Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 124: Hey, you quack doctor, don’t run away
Ban Yiluo sighed, lowered his head and sat down.
Tang Zheng felt that if there were cigarettes in this world, lighting a cigarette for Ban Yilou now would definitely be particularly appropriate.
"Twenty years ago..." Ban Yilou's voice was low and slightly hoarse, "In order to become a casting master, my friend wanted to take a risk and try to introduce the Sun and Moon in the third life palace at the same time. Therefore, he prepared a medicine in advance to deal with the possible imbalance of the life palace."
Tang Zheng thought of his sword and dagger: "It was the one who forged this dagger...your friend? Yes, there are also candied figurines and candied haws. "
Ban Yilou nodded: "It's him. The prescription at that time was written in two copies on a torn piece of paper. One was for when the power of the sun prevailed, and the other was for when the power of the moon prevailed... No one thought that these two kinds of star power could coexist in the same fate palace, so he had to be fully prepared."
Only then did Tang Zheng understand that although Ban Yilou seemed to know everything, he was actually just a fake Doraemon who knew a little bit of everything but was not proficient in them. The real Doraemon was someone else.
If his friend had already lit up the third life palace twenty years ago and had never failed to attract the stars since then, he might have the strength of five or six stars now!
"Did his plan of two stars in one palace succeed?" Tang Zheng asked.
"He gave up." Ban Yilou shook his head. "In the end, he decided to continue using the alternating star-guiding method of the sun and the moon. However, the prescription remained with me."
"What about the prescription?"
"I lost it."
Xu Qingyan listened for a long time and finally heard the key point...
The prescription is missing!
Without a prescription, they had already seen the effect of the medicine Ban Yilou had prepared half-heartedly from the roasted chicken.
"You are a quack doctor who has done so much harm to people." Tang Zheng stroked his chin. "The snacks your friend made are pretty good... There should be nothing wrong with the prescription. We need to find it out!"
"Save your energy. I've been looking for it for two days and can't find it." Ban Yiluo had no hope at all.
"Theoretically, it's impossible to find a prescription from twenty years ago." Xu Qingyan shook his head. "But didn't Thirteen propose a method..."
Tang Zheng immediately made a stop gesture.
Of course he also remembered the method Thirteen mentioned...
Eat it raw!
Directly swallow the monster's inner elixir !
It's very wild and exciting. If he really can't find a prescription, his only choice is to eat it raw.
"Can you two stop looking like the world is ending? This isn't as hard as you think." Tang Zheng smiled. In the games of his previous life, the task of finding things was just a routine task that could only exist as a low-difficulty pre-task. "Just provide me with a few things..."
Xu Qingyan's gaze suddenly became deeper.
How many things?
Find the prescription forgotten twenty years ago?
What a joke! How can this be possible!
However, Tang Zheng did not even look at him again, and started listing the conditions directly: "The last time you saw the prescription, what you were doing at the time, and a description of the scene within 20 meters around you! Start!"
"The last time I saw the prescription was in the winter five years ago," Ban Yilou recalled. "It was snowing in Wulong Town at that time..."
"Very good, it shortened the time by fifteen years." Tang Zheng nodded with a smile, "Continue!"
"A lot of boxes of martial arts books just happened to arrive that day, so I registered them at the counter, categorized them, and prepared to put them in the cabinet... As for the scene within 20 meters..."
"No need." Tang Zheng simply opened the shop door, opened the cabinet door, and climbed onto the bookshelf of martial arts books.
Ban Yilou hurriedly followed him in, and when he looked back, he saw Xu Qingyan was about to follow him in, so he quickly stopped him: "You, can only stand at the door."
Xu Qingyan didn't insist and just stood at the door and watched.
Tang Zheng pointed at Ban Yilou and asked: "How often does Jubao Pavilion deliver martial arts books?"
"About two or three years..."
"Okay, then find me the one that belongs to the batch that arrived five years ago." Tang Zhengdao.
"..." Although Ban Yiluo didn't know what he was up to, he still picked up a book and gave it to him.
Tang Zheng picked up the book, looked at the spine, the ink print, and the sound of tapping the paper, nodded, compared the book, and quickly picked up the books on the bookshelf and started to read them.
From every row of every shelf, he usually only took one or two books, glanced through them quickly, and then put them back.
Xu Qingyan stood at the door and watched quietly.
"Are the ones you're looking through the batch from five years ago?" Xu Qingyan asked calmly.
"Yes." Tang Zheng answered, but his hands did not stop moving.
"How do you know it is?" Xu Qingyan asked again.
"Of course I use my eyes!" Tang Zheng glanced at Xu Qingyan, "How about that? Can you smell the year of the book? If you can, come up and help."
"..." Xu Qingyan's eyebrows twitched, "I'm not a dog!"
"Who said you were a dog!" Tang Zheng turned around and pointed at Xu Qingyan, "That kind of high-class job could be called a wine taster... Ah, bah, a book taster!"
Ban Yilou was stunned for a moment...
Is there such a profession in Xingyao Continent?
Xu Qingyan stood aside and said nothing more.
Then, the only sound in the cabinet was the rustling of pages turning...
Xu Qingyan and Ban Yiluo, looking at Tang Zheng's actions, had actually already figured out that the prescription might have been accidentally slipped into a martial arts book that had been delivered.
But, with Tang Zheng’s speed of flipping through books, what could he find?
What kind of eyesight is needed to be able to see a small piece of paper stuck in the rapidly turning pages of a book?
But just as Xu Qingyan was thinking this, Tang Zheng had already taken a book from the eighth shelf of the twelfth shelf.
He took it down and opened it, and inside was a yellowed prescription!
"This... is... that simple?" Ban Yiluo simply couldn't believe it. The thing he had been looking for for several days was found by Tang Zheng in less than an hour with just a casual scratch.
"It's that simple." Tang Zheng spread his hands and said with a smile: "But I'm lucky!"
Because, if this book had been sold when he purchased it before, he might have to go through more trouble.
Of course he could wait.
But how long his First Life Palace can wait is not up to him!
…
With the accurate prescription, Ban Yilou is still very reliable.
He went to the cabinet to get various other auxiliary medicines again. In just a quarter of an hour, he took out a small box of red, almost transparent pills.
A pure solar power emanated from the box of pills.
The fragrant smell of medicine made the star power in Tang Zheng's body surge even more strongly, dozens of times stronger than when he ate the red fruit.
"Okay. Let's go catch another chicken..." Ban Yiluo said, holding the medicine box.
"No need." As soon as Tang Zheng saw the color of the medicine and the resonance of star power, he knew that it was much more reliable than what Ban Yilou had made himself.
"After all, my friend is a latecomer... Refining medicine is not his pursuit, but just because he can't afford good elixirs, so... compared to the works of famous doctors in the Tianyi Valley, his prescriptions will still have some side effects..." Ban Yilou reminded.
"For example?" Tang Zheng just swallowed one and he felt the star tide rushing up with a "boom". He slightly moved his starting posture, and after a set of dagger techniques was completed, two strands of star power were born in the star veins!
This is two-star power!
Logically speaking, the power of two stars should be much more difficult to gather than the power of one star!
But Tang Zheng kept running the dagger technique, and after one set, two to four strands of star power took shape. The feeling of the star power was extremely smooth, like the sea blown by a strong wind, with star tides one after another...
"For example...your beard..." Ban Yiluo pointed at Tang Zheng's chin hesitantly.
Tang Zheng also noticed the itchy feeling on his chin, but he obviously didn't care about any side effects now.
The star tide surging through his body told him that he now needed a quiet place to practice, practice, and practice until he was exhausted!
"Thank you, boss. I'll treat you to a drink some other day." Tang Zheng waved at Xu Qingyan, turned around and got on the carriage at the door.
"Hey... remember to take one pill a month, don't forget. Also, the six hours after each dose of the medicine is the fastest time for your cultivation, so you must seize the opportunity..." Ban Yiluo hurriedly chased after him.
"I got it..." Tang Zheng's voice, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, disappeared far away at the end of the long street.
In the carriage running along...
Xu Qingyan said quietly: "Why is it in the direction of Tangjiabao? Aren't we going to find Master Lu Huang?"
Tang Zheng shook his head: "Didn't you hear what Ban Yilou said? You have to hurry up within six hours after taking the medicine!"
"Then you..." Xu Qingyan looked at the sky.
"I'll go find Lu Huang tomorrow and tell him about the loss of the sheath. I also need to start forging the secondary equipment." Tang Zheng half-closed his eyes, gathering his strength. "But, tonight, I'm going to retreat!"
Xu Qingyan nodded.
When he arrived at the intersection of West Street, he stood up in the carriage and patted the dust off his body: "I'm leaving first."
"Would you like to come with me? Food and lodging are provided throughout the trip. It's a rare opportunity!" Tang Zheng just opened his eyes slightly.
"Whether it's Yinlan Villa or Tangjiabao, they have little to do with me. Before, I only recognized Lan Shaoze, but now, I only recognize you!" Xu Qingyan shook his head.
"Yeah." Tang Zheng shrugged, "Then go ahead."
"If you need anything, send someone to find me in the Tianxiang Room of Yimeng Pavilion." After saying that, he jumped directly off the carriage.
"Yimeng Pavilion? Tianxiang?" Tang Zheng pondered the name for a moment, "Who has ever mentioned it before..."
Heavenly fragrance... Heavenly fragrance...
Isn’t she the courtesan in the largest flower shop in Wulong Town?
Tang Zheng smiled.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qingyan's life is quite comfortable.
The carriage continued to move towards the Xinglai Inn on East Street. Tang Zheng felt the perfect balance restored in the First Life Palace, and the corners of his lips curled up.
It all depends on what kind of improvement these six hours tonight can bring to him!
