Chapter 0310: The Divine Relic: Ginseng Fruit Tree
Second update: Chapter 310, let me calm down and start coding the third update!
…
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry!
On the way back to the city, Xu Kun also left a message for each of his friends, asking them to contact him after completing the secret realm assessment!
"Old sir, I didn't collect any F-grade medicinal materials. Do you think this E-grade medicinal material is okay?"
Returning to the drug store, Xu Kun found Li Xuetang who was sunbathing on a recliner.
"Xia Mi? E-level?" Li Xuetang was startled and jumped up from the recliner.
Xu Kun was afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied, so he directly took out five E-grade medicinal herbs!
"Oh my God, you are such a lucky boy. In just a short time, you have collected so many E-grade medicinal materials!"
As he spoke, Li Xuetang reached out and took one of the plants, with a smile on his face: "One E-grade medicinal plant is worth more than ten F-grade medicinal plants. This time, I will take advantage of you!"
[Ding, you have completed the F-level life task-herb collection, and you have learned the F-level herb collection technique]
【Herb Collection Technique】
Level: F level life skills
Features: Picking herbs
Increased chance of collecting herbs: F-level medicinal materials (10%), E-level medicinal materials (5%), D-level medicinal materials (1%), C-level medicinal materials (0.1%)
Proficiency: 0/100
The herb picking technique only provides a bonus to the probability of picking herbs. What really determines what medicine you can pick is the tool!
Let's put it this way, if Xu Kun holds a high-grade herb-picking tool now, he can even pick SSS-level natural materials and earthly treasures!
Herb-picking techniques and herb-picking tools complement each other. Herb-picking tools determine what grade of medicinal materials you can pick, while herb-picking techniques, in addition to providing some picking probability, mainly affect the quality of successfully picked medicinal materials!
The medicinal materials Xu Kun picked this time were all pulled up from the roots. The quality is 95% at best, retaining the best medicinal properties!
Low-level medicinal materials do not require advanced pharmacological knowledge, as long as you are careful not to damage the main body when picking them!
But high-grade natural materials and earthly treasures are different, most of them are more valuable!
If you are not careful, you will damage its origin!
Advanced herbal picking techniques allow you to master the techniques of picking medicinal herbs without causing serious damage to them!
Some high-grade medicinal materials are not only troublesome to pick, but also require corresponding tools. If the source is damaged due to lack of skills, the value will be discounted. In the field of medicinal herbs, more than one or two people have tasted this painful price. !
The 100 proficiency points required to advance from F-level herbal picking skills to E-level are to pick one hundred F-level medicinal herbs!
"With your current ability to pick E-level medicinal materials, and the quality is still so high, you only need to pick ten E-level medicinal materials to advance to E-level in your herbal picking skills!"
Li Xuetang reminded enthusiastically.
Every time the level of picking medicinal materials increases, the proficiency provided is ten times!
However, after being promoted to E-level, Xu Kun's picking of F-level medicinal materials will no longer provide proficiency. Correspondingly, E-level medicinal materials can only provide 1 point of proficiency!
Moreover, the higher the skill of collecting herbs, the more proficiency required increases tenfold!
Until it enters the stage of S-level herb collection, simply collecting herbs is useless at that time. In-depth research on the pharmacology of medicinal materials is required. These are still too far away from the current Xu Kun and there is no need to consider them for the time being!
"Um... are you interested in helping the little old man complete a task?" Li Xuetang said a little embarrassed.
Xu Kun, who was about to leave, paused. Was this... triggering a hidden mission?
"Say it!" Xu Kun said happily.
Hidden missions represent high returns, like the previous mission to find the master of God's Hammer, but it gave him unimaginable rewards!
"Ahem, little old man, I am now over a hundred years old, and my energy is not as good as before. If I want to make further progress in medicine, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky!"
"The little old man knows that in a desperate area outside the Yanhuang City, there is a relic of a magical medicine. Unfortunately, the little old man is weak and cannot get there, and he has no chance of getting the relic of the magical medicine!"
"Mr. Do you want me to help you pick the relics of this magical medicine?"
"Ahem..." Li Xuetang's old face turned red: "That's why, if I can harvest the relics of the magic medicine, after taking it, I can be rejuvenated and become a child again. When I am energetic, I think I can become even more skilled in medicine! "
Xu Kun raised his eyebrows. He was just picking a medicine. Why did he want to go to the "Shendu Country" to secretly buy a miracle medicine?
Something's wrong, something's wrong with this little old man. Looking at his shy look, it doesn't look like he's trying to improve his alchemy skills!
Could it be...
The scheming frog keeps touching your belly!
It seems that this NPC is also not honest. I am afraid that the art of refining medicine is fake. If he wants to practice the magic of the house, it is real to use a trick to crush the begonia with a pear tree!
Xu Kun's eyes flashed with wisdom, but he did not expose Li Xuetang's little Jiujiu.
"I'm willing to serve you!" Xu Kun smiled. No matter what Li Xuetang's purpose was, as long as there was a reward, everything would be easy!
Hearing Xu Kun's agreement, Li Xuetang was overjoyed at first, but then added: "Don't rush to agree now, I have to explain some things clearly to you, otherwise I can't bear the responsibility of harming you when the time comes. ah!"
"Well, you tell me, I'll listen!" Xu Kun nodded.
Li Xuetang took out a piece of brown paper, spread it out and saw a red dot drawn on it. Judging from the direction, it was far away from Yanhuang City, even far away from the green tree map. Compared with the map given by Yue Yun, it was actually in a black unknown. zone!
This old man is not simple, he even has a map of this unknown area!
After looking at the coordinates, it was almost halfway between Yanhuang City and the entrance to the 20th floor!
"The location of the relic of the magical medicine is probably at the junction of the fifteenth and sixteenth floors, but it is far away from the exploration area of Yanhuang City, so no one cares about it!"
"Then old sir, this map..."
"It's what my ancestors left behind!"
Well, just like Wang Mengmeng, your ancestors are all awesome!
"My ancestors fled all the way to avoid being chased by monsters. Fortunately, they escaped to the place where this sacred relic was located. Using my family's ancestral medicinal tools, they successfully picked a sacred relic from it. fruit!"
"But my ancestor also died because of it!"
"Huh?" Xu Kun was puzzled.
Li Xuetang continued: "According to what my ancestors said, this sacred relic is guarded by a fifteenth-level SS-level boss, and it is a poisonous snake boss!"
"My ancestor was planning to pick a few more fruits, but he was discovered by the guardian boss. Although he managed to escape in the end, my ancestor was poisoned and died of the poison not long after returning to Yanhuang City!"
"He did not waste the fruit, but let his descendants eat it. That's why I know that the fruit of the sacred relic has the effect of rejuvenating the old and rejuvenating the old body!"
"This map was also drawn by the son of my ancestor according to what he said before his death, including the monster groups that may be encountered along the way. However, it is too long ago and has a history of hundreds of years. Has there been any change, little old man? I don’t know anymore!”
[Ding, Li Xuetang has issued an SS-level hidden mission to you - picking the relics of divine relics. Do you accept it? 】
"Accept!" Without any hesitation, Xu Kun accepted the task.
【Collecting sacred relics and seeds】
Level: SS level hidden mission
Trigger conditions: Li Xuetang, the owner of the drug store, has a friendship level above respect and shows excellent ability to collect herbs.
Mission requirements: Bring back an S-level ginseng spiritual fruit with a quality of over 60%
Mission reward: unknown
Seeing Xu Kun taking over the task, Li Xuetang smiled and handed Xu Kun the map that recorded the coordinates of the relics.
"Old sir, what is that..."
Xu Kun picked up the map and looked at it. It not only marked the route and the general situation of the boss, but also the information about the sacred relic species!
[Sacred relics·Ginseng fruit tree]
Grade: S level
Information: The transplanted plant of the SSS-level divine ginseng fruit is rooted between the 15th and 16th floors of the Haotian Tower. It blooms once every thirty years, bears fruit once every thirty years, and matures once every thirty years. Smell it and feel refreshed. Eat one to rejuvenate your youth and increase your longevity.
S-level natural treasures, with Xu Kun's current F-level herb-picking skills, it is completely impossible to successfully pick them!
So Xu Kun was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Li Xuetang seemed to have noticed Xu Kun's embarrassment, and immediately said: "Don't worry, it's not easy to pick the relics of sacred relics. I know it. I have some medicinal materials left by my ancestors here. I'll lend them to you first!"
【Golden Hammer】
Grade: S-level herb picking tool
Strength: +1
Characteristics: A gold-based medicinal tool, the nemesis of all wood-based natural materials and earthly treasures.
Herb collection probability: 100% for wood medicinal materials below A level, 50% for S level wood medicinal materials, 10% for SS level, 1% for SSS level
characteristic:
[Wood Knocking]: Use a golden hammer to hit wood-based medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials will automatically fall off the place where they grew. Failure to do so will destroy the origin of the medicinal materials, so use with caution!
Xu Kun raised his eyebrows, this thing is not simple!
S-level herb picking tools are already very rare, because such tools already have special functions!
For example, this golden hammer, which looks like a small hammer, is the nemesis of all wood-type natural materials and earthly treasures!
The higher the grade of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the more abnormal they become. They are no longer the herbs Xu Kun is currently picking. Some of them are like a ball of fire, and some are like a piece of ice!
But no matter what, just like low-level medicinal materials, wood-type heavenly materials and earthly treasures account for the vast majority!
For example, the SS-level seven-color snow lotus that Xu Kun picked up from the drop of the Snow Monster King before was considered a half-ice and half-wood treasure!
In the same way, the vast majority of the natural and earthly treasures that Jin Chunzi can pick account for!
Looking at Jin Jingzi, Li Xuetang showed a trace of nostalgia: "This is a treasure that has been passed down from our ancestors. With the help of this treasure, our family can pass it on!"
Also, 100% of wood-type heavenly and earthly treasures below A level can be picked. Even if Li Xuetang doesn't refine medicine, he can still make a lot of money just by picking medicine!
"It's a pity that my descendants are unworthy. My medicinal skills are mediocre, and my strength is also mediocre. I dare not go deep into the barren area to pick high-grade medicinal materials. If this treasure is left here, it will be regarded as a pearl covered in dust!"
"If you can retrieve the sacred relic for me this time, this treasure will be given to you as part of the reward!"
This feeling is so good!
If you really feel sleepy, give me a pillow!
And according to Li Xuetang, this golden hammer is just an extra gift, not the mission reward itself. This makes Xu Kun even more excited about the benefits he can get if he completes this hidden mission!
"I have to remind you that the ginseng spiritual fruit is very fragile. When you hit it with a golden hammer, you must not hit it itself, you need to hit its root, otherwise it will instantly turn into spiritual energy and dissipate!"
"Ginseng fruit is afraid of the five elements. It falls when it encounters gold, withers when it encounters wood, melts when it encounters water, burns when it encounters fire, and dies when it encounters soil. Therefore, after picking it, it must be carefully wrapped with cloth to ensure safety!"
"My requirements are not high. As long as there is a ginseng fruit with a quality of more than 60%, I will be satisfied!"
"Uh... How many fruits are there on this divine relic?"
"When my ancestor went there, there were dozens of mature fruits. However, since there is a guardian boss, it must enjoy one every once in a while. Now there are still a few. I'm sorry that I can't answer!"
That's enough!
Xu Kun was delighted. He didn't expect to have such an opportunity. Not to mention other things, if he picked one more, it would be a profit!
"Don't worry, old man, I will definitely bring back a ginseng fruit when the time comes!" Xu Kun patted his chest and promised.
Li Xuetang smiled: "I believe in your ability, but remember not to be greedy. That SS-level boss is extremely ferocious, and the area where it is located is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will be doomed!"
Xu Kun was not very panicked about this. If he had to wait for Yang Yao and the others to come out to brush the secret realm, Xu Kun would like to go there for a stroll now!
Humph, with the wind and fire wheels under my feet, Chengying and Jiuxiao Yanyang in my hands, there is no place above the tenth floor that I can't go!
Let alone it's just one snake, even if there are ten or a hundred, what's wrong?
One hundred come, one hundred die!
Ginseng Spirit Fruit, dropped by the boss, I want them all!
It's just like this little cow sitting on the wire-awesome with lightning!
After saying goodbye to Li Xuetang, Xu Kun planned to start his forging journey, but when he walked out of the medicine shop, he was dumbfounded again.
"Where the hell can I go to forge the Ranger Hunting Blade?"
The blacksmith shop is closed. The place that was open to trial participants and could be used by paying some spirit stones is gone!
Can't we forge it on the street or in the wild?
When you are undecided, you can ask Yue Yun!
"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Yue, are you busy?"
"Xiao Kun, I'm not busy. I'm maintaining law and order at the door of the blacksmith shop. I would have asked you if you hadn't contacted me. Is this another masterpiece of yours?"
Xu Kun smiled embarrassedly: "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!"
Yue Yun laughed out loud, and I knew it!
"Tell me what you want from me!"
"Well, the blacksmith shop is closed, and I have nowhere to go to practice casting..."
"Well, it seems like I've shot myself in the foot!"
"Hey! Do you think there's any solution?"
"It's easy. Just go to my house to cast. I'm not bragging. I've been studying casting in my spare time for the past few years. Now I'm a C-level caster. I have all kinds of props at home!"
"Home?" Xu Kun asked puzzled.
"Stupid, spend some spirit stones to buy a house in Yanhuang City. Is that difficult?"
Xu Kun: ...
There's even this method!
"Is the house expensive?" Xu Kun asked tentatively.
"It depends on your budget, but this place doesn't support loans. If you need to pay in full at one time, just go to the City Lord's Mansion to choose. If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can rent a house. What's the matter? Do you want to buy a house?"
"Ahem, I have this idea!"
"Okay, I'll take you to have a look some other day. If you need it now, just go to my house. The location is... I have opened your permission, just go in!"
"Oh, by the way, if you want to cast, the blacksmith shop is closed now. Do you have any metals? I have a lot of low-level metals in stock here. If you want, take them!"
Damn it!
If I had known that finding Yue Yun could solve all the troubles, why would I have to go out and mine by myself!
Sure enough, it's easy to get things done with someone above. After Yue Yun's help, Xu Kun came to Yue Yun's "home" in this Yanhuang City according to his goal!
