It was already late at night, and Redwood City was gradually falling silent, and the White Mansion was no exception. There are only a few sparse lights in the sparsely populated White Mansion, most of which come from the lanterns carried by the night watchman. On a mottled bluestone road, there were five lanterns lined up in a neat row, heading towards the wing, it was Shi Cheng and his party who had just finished meeting with Bai Qingming.

Bai Tao cautiously followed behind Shi Cheng, and he could feel that there seemed to be a volcano erupting in the heart of this Dan Master in front of him, although he couldn't seem to see anything from Shi Cheng's face.

When the group walked to a garden not far from the wing, Shi Cheng stopped and said to Bai Tao: "Today, there is a Lao Bai steward to guide the way, I want to take a break in this garden, and I will go back to the room by myself in a while." ”

"The little one won't bother Mr., Bai Tao will take his leave." Bai Tao saluted, and the other servants turned around and walked away quickly.

Shi Cheng let out a long sigh and shook his head. He stood there for a moment, as if thinking about something. After a long time, he finally took a step and walked into the garden.

The garden outside the wing house is not large, and is basically designed around a pond, which contrasts with the strange rocks and trees around it. The garden at night has a unique tranquility, and the moon is reflected in the pond, which gives the calm water a charm that belongs to the night.

Looking at this night scene, Shi Cheng's heart slowly calmed down. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he muttered to himself, "If I really want to track down something, the people in Redwood City here don't have the ability to stop me." ”

After saying this, Shi Cheng raised his head, and was about to turn to leave, but his eyes suddenly stopped on a large rock on the other side of the pond.

"Hehe, what a coincidence." Shi Cheng said with a smile.

It turned out that Shi Cheng suddenly found that a person was sitting on the big rock on the other side of the pond. If you take a closer look, it is actually that Wu Tianshi. He sat on the rock, staring at the moon in the sky in a daze, a little distracted.

Due to the darkness of the sky, Wu Tianshi did not notice that Shi Cheng was on the other side of the pond. He stared blankly at the sky, and it wasn't until Shi Cheng got closer that he realized that someone was coming towards him.

"Who?" Wu Tianshi stood up from the stone and looked at the place where the footsteps had come from. When he saw Shi Cheng, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Shi Daoyou?" Why are you so excited to come here on this big night? ”

"Isn't Wu Daoyou here too?" Shi Cheng said, "It seems that Wu Daoyou's purpose for coming here is the same as Shi's. Thinking about something in the quiet midnight garden can be a great way to get more out of the way. ”

"yes, I'm thinking about some years ago, and I can't help but think about it." Wu Tianshi sighed softly, "However, I don't want to get twice the result with half the effort. The more you do more with less, the more things you remember. There was inexplicable sadness in Wu Tianshi's eyes, and he was like the unobtrusive Xuanmen mage that Shi Cheng had seen during the day.

Shi Cheng looked at Wu Tianshi, and after a moment, he spoke: "Wu Daoyou is a member of the Xuanmen, I don't know what opinions you have on helping the world and helping people?" ”

"Jishi? Helping others? Although Wu Tianshi was a little strange in his heart why Shi Cheng suddenly asked such a question, he still replied seriously: "Well, I think that helping the world is to help people, and helping people is helping the world, these two words are inseparable in meaning." For cultivators, by helping others as much as they can within their means, there will be less suffering in this world. ”

"That's a natural way to do it. As far as I know, Xuanmen believes that being kind and benevolent, and being anxious for justice and righteousness can enable cultivators to promote the righteous path to the outside world and accumulate blessings for themselves. Internally, it clarifies the mind of the path and helps the practice of the righteous path practitioners. I don't know if what Shi Cheng learned is consistent with the teachings in the Taoist sect? Shi Cheng asked.

"Ah, it should be, exactly." Wu Tianshi nodded hurriedly.

"In this case, there is such an opportunity in front of Daoist friends right now." Shi Cheng smiled mysteriously.

"What chance?"

"Shi has been traveling around the rivers and lakes since he left the school. I had already developed a habit when I was wandering around the Western Continent. Whenever I arrive at a place, I will hold a free clinic in that place to help the locals, especially the local poor, get rid of the disease. But the free clinic makes it very difficult to do a lot of things for the next person, and the Taoist friend is a person in the Xuanmen, I wonder if you are willing to help me after doing the daily magic removal in the past few days? It is also good to add blessings to the practice of Taoist friends. ”

"It's easy to say, I didn't expect Shi Daoyou to be such a righteous person. It is the responsibility of our generation of cultivators to help sentient beings, and Wu is duty-bound to help fellow Daoists. Don't know where you live? How about I go to your dwelling after tomorrow's service? ”

"I didn't expect Daoyou to be so refreshing." Shi Cheng was slightly surprised, "I'll go tomorrow morning to raise medicinal materials and other necessities, and Daoist friends will go to the main gate of Baifu to find me after lunch, and I will definitely wait there on time." ”

"Okay, then I'll go back and rest first, or I may have to drag myself under the cover until the second half of the night before I can fall asleep." Wu Tianshi scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Then we'll see you tomorrow." ”

"See you tomorrow."

After the two saluted each other, Wu Tianshi turned around and went to his wing. Shi Cheng looked at his distant back and was silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Nothing happened overnight............

The next morning, Shi Cheng got up early in the morning, took his storage bag and went out of the room, and the servant who cleaned the yard saw Shi Cheng going out so early, and curiously greeted him and asked, "Sir, I'm up so early, I'll go and report to the steward, and quickly bring breakfast to Mr." ”

"Thank you, Shi is going to provide free clinics for the people in the city today, I want to go to buy some medicinal materials or something early this morning, and I won't bother with breakfast in your house." Shi Cheng said with a smile.

"Free clinics? Yes...... Okay, the little one got it. The servant replied respectfully.

The bitter cold wind was a major feature of Redwood City in the early morning, but for a cultivator like Shi Cheng, it was not even a drizzle, he smiled and said hello to the guardsman of the White Mansion who was a little shivering, explained the reason for his outing, and then went straight out of the gate of the White Mansion.

As early as when he first came to Redwood City, Shi Cheng had already heard a lot of basic information about this city. There is only one real medical clinic in Redwood City, and that is the Renxin Pavilion in the south of the city. This medical clinic is an old chain store in the Western Desert Country, and almost every decent middle and upper city in the Western Desert Country has the branch number of this medical center.

As for who the big proprietor behind the Renxin Pavilion is, Shi Cheng doesn't know. Every year, Renxinguan would buy large quantities of herbs from medicine farmers at low prices, and then sell them to Wei to make a profit. The herb workshop owners of the Wei Kingdom would sell the processed elixirs or other products through the Renxinguan industry in the Western Desert Kingdom and the surrounding areas. Over time, this large chamber of commerce gradually began to merge the herbal medicine industry in the Western Desert Country, and even in other countries bordering the Western Desert Country. Although there are other big guilds in the Western Desert Country that are mainly engaged in the herbal medicine business, they are still the first in the Renxin Pavilion in terms of financial resources.

Shi Cheng's footsteps were very fast, and after a while, he walked to the gate of the Renxin Pavilion in the east of the city. He knocked on the door and walked inside.

It was early in the morning, the sun had just risen, there were not many people in the medical hall, only a guy yawning at the counter, looking very sleepy, when he saw Shi Cheng coming in, he immediately got up to greet him.

This guy is still quite cultivated, Shi Cheng is ugly, and many of the shop guys who have dealt with him in the past are immediately cold when they see his face, but the guy from the Renxin Pavilion in front of him still maintains a polite smile on his face.

"Is the guest here for a consultation or to buy medicine?" The guy asked respectfully.

"I've heard that your shop accepts barter, right?"

"Yes, if you are not comfortable paying in cash, you can pay with jewelry of equivalent value or other authenticated valuables. If you don't have a certificate, we can also provide a special appraiser and equipment to guarantee you a fair price, but we are far from the head office and other big banks, and the categories of items that can be identified are still limited. ”

"Don't worry, it's definitely within your ability, please help me see how much this pill is worth." Shi Cheng said with a smile. With his right hand, out of nowhere, he took out a small wooden box and placed it on the counter.

As soon as the guy heard that it was an elixir, he didn't dare to slack off, even if it was a low-grade elixir, the price was far higher than that of ordinary medicines.

He took out a talisman and pasted it on the wooden box. To ensure that the medicinal properties of the elixir can also be protected after opening the box, the lid of the box was gently opened.

As soon as the box was opened, the guy was stunned. The quality of the pill is mainly identified from three aspects, one looks at the appearance, the shape is rounded for the top grade; Second, look at the color, the color is pure, and the one without retorts is the top grade; Three smells of danxiang, the rich and pure danxiang is the top grade. At the moment, the pill given by Shi Cheng is round and jade, the color is extremely pure, and it also exudes a rich Dan fragrance that the talisman can't hide, and the guys in the medical hall can smell it without even getting close. In addition, Shi Cheng's pill seems to be faintly covered by a layer of brilliance, even ordinary people know that this pill is the best of the best among similar pills.
