Chapter 119 Silver Frost Grass

After getting up, washing and having breakfast in the cafeteria, Duan Rong left Yuanshun Escort Agency and went to the herbal medicine shop on West Street.

After digesting and absorbing the Five Tigers and Sheep Swords at the minor success level, he must seize the time and begin to practice the third level of internal energy, striving to further increase his internal energy before escorting the escort!
If he didn't take any medicine to cultivate his inner energy, the speed would be unbearable for him!
Duan Rong arrived at the door of the herbal medicine shop. The door had just been removed and several shop assistants were still yawning!
Duan Rong stepped in and greeted Ma Chuyuan, who was standing behind the counter and looking at the account book.
Duan Rong hadn't been here for a few days. Ma Chu was slightly stunned, then smiled warmly and said, "Master Duan, you came early today!"

"I haven't been here to take care of your business for a few days. What's wrong? Brother Ma, do you miss me?" Duan Rong said with a slick smile.

Ma Chu looked a little embarrassed and said quickly: "We are old customers, we will miss you!"

"The streets have been in turmoil lately, so I've been hiding in the escort agency for a while." Duan Rong said as he took out the prescription Xiao Zongting had written for him from his inner pocket, put it on the counter, and looked at Ma Chu, saying, "Please give me three doses of medicine according to this prescription!"

Ma Chu picked up the prescription, took a look at it, and his heart moved. Ma Chu had worked in this shop for twenty years. He could estimate the price of a prescription at a glance. This prescription was not cheap.

"Master Duan, please wait a moment!" Ma Chu's attitude became obviously much more respectful.

"Not urgent!"

Duan Rong paced in the lobby, looking around...

Ma Chuze started to prescribe medicine for Duan Rong according to the prescription in front of the counter!

He first took out some common herbs from the medicine rack drawer behind the counter and placed them on the counter!

The remaining medicinal ingredients in the prescription were all relatively precious, so Ma Chu took the prescription and went to the warehouse in the back hall!
The inner warehouse is usually managed by the shop owner. He is old and likes quietness. He seldom comes to the front lobby. The management of this place is basically left to Ma Chu.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ma Chu came back with a troubled look on his face, stood behind the counter, and said to Duan Rong: "Master Duan, there is a silver frost grass in this prescription, which is not enough for three doses."

"Not enough for three doses!" Duan Rong was a little surprised and asked, "How many doses is that?"

"Two doses are still enough!" said Ma Chu.

"Then let's get two doses first!" Duan Rong said, "Isn't this Silver Frost Grass a commonly used herb? Is it possible that a big shop like yours would be out of stock sometimes?"

"This silver frost grass is not really a rare medicinal herb, but it is susceptible to moisture and cannot be stored for long. Moreover, it is very expensive! Shops generally don't stock too many of it." Ma Chu explained with a smile.

"When will the new silver frost grass arrive?" Duan Rong asked with some concern.

"Master Duan, don't worry. Even if our store is out of stock, there are still two herbal medicine stores in this county. They are both owned by the Ximen family. We can transfer goods to each other at any time."

Duan Rong felt relieved when he heard this!
However, Xiangu County is indeed located in a remote area, with poor information and scarce resources!

He had only cultivated to the third level of inner energy, and there was already a temporary supply problem with medicinal herbs!

If we go further up, I'm afraid there will be even more problems!
In fact, Duan Rong’s idea was right. After all, there were only a limited number of masters among Xian Guxian, and masters in the realm of true qi were naturally only a handful!

Even for those who have achieved great success in the Inner Breath Realm, there are not many. And the herbs used by these warriors for supplementing their health are too precious and scarce, so most of them need to be reserved in advance!

Thinking of this, Duan Rong felt a little worried again!

What he was worried about was the problem of medicinal materials for practicing the second level of the Taizang Sutra!
After achieving the first level, the practice of the second level will be put on the agenda!

Of course, he is not in a hurry to practice the second level for the time being!

Because his main goal of cultivation now is to achieve the third level of inner breath as soon as possible! Otherwise, if he only has the Taizang Sutra, his mental power will be raised layer by layer, and the weapon spirits he devours are getting higher and higher, but his inner strength cultivation has not kept up, then wouldn’t it be just a show with empty moves?
However, the cultivation of internal energy is a slow and arduous process. Even if he has digested and absorbed the spirit of the weapon, his internal energy will not increase out of thin air. He still has to practice hard on his own!
"But even this Silver Frost Grass is out of stock! Then it would be a pipe dream for him to get the Dragon Flame Fat he needs to practice the second level of the Taizang Sutra in Xiangu County!" Duan Rong thought to himself.

After all, he had seen the name of Silver Frost Grass in miscellaneous books before, but he had never heard of what this Dragon Flame Fat was.
Moreover, Duan Rong always felt that the medicines used in the Taizang Sutra were definitely not ordinary herbs, but at least medicines related to mental power?
As Duan Rong was thinking this, Ximen Kankan’s chubby face flashed through his mind!

Duan Rong's eyes narrowed. It seemed that if he wanted to get the Dragon Flame Fat, he had to start from Ximen Kankan!
If you try to get it on the market, let alone whether you can get it, even if you do, it will be easy to be pursued...

After all, it is a medicine related to the Taizang Sutra!

But Ximen Kankan is different. He can give orders to Lao Qin, who is in charge of purchasing supplies in the Ximen family, to purchase privately!
In this way, you can bypass market tracking!
"The key is whether Ximen Kankan can keep his mouth shut."

Although Ximen Kankan seemed to respect him very much after the incident of the pornographic picture last time, Duan Rong would not easily tell this matter if his safety could not be guaranteed. After all, safety comes first!
Cultivation can wait, but your life is only at stake!

Duan Rong was walking down the street with two doses of medicine in his hands, thinking: "It seems that I have to find a way to further control that kid!"

Duan Rong returned to Yuanshun Escort Agency and first went to the medicine furnace room in the central courtyard to boil a dose of medicine.

Because this third level of internal energy medicine needs to be decocted for two hours to fully extract its medicinal properties, Duan Rong did not wait there, but returned to the cramped dormitory!

Duan Rong decided to use these two hours to practice the bone-shrinking technique!
After all, the escort mission will begin in ten days or so!

And now, the most important things for him to practice are two things: the third level of internal breath and clavicle skills!

Duan Rong practiced bone-shrinking skills for two hours in the cramped dormitory. He stopped when it was time for dinner. His body expanded from a ball of flesh to circles, and his joints made crackling sounds as he gradually returned to his original shape!

Duan Rong wiped his sweat with a towel. There was still a hint of cruelty in his eyes, which was the sequelae of being repeatedly drowned by the tide of pain...

Although the power has been dispersed, my joints and fascia still ache slightly!
Duan Rong gritted his teeth, left the dormitory, went to the cafeteria to eat, and then returned to the medicine furnace room and poured the decocted medicine into his throat!

I don't know what herb was added to the recipe, maybe it was the silver frost grass. When I took a sip of the medicine, it was refreshing and the bitterness was reduced a lot.

After drinking the medicine, Duan Rong rinsed his mouth with clean water, then walked back to the martial arts field, found a corner, and started standing in the Hunyuan Posture!

With the help of the power of devouring weapon spirits, Duan Rong's cultivation method is extraordinary!

He had just started practicing the third level of internal energy, but he had already mastered the operation of the third level of internal energy!
This feeling is like an experienced driver who has been driving for many years going to a driving school to take a driving test.

As soon as Duan Rongfang stood up, the third level of internal energy operation started to work immediately!

However, the way this third level of internal energy circulates still makes Duan Rong slightly surprised!

"The third level's operating method is actually two circuits, intersecting each other and operating at the same time!"

"This is a bit of a test of whether one's thoughts can be used separately!"

"This kind of operation can only be achieved if one's mental strength is strong enough and one's attention is highly focused!"

"If my spiritual power had not broken through to level 2, even if I had digested and absorbed the Five Tigers and Sheep Sabre at the minor success stage, I would not be able to control this kind of internal energy circulation!"

As Duan Rong thought about this, he gained a deeper understanding of the fact that martial arts are centered on mental strength!
