Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ancestral Secret Recipe
Bai Qingqing hurriedly returned to his house, looked left and right, flashed into the door, bolted the door tightly, washed up, wiped it clean with a soft cloth, and then came to the back of the desk and sat down.
He took out the bottle of Caixiu Dan, then removed the cork, carefully poured out the pill, and when he saw it, his eyes showed an inexplicable light.
"Is it really the same?"
He stood up and walked back and forth in the room, his expression constantly changing.
After a long time, he put the bottle in his sleeve, and lay down on his back on the couch, and he forced himself to sleep, but he couldn't settle down in his heart, so he got up and meditated again.
This sat all night, but he never really settled down, so he stayed up until early in the morning.
After all, he is a cultivator, and now he is less than twenty years old, full of energy and infinite vitality, even if he has not slept all night, he is still full of energy, and he can't see the slightest bit of exhaustion.
Moved his hands and feet slightly, took off the Xuanfu robe on his body, changed into a scribe's robe he wore before entering the palace, and then took his things and went out.
After leaving the Xuanfu, he didn't stop, went directly out of the Taiyang Xue Palace, called a carriage at the intersection, went down the inner city platform from the ramp of the Xuanshan Mountain, walked along the middle road avenue, and came directly to the shop gathering place near the Dangang Wharf, and stopped in front of a medicinal herb firm called "Futong".
He got out of the carriage, paid the money, and stepped into the gate, and when someone saw him, he was immediately surprised: "Shaolang is back?"
The men put down their affairs and saluted him.
Bai Qingqing waved his hand and said, "You are all busy, don't worry about me." He walked straight to the inner courtyard of the back hall, and there was an old man with a red face, about fifty years old, who heard the movement, came out of the back room, and said with a smile on his face after seeing him: "Shaolang, have you been in the school palace for more than half a month?"
Treating this old man, Bai Qingqing's attitude immediately changed a lot, and he arched his hand and said, "Second uncle, the little nephew is very good." Business seems to be getting better lately?"
The old man smiled: "It's not because of Shaolang's blessing." ”
Bai Qingqing asked for a while, only to learn that because he had entered the Taiyang School Palace, the trading house borrowed his name and sold some medicinal materials to the School Palace, and few people from those government offices came to make it difficult again.
However, he knew that it was useless to just have a student's name, maybe it was because he entered the Xuanfu Mansion here.
After talking to the old man for a few more words, and after summarizing the recent situation of the firm, he said: "I have something to do when I come back, and I will go back later, if I am not there, I will ask the second uncle to help me take care of it more." ”
The old man smiled and said: "Our Bai family's own business, if Shaolang doesn't talk about it, I will also be optimistic, Shaolang can study with confidence." ”
After Bai Qingqing separated from the old man, he walked into the inner courtyard, and when he was about to turn back to his study, he saw a beautiful and beautiful woman with an infinite reverie who came over, even if she didn't put any powder on her face, she couldn't hide the color of her complexion, but her eyes were slightly yellow, and it could be seen that she was of mixed blood.
She lowered her head and saluted Bai Qingqing Wanfu, and shouted timidly: "Husband." ”
Bai Qingqing snorted, didn't pay much attention to her, and went straight into the house, leaving only the woman standing in place with a gloomy face.
Bai Qingqing's study is huge, with more than a dozen rows of bookcases full of books, each of which leads to the top, almost level with the second floor. After he entered here, he went directly to the second floor, moved a bamboo ladder over, and went to the top of the bookcase to find a box.
He went back to the table below, opened it, took out a bottle from the inside, and at the same time took out the Dan bottle that Cai Xiu Dan had before and put it on the table, at this moment, it could be seen that the two Dan bottles were exactly the same, but the one he took out looked a little old.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and poured a pill from the pill bottle, and even the pill was exactly the same.
He was extremely excited, "Sure enough, that's the case!" He sat down and muttered to himself, "In this way, Grandpa's recipe may be really useful." ”
His grandfather once worshiped the Xuanfu, and in his early years, because of the rapid progress of his cultivation, he was also a talent, but unfortunately he later died in the battle of the Honghe Pass.
Perhaps because the cultivators of the new method relied on the contemplation of the Great Dao Chapter to practice, his grandfather did not mention any methods or cultivation methods to future generations, but only left this pill bottle and a secret recipe.
Bai Qingqing remembered that Fan Lan said that this Cai Xiu Dan can only be taken less, it will cauterize the internal organs and deplete the blood marrow, but his family is in the medicinal herb business, and he also understands some medical science, the reason here is nothing more than that the body is not strong enough, if your foundation is thick enough, as long as you don't use it too much at a time, there will be no problem.
And this secret recipe, just by looking at the medicine, you know that it is used to protect the internal organs and regulate the vitality, and these two things together will not be without reason.
There was a burning glint in his eyes, if his conjecture was correct, then this prescription and Cai Xiu Dan were used in conjunction with each other!
If this is the case, it means that under the harmony of this secret method, he can take more Caixiu Pill, so as to gather more divine elements, and when he contemplates the Great Dao Chapter, his progress can also far surpass others.
He thought secretly in his heart: "Maybe my grandfather and his old man used this secret method back then, so he showed his talent later, and other people's hometowns are worthy of being medical experts, and they can even come up with such a prescription." ”
But when his gaze fell on the recipe again, he couldn't help frowning, although the medicinal materials involved in it were not particularly numerous, but there were many scarce and valuable ones.
If it is deployed once or twice, it is better to say, but if the number of times is too much, he can't afford it.
So what should be done?
While he was thinking, a voice outside said, "Is Shaolang resting?"
Bai Qingqing was interrupted from his train of thought, and he was very unhappy in his heart, but as soon as he heard the voice, he knew that he was the manager of the business house in charge of foreign affairs, he was practicing in Xuanfu, and he also needed the other party to take care of the business here, so he said: "Brother clan, come in and talk." ”
The door was pushed open, and a good-looking, young man in his twenties entered, he was dressed cleanly and decently, and his appearance looked very kind, he arched his hand at Bai Qingqing, and said with a smile: "Shaolang hasn't slept yet." ”
Bai Qingqing asked, "What's the matter?"
The young steward walked downstairs, raised his head and said: "Yesterday, someone from the Taiyang School Palace came to our bank to buy, and he asked for a lot of medicinal materials. ”
Bai Qingqing showed a look of attention and said, "What medicinal herbs?"
"It's a strange fragment of bones, in the pits of my hometown, that's it," the young steward put on his gloves, took out a brown paper bag, opened it, took out a small piece of bone and shook it.
Bai Qingqing was standing on the second floor at the moment, some distance away from the position where the others were standing, but when his gaze fell, there was a sudden change in his eyes, as if he had pulled the distant object closer at once, and every detail on it was clearly visible.
It's just that after looking at it, it's no different from ordinary weird bone fragments, at most it's a little longer, but there are more such things on the mainland, how many or how much, it's just that the cost of excavation is different.
He asked, "Did the purchaser say it was of any use?"
The young steward shook his head and said, "I didn't say this, and I didn't dare to inquire more." However, the person who came to buy said that as long as the things are roughly the same, the price would be higher, and he was willing to buy it all the time, and I thought that we might take the initiative to lower the price a little, and we could also have a long stream. ”
Bai Qingqing thought for a while and said, "How much more do we have this thing?"
The young housekeeper said with a smile: "Many, even if my hometown is not enough, there are also several nearby islands, and the surrounding water and soil changes are not great, if the school palace can be bought, then I Futong can make a lot of money just by relying on this business." ”
As soon as Bai Qingqing heard this, he didn't think about it anymore, and said, "Then you can watch and do it, you don't need to ask me about this matter again, by the way, do you still have money in the account?" Mention a sum to me." ”
The young steward was stunned, and was embarrassed: "Business has been good recently, but there is a sum of money in the account, I planned to settle the account owed to the Ning family first......"
Bai Qingqing frowned and said, "The Ning family's side can slow down first, and this money will be withdrawn first, I will use it." ”
The young steward asked cautiously, "But ...... Madame's side?"
Bai Qingqing said impatiently: "Madame, I have to talk about it." ”
The young steward hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it for Shaolang later." ”
"Hurry up over there, I'll use it later. Bai Qingqing waved his hand, the young steward bowed, and went down, before going out, he stopped talking, shook his head, and carefully closed the door.
Bai Qingqing waited for him to leave, and then walked back and forth in the corridor, his heart was very excited, and when the medicinal materials on this secret recipe were dispensed, he thought that he would be the same as his grandfather back then, and at that time, Xuanfu should know which one between him and Zhang Yu is really worth cultivating!
