Chapter 39: Before Leaving (Part I)
Hearing Tong Chen's words, Zhao Lan smiled gently: "That's what I said, Chen'er, these pills were originally refined by you, didn't my mother tell them that you refined them, and also said that I couldn't refine them?"
Tong Chen pulled Zhao Lan back to the Dan room, closed the door with his hand, and then lowered his voice and said to Zhao Lan: "Mother, I can't tell the Tong family that I refined this pill. ”
Tong Chen's words fell, Zhao Lan looked puzzled, Tong Chen quickly explained, and said that the reason why he would help the Tong family to refine the pill was mainly to help the old man Qian and Zhao Lan share the pressure, so that the Tong family would not feel that the medicine garden only took the benefits of the Tong family but did not contribute at the critical time, if you told the Tong family that this pill was refined by him, then the Tong family would probably not take the old man Qian in their eyes in the future, Zhao Lan was still a little puzzled at first, but when she heard Tong Chen say this, she also calmed down.
Old man Qian is Zhao Lan's master, it can be said that Zhao Lan was taught by him, plus he has always taken great care of Zhao Lan, subconsciously, Zhao Lan has regarded Old Man Qian as a relative.
During this period of time, Old Man Qian was not in good health, and Zhao Lan was also very anxious, she wanted to do something for Old Man Qian, but she couldn't do anything, and it was precisely because of this that she came up with the idea of trying alchemy, just to help Old Man Qian share some pressure from the Tong family.
If Tong Chen hadn't suddenly stood up and told her that he had recognized an alchemy master as his master, it would have been more appropriate for him to try alchemy than Zhao Lan, and I am afraid that Zhao Lan would have been busy in the alchemy room these days!
Zhao Lan knew that Old Man Qian was a strong person, although he was lying on the bed to cultivate these days, he must be very guilty in his heart, and felt that he couldn't refine the pill so that the medicine garden and even the Tong family were in trouble, so after listening to Tong Chen's explanation, she thought about it, and also felt that it was more appropriate to tell the Tong family that these pills were refined by Old Man Qian.
Because Old Man Qian's health has not been very good recently, and the Tong family has also seen it, so Tong Chen gave Zhao Lan another suggestion, and asked Zhao Lan to say that these pills were refined by her with the assistance of Old Man Qian, so that the explanation made sense, although Old Man Qian said that his body was not good, but it was not to the point where he couldn't move, and with Zhao Lan by his side, it was not strange to refine these pills.
After the two discussed, they bottled Huang Lingdan, and then Zhao Lan took Huang Lingdan and handed it over to Tong Ying.
When Zhao Lan found Tong Ying in the front hall of the main entrance of the Tong family, Tong Ying had just come back from inspecting the family's shops in the city, and when he heard that the old man Qian had opened the furnace for alchemy again, Tong Ying was overjoyed, and the next moment, when he heard Zhao Lan say that the old man Qian had refined more than 240 grains of yellow spirit pills for the Tong family this time, Tong Ying was stunned at first, and then walked to Zhao Lan in three steps and two steps, looked at Zhao Lan with an unbelievable face, and asked her to verify whether what she had just said was true.
Zhao Lan smiled and nodded, and at the same time opened the medicine basket she was carrying with her, took out a medicine bottle from the many pill bottles, handed it to Tong Ying, and motioned Tong Ying to look at it himself.
Tong Ying took the medicine bottle, opened the cork, sniffed his nose against the mouth of the bottle, and then raised his eyebrows, followed by him, he pointed to the medicine basket and asked Zhao Lan if these were all pills, Zhao Lan of course nodded yes.
Tong Ying was overjoyed, and decided on the spot that the old man and Zhao Lan would each be rewarded with one hundred gold coins, and at the same time, everyone in the medicine garden would also be rewarded with ten gold coins each, in addition, the monthly money of the old man Qian and Zhao Lan would also triple from this month.
After the reward, Tong Ying asked Zhao Lan for details, even if Old Man Qian refined two furnaces of pills every month, at most, he could produce a total of less than 200 Yellow Spirit Pills, how could he refine so many Yellow Spirit Pills this time?
Zhao Lan told Tong Yan that Old Man Qian had a new understanding of alchemy recently, and Zhao Lan helped from the side, so he refined so many Huang Lingdan in a short time.
In essence, what the cultivation of immortals is fighting for is a resource, whether it is a person or a party of immortal cultivation forces, if you want to develop and grow, you must first have the support of corresponding immortal cultivation resources.
Over the years, don't look at Tong Ying, it seems that he has not made much progress, in fact, he also has a big ambition in his heart, and wants to develop and grow the family in his hands, but the resources in his hands are really limited, and he has no ambitions but no way to start, and now he heard Zhao Lan say that the old man Qian has made progress on the way to alchemy, he is overjoyed, and feels that this is a sign of the rise of the family, a starting point, as long as he grasps it well, he will definitely make the family take a big step forward.
Tong Ying's thinking is naturally not without reason, because of resource limitations, now there are more than a dozen cultivators from the Tong family, including Tong Ying, among these dozen people, the highest cultivation is naturally Tong Ying, who has the cultivation of the two realms of agility, and most of the others have just entered the door of the spiritual period, and they haven't figured out what cultivation is all about, not to mention that they can become the mainstay of the family at a critical time!
But if there is the support of the pill, the situation is naturally different! With the aid of the pill, you can guide more people in the family to cultivate, and slowly, the family can naturally grow little by little, although the speed is not too fast, but it is also moving forward, it is better than standing still or not moving forward!
Zhao Lan couldn't understand Tong Ying's true feelings as a family head at the moment, although she knew before she came that Tong Ying would definitely be very happy after seeing these pills, but she didn't expect Tong Ying to be so happy, and ordered a reward of so much money on the spot, not to mention, even looking at her eyes were full of joy and appreciation, to be honest, knowing Tong Ying for so long, this was the first time Zhao Lan had seen Tong Ying look at her with such eyes.
After returning to the medicine garden, because he was afraid that the old man Qian would say something by himself, Zhao Lan personally found the old man Qian and told the old man Qian about the alchemy of Tongchen and the things that were counted on his head, after the old man Qian heard it, he was shocked and then happy, when he heard that Zhao Lan said that the pills refined by Tong Chen were refined by him, he said that this is not possible, Zhao Lan persuaded him for a long time, and it was easy for the old man Qian to compromise, and promised to count the good name on his head for the time being, but the old man Qian insisted on waiting for a few days to explain the truth to the Tong family, Zhao Lan saw that the old man Qian was resolute, so he also responded。
The next morning, Tong Chen first went to Wanbao Trading House to deliver a thousand Qingxin Pills, and told Wanbao Trading Bank that this was the amount of two times, and he would not come next week.
Immediately after, he went to Mu's house again, asked the janitor to find Mu Qing, and told her that he was going to escort the family's caravan next week, and he might not be able to come to her for a while.
