Chapter 06 The Six Courtyards of the Medicine Hall

The Red Mansion Medicine Hall is only two stories high, but if you want to talk about luxury, it is far beyond the Lingbao Pavilion branch in Jiyang City, and the Nie family's Spirit Medicine Hall and Alchemy Hall are far inferior.

The first floor deals with various medicinal herbs, and the second floor deals with finished elixirs, Long Xuechan only briefly introduced the layout of these two floors, and then took Nie Kong straight to the back of the medicine hall, where there are several courtyards side by side, and in a few courtyards, it can be seen that some figures are busy.

"Ahhh......h

When passing by a courtyard, the little guy suddenly jumped and screamed in the "Yao Chi Cave".

Nie Kong couldn't help but glance over, only to see that the gate of the courtyard was closed, and the nearly two-meter-high wall completely cut off his line of sight, but at the gate of the courtyard, a clear circular pattern could be seen, which seemed to be a small green dragon curled up into a ball.

What good medicine is hidden in this yard?

Such a thought popped up in Nie Kong's mind, and for him, this was almost a conditioned reflex.

Worried that Long Xuechan would be suspicious, Nie Kong quickly retracted his gaze, but secretly speculated in his heart that the medicine in the courtyard should not be a peerless medicine of the level of "Fire Tree Silver Flower", and it is estimated that it is a medicinal herb similar to "Snake Disc Blood Lotus" and "Electric Light Vine".

The medicinal power of the electric light vine has been consumed on the road as early as possible, and as for the "Fire Tree Silver Flower", it was able to secrete that red liquid in the first few days, but now no matter how the little guy watered it, it will not produce a drop, and the specific reason has not been understood for the time being.

In the past twenty days, Nie Kong has relied on the two big bags of herbs sent by Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin when he left Jiyang City, otherwise, he would have to refine and sell medicine all the way to get to Lingyu City.

Now, there is not much left of those two bags of medicinal herbs, and Nie Kong is also thinking about how to earn some food for the little guy during this time, if he can get his hands on the good medicine hidden in the courtyard, it will be easy for a few days. Of course, Italian silver is Italian silver, and Nie Kong is not stupid enough to make a move on the Red Mansion.

"Little brother, when you arrive, the chief steward is in this courtyard. Long Xuechan in front of her suddenly stopped and said with a delicate smile.

Nie Kong's consciousness was pulled back to reality by Long Xuechan, and he realized that before he knew it, he had followed Long Xuechan to the last courtyard. He quietly paid attention to the gate of the lower courtyard, and unlike the courtyards in front of him, there was nothing carved on the door here.

The inner hall was empty, with no furniture but a few futons in the center. Long An sat quietly like a stone sculpture, and when Long Xuechan and Nie Kong walked into the hall, his eyes suddenly opened, and the two red rays flashed away, and his expression returned to kindness.

Long An was not polite, and after motioning for Nie Kong and Long Xuechan to sit down on the futon, he went straight to the point, and said with a warm smile: "Little brother, have you considered what you want to do in the medicine hall?" Do you want to be an assistant to the elixir master in the Red Mansion, or study the elixir ingredients alone, or do something else that interests you?"

Nie Kong said: "You can choose by yourself?"

“......”

Long An smiled.

Nie Kong rolled his eyes and said tentatively: "When I came here, I saw that every courtyard here seems to have its own role, and there is a courtyard with a green dragon pattern carved on the door, I don't know ......" Seeing Long An and Long Xuechan looking at each other, there was no smile on their faces, Nie Kong couldn't help but stop.

Long An said in a different voice: "Little brother, do you want to go to that courtyard?"

Long An and Long Xuechan's expressions were a little strange, but now, Nie Kong had no choice but to say, "Can't you go there?" Or is that courtyard empty?"

"Not really. ”

Long An smiled dumbly, "This Red Mansion Medicine Hall is divided into eight courtyards, each academy has different research things, what you just said is the Six Courtyards, the old man has been running this Red Mansion in the Spirit Imperial City for decades, you are the first elixir master who took the initiative to ask to go to the Sixth Academy." Little brother, don't you regret it?"

No one else wants to go, so you have to take the initiative to go?

Nie Kong found that he was a little Meng Lang, but now he could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes." I don't know what the Sixth Academy is studying?"

"You'll find out tomorrow as soon as you go to the Sixth Courtyard. ”

Long An laughed and said, "Little brother, since your position has been decided, the old man will talk about your salary." When you first enter the Red Mansion, in addition to receiving 500 gold coins per month, you can also choose 20 kinds of medicines on the first floor of the pharmacy, each of which cannot exceed four taels, and this is not limited to research use. In addition, if you want to become a disciple of the outer city of the Spirit Imperial City, the Red Chamber can recommend you to enter the 'Medicine Heart Palace' of the Spirit Imperial City!"

Long Xuechan's beautiful eyes rolled, and she smiled coquettishly: "Little brother, this opportunity is not very much." Among the six halls outside the Lingyu City, this 'Medicine Heart Palace' is the most difficult to enter. With your ability, there should be no problem in entering, but with the recommendation of the Red Mansion, it can save you the trouble of assessment. Now those elixir masters gathered outside the medicine hall all want to enter the Red Mansion, and then be recommended by the Red Mansion to become disciples of the Medicine Heart Palace. ”

"Oh, thank you very much. ”

Only then did Nie Kong understand the real reason for the commotion outside the Medicine Hall of the Red Mansion, they all wanted to take this shortcut, it seemed that the assessment of the "Medicine Heart Palace" in the Spirit Imperial City was really as troublesome as Long Xuechan said. Since there is such a convenient method, Nie Kong will not pretend to refuse......

......

Not long after, Nie Kong said goodbye and left, and when he passed the sixth courtyard with the little green dragon carved on the door, the little guy shouted "ahhh Thinking that he would be able to enter that courtyard tomorrow to see what was going on, Nie Kong's mind was not as eager as the little guy.

After leaving the medicine hall and returning to the Red Mansion Inn, Long Xuechan led Nie Kong to a new residence, which was a very delicate small courtyard, which was naturally countless times better than the fifty gold coins a day room in front of her.

"Little brother, what kind of accommodation has the chief steward arranged for you? If you need a place like this, you can be accompanied by a maid who will satisfy you with whatever you ask. Long Xuechan's sweet voice came from the door, full of temptation.

Nie Kong turned around, his eyes wandered over Long Xuechan's mature and seductive delicate body, and said with an ambiguous smile: "How can a maid be as lovely as Sister Xuechan?" It's still early, why don't you follow me into the bedroom for a visit, finish what needs to be done, and maybe it's just in time for dinner when you go out." ”

"If the little brother is still so interested tomorrow night, sister, I will go into your bedroom for a visit. Long Xuechan giggled and floated out.

Seeing Long Xue Chan's figure disappear from the gate of the courtyard, Nie Kong restrained his smile, and seeing that it would take a while to reach the evening, he simply went into the bedroom and sat cross-legged. Reuniting with Bai Yuqing in Zhaoyang Town has somewhat stimulated Nie Kong, and now he has to use all his free time to cultivate.

The next morning, Nie Kong had a casual breakfast, and then rushed to the Red Mansion Medicine Hall. This time, without Long Xuechan to lead the way, Nie Kong was stopped by the guards many times, but fortunately, he had already obtained a jade plate from Long An yesterday to identify himself, and he didn't delay much time.

The gate of the sixth courtyard was opened, and it was quiet inside.

There are many medicinal herbs planted in the courtyard, and there is a small stone path in the middle. Nie Kong deliberately stepped a little heavier and walked towards the hall at the end of the stone path.

The closer he got, the more cheerful the little guy's cry in the Yaochi cave became, making Nie Kong look forward to it even more. More than thirty meters were quickly completed, Nie Kong took a light breath, crossed the threshold, and a bewitching smiling face like a flower came into view, and then, a wisp of strange fragrance wafted into his nose.

Nie Kong only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and his body fell to the ground limply......
