Beiyin Great Sage

"The red lotus comes to the world to save all sentient beings!"

Under the night, the bonfire was blazing, and the Red Lotus believers in black robes were kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to the figure in the middle.

Different from the propaganda of the imperial court, the Red Lotus Sect is not a sect that only emerged in the past ten years, but has been inherited for at least a hundred years.

There are leaders, saints, and protectors.

There are altar owners, incense owners who are responsible for specific affairs, and even the most basic believers.

There is a strict hierarchy from top to bottom, and their devout beliefs provide an extra-ordinary cohesion than those of Jianghu aristocratic families and martial arts sects.

It is also for this reason that the rise of a sect with such organizational power can bring chaos to a party in a short period of time, and is regarded as a serious problem by the imperial court.

After Ma Gong finished the ritual, he came to the place agreed with his companions.

An hour later.

"Um?"

The appointed time had long passed, and he couldn't help but frown slightly and whispered:

"Did something happen?"

"Brother Ma."

At this time, a person walked over and greeted from a distance:

"Why are you here alone and Brother Chen is not here? I have dozens more goods coming from my place today. Why don't you come with me and take a look?"

"Brother Qian."

Ma Gong bowed his hand to the visitor:

"Congratulations. With this batch of goods, the altar master will definitely give you a reward. I don't know why Brother Chen didn't come. I'll wait a little longer."

"Okay." The visitor nodded:

"Don't forget to go."

Ma Gongying is.

When the other party walked away, his expression suddenly darkened, and he even snorted coldly.

Both were members of the Red Lotus Sect, and each was responsible for different things. He and Chen Hao were doing thankless things, but Qian was different.

Qian You is responsible for human trafficking, and also provides women for the church members to vent their desires.

The so-called goods are newly arrested people.

With money and women, it’s no wonder that the other party has won the trust of the altar leader in the past two years. He obviously joined the religion late and his status is already much higher than him.

"Why!"

With a sigh, Ma Gong suppressed his distracting thoughts and continued to wait.

a long time.

"It seems something really happened!"

Lowering his head, Ma Gong's eyes flashed and he turned towards the shadow in the distance.

…………

"Are you looking for the master of red silk incense?"

An old man held a dry pipe, smoked a cigarette, shook his head and said:

"Danyang's army was ambushed by the imperial army in Cuiyun Valley. They asked our religion for help. The saint led some people to help."

"The Master of Red Thread Incense is also among them."

"In this way..." Ma Gong looked prepared and asked:

"I wonder when the incense master will come back?"

"Maybe." The old man shook his head:

"It can be as short as a month or as long as a year or two. It wouldn't be surprising even if you never come back. After all, it's normal for a person to die in a dangerous battle."

"ah!"

Ma Gong opened his mouth, his face was stiff, and he said dryly:

"Senior is right, but if the incense master comes back and tells her, we may have clues to what she asked us to investigate."

"Yeah?"

The old man exhaled a stream of smoke and said slowly:

"Although I don't know what it is, you'd better confirm it before talking. That girl from Hongxiao has a bad temper. If she is offended."

"hey-hey……"

He hesitated to speak, but it also made Ma Gong thoughtful.

As a person close to the incense owner, Ma Gong is very aware of the temperament of his incense owner. If he does well, he should be punished, but if he does not do well, he will inevitably be punished.

‘But Chen Hao’s strength is no less than mine. If something happens, it will be the same even if I go there. The Xiang Master has a bad temper and no one in the sect is willing to help. ’

'Well……'

‘The guy from the Giant Whale Gang should be able to do it. ’

With his thoughts turning, Ma Gong said goodbye to the old man and headed towards the city.

The top priority now is to find out where exactly what happened to Chen Hao. It won't take long to find the three locations.

"Uh-huh!"

"Swish!"

In the mountain forest, there are lush branches and leaves, and a figure shuttles between them. The complex terrain has little impact on the figure.

There are dead branches blocking the road in front of me and thorns everywhere below, but the figures are running as if the road is smooth.

"Crash..."

The leaves swayed.

Zhou Yi turned over and landed on a piece of bluestone. After scanning his surroundings and confirming that there were no two people nearby, he jumped towards the side rocks.

After a while.

His figure appeared in front of a mountain covered with vines.

After looking at the location, he gently opened the vines, and a dark hole came into view.

"Um."

After confirming once again that it was correct, Zhou Yi took out the fire stick on his body, lit a fire and walked towards the cave. The fire was bright and dim.

Turning a corner, clusters of mountain mushrooms came into view.

If there are mountain people who often pick mushrooms or people from medicine shops who are familiar with medicinal materials present, they will be stunned by the scene in front of them.

Pine mushrooms!

Truffles!

Baitong!

Ganoderma lucidum!

………

The huge cave covers an area of ​​dozens of square meters and is filled with extremely rare mountain mushroom strains and even extremely rare Ganoderma lucidum.

The Ganoderma lucidum grows in the corner of the cave.

quantity,

An astonishing number of hundreds!

Many valuable mountain mushrooms grow in disorder without money.

"Cha..."

Light the torch hanging on the wall, the fire will be strong, and the densely packed and layered mushrooms will come into view, making it even more spectacular.

Not to mention anything else.

Just these mountain mushrooms and Ganoderma lucidum can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver!

this,

This is most of what Zhou Yi has gained in the past two years.

No wonder he was cautious along the way and even made a big circle, lest outsiders know that the scene in front of him was indeed amazing.

"It's really weird."

Squatting down to check the growth of mountain mushrooms, Zhou Yi shook his head gently:

"Obviously the environmental conditions are almost the same, so why do the mushrooms here grow so much faster than those in the other two places?"

Not only fast,

It's developed well enough, surprisingly well.

Since he didn't know the reason, he could only think that this cave had some nutrients grown in the valley, so he was so surprised.

"Then, let's begin!"

After calming down his mind, Zhou Yi took out the copied "Baiweixianfang" and turned to the page where the recipe for fairy mushroom soup was recorded.

"Porcini mushrooms, truffles, oyster mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum..."

"There are also three poisonous mushrooms."

"Black umbrella, ghost tongue mushroom, yellow silk poisonous mushroom!"

"We are missing two types, of which the Ghost Tongue Mushroom is the rarest, but remember that they are available in pharmacies. Adding some when making soup will make the meat cook more easily."

After walking around among the mushrooms, Zhou Yi secretly calculated:

"Making medicinal soup requires an accuracy of two or centimeters. A medicine scale is essential, as well as a stone pot, charcoal, and several auxiliary medicinal materials."

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time."

…………

Fairy mushroom soup comes from a martial arts master.

This man was obsessed with martial arts. In order to break through the realm, he walked alone into the mountains and forests for more than ten years. During this period, he learned to kill tigers and bears, and developed an indestructible body.

In addition to possessing a mind that is beyond ordinary people, he possesses extraordinary martial arts skills, being able to survive such a difficult environment without losing his physical body, and tempering his body to perfection.

Medication assistance is also inevitable.

Although there is no shortage of medicinal materials in the mountains and forests, they are not easy to collect. Instead, there are various mushrooms and game, which are both filling and very common.

This person is not only good at martial arts, but also proficient in medical science.

He actually created his own recipe based on the principle of king and minister assisting each other, called Fairy Mushroom Soup.

This soup can greatly replenish vitality and strengthen the body. The medicinal effect is extremely good, and because it is a soup rather than a medicine, it has almost no drug resistance.

If you take it for a long time, the efficacy of the medicine will not be reduced sharply.

However, this approach also has flaws.

One of,

There are many types of mountain mushrooms, and they are extremely difficult to harvest.

Secondly,

Most of them require fresh mushrooms, but drying some types of mushrooms will affect the efficacy of the medicine. Moreover, since it is a soup rather than a pill, it is almost impossible to preserve it.

also.

Truffles and Ganoderma lucidum are valuable, and the overall cost is several taels of silver per pot of soup.

People who have the money and ability must have other choices. There is no need to choose such troublesome fairy mushroom soup. People who don’t have the ability can’t drink it.

Therefore, since the advent of fairy mushroom soup, very few people have made it.

have,

It is also something some people do casually in their spare time, and it cannot be used as a regular medicine to assist in cultivation.

But these shortcomings are shortcomings in the eyes of others, but to Zhou Yi, they are not troublesome and can almost be regarded as tailor-made.

He also looked at the warrior's ending.

Unfortunately.

After achieving great success, this unnamed warrior died on the spot because he robbed a real 'magic mushroom' from some people.

"Soak the dew in cold water, simmer over high heat, add yellow mushrooms and one or two ganoderma lucidum in the middle of the process, switch from high heat to simmer and continue adding ganoderma lucidum..."

"The aroma has a hint of meat..."

"Um?"

"It seems like it's done?"

After blinking, Zhou Yi looked at the book in his hand and sniffed again, with a little doubt in his eyes.

Even if the fairy mushroom soup is not an elixir, it is still a nourishing recipe. It requires extremely high heat, time, and materials. He has been mentally prepared for the previous failures.

but……

From the smell, it seems that it is exactly as written in the book.

"Try it before you talk!"

There are only three kinds of poisonous mushrooms in small quantities. Even if there is a problem, it will not kill people. They will have diarrhea for a few days at most, which is not dangerous enough to worry about.

After filling a bowl of fresh soup with floating mushrooms and milky white color, Zhou Yi's throat rolled as he smelled the alluring smell and drank it all in one gulp.

As soon as the soup enters the stomach, there is a surge of heat in the intestines and stomach.

The heat was like a furnace, getting hotter and hotter, but in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yi was forced to take off his coat and only wear a short inner lining.

There is a door!

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up.

Dingyang pile!

The proficient Dingyang stake rotated rapidly and began to refine the medicinal power.

Time passes slowly.

Leather Refining (2/100)

Dingyang Stake: Proficient (47/100)

"One experience a day?"

Opening his eyes, Zhou Yi's heart was beating wildly, and then he shook his head slightly:

"No, it's been a while since I advanced to Skin Refining, and I haven't slacked off during this period. I should be able to increase my experience quickly even without the mushroom soup."

"This time the experience value has become two. It should be based on previous accumulation. The true potency needs to be verified."

But even so, it's still awesome.

Especially when the Dingyang pile is used to refine the medicinal power, the body becomes stronger at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye, and it cannot be faked.

A few days later.

Leather Refining (3/100)

"One experience will be gained in three days, skin refining will be completed in three hundred days, and Zang refining will be advanced in less than a year!"

In the cave, Zhou Yi clenched his fists:

"The road can be expected!"

As for the ingredients for mushroom soup...

The art of growing mushrooms is becoming more and more mature, and even in the coldest months of the twelfth lunar month, mushrooms can still be produced in this cave that can be kept warm, and there is no shortage.

at the same time.

Mountain Climbing: Perfection!

There is no experience value after mountain climbing in the perfect state. It should mean that there is no potential for further improvement. Instead, there are two additional remarks:

(Mountain climbing movement speed increases by 5%, and complex mountain terrain weakens physical skills by 5%)
