Chen Ye After listening to what the two said, his eyes widened immediately. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "It turns out there are so many ways here. If it hadn't been for the guidance of the two brothers, I'm afraid I would have taken a lot of detours."
"It's not a big secret. If you stay at the Cui Family for a long time, you will figure it out sooner or later." Zuo Dongxi waved his hand and said calmly.
Chen Ye raised his glass and said with a smile, "Drink one."
Several people raised their glasses and drank.
Chen Ye put down the wine glass and took a bite of the meat jerky fed by the girl next to him. There was still a salty fragrance on his lips and teeth, and he said, "Brother Zuo, Brother Su, do you have any reliable way to buy medicine? I want to start tomorrow and let Blood Qi be full first."
"Want to buy Tendon-Changing Bone-Forging Decoction and Golden Soup Jade Liquid?"
"Exactly."
"There is a place I can recommend." Zuo Dongxi pondered for a while and said, "But when the stuff soaks up, your whole body will hurt as if you are going to die. You have to carry it hard, so you have to be mentally prepared."
"Speaking of which, there used to be an old guy in the gang. When he was young, he drank Golden Soup Jade Liquid for half a year and swallowed Tendon-Changing Bone-Forging Decoction. In the end, he was still stuck in the realm of Mortal Shedding three times and suffered a big loss."
"What's the loss?" Chen Ye asked.
"I have been poor all my life." Zuo Dongxi grinned, with a look of someone who had come before, and said with emotion, "There are four or two of those things. He drinks them every day, eats them every day, and eats them for several months, wiping out his entire family."
"If you are poor in literature and rich in martial arts, and have no financial resources, you really can't afford to practice martial arts."
"Forget it, don't talk about this anymore, let's drink!"
Several people raised their glasses again and drank several glasses of wine.
After Zuo Dongxi got drunk, he pulled Bitao behind a screen in the private room.
Soon, the melancholy sound floated out from behind the screen.
Su Guang and the other two girls seem to have become accustomed to it, and they just treat it as entertainment at the banquet.
Chen Ye couldn't help but feel speechless in his heart, amazed by the Great Jing Kingdom's openness.
After struggling for almost a cup of tea, the two men came out from behind the screen in disheveled clothes.
Little Bitao's cheeks are flushed, like a ripe apple, very attractive.
Zuo Dongxi seemed to have been relieved of some heavy burden and felt refreshed.
Chen Ye remembered that Zuo Dongxi was still single and had not married again, so he asked curiously, "Brother Zuo, why don't you marry into another family so that you can expand the branches of the Zuo family?"
"My wife is still alive, why should I marry again?"
Chen Ye was stunned.
He remembered Zuo Dongxi's ex-wife, wasn't she taken in as a concubine by Master Feng Family?
However, from the look of Zuo Dongxi, it didn't look like what he was talking about while drinking.
Zuo Dongxi raised his head and downed a bowl of wine, slammed the glass on the table, drunkenly, and said with a stern expression, "Sooner or later, I will get back what I lost."
"Tonight, I won't come home until I'm drunk!"
The three of them continued the quarrel until dawn, and it was not until Bitao and the others couldn't hold it any longer that they gave up.
That night, the three of them spent a total of thirteen taels of silver, which was equivalent to half a year's wages of a long-term worker.
Looking at it this way, most people really can't afford a place like Goulan.
The three of them are all Martial Master, full of energy, and they are still in high spirits even after a long night of hard work.
Chen Ye is taking a rest today. Zuo Dongxi and Su Guang simply take him to buy Tendon-Changing Bone-Forging Decoction and Golden Soup Jade Liquid to support him and prevent him from being deceived.
Zuo Dongxi has been in the market for many years and is very familiar with these methods.
He led Chen Ye straight into an inconspicuous medicinal shop.
As soon as he entered the door, the owner of the drug store recognized Zuo Dongxi, quickly raised his hand and said with a smile, "Leader Zuo, what kind of wind has brought you here today? One of the brothers in the gang was injured and needs medicine for bruises. I just bought a batch of good White Medicine."
"I won't buy any medicine for bruises this time. I want Tendon-Changing Bone-Forging Decoction and Golden Soup Jade Liquid. Do you have any here?"
The drug store owner glanced at the two people behind Zuo Dongxi, nodded and said, "It's natural to have it. Let's see how many Gang Leader Zuo needs?"
Chen Ye heard from Zuo Dongxi on the road that this shop has some background and does things fairly. As long as you pay, you will never ask around.
He stepped forward and said, "Let's take ten pairs of each first."
"That is, Tendon-Changing Bone-Forging Decoction and Golden Soup Jade Liquid, twenty pairs in total." The shopkeeper took out the account book and made a note. "I don't have so many ready-made ones in the store, so it will take some time to prepare them."
Chen Ye nodded and said, "How much does it cost?"
The shopkeeper dialed the abacus a few times and reported the number, "One hundred and five taels, add a fraction, and I'll charge you one hundred taels."
Zuo Dongxi snorted coldly, stretched out a hand, turned it over, then turned it over again. "The price is seventy taels, will you sell it?"
"Seventy taels? Leader Zuo, you are killing me." The drug store owner looked like he was in pain. Seeing Zuo Dongxi's firm attitude, he slapped the table for a while and sighed, "That's all, for the sake of Gang Leader Zuo, seventy taels is just seventy taels. Next time you buy medicine for the gang, you must buy it from me."
"If you decide, please pay a deposit of ten taels and come back tomorrow to pick it up."
Chen Ye had long expected that tonight would be a gold sales den, so he brought some money with him when he went out, which came in handy.
He paid the deposit, took the receipt, and the three of them walked out of the drug store.
Zuo Dongxi said, "This time it's time to have fun and do all the things that need to be done. Let's meet again in ten days."
"Okay."
Su Guang and Chen Ye nodded and made an appointment for the time and place of the next gathering.
Before leaving, Su Guang reminded Chen Ye that his horse was still with him, so that he could practice more equestrian skills when he had time.
Chen Ye also feels that his legs and feet are inconvenient and he really needs to learn how to ride a horse.
So he agreed.
Arrived the next day.
Chen Ye was sent by Cheng Defu to do some heavy work in Cui Xijun's courtyard.
Taking advantage of his free time at noon, he took his silver and ran to the drug store again and got back two large packages of medicine.
Ten of the medicines had red paper on them.
The drug store owner warned, "The red label here is Tendon-Changing Bone-Forging Decoction, which is for oral administration; Golden Soup Jade Liquid is for brewing, don't get confused. Remember to brew the medicine at that time and take the medicine at that time."
Chen Ye wrote it down, remembered something, and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have that kind of panacea that can extend life?"
"Miraculous medicine?" The medicine shop owner shook his head and said with a smile, "Do you think this place is some kind of fairy land? There is no such good thing."
Chen Ye was unwilling to give in and continued to ask, "Does the shopkeeper know where in the world it is?"
"There must be some in the imperial palace, and maybe some second-grade high-ranking sects. Anyway, don't even think about private shops like ours."
Chen Ye understood, no more questions, turned around and replied to the Cui Mansion.
There is a special medicine hall in the Cui Mansion where you can decoct medicine and take medicinal baths.
That night, after all Cui Family's children had used up, Chen Ye prepared Tendon-Changing Bone-Forging Decoction and Golden Soup Jade Liquid respectively.
He took off his shirt, raised his head and swallowed Tendon-Changing Bone-Forging Decoction. Then without hesitation, he jumped into the bucket and sank into the dark medicinal soup.
The first few breaths were just stuffy.
But soon, the heat turned into hotness, and the hotness turned into burning.
The skin felt like someone was grinding it inch by inch with coarse sandpaper. The medicine penetrated into the flesh and blood through the pores, exploded in the flesh and blood, and climbed up along the meridians.
Chen Ye felt as if he had been immersed in a ball of fire. Every inch of skin and flesh on his body was burning and torn. The pain made him take a breath.
He felt that all the meridians, flesh and blood in his body were being dissolved by the power of Tendon-Changing Bone-Forging Decoction, and then repaired by the power of Golden Soup Jade Liquid.
The alternating effects of the two drugs made him miserable.
At this moment, six Radiance particles burst out of his flesh and blood.
The severe pain all subsided in an instant, and he felt unprecedentedly comfortable.
The flesh and blood on the body that had been torn by the medicine healed quickly under the infiltration of True Yang energy, and the healed muscles and bones were stronger and denser than before.
Chen Ye couldn't help but marveled.
Soon, the medicinal power of Golden Soup Jade Liquid was quickly absorbed by the six pills of True Yang, turning into a warm current, which then slowly flowed to the limbs and bones along the path of Return to Origin Art.
Chen Ye lowered his head and looked at the bathtub. The dark medicinal soup turned into dark brown, and then became clear to the naked eye, like a cup of strong tea being continuously diluted with water.
It's because all the medicinal power inside has been sucked out.
After ordinary people soak Golden Soup Jade Liquid, the medicinal soup will still be dark brown, and the medicinal power will be absorbed by up to 30 to 40%.
His True Yang Body was like a wrung sponge, quickly squeezing out every ounce of medicinal power inside.
Chen Ye estimated that the essence absorbed this time was more than the old ginseng and White Medicine he had swallowed before combined, giving his body the satisfaction it had not seen for a long time.
It didn't take long for the medicine to completely wear off.
Chen Ye stood up from the bucket, looked down at his arms, and when he made a fist, he could feel that the tenacity of his phalanges was stronger than before.
Although he has not yet reached his physical limit, there is no doubt that he has taken a big step forward.
He had a hunch that if he took the medicine a few more times, he should be able to reach the threshold of the fourth Mortal Shedding.
This time Mortal Shedding will definitely be very exciting.
