Learning medicine is a money-burning thing, but it also has a lot of status after learning it. Pharmacist apprentices who have no money can only work as medicine collectors, and the medicine collectors often follow the medicine collection team leader to the mountains to collect medicines, and only when they have collected a certain amount of medicine can they become pharmacists.

Therefore, from a drug collector to a pharmacist, it takes nine deaths. Qingxiang Valley is to make money, and in order to train pharmacists, the number of pharmacists is too small, so the status of pharmacists is high. Although learning medicine is a life-and-death, it is a way out for many poor children and is still sought after by many poor people.

Rich family teenagers, of course, can spend money to go to the pharmacist college, but for the huge base of poor people, although studying medicine is nine deaths, there are still one-tenth of the people who can go to the upper echelons of society, and this one-tenth hope is still in this land, and there are still many people vying to go.

As a result, the medicine collectors have also been selected and selected by one out of a hundred.

There is also the use of money to buy places. Recruitment begins in autumn every year, and in more than a month, it will be the annual recruitment meeting of Qingxiang Valley.

Qingxiang Valley belongs to Yanqi City, Yanqi City is more than 800 miles away from the Youth City, Qingxiang Valley is just a small valley, located on the edge of Tiexia Ridge, Tiexia Ridge is a deep mountain gorge, which is rich in medicinal materials and is full of dangers.

Three weeks later, a half-new carriage walked along the straight road through a small forest, breaking the silence of the trail with the sound of the axles grinding against the planks.

There was a middle-aged man sitting in the carriage, about forty years old, with two raised eyebrows quite majestic, the middle-aged man was the third butler of the Xingqi family, Carter, and Carter was sending Xingqi to Qingxiang Valley to learn medicine.

"Fourth young master, you will almost arrive at Xinghe Village in front, and after Xinghe Village, you will be able to see Qingxiang Valley in a town.

Which town is called what comes, by the way, it is called Kaihe Town, the town is divided into two pieces by a small river, which river is called Kaihe, and Kaihe flows out of the mouth of Tiexia Ridge. ”

The housekeeper Carter may be in a hurry for more than ten days in a row, Xingqi was silent all the way, Carter was afraid that Xingqi would be unhappy, in order to reduce the depression in his heart and adjust the atmosphere, he introduced the place name, scenery and humanity along the way.

Xingqi didn't stay in the car, but sat at the right end of Carter, the so-called one will give birth to two will be ripe, Xingqi can also say a few words to this strange third housekeeper, listening to the housekeeper's experience outside, it is very beneficial to his future development in Qingxiang Valley.

"I've been to Kaihe Town before, and one of my tasks when I was a young mercenary was to escort a merchant from Kaihe City to buy a batch ......of medicine to Meier City to sell it and sell it around the fence, and then purchase other things," Carter said with a little nostalgia.

"Uncle Carter, you've been here before, can you tell me about the situation in Qingxiang Valley?" Xingqi asked.

"Speaking of Qingxiang Valley, where to talk about Qingxiang Danshi, Qingxiang Danshi is a two-star Danshi, which is an existence with a higher status than the lord of a city, it is said that the Danshi's real name is not Qingxiang.

It's because when I was doing a test in the Pharmacist Guild, I was supposed to refine a very smelly poison to refine a burst of fragrance, but its toxicity was not weakened at all, and it was strengthened a lot, so that the evaluation pharmacists couldn't make a decision on the spot, and only after taking it to the Pharmacists Guild to argue before admitting that the test passed.

Qingxiang Pharmacist also received a sum of money for this new medicine, and this is how the name came. Carthus said with a look of longing.

Karter saw that the fourth young master listened more seriously, so he drank the water, and then continued: "Later, Qingxiang built a medicine valley in this Tiexia Ridge, and did not choose another name, so he ran through this valley Qingxiang.

Qingxiang Danshi returned here to build a valley, firstly because this is his hometown, secondly, there is Tiexia Ridge here, and thirdly, in response to the call of the Pharmacist Guild to cultivate pharmacist talents for the empire.

There are dozens of senior pharmacists here every year, and there was once a one-star Danshi, that is, the current head of Qingxiang Valley, Haitianyang Danshi, who is the most proud disciple of Qingxiang Danshi. ”

Kaihe Town is now lively, because this autumn is Qingxiang Valley again, the biennial season of recruiting pharmacists and pharmacists, the streets of the town, the cars and horses, people come and go, the main road has been crowded with carriages, during this time the town's restaurants, inns are full of people, the street is even more congested, and it is difficult to move an inch.

However, many of the villagers in the town also came out of their houses to solicit customers on the main road, although they were not as comfortable as inns, but there was always a place to live, and many small nobles gladly accepted it.

Seeing so many carriages in the town, the whole scene was buzzing, and there were many children from poor families who were wrapped up in quilts and packed up, and they lived in the main square of the town, and there were many who begged all the way to come all the way.

Xingqi, under the leadership of Carter, negotiated the price with an old man from a family of Tian, half a gold coin a day, coarse tea and egg sheets are not picky, a gold coin is enough for a family of four to eat for a month, for a family like the old man, it is a lot of income, and it can be seen from this house how many people come here to apply.

Xingqi followed the old man to the old man's house, and the old man moved out of his family of three and lived in a small grass hut, and the three big houses in the family were given to the guests to live in, and each room had to collect one to two gold coins a day.

There is a large area of grass huts in the town, most of the residents are indeed locals, and the buildings are all inhabited by outsiders, and some simply build a grass hut and rent it out to outsiders.

"Uncle, don't you make a lot of money during this time when you rent a house like this in the town, you also have an income of seven gold coins a day, plus about ten days, which is also an income. Xingqi asked a little curiously.

"This son, we can only get a small percentage of the number of people we have to go to the town guard every day to keep a record, and most of them have to be handed over to the city guard and pay a certain tax.

However, every time Qingxiang Valley recruits, we can earn almost a year's expenses, which is also very good," another relatively young strong man also led a few guests to hear Xingqi's question, and replied with a smile.

"Yes, we should be content, those guards have protected us after all, you think how many people from other nearby villages want to move to the town. The old man happily said happily while leading the way.

A few days ago, three people lived in the old Han's house, two guards and a young master, living in the first room on the left, Xingqi and Carter lived in the third room, Carter was afraid that he would have to squeeze in with Xingqi for a few days, because there was still a week before Qingxianggu sent someone to recruit people.

In the afternoon, the old man brought back a rich lady and two one-star fighters. Miss Fu is about the same age as Xingqi, with two butterfly flowers on her head, she is a little beauty, judging from her outfit and guards, this young lady's family should be considered a small fortune, much stronger than Xingqi.

Since there was only one house left, the two guards wanted to plug in the front of Xingqi's room to make a bunk, so the old man came over to tell Xingqi that Xingqi didn't care, and Carter also wanted to help each other outside, so he agreed without much thought.

Carter is generous, Xingqi is humble, so which two guards and Carter are very compatible, and by the way, Xingqi also met the girl, named Yue Lan'er.

"What is this, so unpalatable," the guests of the three rooms were eating in the hall at night, and Yuelan's whispered complaint was still heard by everyone in the silent hall.

Xingqi ignored it and continued to eat the rice in his bowl, and the other young man didn't make a sound, but his face was a little dark, and his eyes were gloomy, and he knew at a glance that he was an undesirable nobleman in the small family, who was exiled here by the family.

"Hehe, it's just coarse tea and light rice, the little old man is not well entertained, Miss eat some light soup, and I'll add meat to everyone tomorrow." The old man's old face was a little unbearable, and he said urgently.

"Xingqi, are you here to recruit a pharmacist?"

"No, I'm here to recruit a medicine collector," Xingqi replied lightly.

"Young Master Levi, are you here to recruit a pharmacist?" Yue Lan looked at the other teenager twice. This young man is Levi, and Xingqi really didn't know his name before.

"Yes," replied the boy briefly.

"Ah, I'm also a pharmacist, and I'm going to be a great pharmacist in the future. Great, we will learn medicine together, please take care of it in the future. Yue Lan'er happily arched her hand to Levi.

"Ah, take care of me. Levi arched his hand too.

Watching the two of them talk more and more engaged, Xingqi really doubted that these two guys could talk so affectionately in front of so many people, could it be that men are hungry and women are thirsty, and dry firewood meets fire, and they can touch it.

Neither of them has entered Qingxiang Valley yet, and now the senior brother and sister get up, Xingqi felt nauseous and left the restaurant quickly.

An hour later, when Xingqi passed by the restaurant again, he found that Li Wei and Yue Lan'er had just finished chatting, and at this time there were only the two of them left on the table, Xingqi smiled quite interestingly, and went back to the room to rest.
