Chapter 179: Unknown Surroundings (2/2)
A gentle warmth entered her and began to nurture her internal body, that energy showed her the extent of the damage caused from tangling with beasts way above her strength. The flesh was riddled with tiny rips, her meridians were slightly cracked with some looking as if they could rupture. Small injuries that were difficult to detect slowly mended and returned to a perfect condition.
Crossing her legs and meditating, Ming Yue basked in the milky bath for half a day before getting out. It wasn't until she got out of the bath that she felt the effects of that bath. She felt refreshed and energetic, any aches and pains that she had previously were dealt with.
She clenched her hands and began to toss out some casual swings before smiling.
”Good”, she smiled and sheathed her sword.
Staring at the mansion, she turned away and walked back inside the cottage. She examined the insides before going back to the desk ad picking up one of the books.
”Research Notes: 86th Edition...”
She read out the title before skimming through the book. After that, she looked at the other books on the desk before moving on to the shelves. While each one was slightly different from the others, she found that they were all essentially the same. Journals filled with the accounts of medicinal research, particularly, they spoke about breeding and caring for plants.
From the 1st edition to the 96th, the latest one she could find, they all talked about different techniques and even something such as crossbreeding, to mix several plants to together in order to achieve a more potent species.
”...you must bind the roots together...”
”...cutting into the main stem diagonally, not deeply but halfway in...”
”...using the scraps of fruits and vegetables seems to more provide food and energy, boosting growth...”
”....after a hundred tries, I've found that combining two different plants can create a single one that has both effects, that is if the process is done correctly...”
”...mixing the same herb at different ages seems to have little effect on its growth...”
”...the ratio doesn't seem correct, how can I create the same results again?..”
To many these seemed quite boring but to her, it was an untapped wealth of knowledge. She took no time to place it all into her spatial ring. Even going to far as to organize everything even though she had plenty of space. After all, the things that were inside were supplies and rations, as well as a purse containing her money.
Other than her personal belongings, there were several piles of flowers, roots, and other medicines that she had collected along the way. Furthermore, there was that mortar and pestle she found at the first pavilion as well as that Thunder Dao Root. Now there were several stacks of books, neatly piled beside everything else.
While she was incredibly excited to read, this was not the time or the place. Still, grafting parts of plants with one another, mixing the pollen, there was even information detailing ways of producing high quality plants and curatives.
As much as she wanted to test things out, she left the cottage and walked towards the mansion. Meanwhile, a ship appeared above the Third Pavilion, where Anqing and the others waited in.
