Long River Gang, Nameless Medicine Formula

After leaving, Su Chen went to the Martial Hall, but he didn't see Hong Ming. Hong Ming had gone out on business and was expected to return after some time.

Li Mo, having learned about the Fang Family caravan's encounter, sized up Su Chen for a good while upon seeing him, only feeling relieved after confirming he was alright.

Then, he pulled Su Chen into a sparring match, only to be disheartened by Su Chen instead.

He didn't expect that Su Chen, who didn't practice at the Martial Hall every day, was no less skilled in Iron Wire Fist than himself, which made him exclaim that Su Chen was incredibly talented.

Su Chen gave a wry smile, not explaining anything.

Li Mo didn't know that he had already broken through; otherwise, he wouldn't have just let out one exclamation, but two.

After bidding farewell to Li Mo, Su Chen found a restaurant to eat, and after filling his stomach, he went home.

As soon as he arrived at his door, he saw the landlord sticking something on the gate. Before he could take a closer look, the landlord saw him.

"Su Chen, you're back just in time. I have something to tell you. Move out tomorrow."

The landlord looked at Su Chen and said. Only then did Su Chen notice that the content on the paper was a notice for him to move out.

"Old Xu, if I remember correctly, it hasn't been two months since I rented this house, but I paid the rent for half a year."

Su Chen said calmly.

Old Xu said with some embarrassment after hearing this, "Well, I'm afraid I can't refund the rent to you."

"Oh? This is clearly written in black and white. Does Old Xu want to go back on his word?" Su Chen frowned slightly.

Old Xu gave a wry smile and said, "Su Chen, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but this house of mine has been bought by the Long River Gang, and they didn't give me much money. I can't give it to you even if I wanted to!"

"That's your business. According to the agreement, if you breach the contract in advance, you need to pay me three times the remaining rent as compensation," Su Chen said.

"I, I can't pay it!" Old Xu's face was a little unsightly as he shook his head.

"If you can't pay, I'll continue to live here!" Su Chen said unceremoniously.

These words made Old Xu's face turn gloomy. He looked at Su Chen and said in a deep voice, "Then do as you please. The people from the Long River Gang will come to take over the house tomorrow. Don't blame me for not reminding you when you offend them."

Seeing Old Xu's attitude, Su Chen ignored him and went straight into the house, closing the door.

Old Xu stood at the door for a long time, his face alternating between green and red with anger from Su Chen. Then, he snorted coldly and strode away.

Without even waiting until tomorrow, in the afternoon, people from the Long River Gang came. They were the two Long River Gang members whom he had met once before.

The two also brought Old Xu with them, but Old Xu's condition was not very good at this time. He seemed to have been beaten up, with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"Master Su, this old guy was talking nonsense and deliberately didn't refund your rent. We taught him a lesson for you. This is the refund of your rent and the compensation, a total of twenty taels. Consider the extra as our respect for you. Please accept it. See when you are free to move out."

What Su Chen didn't expect was that the two weren't here to cause trouble, but to apologize, and they even brought Old Xu with them to apologize.

"Alright, I will move out within two days!" Su Chen accepted the money, left a sentence, and closed the door.

After the three of them left, Su Chen went out and went to a real estate agency to find a house.

In the process of searching, he clearly found that the prices of houses in the same area had dropped, and the number of empty houses had also increased.

After spending an afternoon, Su Chen found a relatively good courtyard house and spent five taels of silver to rent it for half a year.

After signing the contract with the landlord, Su Chen moved into the new house with large and small packages in the evening.

The new house has a good location, with many vendors and shops on the street, but it's quite far from the Martial Hall.

Moving into the new house, Su Chen didn't feel much joy, but rather a sense of fatigue.

He was busy until late at night before he finished washing up and went to bed.

The next day, Su Chen returned the keys to the old house to Old Xu. When he came back, he went to the Martial Hall, but Hong Ming still hadn't returned.

He informed Li Mo about his move, and then Su Chen sneaked back home and began to study the Medical Codex.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

For these three days, Su Chen had been reading books and hardly went out.

The complexity of the knowledge within the Medical Codex exceeded his expectations. Just reading it through would probably take a long time.

Su Chen casually flipped through the notes in the codex and found five or six different handwritings.

This indicated that the codex had been passed down in the Zhu Family for at least five or six generations, and the knowledge and information it contained was naturally abundant and complex.

To truly master it, it would probably take decades.

Su Chen was well aware that it would be a fool's dream to try to achieve the accumulation of several generations with his efforts in a short period.

Therefore, his study was targeted. In addition to basic knowledge, he focused on poisons and content related to Qi and blood.

Fortunately, after his previous studies, he could barely understand it now, and had already taken the first step towards success.

Of course, researching poisons was still too difficult for Su Chen at the moment.

In three days, let alone researching potent poisons, even simple sleeping draughts had failed many times, and this was with references.

However, today he didn't plan to continue studying the codex, but had an unexpected matter to attend to.

Last night, while studying the codex, he inadvertently discovered a hidden layer in one of the pages.

After taking out the paper from the hidden layer, he found it was a prescription. By comparing the medicinal properties of various herbs, Su Chen determined that it was a prescription related to Qi and blood.

When he learned this result, Su Chen was immediately pleasantly surprised.

During this period, in addition to studying poisons, he had focused more on Qi and blood.

He was thinking of finding herbs that could increase Qi and blood by studying the codex.

He didn't expect this nameless prescription to give him a huge surprise.

Therefore, today he planned to go to the Medical Hall to buy the herbs recorded in the prescription, and then test the effect of the prescription to see if it was what he thought.

Early in the morning, Su Chen set off. Because he had already memorized the prescription, Su Chen went to several different Medical Halls to buy the medicine.

During the process of buying medicine, Su Chen also verified what he had learned and found that some Medical Halls were selling inferior products.

Annoyed, Su Chen directly gave up buying medicine from their stores and switched to another one, wandering around and almost visiting all the Medical Halls in the city.

Su Chen still hadn't collected all the herbs.

"Only Red Blood Grass is missing. There's another Medical Hall ahead, but it's relatively remote. I don't know if they have it!"

Su Chen was a little helpless. Red Blood Grass was too hard to find. Many Medical Halls either didn't have it or had sold out.

Soon, Su Chen arrived at that Medical Hall, walked in, and directly asked, "Do you have any Red Blood Grass here?"

The Medical Hall apprentice replied after hearing this, "There's only one stalk left."

"Alright, give it to me!"

No one came to compete with Su Chen for the last stalk of Red Blood Grass.

After Su Chen paid the money, he finally gathered the last ingredient.

Back home, Su Chen began to prepare the prescription according to the proportions, his expression carrying a trace of nervousness, "Hopefully, I can succeed in one go!"
