Although Qi Xuansu was frightened, he first returned to the bed, put on his boots, and then took out his two swords and inspected them carefully. Since he entered Xiang's house, the "Dragon Hand Gun" and "Qingyuan" have never left his side.
, only the two swords passed through the hands of outsiders.
After Qi Xuansu confirmed that there was no problem with the two swords, he took out an antidote pill and took it. This antidote pill did not have a very profound name. Even Qi Xuansu didn't know what its official name should be. It was usually called an antidote pill, but it was very simple.
It is easy to use. Not only can it detoxify hundreds of poisons, it can also deal with most of the drugs in the world. If it is used, it can detoxify, but if it is not, it can prevent it.
The key point is that it is very cheap. Each pill only costs one peace coin, and Qiniang sells it to Qi Xuansu. According to Qiniang, in the past, this kind of medicine was indeed very expensive, and it was hard to get hundreds of dollars. However, after Huashengtang established mass production
, the cost plummeted, and eventually it became a piece of peace money.
The reason is also very simple. It takes the same time to cultivate one medicinal plant alone as to cultivate hundreds of acres of medicinal materials. A huge pill furnace that can refine a thousand pills per furnace can open the furnace to refine one pill.
The time and cost required to refining medicine and refining a thousand pills are the same. There are also various auxiliary materials, and the demand is large. Huashengtang, as the buyer, has a strong voice and can naturally lower the price. Therefore
After Huashengtang established mass production, the cost was diluted and the price also dropped.
This is not only true for this elixir, but also for other elixirs. Huashengtang expands production, thereby reducing costs, and seizes the market at low prices. Because there is a new market, it continues to expand production, thus forming a virtuous cycle.
Under such circumstances, Huashengtang naturally "conquered cities and conquered territory" all the way, and was invincible. Many small workshops were no match for them, and they were defeated one after another. They either became vassals of Huashengtang or perished.
Nowadays, so-called miraculous doctors are rare. Everyone knows that if you are seriously injured or have other problems, you don’t need to search around the world for miraculous doctors. You can go directly to the Taoist Huasheng Hall. As long as you have money, most of them can save you.
To save a life, if Huashengtang can't save it, then it's hard to save the immortal, so you can prepare for the funeral with peace of mind.
In the imperial court, there was an Imperial Medical Office, but it was not open to everyone. It only served the dignitaries and officials. There were many people in the Huasheng Hall who coveted the treatment of the Imperial Medical Office and jumped to the Imperial Medical Office. In addition, the Imperial Medical Office had
With the strong support of the royal family and sufficient financial resources, they can purchase various precious elixirs or other precious things such as "auxiliary hearts" from Huashengtang. Their level is also quite high. In the past hundred years, there has never been a case where half of the ten children died in infancy.
However, manpower is superior but poor. Many elixirs can indeed have an effect that is close to bringing the dead back to life. As long as there is still a breath of life, they can be saved. However, most of these elixirs are very powerful and cannot be used by people with lower cultivation levels.
Unlike poison, you will die if you swallow it. You must have enough cultivation to withstand the power of the medicine. Therefore, even if there are Huasheng Hall and Imperial Medical Office, mortals cannot escape life, old age, illness and death. If you want to live forever, you still have to start from the acquired person step by step and go through the innate person.
Only those people, heavenly beings, can become immortal immortals.
After Qi Xuansu took the elixir, he felt a little more at ease.
In fact, there are roughly two types of dirty tricks in the world.
One is charming and mental. After being attacked, you will either fall asleep, be limp, or have frequent hallucinations. This method is not very effective for warriors and alchemists. Warriors are physically strong and want to charm warriors.
The required amount of medicine must be weighed by the pound. If it is drunk in wine, it will take at least dozens of pounds of wine, which is too unrealistic. The alchemist separates the soul from the body and regards the skin as clothing. Even if the body is limp and weak, the soul can still come out.
orifice.
One is to directly poison people. Whether they are banished immortals, Qi refiners, or Sanren, they can be temporarily suppressed through true energy.
Of course, there are methods that neither heaven nor man can resist, but the price is so high that no one can afford it. It is cheaper to hire an assassin at an "inn" than this.
Qi Xuansu thought that since he had the physique of a martial artist in the Yuxu stage and had taken the antidote, there should be no problem. After all, it was a small place and his methods were quite limited. If Qi Xuansu had misjudged it, there was really no need to hide some master.
Use these despicable means.
Qi Xuansu arranged his clothes, put his swords back on his waist, and checked his weapons again.
Short sword "Qingyuan", "Shenlong Handgun", seven rounds of "Dragon Eyes Yi2", fifteen rounds of "Dragon Eyes Yi3", two "Fengyan Yi3", and twenty rounds of ordinary armor-piercing projectiles.
These are all powerful weapons for killing people, but they are much inferior to dealing with ghosts and the like.
In this regard, the alchemists who draw talismans to control ghosts are experts.
Although the warrior's blood energy can restrain the ghosts and ghosts, he can only defend passively, just like a lamp can only wait for the moths to pounce on it, but cannot actively look for the moths on its own.
As for casual people, they dabble in a little bit of everything and are not proficient in anything.
Qi Xuansu took a deep breath and wanted to leave overnight, but was afraid of disturbing the situation. He just wanted to survive the night and leave early tomorrow morning without revealing any flaws.
As a result, Qi Xuansu naturally couldn't sleep. He blew out the lights and sat down on the bed with his hands on his weapons.
When it was midnight, Qi Xuansu suddenly opened his eyes and heard only a very slight sound coming from the window.
The sound was getting closer and closer, rustling, not like human footsteps.
Not long after, a shadow appeared outside the window. Fortunately, the moonlight was bright tonight. It was bright outside but dark inside. I could vaguely see that it was a human figure, and she had a slim figure, resembling a woman.
Qi Xuansu had already used his yin and yang eyes and discovered that the figures outside were not ghosts and ghosts. They not only had yang energy, but also had heavy energy. This made him relax a little, but he still remained vigilant.
This is strange. Since there are no ghosts, why would someone write talismans to ward off ghosts on the walls of the house?
At this moment, the figure outside actually raised his hand and knocked lightly on the window.
Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment, brewing his feelings for a while, then pretended to be still dazed after being woken up by someone, and said in a vague voice: "Who is it?"
"Master, are you asleep?" A delicate voice came from the window.
Qi Xuansu deliberately made a rustling sound similar to getting up and putting on his clothes, pretending to gradually wake up, and his voice became clearer: "Is something wrong?"
The woman outside the window said: "The night is very cold. I am worried that the military master will catch a cold, so I asked me to bring another brocade quilt over to keep him warm."
Although she has not been seen, the woman's voice is extremely charming, as if it has a hook.
In the middle of the night, the brocade quilt is warm, and the woman has a charming voice. Naturally, it is easy for a man who is just at the beginning of his life to have wild thoughts.
However, Qi Xuansu became tense. As the saying goes, being courteous for nothing is a traitor or a thief. I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
Qi Xuansu was silent for another moment, pretending to be a bit uncontrollable: "I'm used to living in tents, the door is open, you just come in."
"Okay..." The figure outside the door responded softly, and the word "Okay" with a deliberately long pronunciation was suddenly pronounced in three tones, and then made a rustling sound and opened the door to come in.
There was no lamp in the room, so I could only vaguely see Qi Xuansu sitting on the bed.
"Why don't you hold the lamp, Lord Jun?" The woman seemed to be holding something in her arms and put it aside casually after entering the door.
Qi Xuansu said softly: "What are you doing holding a lamp? Everyone is just trying to make ends meet."
"Master Jun...you..." the woman covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, "You are so old-fashioned. This kind of thing is more interesting than lighting a lamp."
As she said this, the woman was about to light the lamp.
Qi Xuansu didn't stop her and let her light the lamp.
A thousand-year darkroom. Suddenly a light turns on. The darkness immediately goes out. The light is everywhere.
The light illuminated the whole room.
The woman saw a well-dressed man sitting on the bed, holding the weapon on his waist with both hands, his eyebrows sharp and murderous.
