the two methods are combined, the accuracy can be roughly positioned at above 80%.
And if the three methods intersect, it can basically be determined.
"The bigger the leaf, the less valuable it is."
"Just like small-leaf red sandalwood and large-leaf red sandalwood. I would say, even if you don't know what red sandalwood is, just by hearing these two names, you should know that small-leaf red sandalwood is better than big-leaf red sandalwood."
"Seventy-eight times out of ten, this is the case."
In the previous life, Mr. Zhang said this in the study.
In this life, in the thatched cottage, Gan Congshi shook his head, "No, no, no, no! Baby, this thing cannot be used with Qi Ning Pills. On the contrary, it will make people loose Qi and reverse Qi!"
"If you take one pill like this a day, let alone twenty years to condense Qi, even if it takes thirty years, it's hard to say whether you will be able to condense Qi!"
Xu Guangling wrote "Eight Claws" on the paper of this painting, then put an "x" behind it, and after the cross he wrote "bad thing" and added a heavy exclamation mark.
Gan Congshi laughed when he saw it, "Yes, bad things, we don't care about them!"
There are already three types!
Baby, don’t you want to learn medicine?
Starting today, let’s study hard, okay? Little guy, the person standing in front of you is the Master of the Medicine Hall!
Do you know what this identity represents?
I don’t know much about the little kid’s family, so how can I get you to take the initiative to become a disciple? You can’t let me mention it to you, right?
Gan Congshi stood at the table with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face.
When Xu Guangling successfully drew the fourth herb, the smile on his face became even brighter.
When Xu Guangling still drew the fifth medicinal herb without any doubts, he stroked his long beard with his hands like a willing hand, no, short beard, and a sense of pleasure arose in his heart out of thin air, as if he was in a happy hall.
There was obviously no wind in the thatched house, but it seemed as if the wind was coming from all directions.
Breeze!
Zephyr!
The kind that's so refreshing.
Baby, now that you have fallen into my hands, you can never run away again! - Come and be my disciple!
Xu Guangling drew the sixth and seventh medicinal herbs.
The branches and leaves are specific and the characteristics are detailed.
Just like the previous one, two, three, four and five types.
The smile on Gan Congshi's face has turned into a look of unabashed admiration.
Xu Guangling drew the eighth and ninth medicinal herbs.
Gan Congshi's eyes widened a bit.
Xu Guangling drew the tenth medicinal herb.
There was still no hesitation, and I still drew in one breath.
"Even if I try my best to refuse, invite, beg, and let Old Xu show my face, I still have to let you be my disciple!"
Gan Congshi said in his heart.
Xu Guangling drew eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen and twenty kinds of herbs.
Gancong style: "..."
Okay, the planned task has been initially achieved.
