Entering the mountains with Xia Qing, the two looked for the herbs on the paper given by the old man.

Xia Yi just took a glance and understood the information about the herb. He had seen this herb in the [Xia Family's Pharmaceutical Manual].

By the way, this kind of meeting a villager and then receiving a request from a herbalist is a bit familiar!

Such tasks often appear in the game.

However, the old man didn't tell himself what the reward would be for finding the herb.

By the way, I was dragged here by Xia Qing.

"Are you in charge of herbal medicine in the village?" Xia Yi asked Xia Qing.

Xia Qing, who was walking in front, said without looking back: "I am responsible for watching over children like you who are going through the awakening ceremony."

"So this is voluntary labor?" Xia Yi asked curiously.

Xia Qing's face turned around, her face also full of curiosity.

After staring at Xia Yi for a while, the girl frowned: "Don't you want to help? My dad took such good care of you when he was a child, and he couldn't even ask you to help even once?"

What, that old man is actually your dad!

Xia Yi was shocked in his heart. He touched the paper bag in his pocket. In the paper bag was the medicine given by the old man to help him feel happy.

Is that old man so cruel to his daughter?

But now was not the time to be surprised. Xia Yi immediately explained to Xia Qing, saying that he was just a little curious about why Xia Qing was so obedient.

Under Xia Yi's explanation, Xia Qing's mood stabilized.

Opening the [Heroine Handbook], Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xia Qing's favorability level was still 69 and had not decreased.

He and Xia Qing continued walking towards the mountains.

While walking, Xia Yi thought: The old man looks to be seventy or eighty years old, and Xia Qing has just reached adulthood. In other words, did the old man have Xia Qing when he was forty or fifty?

Xia Yi also thought about it, the older you get, the more risky it is to have a child, not only for the mother, but also for the father. For example, if you do it halfway...

However, the old man is a doctor, and this world is a world of occultism, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Xia Yi couldn't help but think about herself, what will she look like when she reaches the age of seventy or eighty?

An image of an old man with white hair and a girl of eighteen or nineteen walking into the hotel flashed in his mind.

Somewhat difficult to accept.

He remembered a potion he saw in the [Xia Family's Pharmaceutical Handbook].

It was a kind of medicine called elixir, and its effect was to prevent people from aging.

But it just won't age, and you will still die when the time comes.

Demon slayers are just humans with power. They will die if they should. The improvement of strength will not increase the lifespan unless they no longer become human.

While Xia Yi was thinking, Xia Qing poked Xia Yi's waist: "I'll go this way, you go there!"

The girl has found a place that agrees with the growing conditions of the herbs on the paper.

Before three o'clock, the two found six herbs and returned to the village.

After teaching the herbal medicine to the old man, Xia Yi simulated the sound of completing the task in his mind.

He thought that he and Xia Qing could leave once they got here, but Xia Qing held him back.

"What medicine are you going to make?" Xia Qing asked the old man.

"It's a medicine for dealing with souls. It's needed by the clan. Do you want to take a look?"

Xia Yi didn't want to stand aside and watch a bad old man dispense medicine, but Xia Qing was very interested and he knew enough to stay.

The old man first lit a small fire and set up a shelf, then took the herbs he had just received and ground them into powder in a container.

He drew a circle with the unknown black liquid next to the fire, muttered something, and then threw the powder into the fire.

Xia Yi's original impatient mood slowly disappeared, and he looked at the old man's actions.

In [Easy-to-understand Poison Making Basics], the preparation techniques are taught, while in [Xia Family's Pharmaceutical Handbook], common prescriptions and some precautions are recorded.

Neither book mentions that rituals are needed to prepare potions.

The old man put an unknown liquid and other ingredients into the container on the fire, but a minute later, a ball of sparks appeared, and the preparation of the potion failed.

"Exorcism potion?" From the materials, Xia Yi judged that the potion prepared by the old man was recorded in the [Xia Family's Pharmaceutical Manual].

"Have you seen it?" The old man looked at Xia Yi in surprise.

At the same time, Xia Qing's eyes also turned around.

Xia Yi knew that the favorability-boosting event had been triggered, and it was time for him to show off.

However, he can talk about it on paper, but if he wants to put it into practice...

Xia Yi thought of one of his skills again, [Humoral Medicine], but this only requires magic power to use.

"I haven't awakened my bloodline yet, so I can't use the magic power. Otherwise, I can try adjusting it." He showed a regretful expression.

"The effect of this magic circle is to temporarily store the magic power on it for use when making medicine." Xia Qing looked at Xia Yi, "You can go up and try it."

From Xia Qing's eyes, Xia Yi couldn't tell what kind of emotions she was holding.

He looked at the pattern on the table again:

Is this magic circle so convenient? Unfortunately, I will undergo the awakening ceremony soon. After I can use the magic power, this magic circle will be of little use.

Coming to the pharmaceutical table, Xia Yi put all the ingredients together and threw them into the pot.

This is an extremely unprofessional act. The timing and order of placing the materials are fixed. If they are all thrown together, there is no chance of success.

But Xia Qing didn't say anything. In normal life, when others who have little to do with you feel that you are going to do something that will fail, they will not jump out to remind you or ridicule you, but will look at you coldly.

fail.

After throwing in the materials, Xia Yi took out the "blood-stained dagger" from the "backpack" and cut his wrist.

Bright red blood flowed into the pot.

After the blood covered the material, Xia Yi used [Heal] to heal the wound, and then placed his hand on the magic circle on the stage. He cleared the fire and placed the pot alone in the magic circle.

His blood glowed dark red, and it squirmed as if it was alive, wrapping and swallowing the materials in the pot bit by bit.

A minute later, a small pot of light red translucent liquid appeared in front of Xia Yi.

The old man took the small pot, dipped the leaves next to it into the potion, and observed it carefully.

"It's a good soul-expelling medicine." He looked at Xia Yi again, "I didn't expect that Young Master Xia Yi actually has special medicinal abilities."

The old man's eyes became eager, but Xia Qing's eyes did not change at all.

This made Xia Yi a little disappointed.

In low spirits, she and Xia Qing left the medicine house together, and the two returned to Xia Yi's house.

Lying on the recliner, Xia Yi clicked on the [Heroine Handbook]. Xia Qing's favorability level was now 75 points.

Women are indeed drama queens.

With this level of favorability, you should be able to enter the girl's home.
