As it got late, Su Chen returned to Yaowang Villa.

In the following days, he felt something was wrong and found that Zhang Tieniu and Yang Caizhi and his sisters were trying their best to please Li Kui Pharmacist.

Once, Su Chen saw Zhang Butcher visiting Zhang Tieniu from Yaowang Villa and brought Zhang Tieniu a large bag of bacon, sausages and local products to Zhang Tieniu, but he didn't see Zhang Tieniu bring it to eat. They were all hidden under the bed. The next day, all of these things disappeared.

A few days later, Su Chen helped do miscellaneous work in Li Kui's private kitchen, and accidentally saw these familiar bacon and local products. This was clearly what Zhang Tieniu gave to his master privately without telling the other brothers.

Even a foolish mind like Zhang Tieniu knows how to give gifts, let alone a shrewd person like Yang Caizhi. He must have given many good gifts to his master on his back with other brothers.

Su Chen couldn't help but wake up suddenly.

Over the past few months, the elimination of his outer disciples whom he has forgotten every six months has emerged in his heart again. Obviously, Yang Caizhi, Zhang Tieniu and others have never forgotten this important thing.

Several months have passed in this flash.

Once the six-year period arrives, Li Kui Pharmacist will select one of the five outer disciples to eliminate them and demote them to work in a choreograph hall. There is no specific way to eliminate who is, and it is entirely up to the master to decide.

Su Chen woke up and couldn't help but carefully calculate the advantages and disadvantages of the brothers, who is the most likely to be eliminated?

The five outer disciples have learned some introductory pharmacies and introductory martial arts over the past few months. Their level is very low, so naturally there is no question of who can learn better.

It is hard to tell the difference between strength, and I am afraid it has to be compared with other aspects.

Yang Caizhi is smart and sweet-mouthed. He always flatters Li Kui and is calm and flatters. He wants to be in front of his master in everything, which is very favored by his master, and the other brothers and sisters are unable to get along with him.

Zhang Tie Niu was very strong and strong. He rushed to do the rough and strong work of carrying water, chopping firewood, and carrying in the yard, but others could not compete with him.

The master saw it and had no credit, at least he had a hard work.

The two girls, Qin Huihui and Kong Xinqiao, are meticulous. Although they are not as good as the two senior brothers, they are usually well-behaved and are highly praised by Pharmacist Li Kui.

Only I have never thought of going there to please my master... Think about it carefully, there is nothing I like about me that I am worthy of my master's liking.

When Su Chen thought of this, he felt a little depressed.

In the past, when he was in the Zhouzhuang Water Town, he was used to being in the wild since he was a child. He climbed trees and caught birds by himself, went into the water to catch fish, and just wanted to be happy. He didn't have to worry about please others.

In the past few months, in front of Pharmacist Li Kui, he has only been careful in his words and deeds, and has devoted himself to studying pharmacy and martial arts, hoping to get his master to praise him.

But Li Kui's eyes were always deserted when he looked at him, and he never praised him for his hard work.

His relationship with his master was very indifferent.

After counting this, I had almost no advantage in the master's mind, and I was afraid that I would be the first disciple to be eliminated.

When Su Chen thought of this, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"No! There are three months left, I have to hurry up and do something! Once I am eliminated by my master, I will no longer be an apprentice, but will be downgraded to become the lowest-level servitude disciple of the Medicine King Gang."

In the Medicine King Gang, the apprentices who studied with the pharmacist were treated completely differently from those who were eliminated by the master.

Apprentices have many preferential treatments, such as free food, clothing and housing, and free reading in a library in Yaowang Villa.

But if you are eliminated and become a traitor, you will automatically lose these preferential treatments.

From then on, the errand disciples had to earn money to support themselves. Not only did they ask for money for food, but they even had to pay for reading books in the library.

"But it's too late to please Master now. No matter how sweet my mouth is, it's not as heavy as a few pounds of bacon. I'm penniless and can't compare to Yang Caizhi, Zhang Tieniu and others. My family is willing to send money to please Master."

Su Chen thought hard for a long time.

Since he is very likely to be eliminated by his master, he has to take advantage of these last few months to hurry up and do the most important things.

Soon, Su Chen thought of an important thing that concerns his life.

His initial idea of ​​entering Yaowang Villa was, of course, to make some food with Yaowang's help, so as not to starve to death on the streets of the county town.

But there is another purpose, which is to learn medicine and cure your own strange "blue stone tears".

Now that he has become a disciple of the Medicine King Gang, he naturally has no worries about food and clothing.

But if my "blue stone tears" strange disease cannot be cured, it will threaten my life at any time.

Originally, Su Chen was not in a hurry, thinking about taking his time and waiting for the pharmacist Li Kui to learn more pharmacists, and then he would think about his strange disease.

But now it seems that he is likely to be the first to be eliminated by his master and does not have much time to learn more from Li Kui Pharmacist.

While I am still an apprentice, I can read medicine books for free in the library for the remaining three months to see if there is any prescription that can cure my strange disease.

...

In the thirteen counties of Wujun, the Medicine King Gang is one of the five most powerful gangs in the world. The disciples in the gang carefully studied medicine, and naturally the library collected a large number of medicine books for their reference.

The library is located in the heart of Yaowang Villa.

For any big gang in the world, all kinds of books are the core and they try every means to collect them. Those gangs in the world that do not accumulate strong secrets are all small gangs and cannot become a climax.

For nearly one or two hundred years, the leaders of the Medicine King Gang have worked hard to manage and accumulated strength. They collected thousands of books from the world and placed them in the library for reference by their disciples in the gang.

After hundreds of years of strong accumulation, the Medicine King Gang has a thriving momentum of the Jianghu Gang.

Yes, the importance of a library is no less than that of a gang's bank.

In such an important place, there are naturally disciples from the Sword Hall, one of the five halls of the Medicine King Gang, on duty here.

In the Sword Hall, only the most trusted core disciples who can endure loneliness and trust are qualified to sit here and are called the Chateau guardian.

Once the guardian chooses to stay in the library, he will be in seclusion here for ten years and will not leave without permission.

Of course, the guardians enjoy many privileges, and can read all the books without restrictions, and receive a high salary every month for cultivation.

The ten-year period of the cabinet guards ended. Once they left the customs, they were often top-notch masters who emerged from the Medicine King Gang.

There are five floors of pavilions in total, and the books inside are piled up like mountains, mainly including medicine books, martial books, and miscellaneous books. Each floor requires different identity permissions before access is allowed.

There is no need to say much about the uses of medicine and martial arts.

Miscellaneous books include various travel notes, legends, idle stories, or biographies of countries, geography, history books, etc., which can broaden the horizons of disciples and understand the great world outside Gusu County, so as not to all disciples of the Medicine King Gang become a group of ignorant swallows.

According to the grade and price of the book, it is classified and placed on different floors.

The first floor loft below, the disciples who are apprenticely can go in and read for free, all of which are very ordinary books. However, if they are eliminated by their master and become disciples of the serious cousin, they must spend money to go in and read.

The second floor requires inner disciples, pharmacists, deacons at each hall and other identities to be qualified to enter and read books for free. Other disciples need to spend money to borrow and buy books here.

On the third floor, you must be a noble pharmacist or above before you can go up.

The fourth and fifth floors treasure high-level classics, so the senior management in the gang can view them.

Outer disciples like Su Chen were still studying with the pharmacist, and were only allowed to read books for free in the first floor loft. However, they could not be taken away, and could only be read in the library.

Su Chen has been an apprentice for three months and has completed the reading and stating of words and can understand most of the herbal books.

Every morning, I temper my fists and feet against hardwood stakes in the pharmacist courtyard and temper my lower dantian. In the afternoon, I followed pharmacist Li Kui to identify herbs in the pharmacy with other apprentices.

In the evening, after dinner, he did not return to his yard to rest like other disciples, but hurried to the library and took advantage of the only free time in the evening to read the medicine book.

On the first floor of the library, there are hundreds of bookshelf rows, densely packed with tens of thousands of books.

Some old and tattered books were even piled up, and were randomly piled up in the corners of the walls, which were piled up higher than those of several people, and the area was covered with dust.

Su Chen specializes in finding medicine books for strange and difficult diseases, and wants to find cases about the strange disease of "Blue stone tears".

But this is not easy.

You should know that although there are countless ordinary medicine books, medicine books with rare and complicated diseases are very rare.

There are thousands of medicinal books in the library, and at most dozens of them are dedicated to the strange and complicated diseases.

After all, ordinary doctors in Gusu City rely on curing diseases to support their families. The diseases that ordinary people suffer from are ordinary typhoid fever, colds, pain, etc. The medicine books of course record some common diseases.

A case of strange and complicated diseases may not be seen in a year or even several years. If you specialize in strange and complicated diseases, even the most skilled doctor will starve to death.

Because of this, when Dad Su and Aunt Su took Su Chen to look for medicine to treat the disease in the huge Gusu County, but no doctor in any pharmacy shop could tell what disease Su Chen had.

Finally, at Hanshan Taoist Temple, the first foreigner Hanshan Zhenren, in Wujun, diagnosed Su Chen with the cause.

Su Chen spent several nights to find all the medicine books for strange and complicated diseases on the first floor of the library, with a total of forty or fifty books, and read them one by one.

But in any medicine book with strange diseases, no strange diseases like "Blue stone tears" were found.

"How could it not be? Isn't anyone except me who has had this strange disease?...Isn't it right? If the doctor of the Myrtman has seen this strange disease, how could Hanshan Zhenren say that I was jealous of God and got the disease of God?"

Su Chen was very upset.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly thought of a question. True Man Hanshan was a senior Taoist priest, not a pharmacist, and what he learned was not medicine, but Taoist craft.

Maybe you can discover something in Taoist scriptures.

When Su Chen thought of this, he couldn't help but become excited and immediately searched for various Taoist books among the miscellaneous books in the library.

Finally, among dozens of Taoist books with old pages and thick dust, Su Chen was surprised to find some sentence descriptions similar to his illness.

"Everyone has a soul, which is located in the 'Niwan Palace'. The warriors commonly call it Shangdantian. Taoists call it Niwan Palace Zifu, also known as Lingshan."

"Lingshan is the heart."

"The eyes are clear and the heart is clear. The spirit mountain breaks, and the vital energy is discharged. The vital energy is discharged and overflows from the eyes."

A few vague descriptions made Su Chen's expression shocked, his eyes widened, and he was surprised.

Master Li Kui never taught him what "primordial spirit, spiritual mountain" is. He simply mentioned the upper dantian to refine the spirit.

Su Chen didn't understand what it means to refining the gods.
