Chapter 277 Zhanlan Pharmacy and the Secret Medicine

In mid-September, the temperature in the Kanto area has gradually turned cooler, and Zhanlan City, which is close to the sea, feels damp and cold, which makes Zhou You more determined to expand the farm and change to a more suitable place to live.

Moreover, the money for the construction of farms and pastures will only come from the income of the farms and pastures. This kind of construction and operation from scratch is the greatest joy of Ranch Story.

Being in reality does not mean that you must put efficiency and the best answer first in everything, and making yourself happy while achieving your goals is the most important thing.

After riding a fire-breathing dragon from the highlands to Zhanlan City, I traveled to the market here to investigate, and found that because it is located on an island, the prices here are higher except for seafood.

There is not much area available for human habitation in Zhanlan Island. The entire Zhanlan City is built in rows on the eastern plain of the island. Fortunately, due to unknown reasons, storms tend to be concentrated on the west side, so even the lowlands close to the sea can be safely inhabited.

Although the western part of the island is almost undeveloped, there are some reclaimed fields in the hinterland, exporting agricultural products that are better than nothing for Zhanlan City.

In short, people in Zhanlan City mainly rely on seafood and shipping for their livelihood. If Zhou You can produce high-quality fruit or other crops stably, there is basically no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

He can sell crops at a relatively low price without considering expenses such as shipping costs. Because of his small scale, he doesn't even have to worry about disrupting the market and causing a series of problems.

At the end of the market research, Zhou You came to the secret pharmacy in Zhanlan City.

The secret medicine produced here is one of the local specialties. It is a highly effective medicine that can instantly make any Pokémon energetic.

You may be able to find some special information here.

As soon as he walked into the pharmacy, Zhou You smelled the pungent and strong smell of herbs. The memory of having to drink a large bag of traditional Chinese medicine every day during the SARS period suddenly revived and began to attack him.

"Welcome, kid, what medicine do you want to buy?" The store manager Jin Jue is an old man in simple clothes, and his attitude does not change because he is a ten-year-old child.

Most of the adults in Zhanlan City have to go to sea to work, women, children, and the elderly are left behind very seriously, and it is also normal for children to go out to shop.

"I'm not buying medicine today, and I'd like to ask the store manager to help me identify a plant." Zhou You placed a few secret bitters on the counter.

By the way, I glanced at the price of the secret medicine. The price of a single pill is tens of thousands. Is this what Ami feeds to his electric dragon... I don't quite understand why they don't send it to the elf center.

"Identification?"

At this time, there was not a single customer in the pharmacy except Zhou You, who was idle. The store manager glanced at the bitter ingredients: "This is...where did you get this?"

"I picked it up." From the item storage system.

"Nonsense, can you pick up the secret seasoning in the Padia area?" The old store manager pushed his glasses with sharp eyes and confidence, "This kind of secret seasoning is only a very small number of places even in Padia. It's a rare plant that can only grow under it, if you can pick it up, I'll eat it!"

As expected of a 500-year-old brand, even such unorthodox things can be identified instantly.

But cheating on food and drinking is not good, right? The old man Zhou You looked at the store manager with admiration: "The secret seasoning from the Padia region?"

"That's right, this is a mysterious plant brought out by cave explorers from the giant pit of Padia 200 years ago, and was later planted in various parts of Padia. Unfortunately, its growth conditions are extremely harsh, and it was not able to be planted in batches in the end.

"In addition, after wild elves eat it, they break through their limits and grow into powerful treasure lords who occupy their surroundings, making it difficult for humans to collect this rare plant."

After explaining the origin of the secret seasoning, the old store manager sighed with regret: "My great-grandfather was lucky enough to get some when he was young, and it was recorded in the catalog, otherwise I really wouldn't recognize it. Where did this thing come from?"

"It was given by a friend. Since it is so precious and these plants are still alive, can you try to plant them?" Zhou You was vaguely looking forward to this.

The number of secret seasonings in the box is limited, if it is really possible to plant them in batches, doesn't it mean that you can cultivate treasure masters in batches?

Oversized wind speed dog?

That can really be used as a bed to sleep in!

It’s just that the appetite is a little bit...

"It's a good idea. Didn't I just say that the Partians planted it all over the island, and in the end there were only a few places that were suitable for the growth of the secret seasoning. Just a few plants like yours are not enough for experiments. Yes." The old store manager shattered Zhou You's fantasy on the spot.

"Then there's no other way to use them besides using them as seasonings?" He was still a little unwilling to do so.

"To make seasonings? That's the biggest waste. Their real use is as medicinal materials."

Seeing that the other party no longer had the dream of planting secret seasonings, the store manager glanced at the fire-breathing dragon outside the house, and suggested, "How about I exchange 5 secret medicines for your 5 seasonings? It can only be used for cooking in your hands, why not exchange it with me for something real."

The secret medicine... is also one of the most powerful among many Chinese medicines. After being given to the elves, even if they suffer from several abnormal conditions, serious injuries or even death, they can quickly recover from their injuries. This is a pharmacy that has been passed down for 500 years. The treasure of the store.

In fact, if I have [-] ml of holy ash in my travels, I honestly don’t really need it.

But after thinking about it, he exchanged the secret medicine with the store manager with the seasoning, and asked if the pharmacy needed any other fruits or crops...

……

After leaving Zhanlan Drugstore, the investigation on the fruit market was roughly completed, Zhou You and Arthur headed towards the Elf Center.

"The shelf life of the secret medicine is 5 years, so use it when it is inconvenient to use holy ash."

Zhou You is not worried that this store is not worthy of its name. This is a real 500-year-old store.

It is said that the legend of Azure Pharmacy is spread even in the Xicui area on another continent in Azhong, and there are even side tasks related to it (the classic cures the headache of Kodak Duck).

※ From the sub-quests of secret medicine and ghost potted plants, it can also be inferred that the plot time of Chuan A is guaranteed to be within 500 years, and it is a time node that is relatively close to modern times.

"Aww?" Arthur wondered why the secret medicine that was not as effective as holy ash was available since there was holy ash.

"The secret medicine is powerful. Even if it is mixed with water and given to a lot of elves, it can still play a part. Take it with you, maybe you will have a chance to use it."

"And the kumquat store manager is right. A small amount of secret seasoning is simply not enough...wait, why don't I just ask Reshiram to take me to the Padya Pit?"

Roaring Moon, Tie Zhiyin, the guardian dragon of the paradise... and Paipana's parents who only exist in the setting.

These things are very attractive, but it is very dangerous to rush to the zeroth to explore, and only researchers are allowed to enter there, so it is not easy to legally investigate.

"Let's talk about it after some time when the scholars from Partia come to Kanto to investigate the Taijingzhu, and the secret seasoning may not necessarily fail to grow."

You can try Lugia's Wind of Grace and Alpaca's Life Gem first. If they don't work, then consider picking them at the place of origin.
