Chapter 20: Burning Money

Lin Ansheng was stunned.

The two women rented another house and continued to live in the same place, while he lived on the pretext that he had hired the two women to look after the hospital for them.

This was discussed last night.

It is not uncommon for the grassroots among the outer disciples to do things for the children of the family in exchange for payment.

Anyway, it is to sell labor to make up for the lack of cultivation resources, and it is the same whether the labor force is sold to the sect or the individual.

This is true for outer disciples, not to mention miscellaneous disciples.

The sect is also the default attitude.

From the perspective of cultivating disciples, the taste of being inferior to others can stimulate a person's contention and let go of the self-esteem that should not be there, so that the road of martial arts can go further.

As for why the two girls rented another courtyard and moved in, since it was empty, why did they hire Lin Ansheng to watch the hospital?

These two suspicious points, which are easy to arouse the suspicion of others, have also been discussed and explained to the outside world.

Renting this annex is the initiative of the two women's families, wanting them to have a better living environment when the sect election is coming, but the two daughters are determined not to enter the inner gate or the other courtyard.

hired Lin Ansheng to watch the hospital, that was the friendship formed by the mutual distress the night before, and the two women had the heart to help a group of miscellaneous disciples who had a meager monthly payment.

Anyway, the two girls don't live in another hospital, and Lin Ansheng lives alone, so it won't make people think more about their relationship...

After discussing the matter, why did you regret it after a night?

Could it be that this is what the ancients said, that women are fickle?

Without waiting for Lin Ansheng to speak, Qin Qianqian spread her hands, and said helplessly: "When I returned to my residence last night, I discussed it with Sister Yurou again, if this matter is known by the people of the family, it will definitely be suspicious." ”

"Besides, the sect election is coming soon, and we also want to change to a quieter place to live."

Shi Yurou on the side stared at Lin Ansheng with bright eyes and nodded his head heavily.

Lin Ansheng was a little embarrassed: "The others are nothing, it's just that I'm a man living with you..."

Qin Qianqian listened to half of it, and immediately said: "We can trust your character, you have to try something against us, the night before yesterday... We're not going to be safe either. ”

Speaking of such a topic, Shi Yurou couldn't regain the calmness of Qin Qianqian, who was a little delicate in her liveliness, and lowered her eyes a little shyly, but she still nodded her chin and hummed softly.

Lin Ansheng shook his head and said: "People are terrible, I am worried that if people are noticed, some gossip will be spread, which will damage the reputation of the two senior sisters." ”

Qin Qianqian looked surprised when she heard this, and Shi Yurou also lifted her eyes, her eyes confused.

Their reaction confused Lin Ansheng: "Am I not right? ”

This time it was Shi Yurou who answered him, and her voice was crisp and soft: "The senior brothers and sisters in the inner gate live in such a courtyard, and I haven't heard any gossip." ”

Qin Qianqian echoed: "Yes, several other courtyards in the outer gate are also lived by men and women, Senior Brother Fei, Senior Sister Ling, Senior Sister Tong live in another courtyard, Gu Changning, Qin Feng, and Senior Sister Ji also live in the same courtyard, how can there be any gossip, Sister Yurou and I were originally going to live in the same courtyard with a senior brother, and then that senior brother took over the task of the sect and did not come back after going down the mountain." ”

Lin Ansheng gradually came to his senses, and dared to love that the internal layout of all the courtyards is like this, which is equivalent to a small building, which is divided into three independent households, and when the landlord rents it out, how can he require that all three households must be male or female.

Under normal circumstances, everyone is not surprised, and it is easy to accept it.

You can't blame him for thinking too much, if you want to blame him, you can only blame him for staying in the chef all the time and not seeing enough.

Without this concern, it would be okay for the two girls to move in, Lin Ansheng thought about it again, there was nothing else wrong, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can just move in together." ”

With Lin Ansheng's permission, the two girls showed joy, and immediately, Qin Qianqian said: "The rent is shared equally among the three of us, and each person has twenty one-grade spirit stones." ”

As if he was afraid that Lin Ansheng would push back, Shi Yurou added: "The other senior brothers and sisters are also evenly divided like this." ”

Hearing them say this, Lin Ansheng was not hypocritical, and responded well.

......

That night, the three of them moved into another courtyard, Shi Yurou lived in the area on the left, Qin Qianqian lived in the area on the right, and Lin Ansheng lived in the middle area closest to the backyard.

Two days later, the herbs that the qin family helped to exchange arrived, and most of the carriage was loaded.

Another day, the medicinal herbs that the Shi family helped exchange also arrived, and half a carriage was loaded.

In addition to medicinal herbs, there are also a batch of necessities for refining medicines.

When everything was ready, the practice of alchemy began.

That night, in the room that Lin Ansheng used as a medicine refining house, Lin Ansheng lit a pile of charcoal fire, a small copper stove on it, and the hot water in the copper furnace was boiling.

According to a prescription for practicing hands, the six flavors of the herbs and the six flavors of the herbs were put into the copper furnace.

Then, the internal force is used to control the exuberance of the flame.

After a small half-burn incense effort, the liquid medicine in the copper furnace was dark red, Lin Ansheng realized that the internal force was too violent, and it was useless to suppress the internal force, and after a while, he heard a "bang", and the liquid medicine splashed out, quickly turning black and red.

Lin Ansheng slapped his head and failed!

Pour out the discarded liquid in the copper furnace, clean it up, and start over.

This time, Lin Ansheng became cautious, from the beginning the output of the internal force was more deliberately suppressed than him, as a result, the internal force was too small, and after half an hour passed, the liquid medicine was only red, and it began to turn into a paste.

Lin Ansheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, failure!

After a short break, I continued for the third time...

This lasted for three and a half hours, and Lin Ansheng tried eleven times, all of which failed without exception.

Each time the raw materials plus the consumption of ink charcoal, there are almost two and a half pieces of one-grade spirit stones, and eleven times is twenty-seven and a half.

And the high concentration when refining medicine is a huge drain on physical strength and energy, and a full two and a half first-grade spirit stones are used as supplements.

In other words, this night, he spent thirty first-grade spirit stones.

It is still far from successfully refining a finished product.

There are two steps in refining medicine, heating to fuse the medicinal power of the six herbs, and achieving the standard of appropriate benefits is only the first step, and the second step is to convert the liquid state to a solid state.

Any deviation in the second step means the passage of medicinal properties, which is related to the level of medicinal properties of the final product, and the control of the heat is much more difficult than the first step.

"Made, what kind of medicine is this, it's just burning money." After cleaning up the six copper furnaces, Lin Ansheng roughly counted them, the corners of his eyes twitched violently, and he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Thirty pieces of one-grade spirit stones were the sum of his eight or nine days of small pot dishes, and they turned into nothing.

If it weren't for the rich inheritance left by the three coachmen, I am afraid that the practice of alchemy would not be able to sustain even ten days.
