After breaking through to the realm of Qi refining that night, Xu Zhian clearly felt changes in his body. He became more energetic and physically stronger. He was also particularly sensitive to small changes in everything in the world. It took him several days to Only then have I adapted to the current situation.
During this period, Xu Zhi'an and A Niu got up early in the morning every day and were busy inside and outside the courtyard, sorting out medicinal materials and processing medicines. A Niu still persisted, enthusiastically learning literacy from Xu Zhi'an, but unfortunately the effect was just like that. However, Xu Zhi'an secretly admired the indomitable spirit of this honest big man. Even he got angry several times, but in the end he couldn't stand A Niu's pitiful eyes and had to let him go.
Apart from occasionally exchanging a few words with A Niu, Xu Zhian spends most of his time meditating and practicing alone. In addition to becoming more and more familiar with "Guanling", his cultivation level is also steadily improving. According to the current progress, it seems that he will be able to break through soon. , I couldn’t help but be secretly happy.
Speaking of Dr. Mo, he had always lived in seclusion during this period. The two of them could hardly see him. Even when eating, Aniu left it at the door of his room. They couldn't even see him. They didn't know what he was doing in the house. Even if a patient comes to Bihai Village, it will be A Niu and Xu Zhian who deal with it.
Xu Zhi'an felt strange, but seeing that A Niu seemed to be used to it, Xu Zhi'an didn't want to ask any more questions.
Time passed like this little by little, and Xu Zhi'an gradually got used to the life here. He learned a lot about pharmacology and medical skills from A Niu, which made Xu Zhi'an look at A Niu with admiration. However, it was not surprising that he could be accepted by Doctor Mo as his disciple. There must be something extraordinary about it.
Every once in a while, Bihai Village will send a lot of daily necessities. It seems that Doctor Mo has made an agreement with the village, and every now and then, you can always see people sent by the village chief to send some strange things. It was presented to Doctor Mo, but it was always mysterious and mysterious. Only Doctor Mo would pick him up and drop him off in person. A Niu and Xu Zhi'an would just lead the way and never participate. This made Xu Zhi'an curious, but when he thought of Doctor Mo's unfathomable , and there was no further exploration.
In short, during this period, apart from constantly thinking about my younger brothers and sisters who were far away in the south of the world, I lived a happy life and never lacked food or clothing.
On this day, A Niu checked the warehouse and found that the stock of some herbs was in danger, so he called Xu Zhian to go to the market at the entrance of the village.
Xu Zhi'an happily agreed. He had been talking about this place for a while, but he hadn't taken a walk around it. He heard that it was the opening time of the lake, and the pier and market were in full swing and bustling with activity.
Although Bihai Village is a village, Xu Zhian was a little surprised by how large it occupies. It is divided into three villages: Upper Bihai, Zhong Bihai, and Lower Bihai. Lower Bihai is almost full of docks. It is the middle of the year. At the busiest time, the fishing boats are constantly busy and crowded, attracting many outsiders to come here to experience it; Zhongbihai is a transportation center, and they are responsible for almost all kinds of vehicles, horses, and manpower. When opening the lake, they mainly It is responsible for transporting all kinds of fish catches to Shangbihai, and is also responsible for welcoming tourists. It usually distributes materials to various households in the village; Shangbihai is a market trade, which is very lively all year round, and is also responsible for the entire Bihai. The most prosperous part of the village mainly connects foreign caravans and tourists, provides various products produced by Bihai Lake, and also exchanges various materials. It has attracted countless foreign traders to patronize. In recent years, it has developed more rapidly and has the largest concentration within a hundred miles. market momentum.
The two chatted all the way and followed the flow of people to Shangbihai. As A Niu said, it was very lively here, with busy traffic, many vendors, and various hawking sounds. Different from usual, there seemed to be more outsiders this year, and they should all come to join in the fun. of.
A Niu took Xu Zhian straight to the medicinal materials trading street. After shopping for a while, he stopped in front of a medicinal materials vendor. A Niu bargained skillfully with the medicine seller, while Xu Zhian looked on and couldn't help but sigh, I thought I had done enough calculations in the past, but I didn't expect that this honest guy was also good at it. Although his eloquence was not as good as mine, he was able to lower the price of the medicinal materials with just a few words. Apart from being literate, this guy is almost an all-rounder. It's no wonder that Dr. Mo lets him handle big and small matters.
The two stayed for a long time, but in the end there was no deal. According to A Niu, it was still too expensive. They visited a few stalls, like shopping around, asking each house in detail, but it was obvious that A Niu was interested in them. I was still a little dissatisfied with the final price and planned to continue. Xu Zhi'an couldn't help but look sideways. In his opinion, the quality of the herbs was of high quality. The difference in price was only a few cents, but A Niu refused to let it go. The vendors had countless black lines on their foreheads. After giving in, they asked how many trucks they needed, but Ah Niu said that it would be about three pounds. Each vendor's face was dull, and he was vomiting fragrance. If Xu Zhi'an hadn't held him back, he might have taken action. .
"Aniu, are we out of money?"
Xu Zhi'an took A Niu to a secluded place and asked in a low voice with a guilty conscience.
A Newton became energetic and answered with his head held high: "Master's money is enough to buy half the street."
Xu Zhi'an almost lost his breath and cursed: "Then why are you worrying about these few pennies?"
"Don't spend your money carelessly. They may not know me, so they ask me for a high price. This is not the case with local druggists."
“Then why not just buy it from a local vendor?”
"We can't always cheat the locals, and occasionally let out-of-town traders bleed."
"..." Xu Zhi'an was speechless for a moment. It turns out that you also know that you are cheating people, and you can't cheat the locals with just a few cents, but you will only cheat yourself. Just looking at A Niu's serious look, Xu Zhi'an felt a little regretful to accompany him out, and said helplessly: "A Niu, go buy it yourself. I'll go shopping there. I'll go back before dark."
"Hey... little senior brother... you..."
Without waiting for A Niu to say anything, Xu Zhi'an turned around and left without giving A Niu a chance to speak again. Xu Zhi'an suspected that this guy's heart would be black when cut open, and his brain would be all mush when cut open. He was unreasonable and incomprehensible, otherwise will become like him.
Feeling depressed, Xu Zhi'an wanted to go back to Doctor Mo directly, but after thinking about it, he still walked around casually. He happened to walk to a stall selling mountain products, and suddenly his eyes were attracted by a grass. He took a closer look. , turned out to be a ginseng plant, but it was wrapped with grass leaves by the vendor, so you couldn’t tell it unless you looked carefully.
Xu Zhi'an stopped for a moment. Although the ginseng plant was wrapped with grass leaves by the vendor, in Xu Zhi'an's eyes, it actually glowed red, and there was a white mist on it, like a message. Xu Zhi'an had never encountered this strange scene before. been.
Thinking in his mind, he knelt down and looked carefully. Suddenly, the white mist flowed into Xu Zhian's mind, and it turned out to be information about this ginseng.
A first-grade elixir, a century-old blood ginseng, a holy medicine for healing. Taking it raw can increase your cultivation level, and the level of Qi refining can be raised by one level. It is invalid above the foundation building. It is the main ingredient of blood pill and the auxiliary ingredient of foundation pill.
