A fleeting moment...
The snow melts and spring arrives.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed quietly.
E-shaped mountain is a common hill among the many mountains in Nanshan, located on the southwest side of Nanshan Town.
As for the name of this E-shaped mountain, it is quite interesting. Because the mountain is oval and shaped like an egg, it is called E-shaped mountain...
When Chu Mu heard this name for the first time, he couldn't help but curse.
It looks like an egg, so why does it have to be a goose egg?
There are many animals and poultry that lay eggs!
Chicken shaped mountain? Torigatayama? Serpentine?
Chu Mu looked at the oval mountain peak in front of him and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
It was only early in the morning, the morning dew was still there, and the sun was rising. Chu Mu was wearing a green cloth robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, and carrying a bamboo basket on his back. There were also small and exquisite shovels and iron picks tied to both sides of the bamboo basket.
Dressed like this, it is naturally impossible to have a leisurely outing in the mountains.
Chu Mu withdrew his gaze and walked along the mountain path toward the goose-shaped mountain.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the path up the mountain disappeared, leaving only the deep forest.
Chu Mu didn't care at all. This Nanshan Town was a model of vast land and sparsely populated areas. If it weren't for the iron mine, the surrounding dozens of miles would probably be deserted wilderness.
Pulling out his saber and splitting the bushes in front of him with a few knives, Chu Mu groped towards the mountain.
Chu Mu walked slowly and looked around.
After only ten steps into the mountain, Chu Mu shifted his direction, took two steps to the left, squatted down, and looked at a piece of mushroom growing on the rotten wood in front of him, with excitement in his eyes.
"The white-spotted mushroom is a saprophytic plant in late autumn, and it also parasitizes rotten wood. It is highly poisonous and can be used as medicine..."
Looking at the mushrooms in front of him, the corresponding memory instantly appeared in Chu Mu's mind.
Although it was already the fifth time since the beginning of spring that he had gone to the mountains to collect herbs, Chu Mu could not help but feel the indescribable novelty when he saw the vigorously growing medicinal materials.
Chu Mu carefully observed everything in front of him, from the shape of the mushrooms to the growth environment and many other factors, all of which echoed the book knowledge in his mind.
After a long time, Chu Mu suppressed the novelty in his heart, put down the bamboo basket on his back, and took out the small spade and pickaxe.
Although White Spot Mushroom is not a precious medicinal material, the quality of any medicinal material collected is almost directly related to the medicinal properties of the medicinal material.
Chu Mu naturally knew this very well.
Strictly follow what you have learned every day, and handle the medicinal materials in front of you bit by bit, for fear of making any mistakes and damaging the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials.
After gathering a dozen white-spotted mushrooms and putting them into bamboo baskets, Chu Mu stood up and continued walking into the mountains.
Along the way, waving the saber in his hand, he opened up the way forward again and again, and stopped again and again. The bamboo basket behind him also gained a little more weight with each stop.
It was not until noon that Chu Mu had the courage to stop, found a huge rock and sat down, unloaded the bamboo basket, and took out the dry food he had prepared to fill his stomach.
The mountains are cool and cool, with a bit of the chill of late winter that has not dissipated.
Sitting on the boulder, overlooking the mountains, you can see the mountains stretching, and you can even see the small town between the mountains, and the several bare mines, which are even more conspicuous.
Chu Mu took a bite of the steamed bun and while chewing it, his eyes never left the bare mine.
He had been guarding the mine for some time, so it was not difficult for Chu Mu to tell which mine those hundreds of ice sculptures and the man-eating demon cave were in.
For more than a month, Nanshan Town, which has been experiencing turmoil for a long time, has rarely been calm. At least, on the surface, it is calm.
Although he has been on leave at home, Chu Mu has paid close attention to the mine. As far as he knows, under Li Jinghong's order, several batches of inspections have been mobilized into the mountain in more than a month.
However, these several transfers have nothing to do with the local inspections in Nanshan Town. They are all transferred from outside inspections.
As for corvee...
There are thousands of corvees in the mine, and under the current strict management that is almost closed, Chu Mu knows what the scene will be like without even thinking about it.
"Go back and test it out to see if you can continue to take leave..."
Chu Mu secretly thought to himself that his current life, with his salary from the inspection office, doing his own thing, was barely carefree, and it would not be bad if he could continue to maintain it.
He stuffed most of the half-eaten steamed bun into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it. A light curtain panel appeared in his field of vision.
[Name: Chu Mu. 】
[Skill: Basic Sword Skills (First Peep at the Door) 493/500]
[Body Strengthening Technique (43/1000)]
[Spiritual radiance value: 96.9%]
Since the trip to Qili Village, the "spiritual radiance value" fell below the limit of 100 for the first time. In just over a month, Chu Mu almost invested nearly 2,000 "spiritual radiance points" in medical skills.
In exchange, of course, medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds!
More than a month ago, he was just a beginner with a certain understanding of medical skills. If he practiced medicine, it was 100% unavoidable to be a quack doctor who harmed people.
But now, more than a month of hard study has been devoted almost wholeheartedly, coupled with a huge investment in "spiritual radiance value".
According to what Mr. Li said, he now has a way of knowing people and medicines, which can be regarded as a clue. He usually sits in the clinic with Mr. Li, and nine times out of ten, he can make a similar diagnosis.
Even in Nanshan Town, there were rumors that Mingxintang had a new doctor. Many colleagues at the inspection office came to inquire about whether he was going to resign from the inspection office and concentrate on practicing medicine. …
As for his immediate boss, Wu Shuo, if he hadn't been promoted to Baihu and things were too busy, his vacation would have been gone long ago.
Compared with the huge "spiritual value" investment in medical skills, sword skills obviously do not have this kind of treatment.
In fact, after experiencing the resentful soul incident, Chu Mu's enthusiasm for swordsmanship has mostly dissipated.
Daily practice is just a matter of habit. Most of the energy is spent on medical skills and Qi and blood cultivation.
Despite this, his talent in swordsmanship seems to be really good.
After some daily practice for more than a month, I have begun to get a glimpse of the knife skills, and my proficiency is approaching the next stage.
As for the Qi and Blood cultivation of the Body Strengthening Technique...
In the past month and a half, I have never stopped practicing Qi and Blood, and my proficiency has only increased by fifteen points.
Chu Mu originally thought that he was absolutely mentally prepared for the slow pace of qi and blood cultivation, but the slowness of his progress in more than a month of cultivation once again exceeded his imagination.
Judging from this progress, it is only the initial stage of practice. In the initial stage of practice, the progress is already so slow. What about progressing deeper?
Mr. Li's lament that most of his life was wasted in hard work is obviously not an exaggeration at all!
Chu Mu even felt that with such a snail-like progress in cultivation, if he really practiced like this day after day, he might not be able to reach the point of complete Qi and Blood cultivation in this life...
