Chapter 338 Shennong’s Crystal Belly!
In the blink of an eye, Shennong's quasi-saint-level Taoist deeds vanished into thin air and he completely turned into a mortal. It was just like when Shennong used his merits to improve his cultivation level. This cultivation level came and went easily.
The power in his body was enough to tear the world apart, the earth-shaking power dissipated, his body became heavy again, and the constraints that the world could only see returned to him again.
The surrounding feelings have also become obscured, and the immortal consciousness has degraded, and it is no longer able to survey hundreds of millions of miles in a single thought like before.
Shennong moved his body slowly, with a look of pity on his face, but his eyes remained firm!
The original intention of tasting the herbs myself is to identify the vegetation around the human race and understand the functions of these vegetations, whether they are edible, poisonous or harmful, and whether they have other functions.
All of this is based on ordinary tribesmen, and he does this for ordinary tribesmen. There are not many quasi-sages in the human race, and these unknown plants and trees cannot poison quasi-sages.
If he retains his quasi-sage cultivation that reaches heaven and earth, there is no need to taste these herbs.
It is this vast body of cultivation that is originally achieved through merit improvement. This waste, I don’t know how much merit is wasted to upgrade a mortal to the quasi-sage level. The merit consumed is equivalent to a perfect level of merit gold. Got pregnant.
It is better to use these merits in the clan than to waste them in vain.
Shennong's face was full of pity, but his eyes were still firm. It was a pity to waste so much merit, but it was nothing compared to tasting the herbs himself. Only by understanding the purpose of the plants and letting them be used by the human race could is the most important thing.
To put it bluntly, my own merits are just the discovery of four edible plants, the invention of agricultural tools for planting, and the refining of firewood coins. This is how I have such merits. If I can indicate the efficacy of the surrounding vegetation, then It is truly a great merit!
No one knows how many good things are hidden in these unknown vegetation!
That's right, in addition to the merits of the four types of grains and the casting of fire coins, Shen Nong also invented the first agricultural tools of the human race for cultivating grains. God has once again sent down merits.
Shennong came back to his senses, looked and felt his body, and his face wrinkled again. With his current mortal body, he was afraid that he would be poisoned to death if he couldn't taste a few herbs.
Shen Nong's face was solemn. If he didn't say anything else, he would just eat the grass in front of him by himself. Without the protection of his cultivation, he would die here.
As Shen Nong's thoughts fell, suddenly, a mighty force poured into Shen Nong's body. Shen Nong was stunned on the spot for a moment. When he looked up, he saw that at some point, there was a golden cloud floating above his head, which contained a hidden meaning. Incomparably pure power.
Shennong was stunned, what is this?
What Shen Nong didn't know was that when Shen Nong left his cultivation just now, all his Taoism had vanished into thin air and turned into endless spiritual energy that spewed out, nourishing the world around him.
However, these are just the mana stored in Shennong's body. The quasi-sage cultivates Taoism and understands the great way. For the quasi-sage, mana is just incidental. The realm and enlightenment are still there. There is as much mana as you need. These are the The key to Shennong’s strength!
Likewise, these are also the keys to gathering merit in the first place.
And with the key to Shennong's Dao realm, these cultivations turned into merits again, gathering on Shennong's head. Just like Qingyun, they neither merged into Shennong's body nor dissipated, but kept gathering on Shennong's head.
Shennong lost his cultivation and became a mortal. His five senses deteriorated and his immortal consciousness disappeared. Naturally, he could not realize that there was still such an auspicious cloud of merit and virtue above his head.
However, as Shen Nong's mind changed, the auspicious clouds of merit and virtue in the sky above Shen Nong poured into Shen Nong's body like a funnel, and the power of creation surged into Shen Nong's body.
When Shen Nong saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment. It was not until all the auspicious clouds of merit and virtue disappeared into Shen Nong's body and a sense of enlightenment arose in his mind that Shen Nong came back to his senses.
Then Shennong raised his hands to the sky, with a gentle smile on his face.
As the auspicious clouds of merit and virtue entered his body, Shen Nong also understood the causes and consequences of all this. It turns out that merit and virtue are gifts from heaven, and are rewards from heaven and earth to people with great virtues. They cannot be abolished just because they are within the prehistoric territory. , this merit is useful and cannot be wasted!
However, this part of Shennong's merit has evolved into cultivation, and it cannot be integrated into Shennong's body again to form a golden body of merit. No, to be precise, it is a merit Qingyun, because now Shennong still has a golden body of merit to protect his body, and it is still perfect. Level of merit and gold body.
The previous discovery of the merits of corn allowed Shennong to condense a complete golden body of merits, and there are still merits left. The subsequent invention of three grains, the invention of agricultural tools, and the merits of casting fire coins have already allowed Shennong to possess it again. Received a perfect golden body of merit!
Ever since, these merits have been hanging over Shen Nong's head. It was not until new ideas appeared in Shen Nong's mind that these merits were integrated into Shen Nong's body again.
The law of heaven is sovereign, and if your merits are yours, they will always be yours. Even if it is you, you cannot easily get rid of them.
Shennong looked at his belly with a smile, and saw that his belly had turned into a transparent crystal belly, and his internal organs could be seen at a glance. There were also invisible vitality running in it to ensure the normal operation of the body.
Next to the heart, in the center of the belly, there is a small golden elixir suspended in it, filled with this rich life essence. This is the result of the remaining merit, and it is the purest power of the origin of life, which can create creation. All things, life and death, flesh and bones, longevity, reverse life and death!
With this mass of life essence, even if he is a mortal, he can still taste all kinds of herbs, identify the surrounding vegetation for his tribe, and use it!
Coupled with this crystal belly, you can directly observe the effects of plants after eating them, observe the changes in the internal organs, and intuitively see the effects of plants.
A satisfied smile appeared on Shennong's face. With this life essence and crystal belly, all the troubles were solved!
Looking at the grass that poisoned the fox in front of him, Shen Nong smiled. Without any hesitation, he put it into his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and then immediately looked at his stomach.
After the grass and trees entered the stomach, they immediately turned into colorful auras flowing through the body. Among them, there was an obvious black energy, which flowed directly from the stomach into the blood, and stayed along the blood to the internal organs.
The next moment, Shennong only felt cramps in his abdomen, as if his internal organs were being tightly grasped. Shen Nong gritted his teeth and cracked his mouth in pain. The life essence in his belly was about to move, trying to integrate into Shennong's body and repair his injured body.
However, Shennong held back and suppressed the life essence in his body. Shennong wanted to see what the use of this grass was and how poisonous it was!
As time went by, the corners of Shennong's mouth became numb, he felt nauseated and dizzy in his heart, and the scene in front of him became blurry.
However, Shennong still held back, suppressing the restless life essence in his body. As time went by, the feeling became stronger and stronger. Shennong even wanted to plunge to the ground, but Shennong still held back these.
I suppressed my nausea and dizziness, tried my best to concentrate, and looked at my belly. It was not the time yet, and I had not reached my limit yet. In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and Shennong was surprised to find that his condition seemed to be stable. As time went by, Shennong's symptoms became lighter and lighter, and his physical condition gradually improved.
Shennong was immediately overjoyed. Sure enough, this piece of grass was not fatal. Or, just such a piece of grass was not fatal. The fox died after eating it, but the human body was much larger than the fox. A piece of grass could poison the fox. But it cannot poison people.
Another half hour passed, and Shennong's symptoms had alleviated a lot. Although he was still very uncomfortable, he felt much more relaxed.
Shennong thought for a moment. He was not eating grass or using the life energy in his belly to recover. Instead, he was looking at his belly quietly.
I found a rock nearby and sat down.
When he was hungry, he picked some wild fruits that were already edible to satisfy his hunger. He kept watching the reaction in his stomach. After one day, Shennong's symptoms had weakened to the extreme. He basically didn't feel any problems anymore, but his body was a little weak.
Two days later, Shennong completely recovered and his breath returned to normal.
After one day of consumption of this herb, 90% of the body's symptoms can be recovered, and after two days, all patients will be fully recovered.
Shennong wrote down the time, then walked to the previous place, plucked two grasses from the ground, and put them into his mouth. As the grasses entered his stomach, a wave of symptoms that were even worse than before swept over him. Shennong had a look of discomfort on his face.
But it was still not fatal. Two days later, Shennong was 90% better. Three days later, Shennong was completely recovered.
After recovering, Shennong stood up again, pulled out three pills and put them into his mouth. The grass went into his stomach. Shennong's face instantly became distorted. As time went by, he became more and more confused. Two quarters of an hour later, Shennong's eyes were filled with tears. Black, the life essence in the body surged instantly, and rich vitality emerged. The internal organs, which had been 99% eroded by black, instantly began to recover, and quickly recovered under the action of the life essence.
After one breath, Shennong's symptoms were completely healed and he returned to normal.
At the critical moment, the essence of life pulled Shennong out of the gate of hell.
But yes, the essence of life actually wanted to repair Shennong's body the moment Shennong's body was damaged, but it was suppressed by Shennong. It was not repaired just now, but as Shennong lost consciousness, the essence of life lost its suppression. Shennong's injuries were all restored in an instant.
Knowing this, the smile on Shen Nong's face became even wider. It was good that he could test the real moment of death.
Shennong recalled the scene just now. Through the previous two times, Shennong was sure that this unknown grass would reach its peak toxicity half an hour after taking it. If he could survive this time, he should be able to survive.
But it had only been two quarters of an hour, and there was still a quarter of an hour before the end. I thought that before the toxicity of this grass was fully exerted, I couldn't hold on anymore.
Shennong thought for a moment, stood up again, pulled out three grasses, and only took half of the third one and ate it.
Two and a quarter of hours later, Shennong lost consciousness, and the life essence surged in his body, driving away all the poison.
Shen Nong's face showed a thoughtful look, and he wrote down the results just now, and then picked up another piece of grass. Repeated this for more than ten times, Shen Nong finally tested the toxicity of this grass. As long as it is slightly more than two pieces, it will be enough. Causing death!
Two is a critical value!
Afterwards, Shennong tried grasses of different sizes and gradually realized the toxicity of the grass. After he fully understood it, Shennong began to observe the effect of the grass in his stomach.
After eating it many times, Shen Nong discovered that although the grass was highly poisonous, after taking it, a warm current would rise in the body, making people feel warm all over. However, compared with its toxicity, this was not possible at the beginning. Ignored by Shennong.
Shennong wrote it down and took it again, observing carefully.
So repeated, after nine months, Shennong took out a piece of animal skin and wrote on it:
"Wicao, also known as Aconitum, is pungent, warm, and highly poisonous. It grows in valleys and can nourish the Yuan and restore Yang, replenish fire and reduce cold. It can remove its toxicity... ”
After a long time, Shennong stopped recording, his eyes brighter than ever before!
Sure enough, what I thought was right, absolutely right!
The unknown vegetation around you is a hidden treasure. Even such poison can still have other effects.
This is true for poisons, let alone others.
For a moment, Shennong felt full of energy. Looking at the endless mountains and rivers in front of him and the villages hidden around them, Shennong's face was full of determination!
I must compile and taste hundreds of herbs and open up the treasures in the world for my human race!
After writing down the situation of the black grass, Shennong put away a lot of the black grass and looked at the other unknown grasses around him.
The situation of black grass is almost understood. The rest can only be tasted slowly to see what happens when it is combined with other plants. It will take a long time, and it will require the cooperation of other plants. Wait for it slowly. Come on, don't be in a hurry.
After taking a few steps, Shennong found his target. His eyes lit up, he raised his hand to pull it out, threw away the dirt, and put it directly into his mouth.
After swallowing the grass into his stomach, Shennong immediately looked at his stomach to observe the changes in the herb. As time went by, a breath flowed through Shennong's body, and Shennong observed carefully.
When it had no effect, Shen Nong took it again and again and again, constantly testing the efficacy and function of this new plant.
After tasting it clearly, Shen Nong once again ate the grass in his hand together with the black grass he had tasted before, and began to observe the effects of eating two grasses at the same time.
In this way, Shennong started his own journey of tasting hundreds of herbs. However, for a whole thousand years, Shennong did not come out of the forest where he started. There were too many plants and trees that the human race did not recognize.
