Chapter 9 Pharmacy

The Chu family's mansion is very large, but the place where Chu Xiu, a bastard who is not valued on weekdays, lives is not that big. It is just an ordinary small courtyard, smaller than the other three brothers.

Combining the memories of the two lives, except for some important things, Chu Xiu was still a little dazed about the rest. When he left the meeting room, he thought for a while before he remembered where he lived.

Pushing open the gate of his courtyard, Gao Bei was waiting inside. When he saw Chu Xiu come back, Gao Bei went up to meet him and said, "My lord, the discussion is over? Do you want to eat, and the villain will prepare it for you?"

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, where is the pharmacy where the family receives the cultivation resources? I haven't received the cultivation resources this year, so I should have accumulated a lot, right?"

Gao Bei moved his mouth, he wanted to say something, but he held back.

Chu Xiu said lightly: "I know what you want to say, do you want to say that I was not qualified to receive it before, and now I go to others, and I may not be willing to give it to others, do I?"

Gao Bei smiled awkwardly, but didn't dare to answer. In fact, Chu Xiu also knew what was going on.

As a concubine, Chu Xiu was not valued since he was a child, and he was not taught by his family elders when it was time to practice. When he had missed the best training period, the Chu family sent a random guard to teach him martial arts.

And every direct bloodline of the Chu family is eligible to receive a set of cultivation resources every month, but these things have never been in Chu Xiu's hands since childhood, and they have been taken away by others. That person is Chu Xiu The eldest son Chu Kai.

Chu Xiu himself didn't dare to go to Chu Zongguang to complain about this kind of thing, and the people in the pharmacy were even less talkative, so he gave Chu Kai the training resources that should be given to Chu Xiu by default.

So now Chu Kai's strength is higher than that of Chu Xiu and others, and there is a lot of credit for the old 'Chu Xiu'.

Chu Xiu looked directly at Gao Bei and said, "Remember, those are the old rules. Now, some rules need to be changed."

Gao Bei was stunned by Chu Xiu's gaze, and he nodded hastily.

"Lead the way."

The Chu family's pharmacy is very lively, and there is a separate area that is within the scope of the pharmacy.

In fact, although the pharmacy is called a pharmacy, it produces two kinds of medicines.

One is Jinchuang medicine, which is sold to Jianghu people. After the pharmacy makes it, it is sold in the Chu family's shop in Tongzhou Prefecture.

There is also a pill that can assist warriors in their cultivation, such as Buqi San and Congealing Blood Pill.

The ingredients of this kind of medicine are very precious, and some materials are not available in Tongzhou Prefecture, so they need to be purchased outside through the caravan, and the failure rate of refining is also very high, so this kind of medicine is basically not sold, only for Chu used by internal staff.

At this moment, Gao Bei brought Chu Xiu to the pharmacy. Some of the servants and stewards of the pharmacy looked at Chu Xiu with strange expressions in their eyes. After all, they had seen the second young master in this place before. What are you doing at the pharmacy today?

Chu Xiu pushed open the door of a room, and there was a pharmacy manager in his forties, dressed in brocade, sitting inside.

There are several stewards in the pharmacy, and the person in front of him is only responsible for distributing cultivation resources to the disciples of the Chu family, not the chief steward.

At this moment, when he saw someone suddenly push the door open, he sat up straight subconsciously, but when he saw that it was Chu Xiu, he immediately leaned back on the chair and asked casually, "So it's the second son?" , I don't know why the second son came to my pharmacy?"

At this time, Gao Bei, who was following Chu Xiu, said with a smile, "Guangshi Zhou, it's like this, the young master is here to collect his training resources for this year."

The steward of Zhou was stunned when he heard the words, and then he sneered and said, "Is the second son making fun of me? Your cultivation resources have always been received by the eldest son. What do you care about me?"

Chu Xiu said indifferently: "Then why did you give my cultivation resources to the eldest son? I returned the words to the father?"

Zhou Guanshi was taken aback when he heard this, who else should speak up in such a matter? Back then when the eldest son took your cultivation resources, you didn't even dare to let go, so of course they wouldn't talk too much.

Now Chu Xiu came to question him, which made Zhou Guan feel that Chu Xiu was here to trouble him, but he never cared about this second son who had never been valued in the family.

Manager Zhou snorted coldly and said, "If the Second Young Master is dissatisfied with the Eldest Young Master taking your cultivation resources, you can go directly to the First Young Master to ask for them. If you want to vent your anger on me, Second Young Master, you may be thinking too much!"

There was a hint of danger in Chu Xiu's eyes, but at this moment, a person suddenly ran in, slapped the steward Zhou to the ground with a slap, and cursed: "Bold! How dare you talk to the second son?" Talking like this, is there any superiority or inferiority?"

That week, the steward covered his face, and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief: "Senior steward, why are you..."

"Shut up! You don't have a place to talk here!"

The chief manager of the pharmacy interrupted him with a stern drink.

The chief manager of the pharmacy was a little fat. He turned to face Chu Xiu, and his face immediately changed from the fierce look just now to an extremely gentle one.

"The people under my command are ignorant, Second Young Master, please forgive me, I keep all your cultivation resources for you in the pharmacy, and there will be no shortage of them, and recently the alchemist has refined a batch of excellent-looking blood coagulation pills , I also gave you a bottle, and I will pack it for you."

As he said that, the chief manager of the pharmacy immediately ordered people to pack the things, handed them to Chu Xiu respectfully, and sent them out the door himself.

Turning around and closing the door, the chief steward looked at the dull-looking steward Zhou who was still covering his face, and sighed: "I slapped that slap just now for your own good, if I don't slap you, you will be out of luck today." .”

There are so many stewards in the pharmacy, and the steward this week is his confidant, so just now, steward Zhou slapped the chief steward without saying a word, which is a bit unbelievable.

Of course, Guanshi Zhou didn't dare to complain now, he just said strangely: "Boss, why are you being so polite to that Chu...Second Young Master?"

In fact, Zhou Guanshi wanted to say that he was humbled, and the appearance of the senior manager just now could be called groveling.

The chief steward shook his head and said: "Remember, from now on, you will be more polite to the second young master, even more polite than the other three young masters. This second young master is not the old second young master."

As he said that, the chief manager told him what happened in the Chu family's meeting hall before.

The chief steward is in charge of the pharmacy, and he can be regarded as one of the real power figures in the Chu family steward. He just stood in the meeting hall and witnessed everything.

Before, Chu Xiu acted so crazy that he almost beat Steward Liu to death in front of everyone. Seeing that kind of posture, he felt chills all over his body.

As for Manager Zhou over there, he was trembling all over after listening to it.

There is also a distinction between stewards and stewards. He belongs to the lowest rank, while Steward Liu, as the chief steward of the Chu family, is the highest rank. He usually bows his head when he sees Steward Liu. of.

As a result, even Steward Liu was almost beaten up on the spot by the second son, and he dared to be so rude to him just now, and Manager Zhou felt that he was just trying to kill him.

Steward Zhou quickly thanked the chief steward and wept, "If it weren't for you, the chief steward, the villain would be in trouble."

The chief steward sighed and said, "Remember, although we are all stewards of the Chu family, servants are always servants, and if we forget our identities, the consequences will be very serious.

Just like the Liuguan family, they forgot their identities, and now they not only have to lose face, but also have to lie in bed for several months. "

On the way back to his courtyard, Gao Bei couldn't help but said to Chu Xiu: "My lord, you are really majestic just now, even the chief manager of the pharmacy is so polite."

"Be polite?" Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "That's not being polite, that's being in awe. Good and evil are both sides. If you can't be kind enough to make everyone respect you, then you can only be evil enough to make everyone afraid of you. "

Gao Bei shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't understand."

Chu Xiu pushed open the gate of the courtyard: "Of course you don't understand. If you understood, you wouldn't have been around for so many years without even getting a manager."

Looking at the slightly empty courtyard, Chu Xiu said to Gao Bei, "Find some wooden stakes and put them in the courtyard."

"What do you want the stake for, my lord?"

There was a gleam in Chu Xiu's eyes and he said, "Practice the sword!"

If you want to advance in martial arts all the way, you need nothing more than talent, perseverance, opportunity, and understanding, regardless of the front and back, but if you want to reach the peak, you cannot do without one.

For the current Chu Xiu, his talent can only be said to be the appearance of a man, and his understanding is temporarily unknown. As for chance, Chu Xiu knows a lot, but he has no strength, and he can't grab it.

So now Chu Xiu can only work hard on perseverance.

Gao Bei went to prepare the wooden stakes, saw that it was getting dark, and asked someone to deliver dinner by the way.

Although this high-level ability is average, he can be regarded as conscientious and careful in doing things.

Back in his room, Chu Xiu took out all the elixirs he received from the pharmacy. Among them, Buqi powder was two packs a month, and it should be twenty-four packs a year, but the chief manager of the pharmacy gave him 30 packs. .

There are also Congealing Blood Pills, three pills a year, but there are ten pills in Chu Xiu's bottle, and they are all of the highest quality.

The preparation of this qi-tonifying powder is relatively simple, just grind some herbs into powder according to a certain ratio and mix them together. Can't buy it.

As for the Congealing Blood Pill, as the name suggests, it is used to help warriors condense the blood in the body and attack the blood coagulation state. It needs a special alchemist to refine it. The process is complicated and there is a chance of failure. Even the Chu family only dares to refine it every month. Make a furnace.

He took out a pack of Buqi powder, mixed it with water and swallowed it. After a while, Chu Xiu felt a heat rising from his body, and he quickly started to practice the innate skills to refine the power of the medicine.
