Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel shocked after hearing what his father Zhao Xiaotian said.

During this period of time, the "Five Ethnic Villages!" were peaceful. Zhao Xu had indeed relaxed his vigilance on internal management.

The words of his father Zhao Xiaotian instantly made Zhao Xuban wake up.

He also felt it was necessary to re-screen the "Five Ethnic Villages".

Once there is a gangster inside, the "Five Ethnic Villages!" will suffer disaster.

The two of them had been chatting until late at night without realizing it.

After Zhao Xu cleared the table, said goodbye to his father Zhao Xiaotian, left the place and walked towards home.

After returning to the bedroom, I saw that my wife Li Qingqing was still awake.

Zhao Xu first went to the bathroom and took a hot shower.

Don't look outside, it's freezing cold and the north wind is howling.

But in the north, due to floor heating, the temperature at home can always be maintained between 25 and 30 degrees, making it very comfortable to sleep at night.

After taking a shower, Zhao Xu wrapped a bath towel around his body and walked towards the bed.

As soon as he got into bed, he held his wife Li Qingqing in his arms.

"Qingqing, are you waiting for me?"

"I wasn't waiting for you."

"You smell so good, you must have just taken a bath."

"I have to shower every day, what's the big deal?"

"No, you smell like rose incense."

Seeing Zhao Xu screen out, Li Qingqing blushed.

Because "rose aroma" is particularly beneficial to sexual intercourse between couples.

She just wanted to try this, but she didn't expect that Zhao Xu had a very good nose and could smell it right away.

Zhao Xu turned over and fell on top of Li Qingqing.

"Ah! What are you doing? I..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kissed by Zhao Xu.

Winter nights are long, but for Zhao Xu and Li Qingqing, the time is very short.

After the clouds and rain in Wushan, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.

After Li Qingqing washed her body, she felt a little tired and quickly fell asleep holding Zhao Xu.

The next day, Zhao Xu went to the alchemy room early in the morning.

He wants to refine the "Strengthening Pill!", and he needs to refine at least a thousand pills.

Even if two alchemy furnaces are refined together, at most, more than 200 pills can be produced. It will take at least five times to complete.

Although it only takes seven days to refine the "Strengthening Pill", the five times added together will take more than a month.

However, Zhao Xu planned to open the furnace twice before the year and refine four to five hundred "Physical Strengthening Pills!"

In the remaining time, they still have to refine the Yuan-Guarding Pill, the Qi-increasing Pill, and the Breakthrough Pill, which can help warriors cultivate their abilities.

In addition, there are still about two months until the Chinese New Year.

At first, Zhao Xu and Li Qingqing made the decision for Nong Quan and would hold the wedding for Nong Quan and Xiao Jing at the end of the year.

After all calculations, there is only more than a month left.

At the end of the year, there will definitely be a lot of things to be busy with, including planning the Nongquan wedding.

After Zhao Xu prepared the medicinal materials, he called Zhou Ling and Zhao Han and asked them to come over and help make the elixir.

Strengthening elixirs are only low-level elixirs, but they must be watched over by someone.

In addition to refining alchemy, Zhao Xu also has some things to be busy with every day. With Zhao Han and Zhou Ling as his two assistants, Zhao Xu can save a lot of trouble.

Not long after, Zhao Han came to the alchemy room first.

As soon as I walked in, I smelled the strong smell of medicinal herbs.

Seeing that the alchemy room was filled with piles of various medicinal materials, he exclaimed: "Brother Xu, what are you doing? Why did you bring so many medicinal materials back?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "I want to refine a lot of pills this time, at least more than two hundred pills."

"Then what elixir are you going to make this time?"

"Strengthening Pill! By the way, it is especially suitable for people like you who are just starting to practice martial arts. After taking Strengthening Pill, you will strengthen your body and get twice the result with half the effort in your martial arts practice."

When Zhao Han heard this, he said happily: "Great! Finally, there is a pill that I can use. Brother Xu, I heard that you brought down the Jiang family in the capital, you are really powerful."

Zhao Xu said: "When you have achieved some success in martial arts, I will take you to explore the world."

"That's what you said! I'll be bored to death if I stay in the Five Ethnic Village every day."

"Xiao Han, put on your gloves and help me sort the medicinal materials first, and then help me wash the medicinal materials."

After Zhao Han responded, he tied a floral apron around his waist and helped Zhao Xu get busy.

Forty minutes later, Zhou Ling also came.

Let's help get busy together.

The three of them worked together and took a long time to sort out the medicinal materials.

Zhao Xu put the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace one by one according to the proportion.

This time there are two alchemy cauldrons, so the two alchemy furnaces can be refined together.

After making preparations, Zhao Xu turned on the fire.

Then, he started to stir-fry the medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace.

It didn't take long for the smell of medicinal herbs in the room to become stronger.

After stir-frying, Zhao Xu began to adjust the heat to medium and closed the lid of the alchemy stove.

Everything is difficult at the beginning!

The preparation work alone took a whole morning. It was only in the afternoon that the fire started.

Refining alchemy requires not only medicinal materials, but also elixirs such as cinnabar, mercury and other substances.

This time, Zhao Xu used cinnabar as the alchemy guide.

Zhao Han asked: "Brother Xu, I heard that the gunpowder in our country was accidentally made by those alchemists in ancient times."

"Yes!" Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Alchemy requires alchemy. Some elixirs need to add sulfur. Didn't you see that I added some mercury to the last elixir?"

"Won't you be poisoned?"

"No!" Zhao Xu smiled and shook his head. "Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was the emperor who loved alchemy the most and was also the longest-lived emperor in the Ming Dynasty. Among the elixirs he took,

Most of them contained mercury, but people were still living well at that time. But, what?

Everything must be taken in an appropriate amount, which is what we call a dose. If it is overdosed, even the elixir will be in vain. You see, Sun Wukong made a fuss in the sky and stole as many elixirs as the Supreme Lord, but his magic power still did not increase much.

Therefore, it is not that the more pills you take, the better."

"This time, if I can make a pill, I can make at least more than 200 pills. When the time comes, I will give you some, which will be helpful for your martial arts practice."

Zhao Han and Zhou Ling smiled knowingly, looking forward to the moment when the elixir would be completed.

When he was free, Zhao Xu told Zhao Han and Zhou Ling some interesting stories about the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that in the Ming Dynasty, many strange emperors were born.

There are those who like to fight crickets; there are those who were caught by the enemy, deceived others, and were released by the enemy; there are also those who like to take eyebrow medicine, but end up exhausted and exhausted.

Zhao Han and Zhou Ling burst out laughing after hearing these interesting stories.

The day passes quickly.

The next day, Zhao Xu was refining alchemy in the alchemy room.

Hu Yanping's phone suddenly rang.

When he saw that the call was from Hu Hexuan, he couldn't help but smile knowingly and picked it up casually.

"President Zhao, I'm coming to town! Can we meet and talk?" Hu Hexuan asked Zhao Xu.
Chapter completed!
