/ The Unknown Beauty Chapter 50
Group 3
Xie Rong (age 25) and Zhang Haocun (age 18) woke up early and went to find the herbs on their list . As they were walking, Xie Rong tries experimenting on how to preserve .
"What are you doing?" Zhang Haocun was curious on what Xie Rong was doing .
"I'm trying to see if preserving herbs can also be done with preserving meat and organs . " Using the same method Zhao Meiying (the girl who was a doctor's disciple) and Li Dan E (brother killed by Gu Xiang's Sister, Gu Wang Shu) and finds he needs to use more qi for meat than plants .
"Would it work?"
Advertisement"I don't know, so far it's doing okay with the fish . I have to try with the hearts but the Vulture hearts has already gone bad . We have to go get them again . "
"We might have too . "
They keep traveling through the forest to find more herbs and surprisingly they only have one herb left to find .
"Almost done, just one more herb to go . " And Zhang Baoyu checks the list to see what herb is the last one . "Last one is the Blood Berries . Use to help regenerate blood cells in the body faster and restore some dead ones for when someone loses blood . A lot of creatures also use them to regenerate their own blood as well . "
"Wow, those berries are amazing!" Zhang Haocun said .
"Yep, extremely rare and hard to find . Master didn't give us the location like the other herbs so we have to find it . "
"Maybe where qi is thicker . "
Xie Rong was confused . "Why do you think so?"
"Well, if creatures use it to save them, it's probably where powerful beast and animals are . So where the qi is thicker . "
"That's a good idea . " So they start exploring the forest and came across a river . Since there is water, creature would definitely gather here for a drink . They took a break and went hunting and practice the preserving technique .
Xie Rong practice on the molded vulture hearts and seems he perfected the technique when they heard a noise . Zhang Haocun went hunting for rabbits so Xie Rong was by himself .
The tree was thick with so many leaves covering whatever creature was in it . It has vines hanging around the tree making it difficult to climb up . But Xie Rong recognize the qi, so he climbed up to check it out and sees Gu Xiang (accused of murder by his sister) left alone .
Gu Xiang's face looked terrible, with his skin so pale and crazy dark circles under his eyes . He had some red spots around his arm and legs which is probably the cause of his situation .
"Gu Xiang?" Xie Rong said carefully making sure it was Gu Xiang .
"Xie Rong? What are you doing here?"
"I could say the same to you… Where is Chu Yang? How come you are alone?"
"I got stung by some Spiritual Honey bees . Chu Yang (was the general of the Chu Empire) went to find some food and when she came back, she decided to go hunting for some beast for our mission . I've been here since . "
Xie Rong went up to him and grabbed his hand to check his pulse and asked a whole bunch of questions like how much sleep has he gotten and when he got poisoned .
"I haven't gotten sleep all night . The poison kept me up and eating food has made my stomach upset . "
'So he didn't get any sleep…' Xie Rong looked down and remembered they got the poppy seeds which can be used to help sleep . They didn't take much and for it to be of use to Gu Xiang, Xie Rong climbed down the tree to find 2 rocks and crushed the seeds into powder .
He brought it up with a cup of water and told Gu Xiang to drink it so he would be able to sleep .
"Are you sure it's fine? Wouldn't that mean you have to go back to get more?"
"It's fine . I'm a doctor in my village and your life is more important than the mission . We have to get more vulture hearts too, and they are in the area of those poppy seeds, since ours molded . "
So with the cup of water and the sleeping powder, Gu Xiang took it and has fallen asleep soundly .
