Chapter 349: Setting out with Divine Oil to find Lady Hu!
Li Mo did not go directly to find Lady Hu; instead, he left the courtyard and arrived at the Astrology Tower where the Moon Goddess resided.
However, he was not there to find the Moon Goddess.
He was looking for Hu Ji, a maidservant to the Moon Goddess.
Upon seeing Hu Ji, Li Mo straightforwardly stated the purpose of his visit.
“Is there any way to make a person’s blood boil?”
The Wolf Tribe possesses a secret technique capable of activating the latent potential hidden within a person’s body.
This technique causes the blood to boil, enhancing strength and depleting potential.
Li Wu had witnessed such a thing during the battles between the Qin army and the Wolf Tribe.
After consuming a certain special drug, the soldiers of the Wolf Tribe would become immensely powerful, significantly reducing their sense of pain.
Hence, they became valiant in battle.
If it weren’t for the fact that their flesh and blood couldn’t withstand gunpowder, the Qin State would have found it much more difficult to defeat the Xiongnu.
Li Mo recalled what Li Wu had mentioned, prompting him to seek out Hu Ji.
As a saintess of the Wolf Tribe, Hu Ji would surely know how to concoct such a drug.
The tattoos behind Humeiren and Lady Hu are quite mysterious.
They are inked with a special dye from the Ba Yue Region.
Ordinary exercise can only accelerate blood flow, but it doesn’t reach the boiling point.
Yet, he believed Hu Ji might have a solution.
Compared to Li Mo, Hu Ji seemed to fear the Moon Goddess more.
He wondered what experiences she had gone through during her time with the Moon Goddess.
With just a look from the Moon Goddess, she revealed everything she knew.
“Are you referring to Heavenly Wolf Sacred Powder?”
Li Mo nodded, “Heavenly Wolf Sacred Powder? That’s pretty much it. Can you concoct it?”
Hu Ji dared not hide anything and quickly replied, “This drug will make a person immensely powerful, causing them to lose pain perception,
making them brave and formidable. Within our Wolf Tribe, it has always been considered a gift from the Wolf God, but in reality, it just depletes the user’s physical potential. When the drug wears off, it will harm the body. Why do you need this?”
Even when using Heavenly Wolf Sacred Powder, the Xiongnu still gave the Qin State a hard time.
Thus, in her impression, Qin soldiers were already sufficiently valiant.
“Just do what you’re told; don’t ask unnecessary questions.”
The Moon Goddess casually shot a glance their way, speaking lightly.
“Yes, it was my impudence.”
Hu Ji turned pale with fright.
It was clear that she genuinely feared the Moon Goddess.
Li Mo raised his hand to stop Hu Ji, who was about to go and prepare the Heavenly Wolf Sacred Powder, and continued, “Is there another way to make the blood boil without depleting physical potential?”
Even the robust Xiongnu soldiers would suffer aftereffects from usage; Lady Hu’s petite frame would definitely not be able to withstand it.
“A different method? If we don’t deplete physical potential, the effectiveness will greatly diminish.”
Hu Ji looked at Li Mo, puzzled, and reminded him honestly.
“I don’t need immense strength or valiance, just boiling blood will do.”
Hu Ji’s brows furrowed in thought, appearing troubled.
Li Mo did not rush her.
After all, this was for Lady Hu; if something went wrong, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to Nong Yu and Humeiren.
After pondering for a while, Hu Ji finally spoke, “It’s worth a try. We could reduce the drug’s components and switch from internal to external use; that might yield some results.”
Li Mo nodded in satisfaction, “Alright, just tell me what materials you need, and I’ll get them for you.”
Finding the medicinal herbs for preparing Heavenly Wolf Sacred Powder isn’t easy, but that wouldn’t stymie Li Mo.
He took the prescription Hu Ji wrote and visited Xi’an Palace.
Half an hour later, he had everything gathered together.
What other place could provide pharmaceuticals as complete as those in Xi’an Palace?
There were even several roots of thousand-year-old ginseng.
After obtaining the medicinal herbs, Hu Ji did not delay and quickly prepared the Heavenly Wolf Sacred Powder in front of Li Mo and the Moon Goddess.
“I’ve diluted the Heavenly Wolf Sacred Powder into a liquid form, which can be applied to the surface of leather clothing to make the smeared area feel burning hot, thus causing the blood in that area to boil.”
Li Mo looked thoughtfully at the porcelain bottle that Hu Ji handed him, which was about a finger high.
…… …
Small bottle, liquid, applied, blood boiling.
Why does that sound a bit familiar?
He thought for a moment and suddenly recalled something.
This is basically Indian magic oil, isn’t it?
“Is it definitely effective? Is it harmful to the body?”
Seeing his hesitation, Hu Ji understood he had concerns.
Without another word, she uncorked the bottle and poured some colorless, odorless liquid onto the back of her hand.
In just a few breaths, the originally fair back of her hand turned bright red.
The veins on her hand were visibly bulging.
One could distinctly see the blood within the veins speeding up its flow.
It’s quicker acting than Indian magic oil!
“The potency has been reduced a lot, and the effect will only last for an hour.”
Seeing her demonstrate, Li Mo set aside his doubts.
An hour? That’s even less time than himself.
Chicken rib!
But suddenly, he raised an eyebrow.
Not everyone can easily keep track of time like himself.
Another profitable avenue.
This stuff that helps men regain confidence would definitely be popular on the market.
Such precious goods, they could probably sell for the price of gold!
One tael of magic oil for ten taels of gold!
Those wealthy old tycoons and powerful figures wouldn’t care about the price.
“Are you satisfied?”
Seeing a smile appear at the corner of his mouth, the Moon Goddess thought he was pleased with the potion Hu Ji had prepared.
“Very satisfied, I’ll take it for now.”
Li Mo took the porcelain bottle from Hu Ji, turned, and went back to the courtyard.
As for how to conduct the business, he would have Zi talk to Hu Ji tomorrow.
What he needed to do now was to go find Lady Hu.
When he returned to the courtyard, it was already late at night.
Li Mo walked directly to Lady Hu’s courtyard with the bottle.
To his surprise, the candles in Lady Hu’s room were still lit.
And Lady Hu had not gone to sleep.
She was sitting by the window, anxiously yet nervously waiting for something.
