Chapter 40, Cordyceps sinensis
Lu Feng smiled easily and said, "The agreement between three palms has passed. Can we put an end to the past tonight?"
Mr. Yan signaled Yan Zhengchi to come forward and congratulate Lu Feng on his breakthrough.
Lu Feng's behavior has made them unwilling to have any intention of enmity.
"Forget what happened tonight, but you still need to find out the real culprit who killed He Er. I will ask Ming Chi to work with you. When the real culprit emerges, I will go to the prison to explain the truth."
Although his words were a bit rogue, they lost the domineering air at the beginning and became more helpless and pleading.
If you look at it from the perspective of someone who lost his grandson in his later years, then this old man’s words are understandable.
Yan Jingjing originally wanted to speak up and go together to find out the real culprit, but she backed down a little when she thought that she had no strength. She had not yet awakened her soul, so it was better not to help but not to hinder him.
Yan Mingchi was not the only one who was hit tonight. The same was true for Yan Jingjing. There were so many people of similar age to her, the weakest of whom had reached the Three Soul Realm just now.
But she couldn't even do the most basic training.
It's not that she hasn't tried to practice in recent years, but no matter how hard she tries, her life soul can't awaken, and not even a trace of spiritual energy can be introduced into her body.
After some enlightenment and explanation, Yan Mingchi finally recovered. After receiving the instructions from Mr. Yan to help Lu Feng and others, Yan Mingchi walked to Lu Feng and said with some disbelief: "In actual combat, you will never meet me. No chance of survival."
Lu Feng responded gently: "Of course, of course, thanks to Brother Yan for showing mercy tonight."
His tone was calm, not at all complacent because of his successful dodge.
This made Yan Mingchi a little confused about how to respond. He originally thought that Lu Feng would talk back, but he didn't expect him to be so humble.
When leaving Yan's Mansion, Lu Feng took out a practice technique and handed it to Yan Jingjing, explaining: "You have a special physique. Ordinary techniques have no effect on you. Try this Qi-guiding technique;"
"If you can't let go of what happened last night, then try to become stronger and kill me."
Yan Jingjing took over the technique with a confused look on her face, somewhat unable to see through Lu Feng.
How could anyone take the initiative to have someone assassinate him?
At that moment, I secretly thought it was because of his complacency, and responded unconvinced: "Just wait for me. When I become stronger, I will beat you to your knees and beg for mercy."
Perhaps even Yan Jingjing herself didn't realize that there was no trace of murderous intent in her words. Now she no longer wanted to kill Lu Feng, she just wanted to express her anger at being taken advantage of.
Lu Feng smiled slightly: "I'll wait."
The sky gradually became brighter, and a faint red appeared in the east, lighting up the sky and the earth.
Tang Yuan asked Lu Feng for his opinion: "What are your plans next?"
Lu Feng glanced at Yan Mingchi who had come to help, gave him a kind smile, and then started communicating with Tang Yuan.
"In the ruined temple, you said that people in Cheng Mansion and Ma Mansion were also attacked unexpectedly. It's up to you and Brother Yan to verify this matter and see if there are any clues."
Hearing this, Yan Mingchi nodded and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. Tang Yuan was actually asking Lu Feng for his opinion. This made him even more sure of the latter's identity and that he was definitely not some kind of indentured slave.
"What about us?" Jiang Ruoyun asked.
"The remaining Qu Mansion and Shi Mansion have not heard any rumors of being attacked, but we still need to inquire." Lu Feng responded.
"Then the two of us will go visit?" Jiang Ruoyun asked eagerly.
"No rush, let's go back to Jiang Mansion to make preparations first," Lu Feng said, thinking of something, he stretched out his hand towards Tang Yuan and said, "Is there any leftover of the bottle of blood rejuvenation powder I gave you earlier?"
Tang Yuan naturally understood that this was definitely not Lu Feng's stingy intention to go back. There must be other uses, but there was not much potion left in the bottle. He smiled awkwardly and handed it to Lu Feng.
"Then let's split up and meet at Juxiang Garden when it gets dark."
Back at Jiang Mansion, Jiang Ruoyun yawned unconsciously, and Lu Feng smiled. It was inevitable to be tired after staying up all night and working like this.
"You should go and rest for a while. I will call you after I prepare something."
Jiang Ruoyun was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "It's okay, you're not sleepy, I want to help."
"I can prepare these by myself. If you really want to help, just give me some coins and have a good sleep." Lu Feng responded. Although he still had some left, it might not be enough.
Jiang Ruoyun took out two cloth bags without hesitation and handed them to Lu Feng, "These are all my belongings, and they are all for you."
After saying that, he yawned again, smiled at Lu Feng and said: "When you are ready, remember to wake me up, otherwise... humph"
As he spoke, he shook his little fist, but it was obviously not dangerous, but rather playful.
After watching Jiang Ruoyun return to the room, Lu Feng took out his pen and ink and wrote down a prescription, which was the formula of Huixue Powder.
Hui Xue Powder is not a rare thing. As a basic healing elixir, every practicing soul master in Lu Feng's original region has recited this prescription.
But no one knew about it in this remote town.
Hui Xue Powder, as the lowest elixir, has the effect of whitening flesh and bones. Normal trauma can heal with just a few days of spraying.
With Lu Feng's recovery ability and the effectiveness of Huixue Powder, the injury on the back of his hand has healed by 30%, and he will be able to recover within a few days.
The prescription itself is not expensive, but it can be sold at a good price in Qinglong Town.
If Lu Feng didn't know the art of refining medicine, he would never do such a thing as selling medicine prescriptions. Selling the finished product directly would obviously be more profitable.
No matter how expensive a simple prescription is, there is a limit.
Lu Feng has no intention of making a profit from this.
The main reason why Lu Feng asked Jiang Ruoyun for money was because of the medicinal materials in the prescription.
Medicinal materials that are cheap but not in large quantities, medicinal materials that only appear in summer.
This is what Lu Feng is thinking about.
Lu Feng left Jiang Mansion with the coins given by Jiang Ruoyun in his arms. After making inquiries, he came to the largest pharmacy in Qinglong Town.
This medicine shop named 'Chijiao Medical God' is owned by the Shi family.
Lu Feng walked straight in.
"Hanging pot to help the world, elixir to rejuvenate" eight big characters and two plaques were hung majestically in the outer hall and inner hall of the medicine shop. Lu Feng walked in and went straight to the shopkeeper.
"How many cordyceps are left in the store?" Lu Feng asked straight to the point.
An old man in his sixties or seventies stood in front of Lu Feng with an abacus in his hand and looked at Lu Feng.
"This cordyceps is cultivated in the lotus heart of the summer clear fire lotus, and not every clear fire lotus has this cordyceps. As the saying goes, rare things are valuable..."
"How many cordyceps are there?" Lu Feng interrupted the shopkeeper and asked again.
"It seems that your guest is a sensible person, so I won't go on too much. We still have some Cordyceps in stock, but the quantity is not large. I wonder how much your guest needs?" the old shopkeeper said with a smile.
"How many do you have?" Lu Feng asked.
If you tell the store the required quantity, you will be passive when negotiating the price. Lu Feng knows this very well, so he puts aside the rhetorical question.
The old shopkeeper glanced at Lu Feng thoughtfully, but the latter's indifferent expression really showed no sign of it, so he responded: "There are still about five hundred plants left."
Lu Feng did not say how many he wanted, but then asked: "How many per plant?"
The old shopkeeper started to be sloppy and did not respond directly to Lu Feng. He introduced various rules of the shop and said: "According to the rules of the shop... Large quantities will be given. I don't know how much the customer needs."
Lu Feng naturally wanted more, the better, but he couldn't express his feelings and pretended to hesitate: "It depends on the price of your store. If it's too expensive, of course you can't afford too much."
Looking at the young man in front of him who was far more calm than his peers, a hint of appreciation flashed across the old shopkeeper's shrewd face.
But business is business after all, "Thirty copper coins for each plant below one hundred, twenty-five copper coins for each plant above one hundred and two hundred, and twenty copper coins for each plant above three hundred."
Lu Feng did some calculations and said, "I want four hundred and fifty plants. Each plant costs fifteen copper coins. How about that?"
The old shopkeeper hesitated for a moment after hearing this, his shrewd face was suddenly lost in thought, he smiled and declined politely: "The shop is also a small business, and the price of these twenty copper coins is already the cost price."
Lu Feng knew that the price of cordyceps fluctuated between fifteen and twenty-two pieces, so he smiled and said, "Eighteen pieces a plant, I want them all. If it doesn't work, then I will have to find another one." ”
The old shopkeeper had some hesitation on his face. Seeing this, Lu Feng turned around and prepared to leave.
"Okay, okay, okay, deal."
The old shopkeeper compromised and said that no one would need this cordyceps at all on weekdays. If he put it down any longer, he would be afraid that it would lose its potency over time. Although the selling price was a little cheaper, there was still some profit.
A faint smile appeared on Lu Feng's lips. After completing the formalities, he went to other pharmacies.
There are still four or five large and small drug stores in Qinglong Town, but the total inventory of cordyceps is not as large as that of this drug store under the name of Shifu.
After spending a lot of savings, Lu Feng hoarded all the Cordyceps in Qinglong Town.
Next, it is time to announce the prescription to the public.
The most ideal way to announce it is naturally through the most prestigious Shifu.
As a famous family in Qinglong Town, Shi Mansion made its fortune mainly through medicine, so it would be most appropriate for him to use and spread Huixue Powder.
After making up his mind, Lu Feng walked towards the location of Shi Mansion.
As expected, he was stopped at the door. Lu Feng smiled knowingly and handed a letter he had already prepared to the servants of the Shi Mansion along with the remaining blood-restoring powder bottle.
"Give these to your master. If he wants to find me after reading them, just go to Jiang Mansion and find Jiang Ruoyun."
Lu Feng gave the letter and medicine, and then left Shi Mansion. After hearing the word "Jiang Mansion", the servant couldn't help but pay more attention to it and hurriedly sent the letter in.
Lu Feng knew that Shi Mansion would definitely find him after seeing Huixuesan, so he was not in a hurry at the moment and walked slowly towards the weapons shop.
During his previous training at Qingzhi Mountain, he felt that the arrow feathers he owned were too single and could not cope with many situations, so he had already prepared to custom-make a special set of arrow feathers.
