With Song Pingcun's confirmation, Hongcui and Luyi finally "found the right" direction. The big black dog even picked up a bag of silver from nowhere and took the two girls to the horse market while passing by a city.
The two horses galloped for 7 days, and the big black dog continued to guide them in the northwest direction. They finally arrived at Pingyao City along a nearly straight road.
Later, the neighbor discovered that this elixir shop, which did not even have a name, had two more handsome clerks.
The most critical reason why Liu Yiyi decided to buy this store was Jing. Pingyao City was built on the edge of the Daling Mountains. It has three city walls. The west side is on a cliff. It has no gates and no walls. The cliff is the gate of the Shennong Sect. Therefore, apart from the common people living here, there is basically no floating population. Except for some small shops selling daily groceries on this street, even the vegetable sellers rarely go inside.
This shop turned out to belong to a family that made garments. They were all regular customers and didn't care about the location of the shop. Unfortunately, the old tailor was old and wanted to go back to his son's home in the countryside, so Liu Yiyi took over. The store is backed by a cliff in the Daling Mountains, leaving a location for a drainage ditch. People are not allowed to enter the back. At most, they can only put some sundries in the back. Except for neighbors who borrow it, nothing can be thrown away.
Liu Yiyi wanted to build a secret training room for the young master in the cliff of this mountain, where it would also be convenient to store the "thousand-year-old corpse". She thought she was already very smart, selling "Earth-removing Pills" and "Qi-Nourishing Kidney Pills" It can also be a cover-up. Who knows that after half a year, even the neighbors will doubt what the master and the servant are doing?
He didn't know how to do business and didn't sell many pills, but the restaurant delivered meals on time every day at noon and evening, even if it was windy or rainy, there was no delay at all. This was better than ordinary wealthy families.
After Hongcui and Luyi came, they naturally improved a lot. They found someone to make a door sign and put it on the "Affordable Alchemy Room". Bottles and jars of all sizes filled the shelves, and all kinds of simple pills were put on them. She went to several drug stores nearby to deliver samples of "Zhuyu Pills" and "Qi-Building Kidney Pills". Within ten days, Liu Yiyi discovered that none of the pills that the young master had been refining during his spare time in the past six months were left. More and more pharmacies are coming, and even some well-established customers are coming on their own.
In this business, the neighbors have seen what it means to be crowded with customers. This street has never been so lively. As a last resort, he could only list the daily limit, otherwise Song Pingcun would have to do nothing but refining elixirs all day long.
People say that rare things can be lived in. As a result, the selling price of elixirs has become higher and higher, and the shipping price has naturally increased a little. For a time, Pingyao City's reputation as "affordable elixir houses" has gradually grown. Song Pingcun handed over the production of "Zhuyu Pills" to Hongcui and Luyi, but the "Qi-Building Kidney Pill" needed the assistance of spiritual energy, so naturally the spiritual energy of the two women's talents could not be used in this way.
The Qiankun Reversal Formation dismantled from Poyuan Sect came in handy. The spiritual energy extracted from the ground of the cliff seemed to be not too small, and it was enough for the elixir. After all, it was for ordinary use. A small amount was enough, but it could not be measured in large quantities. . In addition to using this formation in the God Realm to refine elixirs, Hong Cui and Lu Yi used it for practice every night.
Song Pingcun no longer needs to receive Qi, and daily meditation is just conditioning. This is because it is not easy to attack the remaining acupoints. It becomes more difficult as you go to the back. It would be good if you can open up one acupoint in one day. After all, you still have to do it. It takes a year to open all 720 acupoints.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye. The business of the Affordable Alchemy Room is getting better and better, but the amount of elixirs has never increased. Not only in nearby pharmacies, but also in Pingyao City, there will be a large number of people every ten days the night before the Affordable Alchemy Room opens for sale. There were a lot of people queuing up because they were sold out and they had to wait until the next ten days.
On this day, Song Ping was meditating in the secret room, and he felt Dahei knocking on the passage of the secret room, so he quickly stopped his practice.
"Young Master" Hong Cui had sharp eyes. When he saw Song Pingcun walking out of the room, he quickly saluted.
"Where is Yiyi?" Song Pingcun asked before anyone arrived. Normally, Liu Yiyi should be at home at this time. No matter what the crowd of people outside, they should at least come forward!
"Sir, Miss Liu said she would choose some clothes for you and buy medicinal materials by the way." Hong Cui replied.
"What's going on with all these noisy people?" The store is not big, so if there are just a few more people, it will seem crowded. From the counter to the door, all the way to the outside, there are people everywhere, and a bunch of people are surrounding them. At the door of the Affordable Alchemy Room, there were still many soldiers from the city who didn't understand what was going on.
"Are you the boss's son?" A middle-aged scholar-looking man asked first.
"The alchemy room here is down here. What's going on?" Song Pingcun saw the other party interjecting and couldn't help but answer.
"Are you sure?" The middle-aged Confucian scholar was very confused. A young man would be the owner of a cheap alchemy room. Although his height is the same as that of an adult, he is still too young after all.
"Absolutely useless" Song Pingcun said calmly.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar caught the real master and started to talk about it. After listening to Hongcui's explanation on the side, he realized what was going on.
It turned out that a distinguished guest came to the City Lord's Mansion and wanted to buy a few bottles of "Earth-removing Pills" and "Qi-Building Kidney Pills" on the market. Dan Xi, the son of the City Lord's Mansion, took the initiative to ask for it. Who knew that after asking several stores, they were all in short supply? I followed the store's instructions to find the goods, and asked for ten bottles of each.
It's not that Hong Cui and Green Clothes are not for sale. One is that except for a few customers who first found it themselves, the Affordable Alchemy Room is no longer sold separately. Although the other party reported the name of the City Lord's Mansion, there are really not that many in the store. .
Thinking that the city lord's mansion would not be offended, Hong Cui simply "sent" a bottle to Dan Xi.
Who would have known that as soon as the word "gift" was uttered, not only did he fail to get a favor, but it actually angered Mr. Shan, thinking that the affordable alchemy room was an insult to him and "disrespectful" to the city lord's palace.
This young master couldn't stop talking, just like chanting sutras, which made Hong Cui and Lu Yi, who had always been friendly and prosperous, unable to stand it, so they had no choice but to stop him. This time Mr. Shan found a new direction for the topic and started talking endlessly.
Hong Cui couldn't bear it and wanted to cover her ears, but she forgot that she had a pill in her hand that she was studying. As soon as he raised his hand, the pill in his hand flew straight out and hit the meridians of his neck. Mr. Shan was talking eloquently, but his upper and lower mouth could not be closed in time. The skeletal muscles of his face could not keep up with the rhythm for a while. His jaw was dislocated and his face was twisted. The funniest thing is that he was probably so excited that he could not even lift his arms to straighten them.
After hearing this, Song Pingcun almost laughed out loud. Why did he feel that he was more awesome than Elder Mingshan of Poyuan Sect! It was really difficult to control the expression on his face, but he quickly restrained himself. After all, the smile at this time would be suspected of ridicule.
"Let me take a look." Song Pingcun glanced around and finally saw Mr. Shan sitting against the wall on a bench behind the crowd. Originally, he was wearing a plain white gown, and his demeanor should have been pretty good. Unfortunately, his face was now deformed, and he was holding up one hand, and a soldier was half-crouching and carrying it on his shoulder.
After walking out of the counter and separating from the crowd, Song Pingcun bent down and took a closer look. It was indeed a dislocation, but it had affected the meridians. Even if an ordinary doctor came and the dislocation could be cured, there would still be sequelae. The hands and face will tremble involuntarily, similar to a stroke.
"Have you called the doctor over?" Song Pingcun turned around and asked.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar replied: "It's up to you to order this! You are responsible for this!"
"Responsible? What responsibility?" Song Pingcun stood up straight, looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar and asked coldly.
"Um... um... um um." Before Song Pingcun could finish his words, the young master Shan made a sound of um um ah ah in his mouth, and kept shaking his other hand.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar stopped talking to Song Pingcun, but pulled Song Pingcun aside and whispered to Shan Xi: "Young Master, they must be responsible for this matter. If they hadn't slandered the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion, how could they let you protect the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion? And speak out! How can you get hurt on the job!"
When Song Pingcun heard this, he almost felt like vomiting blood. It was a real pity that there were such "talented people" in this mortal world. However, seeing Mr. Shan keep waving his hands anxiously, he really couldn't stand it any longer. He stretched out his hand and the two of them changed positions again.
"Shut up, if you keep talking, I will make you act like your young master." The middle-aged Confucian scholar was about to scold Song Pingcun for his rudeness, but was suppressed by the young man's aura, and he quickly closed his open mouth. .
Then he looked at Shan Xi again, stretched out his hand to touch his cheek, and said with regret: "This young man looks so handsome, even if the doctor comes, I'm afraid there will be some sequelae."
Shan Xi's eyes from the beginning to panic, and there was a sound in his mouth.
Song Pingcun said to the soldiers still surrounding him: "If you don't want Mr. Shan to be like this, then get out as soon as possible." As soon as he said this, the middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at Song Pingcun with extremely complicated eyes, and finally asked all the soldiers to leave. , leaving only one soldier carrying Dan Xi's arm.
"He's going out too," Song Pingcun said coldly.
The soldier looked at Dan Xi, saw his young master nodded, lowered his body slightly, crouched and moved little by little from under his arms, and then exited the cheap alchemy room tremblingly.
Everyone thought that Song Pingcun was going to save Shan Xi, but they saw Song Pingcun smile strangely at Shan Xi and say, "I was so eloquent to my maids today that I scared them. I'll teach you a lesson so that you can remember it for a long time!" After saying that, under the disbelief eyes of the people around him, he raised his right hand and waved it at Shan Xi's face.
