Chapter 130 Practical Operation, Completed

During this period, not only did the level of marrow refining advance by leaps and bounds, but other aspects also improved to varying degrees.

Among them, the improvement in bone refining level is the most obvious.

This was because Geng Xuan had upgraded his "bone shrinking method" from great success to master level. Although his focus during this period of time had been on marrow refining, his bone refining level had also increased significantly.

From “51%” to “57%”.

In addition, the refining of flesh and blood has also been improved to varying degrees.

At present, Geng Xuan's achievement in body tempering is "81% in skin refining, 77% in flesh refining, 64% in blood refining, 57% in bone refining, and 30% in marrow refining."

After the blood refining level reached 64%, the high efficiency improvement brought by the master level "Cai Nu Xuan Shui Gong" has gradually slowed down.

Therefore, Geng Xuan once again burned forty-eight points of good fortune and upgraded the "Cai Nu Xuan Shui Gong" from the master level to the grandmaster level.

In addition to these, there are several pharmaceutical-related skills.

They did not consume any good luck, but relied entirely on the monstrous pharmaceutical talent brought by the perfect level of "Medicine Stone Technique" to make it.

Blood-Replenishing Pills (Grandmaster), Medicinal Wine Brewing (Grandmaster), Xuanyou Pills (Great Mastery) +, Hemostatic Powder (Great Mastery) +, Detoxification Pills (Great Mastery) +, Parasite-Repelling Powder (Great Mastery) +, Essence Pills (Minor Mastery) +, Anshen Pills (Beginner's Edition) +]

These days, Geng Xuan has been busy all the time except for opening the furnace three times a day to make blood-replenishing pills.

There is someone responsible for all internal and external matters, so he doesn't need to worry about anything.

Apart from making the blood-replenishing pills, Geng Xuan stayed in the room, looking through the box of books and notes left by Zang Zigao.

Watch and try.

With the monstrous talent for medicine-making bestowed upon him by the "Medicine Stone Technique", after Geng Xuan had read and understood it, he was only one or two times away from truly mastering it, with at most three to five accumulated failures.

With such efficient learning, within just a few days, Geng Xuan mastered the preparation techniques of eight types of medicines, including "blood-replenishing pills", "medicinal wine brewing", "Xuanyou Pill", "hemostatic powder", "detoxification pills", "anthelmintic powder", "essence pills" and "calming pills".

With the most extensive experience, including insights from small-scale experiments and practical insights from large-scale operations, Geng Xuan has reached the master level in "blood-replenishing pills" and "brewing medicinal wine". He can confidently say that his attainments in these two skills have reached perfection.

Combined with the abilities granted by the perfect level of "Medicine and Stone Technique", Geng Xuan has reached the realm of "doing what one wants without going beyond the rules" in these two skills.

This is also the reason why Geng Xuan dared to come up with a "half-new, half-old" formula based on the medicinal materials of the team.

——Half of the medicinal ingredients in the formula have been changed and half have been retained based on the current ones.

The reason why he has such confidence is that he has now reached the state of "seeing the mountain as not a mountain" when it comes to making blood-replenishing pills.

The specific types, names, appearances, textures, etc. of the medicinal materials have faded from his eyes. He only cares about the changes in the medicinal properties.

It doesn’t matter if the specific herbs used are different, as long as the results are consistent and the medicinal properties can present a certain “flavor”, then there is no problem.

This has been successfully verified by Geng Xuan using a small casserole.

Except for "blood-replenishing pills" and "brewing medicinal wine", other pharmaceutical techniques have only reached the great success level at best.

This was what Geng Xuan intended to do, based on his current talent in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

To master a pharmaceutical skill, the improvement from entry level to advanced level is the fastest.

As long as the skill reaches the level of mastery, it basically has the ability to be produced on a large scale.

According to the standards of a pharmacy, this "large scale" means that it can independently command and coordinate and produce hundreds of pills and hundreds of copies at a time.

To advance from the level of a master to the level of a master, just by fiddling with a small casserole in his room, requires more practical attempts and more time than large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Instead of doing this, it is obviously more cost-effective to use this time and energy to learn the next necessary pharmaceutical skills.

At this moment, after handing a modified formula of blood-replenishing pills to Luo Qing and asking him to organize and coordinate, Geng Xuan returned to the room and began to prepare the "Calming Pills" in a small casserole.

This is a special pill that can be used to calm the mind and relieve the user's mental weakness and fatigue.

For normal practitioners, this pill has no value and there is no benefit after taking it.

But for practitioners who suffer from insomnia or other long-term troubles with negative emotions, this "calming pill" will have miraculous effects and its value far exceeds that of blood-replenishing pills.

After successfully making three pills in succession, Geng Xuan felt that his skills in making "Anshen Pills" had reached a new level.

Soon, the "Anshen Pills" which were originally in the entry-level stage were promoted to the "minor success" stage.

Just as Geng Xuan was about to continue, Luo Qing knocked on the door to remind him that the first batch of medicinal materials was almost ready.

As soon as Geng Xuan walked out of the room, he came to Geng Xuan and whispered:

"Boss, based on the situation over the past two days, the herbs prepared according to the original blood-replenishing pill recipe are enough for you to make two large batches.

The new recipe you just gave me will be ready soon, so we can make three large batches of it... but can we ask them to stop for a while?"

The reason why he made such a suggestion is that some medicinal materials cannot be kept for a long time once they have been pre-processed.

Some of them cannot even be kept overnight and must be used up on the same day.

Geng Xuan shook his head and said, "Don't stop, let them continue."

Before this, he could only open three furnaces a day. Was this the limit of his ability?
of course not!

Today, Geng Xuan is ready to show his strength, so how could he stop?

If such an unreasonable order were given somewhere else, the subordinates would definitely explain it again to avoid a situation where the matter could not be resolved and everyone would be embarrassed.

But after hearing what Geng Xuan said, Luo Qing immediately agreed.

Then he asked the next question.

"There are currently 324 people involved in processing the medicinal herbs. If they all prepare the herbs according to the recipe you gave us, we can finish processing them all before dark today.

Next, how do they plan before leaving work? "

Geng Xuan thought about it and did not take out a new recipe. Instead, he said:
"Let them process the more common medicinal materials that can be stored for a long time after processing."

In fact, in terms of the total proportion of medicinal materials in the fleet, this type of medicinal materials accounts for the bulk.

It is the most common and easiest to obtain in Chiwu Mountain. It plays a "golden supporting role" in many medicinal formulas.

Luo Qing nodded, understood Geng Xuan's intention, and immediately made arrangements.

When Geng Xuan arrived in front of the bronze furnace, Wang Xun and Ding Yong had already led a group of Giant Bear Gang members to complete the preparations.

The prepared medicinal materials or liquid medicines were classified and placed neatly and orderly on the ground next to the copper furnace.

Under the copper furnace, flames were already burning fiercely.

Geng Xuan came to the copper furnace and poured a large bucket of liquid medicine into the hot copper furnace while saying to Wang Xi:
"I remember they brought in some copper furnaces today, didn't they? ... Go build me another one, close by, not too far from me."

Then he saw Geng Xuan methodically preparing blood-replenishing pills. Next to him, just where Geng Xuan turned slightly to the side, another huge furnace was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When another copper furnace with a slightly different shape was placed on it, more than an hour had passed, and the "blood-replenishing paste" boiled in the copper furnace in front of Geng Xuan had gradually taken shape, but the temperature was still a little lacking.

Geng Xuan, who had been following the progress of Wang Yu and the others, immediately said, "Open fire."

Soon, another ball of flames rose from the furnace next to it, enveloping the entire copper furnace above.

After the preheating was complete, the entire copper furnace was burning hot. Geng Xuan closed the fire door of the furnace below him with a kick, and the burning flames quickly went out. He said to Wang Lu, who was already waiting with a plate in his hand:
"I'll leave it to you guys from now on... Is that okay?"

"No problem." Wang Xi responded immediately.

Scoop out the prepared "blood-replenishing pills" and pour them into the mold and press them into pills. If you can't even do this well, then it's not a problem with your ability, but a problem with your brain.

Geng Xuan nodded, and handed the prepared "blood-replenishing paste" to Wang Xi and others. He turned around and walked to another copper furnace, picked up a bucket of liquid medicine and poured it into it, continuing to boil it.

This was also the last batch before the recipe changed.

After about another hour and a half, the "blood-replenishing paste" was successfully boiled, and Geng Xuan handed the follow-up to Wang Xi and others.

He went to have lunch, took two blood-replenishing pills, and then got up and walked to the two copper stoves.

Because it was the first large-scale brewing of the new recipe, Geng Xuan was more cautious when brewing the first pot.

The amount of each material added was relatively conservative. In the end, when Geng Xuan turned off the furnace about two hours later, this furnace had only produced more than 600 blood-replenishing pills.

The color is also slightly different from the first dark brown blood-replenishing pill, and is more reddish.

However, when Geng Xuan swallowed two pills, his brows relaxed.

"There is no problem."

After handing over the finishing work to Wang Lu and others, Geng Xuan immediately started to prepare the second batch.

This batch of blood-replenishing pills finally produced more than a thousand, and the time was slightly shorter than the first batch.

Since then, Geng Xuan has fully mastered the production process of this new formula.

At this moment, the sky was gradually getting dark.

And just as Luo Qing had expected in the morning, despite the efforts of more than 300 people, the processing of medicinal materials according to the new formula had to be stopped because many medicinal materials were used up.

Everyone has begun to follow Geng Xuan's requirements and start processing those medicinal herbs that can be stored for a long time.

The barrels of processed medicinal materials were placed in order around the copper furnace, occupying a large area in the yard.

Compared with those that Geng Xuan brewed in two consecutive furnaces, it was less than one-sixth of the whole.

"We need to speed up efficiency."

Geng Xuan muttered to himself and started to boil the third furnace.

Not long after he started to simmer, he saw that Wang Xi and others had finished the other furnace, so he said directly: "Light the fire."

Wang Xi was startled and asked in surprise, "Ah, Gang Leader, you want to boil two furnaces at the same time?"

"Yeah." Geng Xuan nodded.

Although he was shocked at his gang leader's increasingly inhumane behavior, it did not stop him from carrying out the order immediately.

Open the closed fire door, and then use a shovel to put charcoal into the furnace.

Soon, the flames burned fiercely again, enveloping the entire copper furnace.

Two hours later, the two copper furnaces were turned off one after another, and the final pressing of materials was handed over to Wang Xun and others. Geng Xuan went into the house to rest for a while.

Even with his physical strength, the consumption was still too great to boil two furnaces at the same time.

Compared with physical consumption, mental consumption is even greater.

He had to constantly switch between the two furnaces, each with its own drastically changing medicinal properties. If he made a mistake once, it would be—

Oh no, it’s over.

Fortunately, his extraordinary talent for making medicine, coupled with the experience gained from actually refining large quantities of medicine in batches, allowed him to successfully reach the end.

It's just a bit mentally taxing.

Geng Xuan took two blood-replenishing pills, two tranquilizing pills, and drank a lot of tea, and only then did he feel a little better.

After Wang Xuan and others finished collecting and pressing the materials, Geng Xuan asked:
"How much did these two furnaces produce in total?"

"There are three thousand four hundred and twenty-five in all."

Geng Xuan nodded.

After resting for a while, he stood up and said, "Continue."

After that, before everyone went off work, Geng Xuan continued to boil the medicine for two more rounds, four batches, and obtained another 7,162 blood-replenishing pills.

From then on, all medicinal materials prepared according to the new formula were processed.

The number of blood-enriching pills produced due to the new formula reached 12,208.

The first formula produced a total of more than 16,970 blood-enriching pills.

In addition to the 10,000 pills that had already been sold, Geng Xuan had accumulated more than 19,180 pills.

In order to ensure the uniformity of specifications and quality of the blood-replenishing pills sold, Geng Xuan used the pills himself and distributed them to his fellow gang members as monthly allowances, all of which were captured from the caravans and Zang Zigao and others.

After returning to the house, Geng Xuan said to Luo Qing, "Do you have a list of the remaining medicinal herbs in the fleet?"

Luo Qing immediately handed a book to Geng Xuan.

It lists in detail the types and quantities of the remaining medicinal materials, as well as which ones have been pre-processed and which ones are still unopened, all clearly written.

Geng Xuan flipped through it briefly, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "You've put in a lot of effort. I'll take a closer look later... Do you have any other questions?"

Luo Qing asked: "What are the arrangements for them when they come tomorrow? Will it be the same as tonight?"

Geng Xuan shook his head and said, "No rush. I'll give you a recipe for blood-tonifying pills tomorrow morning. Just arrange your work accordingly."

Luo Qing had vaguely realized something and was extremely shocked in his heart, but he still agreed seriously on the surface.

He brought up another issue:
"Because you later spent all your time on brewing the blood-replenishing pills, the medicinal wine brewing process could not move forward to the ingredient preparation stage, and those people who were assigned to the various workshops because they knew how to brew had nothing to do.

I arranged for them all to help out elsewhere and do some simple medicinal material processing.

Logically, they shouldn't be paid the same as everyone else, but I was worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so I paid them according to the agreement."

Geng Xuan nodded and said:
"You handled it well. Our goal now is to process this batch of medicinal materials as quickly as possible. Let's not worry about these minor details.

In the next few days, I probably won't have much time to spend on brewing medicinal wine. It won't be a problem if the residue is left for a few more days. You should just follow today's arrangements and let those people go help elsewhere.

If more people contribute, the progress will be improved to some extent.

However, although the brewing of medicinal wine has to be suspended for two days, Wanfufang must be urged to prepare the earthen vats used for fermentation in advance.

There is no longer enough space in the Wei family compound to do all this. You and the people from Wanfufang should discuss it and it would be best to find an area nearby to specifically handle this matter.

In addition, the purchase of refined grains cannot be stopped. Don’t just focus on Wanfufang and let other shops also make some profit.

Don't let Wanfufang take all the advantage."

"Yes."

After Luo Qing left, Geng Xuan carefully looked through the list of remaining medicinal herbs he had compiled.

His eyes swept over the various medicinal herbs.

The more animal materials that are difficult to preserve for a long time and the medicinal materials that are in huge stock, the longer he pays attention to them.

In his mind, the various changes in the medicinal properties of the two blood-replenishing pill formulas that he had already prepared in large quantities during the actual operation process kept emerging.

From time to time, other blood-replenishing pill recipes that he learned from Zang Zigao's book collection notes would emerge in Geng Xuan's mind.

He is also trying to simulate their "medicinal taste" by chewing them.

For a moment, as the medicinal properties changed in his mind, various "tastes" such as "sour", "sweet", "bitter", "spicy" and "salty" also surged in Geng Xuan's mind.

In this world, there are people who have lost their hearing and can create soul-stirring music through pure brainpower and imagination.

If this is considered a monstrous musical talent, then Geng Xuan's current talent in pharmaceutical manufacturing is also monstrous.

There are many recipes for blood-replenishing pills in this world.

These formulas are the result of years of continuous experimentation and exploration by pharmacists from all over the country, based on the types of medicinal materials produced in each region and adapting to local conditions.

Therefore, although launching a new formula is not an easy task, it is not a difficult task either.

As the various medicinal properties continued to flow and collide in his brain, a "river of changing medicinal properties" gradually took shape in Geng Xuan's mind, with three different sources but ultimately converging into the same destination.

Although the types of medicinal materials carried by these three "rivers" account for a very small proportion, their quantity accounts for nearly half of the remaining medicinal materials.

When the fourth "medicinal river" was about to develop in Geng Xuan's mind, Geng Xuan took the initiative to stop it.

“These medicinal herbs cannot all be used to make blood-replenishing pills.

Jingyuan Pills, Xuanyou Pills, Jiedu Pills, and Anshen Pills are also needed.

So be it. "

……

The next day.

October eighteenth.

Early in the morning, Geng Xuan handed three pieces of paper with wet ink to Luo Qing and said:

“Today, we will prepare the medicine according to these three blood-replenishing pill recipes.

...If I try my best, I can make seven rounds and fourteen furnaces today. I will prepare the medicine according to this amount.

After you prepare the herbs I need, you can assign them to do other things."

"Yes."

Geng Xuan had a busy and fulfilling day.

Except for the first few hours while waiting for everyone to prepare the medicine, it was relatively quiet.

The following time was spent either walking back and forth around two high-temperature copper furnaces.

Or they are recovering their physical and mental strength to "build up momentum" for the next round of spinning in front of the furnace.

The results are remarkable.

From the beginning to the end, seven rounds of boiling were carried out, and a total of fourteen batches of blood-replenishing pills were produced.

In one day, he took 22,694 blood-replenishing pills.

Late at night, when Geng Xuan was preparing the last two batches of blood-replenishing pills.

The peace that lasted for a day was broken by the sound of horse hooves entering Wanfufang at night.

The convoy stopped far away from the Wei family.

It wasn't that the convoy didn't want to continue forward, but rather that the area ahead, once a road, had been transformed into a series of medicinal herb preparation areas. Flames burned in hearths, some even exposed fires. Steam swirled in the air, and the stench of burning permeated the area. Everywhere one looked, one could see scenes of dedicated and diligent work.

Seeing this scene, the convoy stopped.

The group looked at the lively and busy scene, stood for a while, and then walked towards the Wei family compound.

The Wei family compound is now completely occupied by "Su Ruiliang" and his subordinates.

All the personnel from various districts were arranged outside the Wei family compound.

When the group arrived at the gate of the compound, they were also stopped.

Only after Luo Qing came over quickly and confirmed the identities of these people did he lead them into the inner room.

After entering, when they saw the figure moving back and forth between the two blazing copper furnaces, they finally understood why this group of people wanted to "invite" all the people in the neighborhood to go out, leaving no one behind.

The "Su Ruiliang" in front of him, apart from anything else, at least in the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing, is so evil that he doesn't seem like a human being.

They stood quietly by, watching "Su Ruiliang" move quickly but leisurely between the two furnaces.

Sometimes stirring, sometimes adding new materials, sometimes taking out waste materials...

His movements are calm and his expression is relaxed, just like a chef cooking two pots of soup at the same time. Although he is busy, he is definitely not in a rush.

"Turn off the fire."

"Turn off the fire."

The two furnaces were shut down one after another.

Spoonfuls of amber-colored, transparent and silky paste were quickly scooped out from the two furnaces, poured into plates, and pressed into blood-enriching pills of uniform specifications.

Smelling the aroma spreading from the stove to the entire yard, everyone's mood became extremely complicated.

Originally, the happy mood of making huge profits in just two or three days disappeared in an instant.

It seems that we worked ourselves to death and were worried for many days, but the result was not as good as what others achieved after just one or two hours of wandering between the two furnaces.

So what is there to be happy about?
But when they finished brewing the blood-replenishing pills and "Su Ruiliang" walked towards them, they put away all the negative emotions in their hearts and looked at him as if they were looking at a moving mountain of gold.

Oh, no, it should be the person who can easily enlighten the golden mountain!

Geng Xuan laughed and said, "Master Wei, Master Fan, how come you still have time to appear here now?"

The people who came were naturally Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng, Chai Ye and other neighborhood leaders.

According to what they said before, they should be organizing a convoy now, mixing the 10,000 blood-replenishing pills that were traded the day before yesterday into the car, and then distributing them to various markets for sale.

Wei Wanzong and others did not reply, but asked directly:
"Boss Su, how many blood-replenishing pills do you have now?"

Geng Xuan was startled, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng and others, and said in a deep voice:
"The two hundred thousand taels from the day before yesterday, even if it's not all the cash you can use, is it enough?

Why, now there is money again?"

Wei Wanzong was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Not bad."

"Where did it come from?" Geng Xuan asked.

Wei Wanzong really wanted to say, what’s it to you?
Since we agreed to pay for the goods, and the payment is in full, why should you care where the money comes from?!

However, he also knew that if he didn't explain clearly about such a huge deal, it would easily make the other party overthink it, and even suspect that they had found a powerful helper in secret.

If this is the case, if you put yourself in their shoes, you will find that they themselves have to consider the possibility of terminating the cooperation.

After a long silence, Wei Wanzong said, "We have already sold the 10,000 blood-replenishing pills and received the money, so we naturally have money."

"...According to your previous plan, it shouldn't be possible to sell out so quickly!
...So, you didn't handle it as you told me last time, right?

...How do you sell it?" Geng Xuan asked.

Under Geng Xuan's gaze, Wei Wanzong grinned in embarrassment.

Fan Hongsheng next to him said:
"The plan is basically the same as what I told Boss Su last time, except that we didn't actually organize the convoy that was going to go to other markets."

"It hasn't really been established?" Geng Xuan said softly.

"Um……"

Now that it was brought up, Fan Hongsheng no longer concealed anything and said a few more words.

Only then did Geng Xuan realize that Fan Hongsheng became the chairman of the car dealership just to take advantage of Kangleji's reputation.

This proves that his "caravan" traveling between various markets is supported by Kangleji, and he is not a small character without any background who can be manipulated by others.

This identity endorsement may not work well in other places, and no one will give face to Kangleji.

But in other markets around Chiwu Mountain, this face will definitely be sold, because they also hope that the credibility endorsement they make will have the same effect.

Anyone who breaks this tacit understanding will soon suffer backlash.

The reason is simple, "My people go to your territory to do business, and you don't give them face, then your family will never pass through my territory again."

However, if a caravan with no identity and unclear origins travels between various markets, it is hard to say how it will be treated.

Maybe you will make a fortune, or maybe you will disappear without a trace.

Therefore, it is not a superfluous move but a very necessary one for Fan Hongsheng to become the chairman of Kangle Car Dealership.

However, since he became the president of the car dealership, no one cared whether this car team existed, whether it started from Kangle Market and went to other markets after twists and turns, and how many car teams were formed.

Therefore, what Wei Wanzong and others did was to wait until Fan Hongsheng became the chairman of Kangleji's car dealership and obtained solid identity endorsement.

They immediately split into more than a dozen teams, each carrying hundreds of blood-replenishing pills, and rode their horses at full speed day and night to a dozen nearby markets.

And through some channels, either overt or covert, hundreds of blood-enriching pills were quickly sold at a price slightly lower than the market price.

Then they immediately returned with the silver.

It's that simple.

Under the current circumstances, if hundreds of blood-replenishing pills were thrown into a market, there would be basically no splash and they would be digested completely.

As long as Wei Wanzong and others pay attention to themselves, it will be difficult to attract the attention of the market master at the beginning.

As they trade more and more, perhaps the market owner will notice them.

But he would not cause trouble for Kangleji's car behavior just for a few hundred blood-replenishing pills.

Except for those market owners who have reached the Marrow Refining Realm, Wei Wanzong and others do not need to worry about being robbed by others as long as they travel light and are sufficiently vigilant and prepared.

Apart from being a little tired and nervous, there are basically no safety issues.

In order to sell it quickly, the selling price is slightly lower than the market price.

But a blood-replenishing pill can at least make them earn seven or eight taels.

Ten thousand pieces is seventy or eighty thousand, what else is there to be dissatisfied about!
Although the profit was less, the collection period was shortened.

At the beginning, Geng Xuan felt that the payment collection period of the method proposed by Fan Hongsheng was too long. Obviously, they had the same concern.

Therefore, they would rather earn less and shorten the collection period.

After understanding the tricks these people were playing, Geng Xuan narrowed his eyes at them and said, "Hey,

"You guys have thought it through clearly, haven't you? Why did you use that excuse to deceive me back then?
...At that time, had you already agreed to rip me off?"

Fan Hongsheng quickly waved his hands and said:

"Boss Su, you misunderstood. I was fascinated by the sight of you slaughtering the Anleji convoy just by listening to Master Wei's story.

Even if we were given a hundred guts, we wouldn't dare to cheat you!
...Yes, we do have some selfish motives.

At that time, I thought that after earning money from other markets, I could also buy some goods nearby and transport them back to Kangle Market to make a profit from the difference.

We, the people in this neighborhood, are short-sighted and have never seen big money. When given an opportunity like this, we would like to squeeze out every last drop of money.

But I absolutely have no intention of harming you!"

His explanation seemed reasonable, but Geng Xuan just chuckled twice.

Perhaps, they are indeed very afraid of themselves.

Perhaps, they really want to use the extra time they have earned to make the money again.

But with a huge sum of hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of money lying there, even if it was the God of Killing himself, he would have to be concerned.

Geng Xuan was also glad that he had chosen the simplest trading model.

If they really followed their original idea, they would sell the goods and then divide the profits between the two parties in proportion. They really didn't know what kind of pitfalls were waiting for them.

However, nothing really happened, so the unfinished cooperation must naturally continue.

"I have more than 40,000 blood-replenishing pills in my hand. Can you eat them all?" Geng Xuan said.

Wei Wanzong and the others exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then said, "We want 20,000 this time."

"Okay." Geng Xuan nodded.

"However, the silver we brought is not enough, so we need to go back to the market to collect some more.

Could you please give us the blood-replenishing pills first? We will definitely pay the remaining amount before dawn."

"No." Geng Xuan shook his head.

"You are in Wanfufang. I would never dare to lie to anyone else but you!"

Wei Wanzong said humbly:
"We also want to get the blood-replenishing pills and set off immediately. We can't waste any time!"

Geng Xuan shook his head, his attitude was very firm: "When you have gathered the silver, you can come and get the blood-replenishing pills."

Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng and others sighed in disappointment.

Geng Xuan suddenly said:

“If you want to save time, there is a way... I have a kind of Xuanyou Pill here. If you crush one pill and mix it into horse feed, it will be enough for five to ten horses to recover quickly.

The specific situation depends on the breed of horses and their fatigue level.

However, it will be no problem for you to travel back and forth quickly within hundreds of miles."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wanzong and his companions immediately became interested, asked about the price, and said they wanted to purchase some.

Geng Xuan signaled to Luo Qing and asked him to organize people to go for the talks.

Luo Qing, who was very familiar with the materials and effects of Xuanyou Dan, negotiated a price of forty taels per pill.

The materials consumed by a Xuanyou Pill are similar to those of a blood-replenishing pill.

Geng Xuan was also very satisfied with this.

He said to Wei Wanzong and the others, "I don't have many Xuanyou Pills right now, so I'll give you ten first. It'll just cover the cost of bottling them."

Now of course he knew that the blood-replenishing pills sold by Wei Wanzong and others were also not bottled.

They don't have the time.

However, since both parties have already reached an agreement on the matter, he naturally would not stir up trouble again over such a small matter.

About three hours later, Wei Wanzong and others finally collected all the silver and moved it all to the Wei family compound, piling it up in a huge pile.

Luo Qing and others spent a lot of time just counting the items.

After Wei Wanzong and others received 20,000 blood-replenishing pills, they left quickly without stopping for a moment.

At this moment, those people who came from various workshops to process medicinal materials had already dispersed and rested in the accommodation arranged by Wanfufang.

Only Geng Xuan and his companions were left in the Wei family compound. Looking at the 430,000 taels of silver in the compound, Geng Xuan thought for a moment and said to Luo Qing:

"Get some strong carts and load them all onto them.

In addition, move another 270,000 taels from the warehouse to the car."

"Yes."

Soon, Luo Qing and the Giant Bear Gang took action.

Previously, there were about 91,000 taels of silver in the spoils of war, plus 215,000 taels of silver gained from the previous transaction with Wei Wanzong and others, the cash in the temporary warehouse had exceeded 300,000 taels.

Although some of the money was used to pay monthly allowances and daily expenses, it was just a drop in the bucket compared to this amount.

Geng Xuan felt it was inappropriate to continue keeping the 430,000 taels in the Wei family.

Apart from anything else, if something happens, it will be difficult to escape in time.

This total of more than 700,000 taels of silver will become a heavy burden.

……

An hour later.

Geng Xuan drove a seven-carriage carriage full of silver boxes pulled by seven Xuanyou horses into the study and re-entered the underground tunnel.

Watching the gang leader disappear in a convoy loaded with 700,000 taels of silver, Luo Qing stood there for a moment, then continued to arrange for everyone to guard the gate.

Those who need to be on duty should be on duty, and those who need to rest should rest.

Two hours later, Geng Xuan drove the seven Xuanyou horses out of the study room after they had emerged from the tunnel.

As for where the seven carriages, each loaded with 100,000 taels of silver, went, all we can say is that no one in the world knows except Geng Xuan.

……

The night was too long. The next day, October 19th, Geng Xuan did not leave the room until the first batch of medicinal materials was processed and just before the fire was about to start.

On this day, Geng Xuan, who also brewed fourteen furnaces, once again harvested 23,185 blood-replenishing pills.

The next day was October 20th.

After boiling six more batches, Geng Xuan finally stopped boiling the blood-replenishing pills for several days because the corresponding medicinal materials were out of stock.

This added more than 9,870 blood-replenishing pills to Geng Xuan's reserves.

The preparation of the blood-replenishing pills was finished, but Geng Xuan's work did not stop.

After a short rest, Geng Xuan started to prepare the Xuanyou Pill again.

The materials have been processed in advance and the planning has been done in advance.

The next eight furnaces that day produced all Xuanyou Dan.

Although the volume of a Xuanyou Pill is much larger than that of a Blood-Replenishing Pill, the medicinal materials used to make a Xuanyou Pill are similar to those of a Blood-Replenishing Pill.

The reason why it is larger is that it contains many impurities, which are harmful substances to the human body.

Blood-enriching pills given to humans are made from the finest ingredients, and as much as they can be purified, they will be purified as much as possible.

But Xuanyou Dan is for horses, not for humans.

Some substances that are harmful to humans are neither beneficial nor harmful to horses, while others are beneficial. In addition, there is no pursuit of excessive purification, which avoids the loss of a lot of medicinal properties.

This means that one Xuanyou Pill can feed five to ten horses, but practitioners often feel that one blood-replenishing pill is not enough.

For Geng Xuan, the process of brewing Xuanyou Dan also became simpler.

A total of 13,652 pearls were produced from the eight furnaces.

……

The next day was October 21st.

On this day, Geng Xuan refined ten furnaces of Essence Pills.

In the first two furnaces, we were a little conservative in order to avoid waste due to unfamiliar skills, but the quantity soon increased.

A total of 12,467 Essence Pills were harvested from the ten furnaces.

Afterwards, Geng Xuan refined six more batches of tranquilizing pills, and harvested a total of eight thousand four hundred and thirty-nine pills.

On this day, Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng and others returned again.

After leaving behind a large pile of silver boxes, he left with 20,000 blood-replenishing pills.

There are also ten Xuanyou Pills to offset the bottling costs.

……

After that, for four consecutive days, Geng Xuan spent all his time refining common medicines such as hemostatic powder, detoxification pills, and anthelmintic powder.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue refining high-quality medicines, but the remaining medicines only allow him to make these.

No matter how talented he is at making medicine, he cannot turn waste into treasure without good medicinal materials.

During this period, Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng and others returned once again.

After leaving behind a larger pile of silver boxes, he also took away 30,000 blood-replenishing pills and 15 Xuanyou pills to offset the assembly costs.

This was also the last blood-replenishing pill transaction between the two parties.

……

From October 22, when Geng Xuan began to refine medicines such as hemostatic powder and detoxification pills, the number of people in the pharmaceutical preparation team, which originally had more than 300 people, was rapidly reduced.

On the 24th, except for a few dozen people who knew how to brew wine, all the others were dismissed.

By the end of the 25th, all the medicinal materials looted from the Anleji convoy had finally been dealt with.
