Chapter 201: Qinghe County Liu Family Pharmacy, Seeing Old Friends Again, Fighting
Liu Hexuan happened to be seeing patients in this clinic.
But it's on the second floor.
The second floor, like the private rooms in a restaurant, is specially prepared for warriors or patients with more serious injuries, and also provides "hospitalization" services.
When Chen Yushu saw the other party, there happened to be a warrior with injured waist and thigh who was holding the wall and slowly walking out.
"Chen Yushu, you're here?"
Seeing Chen Yushu, Liu Hexuan showed a look of surprise on his face, then he extended his hand slightly, motioning him to sit down, and said: "A few days ago, I received a letter from your master.
He mentioned that you had come to Qinghe County alone, but I haven't seen you come over yet, so I'm a little worried..."
“It did come a few days early.
It's just that something happened and I was delayed.
As soon as the matter was settled, I hurried over."
Chen Yushu also explained slightly and said.
"It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here.
The exam is today and it will start in three days.
Earlier, the third young lady had a conflict with the first wife in order to help you win the quota.
If you don't arrive in time, we won't be able to arrange for anyone, and even if we do, it won't be effective."
After all, the genius assessment is a test of personal strength.
It is the strength and means of the younger generation of warriors who have not yet entered the realm of internal strength.
If you don't have the corresponding strength, it will only be embarrassing to go.
In the previous few times, the Liu family had suffered successive defeats and had been at the bottom of the list in Qinghe County.
Naturally, they are at a great disadvantage in the competition for some resources within the county.
But genius is not something that can be easily found, and this is why, although the Liu family pharmacy is just a pharmacy, it attaches so much importance to the martial arts talent of its apprentices.
Liu Hexuan said, and quickly called the physician apprentice who had been following him, saying, "Go, invite the Third Young Lady over."
"yes!"
The man nodded quickly and couldn't help but look at Chen Yushu curiously.
The genius test is not something that ordinary people can participate in.
Can this person take part in the genius test?
But from the outside, there is nothing special about it.
Chen Yushu smiled but said nothing.
After all, he had previously wanted to obtain the inheritance of the Huangshan Patriarch's Yin-walking skills, so he would not hesitate to miss this genius assessment.
It's good enough that we can arrive in time.
"Yushu, have you found a place to stay?"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Hexuan asked again.
“Not really.
But this is easy. I can find a broker when the time comes and find a suitable place quickly."
Chen Yushu shook his head first, then said with a smile.
"What dental clinic are you looking for?
It just so happened that I had a yard in the east of the city, which was the ancestral home of my cousin's family. A few years ago, my cousin's family moved to the county town and asked me to help deal with it.
I've been so busy that I haven't had time to clean it up. It's a bit old, but it's spacious. You can just clean it up and move in directly."
Liu Hexuan shook his head and spoke directly.
"this……"
Chen Yushu was stunned and hesitated a little.
"You can take a look first. If you're not used to it, you can find another one yourself."
Liu Hexuan said with a smile.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Liu."
Hearing this, Chen Yushu had no choice but to bow and agree.
As he was speaking, a pretty woman in red walked in.
It was the third daughter of the Liu family pharmacy, Liu Qingyan.
Following closely behind him was another old acquaintance, the successor of the geomancer, Lu Yizi.
Judging from the rosy glow on their faces, the expressions between their eyebrows, and especially the third lady's headdress and many other details, it seems that the two of them have accomplished something good?
In addition to the two of them, there were two young warriors following behind them.
One is slightly tall, while the other has a well-balanced body. The energy and blood in their bodies are as vigorous as a small stove.
Obviously, they are all warriors who have reached the internal training level.
“Brother Chen.
I heard you were coming a long time ago.
This is the first time I’ve seen it.”
When Lu Yizi saw Chen Yushu, a smile appeared on his face and he spoke.
When they went to collect herbs, apart from himself, there was only Chen Yushu, a cultivator who practiced Yin-walking.
Especially during the final battle with the ghost lady, he was deeply impressed by Chen Yushu's endless talisman techniques.
Therefore, I feel somewhat close to him.
"I was delayed by something before, so I just came here now."
Chen Yushu explained, looked at the two of them, smiled, and said, "I haven't had time to congratulate Brother Lu yet."
"You're welcome."
Lu Yizi waved his hand.
"Are you Chen Yushu?"
But at this moment, the person standing behind Lu Yizi and Liu Qingyan suddenly spoke, but his tone was not so kind.
"Um?"
Chen Yushu had noticed the two of them a long time ago, especially the way they looked at him, which was full of vigilance and dissatisfaction. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It's me!"
“You know, the genius assessment is a matter of great importance.
Especially this time.
It also involves the management rights of our Liu family’s two medicine mountains.
Once we rank at the bottom, our two medicine mountains and three shops facing the street will have to be transferred.
Even within Qinghe County, its ranking would drop a level and be removed from the top five."
As the man spoke, he took a step forward and looked at Chen Yushu, his tone full of indignation.
"so what?"
Chen Yushu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"So, if you truly possess the ability, we will naturally respect you and allow you to participate in this genius assessment.
But if you don't have the strength to force it, I advise you not to harm the Third Miss, and not to harm the Liu family."
Immediately afterwards, another person also spoke up, seeming to be very dissatisfied with Chen Yushu, an apprentice from a small town, openly occupying a place in the genius assessment.
“Brother Yushu, this is actually my fault.
Last time, I discovered that you have extraordinary talent.
Afterwards, Shopkeeper Su suggested that you take part in this genius assessment. I was very happy and immediately secured a spot for you.
It's just because you haven't arrived yet.
We were also worried that no one would participate and we would be considered to have abstained, so we had to make preparations for both scenarios.
So, I secretly selected someone to take your place in this genius assessment..."
Seeing this, the third lady Liu Qingyan also felt a little embarrassed and had to stand up and speak with a stiff upper lip.
"These two, one named Xu Zhi and the other Zhang Ying, are both talented apprentices of the younger generation in our pharmacy.
He has a very good talent for martial arts.
If you had arrived earlier, the spot would have been yours without a doubt.
But now, they have already stood out from the other apprentices, and they are all elite apprentices from our third house, so I can’t be biased…”
Liu Qingyan looked at Chen Yushu and said so.
“No problem.
Let them take the talent test spot on this day.
It doesn’t matter to me whether I participate or not.”
Chen Yushu waved his hand and said calmly.
"Yushu, please don't act on impulse.
This assessment is of great importance.
In addition to the interests of the Liu family, it also concerns the admission quota to Yaowang Valley.
I think your master sent you here for your future.
So, please give me, Old Liu, some face. You can compete with them. If you win, I will make the decision for you. No matter who comes, no one can take away your spot.
Even if it's a tie, the spot is still yours.
But if we lose..."
Liu Hexuan quickly grabbed Chen Yushu and began to persuade him.
“Defeated.
Naturally, the quota is gone.”
Across from him, the apprentice named Xu Zhi said in a cold voice.
"Then let's compete."
Chen Yushu pondered for a moment. If it was just him, it really wouldn't matter, but it involved his master Su Ming... His master Su Ming had indeed taken great care of him before, and had indeed paid a lot for his place in the genius exam. It was really hard for him to give up easily.
So he nodded.
"good!"
Xu Zhi was delighted, and fearing that Chen Yushu would go back on his word, he quickly agreed.
So soon, a group of people moved to the backyard of the pharmacy.
There just happened to be a martial arts training ground in the backyard.
When they heard that a fight was about to take place in the backyard martial arts training ground, the surrounding apprentices suddenly became curious. While they did not have much work to do, they all came over. Soon, a group of people stood around the martial arts training ground.
Among them were some apprentices from the Liu family pharmacy, as well as patients with milder symptoms and some martial artists who came specifically to get and buy medicine.
curious.
It's human nature.
No one in the Liu family pharmacy drove outsiders away.
So when Chen Yushu stood in the middle of the field, the number of people watching around him had already reached dozens.
“Who is this person?
Xu Zhi and Zhang Ying are the best among our apprentices.
Especially Xu Zhi, it is said that he had already mastered the Medicine King Posture and Medicine King Locking Power, and his foundation was extremely solid.
If I hadn't cultivated for such a short time and hadn't yet reached the peak of inner cultivation, I probably wouldn't have needed to compete at all and would have been able to obtain a spot in this genius assessment."
Someone couldn't help but speak, and his eyes fell on Chen Yushu with scrutiny.
“Although Zhang Ying’s talent is somewhat lacking, he is the most diligent among our apprentices.
I would get up at four o'clock almost every day to practice martial arts.
He's a year younger than Xu Zhi, but I heard he won by a small margin the last time he fought Xu Zhi. If he hadn't been so weak, he would have won right away."
A person next to him spoke immediately, and seemed to have great respect for Zhang Ying.
"In my opinion, this position should be chosen between Xu Zhi and Zhang Ying.
I heard that man was from the small place called Jianghuan Town.
That place is remote and small, and I guess the people there are very limited.
Do you really think that just having a little talent can make you a genius?
I guess if we compare it with other medicine shops in our Liu family, it won’t even be in the top five, right?
Not to mention comparing with geniuses from other factions."
"genius?
Do you know what a genius is when you come from such a small place?"
…
A group of people were talking.
Although many people were not familiar with Chen Yushu, and Chen Yushu looked a little immature and young, they were not very familiar with him.
Naturally, it is not favored by most people.
"Chen Yushu, are you ready?"
Xu Zhi naturally heard the discussions in the crowd. A hint of pride flashed across his face, and then he quickly stepped forward and asked.
“Why should I prepare to deal with you?
Let's go together and save time."
Chen Yushu waved his hand and said casually.
“Together?
Aren't you a little too arrogant?"
When Xu Zhi heard this, anger flashed across his face, and then he snorted coldly.
“It’s okay to go one by one.
It's been a while since I've used martial arts against an enemy."
Chen Yushu didn't care and continued.
“Arrogant!”
"Be careful!"
Xu Zhi was furious, but he did not dare to be careless. He immediately took out his long sword, swung the sword, and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed. Under his control, the sword light showed two colors of light and dark.
When it was waved, it looked a little strange.
“Yin Yang Sword.
Senior Brother Xu Zhi had already mastered the Yin-Yang Sword technique. Not only were his sword techniques varied, but the long sword also flickered, making it difficult to predict. Even if one dodged the visible sword, it would be extremely difficult to dodge the hidden sword.
People will be caught unconsciously..."
An apprentice who was familiar with this sword technique couldn't help but speak.
“You’ve forgotten Brother Xu Zhi’s pace.
His Cloud Stepping Technique has also reached a minor level of perfection. When he steps on the ground, it feels like he is stepping on clouds. His movements are graceful and natural. Combined with the Yin-Yang Blade, ordinary people cannot resist it at all."
Another person spoke next.
As he explained, the people around who were just watching the fun all showed expressions of sudden realization.
Most people also believed that Xu Zhi had a great chance of winning this battle.
In their eyes, Chen Yushu was just an apprentice from a small place, a clown who wanted to pass the genius test to raise his own value.
He is bound to be defeated by Xu Zhi.
While they were discussing, Xu Zhi's attack came.
After taking a few steps in the Stepping Clouds, he was close to Chen Yushu and swung two swords, one bright and one dark.
Seeing that Chen Yushu had not made any move until this point, a trace of contempt flashed across Xu Zhi's face.
Taking the genius test with such reaction speed? Wouldn't that be a disgrace to our Liu Family Pharmacy?
I still have to replace him myself to avoid such an ugly defeat.
Thinking this in his mind, he tilted his knife slightly, but he didn't want to hurt the other person directly.
After all, although the two are competitors, they do not have any deep hatred. When fighting, it is better not to hurt anyone if possible.
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that Chen Yushu moved.
The movement was not big. The opponent just stepped slightly to the side, then stretched out one hand and lightly touched his knife.
"Touching the knife with your bare hands? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The thought just flashed through Xu Zhi's mind.
Suddenly, he felt an unrivaled power coming from his hand holding the hilt of the knife.
This force was too strong, like a surging river, sweeping over him. When the force was transmitted, it made his arms numb, and even his knuckles cracked slightly.
He suddenly couldn't hold on any longer and subconsciously let go of the hand holding the knife.
With a clang sound.
The long sword fell to the ground.
When he looked up again, he felt a chill on his neck, and then he felt a burning pain.
Above his neck.
I don't know when a red mark appeared.
