Chapter 20: Woe to the Dragon Grass

As the days passed, the status of the little leopard in the Wujia ironware shop slowly underwent subtle changes.

While the other apprentices were still beating the stakes with their hammers, he was already in the smelting room and trying to make some simple iron tools.

The Wu family's 9981 chaotic cloak hammer method was originally born from the technique of striking iron, so whether it is the children of the Wu family or the disciples, smelting iron is a compulsory subject for them, and those young masters of the Wu family's own sect are no exception, they all have to learn to strike iron, because only through this way can they deepen their understanding of the hammer method and speed up their cultivation.

"When, when, when!" In the envious eyes of the apprentices outside the house, in the smelting room, the little leopard was shirtless, holding a hammer in his hand, and kept tapping on the embryo of a kitchen knife on the stone platform in front of him.

Not to mention the apprentices outside, even the young iron-smelting masters in this smelting room couldn't help but show envious eyes.

"Old Xingtou, you old boy is too partial, there are so many apprentices, you teach the little leopard alone, others will have opinions!"

Just when one practiced, one taught, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, a disappointing voice came from behind him, the little leopard did not move at all, and continued his iron striking, but Lao Xing Tou turned back, looked at the Lin housekeeper who walked in, and showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

"How I teach it is my business, those little rabbit cubs, one day they can open the stake like a little leopard, haven't I been taught like this all these years?!"

"Yes, too!" Steward Lin laughed, looking at the little leopard who was engrossed, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, "The big steward of Lucheng is here, I have something to look for you!"

"Old Fang?!" Lao Xingtou listened, frowned slightly, and said to himself with some inappropriateness, "He doesn't enjoy Qingfu in Lucheng, what is he doing in this poor mountain and bad water?!"

"Then I don't know, looking at him is quite mysterious, it seems that there is something important, you better go quickly!"

"Okay!" Lao Xing nodded in response, followed Steward Lin out of the smelting room, and when he went out to mention, he also said to the little leopard, "Little leopard, you practice here well, you know?!"

"You really think about this little guy!"

Butler Lin and Lao Xing Tou walked a few steps and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"He is a rare talent, I believe that he will be able to pass the selection meeting in two years!"

"Two years later, he will only be ten years old, it is better to wait for another two years!" Lin Da Butler frowned, "You also said, he is a cultivable talent, the selection conference, the apprentices of the Wu family only have three chances each, in case he can't pass this time, wouldn't it be a waste of an opportunity?!"

"I believe he will be able to pass!" Old Xing Tou looked confident, "Don't Steward Lin believe in my vision?!"

"No, no, no, no, how could I not believe it, my choice to teach apprentices is your old Xingtou's business, I only take care of business, and the rest will not interfere!" said Lin Da Butler.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the two arrived at the main hall, and they were greeting the brocade-clothed man who was a little anxious in the hall!

"Old Fang, rare guest!" Seeing the brocade-clothed man, Lao Xingtou finally flashed a smile and said loudly.

"Old Xingtou, you old boy!" When the brocade-clothed man saw Lao Xingtou, he also laughed and greeted him.

"Grand Steward Fang, I've kept you waiting!" said Grand Steward Lin.

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way!" said the big steward Fang, and glanced at the big housekeeper Lin.

The housekeeper Lin understood and retreated, and even the girl who served the tea was sent away, and only these three people were left in the hall.

"Lao Fang, you have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, this time, what is the matter?!" The three of them sat down, and Lao Xing Tou was not polite and asked.

"The matter of the second son!" said the chief steward Fang, "I think you also know that the second son is now ten years old and has already started to use medicinal baths to forge bones!"

"Medicinal bath?!" Lao Xing Tou and Lin Da Steward nodded, a family like the Wu family, generally speaking, when the children of the sect are very young, they will collect all kinds of elixirs from heaven and earth, make various medicines, decoctions, and wash the whole body, so that the medicinal power can penetrate the muscles, bones and meridians in the body, remove impurities, improve potential, and lay the foundation for future cultivation.

But this medicinal bath is also exquisite, there are all kinds of prescriptions in this world, for different people, different ages, the efficacy of this medicine is also different, and martial arts in general, the formula of this medicine is also in the hands of the families of the various sects, never leaked, ordinary people can not come into contact, even if they do, there is no ability to collect so many precious medicinal materials.

"The second son is the pride of the sky, with excellent qualifications, and now is the best time to start the medicinal bath to forge bones, is there anything wrong with this?!" said Lao Xing Tou puzzled.

"Originally, it wasn't a problem, but the second lady wants to add another medicine to this potion!"

"Add a flavor of medicine?!" Lao Xing Tou and Lin Da Steward were taken aback, how could this medicine be added casually, the prescription of each of these medicines was the result of countless ancestors' experiments and tempering, not to mention adding a flavor of medicine, that is, there were fewer medicines in it, and more would cause problems, where could you add medicine casually?!

"Could it be—!" It was also this Lin Steward's mind that was smart, and suddenly he thought of something, and his face suddenly became strange.

"That's right, it's that flavor medicine!" Seeing that Steward Lin seemed to understand, Grand Steward Fang nodded and said, "Fulong Grass!"

"Fulong Grass?!" Suddenly hearing this name, Lao Xing's head shook violently, raised his head and said, "The second lady has news of this Fulong grass?!"

"Hmm!" Grand Steward Fang nodded and said, "It's in this Mangcang Mountain!"

"Of course there are Fulong grass and demon beasts in Mangcang Mountain, you are talking in vain!" Hearing the answer of the great steward Fang, Lao Xingtou's anger will not be beaten anywhere, isn't this, Mangcang Mountain is so big, of course there are countless strange flowers and beasts in it, and he is still needed?

Grand Steward Fang turned a blind eye to Lao Xing Tou's complaints, and continued, "Second Lady has received news that there are three Fulong Grass in one place on the edge of this Mangcang Mountain!"

"Really?" Old Xing Tou and Steward Lin were so shocked that they stood up at the same time.

Fulong grass, is a famous spirit grass between heaven and earth, its role is only one person, is to improve the effect of the medicine, the Fulong grass into the bathing medicine, at least can increase the effect of the medicine by five times, it is for this reason, for hundreds of years, this Fulong grass in the world has almost been extinct, only in some deep mountains and old forests, inaccessible places will have its traces, very difficult to find, now I heard that there are three on the edge of this Mangcang Mountain, and also know the exact address, it is really surprising.

"How did the second lady know?!" asked the housekeeper Lin.

"I don't know, but you also know that the second lady was born in Tianlong Dao, so naturally she has her sources!" said the senior steward helplessly.

"Then you mean, let's go find this Fulong grass?!" Steward Lin asked with some hesitation, he was a person with a long heart, although he also belonged to the second lady's family, but he understood his own catties.

What kind of place is Qingyangji, a sesame-sized place in Yunzhou of the Great Jin Dynasty, to be a steward in this place, that is, to have a bit of a status in this broken set, in the Wu family, it is nothing, in the Wu family, he is nothing, otherwise, he would not be sent to this ghost place to be in charge, and today's matter is obviously involved in the struggle between the doctor and the second lady, it is the power struggle of the core class of the Wu family, and even affects the selection of the next generation of the head of the Wu family, such a thing, how can a small person like him be mixed.

Even if she helped the second lady find Fulongcao, what could she do? If the eldest lady knew, a little finger would be able to crush herself to death, and at that time, the second lady would definitely not use knives and guns with the eldest lady because she was the lowest-level housekeeper of the Wu family.

After figuring out this layer, Steward Lin's face immediately became bitter, and Lao Xing Tou also suffered, although he was a rough man, he was not stupid, and he didn't want to mix this kind of thing.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Chief Steward Fang naturally knew what they were thinking, in fact, even if it was him, how could he want to get involved in this kind of thing, wasn't it involuntarily?

Shaking his head slightly, he said, "I know your thoughts, but there is no way, who let us eat this bowl of rice, things have come to this point, even if we don't agree, is there any other way to go?!"

There was a sudden silence in the hall, indeed, could they have taken another way?

It's okay if they don't know about this matter, but now that they know about it, it means that they are bound, so they have to be forced to make a choice, either the eldest lady or the second lady, there is no middle way to go, and if you want to ride the wall, it is impossible to offend both sides.

"Old Fang, old Fang, you're really fucking making us miserable!" After being silent for a long time, Lao Xingtou finally raised his head and stared at Steward Fang in annoyance.

"Isn't there anything I can't help it?!" Steward Fang's face was even more bitter than the two of them, "Besides, this time the matter is not as terrible as you imagined, why do you think I came to you two and not to find others?"

"Because the two of us are so bluffing?!" said Lao Xingtou unceremoniously.

"Fart, because of this matter so far, the entire Wu family, even the two of you together, only four people in total know!"

"Four people?!"

"That's right, it's four, the three of us, plus the second lady, except for us, there will be no fifth person who knows, this time I came from Lucheng, under the guise of friendship with your old Xingtou, no one knows my true purpose!"

"Why choose us?!"

"Because this is the closest town market to that Fulongcao, you are the people who talk about it here, and besides, you have always been relatively close to the second lady's family, so I don't want you to find anyone?!"

The two were once again speechless and fell silent.

"So, when are you going to go?"

"Be quick!" said the big steward Fang, "lest there be long nights and dreams, the location of Fulongcao has been told to me in detail by the second lady, it is not far from you, as long as we move quickly, we will be able to get it in three days as soon as possible, and five days in the latest!"

"How did Madame know about this?!" Butler Lin asked a little strangely, "She's never been here before?!"

"The second lady didn't elaborate, but don't forget her origin-!"

Hearing what Chief Steward Fang said, Grand Steward Lin and Old Xing both showed a look of understanding.
