Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island
Chapter 565 The Effects of Millet
But these are not the things that Lieshan is concerned with.
His gaze fell on those lines of small print!
That is the medicinal properties and functions of millet that manifested itself after the Yellow Dragon received the merit of the "Ben Cao Jing".
Millet is sweet in taste, neutral in nature, and non-toxic. It mainly replenishes the middle energizer, strengthens muscles and bones, and nourishes qi and blood. Eating it will not make you feel hungry.
You won't feel hungry even after eating for a long time.
These four words struck like a bolt from the blue, resounding through Lieshan's soul.
This is exactly what humanity needs.
In Shouyang Mountain, under Huanglong's supernatural powers, he witnessed far too many of his people starving to death.
But now, this plant that appears in the "Compendium of Materia Medica," called millet, is described as having the four characters "eating it will not make you hungry."
What does this mean?
This means that if humans can obtain this plant and cultivate it on a large scale, they will have another food source, and countless people will no longer starve.
Lieshan's fingers trembled slightly as he eagerly turned the pages, wanting to see if there were any more similar plants described in the "Compendium of Materia Medica".
One page, two pages, three pages...!
He flipped through the extra pages in the entire "Compendium of Materia Medica" again and again.
No.
Apart from millet, there is no other similar plant.
Lieshan suddenly smiled; he knew he had been greedy.
He looked up towards Shouyang Mountain, towards the person he called his senior uncle, who was also the protector of the human race.
Master Huanglong.
The totem of the human race.
Lieshan understood.
The millet described in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" was the guide he took to solve the problem of hunger among humankind.
Lieshan's knees buckled, and he knelt heavily on the ground.
Millet is another great gift from the Yellow Dragon to humankind.
This great gift will relieve the suffering of hunger for humankind and save the lives of countless people.
After bowing three times, Lieshan stood up.
Just as he stood up, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.
The voice seemed to come from the heavens above, yet it also seemed to whisper in his ear:
"Lieshan is a vast and ancient wilderness with a great variety of plants. Don't limit yourself to just one type."
Lieshan shuddered.
It was Huanglong's voice.
"Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor!" Lieshan bowed deeply again towards Shouyang Mountain with great excitement.
He got it.
Huanglong means that "millet" is just the beginning.
The vastness of the primordial world and the abundance of plant species await his discovery, along with many more and better plants suitable for food!
We cannot limit ourselves to millet alone.
Lieshan calmed his excited state of mind, held the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in his arms, and turned to walk deeper into the ancestral land of the human race.
The first thing he needs to do now is not to look for millet, but to meet someone.
The current supreme ruler of humanity.
In the Shouyang Mountains, Huang Long withdrew his gaze, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Duobao stood beside him, looking towards the distant ancestral land of the human race, and said softly, "Junior brother, why don't you just give him the millet seeds directly?"
"If you give it to him, then the credit has nothing to do with Lieshan." Huang Long shook his head!
Duobao paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Millet is a grain that will benefit humanity immensely," Duobao said.
"It's not enough." Huanglong shook his head. "Millet is just the beginning. Humans need more food. Besides, I've only given a direction. To truly find millet, cultivate millet, and promote millet, it still depends on Lieshan himself."
"As for other food, Lieshan will have to find it himself."
Duobao nodded.
Huanglong has already provided guidance; the rest of the journey still needs to be walked by the human race themselves.
In the main hall of the ancestral land of the human race.
Lieshan, holding the "Compendium of Materia Medica," strode into the hall.
Inside the hall, the human race's supreme ruler sat at the head of the table, awaiting Lieshan's arrival.
He naturally saw the vast merit and the extraordinary phenomena in the direction of the temple.
"Lieshan, you finally succeeded?"
Lieshan holds a very special position among the human race.
He is both a descendant of this sovereign and will be the next human emperor.
Lieshan tasted hundreds of herbs and saved millions of people from diseases and pests, which earned him a very high reputation among the human race.
Moreover, the golden light of his aura was so dense that it almost solidified, which was the recognition of his achievements by the human race.
Lieshan did not answer. He walked up to the chieftain, opened the "Compendium of Materia Medica," turned to the page on millet, and presented it with both hands, saying, "Please take a look."
The sovereign looked down in confusion.
On the golden pages of the book, a lifelike illustration of a plant is depicted, accompanied by text detailing its morphological characteristics, growth habits, and uses.
The sovereign's gaze swept over the words and suddenly stopped.
His eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing became rapid.
"Eat...eat and you won't feel hungry?" His voice trembled slightly.
"That's right." Lieshan nodded. "This plant is called millet. Its seeds can strengthen muscles and bones, nourish qi and blood, and make you feel full after eating them."
"This...this is real?" Gong looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"This is an instruction given by the totem ancestor, manifested in the 'Compendium of Materia Medica,' and is recognized by the Heavenly Way, so it must be true," Lieshan said.
Even the powerful figure Gonggong, Ji Xuanyuan, had to take a deep breath and try to calm his turbulent emotions.
He understood what this meant.
If what is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" is true, and if this plant called millet can really be eaten to prevent hunger, it can be cultivated on a large scale.
Then, the hunger problem that has plagued humanity for millions of years will be solved.
"Lieshan, where is this millet?" The sovereign's voice was urgent.
"I don't know." Lieshan shook his head. "The Materia Medica only describes its form and function, but does not specify its exact location. However, I have a faint feeling that I can use to find it."
The sovereign's heart sank for a moment, but quickly rose again.
Having a connection is better than having none.
As long as this millet exists on human land, it will surely be found.
"Lieshan, what do you plan to do?" Ji Li asked.
"I would like to request the Lord to command all human tribes," Lieshan said, "to have all human tribes search with all their might for plants similar to millet. Not only millet, but all plants that are similar to it. As long as the yield of a single plant is large, collect the seeds and send them to the ancestral land."
"In addition, I will personally follow the clues in the 'Compendium of Materia Medica' to find millet."
After hearing this, the sovereign nodded without hesitation.
"I will command all tribes to search together!"
After seeing the imperial edict issued, Lieshan bid farewell to the ruler.
Guided by a faint clue in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", he embarked on a journey to find millet.
The description of millet in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" is very weak, so weak that Lieshan sometimes even doubted whether he was imagining things.
With his peak Taiyi cultivation, his primordial spirit could cover a vast area.
He traversed mountains and rivers, deserts and grasslands, and forests and swamps.
They searched most of the human territory, but still couldn't find it.
But he never gave up.
Moreover, Lieshan believed that Huanglong would not lie to him.
The millet described in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" must have truly existed in the primordial world.
