Chapter 101: Golden Sore Powder

Cheng Feng didn't know the specific efficacy of the medicine-decocting pot.

A month ago, Xia Hong had personally sought him out and told him to pay attention to the plants outside when leading the team to log, and as long as they were suspected to be medicinal or sufficiently special and precious, he should bring them back.

Although he didn't know why he had to do this, Cheng Feng still followed Xia Hong's order and paid more attention outside. Over this past month, he had also brought back more than ten types of special plants.

This medicine-decocting pot looked very magical, but so far, Cheng Feng really hadn't discovered what use it had. Not only was it useless, but every time he put plants into it, it also consumed varying amounts of coal stone before it would react.

The so-called reaction was just the medicine-decocting pot emitting a faint light.

Although it looked magical, there was no substantial output after all. What it was like when the plants were put in, it was still the same when taken out, so after a long time, Cheng Feng was also very puzzled in his heart about why Xia Hong wanted him to do this.

"Where did this Blue Condensing Grass come from?"

Blue Condensing Grass?

Realizing that Xia Hong was talking about the light blue plant he had brought back, Cheng Feng hurriedly replied: "This was brought back from the outer edge of Red Wood Ridge. This grass grows on the snow next to a blue tree. There are many plants. I smelled a faint fragrance and thought it might be useful. Leader, do you recognize Blue Condensing Grass? Does it have a great effect?"

Although he didn't know the specific efficacy of the medicine-decocting pot, from Xia Hong's instructions to him, Cheng Feng could also guess a thing or two. Connecting it to the joy on Xia Hong's face just now, he immediately realized that he should have brought back something very useful.

Hearing that there was a lot of this grass, Xia Hong's face suddenly showed joy, and he hurriedly asked: "You didn't cut down that tree, did you?"

Cheng Feng shook his head and replied: "No, the trees we've cut recently are mainly Golden-Lin trees. If we can't find them, we'll cut Vermilion Frost. This kind of blue tree has average hardness, and plus it was the first time I saw it, so I didn't cut it."

"Then you mark the location. That tree cannot be cut down in the future. This Blue Condensing Grass should be a companion plant of that tree and has great use."

Hearing Xia Hong's solemn instructions, Cheng Feng nodded.

"One plant each of Blue Condensing Grass and Black Caltrop ground into powder, half a jin of coal stone powder, one jin of Golden-Lin Tip, plus ten jin of Frostwolf Inverted Bone ground into powder, add water and cook together for half an hour."

Looking at the Golden Sore Powder formula in the system, Xia Hong's expression moved slightly. He let Cheng Feng, who was beside him, find Xia Chuan, then told Xia Chuan the things in the formula and let him find them from the mine cave warehouse.

Coal stone and Blue Condensing Grass were ready-made; Black Caltrop grew on the edge of the mine cave;

Golden-Lin Tip grew on the top part of the Golden-Lin tree, appearing white and oval-shaped, a bit like a fruit. There was only one on a tree, and the weight was between ten jin and fifty jin;

Frostwolf Inverted Bone, as the name implied, was the circle of bone spurs on the neck of a Frostwolf. An adult Frostwolf could grow more than ten on its neck, and each one was ten-plus jin.

Some time ago, as long as items with medicinal value were identified by the medicine-decocting pot, Xia Hong ordered people to collect them and store them in the mine cave warehouse. These supplies, like cold beast meat, were all managed by Xia Chuan, the camp supply officer.

Soon, Xia Chuan found all the items Xia Hong mentioned.

Xia Hong did it himself, quickly prepared all the materials, then had people bring a large wooden bucket of water, threw all the materials into the medicine-decocting pot, then poured water, put in 10 units, which was two hundred jin of coal stone, and began cooking.

Everyone was a bit puzzled at first, but as time passed, the medicinal herbs in the medicine-decocting pot emitted a strange fragrance, and they immediately reacted that Xia Hong was refining medicine. Everyone's face suddenly showed a trace of expectation.

Of course, the most expectant was Xia Hong himself.

Golden Sore Powder, judging from the name, should be similar to the golden sore medicine in the martial arts novels of his past life, used to treat external injuries. For the current Great Xia, this absolutely counted as an extremely precious medicinal supply.

Those who stayed in the camp and didn't need to go out, as well as the members of the logging team, were actually fine. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't suffer any injuries;

But the members of the hunting team were different. They dealt with those powerful cold beasts all day long. Although there were animal traps now, plus Xia Hong personally led the team, as long as they didn't touch those that were too strong or too unfamiliar, there would basically be no personnel deaths, but injuries were still unavoidable.

Even Xia Hong, this Earth-Digging Realm, was no exception, let alone other Woodcutting Realms. Situations of being accidentally injured by cold beasts happened almost every night.

Without medicine for treatment, one could only wait for self-healing after being injured. Although because their physique was stronger, general injuries could heal themselves, it wouldn't work if they encountered slightly heavier ones. Light ones would leave sequelae, and heavy ones would be disability, or even wound infection, and finally death.

Besides, things produced by the system had never disappointed Xia Hong. This Golden Sore Powder, although the name sounded ordinary, how the efficacy was still had to be tested personally.

The movement of the medicine-decocting pot became bigger and bigger, and the water vapor rising inside became more and more intense. Accompanied by the emission of water vapor, strange fragrances constantly came out from inside. As soon as half an hour was up, the coal stone at the bottom of the pot went out with a snap, and the movement of the medicine-decocting pot also completely subsided.

When the last wisp of steam dissipated, Xia Hong walked up and opened the lid of the medicine-decocting pot. Many people around also gathered around at this time.

Everyone's gaze was cast into the interior of the medicine-decocting pot.

A pile of golden-yellow dry medicinal powder appeared in everyone's eyes.

The strange fragrance emitted by the medicinal powder made everyone's face show an enjoyable expression.

"Call Zou Yuankai and Zhu Shun over."

Xia Hong gave an order, and the crowd suddenly became restless. Soon, Zou Yuankai and Zhu Shun walked in from the periphery.

Zou Yuankai's right cheek was wrapped in a piece of animal hide; Zhu Shun's left leg was limping as he walked, and his face also showed pain from time to time.

The reason why Xia Hong wanted to give the hunting team a day off today was because of these two.

Last night, when leading the team to hunt a Golden-Eyed Demon Sheep, the big tree where these two were hiding when shooting arrows was knocked down by the demon sheep, and both of them suffered not-so-light injuries.

"Expose the wounds, I'll apply medicine for you and test the efficacy."

Hearing Xia Hong's words, the two didn't hesitate and immediately exposed their wounds.

Zou Yuankai uncovered the wrapped animal hide, and a ferocious crack five inches long extended almost from his chin to his forehead, which was quite creepy. Fortunately, people in the Frozen Abyss World didn't have appearance anxiety. If this were in his past life, it would be a proper disfigurement, and the person would probably be inferior for a lifetime.

Zhu Shun uncovered his trouser leg and dismantled the wrapped animal hide. There was also a huge wound twenty-plus centimeters long on his left leg, and the surrounding area was even oozing blood. Judging from the scale of the wound, it was even more frightening than Zou Yuankai's.

The people surrounding the medicine-decocting pot saw the wounds on the two and couldn't help but gasp.

"The cold beast meat you eat every day doesn't come out of thin air!"

Such a good educational opportunity, Xia Hong naturally wouldn't let it go. Noticing the surprise on everyone's faces, he immediately gave a hint.

Once this sentence was said, let alone those reservists who had never left the camp, even the people of the logging team couldn't help but show shame on their faces.

Xia Hong didn't continue after saying this. Some words were meant to be stopped at the point; saying too much was instead not beautiful. Reminding them to drink water and think of the source was enough.

He used a wooden spoon to dig out a little Golden Sore Powder and then carefully sprinkled it on the wound on Zou Yuankai's face.

Hiss...

The moment the medicinal powder touched the wound, it clearly reacted. Zou Yuankai couldn't help but gasp in pain; the same process, Zhu Shun was the same, his leg wound was bigger, and the medicinal powder used was relatively more.

"Leader, it's a bit itchy, no, it's very itchy, my face is very itchy..."

On this side, just after applying it to Zhu Shun's wound.

Zou Yuankai's words on that side made Xia Hong's expression startled.

Itchy?

Scabbing, so fast, it's only been a few minutes!

Xia Hong's expression was a bit suspicious, and he hurriedly walked to Zou Yuankai's side, staring carefully at the wound on his face.

After looking for only a moment, Xia Hong's face was full of joy.
