Chapter 181 Picking Medicine

"Are you sure you can refine it?" Yang Fan asked directly without explaining it.

Chu Zhongtian stared at him and sighed for a while: "Okay! This thing belongs to your family, you can do whatever you say. I can only watch you waste your resources... If you want to talk about whether you can refine it, I dare not say that you are sure. After all, all these pill recipes are yours, and I have never refined them. Moreover, such high-quality medicine really requires good medicinal materials to match. It is a waste to refine medicine like this, and there is no waste in the slightest."

Yang Fan frowned secretly, feeling a little bit long-winded. In fact, as long as he had tools, according to the memory of Changfeng, a strong man from another world, he should be able to refine it according to his copy. However, he had never seen the Chu family's alchemy furnace, and he didn't know how big the difference was.

Seeing him like this, Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "Let's do it! Let's divide it into three steps. The first step is to use ordinary medicinal materials to refine medicines based on your pill recipe, familiarize yourself with the steps, experience the success rate, and the final effect; the second step is to collect and find auxiliary drugs worthy of this old ginseng, and be sure to achieve the best effect! Just having the best engine but with a few broken tires will not make a good car!"

Seeing that he knew how to use a car to make an example, Yang Fan couldn't help but smile: "What you said makes sense."

"When I was sure, I collected the medicines for supplements as much as possible. Finally, it was the third key step for us to start alchemy." Chu Zhongtian said his plan seriously.

There is only one ginseng for hundreds of years, and Yang Fan doesn’t want to waste it. If you get familiar with it first, he can watch it or operate it himself, and immediately nodded and agreed: "In terms of medicinal materials, you can try to spare more. How much does it cost, I will let them send it!"

Chu Zhongtian did not be polite to him, closed his eyes and calculated roughly: "You can get 200,000 yuan!"

"good."

Seeing that Yang Fan agreed without saying a word, Chu Zhongtian looked at him with a little surprise: "I'm talking about 200,000, not 20,000!"

"No problem." Yang Fan agreed calmly.

"Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you for money? How to cheat you?" Chu Zhongtian couldn't help asking. "And... young man, even if it's your family, this is not a small amount. Let's discuss it with the adults!"

Yang Fan smiled and said, "If I can't even do this, I won't let me come! As for the prescription for cheating money, I believe you completely! This is not to say good things, nor is it because the Yang family is sorry for you. But I believe this is also a rare achievement for you in your life! Don't say I curse you. Maybe you will never have the determination to refine better elixirs in your life. So although you say I'm wasting your natural resources, you are actually very eager to participate in the refining of medicines!"

Chu Zhongtian's old face turned red and he was a little embarrassed: "Since you are so clear, I can explain it clearly. This 200,000 is not something I want from you, and I will contribute some of my own treasured medicines. But if I want to get the things that others have treasured, I have to spend money, and I have to go there myself. In short, I will do my best to get the best!"

"I'll go with you!" Yang Fan heard what he meant. There should be more than one place to go, and it must be more than the local area of ​​Rongqiu City. It depends on his age. Don't have an accident then.

Chu Zhongtian laughed: "Don't worry! Although I am an old man, I am still energetic. It's okay to go out. The reason why I have to go there in person is that in addition to identifying it personally, I don't want to call people and ask for information, which has caused too many people to know."

He was still very proud of his health, but then he thought of the excuse he had for the Yang family that he was not feeling well and could not travel far, so he asked Chu Xinkui to take the prescription to Yancheng. Now this is not the same as admitting to Yang Fan that he was lying before?

He looked at Yang Fan and saw that Yang Fan had not noticed it, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he immediately changed the topic: "You won't be idle either, you have important tasks for you! The medicinal materials I can get are limited, and some need to be picked up now!"

"Collection now? Do you want me to collect herbs?" Yang Fan was a little surprised.

"Isn't this what you said? The best medicinal materials are before picking them. Although I don't agree with your concept now, I have retained some medicinal materials before, some of which can still grow and still be kept. I let them continue to grow, and some of them were even transplanted from me. Until now, it has been at least decades." Chu Zhongtian said proudly, which seemed to fully demonstrate that he is not a greedy person.

"Okay." Yang Fan nodded and agreed. Perhaps in traditional Chinese medicine, there are really dried medicinal materials that make medicinal juices better than fresh ones, but for him, they are more alive and contain more essence of plant life.

"Of course you can't know about that place. You want Xiaokui to take you there. But Xiaokui is a girl, and this is your business. You have to put in some effort. I think you are in good health, so you can at least help with some hard work like memorizing things!"

"..." Yang Fan was speechless. It turned out that he was not even a medicine boy, he was a medicine boy's coolie!

...

Since he had arrived at the Chu family, he had made a plan straightforward arrangement. The matter was not in a hurry, so Yang Fan lived in the Chu family first. The next day, he walked around the village and ate and drank for a day. Many people in the village thought that this was the boyfriend brought back by Chu Xinkui. Many people came here to visit it on excuses, which made Yang Fan very uncomfortable.

On the third day, Chu Zhongtian had made arrangements, and he would have his son to accompany him to go out, and Yang Fan and Chu Xinkui would also bring tools and dry food to collect herbs.

Yang Fan thought he would have set off like the one he performed on TV, carrying a bamboo basket, a medicine hoe, and a straw hat. Unexpectedly, Chu Xinkui had very modern and fashionable hiking shoes, hiking bags, etc. He was not prepared and temporarily borrowed Chu Xinkui's hiking shoes for him.

The things he needed to carry were mainly water and dry food. When he went out to the mountain, he would not be able to come back soon. He would go out early in the morning and come back at the earliest in the evening. They wanted to have lunch on the mountain, and the two of them also needed at least 4 or 5 liters of water. Before leaving, Yang Fan took the bags of the two of them and found that although Chu Zhongtian asked him to do the hard work, Chu Xinkui had packed up the weight of the two of them. He immediately took all the water and tools inside.

Chu Xinkui was not easy to attack him, so she did not refuse, but said that she would have to carry it when she came back.

According to Chu Xinkui's understanding, people like Yang Fan who grew up in big cities, even if they exercise regularly, they still exercise in the gym. When they encounter such a rugged mountain road, they still have to walk with loads, and they will definitely be exhausted soon.

But unexpectedly, after walking with her, she crossed several mountains, she was very breathless when she climbed the mountain and collected herbs since she was a child, but Yang Fan was still calm!

"Brother Yang, I really didn't expect you... to be so awesome!" Chu Xinkui praised sincerely after stopping to rest and drinking water.

"It's okay." Yang Fan smiled faintly, and he recalled the past when he was chased by the eternal stream into the primeval forest of "Luoyanchuan".

That time, he had a knife wound on his waist, his legs and Wan Guliu were shattered head-on, and he was hit by a palm containing internal strength. Under such severe injuries, in order to escape, he was chased and killed by Wan Guliu for dozens of miles. Compared to that time, what is the purpose of walking on a mountain road like this? Not to mention that he is much stronger now, and it is not difficult to adjust his breath.

"Hehe, it's not that simple! Everyone will come here. The place we want to go is still far away! And from the beginning, there are basically no roads. I also have to walk slowly based on my memory. There are many places that need to be careful, and there are dangers." After Chu Xinkui said that, she identified the direction and took him back on the road.

Although she said there was danger, it was only a few places. Moreover, she grew up in the mountains, and she was more agile than athletes, so she could basically get through easily. Yang Fan didn't need her help. Not only did she follow her steadily, but she was also ready to protect her at all times.

It was not until noon that the sun was in the sky that Chu Xinkui stopped.

"Our destination is not far away!" She went over and helped Yang Fan take down the mountaineering bag and took out the dry food from it: "Let's eat something first, rest and recover our energy before going over. It's a little difficult there."

Following her fingers, Yang Fan saw a cliff, with unfathomable cliffs below and a mountain cliff above, but there was only a widest part of only two feet, and the narrow part was even about one foot protruding.

"We will go around there later!" Chu Xinkui explained: "There are few people coming here in this area. It is very dangerous and almost no one comes here. Grandpa was brave when he was young and found that there were some precious medicinal materials inside. Later, when he was picking, he also transplanted them one after another. It can be regarded as a mini medicine garden in the wild!"

"Your grandpa is really bold!" Yang Fan couldn't help but praise him. He would naturally not be scared now, but he would definitely not dare to take risks before.

Chu Xinkui shared the food he brought with him and continued: "It was my grandfather's first time taking the risk. After that, he would bring a rope long enough. Tie the big stone at this end and then go over again. Even if he makes a mistake, he will fall and will not fall down. He will have a chance to climb up."

Yang Fan was silent and thought that Old Man Chu had been taking risks! Only then did he understand why there was a mountaineering rope in the mountaineering bag.

After eating and chatting, after a while, Chu Xinkui began to go over and fix the climbing rope, then tied it around her waist.

"Brother Yang, I'll go there first. After untiing the rope, you can pull it over and tie it up before coming over!" She said, untiing it and covering it up for him.

Yang Fan hesitated for a moment. He wanted to go there first, but it wouldn't help if he went there first. Although he could protect her in time, it would definitely put a lot of psychological pressure on her, which would be bad. So he nodded and agreed.

Chu Xinkui gave him an encouragement smile, and then began to walk towards the cliff that was about a foot wide...
