Chapter 8 Synthesis of Medicinal Materials

  Heavenly Blue Flower (White, Synthesizable): Type: Common Plant

  Years: more than 10 years but less than 11 years

  Firethorn (White, Synthesizable): Type: Common Plant

  Years: over 15 years old and under 16 years old

  These two plants are even simpler to interpret, and no grades are listed, but these two plants are the most suitable synthetic auxiliary materials that Wang Tao can find!

  Since he had made up his mind, Wang Tao would not hesitate and directly took out a non-essential medicinal material and placed it in the main placement position. Then, he put the Tian Qing flower in the auxiliary position and chose to confirm synthesis!

  With a buzz, the same scene as the first synthesis appeared. The two medicinal materials were sucked into the two black holes and merged into one in an instant. One of the medicinal materials lay quietly!

  Dai Xun Cao (White, can be synthesized): Type: Common medicinal material

  Years: More than 5 years and less than 6 years

  Evaluation: First-class

  Success! In addition to obtaining two stalks of first-class medicinal herbs, I also gained 2 points of synthesis experience!

  Wang Tao couldn't help but get excited, and he started to gesticulate wildly! Everything was just as Wang Tao had thought, it was possible to synthesize with other items, and all you needed to know was this one point, and the synthesis of spiritual materials would be absolutely no problem!

  Slightly calmed down, he combined the other unrefined medicinal herb with the fire needle and obtained a refined medicinal herb that was at least eight years old but less than nine years old, which further confirmed Wang Tao's idea!

  "Although the synthesized items' years of absorption have been halved, it's still absolutely feasible! Now the most important thing is to find more synthesizable materials!" Wang Tao sat cross-legged in the tree hole, deep in thought. "Although we need to find materials, we can't find ones that are too low-grade! The system's spiritual power was already limited, and after three syntheses, there were only 47 points left. Moreover, this is just for synthesizing white items; I don't know if the spiritual material requires red synthesis. If it does, it will definitely cost more than just a little spiritual power - at least 5 points or even more! So, before we figure out how to obtain spiritual power, we must ensure that we leave behind more than 10 points of spiritual power for synthesizing spiritual materials. For now, there are only 37 usable points of spiritual power; I must synthesize at least two batches of second-grade medicinal herbs above 50 years old within 37 attempts in order to synthesize third-grade spiritual material!"

  "Need a high year of auxiliary materials, must first determine a direction, otherwise it's hard to find!" Wang Tao analyzed one by one, and suddenly his eyes flashed with surprise, "Ancient tree!"

  Yes, ancient trees! Wang Tao thought of the ancient trees at this moment. Any ordinary ancient tree in the dense forest is at least hundreds of years old. Some of these ancient trees are even medicinal materials, but their efficacy is too low to have a significant effect.

  "The ancient tree is too big, but I can find the essence of the ancient tree! Using the essence of the ancient tree to synthesize items shouldn't be too bad!" With this thought, Wang Tao hastily got up and came to the interior of the tree hole, using Appraisal on the ancient tree.

  "The essence of an ancient tree is usually its heartwood and roots!"

  Silver Birch (White, Synthesizable): Type: Common Plant

  Year: 1370 and later than 1371

  As expected! Looking at the characters that could be synthesized, Wang Tao was excited and shocked in his heart. This ancient tree actually had more than a thousand years of age, it was absolutely an ancient spiritual tree that was about to become a spirit!

  "This tree is almost a spirit, with a certain level of consciousness. Although it can't harm people for now, it will remember hatred and will come back to take revenge after it becomes a spirit! So, try not to disturb this ancient tree!" Wang Tao understood that if he damaged the tree's vitality, once it became a spirit, it would definitely come looking for him first!

  Ancient tree spirits and the like are harmless when they haven't become refined, but once they do, they're absolutely formidable, absolutely not something Wang Tao can handle!

  "Ancient trees over a thousand years old can't be moved, but those under seven hundred years are possible! This dense forest is so vast, there must be ancient trees of that age, just need to find one and extract its essence into four portions!"

  Without resting, Wang Tao hastily covered up his things and then left the tree cave.

  Outside, it's daytime now!

  There are many ancient trees that meet Wang Tao's requirements, but Wang Tao cannot make too much noise and must carefully search for them without startling the ferocious beasts around!

  To get the tree heart, Wang Tao had to enter the ancient tree, so he still had to find an ancient tree that met the requirements and had a tree hole. After spending more than half a day, Wang Tao finally found a suitable ancient tree, and then spent more than two hours using a sharp axe to dig out a large piece of tree heart, and then took it back directly!

  Betel Palm Heart (White, Can be Synthesized): Type: Ordinary Plant Essence

  Year: 727 or later, 728 or earlier

  This piece of light red tree core is as thick as Wang Tao's thigh and as tall as a person. After splitting it, it will definitely be enough to use!

  "It's been over 700 years, and after synthesizing, it's been over 350 years. If you want to synthesize two second-grade medicinal herbs, each one needs to be synthesized twice, so these two need to be synthesized four times! This tree core needs to be divided into four parts!" Wang Tao picked up the axe and split the tree core into four equal parts!

  In fact, white synthesis is absolutely successful, and in theory, even if it is divided into many pieces, it should be fine. However, Wang Tao did not dare to gamble!

  Carefully place a single stem of wild mountain mint on top of the main placement position, as this medicinal herb is the most precious!

  Then Wang Tao put another section of ancient tree trunk on it. At this time, Wang Tao's hands were already sweating!

  "Confirmed Synthesis!"

  His eyes narrowed slightly, but Wang Tao's hand suddenly touched that synthetic certainty!

  Another humming sound, a wild mountain spine and a section of tree heart were instantly sucked into two black holes, and in an instant, the interface flashed and two placement points became one. One of them was a medicinal material that emitted a faint fragrance, quietly lying inside!

  "The medicine is fragrant and scattered, two kinds of medicinal materials!" Wang Tao's pupils shrank slightly, and he knew that the synthesis was successful!

  Although he was excited after the synthesis was successful, Wang Tao didn't dare to slack off at all. He took out the medicinal herb that was over 363 years old without stopping and continued to put it back in!

  Victory or defeat hangs in the balance with this one move!

  It was the same as before, only this time the synthesis took a little longer, causing Wang Tao's heart to thump violently! However, the white synthesis was absolutely successful, which perfectly explained that Wang Tao's tension was unnecessary.

  Synthesis successful!

  Wild Mountain Ridge (Red, Can be Synthesized): Type: Rare Medicine

  Year: 727 or later, 728 or earlier

  Evaluation: Second-class goods

  Just a slight appraisal and inspection revealed that it was indeed successful, and the synthesis item level also turned red, and the type of medicine became rare! Wang Tao didn't know the key to this, but he could probably guess the reason.

  "The year should be the most important factor affecting the type and grade of medicinal materials. In addition to the year, evaluation should also be a major standard! Wang Tao picked up this wild mountain ridge emitting a strange fragrance, with some emotion in his heart, "This kind of medicinal material can reach the second grade, it should be very rare! Otherwise, it would not be possible to become a rare type of medicinal material!"

  "Right, the medicinal herb is emitting a strange fragrance! This will absolutely have a lethal attraction to those ferocious beasts. We must immediately disperse the strange fragrance emitted by this medicinal herb, otherwise the ferocious beasts will definitely cause big trouble when they smell it!" Wang Tao suddenly woke up and exclaimed in alarm.

  Just now, when it was not taken out, there was no particularly strong fragrance, but after taking it out from the synthesis interface, the unique fragrance of the second-grade medicinal material began to diffuse! Fortunately, Wang Tao had some methods in his mind to cover up the strange smell. Without hesitation, Wang Tao hastily left the tree cave and found a few ordinary plants within ten minutes, then quickly ground them into a paste and applied it to the second-grade wild mountain spine.

  "Phew, it's okay, this method works! Don't know if the beast has discovered us, can't care about that now, must leave immediately!" The medicinal herbs were smeared with a mixture of plant juices, and the fragrance was covered up. However, Wang Tao couldn't put his mind at ease, and he quickly gathered his things and left directly!

  Just as the vanguard had left, two ferocious beasts with incredible speed appeared, and more were arriving one after another. Wang Tao was unaware that his troubles were quietly approaching...
