Chapter 108: The Alchemy Room was given a cold reception
After coming out of Huaqing Palace, Chen Xiangbei planned to go to the alchemy room in the palace.
Father-in-law Bao told him not long ago that the stock of pills in Huaqing Palace was tight, and asked him to take the materials he had taken back from Zhongshenshan to produce them.
At the same time, he also wanted to go to the alchemy room to see if there were any pills that were suitable, and strive to go further before setting off tomorrow.
In addition, he has a lot of private materials under his bed, and he has to find a way to cash it in, otherwise it will be wasted.
In front of a vermilion lacquer palace with a glazed tile roof, several huge chimneys rose from the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of various strong pills.
This is the alchemy room of the Imperial City.
Chen Xiangbei was carrying a large box of alchemy materials, and as soon as he came to the door, he was stopped by several little eunuchs in the alchemy room guarding the door.
"Stand down! The alchemy room is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter! ”
"Several fathers-in-law, I am the steward eunuch of Huaqing Palace, and I specially came to deliver alchemy materials."
Chen Xiangbei immediately took out the token of the eunuch in charge of the Huaqing Palace.
Several little eunuchs glanced at each other, and for some reason, their eyes inexplicably became a little gloomy.
One of the little eunuchs said coldly: "You come with me." ”
As he spoke, he introduced Chen Xiangbei into the alchemy room.
Chen Xiangbei didn't pay attention to the strange gaze of these eunuchs, as one of the most valued institutions in the palace, the eunuchs in the alchemy room all had a kind of superior arrogance.
Most of them don't look down on their identity as a manager, so they don't give a good look.
But this can't be blamed on them, after all, the well of the alchemy room is their heaven, and it is too difficult to let them accept all rivers or something.
If Chen Xiangbei took out the token of the East Factory, I don't know how they should feel.
Of course, Chen Xiangbei is just thinking about it, Dongchang is independent of the palace, if he really takes out the Dongchang token to suppress these little eunuchs, it is tantamount to public and private use, once it reaches Dongchang, he will be in trouble.
There is no "Li Guifei" in the East Factory who can protect him, so although the skin of the East Factory has great rights, it cannot be used indiscriminately.
Following the steps of the little eunuch, Chen Xiangbei came to the interior of the alchemy room.
After entering, I found that this place is really hidden inside, and it looks like an ordinary palace from the outside, but it is surprisingly open inside.
Not counting the independent pill room for refining high-grade pills, there were dozens of huge furnaces in the main hall alone, among which there were flickering blue flames and hot mist.
The smell of the elixir emitted by the alchemy filled almost every corner of the alchemy room.
It seems that with one breath and one breath, you can increase your cultivation a lot.
Soon, Chen Xiangbei came to a warehouse dedicated to alchemy materials under the guidance of the little eunuch, and on the side was a wooden shelf full of various pills, and Chen Xiangbei's saliva was about to flow down.
A random cabinet of pills here is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, isn't this printing money?
If only I could mix up a part-time job here...
"Old Zhao, this is the steward eunuch of Huaqing Palace, they want to refine the pill."
The little eunuch came to an old eunuch in charge of the warehouse and saluted respectfully.
This eunuch named Zhao Lao, sitting in front of a spacious desk, fifty or sixty years old, with surprisingly dark skin and a dry face, was quickly writing down a book of heads, noting the number of pills in the warehouse.
After hearing the little eunuch's words, the old eunuch looked up at Chen Xiangbei, frowned, and stretched out his hand to the corner of the warehouse: "Got it, let it go." ”
Chen Xiangbei took out Bao's alchemy list again, and wanted to hand it to Zhao Lao.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Lao didn't even look at it, waved his hand and said coldly: "Put the materials on it." ”
Chen Xiangbei had no choice but to comply, and after placing the materials and the list of pills, he took another look at the dry old eunuch, and his impression of the alchemy room in his heart was extremely bad.
Concubine Li Guifei is one of the emperor's favorite concubines, what do you mean by putting on this stinky face?
It's clear that you can't look down on Huaqing Palace!
Chen Xiangbei secretly took a deep breath, and finally resisted the urge to rob the rich and help the poor in his heart.
"No... This is the alchemy room... Something will happen ... Let's wait for this old eunuch to be alone... ”
After silently noting down this old face, Chen Xiangbei left the alchemy room.
Looking at those boiling Dan furnaces along the way, he remembered the large pile of alchemy materials under the bed, and his whole body was itching.
It's like having a lot of expired money in your hand, but you have no place to spend it when it's real money.
Uncomfortable.
Subsequently, Chen Xiangbei came to the pharmacy not far from the alchemy room.
The alchemy room is responsible for the production of pills, and the alchemy room is responsible for distributing pills, and there are also separate pills for sale, and many little eunuchs will come here to replace the pills.
As a subordinate of the East Factory, you can also enjoy discounts, and the higher the level, the greater the discount.
It's a pity that he is only a guard now, and he can only get a nine-percent discount.
Last night, Huang Gonggong and Xiao Fengzi's silver two were exploded, and Chen Xiangbei's money bag rose again, so he was much more confident when he visited Dan Pharmacy.
Soon, he purchased more than two hundred taels of silver Qi Cultivation Pill, plus the ten Qi God Pills rewarded by Concubine Li, which should be enough.
Before leaving, he saw a life-sustaining pill on the shelf, which cost more than 2,000 taels of silver.
When he saw this price, he couldn't help but fall silent.
Concubine Li is really good to him.
Walking out of the Dan Pharmacy, Chen Xiangbei pinched the shriveled money bag, and the whole person was not good.
It's cool to spend money, and it's always cool to spend money, but the premise is to always have money.
The money bag is empty, and there is no sense of security at all, and Chen Xiangbei's whole person is not good.
He returned to the prison yard in a trance, but when he passed by the East Factory, he happened to bump into Liu Shi who had returned from going out.
After seeing Chen Xiangbei, Liu Shi's face showed a rare joy: "Little Chenzi, why did you come to Dongchang?" Did you hear some tip? ”
Chen Xiangbei reacted quickly, first glanced at the money bag on Liu Shi's waist, and the whole person immediately became energetic: "I disappointed Gonggong Liu, I haven't heard any news here for the time being.
Tomorrow is the trip to Muru Temple, so I specially came to Dongchang to see what arrangements Grandpa Liu had. ”
Liu Shi's eyes darkened slightly, but his recognition of Chen Xiangbei deepened a little, and he secretly said in his heart: "Our family really didn't look away, this little Chen Zi is not only reliable, but also very responsible!" ”
"There is only one thing you have to do, to guard Concubine Li inseparably, and our family has its own arrangements for the rest." Liu Shi said again.
Chen Xiangbei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that Liu Shi would arrange some difficult task for him.
"Father-in-law Liu, don't worry, I have this plan."
After dealing with Liu Shi, Chen Xiangbei returned to his house and entered the Falling Dust Sword Shrine and practiced until the evening.
