Chapter 10: Antiquities
Early in the morning of the second day, after Zhou Fuyao and his mother Yingshuang had breakfast together, Yingshuang told Zhou Fuyao a few more words, and then stuffed some daily necessities into Zhou Fuyao's storage ring, sent him out of the house, and let him go to the Sifang Pharmacy alone.
Walking on the wide streets of Sifang City, Zhou Fuyao found that there have been more and more people in this Sifang City recently, and the business of pills and herbs in Sifang City is also the best at this time of the year, and the city is full of merchants and sellers who buy pills and herbs. The street leading to the Sifang Pharmacy is also lined with stalls of all kinds, all of which are novelties brought by merchants from other places. It's a pity that along the way, Zhou Fuyao didn't find anything he liked and something strange from these stalls on the street.
Zhou Fuyao walked casually, looked at it casually, and suddenly stopped at a stall full of stone carvings, because he felt a faint, but refreshing breath of life, and looked at the items on this stall. The stone carvings on the stalls are very quaint in style, and it seems that the age of zĂ i is a little old, these stone carvings have gray stone lions, lively civets, koi fish with bowed bodies, and even broken tiles carved with strange patterns. Zhou Fuyao's eyes swept around the stall, and after making sure that his feeling was correct, he finally landed on a stone crane. And what made Zhou Fuyao feel strange was this stone crane that was missing a leg and spreading its wings.
"Little brother, have you taken a fancy to this stone crane?" asked the old man guarding the stall as he looked at Zhou Fuyao with a smile.
"Well, how can the boss buy it?" Zhou Fuyao asked directly.
"Little brother, every item in this stall is five medium-grade spirit stones, and Tong Su is not bullied. The old man said with a smile.
Zhou Fuyao nodded, took out five medium-grade spirit stones, handed them to the old man, and said simply: "This stone crane, I want it." â
"Take it, do you think you want something? This stone lion and this dragon carving are all produced in the same place as this stone crane, do you like it or not? The old man happily put away the five medium-grade spirit stones, and then asked. The price of these five medium-grade spirit stones was very high, and he thought that Zhou Fuyao would bargain, but who knew that this inconspicuously dressed young man bought it at a price.
Zhou Fu shook his head, took the stone crane, and confirmed that the breath of life was indeed emanating from the stone crane again, and then put the stone crane into the storage ring. In the old man's regretful gaze, he walked in the direction of the Sifang Medicine Tower.
In the Dan room, Qing Thirteen and Qing Shi were already waiting here. This bluestone is more and more respectful to Zhou Fuyao, and there is always a flattering smile on his face. Qing Thirteen was much calmer, always maintaining a gentle smile on his face, neither close nor alienating. For these, Zhou Fuyao secretly saw it in his eyes.
For a few days, Zhou Fuyao spent all his time in the Dan room, except for the morning and evening exercises, all the time has been concentrated on alchemy, but the lack of medicinal baths made Zhou Fuyao a little unaccustomed, but only a few days of hard work without soaking in the medicinal bath, it has no effect. In the past two days, Fang Fu's steward came to Zhou Fuyao to take a look at him when he had nothing to do, and every time he pinched the time very well, it was when Zhou Fuyao finished refining the last furnace of pills. Every time I came in, I casually chatted with Zhou Fuyao. No, today Zhou Fuyao had just finished practicing the last pot of pills, and this Fang Fu steward came to the Dan room.
"Zhou Gongzi. Fang Fu smiled and greeted Zhou Fuyao affectionately.
"Fang Fu is in charge, but he came to get the stasis pill?" Zhou Fuyao saw Fang Fu, and it was not surprising that this Fang Fu had personally taken the pill from his Dan room every day for the past two days.
"Exactly, it is all thanks to Zhou Gongzi's efforts in the past few days that he has refined so many stasis pills with so much effort. Fang Fu said with a smile on his face, and kept pouring all the stasis pills in the jade box beside him into the special storage magic vessel.
After Fang Fu finished collecting the pill, he said: "Gongzi Zhou, I have memorized the number of pills, can you take a look at it?"
"That's right. Zhou Fuyao glanced at the number and nodded in response.
"Thank you Gongzi Zhou. I'm going to hand over all the stasis pills of Xiaoyou in the past few days, and see what Fang Gui has to say. Fang Fu said with a hearty laugh, this Five-Rank Pill Master's refining of the Eight-Rank Pill is really overkill, and the output is particularly high.
Fang Fu and Zhou Fuyao chatted for a while, then took their leave, and walked towards a building that was obviously much higher than the other affiliated buildings of the pharmacy, thinking about what kind of face would become when he saw that he had taken out so many eight-grade qi nourishing pills.
The guards outside the building looked at Fang Fu with a smile on his face strangely, they knew that at this time on the last day of every month, Fang Fu would go to Chief Steward Fang Xiang to hand in the pills. They also knew that in the past few months, for some reasons, the total amount of pills handed over by Fang Fu had decreased, and he had been repeatedly defeated by his sworn enemy Fang Gui, and the two had already quarreled several times. So in recent months, Fang Fu had a bitter old face every time he handed in the pill at the end of the month, but what happened today, he actually smiled so happily.
Fang Fu didn't pay attention to the guard's strange eyes, and went straight up to the second floor of the steward's building. In the hall on the second floor, a slightly wealthy middle-aged man was sitting at the top, this was Fang Xiang, the chief steward of the Sifang Medicine Tower, and there were two people sitting at the bottom, close to Fang Xiang was Fang Ji with a kind face, and it was Fang Fu's sworn enemy Fang Gui who was sitting under Fang Ji.
"It's coming. Fang Xiang saw Fang Fu go upstairs and said, "Sit down." â
"Yes, Grand Steward. Fang Fu first nodded to Fang Xiang, and then nodded to Fang Ji who was looking at this side, as for Fang Gui, he just glanced at it, he didn't want to make himself uncomfortable.
Although Fang Fu didn't want to feel uncomfortable, this Fang Gui didn't intend to let him go. Fang Gui saw that Fang Fu was sitting down with his hands, shook his head and said, "Some people, every time they are late, it is estimated that they have no face to see people." â
"Fang Gui, what do you mean?" Fang Fu was furious when he heard Fang Gui's provocation, and the body that had just sat down suddenly jumped up again, glaring at Fang Gui and said.
"What do I mean? You know in your own heart, you see that you have been getting less and less Nine Rank Pills in the past few months, are you still embarrassed to come to meet people?" Fang Gui sneered and said.
"Okay, you two are arguing every time, what is it like, Fang Fu sat down. Fang Xiang sat on top and frowned, rubbed his temples, and saw Fang Fu sitting down, Fang Gui lowered his head and didn't know what to think, sighed slightly, and then continued, "You better report on the situation this month first." As always, let's start with Fang Ji. â
Fang Ji nodded and said, "Grand Steward." In this month, a total of 2,873 six-grade Qingling Pills and six-grade marrow cleansing pills were refined...... This month's Dan volume is about the same as last month's. This month, there is still no six-grade alchemist, and everything else in the Dan room is fine. â
"Very good, keep it well, the six-rank alchemist is not so easy to recruit, you can go to the Dan League more if you have time, think of a way, try to recruit a little more Dan master before this trip to the secret realm, and prepare a lot of six-grade pills." Fang Xiang nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, Steward, I will do it when I have time. â
Seeing that Fang Ji had finished speaking, Fang Gui first glanced at Fang Fu defiantly, and then said, "Grand Steward." This month, a total of 4,520 seven-grade solid heart pills were refined, and seven-grade refined pills were refined...... This month's Dan volume has increased again. Because two more long-term cooperative seven-rank alchemists have been recruited, their Dan production is good. As for everything else in the Dan room, everything else is fine. â
Fang Xiang heard that Fang Gui had recruited two more seventh-grade alchemists, nodded and appreciated: "Yes, Fang Gui, you have made a lot of contributions, the output has increased for several months in a row, and the dosing shop has added fresh blood for several months in a row, which is amazing." Okay, good job. â
Fang Ji, who was on the side, also looked at Fang Gui with envy, and sighed in his heart that this Fang Gui has really been lucky recently, and he has recruited seven pins of Dan masters for several months in a row, and the amount of Dan produced in these seven-pins pill room continues to increase, no wonder he will be a little proud, and he will look down on Fang Fu, who has been declining recently.
Fang Fu, who was sitting at the end, suddenly shook his head in his heart, wondering in his heart what kind of shit luck this Fang Gui had taken, he had recruited the Seventh Rank Dan Master for several months in a row, it was really unlucky.
"Steward, you have taught you well. Fang Gui hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly, but the smile on his face could show how proud he was at this time.
"Chief Steward, this month, a total of 17,000 Nine-Rank Qi Enhancement Pills and Nine-Rank Solid Pills have been refined...... A total of 73,000 Eight-Rank Huayu Pills were refined, a slight increase from the previous month. As for the long-term cooperation of the Nine Rank Dan Master, it was not recruited, and two Nine Rank Alchemists were lost this month, which is really ashamed of the medicine shop, and everything else in the Dan room is fine. Fang Fu waited for Fang Gui to finish speaking, and then said. Moreover, he refined seventy-three thousand eight-grade Qi Nourishing Pills, and his bite was particularly heavy.
"It's really useless, I can't even recruit the Nine Pindans. Although Fang Gui was surprised that Fang Fu had actually taken out more than 70,000 eight-grade stasis pills this month, he still said in an inaudible voice on the side. Several of the people present here were all successful cultivators, and Fang Gui's words were naturally heard clearly by them.
"You ......" Fang Fu blushed, and with a slap of his palm, he smashed the armrest of the chair.
"Fang Fu, sit down. Fang Fu had just started the case when Fang Xiang's voice came.
"Fang Gui, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding between you and Fang Fu. You and Fang Fu are both from the Sifang Pharmacy, I hope you can get along in harmony and take care of the pharmacy together. Fang Xiang paused and said earnestly.
"Yes, Grand Steward. Fang Gui replied respectfully.
Fang Fu's face changed for a while, under Fang Xiang's forced gaze, he still couldn't get up, so he could only respond: "Chief Steward, don't worry, I know the severity." â
