Endless Devouring

Chapter 3 Devouring Herbs
Seeing the third younger brother go back to his room to practice, Xiao Ding's smile restrained, his eyes far away.

"Xiao Yanzi, your elder brother, I have a system, and I know many things about the future. I will accept it, grandpa, and it will definitely be of greater value."

He turned back.

Sitting cross-legged to practice, Yao Lao didn't secretly absorb his battle energy immediately.

Xiao Ding was not in a hurry, after all, it was a new person, so it is normal to be cautious.

He practiced as usual, but half a month later, the battle qi he had absorbed suddenly disappeared.

Pretending to be surprised, he investigated specifically, but ultimately failed to find the reason.

He has a low cultivation base at the moment, so he really can't find it, and he didn't fake it.

If he hadn't known about Yao Lao's existence, he would have regarded it as a strange disease like Xiao Yan.

"Just suck the old guy, you will always get your money back with interest!"

Xiao Ding hummed in his heart, and continued to use the power of the system to cultivate.

He couldn't find Yao Lao, and likewise Yao Lao couldn't find the existence of the system, he just thought it was a special bloodline power.

Xiao Ding's cultivation speed dropped by half, he thought that now the system can swallow the fighting spirit that can swallow the void, and can also swallow medicine.

"Take the drug, let the old drug recover as soon as possible, I want to get the burning formula!"

Xiao Ding secretly decided.

After being promoted to Dou Zhe, he needs a high-level kung fu practice, and burning formula is the most suitable one.

Although this exercise is the lowest level at the beginning, it can grow, which is much better than him going to the trouble of switching to a mysterious-level exercise.

He took all his money, took away the wallets of his two younger brothers, and brought them to a small market by himself.

He doesn't want any pills, and plans to just secretly buy medicinal materials to try.

He felt that medicine must include medicinal materials.

His eyes moved to the stalls along the street, there were all kinds of medicinal materials, medicines, weapons and even monster crystal cores.

He stopped in front of a pile of ginseng and picked up one to observe.

"Ding, medicinal materials have been detected!"

"Meets the conditions for devouring, is it swallowing?"

Xiao Ding asked calmly: "Boss, how do you sell it?"

"The small ones are ten gold coins each, and the large ones are twenty gold coins each." The old man who set up the stall replied taking a puff of dry tobacco.

"I'll buy more herbs, give me a discount." Xiao Ding only had a few hundred gold coins in his pocket, so naturally he wanted to buy as much as possible.

"If you buy more than [-] gold coins, I'll give you a [-]% discount, [-]% discount for [-] gold coins, and [-]% discount for [-] gold coins."

The uncle said bluntly, they basically sell medicinal materials with discounts for those who buy more.

Xiao Ding took some ginseng, angelica and various medicinal materials, most of them were tonics, and some were used to heal wounds and detoxify, about a dozen kinds. After spending all the money, he left with a pack of medicinal materials.

Back inside, he asked the servant to prepare a bucket of hot water, and then took off the ring.

To determine Yao Lao's current situation, it is natural to try to avoid it in the name of taking a bath.

In the steaming water, Xiao Ding picked up a ginseng and devoured it directly.

A pure medicinal power appeared in the body without any impurities. After the medicinal power diffused, he felt warm all over.

After practicing, part of the energy in the medicinal power was directly converted into battle qi, and the other part was absorbed by the body, which accelerated his absorption of battle qi.

"It's really effective. It should be because the system only swallowed the essence, otherwise I would basically have no effect if I only eat ginseng."

Xiao Ding glanced at the ginseng thoughtfully, the ginseng became shriveled and dull, without its original luster, just like rotten.

He shook hands, and with a chirping sound, the ginseng was crushed into dregs and fell into the barrel.

"It's so brittle, it's completely rancid, without a bit of essence."

Xiao Ding was surprised, as expected the system swallowed it, it was really clean, there was nothing left.

Picking up the medicinal materials and continuing to devour them, wisps of pure medicinal power continuously entered the body.

This medicinal power is more than ten times that the body can absorb the medicinal power when simply taking the medicinal materials, or even more, otherwise the effect would not be so obvious.

"The value of the medicinal materials has also been brought into play more than ten times, which is very suitable for a poor ghost like me."

Xiao Ding thought happily, and continued to actively absorb the power of the medicine.

This is a tonic, and its medicinal power can not only strengthen his body, but also promote his cultivation speed, which is comparable to the power of the more precious pill.

After trying the tonic, he devoured healing herbs and was still able to strengthen his body, and some hidden injuries in his body were also repaired under the power of the medicine.

The most miraculous thing was when he devoured a kind of calming and calming medicinal material, its medicinal power made Xiao Ding's head as calm as water, without any distracting thoughts, and his sense of battle qi became much stronger.

He simply combined the absorption, just like a pharmacist combining different medicinal materials when refining medicine. He directly combined the medicinal power, which almost doubled the speed of cultivation.

Half a day passed, and in the evening, Xiao Ding stopped with a ruddy face. His cultivation base has increased a lot, and the medicinal materials have only been consumed by about one-twentieth.

This price is too cheap, he estimates that the value of the medicinal pill with similar effects is more than a hundred times that of these medicinal materials, which is not something he can bear at this stage.

"Although I haven't used elixir yet, the effect of this method is better than taking elixir, and there is no negative effect at all."

Xiao Ding looked satisfied, what he devoured was the purest potency of the medicinal materials, and there are some toxins in the elixir, which are harmful to the body, ordinary people can't eat too much.

Comparing the two, this method can completely crush the effect of other people taking pills.

Especially if he prepares medicinal materials in a certain ratio of elixir, and then devours them at the same time, the purest combination of medicinal power is probably better than the effect of the top-notch elixir!

In this way, wouldn't he be able to replace the pill with a combination of medicinal materials?
The only problem is that even the materials needed for the lowest-level elixir are quite expensive, and a pair is estimated to cost thousands of gold coins, which he can't afford at the moment.

"Isn't there a little rich woman?"

Xiao Ding let out a smirk, got up from the bucket, washed away the medicinal residues on his body with water, put on his clothes and ring, and swaggered to Xun'er's room.

He didn't throw away the ring, ready to give Yao Lao the illusion that he was relying on drugs to solve his problems.

"Woo, it smells like medicine, Brother Xiao Ding, what are you doing?"

Xun'er pouted her rosy cherry mouth, pinching her nose very uncomfortable.

"Uh, my brother has been feeling a little unwell recently, so he took a medicinal bath."

Xiao Ding smiled awkwardly, he was probably used to soaking in the medicine dregs, and he didn't notice how strong the medicine smell was on his body.

"Ah, Brother Xiao Ding, are you sick?"

Xun'er let go of her nose, her big eyes felt distressed, she stretched out her short hand, ran to the bed and tiptoed to touch Xiao Ding's forehead.

"It's okay, if you encounter a small problem during cultivation, just take a few doses of medicine and you'll be fine!"

Xiao Ding rubbed Xun'er's head, "Come on, carry out the daily task."

"No, brother Xiao Ding, you don't feel well, so you don't need to wash Xun'er's tendons and marrow."

With her little hands behind her back, Xun'er shook her head like an adult.

"Your brother and I have a profound cultivation base. Helping you wash your tendons and cut your marrow is just a pediatrics. It will not waste much fighting energy, but how long you can bear it."

Xiao Ding grinned, pressed Xun'er to sit down, and began to wash his tendons and marrow.

Xun'er's beautiful eyes showed emotion.

Although she was very peaceful in Xiao's house, she had no relatives after all, and Xiao Ding's concern made her heart very warm.
