Chapter 112
Changsun Youxi was nestled in the warm little quilt and looked up curiously and asked Liang Gongzheng, "Uncle Liang, do you have any ghosts in Youxi's heart today?"
Liang Gongzheng nodded with certainty, "Yes!"
Changsun Youxi immediately jumped out of the quilt, and became even more curious, "Hey, what am I today?"
Liang Gongzheng was very calm. He stuffed Yuxi back into the quilt with one finger and scraped her little nose, "What else can it be? A lazy cat who just wants to sleep after eating."
As soon as he finished speaking, Changsun Youxi fell asleep in a daze.
-------------------
On the third day after Chen Guanshui arrived at Xiaoyao City, a Danfang called "Bingxin Pavilion" was quietly added to the market in Liuer Xingyun City.
This elixir shop specializes in the refining of various spiritual pills and also sells various refined pills in small quantities. If you want to refine pills, you must prepare the medicinal materials listed in the catalogue one by one according to the spiritual pills given by the shop owner. However, the types and quantities of these medicinal materials must be very different from the formula of the elixir requested by the customer, or even completely different.
After all, the most valuable thing about a spiritual pill is not itself, but the alchemy technique and pill recipe for refining this spiritual pill. When each alchemist refining pills, he always makes some minor changes to the pill recipe based on his or her alchemy choice and cultivation level. Some are for the purpose of cooperating with the alchemy furnace and pill fire in his or her hand, some are caused by the medicinal properties changes according to different regions, and some are simply an attempt in the alchemy. Because of this, every alchemist will pay attention to the details and not lose anything related to the pill recipe.
However, the elixirs sold by the shop owner in the store are authentic and top-quality. Although it can be seen that the elixir master's cultivation is not very high and there are not many types of elixirs that can be refined, it can still be seen that the elixir master has, which is extremely profound. In the main hall of the Danfang, a central hall of "Seven People Dividing Deer", which directly reveals the identity of the Li family in Lushan.
This is naturally the industry started by Li Yubing.
Having obtained the status of a direct disciple of the Li family in Lushan, she easily rented a large store near the dome's central pillar. Then she went to the Liuerxing hall to issue an announcement to recruit thirty girls about fifteen years old as alchemy boys, and three female cultivators with a certain level of alchemy cultivation as assistants for alchemy. In just one night, they were recruited.
Then she went to the Li family store in Huolu Street and purchased a large number of spiritual medicines of various categories, especially those that have been refined and fabricated. Finally, she took on some alchemy tasks assigned by family elders on the Good Deeds Monument of the store, as a topic to hone herself in future practice.
Anyway, this is not the first time that Li Yubing has hosted a elixir shop alone. She easily allocated the entire process and placed the recruited people. The three female Qi-refining cultivators regarded them as followers, presided over all the business dealings in the store in front, bought various medicinal materials, and registered the needs of those customers. In addition, they were managing the thirty alchemy boys. Every day, they had to give lectures to those boys, explain various common sense in alchemy, and guided them to become familiar with various spiritual medicines, and start from the most basic secular herbs step by step.
If Li Yubing can satisfy him, he can continue to stay. If he cannot achieve the goals set by Li Yubing, complete the various tasks she has assigned, and fails the assessment at the end of each month, then no matter who it is, whether it is the Qi Refining Female Cultivator or the boys, he will be cleared out on the spot and replaced by the newly recruited person.
As for their reward, they were not at all. The three Qi-refining female cultivators were better. After paying Li Yubing a tuition, they could act as assistants when Li Yubing refining alchemy. They could watch and think about it, and they could learn something. If they could be appreciated by Li Yubing, they could get her tips. But it was just tips. After all, these Qi-refining female cultivators were neither apprentices who were formally accepted by masters, nor from a family of big families. They were assistants who were recruited at will from casual cultivators in Xiaoyao City.
As for the thirty girls, they were even more waiting. Not only did they have to pay a large amount of tuition, but they were almost sold to Li Yubing. They could beat, scold, or even kill them in anger, let them accompany the bed, let them come forward to receive the male guests, and they could also use them to test the effects of some pills.
But this is also the same treatment for people like alchemy boys.
Finally, Li Yubing is not bad at heart. She will not cut them into the digestion and function of elixirs in the human body; she will not throw them into the alchemy furnace and refine them alively into a human pill; or she will use them to make some special medicinal growth breeding grounds, and their blood and flesh are used as materials for alchemy. Besides, Li Yubing is always a woman, so she will not let them give their body to please. At most, she will be sent to Chen Guanshui's bed as a substitute when Li Yubing is uncomfortable.
Li Yubing also explained in the recruitment announcement. If she could satisfy her, she would not mind the girl’s origin and bloodline. She could accept several disciples as registered names and send them to the academy at the foot of Huolu Mountain to continue studying. If those with extraordinary talent were accepted by her, she would act as Chen Guanshui’s concubine, or find a man of the twenty-two surnames to marry.
Naturally, the response is like a tide.
Even though Danfang clearly rejected the people who came later, there were still many Qi-refining female cultivators carrying genealogys, and many girls carrying genealogys to continue waiting in front of Danfang's door. Or, many women turned their attention to Chen Guanshui.
Unfortunately, Chen Guanshui is usually in the palace and rarely comes out. He visits, leaves famous posts, or wants to sell himself and sets up a situation to lure him, but no one can see Chen Guanshui. Besides the Chen family members of Liuerxing, Chen Guanshui also has the little girls in the An family, or Changsun Youxi Little Loli, no one else can see him.
For a whole year, Chen Guanshui stayed in the door and did not care about Thirty-Two's whereabouts, nor did he think about the journey of Beard Ridge's disciple, which was increasingly hopeless, and did not care about the ten-year agreement that An Xiangfu made, and even the task of drawing beautiful films and pictures published by Mr. Feng Yue. Chen Guanshui stayed in the room and was devoted to repeatedly watching the Taoist scriptures he had learned, the Taoist books he had read in Haizhou, Kong Wangshan, Baishi Academy, Wu State Supervision Taoist Temple, and Mirage Illusion. Especially those obtained in Mirage Illusion, Chen Guanshui read it carefully.
