Chapter 181 A Rich Gain

Chen Ku didn't know that he had invisibly snatched traffic from the three geniuses' headlines several times.

In the Medicine King Hall.

Many of the guys and apprentices had bandages and plaster casts on their heads. Those who were not injured were responsible for building the mourning hall. Not far away were the farm workers and carpenters who were recruited by Yaowang Hall to repair the walls and houses after daybreak.

Chen Ku, along with all the other survivors, bowed deeply to the huge mourning hall set up in the courtyard.

Inside were all the people who died in Yaowang Hall last night. Among the coffins in the front was the master Shi Nong Baosen of Baicaoyuan.

Huo Xiaoxia was in the mourning hall, crying in front of the old man's coffin.

Chen Ku still remembers the day when the old man led him into the Medicine King Hall. That day was a turning point in his destiny, and it allowed him to wear a long gown.

And this old man once wanted to take me as his disciple.

pity.

Before he could appreciate the old man's alchemy and boxing skills, the old man died in his sleep from a volley of crossbows fired by Chai Tiepu.

After the old man, the second most valuable deceased person was Lan Fuxi.

The senior brother who once warned Chen Ku.

The person who was alive and well yesterday has now become a corpse in the coffin.

The world is dangerous and life and death are just a matter of thought. The difference between the living and the dead sometimes lies in a moment of carelessness and inability to cope when sleeping.

As Chen Ku lamented, he couldn't help but sigh again at the dangers of the world and the cruelty of trying to survive in this world.

"You must, you must live well, live well, and live long."

Chen Ku looked at the dead man and couldn't help but clench his fists.

Next, at noon, Cao Shouxiong calmed people down. Kou Ming also showed his good manners and commended the Yaowangtang employees and apprentices who survived the battle last night. Those who made contributions were promoted to regular employees and apprentices on the spot, and were taught breathing techniques and fighting techniques...

At the same time, everyone received a reward of fifty taels of silver, and the dead received a pension of two hundred taels of silver.

Such generous rewards and compensations have dissipated the original sad atmosphere.

Chen Ku couldn't help but sigh at the shopkeeper and his senior brother's ability to control people, but at this moment, Cao Shouxiong came over, came to Chen Ku, and said with a smile:

"Master Nephew Chen Ku, everyone can see clearly that you were the biggest contributor last night. You killed Xie Qi, and teamed up with Coach Chai to eliminate the twenty most threatening divine crossbows for us. Finally, you helped Elder Yang kill Xie Qingfeng. For such a contribution... the two shopkeepers and I have discussed it overnight and prepared a reward that is most suitable for you."

"My reward?" Chen Ku's heart moved slightly.

While he was curious but did not say anything to continue asking, he saw Cao Shouxiong take a deep breath and look behind him. At this time, Qin Sifan and Zhang Yuanying came over at the same time.

Qin Sifan was holding a brocade box in his hand, and Zhang Yuanying was holding a piece of silk.

"Chen Ku, after the battle last night, after unanimous discussion among the three of us, we feel that for your contribution last night, there is nothing more suitable than these three things as a reward for you."

After Qin Sifan finished speaking, he handed the brocade box in his hand to Chen Ku and said:

"Why don't you guess what's in this box?"

Chen Ku looked at the box, and his heart moved, as if he had guessed something, especially when he saw the appearance of the box. He took a deep breath and said, "Is this a pill box?"

When Yaowangtang sells pills to the outside world, they are all beautifully packaged. The grade of the pill can be identified by the pattern on the box.

For example, a third-level elixir has three patterns, and a fifth-level elixir has five patterns...

And this box,

There are six lines!

This means that there should be a sixth-level elixir in this box, and there is only one sixth-level elixir and elixir recipe in the Medicine King Hall, which is...

"Five Elements Great Rejuvenation Pill?" Chen Ku couldn't help but exclaimed softly.

When he first started learning alchemy, Master Shang Yunfang told him that the most precious elixir in the Medicine King Hall was an elixir called the 'Five Elements Great Rejuvenation Pill'.

Chen Ku still remembers clearly that this pill was described by Master Shang Yunfang as having the miraculous effect of curing all internal and external injuries.

The key is……

After taking one pill, a person's strength can be increased by thirty years.

This pill is the only sixth-grade pill recipe that Yaowang Hall has.

Moreover, since the death of the forefather who founded the Medicine King Hall more than 150 years ago, no one has been able to refine a second furnace. A total of nine pills were produced that year, but now, more than a hundred years have passed, and there are probably only two, or even only one, left in the entire Medicine King Hall.

"Yes, it is the 'Five Elements Great Rejuvenation Pill'."

Qin Sifan smiled gently and said:
"This pill has been around for 150 years since the founder 'Sun Xingyun' created it. Successive shopkeepers have used it for themselves or kept it as gifts. Eight pills have been used up. Now there is only this one left in the world. It's yours now."

He handed the brocade box in his hand to Chen Ku.

Chen Ku was moved, and immediately asked: "But I heard that this pill can only be taken by the head shopkeeper?"

Could it be that

After the battle last night, he will be promoted to the position of chief manager as an exception?
Although he had already been chosen as one of the three 'young shopkeepers', was it still too early for him to become the chief shopkeeper and the head of Yaowang Hall?
"Chen Ku, you are making fun of me. Although I am the chief manager of the Medicine King Hall, I work harder on running the medicine shop than martial arts. This is mainly because I don't have much talent for martial arts. I am just an upper-middle level talent. In addition, running the shop has delayed me too much of my energy, so now I am only at the peak of the third realm."

Qin Sifan said:
"If this pill is given to me, it would be a waste. But if it falls on you, it can fully exert its magical effect."

Although Chen Ku knew that the shopkeeper was not the best fighter but the best at business, he still had to be hypocritical when faced with such a generous reward: "My master Yang Luchan is the most suitable person to receive this one and only Five Elements Great Rejuvenation Pill."

"It's different. Elder Yang himself admitted that he had already passed his peak period. Even if this pill was given to him, it would only be able to elevate him from the early stage of the fifth realm to the peak of the fifth realm at best."

Cao Shouxiong said:
"But you are different. You are already in the early stage of the third level of Jade Muscle. When you break through the sixth level of 'Array Network', take this pill. Maybe it can open up your 'body meridians' in one go and help you grow. It will be more beneficial to the future of my Medicine King Hall."

"Also, the rule that only the head shopkeeper can take the Five Elements Great Rejuvenation Pill has not been broken, because..."

Qin Sifan smiled slowly and said:
"After last night's battle, today we have jointly nominated you to serve as the future 'honorary shopkeeper' of Yaowang Hall by several owners of the 'Three Emperors Ancestors Association' in Chaofu City."

"Honorary shopkeeper?" Chen Ku said, "What is this?"

Giving reputation but not real power? It sounds like it would be useless.

"The reason why you are nominated as the 'Honorary Shopkeeper' is because we have also asked several bosses to recommend you to the Three Emperors Ancestors Association, and give you the opportunity to study in the 'Three Emperors Ancestors Association' in the provincial capital." Qin Sifan said with a smile: "Unless, in the future, you are unwilling to develop in the bigger world of the provincial capital, we are willing to keep you in Baojiao County. It is not impossible for me to step down and let you be the head shopkeeper." "Go to the provincial capital, of course I am willing to do that." Chen Ku said immediately.

He had not forgotten his elder brother Chen Xin's reminder that Baojiao County was not a place to stay for long. Now he had already vaguely discovered many signs that a large storm vortex was about to appear.

Moreover, you don't have to worry about starting from scratch when you go there. With the recommendation of shops, you can directly become a transfer student when you go there, and you may even get a study abroad subsidy.

"In that case, then don't say anything more. Just take this pill." Qin Sifan handed the pill box to Chen Ku.

Chen Ku finally accepted it.

Cao Shouxiong warned: "Remember, you must wait until you break through the sixth realm before taking this pill. The effect will be the greatest. It will be wasted if you take it in the Jade Muscle Realm. The same goes for the Tongmai Realm. The effect is not the best in the Neizhuang Realm either, because it is originally a sixth-realm pill suitable for the sixth realm, the 'array network'."

Now, only the talent and potential shown by Chen Ku can make this pill unleash its maximum power.

In the past, all eight pills were wasted.

After all, there hasn't been a warrior at the sixth level in Baojiao County for hundreds of years.

"Chen Ku, remember this." He said. He didn't need Cao Shouxiong to remind him, and he was not prepared to take it immediately. His third level of Jade Muscle Realm, with the blessing of Erlang Bian, was changing every day, and it was a natural thing. Of course, he would not waste this precious pill.

A sixth-level elixir, even in the capital city, is probably an extremely expensive and precious treasure.

"And these two. Didn't I just say that I would give you three rewards? On these two pieces of silk are the other two unique skills of Medicine King Hall, 'Medicine King Chasing Deer Fist' and 'Five Elements Qi Needle'..."

Zhang Yuanhai said:
"Last night, I heard that you were able to perform the Violent Ape Thousand-pound Staff, Piercing Sound Steps, and even the Sky Eagle Eight Arrows. This shows that your martial arts talent is enough to fully master five of the six unique skills of the Medicine King Hall. As for the remaining one, the 'Wild Bear Mountain-Splitting Axe', it was taken to the Three Emperors Ancestors' Meeting by a shopkeeper that year. If you go to the Three Emperors Ancestors' Meeting in the future, you may be able to collect all of them."

Chen Ku was delighted to see that even the second shopkeeper, who had previously had a grudge against him, came over to reward him on his own initiative.

He had already vaguely sensed it.

Yaowang Hall has completely regarded him as an object of full training. In fact, the expectations for him are no longer limited to this small piece of land in Baojiao County, but have reached the expectation that he will achieve a very high position in the Three Emperors Organization!
In a sense...

It is an all-round investment in him in advance without any hesitation.

"Don't worry, three shopkeepers. Chen Ku has received great kindness from the hall and will repay it tenfold or a hundredfold in the future!"

Chen Ku also sensibly gave the three shopkeepers a guarantee that would satisfy them.

Sure enough, when the three of them saw this, smiles appeared on their faces.

……

After receiving the three treasures.

Chen Ku turned to pay his respects to his master and explained the matter. Yang Luchan and Shang Yunfang already knew about this. Chen Ku looked at Shang Yunfang's arm and couldn't help but say, "Master, your hand, the Five Elements Great Rejuvenation Pill can..."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish, Shang Yunfang said solemnly: "Shut up, this pill can only be used when you break through the sixth realm in the future. Even if my hands and feet are broken, I will not obey you if you give me this pill. You must know that everything has a price, especially the weight of this pill. If I dare to use this pill to heal my broken arm and give up helping a rare genius in Medicine King Hall to break through to a further path, I would rather die!"

Chen Ku could not help but remain silent.

"Okay, okay, don't be so serious. It's just an arm. Your second master won't die. It's no big deal. It's just that his left hand can't hold a knife. He is not left-handed. You should adjust your cultivation. Don't let yourself get hurt after the fierce battle last night." Yang Luchan said, holding his pipe.

Chen Ku felt hot and sour in his heart. These two old men were so good to him.

From now on, I will treat you as my closest relative.

…………

With a lot of emotions, Chen Ku returned to his yard. His sister-in-law and old mother were already cooking.

Chen Ku greeted them and was relieved to see that they had gotten over the night's emotions. He then went back to his room.

Call ~
I let out a breath of foul air. I've been busy all night and half a day. Now it's finally time to take stock of the bad luck I've gained last night.

[Photo by: Chen Ku]

[Number of awakened images: 5]

[The number of changes that have been modified: Viper Dragon Change, Flowery Marten Change, Centipede Change, Fire Mouth Pot Change, Volcano Crow Change, Erlang Change, Red Tailed Bee Change...]

[Variable evil spirits: Four-level evil spirits (2), Three-level evil spirits (18), Two-level evil spirits (234), One-level evil spirits (1928)]

The two fourth-level evil spirits are Xie Qingfeng and Xie Qi.

The evil spirits of the third realm came from those powerful crossbowmen and some masters of the Chai Tie Pu who were killed by Chen Ku's shooting, including some masters of the second realm.

Most of the evil energy in the second realm comes from the fire evil energy, while the evil energy in the first realm is almost all from that nest of red-tailed bees.

"Let me see what Xie Qingfeng can come up with."

Chen Ku muttered to himself, then removed the changes in the fifth picture and shouted:

"Change!"

【Xie Qingfeng changes! 】

【Xie Qingfeng's transformation and change of form】

[Shape-changing part: Weapon Refining Technique (Great Mastery)]

Chen Ku was slightly startled, then ecstatic:

"I've opened blind boxes so many times, but I never won anything. This time, I finally won what I needed most."

He immediately looked at the other evil spirits, preparing to combine them into a 'weapon caster' after Erlang transformed. In this way, he would no longer have to use the shabby 'iron button dragon stick', but could forge the Ruyi Stone weighing more than 20,000 kilograms into a weapon at least at the level of a famous soldier, and could also transform the weapon into a handy weapon.

………………

And just when Chen Ku was busy with the work of transforming the evil spirit.

In the afternoon.

An invitation arrived in the lobby of Yaowang Hall while he was busy.

"Grandmaster Qin Yuxian and County Magistrate Shangguan Yun invited Yaowangtang to visit the back hall of the county government office, and specifically asked to bring along Shopkeeper Chen Kushao?"
