Chapter 41 - Taming Pills
Chapter 41 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God" introduces new challenges: The two of them feasted for more than an hour, and what was once a... Keep following!
The two of them feasted for more than an hour, and what was once a pot filled to the brim with meat had now been reduced to but a smattering of tiny bits.
By this time, Chen Yangâs belly was already round and full.
Wu Kexin, though not as exaggerated as Chen Yang, was also very full!
If not for the limited capacity of her small stomach, she could have eaten several more bowls!
âItâs really delicious.
It looks like breeding could definitely lead somewhere; with this flavor, it could sell for a pretty penny in the city,â said Wu Kexin, with her mind still on the breeding business they had discussed that afternoon, after having satiated her appetite.
It was clear that Wu Kexin was taking this matter to heart.
âGame meat is a viable avenue; as long as we can get it off the ground, there will never be a shortage of demand,â Chen Yang replied.
âMm-hmm!
Youâre absolutely right, Iâll have to make a detailed plan when I get back!â Wu Kexin nodded in agreement.
Having eaten their fill, the two lay down to rest for a while before Wu Kexin suddenly stood up to say goodbye.
âThen let me walk you home.
Itâs late and the village doesnât have streetlights,â Chen Yang offered gallantly.
Wu Kexin naturally would not refuse such a proposal from Chen Yang and nodded her assent.
So, under the cover of night, Chen Yang walked Wu Kexin back to the village center.
Without any housing available in the village, only the village center was vacant, so Wu Kexin, the village chief, could only stay in some empty rooms there.
âThank you, Chen Yang, todayâs wolf meat was delicious!
And thanks for accompanying me into the mountains today to understand the situation in Liuhe Village,â Wu Kexin expressed her gratitude to Chen Yang for his assistance upon returning to the village center.
Chen Yang nonchalantly waved his hand, âWeâre from the same village; no need to be so formal.
If thereâs anything else you need help with in the future, just ask and Iâll be there!
Consider it my contribution to our village.â
âAlright, I truly appreciate it then.â
Wu Kexin smiled faintly, feeling a strong fondness for Chen Yang.
âUm, well, I should be going then, Village Chief.
You should get some rest early,â said Chen Yang as he waved and turned to head home.
Watching Chen Yang walk away, Wu Kexin also turned to go back to her room.
After walking Wu Kexin home, Chen Yang headed straight back to his place and then went to the backyard to feed the rabbits and the wild chickens.
Seeing the little animals obediently eating in their cowshed and pigsty, Chen Yang was very happy.
At the same time, he was pondering whether he could use the 220,000 yuan he had on hand to expand the scale of breeding.
After all, he wanted to start a breeding farm, and judging by Wu Kexinâs intentions today, she also wanted to use animal breeding to help make Liuhe Village prosperous.
Why shouldnât he take the lead in the village, especially with the support of the village chief like Wu Kexin, and start breeding in advance?
As he mulled over this, Chen Yang returned to his room and lay on his bed.
His gaze fixed on the ceiling, he kept thinking.
âStarting a breeding farm is easy, but the difficulty lies in the technology!
If I want to learn breeding techniques, I wonât be able to master them quickly!
This is a problem!â
âMoreover, if I am to breed, I want to breed wild animals like wild rabbits and wild chickens and maintain their wild nature.
Thatâs where our competitive edge lies.â
âHowever, managing wild animals is very challenging, and these creatures simply wonât listen to you.
Thatâs an important point.â
Chen Yang muttered some of the challenges with breeding as he racked his brains for solutions.
But despite pondering for a long while, he couldnât come up with a solution.
âLetâs take a look at the Medicine Kingâs Scripture.
Maybe thereâs something like obedient pills that can help me manage these wild animals,â Chen Yang closed his eyes, flipping through the Medicine Kingâs Scripture in his mind.
Originally, Chen Yang was simply trying his luck by checking the scripture.
But to his surprise, he really did find a kind of pill in the Medicine Kingâs Scripture that could make animals obedient after consumption!
This pill was called the Domestication Pill, made from dozens of relatively common herbs, and was not hard to produce!
Once wild animals consumed it, they would become understanding and obedient!
Learning this, Chen Yang nearly leapt from the bed in excitement!
âIâll try this pill out tomorrow.
If it works, then Iâm definitely starting a breeding farm!â Chen Yang said with excitement.
Chen Yang lay in bed excited for a while until he went to the bathhouse for another bath to finally cool down.
But just as he calmed down, in a hidden corner of the bathhouse, the sight of two pieces of pristine white clothing hanging there sent his blood racing againâŚ
They were two pieces of private, white clothing with lace edges!
Chen Yang, being curious, couldnât help but lean in and take a sniff.
The scent they carried told him theyâd been left by Wu KexinâŚ
âRight, it rained heavily today, and the underwear would definitely have gotten wet.
There was nowhere to put them when showering, so they were left here and then forgotten when leaving,â Chen Yang reasoned why the garments were there, and he couldnât help taking another couple of sniffs.
Not until he felt he might become a pervert if he continued like this did he reluctantly leave the bathhouse, hanging the two pieces of clothing up with his own to dry.
After all this, Chen Yang returned to bed, lay down, and quickly fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Yang immediately slung a basket on his back, picked up a small hoe, and went into the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs to prepare the concoction of the taming pill.
This pill was crucial, as it related to whether he could become rich in the future!
Naturally, he had to put his all into it!
Chen Yang ventured into the mountains and began searching for all the herbs needed to make the taming pill. S~eaĘá´h the NovŃlĆire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Though dozens of herbs were needed to create the taming pill, the main herb was one called Spiritual Yuan Grass.
This herb was the most important ingredient in the taming pill!
So today, Chen Yangâs main purpose in going into the mountains was to find the Spiritual Yuan Grass!
Chen Yang set out early in the morning and searched around the perimeter of the mountain for over two hours!
More than a dozen auxiliary herbs had already been harvested, but the Spiritual Yuan Grass was nowhere to be seen, which worried Chen Yang greatly.
âSpiritual Yuan Grass is the main part of the taming pill.
Without this herb, the pill simply canât be made!â Chen Yang furrowed his brows and continued searching in the deep mountains.
After what seemed like another hour or so, Chen Yang finally found a stalk of Spiritual Yuan Grass by a small stream in the mountain!
It was a tall blade of green grass that looked like a simple weed, but in Chen Yangâs eyes, it was a money-making plant!
Seeing the Spiritual Yuan Grass from afar, Chen Yang quickly strode up and picked it.
âIâve searched all morning!
Finally found one!â Holding the Spiritual Yuan Grass in hand, Chen Yangâs face lit up with a smile, and he began the journey back to the village.
He couldnât wait to go back and make the taming pill, then test its effectiveness.
Chen Yang rushed back from the mountain, and by the time he arrived home, it was already midday.
Chen Yang, who hadnât eaten breakfast, was already starving with his stomach growling, but he ignored it!
He prepared all the ingredients, sat down on the floor of the inner room, and began making the taming pill.
After the processes of refining, combining, and making were complete, more than ten mung bean-sized dark brown pills appeared in Chen Yangâs hands.
Looking at the small pills in his hand, Chen Yangâs smile was so wide he couldnât close his mouth.
âIâll catch a wild chicken to test it first!â Chen Yang stood up, charged to the pigpen in the backyard, and selected the weakest wild chicken for the experiment.
The captured wild chicken wouldnât stop clucking, flapping its wings incessantly.
Chen Yang forcefully pinned it between his armpits and with one hand prised open its mouth to stuff in the pill he had already prepared.
The tiny pill slid down the throat smoothly.
The wild chicken, upon ingesting the taming pill, trembled for a moment and then instantly calmed down, no longer fluttering around like it had been.
Though the effects seemed to have started showing, Chen Yang didnât release the wild chicken right away, choosing to hold on to it for a little longer just in case.
After waiting for about ten more minutes, Chen Yang tentatively put the wild chicken down and, looking quite melodramatic, he pointed at it and said, âDonât leave this yard!â
The wild chicken landed without any reaction, but it also didnât escape frantically.
Instead, it walked around the yard like an ordinary household chicken, looking for bugs to eat.
âIâll come back tonight to see if it really hasnât left the yard.
If it hasnât, that means my taming pill works!â
With that, Chen Yang no longer paid attention to the wild chicken and returned to the inner room to cook for himself.
After a busy day, Chen Yang was very hungry.
At this point, he wasnât in the mood to cook for himself, so he just fished out the leftover wolf meat from yesterday and ate that.
