‘Gu Yun, the shopkeeper of Yunling Newspaper, rarely comes to the newspaper office.’

As the editor-in-chief walked into the separate room on the third floor, related memories emerged from Lu Jiu's memory.

"Shopkeeper Gu."

After saying hello, Lu Jiu looked at the real "talent" of Yunling News Agency in front of him openly.

The eyes are filled with a very well-maintained face. Although there are a lot of wrinkles at the corners of your eyes, they can still be called beautiful.

The upper body is a blue-white plain shirt embroidered with light blue flowers, and the lower body is a light red skirt. The clothes are a little simple but cannot hide their graceful figure. It shows that the shopkeeper's charm when he was young may make many men unable to sleep.

"I just read it. This time the report is good. Not only did I grab this hot topic first, but the county government is also very satisfied. Xiaoqi, give these two people 2 silver dollars."

The round fan in her left hand clicked the newspaper on the table. The maid standing next to her put the silver dollars as rewards in the hands of the two of them while she was talking. Gu Yun's eyes swept over the two of them, paused a little on Lu Jiu, glanced at his left arm, shook the round fan twice, and continued to say after a brief silence.

"In the future, you will be responsible for the newspaper's reports on anecdotes. If you have any needs, you can ask Editor-in-Chief Wu."

Lu Jiu didn't understand what Gu Yun's decision meant at first. He only realized that the reward seemed very heavy when he saw Zhou Ze and Editor-in-Chief Wu's expression on his face.

This is indeed the case.

Anecdotes are part of the content of the newspaper published by Yunling Newspaper. Although they do not occupy too many pages, they are still a separate project.

Originally, the interviewees in the newspaper were jointly responsible, and after a good report was given to Editor-in-Chief Wu to decide whether to publish the newspaper, but now this power was transferred to Lu Jiu and Zhou Ze under the instruction of Manager Gu.

This means that they have been promoted from interviewees who are only responsible for news collection. Not only will their salary increase, but they will have considerable freedom in their daily work, which will undoubtedly be much more convenient in terms of funding applications.

When Editor-in-Chief Wu announced the incident on the second floor, there was another sensation, so the two were surrounded again.

Lu Jiu didn't plan to waste the whole afternoon of talking to his colleagues in the newspaper office, and found an opportunity to sneak out of the newspaper office, and still asked Zhou Ze to cover him up. Anyway, the eldest young master was very keen on being flattered, and now he was eager to stay in the newspaper office.

Waiting for the bus at the station on the street, get on the bus and go directly to the commercial area in the south of the city. Lu Jiu has a lot to do today.

......

The commercial area in the south of the city is undoubtedly the most lively area in Qingding City.

Lu Jiu held a scallion pancake in his hand and walked along the street, looking at everything around him with interest.

He saw a girl wearing a tulle skirt practicing dancing on the pavilion under the red and green eaves. Someone was holding a telescope on the mechanical platform not far away, and there were several people scrambling around him, all wanting to enjoy the "beautiful scenery". The corridor hanging in the air connected to two inns next to the street. The drunken guests were shaking, climbing up the steel bar bend and turning the fence to jump down, but the servant who followed him grabbed the corner of his clothes and dragged it back.

Occasionally, I would meet a few performing artists, holding some weird props or steaming mechanical monkeys, manipulating them to distribute leaflets to pedestrians around me, and greeting them at what time tonight, which Wasi has any strange performances.

Lu Jiu went up to ask for a flyer. He thought it was really interesting, so he followed the artist team to visit half a street, observed the smooth movements of the mechanical monkey, and bought a bag of melon seeds and walked all the way.

When I walked to the front of a pharmacy, I looked up at the name, then lowered my head and took out the name on the bottle in my pocket to compare it, then frowned and entered the door.

"Which street is Ganoderma Hall open?"

I found a guy busy at the counter. This question was Lu Jiu's 6th time.

"Lingzhitang, I have never heard of this medicine shop... Have you remembered the wrong name?"

The nearly identical answer was also the 6th time Lu Jiu heard it.

It even made him feel a sense of déjà vu.

From the time he arrived in the south of the city, he would go in and ask if he had heard of the pharmacy of Lingzhitang. However, the reply he received told him that there seemed to be no pharmacy of Lingzhitang in Qingding City, which disappointed Lu Jiu for a moment.

You should know that he originally wanted to provide himself with special blood through this medicine shop and try to test his body further. If this road cannot be done, he will have to expect to meet monsters like the gray-feathered crow last night to replenish his blood.

But no matter how you think about it, it is an extremely low probability event... Maybe the information channels in the newspaper can help?

Thinking about the possibility of searching for traces of monsters through newspapers, Lu Jiu continued to search in the south of the city with the idea that the Ganoderma Hall might be a hidden small workshop.

Until he gave Zhou Ze his backpack that he had given him before, Lu Jiu had to admit that he would not have any result if he turned around twice.

However, during the search process, Lu Jiu was not completely unrealized. By showing the medicine bottles and the pills inside to the pharmacists at several pharmacies, Lu Jiu learned that the way of making this pill follows the ancient method, and the various medicinal materials were processed and kneaded, and presented them in the form of pills.

Now the pharmacies in Qingding City are either Chinese herbal medicines or various pills and injections that are easy to preserve. The number of pills is very small, and most of them are stocks that are under the warehouse, and no one cares about them.

Most pharmacies are undergoing transformation, so naturally this backward drug has not been spent on a lot of effort to produce it.

After listening to the pharmacist's explanation, Lu Jiu immediately realized that his previous thoughts were probably correct.

Assuming that the elixir in the hands of the mage was indeed purchased in a small workshop in Qingding City, then because of the particularity of this elixir, the founders of such workshops are basically impossible to obtain a drug sale license issued by the government, so there is naturally no such thing as plaques.

This means that it is extremely difficult to find the Lingzhitang by relying on labels. If there is no special channel or a special person to recommend it, even if Lu Jiu meets someone who knows the origin of the pill, the latter may treat him as a fishing law enforcement person and deliberately conceal it from him.

With this in mind, Lu Jiu temporarily put off the idea of ​​finding Lingzhitang by himself, turned to carry a backpack and boarded the bus again.

This time the destination is Qingding Station in Dongcheng District.

According to the information left by his predecessor in the newspaper, Lu Jiu was able to confirm that he had left Qingding City in the past week, and Lu Jiu was going to other cities or villages. Apart from walking, he was just taking a train or a carriage.

As for cars, I didn’t have the courage to rent a car and take me on a long journey.

Whether it is a train station or a carriage, because they usually operate, they are noisy and occupy a large area, so they are all gathered in the Dongcheng District full of factories.
