Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 131 Crimson Jade Soup! Amazing effects!

"Mr. Zhu's eight medicinal herbs will attack twenty-three gold coins, sixteen silver coins, and eight copper coins."

The waiter next to him quickly calculated the total price, and his smile became even brighter.

"Twenty-three coins—" Zhu Ge sighed helplessly.

He sold books and spiritual plants, but in the end, he spent most of the money.

This is a huge sum of money!

It has to be said that martial arts really burns through money.

Of course, Zhu Ge can also choose not to buy these elixirs.

However, these elixirs can all enhance or repair his physical body.

This elixir, which doesn't increase his power but rather enhances his basic physical attributes, is only beneficial to him and has no drawbacks.

So Zhu Ge paid the money directly.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhu, I'll go check the goods!" The servant took the money, counted the items, and then excitedly trotted away.

Cui Xu's disciple also stood up: "Master, I will go and retrieve the spiritual artifact now."

Cui Xu nodded: "Go ahead, hurry up, Mr. Zhu and I will wait here."

Cui Xu's disciple then bowed and took his leave.

"Mr. Cui, are you also a pharmacist?" Zhu Ge asked curiously, "Holding multiple jobs must be quite demanding, right?"

;

Whether it's the forest chief or the pharmacist, they are only doing it part-time and do not have the potential to cultivate the Great Dao.

In other words, whether it's the path of immortality, Confucianism, or anything else, one can become a pharmacist, a florist, or even the seamstress that Hua Liusha tries to become.

However, part-time work requires a lot of energy.

This is why Zhu Ge did not study the "Records of Suzhou Silk".

But Cui Xu is a Spirit-level Forest Chief, a Spirit-level Florist, and a Spirit-level Pharmacist.

Holding multiple jobs can be very distracting.

"I am only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and I have no hope of ever forming a Golden Core." Cui Xu shook his head: "I have a small family behind me. Rather than continuing to cultivate immortality, I would rather study herbal medicine and leave something for my family."

Zhu Ge nodded, understanding Cui Xu.

The same was true for Yu Xiucai before him; he was unable to break through to the second realm for many years and could only linger in the first realm.

In that situation, it would be better to learn some other part-time jobs to support the family.

"What's the situation like outside Jianshui City lately?" Zhu Ge asked again.

He was also curious about how the people inside the city viewed the siege by the monsters.

"The world is in chaos, and it is already remarkable that Jianshui City has been able to survive amidst the turmoil." Cui Xu sighed, "I have heard that two cities in my Honghe Prefecture have been captured and have become a den of demons and monsters."

"Two cities have fallen?!" Zhu Ge's pupils contracted.

Although it was anticipated that some cities within Honghe Prefecture would be able to hold out while others would not.

However, the fall of the two cities still greatly alarmed him.

"Mr. Zhu, you probably don't know this, do you?" Cui Xu sighed, "The Lord of Yuanyang City is seriously injured, and the Red River Dragon Python and the Plague God Sparrow are also in bad shape. As a result, countless demons, ghosts, monsters and gods are running rampant in the Red River Prefecture. The Three Realms have already taken control of the overall situation."

"How many three realms are there in my Red River Prefecture? In this wilderness, there are countless three realm monsters. Although they fight individually, once they unite, my human race will find it difficult to match them."

It does!

Zhu Ge strongly agreed with Cui Xu's words.

Outside this city, demons, ghosts, monsters, and spirits roam freely.

And what about the human race?

How many cities does the human race have in the Red River Prefecture?

If it weren't for the fact that the aliens were disorganized, probably none of the cities in Honghe Prefecture would have lasted a day.

While Zhu Ge and the others were chatting, the servant arrived with a string of maids.

The maids held various herbs in their hands; some were spiritual herbs, some were ordinary herbs, and some were in between, full of spiritual energy.

These are the ingredients for the elixir needed to make the congratulatory song, and they cost extra.

Then Cui Xu's disciple also brought several magical artifacts.

A low-grade spirit-level grinding pestle, a low-grade spirit-level kitchen knife, a mid-grade spirit-level medicine pot for boiling medicine, and some ordinary utensils for weighing.

It looks like a very professional tool; it's not aggressive, but it can be used to make elixirs.

"Mr. Zhu, I'll begin then. Please wait a moment." Cui Xu didn't hesitate and immediately stood up.

First, he instructed the maid to put up a screen to block Zhu Ge's view and ensure that the recipe would not be leaked.

He then moved the items from the wooden tray carried by the maid behind the screen, dismissed the maid, and proceeded to prepare the elixir behind the screen.

In this way, customers neither know the formula for the elixir they need, nor do they know that what they bought was actually used and that they were not cheated.

Therefore, Zhu Ge was very satisfied with this.

Half an hour later, Cui Xu's disciple brought out a bowl of soup that emitted a faint white light, along with a spoon in his hand, in which there seemed to be a black pill.

"Mr. Zhu, this is Red Jade Soup."

Cui Xu's disciple placed the bowl of soup in front of Zhu Ge, then picked up a spoon and said, "If Mr. Zhu intends to take it away, then you should prepare two containers, one for the soup and the other for the medicinal ingredients."

"When you want to take it, put this medicine guide into the soup, and then drink it within fifteen breaths."

Is this the Akagami-yu?

Zhu Ge was a little curious, then waved her hand: "No need to take it away, just drink it here."

Cui Xu's disciple nodded: "Then I will help Mr. Zhu add the medicinal guide."

As he spoke, Cui Xu's disciple gently placed the medicinal ingredient in his hand into the soup with a spoon.

"Sneer"

The next moment, the dark medicinal ingredient turned red immediately after being dipped in the soup, like a glowing red jade.

Even the soup, which originally emitted a white light, turned red, its faint glow resembling a red gemstone.

"Mr. Zhu, please drink quickly," Cui Xu's disciple hurriedly reminded him.

"Okay!" Zhu Ge didn't hesitate when she saw this, and immediately picked up the bowl and drank it down.

During this process, the medicinal guide seemed to gradually dissolve in the water, and Zhu Ge didn't feel any hard objects after drinking the whole bowl of soup.

Moreover, this soup has a sweet and sour taste, unlike the bitter and unpleasant medicinal soup in Zhu Ge's memory.

"what?"

However, not long after swallowing the medicine, Zhu Ge suddenly felt a warm current rising in her abdomen.

Zhu Ge's martial arts heart then beat slightly, releasing a wisp of blood energy that gathered in his stomach.

As soon as this heat flowed into the blood and qi, it rushed out of the stomach and entered Zhu Ge's liver and kidneys through the blood vessels and capillaries.

Zhu Ge's liver and kidneys are hardened by the "Great Sun Glass Body" over a long period of time.

But then it suddenly became scalding hot, as if it were gold or iron being forged.

In this intense heat, Zhu Ge could feel the enhancement of these two organs.

Strengthens the liver and kidneys!

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zhu Ge let out a long breath.

It must be said that the spiritual-grade herbal medicine is truly effective.

Zhu Ge felt that the enhanced liver and kidney function not only improved his detoxification ability, but also allowed him to last two more seconds in the next wind refining.

Don't underestimate those two seconds. Holding on for a few more seconds means that his entire body can become harder.

At that moment, he heard the surprised voice of Cui Xu's disciple: "Mr. Zhu, is this your first time drinking medicinal soup?!"
