Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 565

Chapter 565 Healing Berries

Fang Xing roared angrily, and the herbalist was so scared that the sickle in his hand dropped to the ground.

He pounced on the herbalist, knocked him down, and carried him away.

“this……”

Another herbalist who had a back injury looked confused.

Originally, he discovered the old ginseng first, but was stabbed in the back by his companion. He felt that he would die today.

But he didn’t expect that he would encounter a tiger and it would carry the man away?

“Thank you, Grandpa Shanjun. Thank you, Grandpa Shanjun!”

The herbalist quickly kowtowed in the direction Fang Xing left.

According to folklore in this area, the mountain king has the ability to “punish evil.”

rustle!

Not long after, footsteps were heard.

The herbalist looked and saw a young man wearing animal skins, and he shouted, “Help! Help!”

“What’s wrong with you?”

Fang Xing came over, looking curious.

“Alas, it’s all my fault for meeting the wrong person… Is this little brother a mountain dweller? Be careful, there’s a mountain lion nearby…”

The herbalist quickly informed him of what had just happened.

“I see… That tiger is fair and just, and only eats evil people. It shouldn’t eat me… Do you have any salt? I have medicine for treatment, I can exchange it with you.”

Fang Xing spoke.

“Yes, there is.”

The herbalist was overjoyed and quickly took out a small bag of salt from his arms.

Fang Xing took it and saw that the salt was black and yellow. It was obviously inedible without filtering and purification.

He didn’t care and handed over a bunch of berries: “This is spiritual fruit, you can eat it…”

The herbalist was obviously a little suspicious, but there was nothing he could do at this point, so he threw the purple berry into his mouth.

Oddly enough, after taking just one pill, the bleeding on his back slowed down noticeably.

After eating a few more, the bleeding finally stopped.

“Hmm, it seems that this kind of purple berry is most suitable for making wound medicine…”

Fang Xing saw this scene and thought to himself.

He was using the injured herbalist as an experiment.

Many herbs in nature are natural medicinal materials with hemostatic and therapeutic effects.

He found a kind of purple berry, and when he used the talent of ‘plant growth’ to ripen it, and then injected the essence of plants into it, he could get a batch of ‘healing berries’.

Although this berry has a short shelf life and can only treat minor injuries, the key is that it is free…

“Besides, taking a few more at a time has a good effect. At least my life was saved…”

“It can be taken out as a flagship product.”

Since Fang Xing has decided to go to the Sanxiu Market, he must prepare some goods.

However, those related to the Blood Shadow Sect must not be taken out.

It just so happens that he can disguise himself as an excellent spiritual plant husband and ensure that he has no connection with the Blood Shadow Sect.

“Thank you for the rescue, little brother!”

The herbalist knew that his life was saved. His face turned pale and he struggled to express his gratitude.

“Oh, by the way, where is this place? Which is the nearest city?”

Fang Xing asked a few questions casually, then immediately disappeared into the jungle.

“How come this mountain boy doesn’t even know where the area is? No, is he really a mountain boy?”

Thinking of the fruit that the other party had brought out, which would stop bleeding immediately if he ate it, the herbalist’s eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: “So it’s Grandpa Mountain God… Thank you Grandpa Mountain God for saving me.”

……

After Fang Xing left, he naturally went to interrogate the other herbalist again.

The herbalist was already frightened, especially after seeing Fang Xing transform from a tiger into a human, he answered every question.

The answers of both of them are the same.

If the answer is wrong or inconsistent, Fang Xing will take drastic measures and kill the two herbalists together.

“You hurt someone behind his back. Your behavior is truly despicable. I will sentence you to death.”

After the interrogation, he slapped the herbalist at random, causing him to die with bleeding from all seven orifices.

At this time, Fang Xing looked at the attribute column:

[After many attempts, you developed ‘healing berries’ from ‘plant growth’! ]

“Unfortunately, killing creatures does not bring any experience.”

As Fang Xing walked away, he recalled the information he had obtained before:
the nearest city here was ‘Dunyun City’, which was under the jurisdiction of ‘Feixian Palace’.

“I don’t even know how far I’ve run. Now it seems that I’ve already run out of the Blood Shadow Sect’s sphere of influence?”

Moreover, he would soon be far away from this place, so he chose to rescue the injured herbalist.

I believe that before long, the legends of the ‘Mountain King’ and the ‘Mountain God’ will gradually spread here.

……

Yunlaifang Market.

This market town is located at the junction of the Corpse Driving Sect, Qingmuling, and Feijian Sect. It is a no-man’s land and gathers many independent cultivators.

Also, because it is located on a major road, many businesses have opened warehouses here, and business is very prosperous every day.

This day.

A young man dressed in animal skins walked slowly over, glanced at the most basic formations around the market town, and walked into the market town gate.

“No fighting is allowed in the market town!”

“Both the money and the goods have been paid!”

The cultivator patrolling at the door gave a warning and then watched Fang Xing walk into the market.

“Well, it does seem a bit like a cultivation market…”

Fang Xing looked at the independent cultivators who were setting up stalls on the roadside.

He had already found out before coming here that people were free to enter and leave Yunlai Market, but if they wanted to set up a stall, they had to pay a stall fee, one talisman coin a day!
If they didn’t have talisman coins, they could only use other spiritual objects to offset the fees.

He used a fifty-year-old Polygonatum sibiricum as collateral and asked the market manager for a yellow tablecloth with a few crooked symbols on it.

This is his stall.

Fang Xing opened the tablecloth and placed on it the herbs that he had occasionally obtained.

Of course, the most abundant ones are the ‘healing berries’!
“How much do you sell these fruits for?”

Before long, several curious wandering cultivators came over and looked at the bunches of purple berries.

“Healing berries, eat one to heal your wounds… one berry for each!”

Fang Xing spoke.

“One by one, one talisman money?”

The inquiring cultivator frowned and said, “What about this 90-year-old ginseng?”

“This isn’t just ninety years old, it’s an authentic century-old mountain ginseng…” Fang Xing shook his head, seeing the other party’s intention to lower the price: “I won’t sell it for less than ten talisman coins…”

“It’s so expensive.”

The casual cultivator who had asked the price earlier shook his head and turned away.

Fang Xing was not in a hurry and sat leisurely.

Next to him, an old man who was also setting up a stall glanced at him, then looked away. He was wearing a jute robe, took out the wine gourd from his waist and took a sip.

Fang Xing smiled. When he saw the old man, he somehow thought of Immortal Luo Yun.

After all, both parties are wine lovers.

It’s a pity that the opponent had been hit by the Heavenly Demon Transformation and died.

‘The Dao Master has fallen, and there are also the Dao Court, the Demon Master, and the Demon Master… Write them down in a small notebook first, and solve them one by one in the future.’

Fang Xing said secretly.

“Hey, young man, do you like my wine?”

The old man took a sip of the wine in the gourd, then let out a long sigh of satisfaction. He then stroked his goatee to clean up the spilled wine.

After doing all this, he boasted, “This is a gourd of ‘monkey wine’ that I spent a lot of effort to get. The monkeys in the mountains are best at collecting fruits and brewing monkey wine… If I put it out to sell, I won’t even raise my eyelids if the gourd is less than five talisman coins…”

“The old man is amazing.”

Fang Xing answered perfunctorily: “May I know your last name?”

“No need to use the surname Lu, you can just call me Old Lu…”

Old Lu glanced and said, “Brother, are these herbs on your stall grown by yourself?”

“That’s right…”

Fang Xing nodded: “In my studies, I have dabbled in planting…”

“So you are from a family of cultivators. I am so disrespectful…”

Old Lu immediately became more serious and bowed.

Although I know that those who can come here are basically independent cultivators, there are definitely differences between independent cultivators.

He has the skill of cultivating spiritual plants and may also have the support of his family, which makes him more well-connected than the average casual cultivator.

“Excuse me for being blunt, but your other herbs are fine, but this ‘healing berry’… is unheard of. Other Taoist friends may not be willing to buy it.”

Old Lu said.

“My berries take effect immediately after eating, and can be taken multiple times…”

Fang Xing’s face turned red with anxiety: “This is a secret of our family. If you don’t believe me, buy one and try it!”

“Okay, I’ll buy one.”

Old Lu smiled and handed over a yellow coin.

Fang Xing took it and found that the talisman money was very light. It should be made of some special talisman paper folded together.

There is also a magical power stored in the talisman paper.

To be able to serve as a general equivalent in the world of cultivation, it must have its own special features.

“This talisman paper seems to be able to be used to practice the ‘Origami Secret Art’. Although the effect may be worse than blood paper, it is better than using ordinary paper…”

“Also, it seems that a stream of pure mana has been injected into it. Although it cannot be used to improve cultivation, it can make up for consumption, activate formations, etc….”

“Sure enough, the general equivalents in the world of cultivation must also have a certain value?”

Fang Xing only took a glance and saw the details of the talisman money. Seeing that Old Lu was holding a purple berry and observing it carefully, he couldn’t help but smile and said, “My healing berries are quite effective, but remember, they can’t be crushed or rotten… If they are left for too long and the fruit rots, then they will have no effect.”

“Um.”

Old Lu nodded absentmindedly, then suddenly pulled out a dagger from his bosom and cut a bloody mark on the back of his hand.

Then, he ate the healing berry and watched the wound on his hand quickly stop bleeding and recover… In the end, only a white mark was left.

“It’s a good thing… It doesn’t have any poison and it works immediately. It’s a pity that it can’t be stored for a long time. Otherwise, it would be comparable to those high-level healing elixirs.”

Old Lu sighed.

“Hehe, if it can really be stored for a long time, how can those big shots above sit still? We can just get some low-end stuff and earn some hard-earned money that others don’t value…”

Fang Xing chuckled.

“You are quite insightful, kid… Did you set up a stall next to me on purpose?”

Old Lu spoke with some suspicion.
