The next morning, I woke up early. Even though my muscles and bones were still sore, I had slept very soundly last night. My spirit had also recovered by a lot.
I closed my eyes and checked my body. The veins in my body were still damaged, but the injuries on my body had recovered by a lot. It seemed that the black mud cream was really effective.
I got off the bed and moved around the room. Just as I was about to push the door open, Nam excitedly ran in. Seeing that I had woken up, he smiled and asked me how I was feeling.
I roughly explained my body's condition. After Nam heard it, he pulled me out of the courtyard. As we walked, he told me that he would bring me to the village chief's house to see if he had a way to treat my internal injuries.
I naturally couldn't reject Nam's enthusiasm. After a while, we arrived at the village chief's house.
After a few shouts outside the door, an old man with a white beard slowly walked out of the house. Almost all of the hair on his body had fallen off, but he looked very kind.
Seeing that it was Nam, the village chief revealed a smile and asked Nam if he had found the hidden senior from the Sand Scorpion tribe.
After knowing that there was no result, the village chief sighed. "Little Nam, you don't need to be depressed.
These few days, I've been researching a miraculous medicine to increase your cultivation. I'm only missing the last herb to complete it.
After the medicine is completed, swallow it and you'll have a chance to advance to the Monster rank in three months. "
After hearing that, Nam's depressed expression instantly turned into surprise and joy. He hastily expressed his gratitude.
Unlike Nam's happiness, I watched from the side and felt that the so called 'miraculous medicine' might not be effective. After all, the village chief only had the cultivation of a Monster. If he wanted to help Nam advance to the Monster rank, he might not be able to do so.
For example, if I wanted to help someone become a Sealing Celestial Master, it might be possible. However, if I wanted to help someone advance to the Monster rank, it would be impossible.
After communicating with Nam, the village chief turned to look at me and asked Nam who I was.
Naturally, Nam wouldn't hide anything and told me everything about my background. He also told me the reason why I came today.
After the village chief heard it, he didn't suspect my identity. Instead, he patted my head with pity and sighed. "Such a handsome young man. Luckily, you escaped from the devil's clutches. Follow me in."
I never thought that the village chief would have such a sense of beauty.
At this moment, I understood that it was most likely because I didn't understand the beauty and ugliness of the Kobolds. With Nam's appearance, he should be a handsome guy among the Kobolds.
I followed the Village Elder into the courtyard. Before we entered the house, I smelled the strong scent of herbs.
On the way here, Nam told me that the Village Chief was a person who understood medicine. That was why he brought me here to ask for medicine.
After entering the house, he saw that there were many wooden shelves in the house, and the wooden shelves were filled with medicinal herbs.
I don't know much about pharmacology, and the Monster Race's medicinal herbs are not related to the human world. So, after carefully looking at them, I couldn't recognize any of them.
At this moment, a stone pot was placed on top of the fire. Within the stone pot, a dark green medicinal liquid was already boiling.
It seemed that the medicine in the wok was the miraculous medicine that could raise one's cultivation that the Village Chief had mentioned.
Beside him, Nam also noticed this. After entering the room, he stared at the pot of boiling potion with a burning gaze.
The Village Head coughed and ignored him. He turned to me and asked, "Young man, tell me about your situation."
The body structure of the Monster race and the human race were similar, so the nature of their cultivation was the same. So, after thinking for a while, I told him the truth.
After the Village Chief heard, he frowned and didn't say anything for a long time.
When my Heaven Veins were shattered, I used the True Dragon Saliva to reconstruct them, while the fatty used the power of the Monster Pill.
These two items were extremely precious and rare. It was normal for the Village Chief, who was only at the peak of the Pressure Point Realm, to be unable to think of a solution.
I didn't really care, but Nam, who was at the side, felt that the Village Chief was also helpless. He apologetically turned his head and gave me a comforting look.
Since I couldn't think of a solution, I prepared to change the topic and see if I could get more information from the Village Chief. However, before I could speak, the Village Chief, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth.
"Handsome young man, I can't do anything about your injury, but I've heard that there is an extremely precious herb called Thousand Leaves Aroma. It will be of great help to your situation.
If you can find this herb, you might be able to cure it. "
Thousand Leaves Aroma?
I didn't have much hope, but the Village Chief's tone was very serious. It was clear that he wasn't joking.
I was pleasantly surprised. It didn't matter if I could find it or not, as long as I knew its name, I would have a goal.
I hurriedly asked the Village Chief, "Where can I find this Thousand Leaves Aroma?"
The Village Chief told me that a few decades ago, a Thousand Leaves Aroma appeared in the forest outside of Green Water Village. At that time, many people heard the news and went there. I didn't know if it had been taken away or not.
When I heard this, I felt a little strange. If it was a precious herb, and someone had found it, why hadn't it been taken away?
After asking, I understood that this herb took dozens of years to mature. Moreover, it was very difficult to transplant. Even if it was found, it wouldn't be taken away. It would have to wait until it matured before it could be harvested.
Moreover, according to the Village Chief, that Thousand Leaves Aroma should have matured in the last one or two years. It's possible that it's still in its original location. Let's go and search for it. Perhaps we can find it. "
After listening to him, before I could say anything, Nam happily replied, "That's great. I've been to the forest outside of the village with Uncle Qu Wang a few times. I'm very familiar with the road. I'll take you there immediately!"
The Village Chief nodded. "It's very dangerous in the forest. I'll let Little Nam accompany you.
There are a few kinds of spirit herbs in the back mountain. You guys can help me pick them. With those spirit herbs, I should be able to refine the elixir for Little Nam. "
After listening to me, Nam became even happier and quickly agreed.
Then, the village chief drew a picture of the spirit herbs and gave it to Nam.
After receiving the drawing, Nam was even more anxious than I was. He pulled my arm and wanted to walk out of the house.
At this time, the Village Chief stopped us and warned us that after nightfall, the fierce beasts in the forest would come out to hunt for food. He told us that we must leave before sunset.
I didn't know if Nam listened or not, but he casually agreed. He pulled me out of the Village Chief's house and ran towards the forest outside.
Standing in the village, we could see the forest in the distance. However, with our current strength, we walked for nearly half an hour before we finally reached the place.
After entering the forest, under the shade of the trees, the surrounding temperature dropped a lot. The ancient and wild aura was also much denser. This kind of environment was obviously very suitable for the growth of herbs.
Nam led the way. This place was surrounded by the forest, so it was hard to tell the direction. After following Nam for another fifteen minutes, we finally stopped at the foot of a small mountain.
Nam told me that the small mountain in front of us was the back mountain that the Village Chief had mentioned. The spirit herbs that the Village Chief wanted should be here. The Thousand Leaves Aroma should also be nearby.
While talking, he took out the drawing that the Village Chief had given me and showed it to me. He said that we were going to search for these spirit herbs together.
I picked up the drawing and carefully looked at it. Although the Village Chief's drawing was rough, he had drawn the characteristics of each herb. In addition, the Thousand Leaves Aroma was also included. The Village Chief had specially circled it and marked it out.
When I heard the name "Thousand Leaves Aroma", I felt that it was similar to the Seven Star Mugwort that I had obtained in the Green Hill Country. After looking at the drawing, I realized that it was indeed the case. However, the difference was that the Thousand Leaves Aroma had thick roots and lush branches. Compared to the Seven Star Mugwort, it looked more like a tree.
The back mountain was only a hundred meters high. Nam's body was sturdy, so he didn't even pant as he walked in front. Although my physical strength had recovered a little, it was hard to avoid affecting my injuries while walking, so I was panting a little.
Luckily, Nam was careful. After seeing my tired appearance, he stopped to rest for a while and went to check the surrounding herbs.
We walked and stopped like this until noon, but we only found one useful herb.
I was a little anxious. The Village Chief had said that after nightfall, there would be fierce beasts roaming around. At that time, we had to go back. With this kind of efficiency, I didn't know how many days we would need to find the Thousand Leaves Aroma in such a big mountain.
