It was already early morning three days after I finished reading all the records, and even Cheng Yun was very tired.
During this period, he had not yet shown the energy that he could display at the peak of bone forging. Chengyun also took the time to rest a few times, but his mind could not be restored after a few rests.
Qingxu Tower's business is so huge that there are only six hundred talented men and women on the Oriole List, not to mention the nearly a thousand people who are not on the list.
In addition, all talented people will have more or less servants and guards around them, and there will only be more people on the oriole list.
Rubbing his eyes and pressing his temples for a while, Cheng Yun took a deep breath, turned to look at the book he had flipped through, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Naturally, Qingxu Building has people who manage the record books, but I just can't let go, always worried that some key information will be missed.
But after three days of studying hard, it really proved that there was no key information.
Of course it's not without some benefits, at least there are some clues that Qing Xulou never told him.
It's not that he was hiding it, but it was too commonplace for Qing Xulou to specifically propose to give him the Sangchawei.
As for why Cheng Yun cared so much about it, it was all because of a sentence in the booklet written by Butcher Zhang.
Crimes committed in ordinary places, motives, methods, results, etc. are the most frightening.
I didn't feel anything when I read it, but Cheng Yun did keep an eye on it. I should at least write down some of the unusual things in ordinary situations. Maybe they will be of great use if I really encounter them.
Of course, it is also thanks to the fact that Chengyun did not come from a professional background. According to most people in Sanchasi, he was just a lucky man.
Cheng Yun is naturally happy to be like this.
Senior Yu came here several times in the past three days. She was very impressed when she saw Cheng Yun carefully flipping through the booklet. She would never have been able to last for an hour on her own.
I came here to remind Cheng Yun about his colleague Guan Li. Even if Yu Xixue withdrew his strength, Guan Li would have to lie down for at least four or five days.
But on the second night when Cheng Yun stayed up all night to study, he came to Yu Xixue and asked for the love letter.
Before leaving, he asked Senior Yu to say hello to Cheng Yun, who was full of confidence.
After Cheng Yun found out, he didn't care. Instead, he asked Senior Yu about his speculation on the death process of Qin Nu Ji Ying.
I learned that some of the acupuncture points in the ears, mouth, and nose were blocked, and the meridians were retrograde, which made it impossible to unblock the spiritual energy. This lasted for about half an hour.
Ji Ying, the piano girl, seems to be speechless. It is estimated that the meridians in the corresponding areas are severely retrograde, which prevents the spiritual power from being transmitted from the chest up to the mouth.
This is also the reason why the piano girl was discovered long after her death by her piano attendant Mo Long.
Of course, this is just a conjecture based on the fact that all the meridians and acupuncture points were damaged after the death of Qin Nu Jiying. It is difficult to judge the specific details.
For example, whether the meridians in the chest are blocked, causing Qin girl Ji Ying to be speechless. In fact, the symptoms of meridians in the chest are not only experienced by Ji Ying, but also by many monks.
This is mostly due to the low level of the exercises, and also due to taking too many elixirs. For example, in the past six months, several elixirs have suddenly emerged, most of which have the effect of warming and nourishing acupoints.
Not only the harp girl Ji Ying and her harp servants use it, but because it is cheap and easy to use, many people in the entire imperial city use it.
Although the effect is not seen immediately, the occasional feeling of blockage in the acupoints and the obvious feeling of growth after practicing for a period of time make many monks and warriors flock to it.
After saying this, Yu Xixue handed Cheng Yun one of them.
Cheng Yun first smelled it, then crushed half of it and observed it carefully. He took a few licks and tasted it with his eyes closed. After refining, he swallowed the other half whole.
The medicinal power first flows through the meridians, and then slowly settles in various acupoints, playing a role in accelerating the absorption of the spiritual power of heaven and earth and then slowly depositing it.
Not only the spiritual power, but also the qi and blood power will be retained by the medicinal power and mixed with the spiritual power if it passes through the acupoints.
Cheng Yun felt familiar, and his consciousness used Qi Liu to try to assimilate it, but unfortunately he couldn't do it at all.
After all, it is not the spiritual power of one's own body, but the mixture of one's own spiritual power, the spiritual power of heaven and earth, one's own qi, blood, and medicinal power.
Asked how many similar elixirs there were, Yu Xixue turned over his Xumiwu and said there were three more, but he had none and would bring them to Cheng Yun tomorrow.
Then Senior Yu stretched out a hand and looked at Cheng Yun with a smile:
"There are six hundred spiritual stones in total. When will Master Cheng give it to me? Otherwise, I will pay the money and deliver the goods tomorrow?"
Cheng Yun's eyes widened. He had just seen in the booklet that most people in Qingxu Tower were taking fifty or one hundred and one pills.
You can just tell Senior Yu that he is short of money. If Junior comes in nine and goes out thirteen, he will just lend it to Senior.
Yu Xixue continued to smile and raised her finger to herself, "The elixir I used was a fourth-level elixir, and it was refined by someone. It was not an ordinary item bought by an outside chamber of commerce. One hundred and fifty pills are considered a bargain for you." "
But there were a few words left unsaid in my heart.
This grown-up man has hidden his secrets quite deeply. Why can a person at the peak of bone forging consume a fourth-level elixir without changing his expression? Even if it is not a powerful medicine, it works instantly.
But no matter how mild the fourth-level elixir is, it is not something that a peak bone-forging person can take without any discomfort.
Yu Xixue had some guesses in her mind, it was just that she was hiding her strength and special skills.
Of course, it should be impossible to hide one's strength. After all, he had thrown out the love letter before and had been bullied by Guan Li. It could be seen that the adult's strength was there. It could only be because of his special skills.
Song Weiyi actually has such a good thing?
Or should we say Zhang Captou?
It was naturally impossible for Yu Xixue to know that the root of everything lay in the Niuzui Sword Cheng Yun carried with him.
After all, the appearance is ordinary, and there is still some rust at first glance. Except for the normal scabbard, the Ox Mouth Sword is more like the only choice for the decadent knights in the world.
Cheng Yun didn't know what Senior Yu was thinking at this time, so he had to sigh and take out the six hundred spirit stones. It was true that the effect of the medicine had begun to take effect, and the four kinds of Qi accumulated in his acupoints felt a little swollen.
I have to send Senior Yu away quickly so that Jian Yi can no longer suppress him and refine it carefully.
Fortunately, it did not continue to expand. Thanks to my relatively good physique, and my body had been somewhat refined the last time I broke through the Great Realm, and it could accommodate the spiritual power of heaven and earth as well as Qi and blood to a higher degree.
Ordinary goods? Cheng Yun remembered the key point. The source of elixirs like Qing Xulou's was naturally different from those bought by ordinary people outside.
Usually there is a dedicated person to contact the Chamber of Commerce and deliver it to your door at a fixed time and in a certain amount. Firstly, it is convenient, and secondly, the elixirs sold to Qing Xulou are more carefully refined and less likely to cause problems.
Let’s look at the chamber of commerce that sells elixirs, the Pingyuan Chamber of Commerce.
It can be regarded as one of the six largest chambers of commerce in the imperial city. As for its background and fortune, I don't know much about it. I have to go back and ask Lao Song.
In addition, the clue that Cheng Yun obtained in the record, which was not a clue, was the elixir mentioned by Senior Yu.
I am sensitive to herbal medicines and pills, so I remember them clearly.
Although you can't know the specific ingredients of the elixir by tasting it, you can take it back and ask around, or even write a letter and ask Bai Lai's master.
It's just that it basically takes about half a month to come and go, and I don't know if it will be in time.
After taking a mental-restoring elixir sent by Qing Xulou, he was about to close his eyes and regulate his mind when there were two kinds of footsteps, one heavy and one light, outside the door.
The heavier one is naturally Senior Yu, and the lighter one should be Ning Guanshi.
They stood up and exchanged greetings. Although Guanshi Ning did not mention the progress in his words, his eyes frequently glanced at the booklet that had not been collected, and he looked at Chengyun sincerely, which made it difficult for Chengyun to say anything.
After all, the most taboo thing about deciding a case is to inform irrelevant people of some clues in advance before there is any result.
Even if the clues that Cheng Yun currently believes may not be recognized by most other people.
Cheng Yun opened several records of Qin Nu Ji Ying, looked at Guanshi Ning seriously, and pointed out the things he didn't understand.
"Why is Ji Ying's income and expenses exactly the same as others, without any major changes?"
Manager Ning's expression visibly stiffened and he said:
"Everyone in the Qingxu Tower is the same. Unless he is like Ji Ying, who is ranked at the top of the Oriole Ming List, he will get more spiritual stones. Otherwise, he is no different from other talented people."
Cheng Yun sighed in front of Manager Ning. Putting aside daily expenses, Ji Ying's daily use of makeup was much better than others.
In January, there was only makeup and powder, and I heard from Brother Wan that there were nearly a thousand spirit stones.
The spiritual stones that Ji Ying earned every month were only a drop in the bucket.
But in the record book, the amount of spiritual stones Ji Ying earned was no different from others.
The only explanation is that the real booklet was hidden by Qing Xulou.
Manager Ning also knew that it was unreasonable, and Cheng Yun sighed and stopped talking. He just took a few pills from Sang Chawei, the foreign serviceman on the side.
My heart tightened. Although it was difficult to tell the difference between the Dan Yaoning Guanshi and Yu Xixue, the wrapping paper that Yu Xixue casually threw away looked very familiar.
It is the elixir wrapping paper specially provided by Pingyuan Chamber of Commerce.
Surprised that a female widower could purchase the elixir specially provided by the Pingyuan Chamber of Commerce, Manager Ning thought she was just an ordinary foreign service member Sang Chawei.
Suppressing the surprise, since Chengyun is willing to delve into this, Qing Xulou can suppress it for the time being.
Even if there are some gray debts that are not easy to sort out, Ji Ying's revenge is more important at the moment.
It's not just Qing Xu Lou's face, but more importantly, Ning Guang's own selfishness.
Ten years ago, my brother was seriously ill and needed a lot of spiritual stones to seek medical treatment. Although he had a job at Qingxu Tower, he was just a general handyman.
I prayed in many places to no avail, and because I was young, I was confused for a moment and thought that I would just throw myself into a well and die.
But the sound of the piano kept coming, and the sadness and euphemism kept me addicted, and I realized that it would be a good thing to die while taking advantage of the sound of the piano.
Unexpectedly, the sound of the piano suddenly sounded passionate and forging ahead, with the artistic conception of breaking through the waves. During this period, the sounds of obstacles and difficulties continued, and they were immediately suppressed by the sharper sound of the piano.
When the sound of the piano stopped, Ning Cai looked at Ji Ying, who was holding the piano, looking at him at the door.
There was prayer and encouragement in his eyes.
From that day on, the servants were diligent and conscientious. Not only did they borrow money to pay for the medical treatment of their brother, but their positions were also promoted one after another, until they are now Ning Guanshi.
He was even respected by nobles and adopted as his adopted son, and his voice was no less than that of a first-level steward.
What's even more gratifying is that my brother's illness has improved a lot and he is no longer in fear of his life.
All this is due to Nari Ji Yingtan's song.
