After sending away the few guests, Valley Manor became completely quiet...
"Third brother, aren't you too lonely?"
Seeing a huge and empty manor, Chen Xiong couldn't help complaining: "It's not popular, and it's not interesting to live here!"
Ouch...
At this moment, a tiger roar suddenly came from the forest behind the manor.
Chen Xiong trembled and turned a little pale. Seeing Chen Ying's funny face, he said angrily: "There are also ferocious birds and beasts, who dares to live there?"
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
Chen Ying said with a smile: "This place is in the wilderness. Before the manor was built, how could I have too many people?"
Seeing Chen Xiong's confusion, he continued: "Didn't I ask the mistress for a lot of low-level craftsmen before? They will live here then!"
"I'm afraid they won't be happy!"
"Then it's not up to them!"
Chen Xiong was very curious about the novel hydraulic mechanism in the manor and played with it for a long time. Then at the urging of his uncle Zhao Ranruo, he reluctantly left.
Although he said he was very disgusted, in his heart he was very envious and said that when he turned fifteen, he would definitely build a manor outside the city for fun.
"Do you have any money?"
Chen Ying said with a smile: "If you don't have 81,000 taels of silver, don't even think about such a good thing!"
"Where did Third Brother get the money?"
Chen Xiong was very unconvinced and said that he could ask his mother for help.
"You make money by selling medicine!"
While talking, Chen Ying took out a delicate small porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it directly to Zhao Ranruo who was silent, and said with a smile: "This is the bear bile pill I brewed. The effect is quite good. It can help the fourth brother to connect the two."
Eight extraordinary meridians!"
Zhao Ranruo was very surprised and didn't believe it: "Really?"
"Otherwise, Uncle Zhao would think that why those guys from the investigation team came here so actively? Didn't they just want to buy medicine?"
Chen Ying smiled lightly and said: "You haven't entered the hinterland of the Snowy Mountains. The ferocious birds and beasts there have mutated, and they are stronger than Uncle Zhao. The pills I brewed with their flesh and blood are still effective!"
Zhao Ranruo didn't know what to say for a moment...
He also remembered the unconcealable joy when the guys from the investigation team saw the pharmaceutical workshop on the ground floor of the manor's stone building.
I was full of doubts before, but now I am still unclear?
"You boy, you are really versatile!"
Zhao Ranruo was speechless and said with a smile: "I really don't understand why Zhenbei Gong doesn't pay attention to a talent like you?"
If it were in the Zhao family, he would have been trained as the core of the family long ago.
Chen Xiong is interested in this, because his cultivation talent is really great, and the Zhao family is very interested in cultivating it, otherwise Aunt Zhao would not want Chen Xiong to go to the Zhao family after he is fifteen.
"Third brother, if you have any good things in the future, don't forget me!"
Chen Xiong's eyes were bright and he said with a smile: "If there are too many of these bear bile pills, I will take them all!"
"Do you have that much money?"
Chen Ying rolled her eyes and said angrily: "I want to make a fortune from this!"
"what price?"
This time, it was Zhao Ranruo who asked, and he also had some thoughts in his mind.
Even if the bear gallbladder pills given by Chen Ying are not as effective as expected, as long as they can help quickly connect one of the eight extraordinary meridians, it will be a great benefit.
He was also greedy. The "Thunder Heart Technique" he practiced had been stuck in the fifth extraordinary meridian and eight meridians for several years, so he said anxiously.
With the arrival of the investigation team, a lot of Qi masters suddenly appeared in the top management of Beidi, all of whom had reached the acquired state of cultivating the Eight Meridians.
I heard that the number of strong men in the army has also experienced explosive growth recently.
Although most of the generals in the army practice internal martial arts and pure hard skills, their strength cannot be underestimated.
Zhao Ranruo, a direct descendant of the Zhao family, felt great pressure...
If the elixir made by Chen Ying was indeed helpful for cultivation, he would have to think about it carefully.
"A bottle of bear bile pills costs two thousand taels, no bargaining!"
Chen Ying was not polite and said directly: "As for the other pills, once they are obtained, they will be sold at a clear price!"
"Two thousand taels for a bottle, third brother, you are robbing money!"
Chen Xiong opened his eyes wide and jumped: "This is too dark!"
"You'll know if it's black or not after you try it!"
Chen Ying said disapprovingly: "When the bubble medicine pills here get on the right track and become famous, I will raise the price!"
After sending away the uncles and nephews Zhao Ranruo and Chen Xiong, the entire valley manor was really empty except for the retired border army guards invited.
But he didn't feel deserted at all, instead he was full of fighting spirit.
"Third Young Master, several of our brothers worked together to hunt down the leopard that was wandering nearby. How about you go and take a look?"
At this time, Zhang San, the retired frontier army leader who had been invited earlier, came over with a smile on his face and said tentatively: "Didn't the third young master say..."
"Don't worry, if it is really the mutated leopard, we will buy it at five times the market price!"
Chen Ying looked calm and waved his hand to signal the man to lead the way. He wanted to go over and see the condition of the leopard.
I really didn’t expect that on the first day of opening Valley Manor, there would be a harvest.
"Okay, okay, Third Young Master, please come with me..."
Zhang San was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly led the way to the small river not far from the outer wall of the manor. He pointed at the leopard carcasses guarded by several arrogant men and said: "Third Young Master, that's the leopard!"
Chen Ying was not polite and strode over, ignoring the respectful salutes of the retired frontier men. He walked up to the dead leopard, looked at it carefully for a moment and nodded with satisfaction: "It's a mutated leopard!"
Zhang San suddenly beamed with joy, he was going to make a lot of money this time...
"Has all the blood on the leopard been drained? Didn't you get a bamboo tube or a gourd or something to catch it?"
However, Chen Ying was a little dissatisfied. She pointed at the mangled leopard body and asked, "Didn't I remind you?"
Zhang San immediately grimaced and said helplessly: "I forgot for a moment, that third young master..."
"Forget it, let's see you hunt a mutant leopard for the first time. I'll give you five times the purchase price of an ordinary leopard. I hope you'll pay attention next time!"
Chen Ying waved her hand and said directly: "Smuggle this leopard body over and go directly to the accounting room to get the money!"
Great!
Zhang San was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly asked a few brothers to lift up the mutated leopard body. He followed Chen Ying into the basement of the stone building in the inner courtyard of the manor, placed it on a table specially used for dissection, and then happily took the money and left.
Chen Ying ignored the others and carefully inspected the mutated leopard's body again, with a satisfied smile on his face.
According to Zhang San and his team's words, as well as his careful inspection, it can be determined that this is a mutated leopard whose strength is comparable to that of a dark warrior.
Compared with ordinary leopards, it is more than two times larger in size. Its fur is smooth and tough, and its muscles and bones are not comparable to ordinary leopards.
It's a pity that all the blood in the body was lost, otherwise Chen Ying could brew thousands of Huabao Blood Qi Pills. Although the effect is not as good as the Bear Gallbladder Pills, it is also a good thing for nourishing blood and Qi, and increasing the strength of muscles, bones and organs.
A bottle of ten pills can be sold for 1,800 taels anyway. It’s a great price!
However, the leopard qi pills that can be brewed from the most essence of the mutated leopard's muscles, bones and organs are also quite good and should be particularly effective in Qi cultivation.
In the next half month, most of Chen Ying's energy was spent on brewing Leopard Qi Pills, purchasing a large number of precious herbs as auxiliary materials, and using the special furnace in the medicine refining workshop on the underground floor of the stone building to open the
A long but energy-consuming process of refining the medicine.
The investigation team and the team sent their confidants to the manor early to keep an eye on it, and immediately learned that Chen Ying was brewing unknown pills with the help of a mutated leopard corpse.
Immediately after hearing the news, they secretly prepared money and planned to snap up the pills as soon as Chen Ying sold them.
At the same time, during this period, Chen Xiong had directly connected two extraordinary meridians and eight meridians through a bottle of ten bear bile pills sent by Chen Ying. He was immediately delighted and admired Chen Ying's pharmaceutical methods.
.
As the saying goes, those who are near the water, first get the moon, every time this guy comes home from school, he will pester Chen Ying to do something, and he seems to be relying on Chen Ying.
The purpose, of course, is to get more Bear Gall Pills. His current cultivation level has just penetrated two of the eight extraordinary meridians, so he naturally wants to penetrate more meridians at once.
If you rely on your own cultivation, it will take at least three to five years to reach this point. This is when various precious resources are constantly replenished, otherwise it will only be slower.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The difficulty of penetrating the eight extraordinary meridians is completely different from that of the twelve regular meridians.
It's just that Chen Xiong's cultivation talent is excellent. Without one to two years of accumulation, it is simply wishful thinking to achieve a breakthrough.
Not to mention, it becomes more difficult to penetrate the eight extra meridians as you go to the back.
When it comes to the second line of Ren and Du, being stuck for ten or twenty years is not a big deal at all. Some people are stuck for a lifetime.
At the moment, the pills Chen Ying has brewed can actually shorten the accumulation process greatly, so Chen Xiong will not miss it given his temperament.
"The bear gallbladder pills are gone, but I have brewed a batch of leopard gas pills recently. Just prepare the money by then!"
Chen Ying said angrily: "Don't be so playful with me. It's not like you don't know my situation. If I don't have some extra income, I won't be able to survive. If you don't want to let me go, there's nothing you can do!"
By the way, Chen Xiong and his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, concealed Chen Ying's knowledge of refining medicine quite thoroughly. Until now, the mistress of the palace has not heard the slightest news. This is why Chen Ying is willing to open the door of convenience with this boy Chen Xiong.
, otherwise who will care about you...
"That guy, the third child, really knows how to do business!"
When Aunt Zhao heard the news, although she felt unhappy, she had no choice but to take out her dowry money.
Just when everyone was waiting eagerly for it, one morning half a month later, a notice for the sale of 'Leopard Qi Pills' suddenly appeared on the bulletin board on the inner wall of the Valley Manor...
