Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 354 The inspiration brought by Fuyanzhen medicine (25)

In the evening, Lai, who naturally got together with Naqi again, was eating senbei, a specialty of Kamuyan Town, while studying the traditional Chinese medicine she bought on the way back under Naqi's massage.

In the game, there are only four kinds of traditional Chinese medicine in Fuyan Town, each with its own effect.

In fact, these four are finished products sold outside. In pharmacies, you can also buy some simple medicines that are slightly processed from raw materials. The taste is not as bad as the four finished products, and the effect is also greatly reduced.

"Although these things are very effective, they taste terrible. No Pokémon will like this kind of thing."

While gently squeezing Lai's shoulders, Naqi evaluated the medicinal materials piled on the table.

Not to mention eating it, but if you touch it with your hands for a longer time, the bad medicinal smell will be tainted, and it will disappear after washing your hands several times.

"You're right. If this kind of thing is used directly, it must only be used occasionally on specific occasions, such as when there is nothing else to do at a critical moment in a battle."

"But what if we can change our thinking? I really want to know what is the principle that the harder it is, the more useful it is."

As an outstanding breeder, although Lai is still far away from being a master breeder, in terms of his understanding of food, cubes, and wound medicine, and constantly testing himself in actual combat, he is already a leader in the entire Hoenn region. One of the most knowledgeable people.

His profound knowledge accumulation and practical experience made him keenly aware of the huge value contained in this.

He knew that as early as the ancient Xicui area, people had thought about the relationship between wild medicinal materials, healing herbs, food ingredients and cordyceps. However, they suffered from the limitations of their knowledge. Although they had achieved great results in the development of wound medicine, There is always a certain limit that cannot be exceeded.

Now, thousands of years have passed, and many species are no longer what they were before, but the principle remains the same.

The stimulation of medicinal properties is fundamentally the same as the coordination of tree fruits with energy cubes. The difference lies in how to ensure its efficacy and then adjust its applicability.

It's just a pity that Lai can't find any relevant information in his memory about the configuration of ancient food and medicine. He needs to study everything from scratch.

Feeling the gentle touch on his shoulder, Lai stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the back of Naqi's hand, stroking his girlfriend's smooth and white fingers.

"It's so annoying! It smells like medicine, and I have to wash my hands again soon."

Although she was constantly squealing, the tenderness on Naqi's face could not be suppressed.

A light hook with the fingertips across Lai's palm made his mind flutter.

Feeling that the heat was almost done, Naqi quickly stopped:

"Don't be so talkative. You'd better think about your new formula first."

"It's still early days for the formula, so we can only start from the medicinal properties bit by bit. It's probably going to be a long project."

After coming back to his senses and looking at the medicinal materials in his hands and on the table, Lai couldn't help but have a headache.

He clearly knows where there are good things, but he can't get there. This is the problem he, and perhaps many cultivation masters before him, encountered.

After all, this is not a simple seasoning issue. Generations of pharmacists know that good taste can bring sales, but they still have no way to prove that there must be something wrong with seasoning.

Withdrawing his hands that were entangled with his girlfriend, Lai held his breath and concentrated, and the power of his heart slowly penetrated into the medicinal materials and analyzed them.

From the most basic wild herbs, to advanced medicinal materials, to important core raw materials, and finally to finished Chinese medicines, especially vitality powder and all-purpose powder.

During the investigation, Lai discovered that in various medicinal materials, there is another kind of energy besides life energy. It is not active at all. It will only take action when the life energy is stimulated, entangled with the life energy. one place.

On the one hand, it will greatly stimulate the activity of life energy, on the other hand, it is also using life energy as nourishment to stimulate its own growth, if left unattended, it will devour life energy, and finally make this carrier There is only one kind of energy in it.

This phenomenon appears more directly and to a deeper extent in the more primitive medicinal materials.

"Is this medicine three-part poison?"

Looking at the medicinal herb in his hand that had been completely occupied by alien energy, Lai fell into deep thought.

"Don't think about it yet! It's been more than an hour, let's eat something."

When a small plate of Kamayan senbei and a cup of tea were brought, Naqi looked helpless.

There was already a bright moon hanging high outside the window, but this guy still only had the work in hand on his mind.

"Oh, thank you. I'll eat some."

Replied subconsciously, picked up a senbei, and was about to put it in his mouth, when the power of his heart subconsciously penetrated into it.

"Go and wash your hands! How can you eat something if your hands are full of medicine smell?"

Stepping forward, Naqi was about to pull Lai to wash her hands, but Lai suddenly stood up, picked her up, and spun her around a few times.

"Naki, you are truly my lucky star!"

"Eh?"

Although she was happy to be picked up, Nachi was confused.

"Perhaps, the key to solving these problems lies in this little Kamayan Senpei."

[Lai, did you call me? 】

Jirachi's elf ball suddenly opened, rubbing his sleepy eyes, Jirachi said hello in a daze.

I played a game with Mariluli just now and played too hard, and now she is very sleepy.

"No, no, just keep sleeping, little Jirachi."

[Oh, good night. 】

The red light flashed and Jirachi returned to the elf ball.

After the interlude, Lai carried Naqi to the seat and explained to her bit by bit.

There is also such energy interaction inside the Kamuen Senkai.However, the amount of alien energy is very, very small, so it will take a very long time to complete the entire erosion process. During this process, the effect of life energy may have been fully exerted.

In other words, alien energy may be the problem that herbs and medicinal materials are trying to solve, and bitterness is one of the ways to solve it.

The bitter taste in its original state may be to avoid being eaten by humans and Pokémon.

During the development process, perhaps by accident or scientific experiment, people realized that certain elements or treatments that increase the bitter taste can reduce the side effects of these medicinal materials.

Naqi was confused by what she said, but Lai spoke with great interest.

As he spoke, the alien energy in the senbei in his hand was almost completely swallowing up the life energy.

In order to verify his judgment, Lai decisively took a bite.

There was no bitter taste at all, but after swallowing it, a severe burning sensation gradually arose. Using the power of his heart to sense the conditions in his body, Lai discovered that these alien energies were eroding and harming his body.

However, its effect is not obvious. Without the help of the power of the heart, the immune system in the body quickly eliminates it, leaving only a very small amount. It is already a matter of time.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lai's forehead. Naqi looked very anxious, but she didn't know what the reason was, so she could only take out her handkerchief and wipe it gently.

After a long time, Lai opened his eyes, a little tired, but more excited.

Picking up the medicinal herbs he had prepared earlier, he took another bite and swallowed it.

As expected, the medicinal herbs at this time no longer had that strange bitter taste that disgusted all living things, and the burning sensation was exactly the same as that from the Kameyan Senkai.

However, the alien energy here seemed more stubborn. Without the help of the power of the heart, it fought back and forth with the immune system in the body, and it took a lot of effort to finally eliminate it.

Because he had to observe and analyze the whole process, Lai himself was tortured by severe pain.

"Yes! That's it! I found the reason!"

However, compared to the physical pain, he became very excited mentally.

After kissing Na Qi on the cheek, Lai was ecstatic.

"What the hell is it?"

Nachi was still confused.

"In general, herbs are bitter and make Pokémon uncomfortable because they contain an energy that is difficult to eliminate and will corrode the bodies of humans and Pokémon. So although they are useful, they are not popular. .”

"So, what you mean is that by eliminating this energy, the medicinal materials can have greater miraculous effects?"

At this time, Naqi vaguely understood what Lai meant.

"That's right! But how to do it specifically needs to be studied. I think some people have realized this before, but they were stuck here. So, if you insist on it, maybe there is still a long road ahead."

Gently holding his chin, Rai thought.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the clock that was almost pointing to the next day.

"Well, that's not very important. What's important is that I'm very tired. Just let me rest here, right?"

While Naqi was still looking at him intently, Lai gently stretched out his hand, put it around his girlfriend's waist, and made a proposal.

"?!"

The extreme shock made Naqi tremble, and then turned into a familiar stiffness.

"If I could sleep with Miss Naqi's belly in my arms, maybe I would be more inspired?"

Len's tone was slightly teasing.

"You are the one with the belly!!!"

Sure enough, in anger, Naqi quickly returned to normal.

"So, you have no objection?"

A smile appeared on his lips.

"You're talking nonsense!" In embarrassment, her smooth and pretty face turned red again, "Even if you don't leave, you can only sleep on the ground!"

"That's not impossible."

".no!"

"You agreed, but you can't go back on it."

"Ugh, then go take a shower, you're so dirty, sleep far away!"

The night is deep.

He looked at the small hands that hung from the bed and were still tightly held together with his own when he fell asleep. They looked white and soft in sleep.

Listen to the even breathing coming from above.

Lai suddenly discovered that the insomniac seemed to have become himself.

After counting thousands of sheep, he finally fell asleep.

At this time, Na Qi, who was sleeping soundly, moved slightly, her pretty face was flushed, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

Using the other arm to quietly prop up her upper body, Na Qi leaned on the cushion at the head of the bed, looking down at herself.
