Meet The Leader

The Chu family's mansion is very large, but the place where Chu Xiu, a concubine who is not valued on weekdays, lives is not very big. It is just an ordinary small courtyard, and its scale is smaller than that of the other three brothers.

Combining the memories of the two worlds, except for some important things, Chu Xiu was still a little confused about the rest. After leaving the council hall, he thought for a while before he remembered where he lived.

Pushing open the door of his own courtyard, Gao Bei was waiting inside. When he saw Chu Xiu coming back, Gao Bei greeted him and said, "Young Master, the discussion is over? Do you want to eat, the villain will prepare it for you?"

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, where is the pharmacy where the family receives cultivation resources? I haven't received cultivation resources for a year, so I should have accumulated a lot, right?"

Gao Bei's mouth moved, he wanted to say something, but he held it back.

Chu Xiu said lightly: "I know what you want to say. Do you want to say that I was not qualified to receive it before, and now I am not necessarily willing to give it to others, right?"

Gao Bei smiled awkwardly and did not dare to answer. In fact, Chu Xiu knew what was going on.

As a concubine, Chu Xiu was not valued since he was a child, and there was no family elders to teach him when it was time to cultivate. When he had missed the best period of cultivation, the Chu family just sent a guard to teach him martial arts.

And every bloodline of the Chu family is eligible to receive a training resource every month, but these things never fell into Chu Xiu's hands since childhood, and they were taken away by others, and that person was Chu Xiu. The eldest son, Chu Kai.

Chu Xiu didn't dare to go to Chu Zongguang to complain about this kind of thing, and the people in the pharmacy were even less talkative, so he gave Chu Kai the training resources that should be given to Chu Xiu by default.

So now Chu Kai's strength is one level stronger than that of Chu Xiu and others, and there is a lot of credit for the former 'Chu Xiu'.

Chu Xiu looked directly at Gao Bei and said, "Remember, those are the old rules. Now, some rules need to be changed."

Gao Bei was stared at by Chu Xiu's eyes, and he nodded quickly.

"Let's lead the way."

The Chu family's pharmacy is very lively, and there is a separate area that is the scope of the pharmacy.

In fact, although the pharmacy is called a pharmacy, it produces two kinds of medicines.

One is Jinchuang Medicine, a kind of wound medicine sold to Jianghu people. After the pharmacy is finished, it is brought to the Chu family's shop in Tongzhou Prefecture to sell.

There is another kind of medicinal pills, such as Buqi Powder and Blood Coagulation Pill, which can assist martial artists in their cultivation.

The materials for this kind of medicine pill are very precious, and some materials are not available in Tongzhou, and they need to be purchased outside through the caravan, and the failure rate of refining is also very high, so this kind of medicine pill is basically not sold, only to Chu For use by people inside the home.

At this time, Gao Bei brought Chu Xiu to the pharmacy. Some servants and stewards of the pharmacy looked at Chu Xiu with a strange look in their eyes. After all, they had never seen this second son in this place. What are you doing at the pharmacy today?

Chu Xiu pushed open the door of a room, and inside sat a pharmacy steward in his forties, dressed in brocade.

There are several stewards of the pharmacy. The person in front of him is only responsible for distributing cultivation resources to the disciples of the Chu family, not the chief steward.

At this moment, when someone suddenly pushed the door and came in, he subconsciously sat up straight, but when he saw that it was Chu Xiu, he immediately leaned back on the chair and asked casually, "So it's the second son. , I don't know why the second son came to my pharmacy?"

At this time, Gao Bei, who was following behind Chu Xiu, smiled and said, "Steward Zhou, it's like this, the son is here to collect his training resources for this year."

When the steward Zhou heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he sneered: "Is the second son trying to make fun of me? Your cultivation resources have always been led by the eldest son, what do you want from me?"

Chu Xiu said indifferently: "Then why do you give my cultivation resources to the eldest son? I sent my words back to my father's words?"

Manager Zhou was stunned when he heard the words, who else should speak up for this kind of thing? Back then, when the eldest son took your cultivation resources, you didn't even dare to give a shit. Of course, they wouldn't talk too much.

Now that Chu Xiu came to question him, Manager Zhou felt that Chu Xiu was here to trouble him, but he didn't care about this second son, who had never been paid much attention in the family.

Manager Zhou snorted coldly: "Second Young Master, if you are dissatisfied with the First Young Master for taking your cultivation resources, you can go directly to the First Young Master to ask for it. If you want to get rid of me, Second Young Master, you are probably thinking too much!"

There was a hint of danger in Chu Xiu's eyes, but at this moment, a person suddenly ran in, slapped the manager Zhou to the ground with a slap, and cursed: "Bold! How dare you talk to the second son With that said, is there any respect for the upper and lower?"

Manager Zhou covered his face and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief: "Master Manager, why are you..."

"Shut up! You don't have the right to speak here!"

The chief steward of the pharmacy interrupted him with a loud shout.

The chief steward of the pharmacy was a little fatter. He turned to face Chu Xiu, and his face immediately changed from the vicious look just now to an incomparably friendly one.

"My subordinates are ignorant, Second Young Master, please forgive me, I keep all your cultivation resources for you in the pharmacy, and there will be no shortage of one, and the alchemist has recently refined a pot of blood coagulation pills of excellent quality. , I also gave you a bottle, and I'll pack it for you."

Having said that, the chief steward of the pharmacy immediately ordered people to pack up the things, hand them over to Chu Xiu respectfully, and send them out in person.

Turning around and closing the door, the chief steward looked at the sluggish steward Zhou, who was still covering his face, and sighed: "I just slapped that slap just for your own good, if I don't, you will be out of luck today. ."

With so many stewards in the pharmacy, this week steward is his confidant, so just now, Zhou steward slapped him in disbelief without saying a word to the big steward.

Of course, Guanshi Zhou didn't dare to complain now. He just said strangely: "Big piper, why did you treat that Chu... Second Young Master so politely?"

In fact, Manager Zhou wanted to say that he kept his head down, and the appearance of the manager just now could be called servile.

The chief steward shook his head and said, "Remember, I will be more polite to the second son in the future, even more polite than the other three sons. This second son is not the second son of the past."

Having said that, the chief steward told him what happened in the Chu family council room before.

The chief steward in charge of the pharmacy is also one of the powerful figures in the stewardship of the Chu family. He just stood in the council hall and witnessed everything.

Previously, Chu Xiu acted so madly that he almost killed Butler Liu in front of everyone, and he felt cold all over from that attitude.

As for Steward Zhou over there, he shivered even more after hearing this.

Butlers and housekeepers are also divided into highs and lows. He is the lowest-level kind, while Liu’s housekeeper, as the Chu family’s big housekeeper, is the highest-level kind. He usually bows his head and salutes when he sees Liu’s housekeeper. of.

As a result, even Steward Liu was almost defeated by this second young master on the spot, and he dared to be so rude to him just now, and Steward Zhou felt that he was just killing himself.

Steward Zhou hurriedly thanked the big steward and said, "If it wasn't for you this time, the villain would be out of luck."

The chief steward sighed and said, "Remember, although we are all stewards of the Chu family, the servants are always servants, forgetting our identity, the consequences are very serious.

Just like that Liu Guan's family, they forgot their identity, and now they not only have to lose face, but also have to lie in bed for several months. "

On the way back to his own courtyard, Gao Bei couldn't help but said to Chu Xiu, "Young Master, you are so majestic just now, and the chief steward of the pharmacy is so polite."

"You're polite?" Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "That's not polite, that's reverence. Good and evil are both sides. If you can't be good enough to make everyone respect you, then you can only be evil enough to make everyone fear you. "

Gao Bei shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't understand."

Chu Xiu pushed open the gate of the courtyard: "Of course you don't understand. If you understood, you wouldn't have been around for so many years without even being a manager."

Looking at the slightly empty courtyard, Chu Xiu said to Gao Bei, "Go find some wooden stakes to stand in the courtyard."

"What does the young master want the stake for?"

There was a glint in Chu Xiu's eyes and he said, "Practice the knife!"

If you want to advance in martial arts, you need nothing more than talent, perseverance, chance, and understanding. There is no distinction between before and after, but if you want to reach the peak, you need one.

For the current Chu Xiu, his talent can only be said to be a middle-aged person, and his understanding is not known for the time being. As for the chance, Chu Xiu knows a lot, but he has no strength and can't grab it.

So now Chu Xiu can only work on perseverance.

Gao Bei went to prepare the wooden stakes, and when he saw that it was getting dark, he also had dinner brought over by the way.

Although this high-level ability is average, it can be regarded as conscientious and careful in doing things.

Back in his house, Chu Xiu took out all the medicinal pills he had received from the pharmacy. Among them, there were two packs of Qi Busan a month, which should be twenty-four packs a year, but the chief steward of the pharmacy gave him thirty packs. .

There are also blood coagulation pills, three a year, but Chu Xiu's bottle contains ten pills, all of which are of high quality.

This qi tonifying powder is relatively simple to prepare, just grind some herbs into powder according to a certain ratio and mix them together. It can tonify qi and strengthen the body and assist in cultivation. However, some of them are more precious and can be bought in Tongzhou Prefecture. Can't buy it.

As for the blood coagulation pill, as the name suggests, it is used to help the warriors condense the blood in the body and use it to impact the coagulation realm. It requires a special alchemist to refine it. The process is complicated and there is a chance of failure. Even the Chu family only dares to refine it every month. Make a furnace.

He took out a pack of Qi Bu San and swallowed it mixed with water. After a while, Chu Xiu felt a heat flow rising from his body, and he quickly began to run the innate power to refine the medicinal power.
