My teacher is a bit strong

The five great magical arts and the two secret traditions are the greatest foundation on which the Eastern family relies. Except for the special requirements for the cultivation of the two secret arts, the five great magical arts do not actually have much qualification requirements. The better the aptitude, the easier it is to practice.

Among them, "Jingtao Shenjue" and "Xiaoyaozizijue" are the most practiced, followed by "Heaven and Earth Daojianjue" which exists as a separate set of exercises with "combined fencing skills" and the battle formation on the battlefield. "Seven Styles of Breaking the Army".On the contrary, "Knocking Heart Jue" is hardly practiced by anyone.

At this time, Fang Qianwen had reason to suspect that the practice of these five guards was probably a simplified version of "Seven Forms of Breaking the Army"—the Zongmen family often used the simplified and simplified versions of some advanced exercises as Enlightenment exercises of sect disciples and descendants of aristocratic families.Afterwards, as the cultivation of these disciples improves, their contribution to the family will increase, and then a more advanced version will be gradually taught.

And because of the foundation laid when I was young, even if I come into contact with a more advanced version, it is easy to master it on the basis of the former, so as to form a certain combat power to deal with the possible crisis of the family and sect.

The five nursing homes did not let Dongfang Kui go at will because of Dongfang Kui's identity, but checked Dongfang Kui's identity very carefully, and after verification, they were allowed to let Dongfang Kui bring Fang Qianwen in.

There is still a distance between the main house and the arch.

On both sides of the road, two vegetable gardens have been opened up. It can be seen that spiritual plants such as vegetables, melons and fruits have been planted before, but they were abandoned for some reason.

In the small courtyard, many maids were walking back and forth.

They looked in a hurry, with a bit of anxiety and panic on their faces, and several of them walked quickly towards the house with wooden basins filled with clear water and ice cubes.However, some people also came out of the house carrying blood-stained clothes, blood-stained stinky water and other objects.

Fang Qianwen frowned even tighter.

"How long."

"It's been almost a year." Dongfang Kui said in a deep voice, "The situation was not so serious at the beginning, and there were elders in the clan who accompanied A Tao to go..."

Speaking of this, Dongfang Kui's words suddenly stopped.

He coughed lightly, avoiding the name he almost said a little stiffly, and only mentioned slightly vaguely: "That place...and then prescribed some panacea for A Tao. It was really effective at first, and all the symptoms It disappeared soon. But after resting for half a month, when A Tao started to practice again, the injury suddenly intensified, and he was in a coma for a week before waking up."

"I guess, Yaowanggu's initial diagnosis was that he had developed a heart demon due to his cultivation, so he prescribed some elixir to suppress his mind, and asked him to rest for ten days and a half months, and then resume his practice after calming down." Fang Qianwen sneered and said in a calm tone.

Her voice was very calm, without any emotional ups and downs, she was just commenting on something.

But it was precisely because Fang Qianwen's tone was so calm, and what she said at this time was the same as Yao Wanggu's diagnosis at the beginning, Dongfang Kui was even more impressed at this time: "Yes... because of the seriousness of the situation, It was already impossible to send it to the Medicine King Valley, so the Alchemy King from the Medicine King Valley came here in person."

"Not surprising." Fang Qianwen shook her head, "The level of alchemists in Yaowang Valley is uneven...even if it is an alchemy king, if it encounters an unfamiliar situation, it may not be able to cure it...unless it is an alchemy Holy One."

As a faction, Medicine King Valley has its own ranks.

From high to low, they are Guzhu, Dansheng, Danwang, high-level alchemist, and alchemist.

Further down is the class of disciples and apprentices. Among them, apprentices are not allowed to touch alchemy, and they are not even allowed to watch. Basically, they can only be responsible for various chores, such as cleaning the alchemy residue, taking care of and planting spiritual plants, and running errands wait.

If there is an apprentice who is favored by the Alchemy King, or is recommended by a high-level alchemist and fortunately approved by the Alchemy King, then he can be promoted from an apprentice to a disciple, which can be divided into regular disciples and registered disciples according to the two situations. .Among them, formal disciples are divided into three types: external affairs, internal affairs, and personal transmission. However, whether it is external affairs or internal affairs, it is only a difference in welfare, but they all have the right to contact and try alchemy; while registered disciples only have the right to observe alchemy. No hands-on practice allowed.

Afterwards, after being approved by the Alchemy King, these disciples can be called alchemists after passing a series of assessments. They have the right to refine elixir for other monks, see doctors, and even use the name of Medicine King Valley to attract business for themselves. .

For alchemists, alchemists are just the beginning, after which they still need to pass a series of assessments to become high-level alchemists, and have the right to view some public alchemy recipes in Yaowang Valley.From a high-level alchemist to an alchemy king, this process is also repeated, but the difficulty is slightly higher, but because of the increased difficulty, once he becomes an alchemy king, Yaowanggu will recognize his identity as an elder , allowing him to recruit disciples, and even unconditionally view all the public records recorded in the valley.

If it was before, Yaowang Valley had a series of rigorous review and assessment systems, so the level of strength is naturally self-evident.

But I don't know when, Yaowang Valley has gradually become a little eager for quick success, so that the difficulty of the assessment has dropped, so there have been many so-called alchemy kings who only have a few high-level alchemy recipes in their lives—— Yaowanggu's assessment of pill kings is that as long as they can refine several fifth-order spirit pills of a certain quality, they will pass the assessment.

The "several fifth-order spirit pills" in the requirements did not specify the types, anyway, as long as they were fifth-order spirit pills, they could be counted.As a result, there will be many high-level alchemists opportunistically refining those fifth-level spirit pills that are relatively easy to refine, in order to seek the elder status of an alchemy king.

That's why Fang Qianwen scoffed at the so-called Pill King.

In her opinion, only the level of Alchemy Sage in Medicine King Valley can be regarded as a real alchemist.

Others are just clowns.

"How can the sage invite you so much?" Dongfang Kui smiled wryly.

There are not many alchemy saints in Yaowang Valley, and there are only a dozen or so in total. If their status reaches their level, naturally they don't need to look at other people. They bowed their heads.After all, these alchemy saints control nearly two-thirds of the circulation of elixir in the entire mysterious world, so no sect or family will offend these alchemy saints.

"So after the so-called alchemy king came, he still concluded that Dongfang Tao's recuperation time was too short, his state of mind had not calmed down, and his inner demons had not been completely purified, so he forcibly started to practice. As a result, his blood energy reversed and he became mad." Fang Qianwen sneered. He let out a sound, and then said, "So I prescribed some great tonic pills for you, and even better pills to calm your mind...I guess there are a lot of calming pills and lingyun pills among them, as long as you can enter the epiphany In the state of selflessness and selflessness, the so-called inner demons can naturally be pulled out."

"Yes." Dongfang Kui nodded, the embarrassment on his face deepened.

Obviously Fang Qianwen was not there, but every word she said seemed as if she was here at that time.

This made Dongfang Kui realize that Fang Qianwen's eyesight was indeed quite terrifying.

"Let me guess..." Fang Qianwen showed a pensive look, and then said slowly after a while, "Following the instructions of the alchemy king, Dongfang Tao only takes various supplements of qi, blood and true qi every day. He planted great tonic pills, as well as Zhenshen pills and Lingyun pills, in order to enter the realm of epiphany and completely eradicate the demons... As a result, he did not enter the realm of epiphany, and after half a year of nourishing, his body was flooded with a lot of blood. It is mixed with true energy and filled with blood, seeping blood on the surface of the body day and night."

"And the blood exudes a rotten smell, and not only that, his body temperature is frighteningly high, and monks with lower cultivation bases can't get close to him at all. He can't sleep yet, and his whole body has become quite sensitive. It hurts to the bone marrow when you touch it, and itches unbearably..."

Dongfang Kui was dumbfounded.

But he still nodded heavily, indicating that what Fang Qianwen said was completely consistent.

After pondering for a moment, Dongfang Kui looked at Fang Qianwen expectantly, and then asked, "Is this... is there any help?"

"How did Medicine King Valley say it?"

"The obsession is too deep, and there is unwillingness and obsession in the heart. Unless the Holy Pill comes, there is no cure."

"Ha." Fang Qianwen finally let out a sneer of disdain, "Yaowanggu has pushed it cleanly. It is obvious that the medicine was used indiscriminately without a clear diagnosis, which led to the aggravation of the condition, and finally the injury completely deteriorated."

"Then there is salvation?!" Dongfang Kui asked with surprise.

"Tell me the truth, how many days has it been since the first onset of this illness?"

"Three hundred... 61 days."

Fang Qianwen frowned instantly.

"What's the matter?" Dongfang Kui felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

"If you come here ten days earlier, maybe you can relax...even two days earlier." Fang Qianwen sighed, "I didn't expect that the number of 360 days has passed... You must know that this number of days represents the number of weeks. The number of stars in the sky, once this number of days passes, the injury will further deteriorate, alas..."

"No...it's hopeless?" Dongfang Kui's face turned pale.

"Yes." Fang Qianwen nodded, "But the price has to be increased. A five-clawed dragon fruit tree is no longer enough to pay for my visit... Oh, by the way, regardless of the final result of your negotiation, whether you decide to increase the price for me Make a move, but I will collect the outpatient fee for this five-clawed dragon fruit tree. If you want to renege on the bill, then I have no choice but to ask my master to collect the bill for you."

"Heh...hehe..." Dongfang Kui's face turned even paler, and he gave a stiff laugh, "You're joking, we will definitely not renege on our debts."

"That's good." Fang Qianwen nodded, "I have come here today, and I can't come in vain. I will suppress his pain a little bit so that he can sleep well for a day... As for Elder Dongfang, you'd better Go back and discuss with someone who can make the decision, but it is best to give me an answer within these two days, because if you decide to treat it, then I still need to make some preparations, if it is delayed for 360 to five days... huh."

"What will happen if the 360 ​​is delayed for five days?" Dongfang Kui swallowed, feeling a little bit of the fear he felt when he crossed the catastrophe that day.

"Then the price will increase."

"..."

Chapter 367 The Oriental Family Is Very Busy Today

The Eastern Family was originally the royal inheritance of the Eastern Dynasty in the Second Era, so not only did they adopt the palace-style architecture of the Second Era in terms of their architectural style, but even many of their habits still adopted the style of the Second Era Dynasty.

However, in order to improve efficiency, it has been slightly changed.

For example, the Eastern Dynasty originally had six departments, which were in charge of all affairs within the jurisdiction of the dynasty.

But now the Dongfang family is just a big family in the mysterious world, not as influential and controlling as it was in the Second Era, so naturally there won't be six families.Therefore, only the Elder's Pavilion was established, but the functions and powers of this family organization are actually similar to those of the old six departments, but the scope of jurisdiction has changed from all domestic affairs to all internal affairs of the family, with the distinction between external affairs and internal affairs.

Foreign affairs refers to foreign affairs, including diplomatic negotiations with other sect families, trade purchases, leader of disciples who go out to experience training, and so on.

Internal affairs refer to internal affairs, including the assessment, evaluation, selection, teaching of exercises, etc. of disciples in the clan.

Basically, the criteria for assigning external affairs and internal affairs are based on the actual combat ability and theoretical ability of the elders in the clan. To put it simply, the external affairs elders of the Eastern family are basically those who can fight; Elders, on the other hand, are mostly theoreticians with a little lack of actual combat ability, or they turned into internal affairs elders because they were unable to perform external affairs due to injuries.

In the Eastern family, the elders of foreign affairs have always been more powerful than the elders of internal affairs.

Dongfang Kui, as the elder of foreign affairs, actually has the right to decide whether to agree to the request Fang Qianwen mentioned earlier.It's just that when he saw the transaction list Fang Qianwen wrote later, he broke out in a cold sweat, so he could only submit the list back to the Elder's Pavilion, not daring to make decisions on his own.

In other words, he didn't want to take the blame.

At this time, a total of 12 people including Dongfang Kui were discussing.

Among the 12 people, apart from Dongfang Kui, there are six foreign affairs elders, four house owners and the contemporary head of the Dongfang family.

These 12 people did not work in the "Jinluan Palace" in the Changlao Pavilion, but in the "Royal Study Room".

The Patriarch of the Eastern Family will not participate in the usual discussions and arrangements of the Elder Pavilion, but they will make their own decisions.

However, if some matters cannot be decided by the elders' pavilion and are handed over to the head of the family for his decision-making, all the materials will be transferred to the "Imperial Study Room".If the head of the family has doubts or wants to discuss matters with other elders, the discussions will also be held in the "Imperial Study Room", and the content of these conversations will naturally not be made public.

"She opened her mouth like a lion! This is completely taking advantage of the fire!"

An angry roar roared in the "Royal Study Room" at this moment.

Several other people looked at the man who roared, but remained silent.

"Okay, third, what are you yelling at?" A middle-aged man with a long beard frowned and shouted.

"What am I yelling at?" The burly man burst out like a cat that exploded, "The person who has the accident is not your son, so you don't care, right? Someday you will If something like this happens to your son, don't worry about it."

"Third!" The middle-aged man's face became a little ugly, "What nonsense are you talking about! Did I say half a sentence that you will die?"

"Hmph." The burly middle-aged man snorted coldly, "If your son hadn't been out for so long, why would you need to pay this extra expense!"

The middle-aged man was full of anger.

But he didn't open his mouth to refute.

He is the current owner of the long house, and he is in charge of all the affairs of the long house. This time Dongfang Che was the leader, and it was also his recommendation.

It's not that the Eastern family has no other candidates, it's just that in the face of visitors from Taiyi Valley, if you choose a child from an ordinary family, it will inevitably be a little disrespectful, so you can only choose someone from the contemporary seven masters.It's just that apart from the injured Dongfang Tao, Dongfang Xi and Dongfang Lan are both in the fairyland. If one of them came forward, it would seem that their Dongfang family made a big fuss. The elder of the foreign affairs department was more straightforward.

Of course, there will inevitably be some careful thinking in it.

For example, let Dongfang Che accumulate more experience in foreign affairs, so that when he grows up in the future, he can safely transfer the position of house owner to Dongfang Che.Afterwards, he will work on the position of homeowner for a few more years, and in the future he will be able to serve as the elder of the foreign affairs when he enters the Elder Pavilion—the seven outstanding children of the Eastern Family have always been the elders of the foreign affairs when they enter the Elder Pavilion. The most outstanding disciple.

It's just that Dongfang Che's situation is more or less different.

The middle-aged man didn't want his son to be the first person to break the record, otherwise he would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire Eastern family.

But what he didn't expect was that Dongfang Che really caused him a lot of trouble.

"Our long house will pay one-third of the materials on the price list." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"Only one third?"

The owner of the third room immediately cursed again.

It's just that the meaning behind the words is quite obvious: if it wasn't for Dongfang Che's nonsense, there is no need to pay this extra fee at all.Therefore, the required materials on the list should be borne by your long room.

Listening to the burly man's words, the middle-aged man's face became more and more gloomy.

He sneaked a glance at the Patriarch, only to find that the Patriarch, whom he should be called the Heavenly Grandfather, had not opened his eyes, but still had his eyes closed, and his heart sank.His recommendation before was successful, a large part of the reason was because the patriarch was from the eldest family, so he actually gave the eldest family some preferential treatment—of course, the most important thing was that Dongfang Che was cultivating On the other hand, it is really upbeat.

"Half at most." Sighing, the middle-aged man felt a little depressed.

"Let me tell you, no way!" The owner of the third room continued to sneer, "This matter is the problem of your first room, why do you need us, the third room, to help you out? There is no such good thing in the world."

"you……"

Seeing the noise of the two brothers, the other elders and the second and fourth relatives around did not speak.

Because they are very clear that once they speak, the long room will definitely drag them down together, and then they will definitely have to share the supplies on the list, which is not a good thing for them.

The Dongfang family has great influence in Dongzhou, so naturally there are many industries under its name.

But it is different from the unified affiliation and assignment of other sects and aristocratic families.

The properties of the Oriental Family have always been managed in a divided manner - each of the four houses owns a property, and the Changlaoge also owns a part.

Basically, the Eastern family will not provide any resources to the fourth house and the elders of the clan, but will be completely self-sufficient - the so-called management of all affairs of each house by the four-bedroom house owner naturally includes the management of these properties , at your own risk.

The reason why the long house and the second house have been strong in the past few years is that they are "business-savvy", manage their respective industries in an orderly manner, and can harvest a lot of resources every year.

Similarly, all the income of the Elder Pavilion is also obtained from the property managed by their Elder Pavilion - as long as the owner resigns and transfers to the Elder Pavilion, the income of each house has nothing to do with them, and their income can only be obtained from The Elder Pavilion makes withdrawals.

If the Changlao Pavilion or any other house is not managed well, the consequences will be very serious.

So at this time, no matter whether it is the elders' pavilion, the second bedroom, or the fourth bedroom, they will naturally not help. After all, no one wants to be a good person-although the list Fang Qianwen made is quite expensive, but it is very well-measured. It will only make the Eastern family feel heartbroken, but it will not turn against their people who are too similar.

It's just that Fang Qianwen doesn't know the internal situation of the Dongfang Family - if the materials on this price increase list are shared by the four houses, it is actually not unacceptable, but if it is completely paid by one of the houses, then it is not. It's as simple as hurting muscles and bones.

At this time, the quarrel between the long room and the third room has gradually heated up.

The long house was only willing to provide half of the resources required on the list, but the third house firmly disagreed.

"okay."

Finally, Dongfang Haowen, the current Patriarch of the Dongfang Family who had been keeping his eyes shut all this time, finally couldn't help but speak.

"The long room is responsible for half of the supplies, the third room is responsible for a quarter, and the remaining quarter is for me."

The Patriarch of the Eastern Family is not without any benefits.

He does not participate in any property management of the Eastern Family, and only needs to distribute dividends once a year—5.00% of the annual income of the Fourth Household and the Elder's Pavilion needs to be turned over to Dongfang Hao, the current head of the Eastern Family.

But this wealth does not belong to the Patriarch of the Dongfang Family, but to all successive heads of the Dongfang Family.

In other words, whoever becomes the patriarch has the right to use this resource.

Of course, in order to avoid excessive profligacy and waste, there are naturally some limitations.
