Chapter 6: The Grand Master of Pharmacology [Part 1]

Time flies, and time passes.

In a blink of an eye, another half month passed, and the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, especially in Tizhou. As the news that Zhenbaoxuan was about to auction the jade seal in the town spread, a large number of martial arts people flocked to Tizhou, causing Tizhou to yell, mixed with fish and dragons. On the streets of Anmincheng, martial arts people carrying swords and swords could be seen everywhere.

Although a large number of martial arts people have brought certain hidden dangers to the public security of Anmincheng, these martial arts people have also brought prosperity to Anmincheng. In the severe winter, the streets should have been deserted, but now they are in a hot mood. The business of vendors on the streets is extremely hot, and they are even more prosperous than the peak season in summer!

While Anmin City became lively, there was also a sense of terrifying aura, because a large number of city guards were arranged in the entire city, and even the cavalry had entered the city, with ten steps and five steps per sentry. However, as long as the people in the city were not blatantly obedient, the city guards would not interfere. Even if there were people, as long as there was no armed fight, the city guards would just disperse them and not arrest anyone.

Anmincheng became so prosperous and lively in the severe winter. The taverns on the streets were open almost day and night. The guys in the tavern were in pain and happy. While holding red envelopes and bonuses, they worked all night and turned into panda eyes. In the end, the shopkeeper had to hire a few more people and work day and night.

Everyone knows that the current prosperity of Anmincheng is caused by the auction of Zhenbaoxuan’s jade seal. After the auction is over, the prosperity of Anmincheng will definitely shrink significantly, but even the short-term prosperity makes many people very happy.

On this day, in a noisy tavern in Anmin City, an old man with a black beard and a young man in a gorgeous costume were sitting in the corner drinking...

"This little girl is really a character. She actually came up with such an idea to make the business of Tizhou very popular. The current prosperity is probably not even as good as the Imperial City of Tianduzhou." The old man with a black beard said with a smile.

"Disciple didn't realize that the prosperity at this moment was just an illusion. After the Zhenbaoxuan was auctioned, the prosperity would go with the wind, and An Minjun was already on the verge of the waves. If Zhang Jiao did not stop, Zhenhai Daoguan and Kunwumen might have to take action. At that time, the Tizhou rebel army would be a joke and would be destroyed in a blink of an eye!" said the young man in the Chinese costume.

"Haha." The old man with black beard smiled but did not speak. When the young man with gorgeous clothes saw the old man with black beard expression, he couldn't help but ask: "Does the master think what the disciple is saying is wrong?"

"Haha, if it were before, my army would not pay attention to the Tizhou rebel army, but now, my army finds that I underestimated the Tizhou rebel army, to be precise, underestimated the Tizhou Zhang family! This Zhang family... is a bit mysterious." said the old man from black beard.

The young man in the Chinese clothing frowned and asked hesitantly: "Master, why did you come to Tizhou after you leave the customs?"

"Haha." The old man with black beard smiled and said, "Come and look for opportunities, a great opportunity!"

After the old man black beard finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass, then stood up and said, "Let's go, go to the Zhang family with your teacher and explore the bottom of the Zhang family."

The young man in the gorgeous clothes quickly got up, threw a silver ingot on the table at the same time, and followed the old man with black beard out of the tavern and walked on the street. The two walked side by side, crossing the Cross Street and heading towards the West Street.

"Huh?" The young man in the Chinese clothing was surprised to find that the old man with black beards walked towards the West Street instead of the East Street, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, aren't we going to the city lord's mansion?"

"No, I said that I went to the Zhang family, not the Zhang family of the city lord's mansion, but the Zhang family of the orthodox Zhang family. Zhang Jiao was just a side branch of the Zhang family." said the old man from the black beard.

"You mean Zhang Jiao's brother Zhang Liang? But as far as my disciples know, Zhang Liang now lives in Qingquan City, but not in Anmin City." said the young man in gorgeous clothes.

"It is because Zhang Liang is not here that my teacher wants to visit me. If Zhang Liang is here, my teacher would not dare to be so reckless." The old man with a black beard said with a smile.

"...Master, what is Zhang Liang capable of making him so careful?" asked the young man in China.

"There is nothing else, only the master." The old man with black beard said lightly.

"What!?" the young man in the Chinese clothing whispered, but then he remembered that it was on the street and his actions were too eye-catching, so he quickly pretended to be fine, continued to walk side by side with the old man with the black beard, and then asked in a low voice: "Master, are you saying that Zhang Liang a master?"

"Haha, I'm not sure about my master, but this probability is very high. In addition to Zhang Liang and Zhang Jiao, the Zhang family may also hide the third or fourth master!" The old man with black beard said softly.

"Hiss!" The young man in the Chinese clothing took a breath, looked at the old man with black beard in disbelief, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Master, why do you think so?"

The old man with black beard glanced at the young man in the gorgeous clothes and said, "Yutong, what do you rely on to achieve the master as a teacher?"

The young man in China raised his eyebrows and said, "Master, you have profound skills and extraordinary skills, so you will naturally become a master..."

"Haha, don't say anything nice. Master knows in his heart that the main reason why a master can become a master is because of the snake gall you bought. If there is no snake gall, the master may not be able to beat the master in his life. Therefore, that snake gall is crucial!" The old man with black beard suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said, "If Master tells you that the snake gall is not a natural plant, but a man-made thing like a steamed bun, what do you think?"

"What!?" The young man in the Chinese clothing exclaimed again, and the old man in the black beard smiled at the young man in the Chinese clothing, and then walked forward again. The young man in the Chinese clothing hurriedly followed and asked at the same time: "Master, is that snake gall fake?"

"No, it's true! The medicinal effect is amazing, and the medicinal power is also very pure, which is even higher than the treasures of heaven and earth. However, I have been dealing with medicinal materials for a lifetime and have never seen any kind of snake gall, and I am still very confident in my eyesight. Although the snake gall is very realistic, there is still a little surprise compared to the real snake gall. Before taking the snake gall, I did not care too much about those surprises. However, when I took the snake gall, my tongue tasted the snake gall, and the flaw of this snake gall immediately appeared! This snake gall is not real snake gall at all, but is made of dozens of medicinal materials, and it is simply a medicine soup!" said the old man from the black beard.

The young man in gorgeous clothes showed shock on his face, and then he felt thoughtful, but the old man with black beard did not say anything anymore. The two walked forward silently. After a while, they came not far from the Zhang Mansion. They stopped at the same time and looked at the plaque of the Zhang Mansion and the layers of guards around the Zhang Mansion.

"The defense here is even better than the City Lord's Mansion. It seems that there is really a problem with the Zhang family." said the young man in the Chinese clothing.

"It seems that there are quite a lot of people paying attention to the Zhang family." The old man from black beard said, glanced around, smiled, and then said, "Yutong, go and send a message to you."

… …………………

In the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Chong's yard, and in the kitchen, Zhang Chong was sitting on a small stool. There were large plates on the table in front of him, and inside the plate were large scorpions that were fried, and the size of adult slaps. After frying, they were even more plump than the big crab and tasted a unique flavor.

The big scorpions that Zhang Chong ate were all brought out by Zhang Yuan from the Scorpion Snake Venom Valley, but they could not bring out the living, they could only bring out the dead. Zhang Yuan brought out the scorpion from the dungeon, and originally wanted to find a few pharmacological masters to develop antidotes that the scorpion was highly toxic. However, I don’t know what was wrong with Zhang Chong. He actually ate the scorpion, fried, boiled, stir-fried, and ate it in different ways. He often begged Zhang Yuan to help him bring some big scorpions back from the "Xianshan", which made Zhang Yuan very depressed.

Zhang Chong picked up a big scorpion, pinched it on the scorpion shell a few times, and then tucked it with both hands. The scorpion shell suddenly broke and fell into white and tender scorpion meat. Zhang Chong took the scorpion meat with soy sauce or hot sauce, and there was also a pot of wine to eat and drink. It was so beautiful, and the guy's fat face was full of enjoyment.

When Zhang Chong was having a good meal, a servant walked out of the kitchen and said, "Second Young Master, someone sent a message to him outside the door."

The servant said and handed the prayer book forward. Zhang Chong reluctantly put down the big scorpion on his hand, wiped his hands with a towel, took the prayer book, and unfolded it. Only six words were written on the prayer book, "Li Chi, Doctor You Fang.", plus a palm print and a seal.

This book of worship is not regular. Orthodox book should be written in the ancestral home, current place of residence, clan origin, and reasons for visiting. However, this is not a deadly rule. Some people who are free and unrestrained can only write their names or stamp them with seals and finish the matter. Often, the simpler the book of worship is the higher the identity, which is known to celebrities. Only one name is enough to explain everything, and other introductions are redundant.

"Li Chi? Old Monster Li?" Zhang Chong was very surprised, frowned, then turned his head to look at the servant, and asked, "Has the person outside the door ever said something?"

"No, the people outside the door just gave me a greeting, but there were two people outside the door, one was a very energetic old man and the other was a young man." The servant said.

"Okay, you go down." Zhang Chong said.

"Yes, Master." said the servant.

"Li Chi, Li, a young man in a gorgeous costume... Could it be that Li Yutong, Li Yutong bought the snake gall last time, and this time, Old Monster Li came to his door in person..."

Zhang Chong muttered while tidying up his clothes, then walked out of the kitchen, out of his own courtyard, and headed straight to the gate of the main courtyard...

After a while, Zhang Chong walked to the gate of the main courtyard. The servants and guards at the door hurriedly saluted, and Zhang Chong responded, then turned his eyes to the black-bearded old man and the young man in gorgeous clothes standing not far from the main gate.
