The master and the apprentice boarded the carriage, the coachman flicked the reins, and the horses ran towards the medicine gang's main hall.
"You asked me if I can take a medicated bath from Yaobang. I can definitely tell you, yes! But why haven't I heard of many people in Sichuan City taking different medicated baths to strengthen themselves?"
When He Zhao heard this, he rolled his eyes. If I knew, why would I ask you?
"I would like to ask you, why do you need to soak in medicinal baths every once in a while?"
""
"Because if there is no separation, the body will not be able to bear it!" Before he could open his mouth, Lao Fan gave the answer on his own. "Medicinal bathing is to strengthen a certain aspect of the physical body, thereby reaching the limits of ordinary people, or breaking through the limits."
After a pause, he said again.
"One medicinal bath will cause great damage to the body. It needs to be rested for a period of time, and then soaked again for strengthening. In a short period of time, continuous medicinal bath will make people miserable, and in serious cases, it may cause death.
Anyone who completes a medicinal bath recipe and then soaks in a recipe that breaks the limits in other aspects is no different from continuous medicinal baths in a short period of time.
People always have their limits. Of course, there is no shortage of talented wizards in the world. As far as I know, the three big gang leaders in Sichuan City have all taken two medicinal baths, and each of them is very strong.
The old gang leaders of the three gangs are all different. The gang leader of the local gang who resigned a few years ago was a tough guy who took three different prescriptions. The old gang leader of the medicine gang that I know is the same as the other gang leader.
Only the old gang leader of the Cao Gang is different. He is a ruthless man who has taken four different prescriptions. This is also the reason why the local gang and the Yao Gang are so different from each other, but the Cao Gang can stay out of the matter."
""
The man named He was silent. He thought it was a sudden idea a few days ago, but it turned out that someone had already done it!
At the same time, I am even more hopeful that if others can do it, he can do the same.
Four times?
I want five times!
'The improved formula of "Stone Splitting Hand", the formula of Yaobang that greatly increases physical strength, and the formula of Liuhemen that enhances the five senses. As for Xingyimen, on the surface, there is no difference in the improvement direction of the medicinal bath that I have improved now.'
After careful calculation, I got three of them together!
not enough.
After today's visit to the current leader of the Medicine Gang, he went to inquire about the news and inquire about the magic formulas of other sects in the city.
What's going on, I have to gather five kinds of recipes to become a hexagonal warrior that everyone is afraid of.
"Hush!"
The groom pulled the reins and stopped the galloping carriage.
"Master, we're here."
"Um!"
Fan Zhong replied, stretched out his hand to lift the car curtain, and slowly got out of the car.
Compared to his master, someone jumped down with a graceful and handsome movement.
"Hmph! Ha!"
From the huge mansion in front of the three people, the sound of martial arts practice could be heard.
"Mr. Fan."
One of the two gangsters standing on guard at the door immediately came forward to greet him, clasping his fists and bending down to salute respectfully. The other turned around and entered the door, trotting to inform the steward.
"Where is your gang leader?"
"We are in the lobby, discussing matters with all the hall masters."
While the two parties were chatting, the gatekeeper came back with a goatee who looked like a master who gave advice.
"Mr. Fan, please come to the inner hall to talk."
"Thank you, Manager Wang."
The two of them walked forward, one behind the other, towards the mansion.
He Zhao followed. He was no longer the novice he was.
Steward in a gang sounds like a pretty big name, but it's actually just a title for a civilian employee.
As we all know, ordinary martial arts practitioners are rough and rough.
It's okay to fight bravely with others, but if you ask them to manage accounts, develop, and run a business, it's simply harder than reaching the sky. Moreover, in order to ensure that the strength does not decline, or to reach a higher level, you have to practice martial arts every day, and you don't have time.
Handle chores.
Therefore, the position of steward came into being.
Each hall has a trustworthy steward who helps the hall masters handle various clerical affairs. The big steward next to the gang leader supervises the minor stewards in each hall.
Are they having second thoughts?
Haha, in this world, those who hold a knife in their hands must speak louder than those who hold a pen in their hands.
A group of three people entered the main hall of the Medicine Gang.
On the road, you can always catch a glimpse of some hunky-backed men hurriedly passing by.
The humming sound not long ago came from a training ground that occupies a huge area.
A quick glance showed there were at least hundreds of people.
"Those are the new disciples who joined the gang. We selected a group of people with the most talent in martial arts from the major cities in the north." Seeing the curious look on the famous ruthless man's face, Manager Wang couldn't help but explain.
The local gang has too much influence in Sichun City, and the Yao Gang will never choose anyone from the local area.
After all, those who can come to the main hall to practice martial arts are all training for the backbone.
It would be very uncomfortable if a few local spies sneak in and betray the enemy at a critical moment.
"Our medicine gang has a general election every three years. The main hall has been practicing hard for three years. If you can't complete the medicinal bath, you will be sent back to your place of origin and become a small leader. Once a year, there will be a small election to eliminate those who are at the bottom and let everyone
Outstanding local disciples joined in."
""
This thing seems to be called final elimination, right?
"In the end, for the outstanding talents who can be retained, it would be excessive to serve as a small boss in Sichuan City first. When the big boss retires or makes a mistake, he will be replaced by the best."
Backbone replacement?
The three of them came to the inner hall while talking.
"Fighting, fighting, fighting all day long! Do you know how much money we have lost recently because of the fight with the local gang? I alone lost five to sixty thousand taels of silver."
"If we don't fight, wouldn't it be a joke? Our medicine gang is in trouble. We are weaker than their local gangs! I support going to war with them. At worst, we won't play anymore."
"Think about it in the long term, think about it in the long term. I heard that the local gang has hooked up with the Cao gang. They have never helped each other, but there is a vague intention of moving towards the local gang."
There was a quarrel coming from the outer hall. Judging from the tone, you can imagine that it was a scene of a group of gang bosses, quarreling with red faces.
"Drink tea, drink tea."
Manager Wang's expression remained unchanged. Similar quarrels happened every day and he was used to it. Besides, the two people in front of him were not outsiders, so they would not make people laugh.
After about half an hour, the quarrel gradually died down.
In the end, a group of people did not come to a decision.
Inside and outside the words, they are divided into three camps.
The first one felt that we should not continue to fight, and that cultivating one's health is the right way. The second one was more straightforward, flipping the table and letting everyone die together. Since I can't make money, you don't want to make any money either. The third support immediately responded and decided first
Take a look at what Caobang means and then make your judgment.
After the meeting, a strong man walked in from the outer hall.
Judging from his age, he was about thirty years old, less than forty years old. The muscles exposed all over his body were smooth, his temples were bulging, and his eyebrows were full of sadness. But when he saw Fan Zhong, he immediately smiled, as if he had just been
illusion.
"Brother Fan!"
"Brother Li!"
The two hugged each other and greeted each other.
"Come here today, do you have something important to do?"
When the two of them sat down and called, Gang Leader Li asked. Normally, under normal circumstances, Fan Zhong would not come to the Medicine Helper if he had nothing to do. If he came, it meant that he had troubles that could not be solved and needed help.
"Haha, a few days ago, I accepted a disciple. I am here today to help him take a medicinal bath."
"oh?"
When Gang Leader Li heard this, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on He Zhao. He looked up and down, thinking secretly in his heart, what was so special about him that would make an old friend who had not accepted a disciple for more than ten years change his mind and accept him. Even,
Visiting for the sake of my apprentice.
"Gang Leader Li."
The man surnamed He clasped his hands and gave a salute. His attitude when asking for help and doing things should at least be correct. His nose turned upward was not his character.
"My apprentice is very interested in Yaobang, a medicinal bath that can increase human physical strength. He always asks me to bring him over and experience it for himself."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Gang Leader Li had no intention of rejecting this. It's just a medicinal bath, it's not asking for a formula, it doesn't cost a lot of money. "Wang Long, write it down. The first, fifteenth and end of each month.
In three days, remember to send someone to Yuzhitang."
"I understand, Gang Leader."
Manager Wang nodded and said secretly that he would go out later and give orders immediately.
"Wait a minute!"
The three of them turned their heads together, only to see that the person speaking was the famous ruthless man.
"Disciple, what's wrong?"
""
Are you still embarrassed to ask me?
He was sure that his master was definitely not here for medicinal bathing. At that time, he asked him to accompany him without asking about the possibility of bathing with different formulas.
Hu Bu's gang leader.
After just sitting in the inner hall for a while, he suddenly changed his mind and did not tell his real purpose. Combined with the quarrels among the people in the outer hall, it must be related to the local gang.
Of course, the master didn't want to say it, and the apprentice couldn't say it either. The reason why he asked Guanshi Wang to stop him was because he didn't want to waste too much time on the medicinal bath.
"Gang Leader Li, can you take a shower continuously?"
"???"
Except for Fan Zhong, the other two people were dumbfounded. After a moment of surprise, both of them turned to look at Lao Fan, with an expression on their faces that you know your new disciple is so brave.
In this regard, Fan's expression did not change.
He himself has a deep understanding of how fierce his beloved disciple is.
The kind of liquid that would cause sudden death to an ordinary person after taking a bath can be swallowed with gritted teeth. Wouldn't it be easy to catch it just by taking a continuous bath?
"It doesn't matter, my disciple is naturally very resistant to pain. Manager Wang, I'm in trouble." As a master, he will naturally not make trouble, and if he is confident, he immediately agrees.
"good!"
Wang Long's mood was very complicated. If he hadn't known about Lao Fan's personality, he would have thought that the master and the disciple were deeply worried and resentful. After working as a manager for more than ten years, he often saw those who took continuous medicinal baths, and his body could not bear the pain.
, finally a person who follows the steps honestly.
"I think it's better to send someone to deliver a bucket every night." Gang leader Li intervened. His idea was very simple. Young people want to save face. If they can't hold on, it will be too damaging to their self-confidence.
Send someone to deliver a bucket every day. If you can't persist, you can dispose of it secretly and no one will know about it, and you can still save face. At best, you will lose some medicinal materials. For a big medicine gang, it is not much money.
"Thank you." Everyone present was a smart person, so how could you not hear the hidden meaning behind his words? The master and the apprentice accepted the favor and thanked him with their hands clasped in fists.
"Haha, don't say thank you between us." Gang Leader Li waved his hand and said with a bold smile.
The two old friends chatted for a few words before being interrupted by the gang members who suddenly came in.
The man leaned over and whispered in Gang Leader Li's ear, causing his expression to change slightly.
"Okay, you can go out."
Fan Zhong stood up hurriedly and said.
"Master and apprentice, we won't disturb you anymore, goodbye."
"Okay, let's talk about old times when we have time someday."
Manager Wang led the two of them out of the inner hall.
After a while, Wang Long, who was returning from seeing someone off, heard the gang leader's instructions in his ears.
"Find a few smart helpers to find out if there is anything disturbing happening in Lao Fan's house."
"yes."
After more than ten years of friendship between the two, could he, Lao Li, still see that the main purpose of Fan Zhong's visit today was not to take a medicinal bath at all?
He probably overheard the quarrel in the outer hall, so he had to give up and blame his apprentice.
On the carriage, He Zhao was about to ask, but was interrupted by his master.
"Don't ask, it's not something you should know."
Lao Fan raised his hand and choked back all the questions he wanted to ask.
Along the way, the master and the disciple were silent and returned to Yuzhitang.
Several patients came in early in the morning and sat waiting nearby.
So, the two men immediately began to treat him.
One is responsible for treatment, and the other is responsible for checking for deficiencies.
A day flies by in the blink of an eye.
Among the twenty-five patients, there was not a single intractable disease, and there was no chance to use the "Naqi Flow Injection Acupuncture Sutra". A total of 115 points of proficiency level were gained.
Standing at the door of the medicine hall, looking at the carriage going away, his eyes were filled with thoughts.
"Don't rush to explore for the time being. It's definitely not a trivial matter for Master to seek help from the Yaobang. Let me improve my strength first and then figure out the ins and outs."
To be fair, Lao Fan treated him like his own son. If he tried to hide from trouble, he would be very unhuman!
Unfortunately, the strength is not strong enough.
Today Fan Zhong talked about the current gang leaders of the three major gangs and the respective strengths of the old gang leaders, which made his slightly proud heart instantly return to normal.
"Hush!"
Before he could turn around, a carriage pulled up in front of the hall.
"Little sir."
A person got off the carriage, and it was none other than the bald leader named Wang San whom he had just met not long ago.
"discharge."
Two gang members took out a bucket from the car.
An ordinary person would not be able to lift it down.
But the two of them were strong and strong, and their bodies were full of tendons.
"Carry it to the room in the backyard."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the medicine hall and went straight to the backyard.
"Didn't you hear? Follow the little gentleman."
Wang San shouted to his two men and followed them hurriedly.
After a while, the three of them got into the carriage holding the empty bathtub.
In the room, He Zhao lowered his head and looked down at the dark green medicinal solution, lost in thought. Why were the medicinal bath recipes and the prepared medicinal solutions more oozing in color?
"never mind."
He took off his clothes, plopped his head and plunged into the tub.
Immediately afterwards, an unbearable and severe pain engulfed the figure.
