Chapter 53 Sending a Brocade Quilt

Although Qi Xuansu was shocked, he remained calm. He returned to the bedside, put on his boots, and then took his two swords and checked them carefully. Since he entered Xiang's house, he had never left his "Shenlong Hand Gun" and "Qingyuan". Only the two swords had passed through the hands of outsiders.

After Qi Xuansu confirmed that there was no problem with the two swords, he took out a detoxification pill and swallowed it. This detoxification pill did not have a very profound name. Qi Xuansu did not even know what the official name should be. It was usually called detoxification medicine, but it was very useful. Although it could not detoxify all poisons, it could almost deal with most of the medicines in the world. Detoxify if there is any, and prevent if there is none.

The key is that it is very cheap. One pill only costs one Taiping money. Qi Niang sold it to Qi Xuansu. According to Qi Niang, this medicine was indeed very expensive in the past, and it was hard to find a hundred gold coins. However, after Huashengtang formed mass production, the cost dropped sharply, and finally became one Taiping money per pill.

The reason is also very simple. It takes the same time to cultivate a single medicinal material as it does to cultivate hundreds of acres of medicinal materials. A huge pill furnace that can refine a thousand pills per furnace, the time and cost required to refine one pill and a thousand pills are the same. There are also various auxiliary materials. The demand is large, and Huashengtang, as a buyer, has a lot of say, so it can naturally lower the price. Therefore, after Huashengtang formed mass production, the cost was diluted and the price also dropped.

This is not only the case with this kind of pill, but also with other pills. Huashengtang expanded production, thereby reducing costs and seizing the market at a low price. Because there is a new market, it continues to expand production, thus forming a virtuous circle.

In this case, Huashengtang naturally "conquered cities and plundered land" all the way, and was invincible. How could a group of small workshops be opponents? They were defeated one after another, either becoming vassals of Huashengtang or perishing.

Nowadays, the so-called miraculous doctors in the world are rare. Everyone knows that if you are seriously injured or have any other problems, you don’t need to ask around the world for miraculous doctors. Just go to the Taoist Huashengtang. As long as you have money, you can probably save a life. If Huashengtang can’t save it, then it’s hard for gods to save it, so you can prepare for your funeral with peace of mind.

In the court, there is an Imperial Medical Bureau, but it is not open to everyone, but only serves the dignitaries and officials. There are many people in Huashengtang who covet the treatment of the Imperial Medical Bureau and jump to the Imperial Medical Bureau. In addition, the Imperial Medical Bureau has strong support from the royal family and sufficient financial resources. It can buy various precious elixirs or other precious things such as "deputy heart" from Huashengtang. Its level is also quite high. In the past hundred years, there has been no case of half of ten children dying prematurely.

However, despite the advantage of manpower, many elixirs can indeed play a role that is close to resurrection. As long as there is still a breath, it can be saved. However, most of these pills are powerful. For people with lower cultivation, they are no different from poison. If you swallow them, you will die. You must have enough cultivation to withstand the power of the medicine. Therefore, even with the Huasheng Hall and the Imperial Medical Bureau, mortals cannot escape birth, aging, illness and death. If you want to live forever, you still have to follow the steps from the acquired people, through the innate people and the heavenly people, before you can become an immortal immortal.

After taking the pill, Qi Xuansu felt a little relieved.

In fact, there are roughly two kinds of despicable means in the martial arts world.

One is to fascinate the mind. After being hit, you may fall into a coma, or be paralyzed, or have frequent hallucinations. This method has little effect on warriors and alchemists. Warriors are physically strong. If you want to fascinate warriors, the amount of medicine needed must be weighed by kilograms. If you put it in wine, at least dozens of kilograms of wine are needed, which is too unrealistic. The alchemist's soul is separated from the body, and the skin is regarded as clothes. Even if the body is paralyzed, the soul can still leave the body.

One is to poison people directly. Whether it is a banished immortal, a Qi-refining practitioner or a casual person, they can be temporarily suppressed by true Qi.

Of course, there are also means that even the gods cannot resist, but the price is too high for people to bear. It is more cost-effective to hire an assassin at the "inn".

Qi Xuansu thought that he had the physique of a warrior in the Yuxu stage and took the antidote, so there should be no problem. After all, it is a small place and the means are quite limited. If Qi Xuansu was wrong and there was really a master hidden, there was no need to use these despicable means.

Qi Xuansu sorted out his clothes, put the two swords back on his waist, and checked his weapons again.

Short sword "Qingyuan", "Shenlong hand gun", seven "Dragon Eye B2", fifteen "Dragon Eye B3", two "Phoenix Eye B3", and twenty ordinary armor-piercing projectiles.

These are all sharp weapons for killing people, but they are much inferior to ghosts and spirits.

In this regard, the alchemists who draw talismans to control ghosts are experts.

Although the blood of a warrior can restrain ghosts, it can only passively defend, just like a lamp can only wait for a moth to fly up, but it is impossible to take the initiative to find a moth.

As for the scattered people, they dabble in a little bit of everything, but are not proficient in anything.

Qi Xuansu took a deep breath. He wanted to leave overnight, but he was afraid of alerting the enemy. He just wanted to survive tonight and leave early tomorrow morning without revealing any flaws.

In this way, Qi Xuansu naturally couldn't sleep. He blew out the lights and sat on the bed with his hands on the weapons.

When it was midnight, Qi Xuansu suddenly opened his eyes and heard a very slight sound coming from outside the window.

The sound was getting closer and closer, rustling, not like human footsteps.

Not long after, a shadow appeared outside the window. Fortunately, the moonlight was bright tonight, it was bright outside and dark inside, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a human figure, and the figure was slim, like a woman.

Qi Xuansu had already used his yin and yang eyes and found that the figures outside were not ghosts. They not only had yang energy, but also had heavy energy. This made him relax a little, but he still remained vigilant.

This is strange. Since there are no ghosts, why would someone write talismans to ward off ghosts on the walls of the house?

At this moment, the figure outside raised his hand and gently knocked on the window.

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment, brewing his feelings for a while, then pretended to be still dazed after being woken up by someone, and said in a confused voice: "Who is it?"

"Master Jun is asleep?" A delicate voice came from the window.

Qi Xuansu deliberately made a rustling sound similar to getting up and putting on his clothes, pretending to gradually wake up, and his voice became clearer: "Is something wrong?"

The woman outside the window said: "The night is very cold. I am worried that the military master will catch a cold, so I asked me to bring another brocade quilt over to keep him warm."

Although she has not been seen, the woman's voice is extremely charming, as if it has a hook.

In the middle of the night, the brocade quilt is warm, and this is a woman with a charming voice. Naturally, it is easy for a man who is just in his prime of life to have wild thoughts.

However, Qi Xuansu became tense. As the saying goes, being courteous for nothing, committing adultery or stealing, is probably not a good thing.

Qi Xuansu was silent for another moment, pretending to be a bit uncontrollable: "I'm used to living in tents, the door is open, you just come in."

"Okay..." The figure outside the door responded softly, and the word "good" with a deliberately long pronunciation was suddenly turned into three tones, and then made a rustling sound and opened the door to come in.

There was no lamp in the room, so Qi Xuansu could only be vaguely seen sitting on the bed.

"Why don't you hold the lamp?" The woman seemed to be holding something and put it aside after entering the door.

Qi Xuansu said softly: "What are you doing holding a lamp? Everyone is just trying to make ends meet."

"Master Jun...you..." the woman covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, "You are so old-fashioned. This kind of thing is more interesting than lighting a lamp."

As she said this, the woman was about to light the lamp.

Qi Xuansu didn't stop her and let her light the lamp.

Millennium Darkroom. Suddenly there was a light. Darkness will soon disappear. The light is everywhere.

The light illuminated the entire room.

The woman saw a well-dressed man sitting on the bed, holding the weapon at his waist with both hands, his eyebrows sharp and murderous.
