Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 34: Yaoshi Huang in Yaolu, completes the Black Turtle and Big Toad Style, prepares to advance the "alchemy technique", an old friend comes to visit!
Fire kiln, medicine house.

A carriage drove over from Luzhuang. Hong Jiang, wearing a knife, looked at the "hut" in front of him that was specially carved out around it, and couldn't help but envy:

"The eldest lady really values it. She even gave the leisurely job in the 'Medicine House' to Ji Xiumou."

He muttered to himself, and couldn't help but think of the work he had done, and suddenly felt sad.

This medicine house is so nice.

Huang Yaoshi is unkempt and weird all day long. If you don't make elixirs with him, he won't even pay attention to you. He just orders his servants and medicine boys around all day long.

At this time, you just need to find a free space in the yard, drink tea, practice martial arts, it’s up to you, and the day will pass by in a hurry.

On the contrary, it was myself.

The areas of shops in charge of "iron smelting" and "coal mining" were filled with smoke and fire, so choking that people could not open their eyes. In comparison, it was like heaven and hell!
In a moment, we arrived at the place.

He jumped down again and was about to serve as a 'human cushion', but was stopped by Ji Xiu, who motioned him to go back. He then walked into the medicine room without looking back.

Seeing Ji Xiu's blood boiling like a furnace, Hong Jiang's eyes were filled with envy:
"After all, there are people in the court who are easy to get things done, and there are idle tasks, and there are endless benefits."

"It's a pity that good looks are innate, and others can't ask for them."

"Ugh!"

"In just over half a month, he has developed this much muscle. How many pills did the young lady feed him?"

Entering the medicine room.

Ji Xiu glanced to the side and saw that on both sides of the spacious courtyard, the bamboo racks were filled with dried herbs, yams, or joint tonics from tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves.

Every now and then, a few medicine boys and servants wearing blue cloth clothes and with their hair tied up would come back and forth to dry and screen the medicinal materials.

And when Ji Xiu, dressed in black and with an iron knife on his waist, walked in.

Suddenly, a young man in apprentice clothes on the left heard the noise and came towards them:

"Is this Zhuangzi's new 'sword-bearing retainer'?"

Ji Xiu nodded slightly.

The young man saw this and smiled:

"Okay, I heard the news before. The master is 'Ji Xiu', right?"

"I'm Zheng Jun, an apprentice of 'Master Huang' in this medicine house. On weekdays, the master doesn't take care of things, so I take care of things for him."

Ok?
Ji Xiu looked at the young man named Zheng Jun in surprise.

"When I came here before, didn't you say that Huang Yaoshi had no disciples?"

Zheng Jun, who was leading the way, looked embarrassed when he heard this:
"Well, Master Huang really doesn't care about these things, but I have been fascinated by the art of alchemy for many years, and I have learned some skills. I have achieved the result of refining the 'ninth grade' ordinary pill, and I have been a medicine boy for many years."

"He saw that I could help out, so he just threw all the chores of the medicine house to me."

"Let's not talk about that. Sir, I will take you to meet Master Huang Yaoshi. He happens to be free at the moment and should meet you."

"But normally when you see smoke curling around the medicine house, don't disturb it. Otherwise, if the furnace explodes, the pharmacist will be in a bad mood and will really go to the owner of the manor to pick a fight!"

As he spoke, Zheng Jun quickened his pace and pushed open the ancient smoked wooden door.

As soon as you enter the house.

I watched several medicine boys busying around in the house, carrying medicinal herbs.

In the middle, an old man with gray hair and a dirty gray robe was banging on the alchemy furnace and muttering to himself. With his other hand, he was grinding ink and holding a pen, lying on the ground, recording something.

"Two ounces of twin lotus flowers, one ounce of hundred-year-old Xuanshan ginseng, and a pot of spiritual spring water."

"What else should I add? Spiritual medicine of the same nature cultivated in spiritual soil? Where can I find the material of 'earth treasure'? And the furnace exploded last time."

"No, no, it's still not right!"

"The information recorded in this 'half page' is really limited. How can I refine a Qi pill?!"

Stab it!

He suddenly jumped up and tore the paper he had just written into two pieces. After his rage, he scratched his hair, and the wrinkles on his face gathered together, making him look like he was in great pain.

It was only at this time that I noticed Ji Xiu brought by Zheng Jun.

So he turned around and looked at her a few times, and said in a neutral tone:

"A new guest?"

"Pick a room outside and live there by yourself. Come to me if you need anything. Don't bother me if you don't."

"Okay, let's go."

Huang Yaoshi finished his speech promptly and continued to ponder.

Zheng Jun was about to take Ji Xiu away.
But found out.

This person suddenly had the courage to step forward, picked up the torn page, and was immediately shocked:
"Sir, please don't do that."

Huang Yaoshi was lying on the ground with his butt sticking out. When he heard the footsteps, he turned his head with disheveled hair and was about to frown and speak.

Ji Xiu bowed and said, "Master Huang, when you start refining the elixir, can I help you and watch you do it?"

He said it with a sincere tone.

The disheveled old man looked at him picking up the pages of Dan that he had torn off. His eyes were as clear as spring water, and he was full of humility and eagerness to learn. He had none of the annoying air of a warrior.

He looked at it for a while with a stern face, sneered, and turned his head away:
"Another person sent by Master Lu to learn a craft?"

"He really doesn't give up."

"If you want to watch, watch. If you want to learn, learn. How much you can learn is up to you."

"That's how the old man got through it before. A qualified alchemist doesn't know how to 'taste and look'. In this life, he is just a person who follows the rules."

"As long as you can bear the pain of the smoke and fire, it's up to you, it's up to you!"

Time flies and a few days pass.

That day, in the evening.

The setting sun is shining down.

"call"

Ji Xiu performed the 'Black Turtle and Large Toad Pose' in the brick and stone courtyard, and took a breath of white air, which circulated for a full cycle with each inhalation and exhalation!
"drink!"

Spit it out.

It is over ten feet long and lingers for a long time, like the breath of a black turtle.

[Black Turtle and Giant Toad Style: (30/30)! ]

【Current: Complete! 】

[Advance payment completed, the recipient can advance martial arts and magic skills: 1! ]

"Sure enough, after I became a great master a few days ago, I completely digested the Tiger Blood Powder. My flesh and blood have become stronger and stronger with the continuous tempering and whipping of my strength!"

"Although, I am still about 30 to 40 kilograms away from completely 'condensing into mercury blood and exerting a hundred kilograms of strength'."

"But I can do the standing meditation twice a day, morning and evening!"

"The first volume of the 'Turtle Snake Great Rock Pillar', the chapter on nourishing blood, has been completely completed."

I remembered what Duan Chenzhou said about getting started in one month.

Ji Xiu couldn't help but smile faintly.

If this master saw
I don’t know if that expressionless face, which is always calm all year round, can ever show a second expression.

"But Zhuanggong is Zhuanggong. It just makes me take blood several times faster than ordinary people. But growing muscles and bones is not a one-day job."

"Those nobles and disciples of big sects claim to 'build the foundation in a hundred days and strengthen the tendons to achieve great success'. They rely on superior standing practice and take elixirs every day. How can I afford that?"

"Nourishing the blood is already difficult, and strengthening the tendons afterwards will be even more difficult without resources."

"only"

Thinking back to the past few days when I helped out and watched Huang Yaoshi start refining pills, a set of medicinal materials sent to him was only worth the price of one pill.

But as long as he succeeds in refining it, he can produce at least three or four pills in one furnace!

He pocketed the rest and only took one or two to give to the owner.

The most important thing is that they don’t try to hide it from others. The helpers or ordinary medicine boys can see it clearly!

As for those who asked the Medicine House to make pills, whether it was the Great Manor Master Lu Chengfeng or others, they all looked accustomed to it.
He was called Ji Xiu, and he was well aware of the huge profits involved.

Nima!

It turns out that all those who sell pills outside are middlemen who make a profit from the difference!
Only those who bought the goods felt miserable, watching the huge sums of money go into other people's sleeves.

He doesn't know about advanced elixirs.

At least, he could make these ordinary blood-nourishing and muscle-strengthening pills himself, open a shop called "Ji Family Pharmacy", and then use the name of Luzhuang.

Don’t you have all the resources to strengthen your muscles and bones in the future?!

Learn, you must learn!
Although I have completed half of the Turtle Snake Great Rock Posture, I have not yet fully mastered the blood-nourishing technique and cannot yet move on to muscle-strengthening.

The Teng Snake Chasing the Clouds style can wait.

Just right
Advance payment on 'alchemy' first!
Once you get started, use the money to buy some medicinal herbs, and after refining three or four pills, your blood will be completely nourished, and you will be able to enter the 'tendon strengthening stage'!
Ji Xiu was calculating his own future very well.

suddenly.

However, Hong Jiang came with an old man who had a hunched back, was wearing a steward's uniform, and was looking around with a look of envy and sighing on his face.

When he stepped into the yard, Ji Xiu squinted his eyes, looked closely, and suddenly smiled:

"Brother Yao?"

"Why did you think of coming out of the Lin residence to look for me tonight?"
