Chapter 163, Medicine Boy

Hua Changxi stayed at the Hua family for one night. Early in the morning of October 24, he returned to the Shennong Herb Shop in Feng'anfang and told Pu Cao that if any of the Hua family members came here to sell things that the monks could use in the future, they should buy them in as long as the quality was qualified. He also gave her a price list.

Pu Cao glanced at the price list. She didn't know much about the market conditions of talismans and spiritual weapons, but she was very clear about the selling prices of elixirs. When she saw that the purchase prices of the elixirs on the list were obviously higher than the market prices, she knew that Hua Changxi was secretly helping the Hua family.

After Hua Changxi left, Pu Cao also told Aniu about this.

After Ah Niu found out, he said, "Chang Xi has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She has done so much for the Hua family, but the Hua family doesn't know about it and may even be blaming her behind her back."

Pu Cao shook his head: "Chang Xi's approach is the long-term solution. Family members, of course, can't be ignored, but there must be a method to take care of them."

"If Chang Xi directly takes on the cultivation resources of the Hua family, in the long run, it will only make the Hua family develop the habit of only knowing how to take but not knowing how to give."

"Once this habit is formed, the Hua family will take Changxi's efforts for granted. If Changxi cuts off the Hua family's cultivation resources in the future, they will definitely not be grateful for Changxi's previous efforts, but will instead develop greater resentment."

"Changxi bought the elixirs and talismans made by the Hua family because he wanted them to learn to be self-reliant. It might be a thankless task at first, but as long as the Hua family grows up on their own, they will be grateful to Changxi in the future."

As he spoke, he paused.

"Of course, not everyone in the Hua family may understand Chang Xi's good intentions. As long as they are human, they all hope that their lives can be easier."

"It's not easy to obtain cultivation resources, and not everyone has the courage to face the dangers of cultivation. Some people will subconsciously transfer their own pressure to their family members, and if their family members are unwilling to bear the burden, they will feel resentful."

After hearing this, Ah Niu said, "The Hua family just doesn't want to obtain cultivation resources on their own, so they have conflicts with Chang Xi again and again, right?"

Pu Cao: "Not everyone in the Hua family is like this. The most important thing is that Chang Xi is smart enough. He is unwilling and unable to take on the responsibilities of others, even for his family members." As he said this, he sighed.

"But her actions, in the eyes of her family, mean that she only cares about herself and not her family; in the eyes of outsiders, she is also somewhat cold-hearted and heartless."

Ah Niu: "I think the Hua family is a little ungrateful. If I had a family like Chang Xi, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Pu Cao smiled and said, "Not everyone is as easily satisfied as you. Human greed is endless." As he said that, he patted Aniu's shoulder.

"Although we are not Changxi's family, in Changxi's eyes, we are also his family, so you don't need to envy the Hua family."

After hearing this, Aniu thought that Hua Changxi usually came to the pharmacy when he didn't go back to the Hua family, so he smiled and nodded.

After Hua Changxi left Shennong Herb Shop, she went straight back to the Medical Department. When she stepped into the Servants' Hall, she realized that she had gone to the wrong place. She should go to the No. 13 Qihuang Hall behind the Apprentice Hall.

From a servant in the menial hall to the owner of the No. 13 Qihuang Clinic, this can be considered a promotion.

Hua Changxi turned around and walked out of the Servants' Hall, walked straight across the square, and walked into the Apprentice Hall opposite.

The daily task of the servants in the service hall is to clean and prepare medicinal materials, while the most important thing for the apprentices in the apprentice hall is to study. The doctors and pharmacists of the Ninth Street will take turns to come to the apprentice hall to teach the apprentices.

Although the errand hall and the apprentice hall are separated by a square, the status and treatment of errand boys and apprentices are very different. Apprentices are considered to be the reserve personnel for future doctors and pharmacists of the Medical Bureau.

The size of the apprentice hall is similar to that of the errand hall. To Hua Changxi, it feels a bit like a school, while the errand hall is like a factory that processes medicinal materials.

Hua Changxi slowed down his pace and carefully looked at everything in the apprentice hall. When passing by some courtyards, he could hear the voices of doctors and pharmacists giving lectures from inside.

Hua Changxi stopped and listened for a while, and found that the content was actually about spiritual plants. He was a little surprised but not too surprised. Even the servants in the errand hall were replaced by people with spiritual roots, and the situation in the apprentice hall would definitely be even worse.

After she entered the apprentice hall, all the apprentices she met on the way had spiritual roots.

Those who can become apprentices in the Medical Department nowadays are probably not ordinary people.

Hua Changxi walked and stopped, and when she arrived at the No. 13 Qihuang Hall, it was almost noon. As soon as she entered the Qihuang Hall, she saw eight people standing in the yard, some of whom she recognized.

"Meet the owner."

As soon as the eight people saw Hua Changxi, they immediately bowed to her.

Hua Changxi's gaze swept over the eight people.

She was not surprised to see Hua Shuran, Hua Wanyue, He Sirong and He Siqi appear in the yard. She just didn't expect that the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion and the Wuyi Marquis' Mansion would be so fast.

Yesterday at her eldest brother's engagement party, Hua Wanyue was still asking for her opinion, saying that she wanted to enter the No. 13 Qihuang Clinic, but she refused. Today, the Bo Mansion directly sent someone in; Mr. He Sanye didn't even mention this matter yesterday and directly put someone in.

Hua Changxi felt a little depressed. Neither the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion nor the Wuyi Marquis' Mansion took her seriously, otherwise they would not have ignored her opinions.

However, the fact that the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion and the Wuyi Marquis' Mansion were able to place people in is enough to show that these two families are still quite powerful.

Hua Changxi glanced from the four people to Pharmacist Xu.

Seeing Pharmacist Xu in the courtyard, she was really surprised. First, she was surprised that Pharmacist Xu had become a monk; second, she was surprised that he had come to be a medicine boy.

Hua Changxi couldn't understand why Pharmacist Xu wanted to join in the fun, and looked at the other three people. She had communicated with one of them before. When she was punished to go to Sancha Pharmacy, this person was the team leader.

Best wishes to you!

Although he had shaved his beard now, she still recognized him at a glance.

Hua Changxi was feeling annoyed. She knew six of the eight medicine boys, and she had no idea which side the remaining two were from.

Among the eight people, Pharmacist Xu and Hua Changxi were the most familiar with each other. Seeing that Hua Changxi didn't say anything, he smiled and took the initiative to greet him: "Changxi, from now on, the eight of us will be your medicine boys. If you have anything to do, just tell us to do it."

The other seven people immediately agreed.

Hua Changxi did not intend to pay any attention to these medicine boys. He let them do what they were supposed to do and only called Pharmacist Xu into the house.

"Uncle Xu, when did you become a cultivator?" Still a single wood spiritual root.

Hearing Hua Changxi's question, Pharmacist Xu immediately showed a proud smile on his face: "I can become a cultivator, all thanks to Lingling, I gave birth to a good daughter."

Hua Changxi's eyes moved: "Lingling?"

Pharmacist Xu nodded and said, "Lingling was also lucky. She got two pills by chance. After I took them, I gained spiritual roots."
