Chapter 55 Xingren Tang Evil-Repelling Pill
Chapter 55 Xingren Tang Evil-Repelling Pill
Unlike other shops that were under strict security, the front door of Xingrentang remained open as usual and no one was allowed in or out.
A young man in blue clothes held a copper pot and poured medicine on the ground to drive away mosquitoes flying from afar.
Zhou You walked to the door, which aroused his vigilance, "A guest is coming in?"
Zhou You patted the bag on his back and said, "I heard that Xingrentang is a century-old brand, so I came here to buy some medicine."
"Hold on."
The young man in blue turned around and walked away with such a brisk pace that Zhou You was surprised.
This person has a solid foundation in boxing martial arts, and is at the same level of strength as him.
The staff of a drug store are all of this level. No wonder they have the confidence to open the door wide and the wounded around them dare not get close.
"Miss, we have guests."
"I saw that his steps were heavy. He must have been carrying dozens of kilograms of silver. He must be a big fat sheep."
Zhou You's face turned a little dark. You guys are really not shy about it. You say this in front of me.
A burst of medicinal fragrance came towards them, and the "young lady" walked to the front in a hurry, "Where is the guest?"
When Zhou You first saw the other person, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to see such a stunningly beautiful girl in the pharmacy.
The surrounding environment is brightened!
"My daughter Hua Youxing, my father is away on a long trip, so I'm temporarily taking over the position of the innkeeper. Is this customer here to see a doctor or to buy medicine?"
Hua Youxing has a bright and elegant appearance, and her every frown and smile makes people feel good about her.
She saw the wooden sign on Zhou You's waist and smiled, "So you are an apprentice of Jianxiong Martial Arts School."
"I have two recommendations. For wound treatment, there's Zijin ointment. For strengthening your body, you can choose tiger bone wine."
The young man in blue brought two samples, tiger bone wine and purple gold paste.
Tiger bone wine is packed in fist-sized wine jars. Although it is sealed with mud, it still emits a faint aroma of wine.
As for the purple gold ointment, it was sealed in a porcelain bottle that was only a finger long and looked familiar.
Zhou You remembered that the medicine Li Hao applied to him when he was injured was in the same packaging.
It turns out that the name of the medicine for wounds is Zijin Gao.
This medicine is quite effective. It stops bleeding and leaves no residue. Carry 2 or 3 bottles with you in case of emergency.
For people who practice martial arts, bumps and bruises are common, so medicine is a must-buy.
As for tiger bone wine...
"Du He, give the guest a drop to taste."
One drop of tiger bone wine is too little, so you can only taste the approximate flavor.
After Zhou You tasted the tiger bone wine, he closed his eyes and savored it for a moment, then made an assessment in his mind.
The medicinal strength of tiger bone wine is much stronger than that of tiger bone paste, but far inferior to the tiger life-changing pill.
Now that Zhou You has become a regular employee, he applies tiger bone ointment once every three days, but due to drug resistance, the improvement to his health is minimal.
The Tiger Life-changing Pill is indeed useful, but it is only provided to the inner courtyard disciples, so it is not his turn to get his hands on it.
Therefore, Zhou You urgently needs a substitute secret medicine to fill the gap between the two.
The emergence of tiger bone wine has solved the urgent problem.
"What's the price?"
"A bottle of purple gold paste costs 30 liang, and a jar of tiger bone wine costs 50 liang."
This price...is extremely expensive!
Both medicines are consumables and their prices are many times more expensive than the same weight of silver.
Zijin ointment is for emergency use, and buying 1 or 2 bottles is enough.
Tiger bone wine is different. Zhou You estimates that a jar the size of a fist is enough for 3 or 4 days at most.
In other words, using tiger bone wine to assist in martial arts training would consume more than 10 taels of wine every day, and your wallet would not be able to bear it!
“Is there any discount if I buy more?”
Hua Youxing said politely, "I'm sorry, but Xin Xingren Tang is a time-honored brand. The medicines we produce are made with quality materials and workmanship. We don't offer discounts on medicines."
Well, they are a monopoly seller's market and are very tough.
Tiger bone wine is a martial arts secret medicine, and Xingren Hall is the only one that sells it openly in the city. Other martial arts schools have their own secret medicine, but it is only for internal apprentices and disciples to use. Even if it occasionally leaks out, it cannot be supplied stably.
"Give me two bottles of purple gold ointment and ten jars of tiger bone wine."
Zhou You stated his needs, and Hua Youxing's eyes lit up on the opposite side.
The business of 560 taels is considered the largest transaction amount in recent days.
She couldn't help but look at Zhou You. Judging from his clothes, he didn't look like the son of a wealthy family who would spend money so lavishly.
"Du He, go get the goods quickly, and bring a pair of silver scales with you."
After a while, the young man Du He in blue weighed out 560 taels of silver, and his backpack was more than half empty.
I can leave with two bottles of purple gold ointment in my arms, but there is too much tiger bone wine.
10 jars of tiger bone wine, not too much, not too little either, and you definitely can’t carry them all back with two hands.
"Guest, I also have door-to-door delivery service."
"Please leave me your address and I'll have Du He deliver it to your door. I guarantee it will arrive before dark."
Zhou You nodded and gave his home address. It would be inconvenient to deliver so much tiger bone wine to the martial arts gym because it would attract attention.
After completing a big deal, Hua Youxing was in a good mood and poured Zhou You a cup of good tea.
The tea is emerald green and sweet, with a mellow aroma that lingers between your teeth.
"Guest, if any of your family members or relatives have a headache or fever, you can come to Xingren Hall for a check-up."
"My family's medical skills have been passed down for nine generations. We can cure any difficult and complicated disease."
Hua Youxing introduced the clinic's situation to attract business for his own family.
Zhou You suddenly had an idea, and recalled the experience of having evil spirits enter his body. Can this situation be treated with medicine?
If it were another situation, he would definitely not ask questions so easily.
But Xingren Hall is different. The eldest daughter Hua Youxing and the servant Du He obviously have profound attainments in boxing and martial arts.
The background of this pharmacy is not ordinary. It must be closely related to the martial arts circle and may have come into contact with related matters.
"Well, Miss, I want to ask, is there any medicine to prevent ghosts?"
As soon as the word "Xu Mei" came out, the air temperature dropped suddenly and the heat in the tea disappeared.
The smile on Hua Youfu's face disappeared, and his eyes, sharper than ever, fell on Zhou You's face.
The previous materialism and enthusiasm seemed to be a disguise, and his true nature was revealed at this moment.
"I haven't asked for your name yet!"
"I am just a little apprentice in the martial arts school. Please ask me to travel around!"
Hua Youxing nodded and said, "Zhou You, with your status, you shouldn't come into contact with the existence of illusion."
The other party knows the existence of the virtual charm!
"But I knew about it and had contact with it, and it almost cost me my life."
Zhou You spread his hands and said helplessly, "It is inconvenient to disclose the details. The martial arts school has issued a gag order."
The tense atmosphere relaxed a little.
Hua Youxing breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's how it is. You are also a lucky person who came back from the gates of hell."
"The horror of the phantom is inexplicable. Warriors who encounter it are in danger of death, and few can escape it."
"Well, I have what you want, but it's not cheap."
Zhou You was shocked. He was not afraid of the price, but of not having it!
Evil-repelling pill, produced by Xingrentang, shaped like a sesame pill, priced at exactly 100 taels, no bargaining.
The scent emitted by this item can make the ghost ignore the existence of the wearer and look for the next prey.
Zhou You covered his chest with his hands, thinking, what is the price of two jars of tiger bone wine!
"Give me two."
Hua Youxing was slightly surprised. "One is enough for you. Any more is useless."
"It's not for me, one for my father and one for my mother, making two exactly."
