Chapter 124: Silent Compromise
Xiao Shi, how do you see that my fourth grandfather has not had much time?
With the light of his thoughts, Chu Mengyao decisively changed the topic, hoping to eliminate the contradiction.
Xiao Shi said lightly: There is a black air in front of the old guy's forehead. If you observe carefully, you will find out what you can't find out. If you are a person with a normal IQ, you should respect yourself when facing a master of medicine who can refine energy pills like me, especially for your own life safety.
It shows that your worries about life have affected your fourth grandfather's IQ.
Chu Yunzheng was helped to sit up by his family at this time. He suddenly heard Xiao Shi's comment on him, and his eyebrows were jumping around with anger, but he bit his lips tightly and refused to say a word.
His skills are inferior to others, and he feels ashamed by a young man, and he feels sad. He wished he would drink a big bowl of wine and eat meat when he was young, and he was so carefree and unrestrained that he was not as embarrassed as he is today.
Time is really the most ruthless.
The thin old man Chu Yunqi glanced at the elder brother's attitude and found that he had no expression on his face, as if he was not affected by the accident at all. He had to endure the anger in his heart and smashed the table with his fist heavily.
He reached out and swept the blood sprayed on the table. The blood sprayed on the table was swept up by an invisible force, and finally condensed into a ball of blood and threw it outside. His servants helped him with the subsequent treatment.
Xiao Shi, although our Chu family’s medicine depot is not as low as the Tang family, it will not be much smaller. Otherwise, you can go and choose as much as you like, and the extra medicinal materials are our rewards. In addition, you can also pay a price for money, and we will prepare the medicine furnace for you. You can help our Chu family to refine a furnace of elixirs and we can get one. What do you think?
Chu Yunxiong spoke.
Brothers and feet are connected, and the four brothers live together for a lifetime, and their relationship is not comparable to anything, but Chu Yunxiong was also angry at the ungratefulness of the fourth brother and did not see himself so grandly invite Xiao Shi over. Your reckless behavior almost completely ruined today's affairs.
The Tang family taught a lesson in front of him. Xiao Shi will be revenged. I am afraid that the Tang family will find it difficult to get a pill in the future. I have told several brothers several times in advance. The fourth brother is still so impulsive. What can he do?
Is this true? Xiao Shi didn't know what he was thinking, but he was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Another group of people in the Chu family were secretly anxious.
Why is Xiao Shi so scrupulous? Isn’t he Mengyao’s bodyguard? Isn’t it the duty to refine elixirs for our Chu family? How can you not do anything with your salary?
A little further apart, Lin Xue quietly told her husband that she was Chu Jiangyun's right-hand assistant in the business world. In the past twenty years, she assisted Chu Jiangyun in orderly managing the Chu Group and was a rare shopping mall elite.
In addition, it is very well maintained, and she is like a girl in her early forties. It is really hard to match her side with ordinary beauties. Her temperament is even more outstanding. She has a considerable reputation in Yuncheng and even the whole province, and has a lot of pumps.
Chu Jiangyun glanced at his wife, opened her mouth but couldn't speak.
Xiao Shi is obviously close to Mengyao and has a purpose. With his ability, how much salary does the Chu family have to pay to keep him under normal circumstances? Didn’t you see that people didn’t even sell the face of several elderly people? You just turned your back on your face.
Lin Xue's knowledge is still too narrow. She still doesn't know the horror of ancient warriors. But it's no wonder that several old men from the Chu family usually live in seclusion. Yuncheng has been peaceful on the surface over the years. There are very few ordinary people who can see ancient warriors taking action.
Chu Yunxiong sighed: The fourth brother suffered a loss of impulsive and hot personality. He was brave and fierce when he was young, and only wanted to be free and easy in his heart, not to ask for trouble, and so many secret injuries on his body. The older he was, the more diseases he suffered when he was young. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he would never have been like this.
When Chu Yunzheng heard his elder brother's words, he felt sad. Wasn't he like this when he was young? He had a smooth and happy time, but he had countless bitter fruits to eat when he was old. He walked at least ten years earlier than his brothers. He was unwilling to accept it.
This has nothing to do with me. Since the Chu family's medicine bank is open to me, I must go in and search. As for money, it is spared for Mr. Chu's sake.
When the new energy pill is released, I will leave you two.
Xiao Shi said, and everyone in the Chu family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Although Xiao Shi's temper was really not popular, it was the best result now.
Lin Xue frowned and looked at Xiao Shi. The more she looked, the more uncomfortable she felt. She could see that Xiao Shi was approaching her daughter, probably with bad intentions and other purposes, but she didn't have the right to speak up here.
She couldn't sit still and simply accused Chu Yunxiong of guilt and hurried upstairs. Chu Yunxiong waved his hand impatiently and drove away other ordinary people, including Chu Jiangyun. Now only ancient warriors were left in the entire hall.
They also changed a room and came to a private courtyard behind, where incense was lit and some bookshelfs were placed with ancient thread-bound books, which was obviously not a place for young people to break into.
The medicinal properties of the Spirit Pill are very strong and are not suitable for him. I am afraid that the medicine will be too effective for a while and will die suddenly on the spot, so I have to use other medicines in advance to make up for the deficiency in my body and energy.
Xiao Shi said that at this time there were several medicine furnaces in front of him for him to choose from.
Several medicine furnaces were no different from the one he had before. The quality level was similar, but the style and casting time were different, so he chose a triangular tripod.
At this time, Chu Mengyao personally took the packed medicines out of the medicine warehouse in bundles and piled them up in this private courtyard for Xiao Shi to choose.
Xiao Shi did not expect that Chu Yunxiong was too modest to say just now. The Chu family's medicine depot was not as good as he said as the Tang family. It was probably even better than the Tang family.
He frowned and glanced at the four old men.
Chu Yunzheng, who was almost killed by himself, can be excluded, and the thin old man Chu Yunqi can also be excluded. Another elegant old man seems to be an ordinary person, but he has been staying here. He seems to be hidden and is also an ancient martial artist. However, after Xiao Shi observed that the other party's mental power fluctuations were not large.
Then it is very likely that the alchemist is Chu Yunxiong himself, or that the other person who did not show up in the Chu family, otherwise it would not be reasonable to maintain so many Chinese herbal medicines.
Xiao Shi said it was a plunder, but in the end he gave the Chu family face and did not plunder it. In addition to the necessary medicinal materials for the Spirit Pill, he only selected some of the things he needed.
The old men who had been tense in their hearts were a little surprised. They thought they were killed and were killed hard, but they didn't expect that Xiao Shi did not take any ruthless measures in the end and retained huge room. Most of the medicinal materials remained intact and didn't even look at them. In this way, although the Chu family's medicine warehouse had moved their muscles and bones, the losses were still within the affordable range.
The four of them were a little embarrassed, while Chu Mengyao smiled and raised her eyebrows at Xiao Shi in secret, as if you were doing well.
I will cook a furnace of body refining soup now. After the energy pill is refined, I will let Mengyao bring it back to you.
Xiao Shi no longer paid attention to a few people. He snapped his fingers, bang, and a flame ignited out of thin air and began to bake the bottom of the medicine furnace.
Want me to help?
Chu Mengyao remembered the scene when she helped to refine the Peiyuan Pill last time and asked Xiao Shi.
No, body refining soup is just to make Chinese medicine, just do it casually. Xiao Shi shook his head, controlled the flames to fully bake and preheat the bottom of the entire medicine furnace, and began to summon some common medicine materials into the medicine furnace.
Xiao Shi did not avoid them when he refining this body-refining soup. The four old men stopped talking and stared at Xiao Shi's movements, and their hearts were beating.
The more Chu Yunzheng looked, the more he felt solemn. Xiao Shi summoned him casually, so that the medicinal materials could be ingested into the medicine furnace out of thin air, just like he had a hand to grab them out of thin air. This is a magical power that can exert its ability to control objects to an extremely high level. He couldn't understand it at all, let alone do it.
Only Chu Yunxiong seemed to see something. Xiao Shiyu Guang saw his hand hiding in his sleeve as if he was following the movement, and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he was almost out of reach. Chu Yunxiong was really an alchemist, and he was really hidden. He had been keeping such a secret for so many years.
Soon the furnace cover was covered with a bang, and the yard was silent. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and the scene became a little awkward.
Xiao Shi, didn’t you say you wanted to give A Qing a spirit pill? Don’t forget it then. Chu Mengyao reminded her a little worriedly.
Only tonight did she know how important the energy pill is. She could actually save the life of the fourth grandfather. For this mere energy pill, the family even brought out the medicine warehouse for him to choose!
Then A Qing’s energy pill must not be out of tune, otherwise he will suffer a loss and will not know if A Qing will cry to death.
I know, by the way, Mr. Chu, do you know Aqing’s Benlei Gate?
Xiao Shi answered Chu Mengyao and suddenly asked Chu Yunxiong.
Chu Yunxiong was slightly stunned and nodded and said: Of course, I have also visited Benleimen. Why, are you interested in it?
Xiao Shi said with a smile: I am not interested in Benleimen, but I am very interested in its medicine warehouse. After all, it is a serious mountain gate. Although your Chu family has so many medicinal materials, it is a drop in the bucket compared to Benleimen, right?
Chu Yunxiong raised his eyebrows: Yes, we have very few Tibetan medicines, and it is far from comparable to the Benlei Sect. What do you mean?
The Cangyang Sect has looted all the medicine depots of Benleimen. I am short of medicinal materials now. I want to use the Cangyang Sect to grab some medicinal materials and fight Qiufeng. I wonder what you think?
Robbing a mountain gate to fight the autumn wind?
Several old men almost bit their tongues. Why is Xiao Shi so arrogant? Although the Benlei Sect is weak, it is also an ancient martial artist in the mountain gate. The Cangyang Sect is even stronger than it. Its strength can be imagined. If you want to rob others, aren’t you afraid of being beaten to death?
Forget it, let's talk about this later.
