"One hundred jin of this meat will be left in the Storehouse for everyone to trade for. Non-Martial Artist households can trade for half a jin at most, while Martial Artists can have up to one jin. You can take it home and make a soup with it; it’s beneficial for both adults and children. But if you’re not a Martial Artist, you shouldn’t drink too much of it."

Hearing this arrangement, everyone was overjoyed and began thanking him profusely.

Cheng Zongyang didn’t stick around to oversee the rest. Instead, he found a spot to remove the Python Gall.

When he arrived at the Medicine Hall, he saw his second uncle instructing an apprentice on how to grind something into a grayish-white powder. His uncle was also holding a large porcelain bottle.

"Second Uncle, I’ve brought the Python Gall," Cheng Zongyang called out.

Cheng Guangshan turned to look, his gaze landing on the object in Cheng Zongyang’s hand. His face lit up as he rose and walked over. "Excellent, excellent. The medicinal properties of Exotic Beasts are truly impressive. This one Snake Gall is more than enough to make twenty jin of snake gall wine."

Cheng Zongyang asked, "Did you want the bones to make wine as well?"

Cheng Guangshan took the Snake Gall and headed inside, explaining, "No, it’s for the Growth Medicine Liquid."

Hearing this and remembering his uncle had mentioned he was making progress, Cheng Zongyang’s eyes lit up. He hurried to follow him. "Second Uncle, have you figured out another use for it?"

Cheng Guangshan nodded. "From the Tiger King you brought back before, I steeped most of the bones in wine, and the flesh and blood proved quite effective. Later, I happened to hear from a farmer that bone powder is also beneficial for crop growth, so I ran three experiments with it."

"First, I tried mixing the powder directly with the medicine liquid. Second, I soaked it in water for a few days, then used that ’bone water’ to create the liquid. Third, I boiled the bone powder in water, creating a slurry, and then made the Growth Liquid from that. Boiling and steaming are common methods for processing Medicinal Materials, after all."

"After trying all three, I found that boiling the bone water yielded the best results. It not only speeds up germination and rooting but also has a noticeable effect on crops that are already growing. You can see a clear difference within a few days. Come with me."

After briefly treating the Snake Gall, Cheng Guangshan hung it up to air-dry in the shade. He then left the house and led Cheng Zongyang around to the back.

There, one mu of land had been fenced off to create a separate medicine field.

Without his second uncle needing to say a word, Cheng Zongyang could see that the plot was planted with ginseng. There was a clear difference in their growth; one section was taller than the other by about four or five centimeters.

Cheng Guangshan walked closer, his eyes fixed intently on the ginseng seedlings.

"These were planted seven days ago. They’re from cuttings, but for the sake of the experiment, I made sure to trim them to the exact same size and plant them with space between each one."

"The taller ones were watered with the newly formulated Growth Liquid, while the shorter ones received the original liquid. The root systems underground show a similar difference—the taller plants have far more developed roots."

Excitement shone in Cheng Zongyang’s eyes.

’His second uncle actually pulled it off!’

’The principle seemed simple, but it took his uncle numerous attempts to figure it out! Who would have thought beforehand that water boiled with Exotic Beast Bone powder could be formulated to accelerate crop growth? Even if the effect wasn’t dramatic.’

"Second Uncle, does this mean we’ll be able to speed up the growth time for these kinds of Medicinal Materials, as well as fruits and vegetables?"

Cheng Guangshan nodded, then shook his head. "The ingredients are hard to come by, so we can only use it on precious Medicinal Materials. It would be a waste on common crops. Besides, I still want to experiment with Exotic Beast Flesh and Blood, and just the blood itself, to see what kind of effects they have."

Cheng Zongyang smiled. "Exotic Beast Flesh and Blood might be hard to find, but bones are easier. I remember a place in the mountains where there’s a skeleton from a beast even larger than this python. I’ll go bring it back later."

’Inside the Wilderness World, the bones of the Black-Horned Python were still in the pit I use to cultivate carrion soil.’

’Since the bones have this effect, I can’t let them go to waste. I didn’t know their value back then and wasted so many.’

Cheng Guangshan frowned. "That place isn’t dangerous, is it?"

Cheng Zongyang smiled. "It’s not dangerous, just a bit far. Well, I’ll let you get back to your work. I’m going to go find my father." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Alright," Cheng Guangshan nodded.
