"Clang clang clang!"
A burst of gongs and drums sounded, and then a high-pitched voice came from the ring.
“First in Group A—Wang Xuanfu!”
Group A was the first to end the competition, and the remaining nine groups also competed for the first place in the group.
Among them, the number one in his group was actually an acquaintance of Wang Cheng, that middle-aged greasy man - Huang Meiren!
Huang Meiren is actually not as old as he looks. Because he has practiced certain exercises of the Five Poisons Sect, the male hormone secretion in his body is strong, which makes him look thirty-four years old when he is only twenty-four years old.
When issuing the Xuanwei token, He Yiming, even though he was unwilling to do so, still awarded Wang Cheng a bronze token, which was the deputy lieutenant's exclusive token.
With this token, he can receive a salary in Ninghou Mansion that is worth a thousand stones, and more importantly, he has the qualifications to enter the Dragon Blood Pool!
What Yang Si didn't expect was that he actually received a Xuanwei token. He actually didn't care about the bird token at all. He had already given up after the performance.
He Yiming patted his shoulder and praised him very much: "Not bad! You are very good!"
Yang Si didn't know that he was being resented, but he hugged He Yiming and cried bitterly: "Sir, I really shouldn't receive this token, I don't deserve it!"
You fucking know you're not worthy!
He Yiming saw that this bastard was still acting with him here. He was as disgusted as drinking rat excrement when drinking rice porridge, so he quickly pushed him away.
After the people walked away, Yang Si immediately returned to his original state, looked at the iron token in his hand, and said with a smile: "Hey! It's not bad to receive five hundred stones of food every year!"
A soldier actually had a salary of five hundred stones, which was completely beyond the salary standards of soldiers in the Zhou Dynasty. But from another perspective, every Xuanwei is at least a warrior full of energy and blood. In the Zhou army, it is not surprising that they are all captains of thousands or even military commanders.
Ninghou was the only living brother of the King of Zhou, and he had made great contributions to the Zhou Dynasty. The King of Zhou granted him permission to have a private armed force of 3,000 people.
He has always abided by this limit, but three thousand people are different from three thousand people. There are three thousand miscellaneous soldiers and three thousand warriors. He was once a hussar general who guarded the border. He ran the army strictly and preferred to be in short supply rather than indiscriminately, so of course he chose the latter. By.
Wang Cheng suddenly felt that the Xuanwei token was very hot. After more than ten years of modern education, he immediately thought that Zhou Zhaoguang had evil intentions and might one day plot a rebellion!
"It seems we need to rescue the master quickly and get out of here!"
He didn't want to get too involved with Zhou Zhaoguang, as he might one day become this person's cannon fodder.
He Yiming also announced that the top ten people in the group would go to the Guanglu Mountain Dragon Blood Pond for a dip in three days.
The Xuanwei selection, which had been going on for a day, finally came to an end.
Wang Cheng followed everyone out of the Hou Mansion. He looked back and asked, is the master being imprisoned here?
On the way back, Yang Si's face lit up with joy. He couldn't wait to take out the acceptance notes from Chase Bank from his bag and counted them one by one.
In this Xuanwei selection, he is the biggest winner.
With odds of 1 to 5, Yang Si bet nearly 900 taels of gold, which turned into 4,500 taels in half a day.
The man who originally saved the bet wanted to cheat a bit, but when he saw Wang Cheng beside Yang Si, he gave the golden ticket to Yang Si with a smile, without deducting a single point.
This is the power of Lieutenant Xuanwei. Almost everyone in Tiandu Mansion has to buy his fault, otherwise they will have trouble with Ninghou!
East Main Street.
This is the busiest street in Tiandu Prefecture, with gambling houses, brothels, teahouses, and restaurants all over the street.
It was evening, and there were many people on the street. Talents, beauties, and people from all walks of life began to come out.
The night market is a major feature here, because this is Ninghou's territory, and no one dares to cause trouble.
Baozhitang is on this street.
Wang Cheng dragged Yang Si into the hall. A huge wooden shelf was nailed to one wall, which was divided into small drawers. The names of the medicines were labeled on the drawers.
There was an old man with gray hair in front of the counter. He was lying on a chair behind the counter, holding a book in his hand. From time to time, he would put his index finger in his mouth and spit foam to open the pages of the book. He was reading with great pleasure.
After Wang Cheng and the others came in, the gray-haired old man put down his book, revealed a pair of shrewd eyes, and said, "What medicine does your guest need? We also have finished elixirs."
"Do you have Hunyuan Stone and Shenjing Grass?" Wang Cheng asked.
The gray-haired old man said: "There is Hunyuan Stone, but rare elixirs such as Shenjingcao have not been seen for several years."
Wang Cheng felt a little disappointed. If there was no Baozhitang, where else could one find Shenjingcao?
"Bring me a piece of Hunyuan Stone. Don't break it into pieces, but it should be complete. The bigger the better!"
After hearing this, the gray-haired old man got up and went back to the inner room. When he came out again, he was holding a stone the size of a washbasin in his hand.
The stone is black with red inside, as smooth as jade, and as bright as crystal, and there seems to be breath flowing inside.
As soon as Yang Si saw this thing, he knew it was worth a lot. He tightened the bag in his hand and said cautiously: "How much does such a big piece cost?"
"One thousand taels of gold!" said the gray-haired old man.
"One thousand taels of gold!" Yang Si repeated, subconsciously picking up the bag and leaving.
Wang Cheng held him down and said, "Take the money!"
Yang Si was very reluctant, but he still took out an acceptance gold note worth a thousand taels of gold.
Wang Cheng grabbed the golden ticket and stuffed it into the hand of the gray-haired old man, then took the Hunyuan Stone and turned around to leave.
"etc!"
At this moment, a man in white clothes walked out from the inner room, with a red face and white teeth, dressed like a man.
But what about Wang Cheng’s clairvoyant eyes?
This is a woman, and she is a very beautiful woman. She has curved eyebrows, a straight nose, and a pair of extremely charming eyes. You can't help but lose your mind after just one look at her.
Such a stunning woman is known as "beauty is a curse", no wonder she hides her appearance. If she shows her true face, she will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
After Wang Cheng lost consciousness for a moment, he said: "Is there something wrong, Your Excellency?"
The woman in white said: "Although Baozhitang doesn't have Shenjingcao at the moment, I know where to find it!"
Wang Cheng remained silent. Shenjingcao was a magical medicine. No one would take the initiative to reveal its information. The person in front of him must have some purpose.
The woman in white smiled and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go inside."
Wang Cheng hesitated briefly, then agreed and followed the woman in white to a secluded room.
The room is elegant and clean, with simple furnishings, including a screen with birds painted on it, a tea table, and a few futons.
The tea set is steaming and has been cooked.
The woman in white knelt down on a futon, picked up the teacup with her slender hands and poured Wang Cheng a cup of tea.
"Master, please have some tea!"
Wang Cheng did not refuse. He knew that the other party must be busy, so he picked up the teacup and drank slowly.
Growing up, he actually didn't know much about tea at all. He was only limited to the fact that tea can be drunk and refreshing, and there are a few famous teas that he can name, such as Biluochun, Longjing, and Dahongpao.
The fragrance hits your nostrils, and after entering the mouth, your whole person seems to be sublimated, your mind immediately becomes extremely calm, and the soul light in your mind suddenly flickers at a moment.
Huh?
Wang Cheng looked at the tea cup in his hand and realized that this tea was not simple, it actually had a concentration effect!
This scene fell into the eyes of the person in white, and she explained: "This is Yunmeng Ling Tea from Yunwu Mountain. It is picked from the old tea tree early in the morning after the rain. It has the effect of calming the mind!"
It’s actually spiritual tea!
"No wonder it has the effect of increasing the cultivation of mind power!" Wang Cheng thought thoughtfully, then picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
The man in white secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to drink her tea meant that we could talk, and said, "It's rare for anyone to buy such a big piece of Hunyuan Stone. I must be a doctor!"
"If you have something to say, it's okay to say it!" Wang Cheng doesn't like to beat around the bush.
The man in white said: "I wonder, Master, have you ever heard of the Nirvana Pill?"
Wang Cheng paused with the teacup in his hand. How could he not know about this top-quality elixir, which was known as a divine elixir?
Nirvana Pill, also called Phoenix Nirvana Pill, this pill can make people regenerate their severed limbs and reborn.
In order to train their direct descendants, some aristocratic families let them take Nirvana Pills from an early age to build the strongest foundation of martial arts. As long as they do not fall in the future, the minimum achievement is to be a martial arts master.
The greatest effect of this elixir is to save people. There was once a warrior who had countless bones broken and his internal organs severely damaged. However, after taking the Nirvana elixir, he was lively and dancing three days later.
Wang Cheng looked at her and said, "Do you want me to help you refine the Nirvana Pill?"
The man in white did not answer directly, but said happily: "Master, can you refine this elixir?"
Wang Cheng shook his head and said, "I have never practiced."
The highest-grade elixir he has concocted so far is the high-grade treasure elixir - Xiaohuan Dan. He has never tried a spiritual elixir before.
The steps for refining the elixir are much more complicated than the elixir, and it requires the use of an elixir furnace. Because the elixir furnace controls the heat more accurately, there are very few doctors who can refine the elixir.
The man in white's expression darkened. She was still impatient after all. How could she refine the best elixir when she met a random person?
At this time, I heard Wang Cheng say: "If you can help me get an alchemy furnace, I can try it!"
The man in white's clear black and white eyes were filled with energy again, and he quickly responded: "I have the alchemy furnace right here."
She quickly stood up and left, holding a bronze alchemy furnace in her hand when she came back.
The furnace is more than 30 centimeters high and has a diameter of more than 10 centimeters. There is a lid on top with a cloud pattern on the edge and two dragons playing with beads in the center. The furnace body is also decorated with moiré patterns, with street rings on both sides, a fire door on the belly, and three animal feet on the furnace feet.
Wang Cheng took the alchemy furnace, handed out another piece of paper, and said: "Follow this recipe and prepare the medicine!"
But just when she was about to take the pill recipe, she heard Wang Cheng say: "Can you tell me the news about Shenjingcao now?"
The man in white said: "Tian Duan Mountain!"
"It turns out this is here!" Wang Cheng suddenly remembered Xiao Lingtong's words, how much Shenjing grass grows on the ancient battlefield.
Tianduan Mountain is the location of an ancient battlefield - Tianmen Battlefield, located at the junction of the Zhou Dynasty and the Xia Kingdom.
This place has been a battlefield since the tribal era. After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the small feudal countries fought here almost every year due to border issues. After the Great Zhou Dynasty split, many large-scale battles took place. To this day, the Great Zhou Dynasty still gathers 100,000 horses here.
"Sir, can you give me the pill recipe?"
