Two Boxes of Medicinal Herbs!

When people first saw Yurouzi, the first thing they'd remember would definitely be her long legs. But after spending some time with her, the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of her is her shy, blushing smile, which is incredibly cute.

At this moment, Tu Bo and two other male students stood up and quickly walked over to Shuhang, asking, "Shuhang, what's up?"

They were Shuhang's three roommates. Seeing a big, dark guy looking for Shuhang, they were a little worried and a little curious.

"It's nothing, just a delivery guy. I have two packages coming, and I need to sign for them," Shuhang said with a smile. He then turned back to Sima Jiang and asked, "Little Jiang, hello. Where are the boxes?"

Little Jiang... The corner of the suit man's mouth twitched. How many years had it been since anyone dared to call him that? He never expected to hear it again, and from a young man's mouth, no less.

But he still smiled broadly, "They've already been placed at your dorm door, just waiting for you to come and inspect them."

"Shall we go then? It's a good thing I have a fifteen-minute break after class," Song Shuhang said.

Sima Jiang laughed heartily, "I was waiting for you to say that!"

The second floor of the male dormitory, outside Shuhang's dorm room.

Four men in black suits stood guard over two boxes, each 80x80 in size, with stern expressions.

Shuhang was a little taken aback, "Is Fengshou Express's service always this good?"

If your service is this good, how are other delivery services supposed to survive?

"Haha, our service has always been excellent. But the customer who sent this is quite special, so the service is even better," Sima Jiang said with a hearty laugh.

"Thank you for your hard work," Song Shuhang nodded and walked up to the two large boxes, looking at the shipping labels.

Indeed, the sender's name was written as 'Yurouzi'. However, the sender's address and other details were all blank.

These two boxes should be the raw materials Yurouzi promised him for refining the 'simplified Body Tempering Liquid'.

"Do you need to open them to check?" Sima Jiang asked politely.

In reality, there was no need to open them. Sima Jiang wouldn't dare to open these two large boxes even if they could fit two dragon hearts and tiger gallbladders.

"Ah, no need. If there are any issues, I can contact you directly," Song Shuhang waved the business card he held.

"Of course. If everything is in order, please sign here, classmate Shuhang," Sima Jiang said with a smile, his favorable impression of Song Shuhang soaring.

"Mm." Song Shuhang reached out and quickly signed his name.

"Then goodbye, classmate Shuhang. Wishing you a pleasant day," Sima Jiang waved, and turned to leave with the four men in black.

Shuhang felt that these five guys didn't look like deliverymen at all; they were all cool to an inhuman degree.

Song Shuhang opened the door, "Oh no, I forgot to ask them to help me move these two boxes in. I hope they aren't heavy?"

He had a strong impression of Yurouzi's large box and was worried these two boxes might weigh a ton.

He picked up the two large boxes. Good, they weren't heavy.

He carried them one by one back to his bed in the dorm.

Closing the door, Song Shuhang couldn't wait to open the cardboard boxes. Inside the cardboard boxes were exquisite wooden boxes. Each large cardboard box contained four layers, with four small wooden boxes per layer. The two boxes contained a total of thirty-two small wooden boxes.

He carefully opened a small wooden box and saw over forty kinds of medicinal herbs neatly arranged inside.

There were some he recognized, like Ginseng, Goji Berry, Yangqi Stone, and Daughter Fragrance;

And then there were herbs he had never seen before, but just smelling them made him feel refreshed and his body seemed to be cleansed by the medicinal fragrance. These must be the mystical herbs like Fresh Overlord Branch and slices of Nine Yang Red Flame Bamboo.

Looking at these two boxes of medicinal herbs, Song Shuhang was a bit dazed...

Among the two large boxes of medicinal herbs, not to mention anything else, just picking out all the sliced Ginseng would be a considerable fortune. And the Morning Dew Mysterious Grass, Overlord Branch, Nine Yang Red Flame Bamboo, and other ingredients were likely hundreds of times more valuable than Ginseng.

But value wasn't the reason Song Shuhang was dazed.

He now had only one thought: Are these the medicinal ingredients for the 'simplified Body Tempering Liquid Pill' recipe?

Could these medicinal ingredients, combined with the method described by the Pharmacist in the No. 1 Group of the Nine Provinces, be used to refine a simplified Body Tempering Liquid by simmering it in a large pot and carefully controlling the heat?

What effects would the Body Tempering Liquid have? Could it truly transform one's body as described in various Xianxia novels?

"Perhaps, with these medicinal herbs and the Elixir Recipe from the 'Pharmacist', I can determine if cultivation truly exists!"

A thought emerged in Song Shuhang's mind. Once this thought arose, it was like a prairie fire, making him restless and unable to extinguish it.

Song Shuhang considered himself not to be stubborn. If the Body Tempering Liquid truly possessed the legendary magical effects, then he would believe in the existence of cultivation.

And after confirming the existence of cultivation, what should he do?

"I don't have classes this afternoon. There are forty-five kinds of medicinal herbs in total. If each takes about five minutes, it would take about three to four hours. An entire afternoon, I can try!"

Song Shuhang was someone who acted on his decisions. Since he had made up his mind, he would carry out what he intended to do!

"If I'm going to refine the elixir, first I'll need a... alchemy furnace?"

Alchemy furnaces are definitely not sold in regular markets. Perhaps they could be found on Taobao, but any that could be bought would definitely be toys.

So if he was going to refine Body Tempering Liquid this afternoon, it would be unrealistic to find an alchemy furnace. He would have to find a substitute.

Song Shuhang went to the small kitchen to search.

Soon, he found something that could simmer medicinal herbs... a hot pot basin.

But the thought flashed and he immediately dismissed it: "No way, this thing is too different from an alchemy furnace."

He hadn't seen an alchemy furnace before, nor did he know if it was similar to the pill furnaces depicted in movies. Regardless, it should still be some kind of furnace, and a hot pot was far too different.

Setting the hot pot down, Shuhang continued searching the small kitchen.

Half a day later, he found nothing.

Rice cooker, electric kettle, frying pan, pressure cooker – none of them could substitute for an alchemy furnace.

Although the pressure cooker looked sturdy, it was designed for high-pressure steaming and couldn't be opened during use. However, refining the Body Tempering Liquid required adding the next medicinal ingredient every five minutes.

This meant that after much deliberation, the only somewhat suitable option was this – Song Shuhang stared helplessly at the hot pot.

"Well, it's just for simmering anyway, maybe I can try it?" He pinched his chin. He had thirty-two portions of ingredients, so even one failure was acceptable!

He just felt it would be a bit too wasteful, as these medicinal ingredients seemed quite valuable?

"I'll try it. If I don't try, I'll never succeed. If I try, even if I fail, I can consider it gaining experience." Song Shuhang made up his mind.

He'd give it a shot that afternoon!

He hoped his roommates wouldn't mind him tinkering in the kitchen then, or perhaps he should find a place outside to try it quietly?

However, before that, he still had to go back and finish his last class of the morning.

Shuhang opened his storage locker and carefully placed the two large boxes of alchemy materials, one by one, inside.

The school-issued storage locker was just the right size. After he emptied out all his personal belongings, the alchemy materials fit perfectly.

"Great, otherwise I really wouldn't know where to hide all this stuff," Song Shuhang thought to himself.
