"Adjuvant medicine and refining fees included, with the odd amount waived, the total comes to one hundred thirteen thousand six hundred taels."
Liang Qu flipped through the silver notes with his thumb, picked out a stack, and after the clerk confirmed the count, he respectfully handed over a palm-sized medicine box.
"Please keep it safe."
Money and goods exchanged hands, both sides settled.
Ta Ta Kai strode forward and led him out.
"Broke again."
Liang Qu sighed.
After settling the ore trade in Bloodstone County, he had struck it rich, his savings once reaching a staggering five hundred thousand. Yet before he had even saved for two years, buying two spirit breeds cost him three hundred thousand, leaving only two hundred thousand. Then he collected several months of salary, bringing it back up to around two hundred twenty or thirty thousand.
After yesterday's and today's spending, it had plummeted back to the hundred-thousand range.
Money came fast and went fast. It truly did wonders for Da Shun's economic prosperity.
The imperial court ought to grant him two Great Merits! I need to report in seriously!
Liang Qu silently made up his mind.
He opened the medicine box.
A dense, strange fragrance spilled out.
A pale-yellow pill the size of a human eye lay quietly inside. It was precisely the pill he had had the Weng Family refine using half a Doghead Fish head! In the past, for a pill this large, he would have insisted on meditating for half a day, burning incense and bathing, treating it with utmost solemnity.
But now...
He sniffed it. There was no strange odor according to the Nose Consciousness Method. He tossed it into his mouth in one bite, refining it in an instant.
Surging medicinal power rushed into his cloud sea.
Golden light
