Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 58: Digging for elixirs! Refining bones! (Please read and vote!)

"Hey, isn't that Gu Yuan? What is he going to do?"

"You may not know this yet, but Gu Yuan's status has changed. I heard he's now a herbalist working for Yu-something Building in the county. I guess he's going into the mountains to collect herbs. The Gu family is living a very good life now, with meat for every meal. Old Gu is enjoying a leisurely life at home all day long."

"Oh, yes. Old Gu is also lucky. His son is promising. If I also had a son like him, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

"Come on, you're an old bachelor, you don't even have a wife, let alone a son. Just keep dreaming, dreams have everything!"

The two people were sighing there, not knowing that Gu Yuan had heard everything they said.

After hearing that Dong Gui and Sun Er were burned to death, Gu Yuan was already thinking about giving Ah Huang some reward.

That's right, he was the one who did it!
To be precise, after Gu Yuan learned that the two had been drinking, he took the opportunity to instigate Ah Huang to smash the oil lamp, causing the fire.

As for Gu Yuan himself, many people in the village could testify for him that he was chopping firewood in the yard at the time and distributed the dried meat he had obtained from hunting to several neighbors with whom he had a good relationship.

Therefore, the deaths of Dong Gui and Sun Er had nothing to do with him.

After leaving Gujia Village, Gu Yuan called out Ah Huang and Ah Wu who had been waiting for him on the roadside, and stepped into the Yunmeng Mountains.

As for Big Mouth, he left him at home to look after the two elders.

Once again, I came to the hillside covered with Polygonatum sibiricum.

There are not many Polygonatum sibiricum here now. The older ones have been dug out by him. Most of the remaining ones are younger, as well as the three magical Polygonatum sibiricum.

Gu Yuan came to the three magical herbs Polygonatum sibiricum.

After not seeing them for a while, these spiritual herbs have not changed much.

Two of them are growing very well, with stems and leaves that are green in color, exuding a sense of vitality.

The stem and leaves in the middle have a hint of purple, and there are strands of misty spiritual energy wrapped around the surface, which looks quite magical.

Two hundred-year-old magical herbs Polygonatum sibiricum and one five-hundred-year-old magical herb Polygonatum sibiricum, this is the confidence that Gu Yuan will start to refine his bones!

Taking out the medicine shovel, Gu Yuan carefully dug out all three spiritual herbs.

Among them are two hundred-year-old magical herbs, Polygonatum sibiricum, which are the color of topaz and about the size of a fist. A light sniff can reveal a faint fragrance.

The five-hundred-year-old Polygonatum was a size larger than a fist, and its dark yellow surface had traces of purple lines.

Gu Yuan carefully took out two wooden boxes made of Luoxiang wood.

It is introduced in "The Great View of Spiritual Medicines" that once the hundred-year-old Polygonatum is dug out, its medicinal properties will be restrained, but the spiritual energy in it will still slowly dissipate.

Over time, it will gradually lose its medicinal properties.

Therefore, after the elixir is dug out, it needs to be stored in jade or wooden containers.

The jade box was too expensive for Gu Yuan to afford, so he simply spent three taels of silver to buy two wooden boxes made of Luoxiang wood.

This thing has the effect of repelling insects and calming the mind. It also has good sealing properties and can delay the spread of medicinal properties.

The reason why he dug out all three spiritual herbs was because he planned to use them as nourishment to start refining his bones.

Moreover, if Sanxiao wants to grow up quickly, he also needs these elixirs to nourish himself.

After putting the two wooden boxes away, Gu Yuan continued walking deeper into the forest.

In fact, although he was the herbalist of Yuding Tower, he was not a competent herbalist.

Since becoming a herbalist, he has never seriously gone into the mountains to collect herbs.

Gu Yuan asked Ah Huang and Ah Wu to lead the way, with one leading the way and the other following behind. They wandered around until noon, finally picking a few Ganoderma lucidum plants.

However, they are all young and not worth much money, but they are better than nothing. It is estimated that they can be sold for more than one penny of silver, which is more than one hundred coins. For ordinary people, it is a very good income.

Looking at these alone, you might think that collecting herbs is easy and a good way to make money.

But in fact, Gu Yuan had just encountered a black bear. Perhaps because it was woken up from hibernation, the black bear was quite angry. It stood up and roared a few times.

If the black bear had not realized that Gu Yuan was not a good person and the dangerous aura of the iron-backed centipede, it would have pounced on him long ago.

So, it is true that collecting herbs can make money, but it also depends on luck and even more on strength!

If you don’t have some skills, not only can you not make money by collecting herbs, you might even lose your life if you encounter wild beasts.

Gu Yuan’s lunch was a wild boar, or to be more precise, a wild boar leg.

This wild boar is not big.

After being processed by Gu Yuan, it was put on the fire and roasted. Gu Yuan also took out salt and smeared it on it.

As for the taste, the meat is tender and fresh, which is quite good.

Gu Yuan now had a big appetite and he ate a pig's hind leg clean, leaving only the bones.

After eating and drinking his fill, he took out the wooden box containing the magical medicine Polygonatum odoratum, took out one of the century-old Polygonatum odoratum, carefully cut off a piece, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

Not to mention, this elixir has a crisp and sweet taste, and it becomes more fragrant the more you chew it.

Not long after swallowing it, Gu Yuan felt a warm feeling in his stomach, which meant the medicine was starting to take effect.

"Squeak!"

Ah Huang, who was lying on the ground, immediately pulled up the corner of his clothes and looked at Gu Yuan eagerly with a pleading look in his eyes.

As for the centipede, it didn't make any sound, but it was also quietly watching Gu Yuan.

Speaking of which, these magical medicines, Polygonatum sibiricum, should actually belong to it.

"Okay, I won't forget you."

Of course, Gu Yuan would not just enjoy it for himself.

He cut two more pieces and gave one each to Ah Huang and Ah Wu.

Then, he stood up and went to an open space, where he began to practice boxing to digest the effects of the medicine.

Although this elixir, Polygonatum odoratum, is not a special elixir for bone refining, it contains rich vital energy and is quite nourishing, which is also of great benefit to his bone refining.

Whoops! Whoops!
Gu Yuan's punches were steady and resounding, obviously much faster than usual, but each punch and kick was more shocking!
At least after Gu Yuan finished a set of boxing, he felt warm all over and had an indescribable comfort.

At the same time, the bones felt a little itchy, as if they were covered with a layer of impurities, a layer of excess stuff, which made him want to rub them somewhere, or even scrape them with a file.

This clearly shows that he has entered the bone refining stage!
Bone refining focuses on making the bones throughout the body flexible and hard, just like constantly polishing and tempering a piece of iron ore, removing all impurities and leaving only the essence.

Gu Yuan was gifted with "iron bones", and his skeleton was not inferior to that of a martial artist in the bone refining stage, so he had a lot of advantages in the bone refining stage!
Even once he achieves mastery of bone refining, his bones will be even better than others! His physique will also be a bit stronger!

Don't underestimate this.

For martial artists, the more solid the foundation, the more stable the base will be, and naturally the higher the future achievements will be.
