Back at the base, the two of them counted their harvest.
"Dewy Herb" has 11 plants, Seven-Star Lotus" has 8 plants, Black Deer Fungus" has 9 clusters, and Ring Umbrella Mushroom" has 4 clusters - a total of 87 First Order herbs and 13 second-level herbs, which are worth about 350 gold coins in total." Noah estimated the harvest this time.
Even after deducting the gold coins spent on torches and props consumed during the expedition, there is still a surplus of about 320 gold coins, which is a huge profit.
The reason why they were able to harvest so much this time was that, on the one hand, the two of them did not encounter any Magic Creature on the way, and there were less battles and less medicine consumption. Secondly, Sylutia was there, and her excellent perception prevented the two of them from missing any herbs along the way, making this harvest more than three times that of Noah's previous solo adventure.
In fact, Noah didn't think so much at first. He just didn't want to waste too much time recuperating, so he invited Xilu Tia. But he didn't expect that the benefits of this expedition would be so high.
After the inventory was completed, even though he had calmed down, he was still a little uncontrollably excited.
"I'm really lucky this time, thanks to Hedra."
"Let's go to the Alchemist Guild to deliver the goods first, and then go to dinner together. I'll treat you this time." He said with excitement and decided.
Sylutia nodded, and then the two sent the herbs to the Alchemist Guild. After counting, the pharmacist stationed there gave the two people a reward of 402 gold coins and then explained.
"It is higher than expected because the herbs this time were well preserved. Many of them had their roots, stems and leaves well preserved during picking, so that the medicinal properties were not lost or damaged, and the quality was high."
When picking many herbs, the original intact structure will be destroyed, causing the condensed Aspect Power in them to be damaged and gradually lost. Therefore, the picking technique is also very important. Generally, Emerald Nectar"Aspect Power's Transcendent can observe the "rhythm" spectrum of herbs and can avoid damage very well, but other Aspect Power's Transcendent find it difficult to master this technology.
"That's it." Noah looked at the girl on the side and guessed that she must be a scholar specializing in herbal medicine.
Secret Speech"Aspect Power Transcendent are mostly scholars or Mage, and scholars are subdivided into different fields. He thought this girl should be an apprentice specializing in herbal medicine.
Although there were many errors in the process, the conclusion was not really problematic. Sylutia is indeed proficient in herbal medicine and good at cultivating horticultural plants, and is currently also a scholar.
After it was over, the two came to the tavern again. It was already 8 o'clock in the evening. Noah generously took out 15 gold coins and ordered a luxurious meal that he would not usually order.
Soon, the delicacies ordered by the two people were served, which were Purple Taro Fruit Civet Meat Slices" and Herb-Pan-Fried Large White Fish".
Sylutia looked at the fragrant white fish in front of her. The outside was fried slightly brown, but the inside of the fish was still tender and delicious. Decorated with herbs and sauces, it was very delicious. She skillfully picked up the chopsticks to enjoy it, savoring this rare delicacy.
On the other side, Noah was not very skillful in using his fork to poke the meat slices to taste. He was a little curious to see Sylutia use chopsticks so skillfully.
The use of chopsticks was introduced from distant continents. Fourth Continent people are not unfamiliar with it, but generally few people learn it, because most of the delicacies enjoyed by common people do not require chopsticks. That is, the food of nobles and wealthy families is very delicate, and chopsticks are occasionally used.
It seemed that the other party had a good background, which confirmed his previous conjecture.
After dinner, Noah would like to invite Xilu Tia to continue the adventure.
"Are you free to continue exploring in the next two days, Miss Hedra?"
"I'm afraid not." Sylutia shook his head slightly.
"I have other things to do here, but I just happen to be free today."
"Is that so? That's such a pity." Noah felt regretful. It would be great if he could invite this girl to continue the adventure. Even if he gave her half of the income, it would be worthwhile.
"However, I can give you a simple picking guide, which can help you reduce the damage to the quality of the herbs during picking." Sylutia also saw Noah picking herbs, and the technique really hurt her eyes and she couldn't bear to watch it.
"Tomorrow afternoon, I will come to the tavern and give you the compiled notes." Sylutia thought for a while.
"Thank you." Noah replied gratefully. Through the difference in delivering the herbal medicine today, he also understood that he did have many shortcomings.
After returning, Sylutia went to the cabin he rented at the base. He first took a hot bath and then put on a refreshing nightgown.
Afterwards, she came to the laboratory and took out a few herbs picked today.
Although she paid most of them, Sylutia intercepted a few of them to complete the experiment. She first carefully extracted the juice, then filtered and refined it, and slowly prepared the medicine recorded in the classics.
Under the light, the girl looked serious and meticulous, watching the rolling liquid in the instrument slowly change color, and then slowly adjusted the temperature to stabilize the condensed medicinal properties.
After more than an hour, two light purple potions were prepared. This was a potion she learned from the local Shaman during her previous visit to the Western Mountains, and could be used to enhance the strength of beasts.
[Purple Mustard Blood-Clearing Potion] (Level 2·Excellent); can relieve Blood Mania" symptoms, improve Blood Law"Aspect Power creatures' ability to control their own blood, and reduce the occurrence of inflammation and tumors.
Because Blood Law" is already connected to Distortion" at the source, the more Blood Law" Aspect Power" is, the more likely a creature will develop Blood Mania" symptoms, that is, the growth of flesh and blood in the body is out of control, and complications such as inflammation and tumors may occur.
Compared with beasts, Blood Clan's mental control is much stronger. Coupled with the research and improvement of the Blood Dynasty geniuses of all ages, there are many secret methods that can eliminate Blood Mania or prevent it from happening, but ordinary beasts cannot. They cannot practice Blood Clan's secret methods, and they do not know how to deal with it. They can only act according to instinct, or put themselves into sleep Deceleration The pulse of Blood Law, or swallowing plants containing toxins, suppressing the Blood Mania in the body through self-destruction."
Although Shadow-Walking Beast" currently trained by Sylutia is not Blood Law"Aspect Power, as a beast, the Blood Law"Aspect Power" in its body is still strong, and it has innate abilities related to blood.
After the preparation was completed, the girl picked up the potion, looked at the light carefully, and recalled the refining.
Because it was my first time, I was inevitably a little unskilled. Using second-level quality herbs, I could only make potions with similar ratings.
The quality should be improved next time, Xilu Tia thought to herself after it was over.
She had learned a lot of knowledge and secret techniques related to cultivating war beasts before, and now she can finally put them to some use. She also happened to test it with Shadow-Walking Beast. Through practice, she achieved a balance between the three laws, and simultaneously improved her own ability level.
