The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 31 Greed
Thinking of Li Jingxiao, Xia Shouzhong couldn't help but think of the gift of three Sanhua Yulu pills he received from the eunuchs of the imperial farm.

Xia Shouzhong curled his lips and thought to himself, you thought we didn't know, so you secretly bought another Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill.

I sent three pills worth 30 taels of silver to our family, but you hid a precious pill that cost 100 taels each.

Do you really think our family needs your 30 taels of silver?
You will have a hard time in the future.

Eunuchs have always been greedy for money and petty, and they value face more than anything else.

Just because of this, I'm being remembered. It would be better not to send it at all.

However, if you really don't send it, you will probably be even more unlucky.

When Xia Shouzhong was about to leave the hall, he suddenly heard the emperor say, "Oh, right, go to Zhenwu Temple and tell that young Taoist priest.

Since you have accepted the task of surveying the feng shui of the imperial mausoleum, you must take it seriously.

Don't just focus on curing illnesses and saving lives to gain fame instead of doing your real work all day long."

Xia Shouzhong has been serving the emperor for more than 20 years. He was already serving him when the emperor was still an unappreciated prince.

It was obvious that the emperor's words were actually a gesture of protection for Li Jingxiao.

People from Prince Yishun's mansion have sent several letters asking for help.

Although the letter mentioned Zhenwu Temple once, it also hoped that the emperor would issue an edict to invite Taoist priests from Tianshi Mansion, Maoshan, Gezhao, and Taihe Mountain to go to Dali to treat Prince Yishun.

The emperor did issue an edict, but he ignored Li Jingxiao, who had been staying in the imperial mausoleum for almost a month.

Moreover, the emperor had received a secret letter from the Jinyi Guards that Prince Yishun had been cursed by the evildoer for the second time, and his illness was even more severe.

In just a few days, people started to go crazy.

The emperor probably guessed that nothing he did now would be of any use.

Everything is ready. As soon as Prince Yishun dies, his eldest son will inherit the title.

But if Li Jingxiao practiced medicine carelessly in the capital and cured everyone's illness, it would be difficult for the emperor to do his job.

Xia Shouzhong was delighted. He was just thinking about how to contact Taoist Jingyou to ask for a Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill.

Even the Ganoderma Lucidum Blood-Replenishing Pills, which contain 200-year-old Ganoderma Lucidum as the main ingredient, were mentioned by the women in the Jia family's backyard.

However, thinking about what the wife of the Jia family said, the Ganoderma Lucidum Blood-Replenishing Pills were related to Li Jingyou's cultivation of Taoism, and she would not show them to anyone easily.

Xia Shouzhong thought about it and decided to settle for the second best. Considering our family's reputation, three Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills would not be too much, right?
Since Jia Zheng could get it, Xia Shouzhong didn't think that his reputation was inferior to Jia Zheng's.

First, send a secret letter to Yangzhou to Lin Ruhai.

Xia Shouzhong took his men and went to Zhenwu Temple in a sedan chair, but naturally he could not see Li Jingxiao.

But the fact that he, a high-ranking eunuch, came to the door with the guards from the factory was a declaration in itself.

Those who are smart will definitely understand that Li Jingxiao has caught the emperor's eye.

Jia Heng was so frightened that he knelt down. Xia Shouzhong politely gave him a few words of advice, and then went to Jia's house on the way.

Sure enough, when Lady Jia heard the emperor praising Jia Zheng, her sad expression of many days turned into a smile.

He hurriedly asked Jia Lian to send someone to notify Jia Zheng in the yamen to go home, and asked Jia She, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian to accompany Xia Shouzhong and have some tea.

When Xia Shouzhong left the Jia family, there was indeed a silver note of five hundred taels in his sleeve.

It can be seen that the decline of a family actually starts with finances.

Five hundred taels of silver in exchange for the emperor's favor was indeed a big profit.

Later, the fact that Xia Shouzhong had gone to Zhenwu Temple first was known not only to the Jia family, but also to most of the powerful people around him.

After leaving the Jia family, Xia Shouzhong saw that it was still early, so he simply took a dozen or so men to the imperial mausoleum.

I thought to myself, I have gone to the imperial mausoleum in person to give you, Li Jingyou, some advice.

At least the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills are worth three hundred taels of silver, right?
After all, this old eunuch is really greedy for money.

Moreover, he was sitting in a sedan chair, out of the wind, and it was the eight strong men who took turns carrying the sedan chair, four of whom were tired. It was only after three in the afternoon when they arrived at the imperial tomb.

Unfortunately, Li Jingxiao went out to do feng shui again.

There was actually nothing to do in the imperial mausoleum. Instead of staying there like an idiot every day, Li Jingxiao simply went out in the morning with a team of small flags from the Daoluo Division, just like he did before.

He said he was going there to do business, but in fact, he took people out to practice martial arts and hunt wild game.

Although the weather was getting colder, the dozen or so people in the small flag were not only dressed warmly, but also wore a thick cloak and a warm hat.

Li Jingxiao treated the officials and imperial guards stationed at the imperial mausoleum, which brought him many benefits.

This small flag bearer not only ate well and dressed warmly, but also brought two tents with him when he went out, pulled by a horse-drawn carriage.

I practiced martial arts every day, and when I was tired, I went into the tent to rest, drink hot water, and grill some game or braised beef, lamb legs, etc.

At the beginning, the food and drinks were paid for by the entire small flag as a token of gratitude to Li Jingxiao for teaching him his art.

Later, Li Jingxiao started selling Sanhua Yulu Pills and Jiuhua Yulu Pills, and the soldiers in the small flag spontaneously began to help him find customers.

Although there are only two imperial farms around, there are many people who rely on them for their livelihood.

The eunuchs and the village heads all had money to make, and if they were sick, they could afford to take a Sanhua Yulu Pill that cost 10 taels of silver.

Over the past few days, Xiaoqi had found seven or eight wealthy people who wanted to buy Sanhua Yulu Pills without much effort.

But this time, Li Jingxiao wanted to eat these people in front of him.

Otherwise, there is no guarantee that these people will act as middlemen.

Although they sell at a high price, that is due to their connections and abilities.

But after Li Jingxiao came into contact with the imperial guards, he began to worry that the medicine in his hands would be sold to the grassland.

Li Jingxiao earned several hundred taels of silver from selling medicine, so naturally he didn't need his subordinates to give him gifts.

We went to Huangzhuang to buy food and drinks. A dozen people only had a meal of noodles with braised beef slices at noon, and five or six coins of silver a day were enough to eat their fill.

Even a sheep would only cost two taels of silver.

If you are lucky enough to hunt wild game, you can have it as a dinner.

That day, Li Jingxiao took Xiaoqi out for a stroll as usual. When they arrived at a village or a small town, he would send Xiaoqi's people out to ask tourists if there were any new customers.

By the way, you can earn experience by treating poor people.

When he had nothing to do, he would meditate and practice his internal skills, and at the same time teach a dozen soldiers the techniques of the Five Tigers Breaking Door Sword.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have said that he was not doing his job all day long and only knew how to cure diseases and save lives to gain fame.

In fact, almost all the villages and towns around the imperial farm knew about his miracle doctor.

The personal character level has also been increased from the previous level 3 (212/300).

Suddenly rose to level 4 (146/400)

In just half a month, he treated more than 200 people.

A small part of it is due to colds, but most of it is actually just minor ailments accumulated over years of work.

Whether you suffer from weak waist and knees, or back pain, just use one-tenth of Panax notoginseng powder to relieve most of the pain.

If you really get a serious illness, or even an incurable disease, even if you can't recover, at least you can suffer less.

Those who are suffering from illness and are living in misery will regard you as a miracle doctor if you can make them suffer less.

As for how long Sanqi Powder could relieve their pain, Li Jingxiao was powerless to say.

To put it bluntly, Li Jingxiao is not a miracle doctor at all.

The purpose of treating patients is to gain experience.
