My talent is 1.

In Liujia Village, the night was as peaceful as ever.

But things were not peaceful inside the house.

"What's wrong with you today?...Why are you being so vigorous?"... "Ouch...be gentle!"...

While Liu Shikai was working hard, Zhong Wuyai was constantly modifying the effects of the herbs.

【Chuan Dan (Medium Grade)】

Common herbs

Muscle and bone strengthening 0.6

Restores 0.1 HP per second (maximum 5 HP).

Blood circulation 0.8

Wound recovery 0.3

Although it's a common herb, this one is of medium quality.

The fact that it helps with wound healing alone makes it far more valuable than all the herbs combined.

Without a second thought, Zhong Wuyai placed number 1 on wound recovery.

The Sichuan peas were a bit hard and difficult to chew, so Zhong Wuyai used a knife to chop the improved peas into three sections and threw them all into his mouth to chew.

A surge of heat entered my body through my mouth, instantly spreading to every part of my body.

As Zhong Wuyai felt the heat continuously gathering in his chest, he felt much more at ease.

He gulped down a mouthful of water and swallowed the still-unchewed Sichuan pepper with difficulty.

Zhong Wuyai felt an itch in his chest, and even more heat was gathering towards his severed leg...

【1】

Name: Zhong Wuyai (Minor Injury)

Rating: 1

Realm: None

Qi and Blood: 48/100

Physical fitness: 4

Soul: 10

Technique: None

His qi and blood were still gradually increasing, and Zhong Wuyai was overjoyed to see his serious injuries turn into minor ones...

"It works so well, take another piece, and you'll be almost fully recovered..."

Because Zhong Wuyai specifically instructed him to do so, Liu Shikai collected quite a lot of wild vegetables.

Zhong Wuyai picked up another piece, but this time, he didn't chew it directly.

Chop it into small pieces, put it in a bowl, and then pour in water.

Looking at the information above, he continued to focus on wound healing, and poured the medicine and water directly into his mouth.

Two minutes later, Zhong Wuyai moved his body and felt no pain.

However, the panel indicated a slight problem...

The injury hasn't fully healed; does it still require rehabilitation?

No... it's not a problem with the leg injury, it's a problem with the qi and blood. Because the previous injury was quite severe, the qi and blood are deficient.

Even though the injury has healed now, the loss of qi and blood has not yet been replenished.

Zhong Wuyai turned his attention to other herbs.

After searching for a while, a string of small red fruits caught Zhong Wuyai's eye.

Goji berries (lower grade)

Qi and blood recovery 0.01

Essence and Qi increase by 0.03

Muscle and bone strengthening 0.004

Reduced fatigue by 0.002

This is a good thing; we can't waste it.

Zhong Wuyai picked them one by one, and thankfully, he could see the attributes of each one.

It's just that the number is very low.

But it doesn't matter, I'll just change it to 1, and all the points will be 10...

To restore Qi and blood, we need to replenish them first.

Then there's the improvement of vital energy and the strengthening of muscles and bones.

Considering Liu Shikai's appearance just now, Zhong Wuyai only upgraded two.

Allocate the rest to strengthen muscles and bones.

It may not be very useful now, but once you embark on the path of cultivation, even if your physique is not strong, it will allow you to successfully become a body cultivator.

I just don't know when I'll be able to open the Immortal Essence Pearl and start cultivating immortal techniques...

Liu Shikai had no idea how he got through the night; when he woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky…

Turning to look beside him... Liu Shikai froze instantly...

"Oh no...it would be bad if someone saw us!"

Liu Shi, familiar with the route, easily climbed over the backyard wall.

However, rumors had already spread throughout the village...

"You wouldn't believe it, I came home a little late last night and saw Big Stone climbing over the widow's wall again..."

"I have to say, Big Rock may not be good at much else, but I'm really envious of his physique..."

"That widow Li is a pitiful woman. She married into our Liu Family Village only a month ago, and her husband died. She's been alone for years, without even a child. If she could live with Big Stone, it wouldn't be such a bad thing..."

Before Shi Kai even reached the village entrance, he heard all sorts of gossip about himself. Everyone in the village knew, so there was no point in pretending anymore...

That's fine too; it's not bad for me to live with Li Fengling in the future.

In an instant, Liu Shikai remembered why he had come here last night...

"Oh no, it's so late, I wonder if he's eaten yet..."

I only ate one meal yesterday, and I only ate two pieces of rabbit meat... wait...

He had some medicinal pills on him, otherwise he wouldn't have eaten anything all day yesterday, and he didn't seem hungry last night either...

Thinking of this, Liu Shikai felt much more at ease.

But right now we need to get up the mountain.

Liu Shikai was also alarmed when he thought of the epimedium leaf from last night.

I've been eating such a small leaf for more than a day or two, and it has such great effects.

Last night, I was like a wild beast... I still can't get enough of Li Fengling's pleading look...

But Liu Shikai was dumbfounded when he got up the mountain.

This...this can walk now?

Zhong Wuyai has fully recovered, and he feels much stronger than before.

Since the Strength and Muscles stat has already exceeded 10 points, the Strength and Muscles bonus from ordinary herbs has been greatly reduced.

However, due to the modifications, it was still improved by 6 points.

The only thing to consider now is how to open the Immortal Essence Pearl...

"How was it last night?"

"Hey... don't even mention it. Luckily, I gave away quite a bit of the wild game I hunted before, otherwise I wouldn't know what I would have done last night!"

"Hahahaha...~!"

"Um, so you're... completely recovered?"

"Yes, my injury has healed, but I'm not familiar with this place yet, so I plan to stay a few more days. I hope that won't be a problem."

"It's alright, it's alright... I know you're no ordinary person. Being able to stay here is a blessing from your ancestors."

Are we hunting again today?

"Of course, if we don't hunt at this time of year, we won't have enough food for winter."

Let's go together!

Liu Shikai didn't think much of it. With Zhong Wuyai's abilities, his legs would heal overnight after being broken, and ordinary beasts in the mountains couldn't hurt him.

Moreover, with Zhong Wuyai following him, he felt safer.

Shangyuan Mountain is just an ordinary mountain, but perhaps because it has some spiritual energy, the flowers, plants and trees on the mountain grow very well.

Zhong Wuyai discovered many plants with attributes along the way.

Even some large pieces of tree bark have properties.

Zhong Wuyai added attributes while picking the fruit.

Since arriving here, Zhong Wuyai has discovered that there are no longer so many restrictions.

There are no time limits except that each item can only be used once.

That's a good thing.

"Well, it's a bit dangerous up ahead, how about we stop here?"

"Danger?...What danger?"

"There is a pond in front of us, and some strange flowers and plants around it. But there is also a big snake here. The first time I came here, I saw a tiger being swallowed by the snake. Luckily, the tiger was there, and the snake ignored me, so I escaped.

Zhong Wuyai looked around, found a sturdy tree, and climbed up it.

Looking around, one can indeed vaguely see a pool of water.

The water in the pool flows to the side, and further down is a mountain stream. The river in that stream must have originated from here.

Since it's flowing water, there must be a spring underneath.

I didn't see any large snake, but I did see a small tree...

Vermilion Fruit? ...There's Vermilion Fruit here? ...That giant snake is most likely a demon.

Zhong Wuyai frowned slightly.

"Have you ever had any monsters around here before?"

"Yes, there was a fox demon when I was a child who ate more than a dozen people. I was still young then. I heard that the fox demon was killed by a sage in the town, so it has been peaceful for more than ten years."

Zhong Wuyai was about to ask Shi Kai to go to the town and tell him that there was a snake demon there.

But Zhong Wuyai hesitated for a moment. If cultivators saw this, would he still have a share of the Vermilion Fruit? He needed to think things through carefully…

"Could you take me down to the ravine below that pool?"

"Sure, that's where I fetch water, I go there often, but it's easy to run into wolves at night. Right now, there's no danger."

Since the vermilion fruit can grow beside the pool, there might be some high-quality medicinal herbs in the mountain stream.

The two slowly retreated, and soon found their way to the mountain stream...

[Zhelan mushroom (top grade)]

Common poisonous mushrooms

Paralysis 0.04

Toxin 6.5

Virus attack 3.2

Note: Consuming this product may damage the stomach, intestines, liver, and gallbladder.

The jellyfish mushroom is a poisonous mushroom, but it also has medicinal value.

The 3.2 version of the anti-poisoning technology can essentially cure some other poisons.

However, the problem lies in the toxins in the mushroom itself.

A single drop of the toxin can cause someone to fall into a coma or even suffer serious injury; a dose of 6.5 is enough to kill them both with just a lick.

"What do you need this for?... This stuff is poisonous!"

"I know it's poisonous, but it might come in handy if we encounter wild animals."

Liu Shikai didn't say anything more; Zhong Wuyai definitely knew more than him.

Zhong Wuyai's basket was soon full.

However, Zhong Wuyai discovered a cluster of fish eggs in the mountain stream...

Zhong Wuyai pinched a few fish eggs with his hands, scooped them up with his palm, and looked at them.

[Blue carp roe]

Common fish

edible

Spiritual energy 0.05

Satiety level 1.1

Qi and blood recovery 12

Upon seeing the spiritual energy, Zhong Wuyai didn't hesitate. He placed the 1 on the spiritual energy and then swallowed it despite the fishy smell.

"You...you..."

Liu Shikai was a little stunned. What's wrong with this kid? ...He's like a wild man.

Zhong Wuyai didn't speak, but simply added 1 to the fish roe to his satiate portion and handed it to Liu Shikai.

"You'll know once you eat it."

Liu Shikai was reluctant, but thinking about the effect of the leaf last night, he didn't think too much about it.

He took the fish eggs and threw them into his mouth.

"How disgusting! How could you eat that?"

But soon, Liu Shikai froze on the spot...

"What... what's with these fish eggs?... Am I already full?"

"Now you know, but this stuff is useless if you eat too much of it."

Liu Shikai refused to believe it and took a fish egg and ate it... He was so disgusted that he almost vomited.

"It really is true, apart from feeling nauseous, I don't feel anything else."

Zhong Wuyai didn't care about anything else, he separated the fish eggs one by one, and then added spiritual energy to them all.

Soon, the spiritual energy in the vicinity converged here.

At the bottom of the pool, a large snake suddenly opened its eyes.

It sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy and immediately came out of the water.

Feeling the spiritual energy in the mountain stream below, I felt much more at ease.

He glanced at the still-growing vermilion fruit, then at the direction of the mountain stream, as if deep in thought.

However, it did not go to the mountain stream, but instead coiled up under the vermilion fruit to guard it.

A tiger came last time and caused it to lose three fruits, which broke its heart.

This time, no matter what, I won't leave; I plan to stay until the fruit ripens.

Zhong Wuyai and Liu Shikai had no idea that they had just narrowly escaped death.

Zhong Wuyai suddenly felt a sense of panic.

Just to be on the safe side, Zhong Wuyai laid a few leaves on the basket, pressed a groove in the middle, and put all the fish eggs in the groove.

After searching around, Zhong Wuyai couldn't find any other fish eggs.

Perhaps this bluefish came down from the pool and was imbued with some spiritual energy.

However, we cannot stay here for long, as we are in the territory of the snake demon.

Previously, Zhong Wuyai would never have dared to imagine that he would be gathering herbs in the mountains and forests where monsters roam.

However, his experiences in the realm of gods had already honed Zhong Wuyai's mentality to a very high level.

The main god at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm even escaped from the clutches of the creator god's avatar at the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

He's not afraid of mere mortal demons.

It's just that it's relatively weak right now, so we can't attack it directly.

After Zhong Wuyai returned to the hut, he asked Liu Shikai to prepare some food.

He himself kept changing the spiritual energy of the fish eggs.

Change one, then eat one.

Before long, Zhong Wuyai felt a change in his body.

【Zhong Wuyai】

Rating: 1

Realm: None

Qi and Blood: 120/120

Spiritual Power: 6/6

Physical fitness: 5

Soul: 10

Technique: None

Strength: 240 kg

Sensitivity: 3

Muscle and bone strength: 17

Cortical strength: 0.8

Meridians: Blockage

His strength was increased by 40 kilograms, and his Qi and Blood also increased by 20 points.

The extra 6 points of spiritual power don't seem to matter much, but I feel incredibly refreshed and comfortable, a feeling I've never experienced before.

Zhong Wuyai continued eating fish roe, even though he felt like vomiting, he had to endure it.

After all the fish eggs were eaten, Zhong Wuyai's spiritual power reached 16 points, and the warmth released by the Immortal Essence Pearl became even stronger.

Trying to mobilize his spiritual energy, Zhong Wuyai discovered that it was converging towards the Immortal Essence Pearl...

"What's going on?"

Soon, a bead flew out of Zhong Wuyai's body...

"Hmm?...It's usable now?"

But soon, Zhong Wuyai noticed something was wrong.

Although the Immortal Essence Pearl was taken out of my body, I can't open it.

My spiritual power has increased to 6 points.

Damn, how much spiritual power would it take to open the Immortal Essence Pearl...?

Helpless, Zhong Wuyai had no choice but to take back the Immortal Essence Pearl.

There was no hindrance when it was retrieved; with a thought, the Immortal Essence Pearl returned to its body.

But when I tried to take it out again, it wouldn't respond.

"Well, I've wasted 10 points of spiritual energy for nothing."

Zhong Wuyai turned his head and focused his gaze on the basket on his back.

Among the herbs I picked myself, some are for increasing strength, and others are for clearing the meridians. I don't know what effects they will have.

The herbs in the basket have all been enhanced; even if consumed directly without being mixed with other medicines, they are very effective.

After sorting out all the herbs that could clear the meridians and increase strength, Zhong Wuyai began to put them into his mouth one by one.

Some are okay, like eating cabbage; although it's a bit hard to chew raw, you can still manage.

Some are more troublesome...

Foods like Cistanche deserticola and Spatholobus suberectus are difficult to swallow.

Zhong Wuyai had no choice but to use a knife to cut the herbs, even if it meant cutting his throat.

Before long, Zhong Wuyai began to sweat, and some black stuff kept coming out of his pores.

When Zhong Wuyai opened the panel again, he was dumbfounded; the panel was spinning in circles.

"What's going on?...It's been updated?"

Zhong Wuyai was completely convinced by this number 1.

If the panel is lost, it can be rebuilt and updated automatically, without any messy restrictions or requirements.

This cheat code is so useful.

【Cistanche deserticola (medium grade)】

Common medicinal materials

Kidney Qi 0.02

Vital energy 0.03

Increase muscle and bone strength by 0.05

It's not suitable to change his kidney qi and essence now. If problems arise, he won't be able to climb over the wall like a widow.

If Keira and Delilah were here, none of this would have happened...

Zhong Wuyai began to miss the fantasy world.

For this reason, some medicinal herbs were not modified. If someone needs them, selling them can provide a source of start-up capital.

Motherwort (Medium Grade)

Common medicinal materials

Increase lifespan by 10.01 days

Detoxification 0.02

Blood circulation 0.3

Wound recovery 0.02

Zhong Wuyai didn't even need to choose; he simply placed 1 on lifespan when picking the fruit.

Ten days may not seem like much, but over time, it can accumulate to a terrifying number.

Most importantly, motherwort is a common herb that is easy to obtain.

However, Zhong Wuyai only found 3 plants in total.

Take these three motherwort plants out separately and eat them while tidying up the other herbs.

Motherwort should be stored separately, and classified according to wound healing and detoxification.

Many other herbs are also effective for promoting blood circulation, so whenever there is a need for wound healing and detoxification, Zhong Wuyai would prioritize detoxification before wound healing.

After all, Guan Xiangzi isn't protecting us now, and if we get injured or something, this thing could save our lives.

Soon, Zhong Wuyai categorized all the herbs.

Those that increase spiritual energy and lifespan have already been consumed; what's left are those with other effects.

There are three herbs that increase kidney qi and three herbs that increase essence qi.

Then there are many ways to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. You might as well open a clinic in town and treat injuries simply.

Moreover, his own medicinal herbs have a hundredfold or even a thousandfold increase in efficacy, and there is almost no illness that ordinary people cannot cure.

Even if someone is about to die, you can find some things to extend their lifespan for a month or two.

With this ability, even if I don't embark on cultivation in the short term, I'll still have a livelihood.

"The food is ready, but I'm still full, so I won't eat anymore."

"Then why are you doing all this?"

Looking at the three large bowls on the table, all filled with rabbit meat, Zhong Wuyai felt somewhat helpless.

Just a small piece is enough to keep you full.

"It would spoil if left any longer, so I stewed it all at once."

"That's enough."

Zhong Wuyai was too lazy to change it.

I broke off two cloves of garlic, sautéed them, and then crushed them and put them in a bowl.

The rabbit meat hasn't changed; after all, it's not the same kind of rabbit meat as before.

The delicious rabbit meat at 10 o'clock, without any other seasonings, smelled so good that it whetted Zhong Wuyai's appetite.

Liu Shikai's mouth watered as he looked at the rabbit meat, but he was too full to eat any more and could only watch.

"What else did you put in?... Just two cloves of garlic... How can it smell this good?"

"Eat if you want, it's just one piece, it won't make any difference."

"I'd like to, but I really can't eat anymore!"

"Then you just wait and see."

After taking a few bites, Zhong Wuyai started gnawing on the food with his hands.

It smells so good...it tastes so good...If I had this in my past life, I could have made a fortune just by setting up a small stall...

This is absolutely the best-tasting food in the world.

Rabbit meat actually has little nutritional value and cannot replenish what the body lacks.

But since this is the cultivation world, there's no need to worry about nutrition or anything like that; spiritual energy alone can make up for everything.

"We won't go into the mountains tomorrow. Is the town far from here?"

"It's quite far, a four-hour round trip!"

"I want to sell these herbs. Do you know where I can buy them?"

"Sell them? ...These things aren't worth much. Only a few can fetch a little money, not much at all."

Zhong Wuyai thought about it and agreed. In the cultivation world, ordinary herbs and weeds are not much different.

Unless it's some kind of magical herb.

Even if there were truly magical herbs, Zhong Wuyai wouldn't sell them; he would definitely modify them for his own use.

After much thought, Zhong Wuyai came up with a solution: to make pills.

To prevent the inappropriate combination of herbs from becoming poisonous or ineffective.

Zhong Wuyai is a type of herb that is boiled together.

Perhaps due to the improved quality, the herbs simmering in the pot emitted a strong medicinal aroma.

The smell was so strong that the entire courtyard was filled with the scent of medicine.

Every time the pot of medicine was almost empty, Zhong Wuyai would take it out, crush it, and roll it into pills.

Looking at the properties of each pill.

Zhong Wuyai tried it, and the number 1 could actually be added.

Doesn't this mean that we can improve upon the existing foundation?

They are all common herbs, and the maximum improvement is only 10 points.

The pill's attributes are only 4 or 5 points.

But this medicine is also very potent.

Besides preparing a few for his own use, Zhong Wuyai changed the numbers to 31 points, 41 points, and 51 points.

The rest remained untouched.

If pills made from common medicinal herbs have excessively strong medicinal effects, it will arouse suspicion.

On the contrary, these pills with numbers in the name, although very potent, are quite common in the cultivation world. The key point is that, apart from ordinary people, cultivators probably wouldn't even look at these things.

Put the blood-activating herbs in one place, the hemostatic herbs in another, the wound-healing herbs in another, the herbs that enhance vital energy in another, and the herbs that enhance kidney energy in another.

Zhong Wuyai specially made a small wooden box to store the ones that enhance vital energy and kidney energy.

There must be some wealthy people in town. If this thing finds a good buyer, buying a house and a car won't be a problem...

After doing all this, Zhong Wuyai went to sleep.

Can those herbal pills really be sold? Liu Shikai was still somewhat skeptical.

"Hey, Brother Wuya, are you sure anyone's going to buy this?"

"Of course, as long as there is a need, people will definitely buy it. I dare say that, apart from elixirs and such, there is absolutely no medicine in this world that can be made better than mine."

"I'm afraid I'll get beaten to death! ...These herbs are everywhere, you can even find them in haystacks, are they really that effective?"

"Hey?...You forgot about the night before last?"

Liu Shikai thought about it and agreed... Could it be that Zhong Wuyai added some kind of magical herb to the medicine?

If it contains celestial herbs, then these are all incredibly expensive pills.

Liu Shikai didn't think much of it and took Zhong Wuyai to Songhua Town.

Inside a wooden house in Liujia Village, a teenager is sorting through medicinal herbs.

However, his herbs were rather terrifying.

Motherwort

Mid-grade spiritual herbs

Increase lifespan by 3 days

Spiritual power 4

Wound recovery 6

"Getting started is really difficult. A single spirit herb used up all the experience I'd accumulated over half a month. I wonder what the others in Xiao Nuo's divine kingdom are doing right now?"
