After traveling through time, my blood became a panacea

If he couldn't get the century-old herbs, he would be bedridden in three to five months. As a last resort, Xu Feng could only try the last method. He cut his finger, dripped ten drops of blood into a basin full of water, stirred it thoroughly, and began to use the blood-dissolving water to water the herbs!

The bath water only had the strange fragrance mixed in, but once his blood was exposed to the air, it would continue to emit the strange fragrance, which was considered the source. At first, he even used it as a medicine to refine Qi-invigorating pills, and used the Qi-invigorating pills to exchange for centuries-old medicinal materials from the disciples of the cultivation family!

The effect of using blood directly would increase dramatically if nothing unexpected happened, not to mention that it was just a basin of water, the amount of water was much less than the large bucket used for bathing, and it was not too diluted. Although bleeding would further aggravate his weakness, in his current state, he could only choose to take a gamble. He bet that the medicinal materials could reach a hundred years old before he became completely weak and unable to move. For cultivators, ordinary people, animals, and even flowers and plants, Xu Feng believed in the omnipotence of the medicinal body.

Sure enough, three days later, Xu Feng noticed that the medicinal herbs watered with hemolytic water were significantly different. The leaves were fully stretched out, fresh and green, swaying gently, as if they were cheering!

Ten days later, as Xu Feng was eagerly waiting, the five oldest herbs finally reached the 100-year-old stage, and were soon picked and eaten by Xu Feng! Dissolving the blood of the herbs in water and forcibly ripening the herbs would definitely lead to the loss of some of the medicinal properties and waste due to various reasons.

However, these eighty or ninety year old medicinal herbs were just one step away from being effective. After being forcibly ripened and consumed, their medicinal power would be enough to make up for the loss caused by bloodletting, and there would even be a lot left over to make up for Xu Feng's previous shortfall. It was still a worthwhile deal!

To make an inappropriate analogy, it's like there's only eighty or ninety yuan in a bank card, and you can't withdraw less than a hundred yuan at the ATM, so you have to put in ten or twenty yuan first. Xu Feng used his own blood to "pad" it in first, and then let the medicinal materials absorb it. Although this approach would result in considerable waste and loss, even if you put in 50 yuan first for that ten or twenty yuan, as long as you can take out 100 yuan in the end, it's still worthwhile.

In this way, Xu Feng relied on occasional bleeding to forcefully ripen some medicinal herbs that were 70, 80, 80 or 90 years old. Using this tricky method, his physical condition gradually improved. After settling on this small hill for half a year, he finally fully recovered to the state of a normal person!

After recovering, Xu Feng was no longer anxious. After all, using his own blood to feed the herbs was a bit weird. He didn't want to do it unless it was absolutely necessary. For the remaining herbs, Xu Feng could just water them with his usual bath water!

After his physical condition was resolved, Xu Feng wanted to find out about the surrounding situation. The small village at the foot of the mountain was called Xiaogou Village. There were only four or five hundred villagers, most of whom made a living by farming and raising livestock. There were also a few hunters and herbalists. The town about twenty miles away from Xiaogou Village was called Langyan Town, which was only half the size of Shiqiao Town. This place was located on the border between the two countries, relatively remote and not too prosperous.

After Xu Feng recovered, he took Xiao Hei to buy some missing daily necessities, and also needed to replenish some common medicinal herbs. The stock in the medicine box had been consumed a lot in treating the villagers of Xiaogou Village, so it naturally needed to be replenished!

In this Langyan Town, Xu Feng actually found that there were many human traffickers. Most of the people trafficked were children aged five to six, eight to nine, both boys and girls. They were pale and thin, with ragged clothes, and their ankles were shackled with iron chains one by one. This was the first time he saw such blatant human trafficking since he came to this world.

After some inquiries, he learned that these people were captured from the neighboring Yunye Country. Bandits were rampant there, slaughtering villages and towns at will. After robbing property, young men and women became coolies and playthings for the bandits, and children were sold to human traffickers, who then sold them to various places. Some were sold to brothels, some were sold to powerful people to be trained as assassins, and most were bought by wealthy families to be maids and servants. In a small place like Langyan Town, if it were not for the fact that it was close to the border, there would normally be no human traffickers coming here to sell.

Although Xu Feng was uncomfortable with this, he could do nothing about it. Not to mention that he was just an ordinary person, even if he was a top-level expert, he would be powerless against this. This was a product of the times!

Looking at these hungry and pale children, Xu Feng wanted to turn a blind eye to them, but suddenly he changed his mind and thought that there would be more and more medicinal herbs planted in his back garden in the future, and it would be difficult for him to take care of it alone, so he needed help. So he decided to buy two children to share the burden. Besides, he lived alone on the top of the mountain. Although he had Xiao Hei to accompany him, he was a strange beast after all, and he would still feel lonely and deserted occasionally!

Unwilling to look at these miserable people any more, Xu Feng quickly scanned the more than 20 children at the human traffickers' place, and quickly selected two boys who looked healthy and smart, both of them were about seven or eight years old! The price was unexpectedly cheap, fifty gold each.

After giving the trafficker 100 gold, he was about to take the two away when he suddenly felt something strange. He turned around and saw a little girl holding the corner of his clothes for some reason. She tilted her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of endless pleading. This scene brought a huge shock to Xu Feng's heart. The dirty little hand grasped the corner of Xu Feng's white clothes and refused to let go, leaving a very eye-catching stain.

"Snap!" The trafficker was quick-witted and whipped the little girl's thin back with a whip, leaving a bloody mark on her small back! The little girl immediately fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

"Woof..." Xiao Hei was startled and barked angrily!

"Stop!" Xu Feng stopped him immediately.

"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't discipline you well enough and soiled your clothes. I'm really sorry!" The human trafficker immediately apologized with a smile!

"Forget about the clothes, I'll buy this too!" Xu Feng said. The little girl was already weak, and the traffickers rarely gave them food, first to save money, and second to prevent them from escaping. If she didn't get proper treatment and rest, the little girl might lose her life!

In fact, when the traffickers sell the remaining weak and unwanted children, they will eventually be cleared out, so for these children, the sooner they are bought, the greater their chance of survival. After all, the traffickers give them very little food, and they are getting weaker and weaker. As commodities, their value is decreasing, and they will be less favored by buyers as time goes by!

"Okay, okay, girls are cheap, forty gold coins are enough!" The human trafficker immediately smiled!

Let the two little boys help the little girl walk, Xu Feng first went to buy some children's clothes and shoes, and bought dozens of kilograms of rice, flour, oil, bedding, and ten steamed buns, and finally hired a carriage. The four people and the dog left Langyan Town!

Inside the carriage, three children were wolfing down their steamed buns! Xu Feng began to feel a little headache. Taking care of three children was not an easy task, but if you want to be rewarded, you have to give first! Fortunately, they were seven or eight years old, and the little girl looked six or seven years old. At most, in two or three years, they would grow up and there would be basically no need to worry about them.
