In the early morning, everything was quiet, and a glimmer of light just appeared on the horizon.
Xu's Pharmacy.
At this time, a lot of people had gathered. In addition to the more than thirty apprentices who needed to go into the mountain to practice medicine knowledge, there were also a group of supply teams sent by the pharmacy into the mountain.
When Lin Mo came to the pharmacy, the apprentices were on one side and the supply team was on the other side. The personnel were clearly differentiated.
At the same time, there were about a dozen carriages loaded with bulging supplies parked in the yard. Warehouse workers in twos and threes were checking whether the supplies were sufficient, whether the horses were in good physiological condition, and handing over to the supply team from time to time.
The Xu family has many medicinal fields in Dalong Mountain, and each medicinal field has a special stronghold and base. The task of the supply team is to provide daily maintenance and training supplies for them every month, as well as to rotate and rest related personnel.
This time, Lin Mo and the others rode the supply team's carriage into the mountains together. Otherwise, if they had just gone there on their own with a group of apprentices who had never been to the mountains, even if they had a pharmacist leading the team, they would probably lose a lot of manpower in the end.
Lin Mo came to the side where the apprentices gathered. Today, everyone was well prepared. At the very least, they put on long clothes, long trousers and special leather boots. They more or less brought a few handy things in their hands. Most of them looked excited.
After all, living in the city, they rarely come into contact with the mountains and forests, and the wild places are described by others as being filled with precious natural materials and precious medicines and ferocious mountain beasts and poisons.
Some people found the ginseng king who had been exposed to fire for hundreds of years and obtained abundant martial arts supplies. Some people happened to encounter the beast king in the mountains and took advantage of it. They bathed in the blood of the beast king and laid the foundation of martial arts. Risks and opportunities coexist. They have no yearning, no curiosity.
"Actually, it's not as good as everyone thinks. Otherwise, why would the medicine fields take turns every month and when they go back to the mountains, the pharmacists would be extremely reluctant?" Li Yuanze came to Lin Mo's side at some unknown time and said: He curled his lips and said.
He knew the details. After all, his father was a white-shirted pharmacist who needed to go to the mountains every month. Although his grandfather was old now, he was still at home, giving advice and knowing a lot.
"Isn't there a stronghold base in each medicinal field? There are even hunting teams that conduct irregular patrols. Logically speaking, safety should be greatly guaranteed." Lin Mo clasped his hands on his chest while observing the personnel of the supply team. asked.
Li Yuanze didn't answer immediately, just looked around and shook his head.
"It's not a question of safety. If the base is safe, then it's okay. Although there are on-duty patrols every day, they are all on specific routes. After many inspections, the risk is extremely low. The most important thing is that the living conditions are compared to There are so many differences in the city.”
Eating, drinking, and diarrhea are all problems in the mountains. How is it like in the city? When you are hungry, you go to the streets and there are restaurants and stalls everywhere. Comfortable.
But it's different in the mountains. The stronghold's food plan and supply must be stored for a certain period of time. Hunting and barbecues are allowed in the mountains, but making fires and cooking requires a specific period of time, which is naturally a lot more uncomfortable than in the county.
Lin Mo thought about it and related it to the outdoor video of Mr. Bei he watched in his previous life. It was common for him to be hungry for nine meals in three days. It was understandable when he thought about it. However, the medicine recognition trial only lasted a month, so he could still bear the hardship.
Seeing that Lin Mo didn't ask any more questions, Li Yuan wanted to say something, but turned his head and looked at Lin Mo, who had suddenly grown in size and was now a full head and a half taller than him. He was stunned for a moment and whispered. He said, "You, have you reached Consummation?"
"This is natural." Lin Mo nodded matter-of-factly.
"However, the physical state may cause changes to a warrior's figure, but why is the effect so prominent on you?" Li Yuanze was so shocked that his words were somewhat incoherent.
When he went home last night, relying on the sufficient medicinal effects of the monkey wine, and the fact that his old man specially pointed out the method of Spiritual Monkey Boxing, he accumulated a lot of experience and practiced until midnight, and he finally succeeded.
With his muscles fully strengthened, he is now tall and straight, with electric eyes. He has a new look compared to yesterday, but compared to Lin Mo, he is really nothing to mention.
This size is terrifying just by looking at it, and it gives people a great sense of oppression when they get close.
Although the strength of a warrior cannot be measured by body size alone, this is too strong, and just looking at it makes one unable to fight.
"I don't know. Isn't it ugly? It'll be good if the Bone Refining Realm is perfect. Then I can find a bone-shrinking skill to cover it up. What about this guy Shen Che?" Lin Mo said disapprovingly, and suddenly felt that his ears were clear. It occurred to him that he did not see Shen Che among the apprentices.
"Not really, it actually looks okay," Li Yuanze said, with a hint of envy behind him, "Shen Che is really lucky. Many people have mentioned before that he is talented in pharmaceuticals and pharmacological research. Last night he Thanks to my father's trust, I joined the dean of the School of Pharmacy, so I don't even have to go into the mountains, I can just stay in the library and enjoy my leisure time!"
"Dean of the School of Pharmacy?" Lin Mo asked.
"Yes, that's the dean, the red-robed pharmacist who can really refine medicine and make elixirs. That kid is not very good at martial arts, but he is really not bad at making medicine. In any case, we will have a place to make medicine in the future." Li Yuanze sighed. road.
Lin Mo was also quite envious. He had taken medicine class for a month and he also knew a lot about basic medicine knowledge.
Pharmacists are hard to find, hard to come by, and difficult to achieve. The reason is very simple. The accumulation of knowledge is very demanding. If the amount of knowledge is enough, it also requires a lot of practice in making medicine and alchemy. What is needed later is real talent.
Those with inferior talents can only rely on their experience to make medicinal soups and medicines. For example, the essential oils used by Lin Mo and others in the Tongjin Realm and the muscle-nourishing soup cooked by Lin Yuanshan are all obtained in this way. It is said that they do not have any skills. Content, that’s a bit exaggerated, after all, it’s hard to control the heat;
Those with average talent can try to make some medicinal powders, which requires real talent. Not only does the combination of medicinal materials pay more attention to the monarch, ministers and envoys than the decoction, the order of starting and placing, but also requires a process called Yaohua, which is similar to making rice. The "retention" of the medicine causes most of the medicinal properties of the medicine to be retained;
As for the elixir, it is a potion. The final form of the powder not only retains the medicinal properties to a great extent, but can also be sublimated. High-level warriors generally have no use for powders and can only rely on taking elixirs. Only those with superior talents cannot refine it.
As the saying goes: Put hundreds of medicinal materials in the furnace and burn them under the blazing fire. Unless you wait for real skills, how can you get the treasure elixir in the fire. It can be seen that elixirs are difficult to refine. Like Xu's Pharmacy, there are only a few people who can refine elixirs, and they can be counted with one hand.
If Shen Che can make elixirs independently in the future, I am afraid that his status in the Xu family will not even be lower than that of ordinary martial arts in the Destiny Realm.
"You apprentices are also here to help load the goods. Why are you standing there, being the master?"
Two people came out of the supply team in the distance and shouted to the apprentice next to them. The apprentice was stunned and looked at each other at a loss.
"What are you looking at? Can't you understand the words? Or should I find an eight-carat sedan to carry you over? What the hell!"
"Maybe it's not a toy. After all, he's just a good baby for more than a month, hahaha."
"You're wrong about that. You have to be obedient to be called a good baby."
"Just do whatever you say, isn't that good?"
"Yes, yes, they are all well-behaved babies."
"...."
A lot of cynicism.
The apprentice who was pointed at and scolded lowered his head with an ugly expression and did not dare to respond. He had to close his sleeves and follow the instructions, and went to the warehouse to carry a large bag of supplies and put them on the car.
The warehouseman and the supply team member who were originally responsible for transporting and counting looked at each other and stood aside with their hands behind their hands in tacit understanding, joking with each other, and occasionally saying trash talk.
Then another group of students were called over and then assigned to other places. Finally, they worked together like ants to carry bags of supplies.
"Is this normal?" Lin Mo looked at the supply team members on the opposite side who glanced at him from time to time, feeling a little uncomfortable and asked.
Li Yuanze also frowned and shook his head, "Yes, yes, but it's not unwise to go to this place. Usually there are some unspoken rules in the medicine field."
In any place, the bad habit of old people bullying newcomers is unavoidable. After all, everyone is a newcomer, and those who have been bullied always want to retaliate. This is the bad nature of human beings.
But the departure is approaching, and the pharmacist leading the medicine class and the captain of the supply team have not arrived yet. Do you behave like this openly, are you not afraid of being severely punished?
He also felt something was wrong.
Soon, almost all the apprentices were assigned to carry supplies, leaving only a few like Lin Mo and others who were originally standing in the corner.
At this time, a supply team member who looked like a leader came over holding a riding crop and holding his hands behind his back.
"Over there are the clothes shipped to Dalong Mountain. You two go and load them into the truck." Two people were randomly assigned to work.
In the end, only Lin Mo and Li Yuanze stood there.
"As for you two, go and check the condition of the horses in each truck, and check whether the horse feed is ready."
The man pointed at Li Yuanze again and ordered.
"As for you, your name is Lin Mo, right?" The man's voice became colder. "You are quite strong. If you are strong enough, go and carry the box of medicinal stones onto the carriage."
Li Yuanze, who had walked a few steps, suddenly stopped and looked at the container containing the medicinal stones in the distance.
No different than other supplies, the container containing the medicine stone is extremely heavy. After all, the medicine stone is just farm fertilizer. It is just made by Xu's pharmacist adding some other animal and plant carcasses to make it more effective and compressed. Not to mention that it is a fertilizer. According to common sense, it would take four warehouse workers to lift the large container of medicinal stones.
Looking at the glances from afar, Lin Mo suddenly realized that they were coming towards him.
But for what?
When I thought about it carefully, I immediately thought of the jar of tiger bone wine I talked about last night. The news really spread quickly, and it only took one day.
However, there is no need to pay attention to the courtesy first and then the soldiers. It is really powerful to take the lead and make a show of force.
Lin Mo's face remained calm, he just took two steps towards the man in front of him, walked up to him, lowered his head and looked, and said in a loud voice:
"Senior brother, can I ask your name?"
The man's expression changed, and he suddenly hit the ground with the riding crop in his hand. It made a crisp sound, which directly attracted the attention of everyone present, and said sternly:
"What! Everyone can work, but you are special. You don't have to do it? Do you want to rebel?"
"You asked me my name, my name is Wang Zhuo! What's the matter, what do you want to do?"
As soon as he said this, the supply team members and warehouse workers standing in other places rushed over with their shoulders in their hands, and stood behind the man.
Seeing this, the man became more confident and sneered, "How do you think that you, a lowly person who has never even touched the land, are no longer poor if you move out of the slums? Let me tell you, guys like you will be eaten by dogs everywhere." Shit!".
He naturally knew Lin Mo's background. He was just a piece of trash who had no foundation and only moved out of the slums through his relationships with a few partners.
"Huh? You said he comes from the slums? That's not right. I heard in the slums that the poor can't even afford to eat. How come they are so strong? Where did they get the money?" Someone commented.
"Maybe he earned the money through hard work outside, ha...what do you want to do?"
The triumphant voice suddenly stopped, and he screamed like a duck being grabbed by the throat.
