A Feng Shui Master’s Guide to Cultivation

Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.

When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...

Chapter 98 Li and Zhou

Xi Yunting paused, and Chen Xiao quickly said, "If Big Brother is willing to talk to him, this person must be extraordinary. It is rare to see him before, so I can't help but be curious."

Xi Yunting sighed slowly, and his tense shoulders relaxed unconsciously as he moved. He said to Chen Xiao, "He is indeed a...strange man. His name is Li Yuzhou, and he is an alchemist. If you happen to meet him in the commercial district, I will introduce him to you, Xiao."

Chen Xiao hummed, and seeing that Xi Yunting didn't seem to want to say more, he obediently stopped asking. Seeing this, Xi Yunting was relieved. If Xiaodi asked how the two knew each other, Xi Yunting would be embarrassed and unable to speak. Li and Zhou were the ones who were unfortunately implicated by bad luck and assisted him when he killed the Yuanying attacker.

Li and Zhou were testing a new formula that time. Although the failure rate was high, the furnace would not necessarily explode at that time. However, once Xi Yunting launched the Misfortune Offensive, the furnace exploded without exception. With Xi Yunting's reminder, Li and Zhou managed to escape to the suburbs in time and were not affected by the civil unrest caused by the Zhong family. Later, when the situation in Hanshan City calmed down, he returned.

No matter where you are, you need strong capital to conduct scientific research and make new attempts. It happened that Li Yuzhou's family was not very rich, and the attempt of the new formula consumed his savings. After the furnace exploded, there was no money left to purchase materials. Li Yuzhou wanted to find a temporary job in the commercial district to make some money. His rank was not low, and alchemists knew the most about herbs. He could get a good salary by sitting in a place selling herbs on the commercial street for a while.

It was a pity that Li Yuzhou was a genuine homebody with communication barriers, and he couldn't open his mouth no matter what. He could only wander outside the herbal medicine hall in a somewhat desolate manner. At this time, Xi Yunting appeared.

Xi Yunting accidentally heard from Tong Nuonuo and Du Rong at the banquet that Chen Xiao had taken some beast hair. The City Lord's Mansion storehouse was very large, and it was the first time that Tong Nuonuo saw so many precious materials at the same time, so it was inevitable that he had a deep memory. At this time, he was chatting with Du Rong and recounted what he and Chen Xiao had gained. Chen Xiao only asked for various papers and beast hair, which was really mediocre. Tong Nuonuo quickly skipped it and boasted with great joy that he had taken this opportunity to collect many rare materials.

The speaker may not mean anything, but the listener may take it seriously. Xi Yunting remembered it immediately. After thinking about it again, he realized that Chen Xiao probably wanted to make a brush with the hair. He took the opportunity to look for it in the commercial street while delivering the blueprint to City Lord Han, so that he could save time for Xiaodi.

Of course, Master Xi was judging others purely by his own experience. He felt that he liked to buy things and leave, and was impatient to walk back and forth from store to store. Chen Xiao should be the same. He never thought that if Chen Xiao preferred the process of searching, he would end his pleasure.

Li Yuzhou had a very good memory, and was stunned when he saw Xi Yunting. Xi Yunting's memory was naturally not bad either, and he looked at him with some surprise, obviously recognizing him. Li Yuzhou was like meeting a savior, ignoring the cold aura emanating from Xi Yunting, and came over to talk.

Xi Yunting was very patient with the victims who were undoubtedly affected by him. In the past, he was also happy to make compensation, but unfortunately the victims avoided him as much as possible and no one was willing to accept his kindness. Over time, Xi Yunting got used to walking away quietly. Not making the other party more unlucky was the greatest help he could give to the other party.

The conversation between the God of Home and the Man of Home was straightforward. After a brief conversation, they knew each other's intentions. Xi Yunting knew that Li Yuzhou would fail, so he wanted to help him. There was also the Han family's business on the commercial street, so Xi Yunting found the person in charge and asked him to introduce Li Yuzhou to a job as a waiter in a herbal medicine hall.

The Han family had become a vassal of Chongxuan, so the Han family's subordinates naturally followed Xi Yunting's orders. It was just a small matter, and there was no need to ask for permission from the general manager Han, the person in charge of the industry handled it neatly.

In order to return the favor, Li and Zhou asked Xi Yunting to take a rest and went to inquire. They found out that the best pen maker in the commercial district was not in this area, but on the ordinary side.

The two of them only interacted casually this time and did not become friends. However, Li and Zhou were able to come over and talk to him despite his momentum, so Xi Yunting didn't know whether he was very courageous or simply didn't know how to read the situation.

Xi Yunting always kept his word. Since he said he would introduce the two to each other, he took Chen Xiao to the herbal medicine hall first. Li and Zhou were sitting here. He and Xi Yunting had met twice before, and the third time was considered an acquaintance in the eyes of the God of House. He greeted Xi Yunting very casually: "Fellow Daoist Xi, we meet again. Are you here to get medicine this time? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xi Yunting said calmly: "No, it's just that my brother Xiao is a little curious about you, so I brought him here to meet you."

Chen Xiao barely pulled the corners of his mouth, feeling a little disappointed with Xi Yunting's emotional intelligence. It was not strange that he could not make friends. Even if he said that he would come to visit him when he passed by, it would be nice!

Li and Zhou were no better than me. They asked directly if someone was coming to get medicine when they first met. If someone asked if someone was coming, wouldn't that be like cursing someone?

The two of them did not feel any communication barriers, but continued the conversation smoothly. Xi Yunting introduced Li Yuzhou to Chen Xiao, and introduced him to Li Yuzhou as his brother Xiao. Li Yuzhou said to Chen Xiao very straightforwardly: "So it's Xiao's brother, since this is our first meeting, you can just call me Brother Yuzhou."

This made Xi Yunting frown immediately, and he felt a little uneasy. Li and Zhou were too good at going with the flow. How long did it take him to call him brother Xiao? Chen Xiao smiled. Since he recognized Xi Yunting as his elder brother, calling someone else by that name would indirectly connect them. He was worried that Xi Yunting would feel unhappy, so he lightly skipped the question of address and asked curiously, "What is the difference between a pharmacist and an alchemist?"

Li Yuzhou was easily diverted. He explained to Chen Xiao in detail: "The biggest difference between a pharmacist and an alchemist is the use and control of the furnace fire and the application of the finished medicine. The finished medicine of a pharmacist is often in powder form, while the finished medicine of an alchemist is usually in pill form."

Chen Xiao suddenly realized and asked, "So the powder used to repel snakes and insects during the previous training was made by the pharmacist?"

Li Yuzhou nodded proudly, "That's right. Alchemists have made great contributions during the training. Many targeted medicinal powders were created by alchemists."

Unlike alchemists who focus more on internal consumption and targeting the practitioners themselves, pharmacists focus more on the external environment and can dispel or even attack it. For example, the poisonous smoke that Xi Yunting was hit by before was also made by a pharmacist.

Unlike some high-ranking alchemists, pharmacists are more down-to-earth. Each of them knows how to treat all kinds of diseases of ordinary people, and even some difficult and complicated diseases of practitioners. Many of the masters of injuries and illnesses in the world of immortal cultivation are pharmacists.

After Chen Xiao learned about it, he immediately became interested in the products made by the pharmacist. With Li and Zhou's introduction and recommendation, he bought a lot of medicinal powder.
