On the banks of green mountains and green waters, a classical and elegant courtyard was located.
Facing the rising sun, a few sounds of breathing could be heard from the small courtyard from time to time.
"In terms of geographical location, this place is under the jurisdiction of Upper Liang, but who doesn't know that this place is a hundred miles away from Upper Liang!”He took a bucket of water and washed away the sweat on his body, drenching his entire body.
"But that's good. Staying here is better than staying in the prison. At least my freedom is guaranteed. He still had some money on hand, so he would enter the city to buy some medicinal herbs first. He couldn't always count on Pu Shan's Hundred Taste Pure and Spirit Gathering Pills!”
He had just finished his practice, and the water did not feel anything on his body. After putting on his clothes and holding a bag of silver pieces, Wu Chen walked out of the courtyard.
It had been more than half a month since Wu Chen had been released from prison. During this time, Wu Chen had been staying in the small courtyard. To the public, he was recuperating, but in fact, he was hiding the things he had brought out of the imperial prison.
After all, things like Bai Wei Chun and the Spirit Gathering Pill were quite a fortune to the secular world. Putting aside the political implications of this matter, just the value of these two items was enough to disrupt Wu Chen's seemingly peaceful life.
Although the treasures were good, they would be used up one day. After more than half a year of consumption, whether it was Bai Weichun or the Spirit Gathering Pill, they had already entered a relatively urgent state.
If he couldn't replenish his Yuan Qi from other sources, Wu Chen's current rapid cultivation method would come to an end. This was obviously not something Wu Chen wanted to see. Under such a background, Wu Chen's gaze fell on the medicinal herbs.
Medicinal herbs were naturally born and nurtured by the earth, so the effect of using them directly might not be as good as one-tenth of the effect of a finished medicine. However, it could relieve Wu Chen's temporary needs. As his cultivation increased day by day, he would need to consume a Spirit Gathering Pill every three days instead of once every seven days. Otherwise, Wu Chen would always be awakened by hunger every night.
At least he had the notes left behind by Pu Shan to check. Otherwise, Wu Chen would have been worried to death. However, according to the description in Pu Shan's notes, this situation was easy to deal with, but difficult to deal with. The key was still the absorption of vitality.
One had to know that no matter which cultivation technique it was, the foundation of its power was the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, as one's cultivation increased, the consumption of Qi of Heaven and Earth during the cultivation process would also increase. To change this situation, the only way was to supplement it with food and medicine. This was why the dream of longevity was generally pursued by the rich. The reason was that the amount of money consumed in this process was too much.
Red Bone Wine, three adult red snakes, three pairs of adult tiger ribs, a hundred-year-old ginseng, three catties of wolfberries, one catty of Dragon Entangling Grass, and a jar of high-grade White Bone Wine.
The recipe for the Red Bone Wine was recorded in Pu Shan's notes. Of course, the recipe for this wine was recorded in Pu Shan's notes on seven to eight pages. From this, it was not difficult to see how much Pu Shan respected wine. After Wu Chen's repeated comparisons, he concluded that this Red Bone Wine had the lowest cost, the simplest brewing method, and the best effect for Wu Chen at this stage.
After much consideration, Wu Chen finally decided to concoct this Scarlet Bone Wine.
……
After eight months, Wu Chen had once again arrived at the city gate of Upper Beam City. However, this time, he had arrived in his physical body. Today, he would enter Upper Beam City openly and experience the hustle and bustle of Upper Beam City that he had not seen for many years.
Carrying the money bag, Wu Chen walked along the bluestone street that could allow four carriages to move at the same time. He felt the endless flow of people and traffic in the bustling city. Wu Chen slowly blended into it and finally disappeared into the bustling crowd.
After walking for three thousand steps, Wu Chen finally arrived at the largest medicinal herb distribution center in Shangliang Urban area, Renhe Road.
Speaking of Renhe Road in the south city, one had to mention the "Pine Zhi Forest" and "Baiyang Hall" on Renhe Road. These two big medicine shops were the best in the Chen-Xing Nation. They had managed 80% of the medicine business in the continent. There were only medicines that you could not imagine. Of course, the key was money.
"This is the Pine Zhi Forest. As expected of a thousand-year-old shop.”He looked up at the gold-lettered signboard placed on the street. The strokes and paintings showed the style of a big family, making people stop and walk into the shop to take a look.
Although Songzhi Forest and Baiyang Hall were both shops that bought medicinal herbs, those who understood the mysteries would realize that Songzhi Forest only sold raw materials, while Baiyang Hall sold more finished medicines. As for which of the two was better, it was difficult to judge.
After all, in Pu Shan's notes, the 'Lu Lizard Wine' of Baiyang Hall had the beautiful name of 'Three Stars of Fortune, Lu Longevity in Heaven, Three Brews of Fortune, Lu Longevity in Earth'. Among them, the' Fu 'was the' Fu 'wine of the Gathering Zhi Zhai, the' Gui 'was the' Gui Shen 'wine of the Gui Xian Liu, and the' Lu 'was naturally the' Lu Lizard Wine 'of Baiyang Hall.
Although it was noon when they entered the shop, it was still bustling with people. Most of them were merchants dressed in silk and satin, and a small number were martial arts students dressed in warrior robes.
"These martial arts students may look tall and sturdy, but there are only a few of them who really know martial arts.”Wu Chen couldn't help but mutter softly in his heart as he looked at everyone's unsteady footsteps.
One had to know that if a dynasty wanted to rule for a long time, it had to continuously weaken the martial strength of the people and strengthen its own martial strength to form a balance.
After hundreds of years of rule, if one wanted to learn martial arts in the Chen-Xing Empire, one had to go to the Martial Academy to get the qualification of a martial student. Otherwise, practicing martial arts privately would be regarded as treason. Of course, the families of officials were not included. It was not difficult to see how much the Chen-Xing Empire restricted the martial arts of the people.
In the past year, Wu Chen had been practicing martial arts day and night without wasting a single day. At the same time, he had also learned a lot of general knowledge from the notes of the cattail leaf fan. If one observed carefully, one could more or less see some things. For example, most of the martial arts students standing here had loose muscles. They were completely different from martial arts practitioners who had saturated muscles and tight bones.
"Seeing that you are wearing a brocade robe, I think you want to buy some medicinal herbs for making wine. Our shop has a new batch of Angelica, Dragon's Beard, Honeysuckle, Turtle's Back, Jellyfish, and Seven-step Snake. Of course, there were also finished products, but they were a little more expensive.”
Seeing Wu Chen pacing back and forth in the shop, a worker who was working quickly went up to him.
"I want some living animals. I wonder if your shop can provide them.”One had to know that the most important thing about making wine with living things was the word "alive". The effects of living and dead objects were completely different. The herbs that the waiter mentioned before were all good, but they were not practical. At most, they could be used to make some medicinal wine. There was too much difference to make medicinal wine that could promote blood circulation and health.
"If you want to buy a living creature, please come here. There are over a thousand kinds of living creatures in this shop, including hundreds of snakes, such as seven-step snakes, five-venomous snakes, fire snakes, red flame snakes, eye snakes, etc. There are also different species according to the place of production. I wonder what kind of snake Young Master wants.”The most commonly used living creature to brew medicinal wine was still a snake. Of course, some people used other poisons, but no matter which poison, the more poisonous it was, the better the effect.
"Is there a Crimson Snake on Huanggang Slope?" Wu Chen had naturally seen these details from Pu Shan's notes, and he had even left a sentence under the recipe.
"Young Master, it seems that you are also an expert in this. I hope Young Master can forgive me for my previous actions. The Yellow Gang Slope Crimson Snake was also known as the royal clan of the Crimson Snake tribe. Its poison was so strong that it could kill a person within three steps. An adult Snake Emperor could even kill a person from a hundred steps away with its snake smoke.”When he heard Wu Chen mention the Crimson Refinement Chariot, the shop assistant immediately changed the topic and gave a brief introduction of the Crimson Refinement Snake.
"Money is not a problem. I want three. The stronger the poison, the better!”Wu Chen stretched out three fingers and shook his head. This shop assistant was really too clever.
"Young Master, what else do you need? I can bring it to you.”It should be known that the customers who bought living things in Songzhi Hall were basically the masters who made their own wine. For this kind of comprehensive business, Songzhi Hall was the most willing and best at it.
"Three pairs of tiger bones, one hundred-year-old ginseng, three catties of wolfberries, and one catty of Dragon Entangling Grass.”He explained the rest of the medicinal herbs. It should be known that the formula of each medicinal wine was concluded after countless attempts by predecessors. If a person could brew a jar of Red Bone Wine with medicinal herbs, would they still want to live? Thus, Wu Chen wasn't worried about the formula being leaked.
"Alright, I've noted them all down. We have white tiger bones, black tiger bones, and ordinary tiger bones in our shop.”After memorizing Wu Chenbao's information, the shop assistant immediately asked him about his choice of tiger bones.
"There's no need to say anything else. Use the best for me.”When Wu Chen heard what the shop assistant said, he immediately felt a headache coming on. It should be known that the prescription written by the cattail leaf fan had all the medicinal ingredients and the preparation process, but the selection of medicinal ingredients was very vague. For example, the origin of the red snake could have been written by the cattail leaf fan at random. If the shop assistant asked him one by one, he really did not know when it would end. He might as well use all the good ones.
Who asked Wu Chen to obtain a hundred taels of plain gold and a thousand taels of silver from the palace before he was released from prison? This money was enough for Wu Chen to squander for a while. Moreover, this money was used for martial arts, so Wu Chen had no reason to save it.
"Young Master, please go upstairs. It might take some time to prepare these herbs. Young Master, you can drink some tea upstairs first.”
After sending Wu Chen to a private room upstairs and handing him a cup of ginseng tea, the waiter immediately told Wu Chen that he was on leave and went downstairs.
Holding the ginseng tea in his hand, Wu Chen couldn't help but shake his head. There were already seven or eight tables in the private room filled with customers waiting for medicine. There was no lack of real martial artists among these customers. Looking at these martial artists who were chatting merrily, Wu Chen put down the teacup and closed his eyes to rest.
At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the stairs. A young man in a second-grade official uniform walked up with a folding fan. At the same time, he was followed by three servants who were afraid of martial arts.
"Lord Li, I wonder what brings you here.”Seeing the young man walk up to the second floor, the shopkeeper who was sitting at the side immediately ran out.
"What kind of wind can there be? It's all because of Crown Prince Peak! He really thinks he's made for this!" Flapping the folding fan in his hand, the young man fiercely found an empty seat and sat down.
"Lord Li, you mustn't say that. Crown Prince Peak is so powerful now, aren't you making things difficult for yourself?”Looking at Lord Li who was in a rage, the shop owner really couldn't sit still.
"He is above me in the court, but what can he do to me, Li Jingyi? You have to act like this." Li Jingyi took two sips of ginseng tea from the waiter and took a deep breath before speaking.
"Hmph, it's all because of the Zhao Family's thousand year blood essence.”Li Jingyi adjusted his official robe and sat up straight.
"Thousand-year blood essence, it's a good thing. I wonder what's inside!”First, he heard about the Crown Prince Peak, and then he heard about the thousand-year-old blood essence. Wu Chen, who was sitting at the side, could not help but think.
