Chapter 9 Pharmacy

　　Chu family mansion is very big, but the place where Chu Huo, the usually unappreciated commoner son lives is not much, it is just an ordinary small compound, the scale is smaller than the rest of the three brothers. 　　Fusing the memories of the two lives, except for some important things, for the rest of the things Chu Huo's head was still a little confused, out of the council chamber, he thought for a while before he remembered where his place of residence was. 　　Pushing open the door of his compound, Gao Bei was waiting inside, seeing Chu Huo come back, Gao Bei greeted him and said: ''Your Excellency, are the proceedings over? Do you want to eat, I'll go prepare it for you?" 　　Chu Huo shook his head and said, "There's no rush first, where is the pharmacy for the family to receive cultivation resources? I haven't collected cultivation resources for a year, I should have accumulated quite a lot, right?" 　　Gao Bei's mouth moved, he wanted to say something, but he held it back. 　　Chu Huo said indifferently, "I know what you want to say, are you trying to say that I wasn't even qualified to receive them before, and that people aren't necessarily willing to give them even if I go now, is that right?" 　　Gao Bei smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to answer, in fact Chu Huo also knew what was going on. 　　As a concubine son, Chu Huo was not valued since he was a child, when it was time to cultivate there were no family elders to teach him, by the time he had already missed the best period of cultivation, only then did the Chu family send in a random guard to teach him to practice martial arts. 　　And every Chu family's direct lineage bloodline is qualified to receive a monthly cultivation resources, only these things have not fallen into Chu Huo's hands since childhood, they were all taken by someone else, that person is precisely the Chu family's eldest son Chu Kai. 　　This kind of thing Chu Huo himself didn't dare to go to Chu Zongguang to complain, the people in the pharmacy would be even less likely to talk too much, so by default the cultivation resources that should be given to Chu Huo were given to Chu Kai. 　　So now Chu Kai's strength was a notch stronger than Chu Huo and the others, which had a lot of credit to the former 'Chu Huo'. 　　Chu Huo looked straight at Gao Bei with both eyes and said, "Remember, those were the rules of the past, now, some rules can be changed." 　　Gao Bei was stared at somewhat straight by Chu Huo's gaze, and he hurriedly nodded. 　　"Lead the way." 　　The Chu Family's Pill Room was bustling, and there was a separate area that was all within the Pill Room's boundaries. 　　In fact, although the pharmacy was called a pharmacy, it produced two types of medicine. 　　One was the Golden Wound Pill which was an injury medicine sold to jianghu people, which was produced and finished by the pharmacy and then taken to the Chu Family's stores inside the Tongzhou Prefecture to be sold. 　　There was also another type of medicine that could be used to assist martial artists in their cultivation, such as the Qi Replenishing Pill and the Blood Concentration Pill. 　　This kind of pills materials are very precious, and some of the materials are not available in Tongzhoufu, and need to be purchased outside through the merchant fleet, and the failure rate of refining is also very large, so this kind of pills are basically not for sale, and are only given to the Chu family's internal personnel to use. 　　At this time, Gao Bei brought Chu Huo to the pharmacy, some of the underlings and stewards of the pharmacy looked at Chu Huo with a hint of color in their eyes, after all, they have never seen this second son in this place, what is he doing in the pharmacy today? 　　Chu Huo pushed open the door of a room, inside sat a forty something year old, brocade wearing pharmacy steward. 　　There were several stewards in the pharmacy, this person in front of him was only responsible for distributing cultivation resources to the Chu Family disciples, and was not the chief steward. 　　At this moment, seeing that someone suddenly pushed the door in, he subconsciously sat up straight, but then after seeing that the visitor was Chu Huo, he immediately leaned back in his chair again and asked carelessly, "So it's the Second Prince ah, I don't know what is the reason for the Second Prince to come to my pharmacy?" 　　At this time, Gao Bei, who was following behind Chu Huo, smilingly said, "Steward Zhou, it's like this, the son has come to receive his cultivation resources for this year." 　　That Steward Zhou froze for a moment when he heard this, and then he snorted and said, "Is the second prince making fun of me? Your cultivation resources have always been claimed by the Grand Duke, what do you care what I want?" 　　Chu Huo said indifferently, "Then why did you give the Grand Duke my cultivation resources? Did I give the word yet Lord Father gave the word?" 　　Steward Zhou froze at his words, does this kind of thing even need anyone to give the word? When the Grand Duke took your cultivation resources, you didn't even dare to fart, so of course they wouldn't bother to say anything. 　　Now that Chu Huo had come to question him, it made Steward Zhou feel that Chu Huo was just here to cause trouble, but for this Second Duke who had never been given much attention in the family, he had never cared. 　　Steward Zhou directly snorted coldly and said, "If the second prince is dissatisfied with the grand prince taking your cultivation resources, you can go directly to the grand prince to ask for them, wanting to take it out on me, second prince, you're afraid that you're overthinking it!" 　　Chu Huo's eyes revealed a hint of danger, but right at this moment, a person suddenly ran in and slapped that Steward Zhou to the ground, cursing, "Bold! How dare you talk to the Second Prince like that, is there any superiority or inferiority anymore?" 　　That steward Zhou covered his face and looked at the person in front of him with disbelief, "Grand Steward, why are you ......" 　　"Shut up! There is no place for you to speak here!" 　　The Grand Steward of the Pharmacy immediately snapped, interrupting his words. 　　This Pharmacy's Grand Steward was slightly chubby, and as he turned around to face Chu Huo, his face immediately turned from the ferociousness that he had felt just a moment ago, to a warmth that was incomparable. 　　"The people under me don't know what they are doing, second prince please forgive me, your cultivation resources my pharmacy are all stored for you, one won't be missing, there is also a recent alchemist who newly refined a furnace of excellent quality blood condensing dan, I also gave you a bottle of it, this will be loaded for you." 　　Saying that, that pharmacy's big steward immediately ordered people to load the things, respectfully handing them over to Chu Huo, and personally sending them out the door. 　　Turning around and closing the door, the Grand Steward looked at that Steward Zhou who was still covering his face with a stupefied look, and sighed, "Just now, I slapped that for your own good, if I hadn't, you would have been out of luck today." 　　Pharmacy so many stewards, this week steward is his beloved, so just now Zhou steward to the big steward without saying a word to slap him some unbelievable. 　　Of course now Zhou steward also dare not have a complaint, he just strange: "Big steward, why did you just have such a polite attitude towards that Chu ...... second prince?" 　　In fact, Steward Zhou wanted to say lower down, just now the big steward that look can be called groveling. 　　The big steward shook his head and said, "Remember, in the future, the attitude towards the second prince is more polite, even more polite than the other three princes, this second prince, is not the previous second prince." 　　Saying that, the Grand Steward then told him what happened within the Chu Family's council chamber earlier. 　　The big steward was in charge of the pharmacy, and was also considered to be one of the powerful figures within the Chu Family's stewardship, and he had just stood within the council hall and witnessed everything. 　　Previously, this Chu Huo had acted so crazily that he almost didn't beat Steward Liu to death in front of everyone, and that kind of gesture had sent chills down his spine when he looked at it. 　　As for Steward Zhou over there, he was even more shivering after hearing that. 　　Inside the steward and butler there is also a difference between high and low, he belongs to the lowest kind, while Liu butler as the Chu family's big butler, is the highest kind, he usually see Liu butler is to bow his head and salute. 　　As a result, even Butler Liu had been almost disabled on the spot by this Second Prince, and he had dared to be so rude to him just now, Steward Zhou felt that he was simply playing with his own hands. 　　Steward Zhou hurriedly said to the Grand Steward with tears of gratitude, "If it wasn't for you this time, I would have been out of luck." 　　The big steward sighed and said, "Remember, although we are all stewards of the Chu family, but an underling is always an underling, forgetting one's own identity can have serious consequences. Just like that Official Liu, who forgot his identity, and as a result, now not only will he lose face, but he will also have to lie in bed for a few months." 　　On the way back to his own compound, Gao Bei couldn't help but say to Chu Huo, "Gongzi, you were really imposing just now, the Pharmacy's Grand Steward were you so polite." 　　"Polite?" Chu Huo shook his head and said, "That's not politeness, that's awe. Good and evil fall on both sides, if you can't be good enough to make everyone respect you, then you can only be evil enough to make everyone afraid of you." 　　Gao Bei shook his head in some confusion, "I don't understand." 　　Chu Huo pushed open the door of the compound, "Of course you don't understand, if you understand, you wouldn't have mixed for so many years without even being a steward." 　　Looking at the slightly empty compound, Chu Huo said to Gao Bei: "Go find some wooden stakes to stand inside the compound." 　　"What does Your Excellency need stakes for?" 　　A flash of brilliance appeared in Chu Huo's eyes as he said, "To practice sword training!" 　　If one wanted to advance in the path of martial arts, what was needed was nothing more than the points of talent, perseverance, chance, and enlightenment, not before or after, but if one wanted to go to the pinnacle, one of them was indispensable. 　　For the current Chu Huo, his talent can only be said to be the middle man's posture, enlightenment temporarily do not know, chance Well, Chu Huo is aware of quite a lot, but he does not have the strength, but also can not grab. 　　So now Chu Huo can only work from perseverance. 　　Gao Bei went to prepare the stake, look at the sky is going to be dark, by the way, also let people send over the dinner. 　　Although this Gao Bei's ability was average, his work could be considered dedicated and careful. 　　Returning to his house, Chu Huo took out all those pills he received from the pharmacy, among them, the Qi Replenishing Scatter was two packs a month, and it should be twenty-four packs a year, but the Pharmacy's Grand Steward gave him thirty packs. 　　There is also the Blood Concentration Dan, three a year, but Chu Huo this bottle has ten, the quality is also top grade. 　　This qi supplement modulation is relatively simple, just grind some herbs according to a certain ratio into powder and mix it together, can replenish the qi to strengthen the body, to assist in cultivation, except that there are a few of them are more precious, in the province of Tongzhou want to buy can not be bought. 　　As for the blood condensation dan as the name suggests, is to help martial artists condense the body's qi and blood, the impact of blood condensation with the realm, the need for specialized alchemists to refine, the process is complex, there is a chance of failure, even if it is the Chu family every month only dares to refine a furnace. 　　Taking out a packet of Qi Replenishing Bulk, mixing it with water and swallowing it, in a short while, Chu Huo felt a hot current rising from his body, he hurriedly began to run the innate gong, refining this medicinal power.
