Chapter Forty-Eight: Withered Branches

As for the reason why Gao Quan didn't make a move, Hong Tao thought it was because of the so-called family task, but it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't mean to provoke the Zeng family for the time being.

Hong Tao went directly to the Gu family, since the family was fine, if the second elder was unwilling to come over, Hong Tao couldn't let Chen Mingfei pull them over.

Gu Yuanqiu told him a few days ago that the medicinal materials he wanted had almost been prepared, and it happened that Hong Tao went over to take a look.

Sitting in the taxi, Hong Tao took out the wooden box that was searched from Zeng Yongming's body, and it must be worth a lot of money if it can be placed close to Zeng Yongming.

This small wooden box alone looks very valuable, the wooden box smells faintly aromatic, Hong Tao has no research on wood, so he doesn't know what material it is.

The wooden box is carved with delicate patterns on both sides, and a small iron lock hangs in the center. Iron locks are more decorative and not very strong in themselves. Hong Tao didn't need the key at all, he just pinched it hard, and the iron lock opened.

What will be in such a delicate box, Hong Tao is looking forward to it.

"I'm going, is it so pitiful?" Looking at a dead branch lying in the box, Hong Tao instantly galloped past a group of grass and mud horses in his heart.

If this withered branch is strange, it doesn't matter if Hong Tao doesn't know it, but this withered branch Hong Tao has not only seen it, but is also very familiar with it.

The whole dead branch is only the thickness of a finger, but the material is hollow, this is the branch of the plane tree, Hong Tao scolded his mother's heart, take such a tall box to put a piece of plane branch, conscience will not hurt?

Fortunately, it was in a taxi, if it was on the side of the road, Hong Tao promised to throw it directly into the trash, Hong Tao is now wondering if Zeng Yongming has a brain disease.

"It's here, thirty." The driver was very cold, and he didn't say a word to Hong Tao during the whole process.

Hong Tao handed over fifty yuan, he could ask Gu Yuanqiu to come and pick him up, but it was better to take a taxi directly when he came over, Hong Tao felt that it was more convenient to buy a car before, but now he feels that it is convenient to take a taxi if he has money.

"Master, do you believe that my money will make money?" Hong Tao opened the car door, but did not get out of the car.

The driver turned his head to look at Hong Tao, then shook his head, "I don't believe it." ”

"I don't believe you still want me to pay for it."

System: +60 malicious value from Money.

This is a rich area, and generally those who come here will tip, and the driver subconsciously thinks that Hong Tao is not bad for money, but the one who pulls it over is still a stingy ghost......

The security guard of the Gu family knew Hong Tao and notified the Gu family after he was directly released, and not long after Gu Huanfeng, the head of the Gu family, came out in person.

"Mr. Hong didn't say a word when he came, he lost his welcome, he lost his welcome." The current Gu family has listed Hong Tao as a master, not only has exercises, but also formations, and also has an alchemist master, this identity will definitely not be as simple as it seems.

Hong Tao smiled, "I'll come to see how your medicinal materials are prepared, my master has already taught me the method of refining medicine." ”

Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum. Others are polite to themselves, and Hong Tao will also be honest with each other, at least so far, the Gu family has done a good job.

Gu Yuanqiu didn't know that Hong Tao was coming, he happened to be going out at this time, and he was stunned when he saw Hong Tao, and then he thought that he seemed to have cleaned up Hong Tao a few days ago......

"Hehe, where are Gu Gongzi going?" Hong Tao smiled at Gu Yuanqiu, I don't know why, Gu Yuanqiu always felt a chill in his back.

Gu Yuanqiu hurriedly waved his hand, "That, I have something to do, go out." Gu Yuanqiu thought in his heart that he couldn't be provoked, he couldn't be provoked, so it was okay to go out and hide first.

As a result, the head of the Gu family came directly, "You communicate more with Mr. Hong, don't go out yet." ”

Hong Tao not only has high strength, but also has a mysterious background, the head of the Gu family felt that Gu Yuanqiu would definitely be beneficial to follow Hong Tao, so he did not hesitate to trap his son......

The head of the Gu family and Hong Tao walked side by side in front, and Gu Yuanqiu followed reluctantly behind, providing Hong Tao with a few malicious values from time to time.

"I have asked people to prepare all the medicinal materials you requested, but there is still a medicinal herb that I can't find, I'm afraid it will take a while." Unconsciously, the name of the head of the Gu family to Hong Tao has changed to you, which is enough to see that he attaches great importance to Hong Tao.

"Why don't you go and take a look at the herbs?" The head of the Gu family asked.

"Okay, okay, I'll see it later, I'm a little tired, let's get some sleep first." Hong Tao himself didn't know what the medicinal materials looked like, but if he was refining the medicine, he could directly strengthen the learning, and it was not a big problem.

It's just that this reinforcement learning takes an hour to complete, and he has to "sleep" first.

……

The head of the Gu family was caught off guard, did he just sleep in the middle of the day?

"Yuanqiu, you take Mr. Hong to rest." Hong Tao is a distinguished guest, but the head of the Gu family doesn't mind too much.

Gu Yuanqiu took Hong Tao to the guest room, trying not to speak all the way, trying to reduce his sense of existence, hoping that Hong Tao would forget what happened before.

It was the Gu family's idea to promote Bing, but it was only Gu Yuanqiu's own idea to reveal that Hong Tao had broken into the pyramid scheme. He just couldn't swallow the breath that Hong Tao called him in the middle of the night, and decided to let Hong Tao sleep badly in the middle of the night.

"Guess I'm the kind of person who holds grudges?" Hong Tao suddenly patted Gu Yuanqiu's shoulder, revealing eight white teeth and asking him.

Gu Yuanqiu may be the person who knows best what kind of person Hong Tao is, Hong Tao usually doesn't scare Chen Ming much, but when he was in the mine, he regarded Gu Yuanqiu as an after-dinner pastime every day.

"Do you guess me?" Gu Yuanqiu replied, his intuition told him that no matter whether he answered yes or no, it would not end well.

"I guess so." Hong Tao slapped Gu Yuanqiu directly on the back of the head, he didn't use too much strength, but now he slapped Gu Yuanqiu casually.

System: Malicious value from Gu Yuanqiu +96.

"In addition to Zeng Yongming, there are three refining body triple ones in the underground of Imperial City Entertainment, and there is one who doesn't know what strength, why don't you tell me?" Hong Tao did not continue to scold Gu Yuanqiu, but asked about this matter, Gu Yuanqiu would not joke about this kind of thing even if he wanted to be disgusted.

"Impossible, Huangcheng Entertainment has always been watching Yongming alone, refining the triple is not a cabbage, how can you throw three of them?" Gu Yuanqiu directly denied it, there were few Gu family refining body refining, and even he was just refining the body.

Three refining bodies, and a master who doesn't know the strength, the Zeng family will never use it to guard an underground casino.

Hong Tao nodded, it seems that Gu Yuanqiu doesn't know about this, "They seem to have some family tasks, and it's not my business to investigate or not." ”

The Zeng family and the Gu family have always been in competition, Hong Tao knew that Gu Yuanqiu would definitely investigate, and he told Gu Yuanqiu that he was actually selling the Gu family's favor.

It is rare that Hong Tao did not continue to scare Yuanqiu, but went directly to the house and lay on the bed and began to intensify the study of the "Washing the Scriptures and Cutting the Myelin Pill" Danfang.

What Hong Tao didn't expect was that Danfang actually needed 10,000 malicious values to learn, you must know that it was only a few thousand before, and it seems that the malicious values needed to learn different skills are also different, which can also see the difference of "Washing the Meridian and Cutting the Myelin Pill".

Fortunately, Hong Tao has a lot of malicious value today, although he is still a little distressed, he still chooses reinforcement learning, no way, this Danfang depends on himself to see, and he can't understand it at all.

After strengthening, Hong Tao's malice value is still 50,000, not only is it not less, but it is also a lot more because of the lesson Zeng Yongming. Hong Tao suddenly regretted a little at this time, and he didn't slap Zeng Yongming a few times.

The reinforcement learning of the pill is different from the formation, the formation is just enough to understand the principle and the formation diagram, but the pill also needs to know the name and function of each medicinal material, which is a lot of learning.

This is also the reason why many masters of Chinese medicine are very old, and there are many Chinese herbal medicines, and it takes a lot of time to write them down one by one. Moreover, it is necessary to note down the medicinal properties and characteristics of each medicinal material, which is much more complicated than Western medicine.

It only took an hour for the system to make Hong Tao remember a large number of medicinal materials, which was simply too rebellious.

Even if Hong Tao only learned the medicinal materials needed for the "Washing the Meridian and Cutting the Myelin Pill" in this intensive study, it was the same for him to feel a little dizzy after an hour, and the information he obviously received couldn't be digested for a while.

With the experience of the previous times, Hong Tao set the alarm clock this time, otherwise he would not be able to wake up until night after he fell asleep.

Rubbing his temples, Hong Tao walked out of the room confidently, Gu Yuanqiu didn't know what to do, he should have gone to investigate the Zeng family.

There was a special person guarding the door, and after Hong Tao woke up, he asked him if he had any other requirements, and I had to say that the head of the Gu family was really attentive.

Hong Tao didn't ask for anything, he wanted to see how the medicinal materials were now, refining the medicinal materials not only benefited the family, Hong Tao didn't know his qualifications, but there should be no problem with eating a few "Washing the Meridian and Cutting the Pulp Pill".

There is a warehouse in the backyard of the Gu family, because it is in the villa, the area is not particularly large, but if you want to talk about the functionality of the warehouse, it is really not to say.

Whether it is a vacuum warehouse or a cold storage, there are all here, Hong Tao has to sigh at the heritage of a big family, you must know that some medicinal materials are not easy to preserve, even if ordinary people collect so many medicinal materials, they cannot store them for a long time. When the medicinal materials are complete, I am afraid that the previous medicinal materials have lost their medicinal effect.

Entrusting the matter of finding medicinal materials to the Gu family, Hong Tao was also crooked and made a wise choice.

"Mr. Hong is awake, the medicinal materials are stored here, you can see if you can use it, and there are ......" The head of the Gu family is here, but it seems that there is something unspeakable.

"If you have something to say, you're welcome." Hong Tao said directly.

The head of the Gu family was a little embarrassed, "The pharmacist here is a master of Chinese medicine, and his temper is not very good, but we don't know those medicinal materials either, so we asked the master to find them." If the master is offended, don't you ...... it?"

The head of the Gu family didn't continue, just looked at Hong Tao with a smile, meaning to let Hong Tao not have the same knowledge as the one inside.

"No problem," he is a master of Chinese medicine, and it is normal to have a little temper, after all, he is an elder, Hong Tao agreed in one bite, but maybe even he didn't expect what the temperament of the master of Chinese medicine in it was.

As soon as the warehouse was opened, Hong Tao saw an old man with white hair and white beard, wearing brown linen clothes, sitting inside, and the other party was holding a copy of "The Book of Materia Medica" in his hand, and his identity was self-evident.

The head of the Gu family was a little embarrassed, but he only coughed twice and didn't speak.

He didn't tell Hong Tao that this master of Chinese medicine had to stay here and not leave, he wanted to see who asked for so many medicinal materials, and he also wanted to see if that person really understood medicinal materials.

The master of traditional Chinese medicine is old, and even the head of the Gu family has no way to die.
