The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 10 Be Careful When Accepting a Disciple

How much does it cost to treat an illness?

Li Jingxiao would not miss this opportunity to buy fame for himself.

After saving Jia Zhu, the doctor at Ju'an Hall and his entire family were exiled.

Li Jingxiao no longer has as many concerns as before when it comes to curing diseases and saving lives.

If there were patients in the homes of other powerful people, the consultation fee would be one hundred taels, the same as for the Jia family.

There should be at least thirty or fifty taels.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao's ability to see patients is nothing more than upgrading the character's level.

With greater fame, more people will come to see the doctor.

On the second day of Jia Zhu's follow-up visit, Jia Chenshi was given two-fifths of Sanqi Powder for the first time.

This middle-aged woman, who was almost at the end of her life, recovered almost immediately.

Fortunately, he is just sick, not dying of old age, otherwise Sanqi San would be useless.

After taking the medicine for the third time today, the woman's complexion looked no different from that of a normal person.

Not only can he walk home by himself, but he will definitely have no problem living a few more years.

If you have enough nutrition, it is not impossible that you can live ten or twenty years longer.

Why do doctors in modern society always tell their patients to pay attention to nutritional supplements?

This is because the human body has a strong self-healing ability, but this requires eating well.

It took more than an hour to finally send more than 30 patients away.

Li Jingxiao looked at the character level, which was already level 2 (135/200).

I couldn't help but feel good.

He looked at Jia Heng who was sweeping with a broom, and then at the tables and chairs that had been wiped clean.

He thought to himself that he really needed someone to clean up the entire Zhenwu Temple.

This kid is hardworking and is a distant relative of the Jia family. Several generations of his family have lived in the capital, so his family background is clear and understood.

More trustworthy than servants bought in the human market.

He has a widowed mother and he is his mother's savior. In most cases, the possibility of this guy betraying himself is very low.

He smiled and said to Jia Heng, "Brother Heng, your mother's illness has been cured, but she has been ill for too long and her foundation has been damaged.

You have to eat better food from now on, okay?"

Jia Heng nodded quickly, but when he thought about the dozens of taels of silver his family still owed to relatives, he suddenly felt that the future was bleak.

When he looked at Li Jingxiao, there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Li Jingxiao knew at a glance that this boy wanted to get a job in the Taoist temple.

He couldn't help but laugh, "Go pour me some tea, then go to Zuixianlou and order three dishes and a large portion of rice."

After saying that, he reached into his sleeve and actually took out three taels of silver from the Novice Village storage box and threw it on the table.

"The food doesn't need to be fancy, just home-cooked meals will do. These three taels of silver are a month's advance payment.

From now on, you will be responsible for delivering meals to me, cleaning the Taoist temple, and maintaining order among the patients.

I'll give you 600 wen per month, but not including food and lodging."

Jia Heng was stunned, thinking of the second-class maids in the Ning and Rong mansions, who received a monthly salary of 500 coins, and also had food and accommodation provided.

But this job has nothing to do with the managers and stewards of the Ning and Rong mansions, so it is not your turn at all.

An ordinary maid or old woman could earn only 2 or 3 coins a month.

So for Jia Heng, the job of cleaning the Taoist temple was tiring, but he was willing to do it for 600 wen a month.

Not to mention supporting myself and my mother, if I save a little, I can pay back the dozens of taels of silver I owe to my relatives within a few years.

Without hesitation, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed seven or eight times. Only when Li Jingxiao tried to stop him did he stand up with red eyes.

However, looking at the silver on the table, Jia Heng hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Master Dao, my mother used to work in the kitchen of Ningguo Mansion.

If the Taoist priest doesn't like to eat fine food, my mother's cooking skills are definitely no problem. It's also safer to eat than the food outside. "Li Jingxiao looked at Jia Heng in surprise for a few seconds, thinking to himself, it seems that the saying that children from poor families grow up early is indeed true.

This kid is reminding himself to be careful in case someone tampered with the food.

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Then you and your mother come over every day to cook for me and clean the Taoist temple, and eat here during the day.

Go home at night.

Your mother's monthly salary is the same as yours, 600 wen."

The official exchange rate for 1 tael of silver to copper coins is 1 to 1.

However, the Celestial Empire was always short of silver, and the landlords and wealthy people liked to store silver, resulting in even less silver on the market.

So 1 tael of silver can actually be exchanged for 1200 to 1500 copper coins of varying quality.

Jia Heng was so excited that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow again, but Li Jingxiao frowned and shook his hand.

A force suddenly lifted Jia Heng up, making him want to kneel down, but he couldn't.

It can also be regarded as a deterrent from Jia Heng by Li Jingxiao.

The Immortality Changchun Gong produced by the game is indeed extraordinary. With only a small degree of success, Li Jingxiao can already release his true energy.

Moreover, the quality of his true qi was obviously much stronger than the true qi he cultivated through the exercises in Zhenwu Temple.

It can be seen that the Eternal Youth Kung Fu has indeed surpassed the general mental methods of cultivation.

Moreover, the spiritual energy of this world is much higher than that of the martial arts world.

To put it bluntly, the world of Red Mansions is at the level of the world of cultivation, and was even once the world of immortals and heroes.

Although 99 dragon veins were cut off, some dragon veins still remained.

Liu Bowen didn't dare to touch Changbai Mountain back then.

Jia Heng was so surprised and shocked at this moment.

I had heard before that this Taoist priest Jingyou was both talented in literature and martial arts, but I thought it was just flattery.

But now, a force was supporting his body out of thin air.

This kind of magical method made Jia Heng nervous and excited at the same time.

Li Jingxiao saw the light in the boy's eyes, how could he not see what he was thinking?
I smiled secretly in my heart, there is no problem in learning martial arts.

The game character has been in the novice village for three months and has learned a lot of basic martial arts.

Low-level boxing techniques such as Taizu Changquan and Wudang Changquan were not very powerful. Li Jingxiao himself was unwilling to learn them, but it was not a problem for him to teach them to his servants, apprentices, and subordinates.

But the prerequisite is loyalty.

This requires gradual testing.

There are also inheritances from martial arts sects that you get in the game.

There is no problem in passing it on to the disciples and followers of the Taoist temple.

Moreover, Zhenwu Temple itself accepts disciples from outside, otherwise the inheritance would have been broken long ago.

If we think about the issue from the perspective of a sect or Taoist temple, accepting disciples is inevitable.

But if someone wants to learn the martial arts and Taoism that he knows, at least at this moment, Li Jingxiao will only pass on his skills to his closest relatives.

As for promoting the Zhenwu Temple, Li Jingxiao has no such idea at the moment.

Having too many true disciples is often a bad thing.

He waved his hand and asked Jia Heng to take the silver and get him some food first, and then start working at the Taoist temple tomorrow.

Jia Heng nodded quickly, but before leaving, he remembered to add a bowl of tea for Li Jingxiao.

More than half an hour later, Jia Heng came back hurriedly with a food box containing three dishes and a large bowl of rice.

After using it, Li Jingxiao told Jia Heng to go home first, as there was no shortage of cooking utensils in the kitchen.

You can also make breakfast at home tomorrow and come to the Taoist temple before 3:15 am.

Three quarters past seven in the morning is half past eight. After Jia Heng left, Li Jingxiao continued to practice sword and palm.
