After hearing Wu Sheng say that the assassin's surname was Dao, and staring at him with a half-smile, Dao Nanshe immediately opened his mouth wide and didn't close it for a long time.

After a moment, he came to his senses and shouted: "Master Shen, I'm sorry, I have nothing to do with this!" Suddenly an idea came to him: "My surname is not Dao, my surname is Daonan, and my last name is the Chinese character for snake!"

Wu Sheng didn't find it funny, and for a moment he was a little impressed. He had long known that the leader of the Dazhai of the Lianshan tribe was practicing Taiyi Dao. After the rise of Jixia Academy, he vigorously eradicated the three paths of witches, demons and monsters. Among them, the witch path was absorbed and improved by Jixia Academy. Changed its name to Taiyi Road.

The cultivation level of this Dazhai leader has jumped beyond the realm of physical witchcraft and entered the realm of divine witchcraft. He is in the fourth realm among the five realms of Taiyi, which is similar to the slightly weaker realm of refining gods in orthodox Taoism.

Wu Sheng is only a senior Qi practitioner. In terms of cultivation, Dao Nanshe is his senior. However, he is a high-ranking official of the Central Plains princes and an alchemist who is admired by his people. His status is naturally higher than that of Bai Yuetou. Wait, so he can talk to Dao Nan Snake on an equal footing, and in order to compete for the right to speak and gain momentum, he even directly tried to test him. Unexpectedly, the leader of the Dazhai suddenly gave up.

But Wu Sheng knew that the other party was giving in to his identity as an alchemist and for the sake of his subordinates. Wu Sheng immediately became fond of him.

Wu Sheng raised the lamp and said: "Master of the Dazhai, please don't misunderstand. Shen did not intend it. He is just passing on the truth. If the Master of the Dazhai has any news, I hope you can tell me."

Dao Nanshe immediately beat his chest and promised again and again: "When we get down, I will ask the children to investigate and see who is blind and dares to assassinate the alchemist. Isn't this against my Lian Shanbu!"

Wu Sheng whispered: "There is evidence that it was Zhu Zhen who did it... Of course, it is not conclusive yet. Please keep the secret strictly confidential, Chief of the Dazhai."

Dao Nanshe nodded solemnly: "I know! I'm going to find a way to find out. These real barbarians deserve to die!"

Wu Sheng held up his hands and said, "Thank you very much to the village master. I am going south this time. One is to investigate the case and hunt down the assassins. The other two continue to conduct consultations and treat patients in various ministries. I also ask the village master for your help."

Dao Nanshe immediately said: "I heard that the alchemist plans to extend the official path to the Cangwu tribe?"

Wu Sheng said: "Wherever the roads are built, I will practice medicine."

Dao Nanshe was overjoyed: "Can you be of service to my unit?"

Wu Sheng said: "I have something to ask of the leader of the village. In more than a month, the construction of the official road will start. I originally planned to mobilize manpower from the country. Considering that traveling long distances will be time-consuming and laborious, I want to recruit people from your department. It will be a laborious job. , I will provide you with all the meals you need while working..."

Dao Nanshe slapped his thigh: "In another month, all the food in the fields will be harvested, and it will be a slack time for farming! Is a thousand people enough? Also, Huang Feilong, the leader of Cangwu tribe's stronghold, is my good friend. I hope the alchemist will be like this." Pan Ganlin has long wanted to build a road. He also built a section of the road after my Lianshan section, but it couldn't be repaired well. There were many potholes, and half of it collapsed after a rain. Hahaha. I called him over in two days and listened. The alchemist is dispatched!"

After waiting for two days, Huang Feilong, the leader of Cangwu tribe's stronghold, arrived at Mangdang Mountain. However, the leader looked the opposite of Dao Nanshe. He was as thin as a bamboo pole. It would be better to change his name with Dao Nanshe. .

When dealing with Baiyue people, bursts of laughter are inevitable. Sometimes Wu Sheng himself is completely unaware of the point of laughter, but these two village leaders can laugh so hard that Wu Sheng and Jin Wuhuan can't help but laugh. Looking at each other.

In addition to laughter, of course, there was also big wine. Lian Shanbu sent several large barrels of fruit wine and snake wine. Everyone drank from morning to night and were hungover for many days. Only then did they finish talking about the matter - in fact, there was not much going on. Just people.

Wu Sheng asked the Cangwu tribe to provide 500 people, but they insisted on providing 2,000. Wu Sheng had reason to suspect that Huang Feilong planned to let him provide meals for the 2,000 people of their Cangwu tribe.

Including the manpower of the Lianshan Department, this is 3,000 strong laborers. The daily rice needs more than 2,000 kilograms. Adding an appropriate amount of vegetables, the meal will cost three gold. If you work for a month, it will be ninety gold. This is terrible. It's not something Wu Sheng can afford, and it's true that he doesn't need so many people.

In the end, of course, we have to listen to Wu Sheng. The two departments will provide a total of 1,500 people. Who will contribute how much will be negotiated by the two departments. Finally, Wu Sheng heard that Daonan Snake had allowed 500 people to come out. After all, they were building roads within the territory of the Cangwu tribe, and it was more convenient for the Cangwu tribe to send the bulk of its manpower.

It is unrealistic to expect to buy from the grain grown by the two tribes themselves. Although the tribesmen have learned to farm in the Central Plains, they are not very good at taking care of it. Even if the weather is smooth and the spirit is overflowing, the grain yield is not high, so Wu Sheng hopes It’s still the Master of Winter Bamboo Shoots.

A few days later, Master Dongsun sent a letter back from Yangzhou. He and his in-law Cui Ming had reached an agreement that Master Dongsun could purchase grain from Yangzhou.

Nanchu is a big granary. Over the past hundreds of years, the land has been cultivated very well. Even in wartime, Yangzhou has never been worried about food shortages. What it lacks is elixirs, spiritual materials and magic weapons. Therefore, Cui Ming also made it clear that Yangzhou did not want money, but only elixirs. One black ginseng pill could be exchanged for one hundred kilograms of brown rice, and one raw bone elixir could be exchanged for seventy kilograms of brown rice.

Therefore, Master Dongzhan ordered 200,000 kilograms of brown rice, which was waiting in the warehouse in Yangzhou, ready to be exchanged for two thousand Wushen Pills or three thousand Bone Bone Pills.

After doing this calculation, Wu Sheng's pressure was relieved. He planned to refine all the bone-producing pills. The total cost was sixty gold, but it could support a road construction army of 1,500 people for six months!

Even Wu Sheng did not intend to refine the Shenggu Dan by himself. He recruited Mo You and Yue Zhong to Mangdang Mountain and told them that he had created a new elixir called Shenggu Dan and that he would provide the materials for the elixir. Fang can also be taught to them, on the condition that they help him refine three thousand pieces in Mangdang Mountain.

Mo You and Yue Zhong were very interested in learning new elixirs. Finally, at the foot of Mangdang Mountain, in front of Lu Fang and Jin Wuhuan, they paid homage to Wu Sheng and became Wu Sheng's disciples.

But all three of them understood that this disciple relationship was not that of a disciple, but more like a student, without the responsibility of passing on the Taoism. Wu Sheng even made an agreement with them that after they learned the Bone Bone Pill, they could refine and sell it on their own, but there was one condition: for every Bone Bone Pill sold, they had to pay Wu Sheng two ant nose coins.

It's a pity that Dongxue doesn't have the talent for alchemy, otherwise she could simply learn the elixir recipe in her hand, which would be better than revealing the recipe to others. However, Dongxue discovered another benefit. Her ability to grow elixirs grew from scratch, and she improved significantly in just a few months, catching up with Mrs. Shen who had been growing elixirs for many years.

The Shenggu Dan was originally an extremely simple elixir. After Mo You and Yue Zhong started working on it, Wu Sheng spent half a day each teaching them how to make the elixir, and they were able to get started quickly. After two days of observation and guidance, the two men's daily elixir production combined reached an average of fifty pills per day, and they are expected to complete the refining in two months.

Gong Yin Kanlu drew the map, the two tribes prepared manpower, Master Dongsun prepared food, Mo You and Yuezhong made alchemy, but Wu Sheng himself had nothing to do, so he sat quietly in Lingquan Cave to practice.

The elixirs in the several acres of medicine fields in the cave are growing well, but the harvest season has not yet come, but Wu Sheng doesn't need it. He doesn't even have to spend money to practice now, and many tribesmen take the initiative to send over the collected elixirs. , as compensation for medical treatment, so there is no shortage of cultivation resources, and he is not picky in his cultivation. He eats whatever he can and maintains an income of five to six hundred spiritual sands every day.

In addition to the accumulation of spiritual sand, the smoke and clouds obtained from curing diseases and saving people are also constantly being collected, getting richer day after day.
