Chapter 1143 Seven Flavor Herbs
The main reason why Huang Tianba was able to make such rapid progress was that he was willing to take out a lot of cultivation resources to pave the way for them.
But last time I gritted my teeth and stored so much inventory here. Now, after hearing that I had consumed it, Huang Tianba couldn't help but feel nervous. He looked at Long Fei and laughed, "You didn't go to the mountain to ask the old man if you want it?"
"Senior has been in seclusion on the mountain, and I didn't dare to disturb me." Long Fei replied truthfully.
"This old guy is deliberately cheating me." Huang Tianba couldn't help but grit his teeth when he heard that he was in seclusion. This old guy must be studying alchemy again.
If he asked him to refine the elixir, it would not be impossible now. However, the problem is that he needs to refine the elixirs for cultivation. The medicinal materials needed are more troublesome. There are several medicinal materials, and he has no stock at all.
After thinking about it, Huang Tianba spoke out and said, "Wait for a while. I will take the time to travel to Central China. It should be enough for someone to collect some medicinal materials there."
Before, he went to Shaolin for the sake of King Kong. Huang Tianba met a powerful herb collector and asked the other party to help him find the medicinal materials he needed. Now a few months have passed, and news came from there some time ago that he had found a lot of medicinal materials that Huang Tianba needed, giving Huang Tianba the opportunity to go over and get it.
At this moment, the medicinal materials were gone, and the herb collector said that he had searched the site in the Baili Mountains and found many precious medicinal materials. However, due to the terrain, he could not pick them.
Huang Tianba also happened to go there in person to get back these precious medicinal materials, otherwise there wouldn't be much inventory of medicinal materials in his hand now, and this matter would be a troublesome thing.
After booking the air ticket, Huang Tianba took the plane early the next morning and flew to central China.
According to the address given by the herb collector Zhao Gao, when Huang Tianba took a taxi over, Zhao Gao happened to be drying the medicine at the door, and some of the herbs needed to be dried and preserved.
As a herb collector, he is also very experienced in handling medicinal materials, so whenever there is plenty of sunshine, he basically concentrates on the medicinal materials at home.
After Huang Tianba had already smelled a few medicinal herbs that he needed, he walked over with joy, looked at the medicinal herbs on the ground and began to count the names one by one, then looked up at Zhao Gao and smiled: "Yes, you kid didn't disappoint me. You have made so many medicinal herbs for me in a few months."
Zhao Gao was lowering his head and concentrating on making medicinal herbs, but he didn't notice that Huang Tianba was coming. After seeing Huang Tianba coming, he quickly stood up and looked respectfully at Huang Tianba and shouted: "Mr. Huang is here, why don't you say hello in advance, I can go and receive you."
The two of them never met again last time. However, in a few months, Huang Tianba sent him a few money, which was about five million. For him, the money was not a small amount. Those who could send him money with such a large amount naturally won his trust and respect.
"What's the point of getting around?" Huang Tianba smiled and shook his head, then walked to the medicinal materials on the ground, looked down and said, "These medicinal materials are all good years, and they are at least fifty years old. It seems that you have gained a lot in Baili Mountain."
When he was about to ask Zhao Gao if there were any other gains, he saw that Zhao Gao's face was slightly pale. He glanced at it and asked, "Why did you break two ribs?"
After Huang Tianba saw the injury at a glance, Zhao Gao was also slightly surprised. Then he said with guilt: "I was about to say this, but it was a bit difficult to say. Mr. Huang, you may not believe it. I went to Baili Mountain for almost a month ago. I had already made a large number of medicinal materials, but on the way back, I bumped into a wild beast and was attacked by the wild beast. All the medicinal materials were also snatched away by the wild beast."
Then he began to explain the details of the matter to Huang Tianba.
After listening to Zhao Gao's explanation, Huang Tianba was somewhat unexpected. Naturally, he would not doubt Zhao Gao's words. There was no need for Zhao Gao to lie to him specifically. After all, the more medicine he picked, the more money he could get from him. Doing such a thing would be of no benefit to him.
However, it is a miracle to survive by being attacked by wild animals in places like Baili Dashan. The beasts in these deep mountains and forests either do not appear, or they all appear in some tough characters, such as tiger bears and so on.
What surprised him even more was that the beast did not take his life, but instead snatched the medicinal materials. This made him feel a little lingering. He said, "What do you think the beast looks like? Pangolin?"
"Yes, yes, it looks like a pangolin, but his size is similar to a tiger, and it is more than one meter long. I have never seen this kind of creature before. After I came back, I checked it out and couldn't find out why. I fired at him with a hunting rifle, but the bullet couldn't cause any harm. He gently swept his tail and I fainted on the spot. Fortunately, the ghost thing didn't eat people, otherwise I would have died now." Zhao Gao was still in a state of fear when he spoke.
He is one of the most experienced herb collectors in Baili Mountain. He knows how to deal with some beasts when he encounters them. He should pretend to be dead and pretend to be dead when he should go up a tree. These are nothing.
But this was the first time he had hit this beast. It looked like a pangolin, but it was as big as a tiger, and it was extremely fast. When he realized it, the other party had already rushed to him and started attacking. At the last moment when he lost consciousness, he saw the other party leaving with the bamboo basket he used to hold herbs.
Huang Tianba's brows frowned. He had indeed seen some animals that ordinary people had never seen before. After all, he had even seen ghosts with his own eyes. It was normal for some rare beasts in this world that had not been discovered by the public. However, it was the first time he heard of this pangolin with a size of a tiger.
"It's enough if you haven't died. This is better than anything else. No matter how expensive herbs are, they are not as important as human life." Huang Tianba patted Zhao Gao's shoulder and said, "Just go back and reimburse me for the money for treatment in the hospital. I'll compensate you with another 100,000 yuan in nutritional expenses. Thank you very much this time. Speaking of which, is there anything particularly precious in the batch of medicinal materials you thrown out?"
After hearing Huang Tianba’s question, Zhao Gao quickly reported the names of the medicinal herbs, and then said, “Seven of them, which are more than two hundred years old, have been taken away. I don’t have any inventory of this thing here.”
