One Red Blood Grass can be divided into about three uses.

Su Chen had also prepared about three portions of the other medicinal materials, so Su Chen had about three chances to concoct the medicine.

If he didn't succeed, he would have to go out again to buy new medicinal materials.

Soon, Su Chen began to concoct the medicine. This kind of concoction was different from that of the Medical Hall; it was more like refining medicine.

Su Chen needed to boil water while adding the medicinal materials to the boiling water in sequence, paying great attention to timing.

After Su Chen prepared the weight of all the medicinal materials, he divided them into three portions, and then began to concoct the medicine according to the steps on the prescription.

After the water boiled, Su Chen observed and poured various medicinal materials into it in sequence.

After about a quarter of an hour, the kitchen was filled with the smell of medicinal materials, pungent and unpleasant.

Unsurprisingly, Su Chen failed in his first attempt to concoct the medicine.

Looking at the pitch-black soup he had concocted, Su Chen was helpless and had to start again.

The prescription stated that if the concoction was successful, the final soup would be light red in color.

Any other color meant failure. Not only could it not be consumed, but it had to be disposed of cleanly.

After Su Chen poured out the residue and the black soup, he summed up his experience and then began the second round of concoction.

This time, he concocted it more carefully, and his movements became slightly more skilled, no longer as flustered as the first time.

Unfortunately, this time, he still failed, and the soup turned yellow.

"It should be that the Yellow Hemp Grass was added too slowly, so it failed."

Shaking his head slightly, Su Chen sighed, "Only one last chance left."

Su Chen did not immediately carry out the third attempt, but rested for a while, recalling the previous two failures in his mind.

After resting for a while, Su Chen began, his eyes bright: "This time, I feel I can succeed!"

After encouraging himself with a soliloquy, Su Chen carried out the third round of concocting medicine, boiling water, bringing it to a boil, adding the medicine in an orderly manner, observing...

"Okay, my feeling was wrong!"

Looking at the light yellow soup, Su Chen smiled bitterly. The illusion of life was nothing more than this.

"Huh? No, the color seems to have changed."

Suddenly, Su Chen's eyes moved, and he noticed the change in the medicine pot.

Under his gaze, the color of the soup gradually changed from yellow to light red, and finally the color was completely fixed.

Seeing this scene, Su Chen's face lit up, he picked up the medicine pot, looked at the light red color, and tsk tsk said: "One word, perfect!"

After waiting for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Su Chen poured out the soup, which was about one bowl's worth, and then drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking, Su Chen looked at the panel. Under his expectant gaze, he indeed saw the change in the panel:

[Martial Arts: ... Iron Cloth Skill·Remnant 0 times (9.3/10 portions of Qi and Blood Medicine/time)]

As he expected, this prescription could indeed improve Qi and Blood, and the effect of the improvement was not weaker than Hong Ming's Qi Blood Powder.

"Too bad, another bowl and the progress would be full!"

After the surprise, Su Chen felt a little regretful, but soon he didn't care.

Anyway, now he has money and a prescription. Isn't it only a matter of time before he can push the progress forward?

"Tomorrow, when I go to buy medicine tomorrow, I should be able to fill up the progress!"

Su Chen thought to himself. Although he was very excited tonight, he still had to read and study.

The next day.

"I'm really sorry, we don't have any Red Blood Grass in our store."

"I'm very sorry, we don't sell Red Blood Grass here."

"I'm extremely sorry, the Red Blood Grass has already been sold out, and there's no stock yet."

"..."

After Su Chen bought most of the medicinal materials, he heard this bad news.

Just like yesterday, most of the Medical Halls still didn't have Red Blood Grass, which made Su Chen's heart rise slightly.

He came to the Medical Hall where he bought Red Blood Grass last time with some trepidation and asked, "Do you still have Red Blood Grass for sale here?"

"No more."

Sure enough, Su Chen received the disappointing reply.

"When will you have it?" he asked, a little unwilling.

The shop assistant thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure, probably not in the short term."

"Why is that?" Su Chen's expression froze.

"It seems that the Medicine Gang has bought up all the Red Blood Grass on the market and doesn't allow the Medicine Farmers to sell it. The Red Blood Grass sold to the guest yesterday was the last one," the shop assistant replied.

Su Chen's expression changed when he heard this. He took out some loose silver from his pocket and said, "May I ask, where else can I buy Red Blood Grass?"

The shop assistant looked around for a while, then accepted the loose silver and said in a low voice, "If the guest wants to buy Red Blood Grass, he can only try his luck in Medicine Town. I do have a channel here, but..."

"The price is negotiable!" Su Chen knew what the other party meant, so he immediately replied.

The shop assistant shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. Forget it, I'll give the guest the other party's address, but I'm not sure if the other party has it. The guest needs to ask himself to find out."

"Thank you!" Su Chen thanked him.

The shop assistant didn't say much, wrote an address for Su Chen, and Su Chen turned and left after getting the address.

On the way back, he passed by the Martial Hall again.

This time, he learned from Li Mo that Hong Ming had returned. After thinking for a while, Su Chen walked into the Martial Hall.

Seeing that it was Su Chen, Hong Ming was stunned for a moment, and then asked with concern, "Were you injured in the Fang Family's caravan last time?"

Obviously, he had also heard about the attack on the Fang Family's caravan last time.

Su Chen shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, Master, I'm fine."

"Mm." Hong Ming nodded, seeing that Su Chen seemed fine, and then said, "Speak, what's the matter with you looking for me, your master?"

"Uh." These words made Su Chen speechless, as if he only looked for Hong Ming when he had something to do.

Seeing this, Hong Ming glanced at him and snorted softly: "You only visit the San Bao Temple when you have something to do. If there's nothing, why would you come to the Martial Hall to find me?"

Su Chen smiled awkwardly when he heard this. For some reason, he heard a faint resentment in these words, which must be an illusion.

"There is indeed something I want to ask Master." Su Chen said with a smile.

Hong Ming didn't speak, but looked at Su Chen. Su Chen said, "Master, I want to ask about some things about Practice Force."

"Practice Force?" Hong Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Su Chen with some surprise.

Before Hong Ming could speak, Su Chen said, "That's right, this trip with the caravan made me see the power of Practice Force Warriors, so I wanted to ask Master in advance to understand."

Hong Ming nodded thoughtfully after hearing this: "With your aptitude, it's okay to understand in advance, but this level is still very far away from you."

Hearing this, Su Chen smiled: "Not far, maybe I'll reach it in a few years."

"You kid, you don't even look at the occasion when you brag. If you really reach it, your master, I, will probably laugh in my dreams!" Hong Ming joked for once.

Su Chen grinned, noncommittal.

Hong Ming's face straightened, and he said lightly: "Since you want to know, it's okay to tell you. If you want to break through to Practice Force, you need three conditions."
