Chapter 109: The Shock of the Family
Half a month later, Sima Youyue was already familiar with the refining of the second grade of the elixir, and the long-term refining made her a little tired, so she gave herself a break for a while and came out to see what her roommates were doing.
"Youyue, you're out?" Seeing Sima Youyue, Qu Fatzi hurriedly walked over.
"Fatty, what's wrong? Seeing that you are anxious, could it be that there is a beautiful woman chasing you from behind? Sima Youyue teased with a smile.
Qu Fatzi came over, looked at Sima Youyue and said, "I want a beautiful woman to chase me, but it's a pity that my brother's handsome appearance has not been appreciated by beautiful women." Heck, I'm not telling you this, if you don't come out again, I'm going to call you! β
"What's wrong?" Sima Youyue asked.
"It's the General's Mansion, and it's been in big trouble lately...... Eh, what are you pulling me to do! β
Before Qu Fatzi finished speaking, he was pulled away by Sima Youyue.
"Come back with me, talk as you go. Tell me what happened during this time. β
When Sima Youyue returned to the General's Mansion, in addition to Sima Youming and Sima Youqi, who had been in charge of affairs, even Sima Youran and Sima Youle also returned.
This is the first time the family has gotten together after Sima Youyue was beaten last time.
Seeing Sima Youyue come back, Sima Lie and they were also surprised. Before, they sent someone to the academy to find her, and Qu Fatzi and they brought a letter back to say that she was in retreat, so they didn't bother her anymore, but they didn't expect that now she came back directly.
Seeing the fat man Qu who came back together, Sima Lie said, "Housekeeper, take Gongzi Qu to the living room for a cup of tea." β
"Yes, General." The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Young Master Qu, please." β
Qu Fatzi glanced at Sima Youyue and said, "Then I'll go first, if you need anything, you send someone to call me." I can say something in the music house now. β
Sima Youyue smiled and nodded at him. Willing to lend a helping hand to them at this time, she made a note of this affection.
Qu Fatzi arched his hand towards the others and followed the butler.
The smile on Sima Youyue's face slowly receded, and she turned to look at Sima Lie and said, "Grandpa, brother, I heard from my brother that the General's Mansion has been looking for half a month and hasn't found an alchemist?" β
"It's not that I didn't find it." Sima Youming said, "It's just that when those alchemists heard about the situation in the General's Mansion, they all opened their mouths and made a lot of excessive demands. Grandpa was angry, so he kicked them all out. β
After speaking, he glanced at Sima Lie complainingly.
"Ahem, taking advantage of people's danger, such an alchemist still wants us to worship them, joke!" Sima Lie didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and he was still angry at those alchemists.
Sima Youyue found that Sima Lie seemed to have a great prejudice against alchemists, and as long as he met such an alchemist, his fiery temper could not be suppressed.
"Grandpa, we're all at this point now, you can't control your temper." Sima Youming said with a headache.
"Grandpa, although your strength is stronger than that of the ancestors of the Nalan family, they are not going to fight with us now, we must find a way to hold on to our family business." Sima Youqi said.
"Our family is short of time, and the Nanalan family is a fairly old family. They've been attacking us commercially like this now, and Grandpa can't go up and kill people directly. Sima Youran analyzed, "But they can continue to weaken our strength. We have to find a way to stop this from going any further. β
"I think it's better to go ahead and invite the alchemist." Sima Youle said, "With such a big Dongchen Kingdom, can all the alchemists be bought by the Nalan family, or they can't be robbed while the fire is hot!" β
"But our elixir was gone yesterday, and there have been fewer customers coming to our store since yesterday." Sima Youming said, "In such a short period of time, where can we go to find an alchemist." β
"This ...... Alas! β
Sima Youyue sat in his seat and listened to their discussion, seeing that they were all frowning, and said, "That, how much do you need for the pill?" Maybe I can ......"
"Fifth brother, you don't have to meddle in this matter now. You'd better go back to the academy and practice hard. We're here at home. Sima Youming interrupted Sima Youyue's words with a loud voice.
It was enough for them to worry about these things, and there was no need to let Sima Youyue worry with them.
"I have the elixir." Sima Youyue said.
"It's useless if you have elixir...... What, you have the elixir? Sima Youming was halfway through his words before he reacted to what Sima Youyue said, and looked at Sima Youyue in surprise.
Sima Youyue nodded and said, "I have a pill, you can take it to the emergency first." And there is no cost to this, you can keep the price lower than the Nalan family. β
"Fifth brother, do you really have an elixir?"
"Fifth brother, how do you have the elixir?"
"What elixirs do you have? How many? β
Everyone reacted and looked at her.
"There are commonly used pills, what is the hemostatic pill, return qi and so on." Sima Youyue said, with a wave of her hand, hundreds of pill bottles appeared on the floor of the study.
"These are all pills?" Sima Youming asked in disbelief.
"Brothers, just look at it." Sima Youyue said.
Sima Youqi and the four of them stepped forward, each took a jade bottle, and opened it full of pills.
"I'm afraid there are thousands of these pills combined!" Sima Youqi said excitedly.
Sima Lie also stepped forward and took a jade bottle to open it, and sure enough, it was all pills.
"Fifth brother, where did you get so many pills?" Sima Youming looked at Sima Youyue excitedly, "How much did it cost?" β
Sima Youyue touched his nose and said, "I didn't ask for money for this." β
"Didn't ask for money? So how did you get there? β
"Youyue, don't you promise others to do bad things for the sake of these pills!"
The people in the room all shifted their gaze from the pill to Sima Youyue.
Uh-
Sima Youyue's face was covered with black lines by their reaction, how could they have such a reaction?
"I refined these pills myself, so I didn't ask for money. It's not like you want to promise people anything bad. β
Hearing her explanation, they were relieved, as long as nothing happened to her.
"It scared the hell out of us." Sima Youqi said, "There is no free lunch in this world, and we are still worried about what will happen to you." It turned out that you refined it, so we can rest assured. What the?! What did you refine? β
Now everyone was even more shocked than when they first saw these pills, and they couldn't even speak when they looked at her.
"Fifth brother, these pills are all refined by you?? YouβWhen will you do alchemy? Sima Youle wondered if he was hallucinating, they never knew that Sima Youyue would do alchemy, and suddenly such a thing appeared, everyone felt that it was illusory.
Sima Youyue secretly wondered if she wanted such a big reaction, and said with a smile: "Didn't I say last time that I wanted to learn alchemy, I will start learning it after I can cultivate!" β
It's okay if she doesn't say it, but when she says this, everyone's hearts that have just been shocked are hit hard again.
