Chapter 165
165 He earned sixty coins early in the morning and personally escorted Pei Dafa out of the Taoist temple. When Gao Yuan came back, he still had an unstoppable smile on his face.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. With these sixty cents as a foundation, it proves that today is a good day.
When he entered the backyard and saw his disciple still guarding the stove, he immediately asked him to clean it up: "Disciple, why are you daydreaming? The charcoal fire in the stove is out. Take it to my room."
"Were you refining medicine just now?"
Looking up at his master and feeling that his movements were too avant-garde, Xiang Jiannan asked without moving.
Even the mold is used. The old Taoist priest is really a master at hiding his secrets.
Was the so-called Qingxin Pills sold to Mr. Li before also made in this way?
You know what, even though the soup poured into the mold had impurities, the finished product still looked pretty good.
The pills sold to Pei Dafa were all red, and when they were placed in his hand, they still seemed to be warm.
When I get home, I can take it orally.
"Yes, I am used to calling it alchemy."
Nodding to Xiang Jiannan, Gao Yuan immediately spoke: "It is inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises in life. The elixir that I, the old Taoist priest, refine is aimed at these problems. Needless to say, the effect is very good."
Seeing the master speaking in an official tone and looking at the remaining pills still in the mold, Xiang Jiannan felt something was wrong.
This was not the impression he had of alchemy. Pills and elixirs, the two were inseparable?
"Where did you get the things you took out before?"
At this moment, he wanted to go into his master's room to take a look. Thinking back to the dead branches and leaves he took out, Xiang Jiannan had no impression of them in his mind.
He had entered his master's room more than once or twice, and he thought he knew quite well what was in the old Taoist's room.
How come I have never seen those things before? "I collected them when I was free. Do you want to see them?"
"If you want to make pills, you must lay a solid foundation. There are several books on pharmacology in my room. You can take them out and read them when you have nothing to do."
“Let’s start by learning about herbs.”
"No need, let's talk about it when we have time."
Xiang Jiannan had no idea where the so-called pharmacological records of his master were, and he had no interest in them at the moment, so he directly refused.
I have barely grasped the threshold of the records about Taoism, and if I suddenly change my career, I will definitely not be able to understand it. There is no need to waste time for nothing.
Right now, it is more important to improve my own cultivation. Although I have been reading scriptures again recently, I feel that I have gained less and less.
"That's fine. Seeing that your realm has not improved for so long, it's really inappropriate to turn to pharmacology."
Bending down, he picked up the pills on the ground one by one, put them next to his nose and smelled them. Xiang Jiannan saw pride on his master's face.
"If Pei Da hadn't sent it earlier, I might not have been interested in getting this."
"My disciple, remember this: pills are good, but you must not forget to practice."
What do you mean? I have never eaten the pills you made.
Not understanding why the master suddenly said that, Xiang Jiannan stood up and walked to his side, and stretched out his hand to take a pill.
It has completely cooled down and feels light in my hand. What effect does this pill have? According to Pei Dafa's experience, it can be used to treat wrist pain. The effect of this medicine is too accurate.
"What effect does this thing have?"
Holding the pill and looking at his master, Xiang Jiannan immediately asked.
He is still puzzled by the old Taoist's sudden behavior. How could he suddenly start making elixirs? He had never seen him do such a thing before and could not remember it.
"Naturally it strengthens the body and prolongs life."
"What else?"
"I don't know about the other teachers."
"Master, aren't you afraid of eating bad people?"
"I, a Taoist priest, have been refining pills for so many years, how could I possibly worry about this."
Pei Dafa appeared again at noon. The pills he brought back really took effect quickly. He came to express his gratitude to the old Taoist priest.
As soon as he entered the temple, he showed the fingerprints on his face that had not yet disappeared, and said to the two Taoists happily: "My husband's wrist doesn't hurt anymore. The old Taoist's medicine is really effective."
"Sell me the remaining three as well."
The sudden shout made the other pilgrims in the temple curious. They came closer and asked him, "What medicine is this? Did the mayor buy it from the old Taoist priest?"
"Does Ping An Temple still sell this kind of stuff?"
"Give me one, too."
"Everyone, medicine is not something you can take casually. What are you doing here?"
Pei Dafa rolled his eyes and thought his voice was too loud. Gao Yuan could only calm everyone down first. Xiang Jiannan just didn't believe the expression of his refusal to sell medicine. Thinking that such a good opportunity, how could the Taoist give up.
"The remaining few are for others. We'll talk about it when we have the chance in the future."

After he finished speaking, he saw the master diverting everyone's attention and directing them to the master again: "You all look very strong. Forcing the medicine on you will be bad."
"The old Taoist priest will be busy preparing lunch in a while, so hurry up if you want to burn incense."
I really didn’t sell a single one.
After seeing everyone off, the old Taoist priest did not go into the backyard to prepare lunch as Xiang Jiannan had expected. He and Xiang Jiannan sat at the dining table.
The Taoist temple had decent attendance in the first half of the day, and the income was just enough to make ends meet.
Sitting next to the wooden table, Xiang Jiannan couldn't help laughing when he saw his master eating.
"Why don't you sell the remaining three pills?"
"Master, you are not keeping it for other purposes, are you?"
Feeling that his guess was unlikely and realizing that the three pills might be more precious, Xiang Jiannan did not think too much about it when he spoke.
Today was the first time I saw the master refining the elixir. I had no impression of it in my mind. I can only say that the elixir he refined was very precious.
It is so precious that I am reluctant to refine it.
Although I felt that the materials the master had used before were ordinary, and the alchemy he talked about was completely different from what I imagined, this did not mean that what I thought would be the same as the appearance of the three pills.
What if he had a change of heart and gave it to Pei Dafa under the guise of giving thirty cents?
The master is a very wise man. Some things will never be done so obviously.
"Master's elixirs are only given to those who are destined to receive them. Besides, there is no point in taking medicine if you are not sick or have no disasters."
"It's not convenient to have Pei Dafa around."
"Why?"
Thinking that Pei Dafa could just serve as a publicity stunt, and that his master probably didn't want to sell all the remaining three pills to him, Xiang Jiannan felt that he understood. The old Taoist wanted to treat everyone equally, but was embarrassed to refuse Pei Dafa, so he could only not sell any and wait until the next opportunity.
"Thirty cents is too cheap. It's hard to raise the price in front of Pei Dafa."
"The price I gave him was all based on our friendship."
Friendly price, it turns out this old Taoist wanted to raise the price.
Feeling disdainful of Gao Yuan's good intentions, Xiang Jiannan swallowed his food in big gulps and suddenly thought of a question.
The elixirs in the novel can help with spiritual practice. Can the master do the same?
Can you make a pill with this effect? I have asked him before.
My mind is getting more and more confused... I hope it will pass soon
What does this say...
