Chapter 1940 Refining Zengyuan Pill
Originally, Li Cong arranged that he would have a good rest on the day he arrived in the capital, and he would go to Prince Hagen to have a good discussion the next day. Now Prince Hagen is very clear about how big he is. He is not Li Cong's opponent at all. If he continues to confront Li Cong, this guy will not have good results, so Prince Hagen must quickly sell his land to Li Cong now. This is the price they want to talk about. Li Cong will definitely try to lower the price, but Prince Hagen's money is all from major banks. If the pressure is too hard, Prince Hagen is probably going to go out to beg for food.
Plans will always be interrupted, especially in front of some capable people, just like Li Cong at the moment, just arrived at the mansion and before he had a sip of hot water, Lao Cai, Wu Zuoxi's manager over there, Here it is, it's like burning your butt. Li Cong has met Lao Cai a few times and knows that this person is not such a fool. Since he chased him directly to the mansion, it seems that he really has something very important to do. Done.
"Lao Cai, what's the matter with your master? Why are you in such a hurry? I don't owe him any money. This is a debt collector, so he should ask him to rest, right?" Li Cong began to complain on the way.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Cao. This matter should be very important to our master. I have been with our master for a long time, but I have never seen our master do things like that." Although Lao Cai Some things have been guessed, but this guy's tone is very accurate. If Wu Zuoxi didn't say some things, he would definitely not say it. Li Cong didn't get any good news even if he inquired.
On the way, Li Cong also knew that it was impossible to get anything from this cunning old fox, so he simply didn't say anything, and continued to spy on other people's news, which might arouse people's resentment in the end. It's better to just close your eyes and rest your mind honestly, Lao Cai is also relieved in his heart, no matter what he says. This is all about offending people. To be honest, it’s hard to explain to my master. If I don’t say anything, I don’t know how to get past this place. The best situation is the current situation. People don’t ask Myself, I don't need to talk.
There is still some distance between Wu's residence and Li Cong's residence, and Wu Zuoxi is the prime minister of the capital. This Li Cong has such a title of earl, and there is nothing left. Li Cong is not qualified to buy prescriptions in the inner city, and the prescriptions in the inner city are all radishes and pits. There is no possibility that there will be vacancies here, and even if there are, they will be bought immediately. Yes, Wu Zuoxi lives here because the emperor rewarded him, and the place where he lives is generally not lived here in order not to be frowning, because this is the ancestral home of the Tuoba family, Wu Zuoxi He uprooted the Tuoba family with one hand, and it's okay for the emperor to give this place to Wu Zuoxi. Wu Zuoxi didn't have anything to shy away from this, so he naturally lived happily. The area occupied by the inner city is absolutely huge. If it wasn't for the reason of passing over, he would definitely make this place bigger than the palace. What's even more powerful is that the Tuoba family was also a foreign surname back then, even if they became princes, they couldn't have a bigger territory than the prince of the court.
"Lao Cai, I have come to this courtyard of your house twice. But once I came, it looked the same.
Do you think your master puts his energy into it every day? Some time ago, I bought a lot of large pieces of good wood from my trading house. I asked them to send you some. I don’t know yet. What kind of construction is going on in your mansion? "Li Cong walked in and said, the yard has been renovated again.
"Hehe. That's fine. I'll thank Mr. Cao on behalf of our master. Our master is very passionate about this matter." Lao Cai said as he led the way.
After entering the inner courtyard, Li Cong saw Wu Zuoxi, who was dressed in white, feeding the fish there.
"Master Wu is really very elegant. I thought that Master Wu would be busy with some affairs of the empire every day, but I didn't expect that he would be lazy here, and no one would believe it when he said it." Li Cong said with a smile. After all, Wu Zuoxi helped him, and he was older than himself. Li Cong wanted to treat this person as his friend, but he still couldn't let go.
"Hehe, it's rare for me to have a good rest for half a day, and I told you to see it. To be honest, there are indeed a lot of government affairs in this empire, but it's not that the imperial government can't work without me. Except for me, this There are still many people in the empire who are working in their own positions, and I can only be regarded as one of them. I heard that Mr. Cao has arrived in the capital, so I hurriedly called you to use my own half-day Time, let me have a good taste of your Du Kang, how can you relieve your worries, only Du Kang, haha, what a good sentence." Wu Zuoxi said, Wu Zuoxi is very capable in the literary world, if this guy praises him, some Literati can be happy for several days, but Li Cong is different from those guys, so there is no need for Wu Zuoxi's praise.
"Haha, Master Wu's words are still wrong. Du Kang can only relieve his worries for a while. If there is something really wrong, it's better to just say it. What's the relationship between us? It doesn't need to be like this, as long as I can do it I will definitely give an explanation to Mr. Wu." Li Cong said with a smile, in fact, he could have already guessed why Wu Zuoxi asked himself to drink when he was free, because they are all people who have something to do.
"You, you always speak so directly. My old man has something to ask of you, but you have to be more reserved. Let's go to the house. I'm ready. I don't have anyone to accompany me. Just us Two people, drink some wine and talk about something." Wu Zuoxi pointed to the living room and said, then turned to Lao Cai and said, "Lao Cai, get rid of everyone around, whoever dares to approach, kill." Wu Zuoxi said, Li Cong I was also a little surprised. What kind of thing could make Wu Zuoxi like this? Did something extraordinary happen? Impossible is that I have been paying attention to things in the capital recently.
Li Cong followed Wu Zuoxi into the house with doubts in his head. The inside was even more magnificent. Wu Zuoxi seemed to have spent his time on it in the past. In fact, he can't be blamed for it. Wu Zuoxi's sons-in-law are not talented, and there is no need to waste anything on them. Sometimes Wu Zuoxi is very envious of some big families in the capital. There are more than a dozen sons in the family. Either today this son got into trouble with a fight, or tomorrow that grandson will give that girl to that family. When there is no rest for a day, it is not to mention how fun it is one by one, but that is all family affairs. I don't have so many things to do, and I can only make my home look better. Be more comfortable, in the eyes of outsiders, I don't have any ambitions, I mainly show it to the one on the throne.
The things on the table are not expensive. Li Cong can tell from these dishes that Wu Zuoxi is still a person who pays great attention to health preservation. It seems that even if he has no heirs, Wu Zuoxi doesn't want to pass away so soon. If he can live longer, he will live longer, he doesn't want to leave so soon. You can live without a son, right? Isn't there hope?
After three glasses of wine, Wu Zuoxi's face started to turn red. This VIP Dukang is similar to the 52-degree white wine on the earth. For some people, it is really drunk. Be brave, this sentence is not false at all. Now Wu Zuoxi is afraid to say something in the past. Now I dare to speak out, even if the wall has ears, I have to speak out, otherwise I will definitely be suffocated to death by myself.
"Master Cao, do you know what is the biggest regret in my life? How can I make so much money in this seat?" Wu Zuoxi said after drinking a glass, his face was pale.
Li Cong glanced at Wu Zuoxi, this drinking capacity should be considered acceptable, and Wu Zuoxi's ability to drink two catties should not be like this. But now that he is like this, then something really happened. Li Cong knew about Wu Zuoxi a long time ago. Isn't it just because this guy has no sons? In fact, it's the same, we don't do such things.
"Hehe. In fact, there is nothing unspeakable about this. I have no son, and I, Wu Zuoxi, have no son. This matter has troubled me for many years. I remember when I was a young man, I had my first son at that time. I was very happy when I had a daughter, after all, it was my first child, and I was very happy in my heart. Later, I had a second child, and I was still very happy at that time, until I had four. I was very happy when I had a daughter. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl, it’s just my child. But later, when I started to grow older, I didn’t have any new children. At that time I just realized that I am already past the age to have children. Hehe, it might be embarrassing for an old man to say these things here, but I have kept these words in my heart for a long time. If this If I can't solve this problem, I may spend my whole life in this shadow, and I will definitely not come out when I go through this life." Wu Zuoxi said sadly, indeed, such a thing on earth There are also many, although many people say that men and women are the same, but why do many people stop having children after having boys, but those who have girls still want children.
Li Cong looked at Wu Zuoxi in confusion, how could he think of telling himself this, is it possible that he has the ability to let this guy give birth to a son? On the RTY planet, there is a race of girls who can do this. Her first child will definitely be a son, and because of this, their life is very miserable. Could it be that Wu Zuoxi knew that he came from another race? Someone from the planet? He wants to help him get a girl like that? This is impossible, it is very lucky for me to come here, the current teleportation array can only be used for dead things, and all living things cannot pass.
"Hehe, brother, I don't mean anything else, don't think about it, I don't know what you're thinking, I think you can help me with this, I hope you can help me make alchemy, no, I want you My master helped me make alchemy, Zengyuan Dan, I don’t know if you know this thing?” Wu Zuoxi saw Li Cong’s eyeballs wandering around and knew that he might be talking about another matter. He will definitely use his tricks to hear where he is going, but now he doesn't have that time, and now he has to solve his own affairs quickly, his own time is running out, and the time for alchemy is not enough. stable. It takes time for Li Cong to find his master, and it's one thing whether his master gives face or not. I really don't have much time after going back and forth, and I can't afford to waste it.
Zengyuan Dan? If Li Cong was a pharmacist who came up step by step, he would definitely know what this thing is for, but Li Cong is not such a person, Li Cong is a person who takes a shortcut. He has taken a path that others have not taken, and has achieved what he is today. It can be said that Li Cong didn't know anything about this pill, but it didn't matter. After all, everyone outside knew that Li Cong's master was a pharmacist, and he himself was not a pharmacist. Seeing Li Cong's reaction like this would not have any pressure reduction. After all, Li Cong is just an ordinary magician, not a pharmacist, and things like Zengyuan Pill are absolutely unnecessary for Li Cong. That's what old people like Wu Zuoxi need. It would be bad for young people to use that thing.
"Master Wu, although my master is a pharmacist, he will often ask me to learn some things in this area. You also know that this pharmacist is not something that people can learn if they want to. To be honest, I don't understand anything. What is this Zengyuan Pill?" Li Cong said with a smile, that look was a bit silly, but that's what made people feel that this was a real person, otherwise , they all thought that Li Cong was a genius who knew everything, and Wu Zuoxi also found a little bit of a show off. I don't have the mood to show off to ordinary people, but I am willing to show off to Li Cong.
"Hehe, it's normal that my brother doesn't know. It can be said that I didn't know about this thing a month ago, but now I can tell you that this thing is specially for people like me. I don't have it anymore. The ability to bear children. This thing is the elixir that allows me to have that ability, it is a third-grade elixir, I wonder if your master can...?" Wu Zuoxi said anxiously, there is no way, I have not had it for so many years What good news, if this last news gives me another bad news, I will really collapse. Li Cong knew what was going on by looking at his praying eyes.
"Master Wu, the matter you mentioned should be no problem for my master, but the problem now is that I have to give these materials to my master. Although he loves me very much, you also know that he I don't want me to help him make decisions, out of respect, I have to ask him what the old man thinks, it will take time, and it can't be done immediately." Li Cong raised his hands and said, this Wu Zuoxi This is going to be crazy, I can't accompany this guy into an irrational state, I have to quickly wake this guy up.
"Yes, I am also clear about this matter. In fact, I didn't expect you to agree to me immediately, brother. As long as you take this matter to heart, it is fine. I have prepared five medicinal materials here. If it is not enough, I will go immediately Preparation, to tell you the truth, this money is all I have, and I can get it if I continue to prepare, but it’s a bit difficult. I can’t get the thank you money for your master, I don’t know How much money Zhang Laolian can get from your Cao's bank account, if possible, how about it as my alchemy fee?" Wu Zuoxi has already said everything today anyway, so he doesn't care about saying more Now, he really has nothing left. It is really difficult to buy these five medicines without his sons-in-law not finding out. the same.
"Hehe, Mr. Wu, what you have done is really beautiful, but I can't refuse you, anyway, I will take this matter as a very important matter, so you can rest assured, my master I will do it, I think it may take longer in terms of time, thank you, you can just keep it in your heart, let me ask one more question, if you think I am talkative, just don’t answer me, is it you Are these son-in-laws putting you under a lot of pressure?" Li Cong said, Wu Zuoxi smiled wryly after hearing this, and after he regarded these son-in-laws as his own in the past, he also promoted them for a while, but Now, my biggest enemy is precisely theirs. If I really have a son, their status will definitely plummet, and one by one will definitely hinder me. They can do anything.
"Actually, my daughter and my future son should be the closest people, but fate has arranged them to be enemies now. If I don't have a son, my daughters and son-in-law will definitely have a hard time. They are very good. With my care, they can live comfortably for a lifetime, but if I have a son, it will not be the same result. They will definitely do everything possible to deal with my son in private, my son It's just a child. How could he have the ability to confront these people, so I have to take the trouble to weed them out one by one. They look okay on the outside, but I can confidently say that none of them are opponents if you play with your mind." Wu Zuoxi said conceitedly, Li Cong would absolutely believe in such a case, without this guy, it is estimated that the Tuoba family would not be finished. so fast. A Tuoba clan was finished so quickly, not to mention his own sons-in-law, they were not on the same level at all, and Lao Wu could do whatever he wanted.
"Master Wu is too worried. The ladies will definitely love their younger brother very much. Recently, a group of people came from my place. They haven't shown their faces here. It's very good. If If Mr. Wu needs it, I can help, and we will build a villa area outside the city, and I will leave a good one for Mr. Wu." Li Cong said, sending the Buddha to the west, such a thing Li Cong is very good at it. This Wu Zuoxi is one of the best figures in the Western Empire. Although he will be suspected by the emperor if he has a son in the future, it will be a year or two later. No matter what he says now, it will be beneficial to him.
Although Li Cong didn't know about the Zengyuan Pill, he was sure that the third-grade pill was nothing to him, and those pills were difficult and difficult, but they were not as exciting as the pharmacist said. Most of them are fabricated by themselves, and it is enough to let the people who ask them for help bleed. Anyway, there are so few alchemists in this world, they will not tear each other down, but will unite with each other. I understand that they are united and this is a huge force in the world. It is impossible for others to move them, so this matter began to spread on a large scale.
"Brother Cao, we will be brothers in the future. If you have anything to do, just come to me directly, and I will take care of it for you." Wu Zuoxi said with a smile. Li Cong's attitude made him enjoy it very much. Flattering people like Li Cong is a kind of enjoyment in itself, and what's even better is that he didn't make himself pay too much when he was still begging others. Of course, Wu Zuoxi is not a fool, he knows that he will definitely give in the future There are many, but now it seems that those are not important. The important thing is the problem of his son. Li Cong wanted to laugh just now. What this guy said is true. As long as you can have a child, how can you be sure that the unborn child is a boy, and you still have one son at a time. This is really thinking about your son's illness.
"This is natural, Mr. Wu, I have to go back now, you can't delay this matter for too long, my master is now in the Northern Empire, it may take a month or two to go back and forth, I will give this to you as soon as possible." Li Cong looked at the sky and said, two hours passed without knowing it, things like alchemy are very simple for him, let alone a third-level Dan medicine, but I have to make Wu Zuoxi feel it. I really treat his affairs as the first thing to do, which can make Wu Zuoxi feel that I owe myself a lot.
"Mr. Cao, stop. This is the end of your helping me. I still have something to say to Mr. Cao. This Dukang is indeed a very good wine, but I think Dukang will have follow-up high-end varieties. Right?" Wu Zuoxi said while holding the bottle of Dukang wine on the table, he has to give Li Cong a favor now, otherwise his heart would be very uncomfortable.
"Of course, the first two series came out to ask for directions, and the latter ones will definitely get better and better, more and more high-end." Li Cong said, he didn't understand why Wu Zuoxi asked this question, should he follow now? Are you doing business yourself? No, even if you have a son and the emperor doesn't trust him, it will be a matter of next year. It's too early to start looking for a job if it's not worth it.
"That's good, it's the twentieth of this month. His Majesty the Emperor will come together with all the famous sommeliers in the world to set a year's imperial wine and royal wine. This matter is also under my control, although I dare not promise you Du Kang can be selected, but what I can guarantee is that you will receive fair treatment throughout the whole process." Wu Zuoxi said with a smile, this is already a big promise, after all, if it is really done from a starting line, other Liquor is simply impossible to be Du Kang's opponent. By doing this, Li Cong has basically obtained these two qualifications, and Wu Zuoxi's favor is really not small.
"Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your promotion." At this time, it is superfluous to say anything else. After Li Cong gave Wu Zuoxi his luggage, he went out. Both of them got what they wanted from each other. Although they came together for their own interests, Li Cong and Wu Zuoxi still felt that the other party and others valued their interests. Such people are different, and such people hope to become lifelong partners, even brothers.
"Go back and prepare more. This time, the entire empire's brewing family will participate. Their strength is also very amazing. Don't think you have a backer. There is no one who can achieve this level of business in the empire. The lamp." After Li Cong walked out of the room, he heard Wu Zuoxi's words in the room, and there was a hint of joy in this guy's words.
After leaving Wu Zuoxi's mansion, Li Cong knew why this old boy wanted to find him so quickly. Indeed, such a thing is only available to me at the moment. Not to mention anything else, just saying that the name alchemist is already a lot of trouble. The people who are scared are the shit out of it. They all didn't understand how scary a pharmacist is. Wu Zuoxi found the right person, and he could really solve the old guy's problem. If it was someone else, they still don't know what to do. If it weren't for the fact that he has been too much in the limelight recently, Li Cong actually had a lot of demands.
Wu Zuoxi waited until Li Cong went out. The red tide on his face just now is gone. He used a secret method to pretend to be drunk. Only in this way will others believe him. This trick is now a thing of the past. I have lost a lot of people, and this Master Cao seems to be very shrewd, why did he lose so much in a daze? Li Cong didn't notice his drunkenness, which can be regarded as the acting skills of an international superstar. Such people are not the most in this world now.
When Li Cong left, the sons-in-law of Wu Zuoxi arrived at the mansion. They all thought well, but they got the news that Li Cong had arrived, and each of them was thinking about what Li Cong would do. What kind of good things did my old father-in-law bring, everyone was thinking about what they should come to get something, who knew that they came so fast that there were none left.
"Father-in-law, what exactly does Cao Ke mean? He must be begging you for something. It has been spread all over the outside world. This Cao Ke came to Beijing to do things for Cao's business. Good guy, The Cao family is like a money-scattering boy, one by one, they start issuing bank notes when they see people, and they don’t know what they are thinking." The boss said tentatively.
"Hehe, what my brother-in-law said is true. The merchants in the capital are all waiting to cooperate with Cao Ke and the others. The growth rate of Cao's firm is changing every day. There are so many merchants in our empire. , there are only a few who can do business in the capital, but they all have their eyes on this Cao Ke, such a thing was really rare in the past." The second child also echoed, in fact, they now hope that the old man can Follow up with the last sentence, if the old man said that, they would understand what was going on, and they could understand what the old man was thinking in one sentence.
But now the old man's attitude is changed, he didn't speak at all, he seemed to be thinking about something, and everyone didn't know how to say it. Isn't this here to blackmail Li Cong?
"Father-in-law?" The boss called out quietly, is this old man going to eat alone now? Don't give anything from others? People want to eat it by themselves and don't give them anything?
"Don't you guys not learn all day long, what kind of good things, how come I haven't seen the names of you guys, but you guys run very fast for things like this, I'm telling you, outside What about other people, it has nothing to do with us, if you dare to get involved in the matter of Cao's House. Don't blame me for not giving you face. I'm tired today, so go back." What's going on? We didn't say anything, are we going to send him away? What else did they want to say one by one, and Lao Cai came in to see off the guests. They knew Lao Cai's skills, and the eighth-level fighter was a very high existence for them. If Lao Cai wanted to deal with them, it would be as simple as trampling an ant to death. So although each of them wanted to say something, but looking at Lao Cai's unhappy face, let's go.
Several uncles from the Wu family came out of the gate of the Wu family, and immediately they were different from what they were just now. Just now, they cooperated with each other, but now they all seem to be strangers, everyone knows Their father-in-law is only a few years old, no matter where they develop, they will definitely have no future in the future. What they have to do now is to work hard for the money. No matter what they do when their father-in-law dies in the future, this money will never be fake in their own hands. At that time, they can also do a good life. But what they don't know is that now that Wu Zuoxi is alive, their safety is guaranteed until Wu Zuoxi dies. The silver in their hands is the source of their troubles, and each of them simply does not have the ability to protect so much silver, and it will definitely be cheaper for others.
"Brother-in-law, do you want to go home or go to the newly married wife's house? Our brothers will also go and see? Or else I will ask the old man to go and have a look together later?" Old Sanyi He said with a wicked smile, Wu Zuoxi's eldest son-in-law has been hiding in a golden house outside the city recently, half of the people in the capital know about this. They wouldn't be them if they didn't talk about it.
"Hmph, third child, don't think that what you do is so secretive. Last month, a pair of girls also entered your other courtyard. Everyone knows about this. If you want to live a good life Don't talk so much, we all know who we are. If you don't even figure out this, don't think about the old man's stuff. What good will it do you if the old man knows about me? The old man will definitely I will check you carefully, we looked at the old man's things, and we didn't respect his daughter in the back, anyone would be angry if it changed, don't look at the old man now, but if the old man wants to deal with us, he still has to look up Things that can be done by raising your hand, don't say anything else, just say that Lao Cai just now, alone is enough to handle the few of us." The boss threw down a few words and got into his carriage. It's because he's too brave, damn it, I have a lot of clues about this guy, he thinks he can threaten me if he finds out something, it's too much.
"What are you dragging? I really thought I was the boss. Damn, if it wasn't for losing face, I have to make you look good today." The third child scolded after watching the boss's carriage leave, and the other two just laughed. Smiled, you two, the boss and the third brother, had better not hold back, it would be better to fight, anyway, the two of us have nothing to do with this, it is best for the old man to tell you both to leave in a fit of anger, this is For the best yet.
After returning to his mansion, Li Cong began to study this Zengyuan Pill. To be honest, such a third-grade elixir is not difficult for Li Cong now, but Li Cong will not start refining it just because Wu Zuoxi is alone. Medicines, such as Zengyuan Pill, Xiaohuan Pill, Mingmu Pill, etc. belong to the third-level elixir. Since you want to refine medicine, you have to refine a batch of these at once. I have been preparing for a while, and I still have to refine a batch. Li Cong will not just take out his pills and sell them now. There is no point in exchanging these pills for money, and he is not short of anything. For money, what I lack is some contacts or something. From now on, these things will be my best weapon, and I can rely on these things to spread my contacts in the capital.
In the past, Wu Zuoxi really underestimated this guy. Zengyuan Dan’s medicinal materials are very regular. Even if Li Cong uses his current skills to get them, he may not be able to get them all. It’s really impossible. Thinking that Wu Zuoxi not only got it, but also has five shares, it seems that if he needs any medicinal materials in the future, he must cooperate with Wu Zuoxi. After finishing this Zengyuan Pill, Wu Zuoxi will help him do a lot of things in the future.
Li Cong hasn't made alchemy for a long time, and he has to do a good job in the preparation work. First of all, this medicine cauldron, this thing Li Cong will not just go to the market to buy one casually like before. Those things are nothing to Li Cong, and now they need to be used well. In the past, Li Cong always believed that the proportion of good or bad medicine cauldrons was very small, and the important thing was This technology of his own is actually the same, but later Li Cong used a good medicine tripod and suddenly found that this good thing is indeed much better than the bad one, and this trillion is definitely very good.
The second is the preparation of medicines. Li Cong is going to retreat for 15 days to practice alchemy every day. Now that he has the power supply of the five-clawed golden dragon, it can be said that he is inexhaustible. This kind of ability is still not available to others. If the other pharmacists knew about it, they would probably spurt blood with anger, but Li Cong has never seen other pharmacists. There are a lot of medicinal materials to be prepared. On the first day, Li Cong came to practice with some low-level pills as usual, and then slowly started to work on some high-level pills. This step-by-step work is very efficient. .
Your own trading house can prepare some things for Li Cong, but more often Li Cong still needs to buy medicinal materials from others. After all, your own trading house is not only for the sale of medicinal materials, many medicinal materials are here. No, this firm that specializes in medicinal materials will definitely be much better than here, but the price is also astonishingly high, at least the price from here is at least twice as high as that purchased from the Warcraft Mountains area, there is no way , the distance is too far.
