The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 5: A Few Claws

No matter what kind of world she traveled to, since a pie fell from the sky and she happened to encounter it, there was no reason for Hua Changxi not to accept it.

After tasting all the herbs on the medicine shelf, the words in sight changed to [Commentary on the Classic of Hundred Herbs (Minor Achievement): Tasting Hundred Herbs 22/100]
Hua Changxi was so curious about what happened after the Fan Zhi chapter that he tiptoed to the room where his father and mother lived. Seeing that they were taking a nap, he quickly went back to the room, changed into men's clothes, then went out and headed straight for the Hua family's pharmacy.

"Jiu Niang, why are you here?"

"Are you feeling well?"

Hua Sanlang and Hua Silang, who were helping in the pharmacy, were dumbfounded when they saw Hua Changxi. Neither of them expected Hua Changxi to come to the pharmacy at this time.

Hua Changxi made up an excuse: "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I want to get some medicine to take back."

Hua Sanlang immediately said, "What medicine do you want? Brother San will get it for you."

Hua Changxi shook his head and refused: "Third brother, fourth brother, you guys take care of the patients in the store, I can get the medicine myself."

At that time, there were indeed a few patients in the store. Hua Sanlang and Hua Silang saw that Hua Changxi was able to move freely, so they let her get the medicine herself.

Seeing that his two brothers were not paying attention to him, Hua Changxi walked to the medicine cabinet, opened them one by one, and tasted the herbs inside.

[Commentary on the Classic of Herbs (Small Complete Works): Taste 100/100 of Herbs]
After tasting a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs, the ethereal voice sounded in my mind again.

"The chapter on spiritual plants in the Commentary on the Hundred Herbal Scriptures has been opened."

Then, Hua Changxi’s mind was filled with detailed introductions to tens of thousands of spiritual plants, monsters, and spiritual objects.

Restore spiritual power, regenerate broken arms, bring the dead back to life, nourish the soul.
As Hua Changxi digested the knowledge about spiritual plants, he felt both shocked and excited.

The opening of the spiritual plant chapter opened a new window for her medical research.

At the same time, she also confirmed one thing: in the world she lives in today, in addition to warriors, there should be higher-level cultivators.

Perhaps it is because there are so few practitioners that it is little known.

But not everyone doesn’t know about it. At least people at the level of the red-robed demon Taoist and the young lady know about it.

Although there were people in the Hua family working in the government office, they were only low-level officials and the level of their contact was too low. She was lucky to have the opportunity created by the sorcerer to glimpse an unknown corner of this world.

She had already been amazed by the amazing efficacy of the medicinal herbs used by the warriors, and now this new spiritual plant had completely refreshed her worldview.

If you ask where in the Jin Dynasty is most likely to have spiritual plants, it must be the Medical Department!

Pharmacist Xu and Hua Changxi said that the Medical Bureau has a special rule that anyone who discovers a new medicinal material can obtain a pill to break the shackles.

Warriors are divided into first, second, third, and ninth grades according to their martial arts strength, for a total of nine levels.

If a sixth-rank warrior wants to be promoted to a seventh-rank warrior, he must break the shackles in his body. The Shackle-Breaking Pill is an indispensable advanced elixir.

As long as a warrior advances to the seventh level and can transform his internal energy into vital energy, he will be considered as entering the ranks of top masters.

Therefore, this reward from the Medical Department can be said to be generous.

The Medical Department was in charge of all medical affairs of the Jin Dynasty. By offering such attractive rewards, I wonder how many little-known medicinal materials they had collected.

Previously, when Hua Changxi learned in Jingzhao Prefecture that the Medical Bureau was going to recruit more apprentices, she just wanted to find a stable job that could make money. But now, she has another reason to join the Medical Bureau.

"Jiu Niang, have you got the medicine? Do you want Third Brother to help you?"

Hua Changxi suppressed his thoughts and quickly replied: "No, I'll get it right away."

The Hua family's pharmacy was not big, and there were only more than 300 kinds of medicinal herbs in the medicine cabinet. After trying them all, Hua Changxi picked up a dose of blood-replenishing medicine at random, said something to Hua Sanlang and Hua Silang, and hurried home.

Speaking of the Hua family in Nanluoxiang, Xiu Zhengfang, they are also quite famous in the district.

One reason is that the Hua family and the Dingyuan Earl’s Mansion are from the same clan. Although they are only distant relatives, they both have the surname Hua.

It would definitely be an eye-catching thing for an ordinary citizen to have a relationship with a noble.

The second is Mr. Hua’s life, which is a model of counterattack.

Hua Changxi's grandfather, Old Man Hua Binhua, lost his father when he was two years old and his mother when he was five. He had no uncles or elders to take care of him, and no brothers or sisters to help him. He barely survived to adulthood with the help of his clan.

Many people were not optimistic about Mr. Hua, thinking that he would never get married and would be a bachelor for the rest of his life, and that his family line would be extinct. But in the end, Mr. Hua was extremely lucky and accidentally saved a foreign businessman named Fan. After receiving a thank-you gift from the businessman, he used the money to successfully enter the Nancheng Bingmasi as a policeman.

After he became a policeman, a businessman named Fan thought he was worth investing in, so he promised his youngest daughter to him and also gave him the house where the Hua family lives today as a dowry.

It was even more amazing after they got married. The Hua family, which was originally a single-line family, suddenly flourished.

Now there are more than twenty people in the family.

The prosperity of their descendants is truly enviable.

Thirdly, the three Hua Minghe brothers all work in the government.

The eldest brother, Hua Minghe, was a constable of the Six Gates; the second brother, Hua Mingang, took over Mr. Hua's job and became a patrol officer of the South City Bingmasi; the fourth brother, Hua Mingcheng, was a jailer in the Ministry of Justice.

Although they are not high-ranking officials, they are paid by the government after all, so they are bound to be more informed than ordinary people.

Therefore, every move of the Hua family is closely watched by people in the neighborhood.

After Hua Changxi entered Xiu Zheng Fang, he became cautious in his actions and tried his best to avoid meeting people along the way.

Nowadays, if something happens in anyone's family, it is hard to escape the neighbors' inquiries, not to mention that the Hua family is already quite popular.

The news that Hua Changxi was kidnapped by the evil Taoist priest had already spread throughout the community.

She was just rescued yesterday and was injured, so she didn't want anyone to know that she could go out today.

Hua Changxi returned home through the back door. The Hua family pharmacy was only two blocks away from Xiu Zhengfang, and it only took her more than an hour to go back and forth.

The yard was still quiet. Hua Changxi thought he could sneak out without being discovered, but when he entered his room, he saw his mother sitting on his bed with an expressionless face.

"Mother, I feel a little unwell, so I went to the pharmacy to get some medicine."

Hua Changxi quickly picked up the tonic and showed it to Yao.

Yao looked at her daughter, feeling angry and having a headache: "You were just kidnapped, and you dared to sneak out of the house again, Jiu Niang, you are too brave."

Hua Changxi whispered back: "Mother, this is in the city, not outside the city. There are patrolling soldiers everywhere."

Yao was furious and said, "You lost so much blood. Even if you drank the medicine from the Medical Department, you should rest well."

"If you want to get medicine, can't you ask your sixth brother to go?"

"I see that you don't care about your body at all."

Seeing that Yao was really angry, Hua Changxi quickly apologized: "Mother, I was wrong. I won't do it again."

Mrs. Yao had no way to deal with her daughter. She had her own ideas since she was young. Unless she agreed with something from the bottom of her heart, no matter how the adults disciplined her, she would dare to do it again next time.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard a noise from the main room.

Hua Changxi quickly pried open the door to take a look, then stretched out his index finger to his lips, made a gesture to Yao to keep quiet, and whispered:

"Mother, it's grandma who's gone out to weave. Please don't criticize me. If grandma knew I was out, I don't know how she would scold me."

The customs of the Jin Dynasty were similar to those of the Tang Dynasty. Girls were not prohibited from going out, but they were not encouraged either.

Old Mrs. Hua really didn't like the young lady in her family to go out casually. She thought that her love of going out was a sign of her wild and rebellious nature.

Yao also didn't want her daughter to be scolded by her mother-in-law, so she glared at Hua Changxi, then got up and left.

Soon, the conversation between Old Lady Hua and Yao could be heard in the yard.

Hua Changxi breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door, lay down on the bed, and began to think about what had happened in the past two days.

Warriors, demons, and cultivators.
She really didn't know much about this world. After traveling through time for thirteen years, she had only gotten a glimpse of it.

If you want to fully understand this world, it is obviously not enough to just stay in the small world of the Hua family.

She must be admitted to the Medical Department!
