Chapter 22: Success
Time flies, and years are like water.
Silently, the time has entered December.
The weather also turned colder, and the first heavy snow fell in Qingshui County.
In the void, there were goose-feather-like snowflakes, covering the heavens and the earth, and the entire county seemed to be wrapped in a layer of snow-white cotton clothes.
Even during the day, there are few pedestrians on the streets.
There are no bears and children having snowball fights.
Once you get the cold, it will cost you a lot of money.
If you are unlucky enough to run into a quack, you may lose your life.
"Gurgling ......"
In the courtyard, Chen Xuan boiled the secret medicine of dermabrasion.
After hundreds of repeated trials, the medicinal materials consumed exceeded one hundred taels of silver, and he had successfully imitated the secret medicine of dermabrasion a few days ago, but the secret medicine that had just been brewed was similar to that provided by Huang Hong.
After several days of trial and error, error correction, and correction.
The effect of the dermabrasion secret medicine he brewed is almost the same as that of the genuine dermabrasion secret medicine.
It can be said that this is the secret medicine of genuine dermabrasion.
With genuine dermabrasion secret medicine, Chen Xuan no longer needs Huang Hong's imitation secret medicine.
He boiled his own microdermabrasion medicine for his own use.
After a while, the secret medicine was boiled.
Chen Xuan picked up the casserole and poured the medicinal soup into the bowl to cool.
"One or two silver medicinal materials, boiled into secret medicine, with the bottle of the Giant Bear Martial Arts Hall containing the secret medicine, it can probably hold about twenty bottles, that is, it can be sold for twenty silver, this is really a huge profit!"
Chen Xuan sighed in his heart.
Even if Huang Hong sells two hundred yuan for a bottle of imitation secret medicine, twenty bottles are four thousand yuan, that is, four taels of silver, and there is three times the profit.
Moreover, the cost of the medicinal materials for this tael of silver was still purchased by him from the pharmacy.
Some big forces buy medicinal materials by themselves, and the cost of medicinal materials will only be cheaper and the profits will be higher.
Of course, now whether it is the original medicinal materials for refining the secret medicine or the secret medicine, the price has all increased, but no matter how the price rises, it is all earned by those big forces, and it is the martial artists who really spend the money.
Soon, the medicinal soup in the bowl cooled down and turned into a black paste, and Chen Xuan poured the cooled dermabrasion secret medicine into a gourd as big as a blue ball and preserved it.
"With the secret medicine of two gourds, it is enough for me to cultivate until the end of dermabrasion."
It has been nearly three months since he stepped into the dermabrasion realm, and Chen Xuan is about to complete the dermabrasion of the upper body, and the secret medicine of the two gourds is enough for him to complete the cultivation of the dermabrasion realm.
"I'm making a secret medicine of a gourd in case of emergency."
Pouring out the medicine residue in the casserole, Chen Xuan continued to boil the medicine.
Dermabrasion secret medicine, in addition to helping the cultivation of the dermabrasion realm martial arts, can also be used to treat external injuries, the martial artist has suffered a flesh injury, the use of dermabrasion secret medicine can be quickly recovered.
Therefore, the secret medicine of dermabrasion has always been very popular, and it is not worried about selling at all.
But the business of this skin grinding secret medicine has long been scraped by several major forces.
Chen Xuan has no background, no power, even if he can refine a genuine dermabrasion secret medicine, he can only use it himself, if he dares to sell it secretly, once it is discovered, those big forces will not let him, a nobody, rob the business.
In this Qingshui County, the forces that occupy the business of skin grinding secret medicine are not comparable to the small forces of Huiyuan Medical Center, such a force can destroy Huiyuan Medical Hall with one finger.
Chen Xuan's little arms and legs couldn't block one of the other party's fingers.
……
……
A few days later, the snow melted away.
Chen Xuan came to the Giant Bear Martial Arts Hall to train.
On the spacious training ground, there were only a few people practicing.
With the rise in prices, people from ordinary families can't afford to practice martial arts, and they want to eat meat to practice martial arts, but now the price of pork has risen to 150 wen a catty, and the prices of rice, noodles and vegetables are rising, and the rice is about to be unaffordable, and there are no conditions for practicing martial arts.
Since November there have been few new apprentices, only a few old faces remain.
After the dermabrasion training, Chen Xuan applied the secret medicine and came to the rest area.
"Chen Xuan, there has been some chaos outside recently, don't run around."
Huang Hong opened his mouth to remind.
"What's the news from Senior Brother Huang?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan's heart sank, and he immediately asked.
"I'm just talking casually, don't be nervous." Huang Hongdao: "You also know, under the influence of the Koutian rebellion in Wanzhou, the bandits in Yuanzhou are much more rampant than before, and some bandits have learned the same way, united to form a chaotic army, burning and plundering everywhere, some time ago the heavy snow closed the mountain, and the bandits hiding in the mountains have eaten up the food, and they will definitely go down the mountain to rob, so don't go around." ”
"I see, thank you Senior Brother Huang for reminding me."
Chen Xuan nodded.
"By the way, you really don't need a secret potion?"
After chatting a few words, Huang Hong began to sell the secret medicine again.
Since Chen Xuan didn't buy the secret medicine from Huang Hong, the other party would come to ask once a day.
"I can't help this price increase, the price of pork and rice is rising, and the medicinal materials are naturally rising, it used to be 200 wen a bottle, but now the medicinal materials are also in short supply, and the medicinal materials in some places can't be shipped, now it's 500 wen a bottle, but it will definitely continue to rise in the future." Huang Hong said: "Now the authentic dermabrasion secret medicine, the outside will be 1,500 wen a bottle, you buy a bottle of genuine dermabrasion secret medicine, you can come to me to buy three bottles, why not save the money you can save?" ”
"Senior Brother Huang, the hall owner is here."
Chen Xuanzheng was thinking about how to find a reason to refuse, and when he saw Tang Yunxiong enter the martial arts hall, he immediately took out Tang Yunxiong as a shield.
Seeing Tang Yunxiong walk in, Huang Hong was also a little weak and immediately walked away.
"Huang Hong, come here, I have something to ask you."
When Tang Yunxiong saw Huang Hong, he immediately called Huang Hong over.
"Ah, the master spares his life!"
After a while, Chen Xuan heard Huang Hong's screams.
"What's going on, could it be that Senior Brother Huang's private sale of secret medicine was discovered?"
"It's possible, otherwise, Senior Brother Huang, as an official disciple, if he just made a small mistake, how could he alarm the hall master to do it himself, it must be that the sale of secret medicine has been discovered."
"Selling secret medicine privately, Senior Brother Huang is really bold enough, if this matter is discovered, there must be no way to live."
"Senior Brother Huang is dead, so it's not like we can't buy cheap secret medicine."
"The secret medicine is now one price a day, if we want to complete the cultivation of the dermabrasion realm, we will have to pay hundreds of taels, or even thousands of taels of silver, even if we find a few gangs to be attached to, that little silver tael is not enough for our cultivation at all."
“……”
Hearing Huang Hong's screams, the Dermalist Grinding Realm martial artists in the martial arts hall all gathered together and whispered.
For Huang Hong's death, they had already expected it in their hearts.
Selling secret medicine privately in the Giant Bear Martial Arts Hall, as long as it is discovered, there is basically no way to live.
It's a pity for them that after Huang Hong died, there was no cheap secret medicine.
Without enough secret medicine to support cultivation, the cultivation progress of the Dermabrasion Realm would definitely be affected.
"This world is really cruel!"
Thinking of Huang Hong, who was still selling secret medicine to himself a moment ago, and now that Huang Quan had died, Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
