"It's a long story, please confirm it yourself later. The Cynomorium cynomorium I dug is a little different from what is recorded in the information." I explained
"Let's go to my house first." Huang Li fastened her seat belt.
I started the car and drove towards her home.
After arriving at the community, I parked the car in the parking space. Pick up the hiking bag and follow Huang Li into the unit door.
I followed Huang Li into the living room and put my hiking bag on the table.
As the zipper slid open, I took out the Cynomorium cynomorium. Its leaves showed an unusual deep red color, glowing with a dull luster under the indoor light.
Huang Li leaned over and looked carefully: "This is indeed Cynomorium cynomorium, but it has mutated. I have studied medicinal materials for so many years and have never seen such a form."
She quickly walked to the bookshelf, took down a yellowed pharmacopoeia and flipped through it quickly.
"Similar situations have been recorded in ancient books. When Cynomorium cynomorium grows on special earth vein nodes and is nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a long time, it may undergo mutation. But this probability is extremely low and has been rare for thousands of years."
"Is it more medicinal than ordinary Cynomorium cynomorium?" I asked.
Huang Li looked at the red herb with a complicated expression: "Its medicinal properties may be several times stronger than ordinary Cynomorium cynomorium, but no one knows the specific effect." Her eyes showed the excitement of a researcher.
"I have eaten a Cynomorium cynomorium raw." This is also one of the reasons why I found Huang Li.
Huang Li’s eyes were full of shock, "What? Did you just say...eat it raw?"
I briefly recounted the day when my body suddenly became cold and I swallowed Cynomorium cynomorium in a hurry.
"Did anything abnormal happen to your body after that?" Huang Li asked.
"Yes, it seems to have become stronger." I answered truthfully.
To confirm that what I said was true, my eyes fell on the sofa in the living room.
Walked over and held one of the chair legs with one hand. With a little effort, the entire chair was easily lifted up.
Huang Li said softly, "Have you been able to do it before?"
I put down the sofa, "It can't be so easy."
Huang Li took a few steps closer and motioned for me to extend my hand. She pressed on my wrist pulse and held her breath for a moment.
"The pulse is steady and strong, but the rhythm is a little abnormal, much faster than ordinary people."
She opened my eyelids to observe carefully, and asked me to stick out my tongue.
"The pupils are more responsive to light, and the tongue coating appears dark red. These changes are indeed beyond the scope of effectiveness of ordinary Cynomorium cynomorium."
I moved my fingers: "Recently, I always feel that there is a fever in my body. There is something restless, and the body temperature is high, but she doesn't feel uncomfortable." Huang Li nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that the mutated Cynomorium cynomorium has stimulated your body's potential, but to what extent, further observation is needed."
After a brief inspection, I took out the remaining plants from my backpack and placed them on the table one by one.
These plants brought back from the tiankeng have different shapes. Some leaves have a metallic sheen on the edges, and some stems have a translucent texture.
Huang Li put on her experimental gloves and picked up the first herb that was completely icy blue.
She gasped in surprise as soon as she touched the leaf: "Is this plant emitting cold air?"
She took a thermometer and put it on the surface of the leaf, and the pointer quickly slid to below zero: "The surface temperature is only three degrees. How is this possible? It is obviously growing normally. "
She then picked up the dark purple vine-like plant: "Its smell can make people feel dizzy."
She quickly opened the window for ventilation, with an excited look on her face, "I have never seen this kind of nerve-stimulating properties in plant illustrations."
Huang Li's hands trembled slightly when she saw the umbrella-shaped fungus that emitted faint fluorescence.
She carefully held it in her palm, turned on the ultraviolet light, and the cap suddenly glowed with a dreamy blue halo.
"The biological characteristics of these plants are completely beyond the cognitive scope of modern botany." Huang Li's eyes moved back and forth among these strange plants.
"Each plant is worthy of its own research topic. The sinkhole you discovered may be an unprecedented ecological secret."
Huang Li suddenly turned to me: "These plants come from the same area as the Cynomorium cynomorium you take? It seems that the ecological environment there is indeed unusual. Perhaps it is this special environment that caused the mutation of Cynomorium cynomorium."
Huang Li carefully put the plants away again: "These samples are too precious, and I need time to study them carefully. However, from preliminary observations, they may contain biological activity far beyond our imagination."
I took out an item wrapped in soft cloth from my backpack, peeled off the layers, and revealed a gray-white broken stone bone.
"Is this a keel bone?"
Huang Li took the fossil in doubt and couldn't tell what it was in her hand: "This is..."
"It was knocked off a dinosaur fossil." I told the truth.
"In a landslide in the Tiankeng, I found a complete skeleton. I thought it might be useful, so I took a small section."
Huang Li was shocked by my words: "Do you know that these are extremely precious paleontological fossils? If the relevant departments know about this..."
"Ignore this for now. From the perspective of medicinal materials, is this thing valuable? Aren't the dragon bones mentioned in traditional medicine the fossils of ancient animals?" In order to survive, I can't care so much.
Huang Li calmed down her emotions and re-examined the fossil fragments in her hands.
She took a magnifying glass and inspected its structure and texture: "From the texture point of view, this is indeed a fossil. But the dragon bones used in medicinal materials are mostly bone fossils of Cenozoic mammals. Whether dinosaur fossils can be used as medicine has never been recorded in ancient books."
"If I find tiger bones, can I make Longhu Pills?" I wanted to get the answer from Huang Li.
“If you have tiger bones, you can definitely give it a try. It’s just that the composition of the fossil is unknown, and the Cynomorium cynomorium you found has been mutated, so I can’t guarantee that it will be successful.” Huang Li analyzed calmly.
I took out a few more Cynomorium cynomorium plants: "As long as there is a possibility of success, you might as well try a few more times. Are these enough?"
"You actually collected so many?" Huang Li looked surprised again.
After all, a Cynomorium cynomorium is rare, and I took out a dozen of them.
"There are still a lot of them growing in that area, not enough for me to pick anymore." I said it lightly.
“How many plants are there?” Huang Li asked.
"I didn't count it in detail, but it grew a lot." I briefly described it.
“Can you take me with you next time?” Huang Li became interested in the sinkhole I mentioned.
"Okay, you don't have to be prepared before going." I am very aware of the dangers of that place.
Next, Huang Li examined all aspects of my body and came to a conclusion.
Physical strength, reaction speed, vision, hearing, etc. are far beyond ordinary people.
