Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 42: Another promotion in rank, with twists and turns. From a retainer to the head of a medicine hall!
I saw that both sides were silent.

Zipaohe's expression eased, and then he looked at Lu Chengfeng, whose face gradually became stern, and said:

"Old Lu, you know."

"Although the master asked us to form the 'Fengyun Society', he still stayed in Jiangyin Prefecture to establish the main society, except for sending his representative to represent us."

"Once you have accumulated enough merits for the government, you can exchange them for the 'secret teachings', so that the Fengyun Society can truly get rid of this miscellaneous 'society' and become the real Fengyun Sect, entering the mainstream!"

"When the time comes, our younger generations will have the opportunity to enter the mansion and receive guidance. Even people like me may be able to learn the 'Secret Skin Refining Method' and make further progress."

"There's nothing like that in the county."

"I have been working for so many years, and it seems that I have quite a lot of property."

"But compared to the opportunity for future generations to come forward, we naturally cannot be careless, otherwise the three of us would not be meeting here today."

"Among the seven halls, apart from the original three, we still have the final say."

"The remaining four halls, the Discipline Hall, the Martial Arts Hall, the Scripture Hall, the Chief and Deputy Chief, are all controlled by the boys and disciples of our three families. Only this medicine hall is left."

He used his abdominal secrets without making any sound, so only Lu Chengfeng and Wei Dingchang could hear him.

"There's too much oil and water in this."

"If you want to tell me that this boy you want to take in as your son-in-law can refine the eighth-grade 'Bone Tempering Realm' pill, I won't tell you anything."

"But he hasn't even mastered the art of strengthening his tendons yet. At this age, you said he has learned the ninth-grade alchemy technique from 'Medicine House'?"

"But I don't believe it."

"The temper of the man in your fire kiln and medicine house is not the kind to teach a disciple."

"Even if you want him to take the position, it's not appropriate to be so anxious, right?"

"In my opinion, it would be better to spend a lot of money to invite the Huang Yaoshi from the 'Medicine House' to come forward and take charge of the 'Medicine Hall'. This way, we can convince everyone."

"After all, in Anning County within 500 miles, there is no one who can refine pills for us with better skills than him."

Lu Chengfeng raised his eyes and looked at the two chairs on his left and right, and said in a light tone:

"Do you think Huang Xuan works for me?"

"Do you know that I not only have to clear the land for him, but also have to pay him a lot of silver every year?"

"That's it. The old man just ignored me."

"These famous alchemists are all money-eating beasts."

"You two, I didn't insist on placing Ji Xiu in the medicine hall. I wanted to hire an eighth-grade alchemist to take charge, and then ask me, who has mastered the art, to 'steal the teacher' and learn from him. When I succeed,..."

"Isn't it equivalent to my Fengyun Association also having its own alchemist?"

He looked calm and composed.

Xu Zhuang narrowed his eyes and Wei Dingchang's face trembled.

Old fox!
They both cursed inwardly at the same time.

The three of them learned boxing at the same time in Jiangyin Prefecture, and came back to show their skills and open up their own businesses.

Although they seem to be in harmony on the surface, they are only superficial brothers.

This time, now that I am middle-aged, I heard that my old master had made further progress. I immediately felt that my chance had come and I wanted to give it one last try.

At this time, occupying one or two halls and placing some important figures there means grabbing more say.

"no!"

"The best we can do is ask this kid to work as a manager in the pharmacy!"

"When he can really refine an eighth-grade pill in the future, and then practice more, it won't be a problem for him to be promoted to a higher level, right?"

"It's hard to convince others if you don't even have the Bone Tempering Realm."

Wei Dingchang waved his hands, as if he wanted to stop talking, and Xu Zhuang on the side also echoed him in secret.

Lu Chengfeng showed regret about this, but he knew that since these two people had a tough attitude, he could only get so much.

Then, Wei Dingchang, who had been questioning, turned to a friendly expression:

"Ji boy, you have great talent. To be honest, I, Old Wei, admire you very much, and I also know Old Lu's good intentions."

"But the road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten bite by bite."

"You should go to the Medicine Hall to hone your skills first, and then the three of us will go to the thatched cottage three times to invite the one in the Medicine Hall to sit as the head of the Medicine Hall."

"By then, you can learn a lot from him."

"Come, sit in the front."

Wei Dingchang was talking with a smile, and just as he was waving his hand, suddenly——

boom!
But he saw that the door that had just been closed when Ji Xiu and Lu Hongyu came in.
He was kicked away by an old man with white beard and wearing a long gown.

Huang Xuan cursed and strode in:
"Pharmacy Hall, Fengyun Club? What is that?"

"When did I say I would work for you?"

"No, no!"

This sudden scene caused an uproar.

Some who were slower in thinking drew their swords and stood up, their eyes wide open:

"Where did this old man come from to make a scene? Do you know where this is?!"

"Retreat now"

Before he could finish his words, the person in the top three chairs stood up and shouted him back to his seat without saying a word.

"Hurry up and take your seat, hurry up and take your seat"

"Why do you want to leave the 'Medicine House'?"

Whether it was Lu Chengfeng, Xu Zhuang, or Wei Dingchang, they all smiled and acted friendly when they saw the visitor.

Where is there any trace of the person who evaluated Ji Xiu before?
Huang Xuan is one of the few seventh-grade alchemists in Anning County within a radius of 500 miles!

In Jiangyin Prefecture, it may not be worth mentioning.

but.
For the local tyrants, any alchemist who is willing to come to this poor and remote county is a guest of honor.

This is especially true for those of them who make a living by traveling along the 500-mile mountain road.

Otherwise, the wild delicacies, medicinal herbs, and the tonic foods from tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves
Who should I go to to refine the precious elixir and temper my muscles, bones and skin?

If the pills were shipped from other places, not to mention whether they were enough, the loss of the pill properties over time would be unimaginable, not to mention the expensive "shipping costs".

"Humph."

Huang Xuan's expression finally eased as he looked at the eyes in the hall focused on him.

There was a lot of noise inside.

He ran all the way in, lay down through the crack in the door and eavesdropped for a while before he figured out what was going on.

So he thought about it for a while, and then he felt confident and kicked the door open.

He was sure that these three guys would give him face, otherwise how could he be so confident?
Huang Xuan put his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering, and glanced at Ji Xiu, successfully seeing the surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help laughing in his heart:

"You little brat, do you really think that just because I'm usually so shameless and act like I don't care about anyone, that's just my nature?"

"If I had that kind of temper, it would be a miracle if I could learn the art of alchemy from the master!"

"Look how I can catch you, kid."

He stretched out his sleeves and faced the three major owners, now the three 'vice presidents' of Fengyun Club, with an arrogant demeanor and refused to take a seat.

Instead, he walked up to Ji Xiu, calmly patted his shoulder:
"Boy, look at me."

"Give you a break!"

He laughed softly, then turned serious, frowned, glanced around, and said disdainfully:
"What good is it for a poor hall master to manage the livelihoods of those medicine sellers and buyers under you, as well as dozens of people?"

"I'm used to being surrounded by people."

“But now I see a good seedling.”

"I finally fell in love with this kid, and you just abducted him here as soon as you formed this 'Fengyun Society'?"

"That won't do."

"Master Lu."

"You want me to come to your 'Fengyun Club'? Sure!"

"But, I have one condition."

Lu Chengfeng was slightly stunned:
"Uh"

However, Xu Zhuang and Wei Dingchang took the lead and said decisively:

"It's just one condition. It's too little for Mr. Huang."

"But as long as Mr. Huang is willing to join my 'Fengyun Society'."

"Whatever you want to do, just ask!"

One condition?
So easy to bribe?
That's much better than using real gold and silver from the kiln and doing everything you can to invite them.

In front of everyone, if you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever!
All eyes in the room were focused here.

Huang Xuan smiled slightly when he saw that the effect he wanted was achieved.

Then, he slowly turned his gaze towards Ji Xiu, pointed at him, and said:

"Old man, if he can become the head of your so-called 'Medicine Hall', only then will I be willing to take charge."

"If not"

“No matter who comes, I won’t do anything!”

This statement came out.

For a while.

The Fengyun Club was newly established, and all future members, including the tit-for-tat 'direct party' Lu Yu, Xu Heng, Wei Zhi, and the 'disciple party' Luo Xiao, Li Ye, Fang Xiao.
They were all confused.

Including the three masters, the three current vice presidents were also stunned:

".who?"

It seemed that the whole room was bustling with activity and everyone was arguing to their heart's content.

Ji Xiu thought that it had little to do with him, so he stayed to watch the fun, hoping to ask the great owner Lu to get some benefits for him and open up a way to the "city".

As a result, I suddenly found that it seemed that
He has become a 'big boss'.

"The leader of a party..."

"I?"
