Under the scorching sun, Changning County.

There are many lofts on both sides of the street, and restaurants and teahouses are all available. The heights are staggered, and the eaves are abrupt. The road is ten feet wide, enough for ten cars to drive abreast. But at this time, business is booming and there is a lot of people. Let alone the carriages, even people are walking shoulder to shoulder.

Rub your heels.

This kind of prosperous style cannot be seen in small towns such as Ni Niu, Shi Niu and Cao Niu.

Li Wuqi, Da Zhuang, two Zhuangs and three others walked side by side.

Da Zhuang said: "Those two lines of your poem are going to make Master unable to go out for several days."

Erzhuang added: "Not only can't I go out, I can't even sleep well."

Li Wuqi smiled and said nothing.

He knew the level of "Jianjinjiu" in his mind; if the whole poem was alive, winning the first prize at the Hongque Poetry Contest would be a trivial matter; more importantly, the first person to get the whole poem would definitely win the prize in the Hongque Poetry Competition.

A crucial step in the cultivation of literature and art.

But this step was left to Li Wuxin.

People of the Li clan were born with incomplete martial arts spirits, and they relied on literature and art to carry the opportunity to change their lives. However, Li Wuxin had been unable to see since she was young, and she had never studied poetry. Even if Li Wuqi read "Jian Jin Jiu" to her, she

To her, it was like hearing a book from heaven.

Li Wuqi had already planned to teach his sister to read and write when she regained her sight; he was confident that his own poetry reserves would be enough to create a literary scholar.

As for myself, since my literary heart has been broken, I can only go to the end of a martial arts path.

Thinking of this, he asked Da Zhuang for advice: "Brother Da Zhuang, the "Body Training Cross Technique" that you taught me earlier was quite effective at the beginning, but as you go through it, it becomes more and more ineffective."

Da Zhuang nodded: "Yes. Firstly, the "Cross Body Refining Technique" is only the most basic exercise method, and the effect is destined to be limited; secondly, when a person's physical strength reaches a certain level, and he wants to continue to improve, he needs to

It’s a one-stage approach.”

Li Wuqi asked: "What is the next stage?"

Da Zhuang said: "From the outside to the inside; from the skin, flesh, and bones, to the meridians, Dantian, and breath."

Er Zhuang answered: "There are three ways! One, elixirs; two, martial arts; three, death training."

Da Zhuang further explained: "The elixirs and martial arts for body refining are rare goods and not easy to get. At the same time, they are the fastest and most effective! As for death training, well, there is no other way."

Li Wuqi thought thoughtfully: "Death training..."

"But!" Er Zhuozhao shook his fist in front of Li Wuqi, "Actually, the best way to practice martial arts is actual combat! Believe me, after you defeat a hundred enemies, your physical body will naturally be the same.

!”

Li Wuqi nodded: "It makes sense."

A Changning River passes through the city, and Yongqing Pharmacy is located at the head of Changning Bridge. Pedestrians traveling from south to north will pass by here.

Its facade is clean and bright, with a word "medicine" hanging high on the eaves; two wooden door couplets are hung on both sides of the door: I hope there will be no suffering in the world, I would rather put medicine on the shelf to create dust.

Da Zhuang said: "Brother Wuqi, you said you wanted to buy medicine. This Yongqing Pharmacy is the largest pharmacy in Changning County."

The three of them entered the pharmacy together.

There were not many people in the store. A few doctors were sitting scattered around, taking pulses and checking the pulses of a few patients.

Erzhuang shouted to a clerk at the counter: "Hey! Guy, buy some medicine."

The clerk was busy writing down the prescription and asked without raising his head: "What medicine?"

Li Wuqi said: "Heart-protecting Ice Lotus."

"What?" The waiter raised his head in confusion, "What Lian?"

Erzhuang said impatiently: "You are a chain nurse who opens a pharmacy...what are you doing to protect me?"

"Heart-protecting Ice Lotus." An old gentleman walked into the counter and nodded slightly to Li Wuqi with a smile.

"Shopkeeper." The waiter saluted the old gentleman.

"Go and get some tea," the old gentleman said.

"yes."

"Sit over here." The old gentleman led Li Wuqi and the others to their seats, and asked, "What's the point of buying the Heart-Protect Ice Lotus?"

Da Zhuang frowned slightly: "Just tell me how much it costs."

The old gentleman smiled and said: "You don't know. This heart-protecting ice lotus is an unusual medicinal material. It is not only expensive, but it is also controlled by the current imperial court and is strictly prohibited from spreading. I dare say that if you look at Changning County, it is unique to my family, Yongqing."

"

Li Wuqi was a little surprised: "Why is this?"

The old man said: "The heart-protecting ice lotus has the effect of calming the mind and calming the soul, and its medicinal power is very powerful. It has a wide range of uses... In this world, after all, the human heart is unpredictable..."

Li Wuqi understood, this stuff probably belongs to the category of prescription drugs.

He said: "My sister has been weak since she was a child, and she has been injured recently, so she needs a strong dose of medicine. The doctor who prescribed the prescription said that she must use ice lotus to protect the heart and use it as medicine to guide and protect the heart, otherwise she may be afraid of it."

There is fear for one’s life.”

"I see."

The waiter brought tea and poured it for several people.

Erzhuang said eagerly: "I've asked and answered, how much does that thing cost?"

The old gentleman held the tea cup and said leisurely: "Eight hundred taels."

"Eight hundred taels?!" The big man and the big man shouted in unison and stood up suddenly, almost overturning the table.

Eight hundred taels?! Their annual salary is only two hundred taels!

Li Wuqi frowned slightly and said: "To be honest, this is the first time I've heard of this medicine, but I also inquired about the market from other doctors before going out. As they said, it's only three hundred taels at most."

The old man said: "Don't worry, young master, Yongqing Pharmacy is a good one. The ordinary heart-protecting ice lotus may only be worth three hundred taels, but the one I have in my hands at Yongqing Pharmacy is the best!"

Erzhuang shouted: "Old man, you are bluffing! What medicine is worth eight hundred taels of silver? It is enough to buy your entire shop!"

The old gentleman was not angry, and still smiled and said: "This shop is not cheap, I'm afraid eight hundred taels is not enough, right?"

Li Wuqi frowned and tried to bargain: "Five hundred taels."

"No penny less." The old man said firmly.

Da Zhuang said: "Brother Wuqi, this price is indeed expensive, otherwise we should look elsewhere?"

The old gentleman said confidently: "Don't worry, young master, I have already said that the heart-protecting ice lotus is unique to my Yongqing family and cannot be found anywhere else; I will not ruin Yongqing's reputation for eight hundred taels of silver."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Wuqi thought for a moment and then said to Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang: "Two brothers, can you lend me four hundred taels of silver?"

Da Zhuang said, "If we have it, let alone borrow it, why not just give it to you?"

Erzhuang took out his pocket card and slapped it on the table: "Old man, this is the county government's token. I'll give it to you for four hundred taels of silver first! I'll redeem it when my brother gets rich."

The old gentleman didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sir, please keep the token. This is not a pawn shop."

Er Zhuang stared, and unconsciously raised his voice: "What? For such a big county government, are you still afraid that I will default on my debt?!"

"no no……"

Li Wuqi stopped him hastily: "Brother Erzhuang, it's only a few hundred taels of silver. It's not worthy of you using the name of the county government."

Da Zhuang also scolded: "Er Zhuang! What does Master teach us on weekdays? When you go out, pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't discredit the county government."

"That's right!" Erzhuang looked delighted and said firmly, "Master Zhou must have it!"

Da Zhuang said: "Yes! Let's go find Master Zhou! Brother Wuqi, just wait for us here, and we'll come back as soon as we go!"

After that, the two of them ran towards the county government office.

In the pharmacy, the old gentleman looked at Li Wuqi and said with a smile: "Young Master, you might as well sit down and wait."

Li Wuqi saluted and said, "You're welcome, shopkeeper. You can go and do your work first. I'll go out for a walk as well."

When Li Wuqi went out, he heard the waiter behind him muttering: "Two of them went to get money, and one went for a walk. In the end, all three of them took the opportunity to escape, right? I thought I really met a big customer, huh, for nothing.

Such good tea..."

Li Wuqi remained calm and quietly looked back.
