() Three days later, in the early morning, the sun was shining brightly. Fang Ping walked out of the yard in high spirits and headed to Zhou Jingxuan's residence. He had agreed to meet Zhou Jingxuan and others today to discuss going to Mingquan City to challenge Gu Yichen.
Fang Ping walked outside the courtyard where Zhou Jingxuan lived and pushed the door open. Xiao Shiying, Meng Ke, and Zhou Jingxuan were already waiting in the center of the courtyard.
When Fang Ping approached, the three people moved and pounced at the same time.
While their thoughts were turning, Fang Ping had already felt the surge of inner energy in their bodies based on the unified energy in their Dantian, and judged their respective methods of movement.
Fang Ping bowed his waist, shot out like an arrow, his shoulders sank, and before Meng Ke could move his legs, he put a shoulder on his chest, knocking him to the ground.
Xiao Shiying on the side punched Fang Ping's waist with both fists. Fang Ping's right hand came out and hit Xiao Shiying's wrist above the punch, and pushed his wrist away. Immediately, Fang Ping's shoulders dropped and his elbows fell.
His elbow was like a hammer, hitting the back of Xiao Shiying's lower boxer, smashing his punch away.
At this time, Zhou Jingxuan's left palm slashed horizontally, less than two inches away from Fang Ping's left ear. His right palm thrust out like a knife and reached Fang Ping's waist.
Fang Ping struck the drunken concubine, tilted her body, and bumped into Zhou Jingxuan's arms, avoiding his slashing left palm. At the same time, his body suddenly became as soft as a snake, and he pressed against Zhou Jingxuan's right arm. Zhou Jingxuan's right palm pressed against it.
It scraped off Fang Ping's waist, but did not hurt him.
Fang Ping put all his weight on Zhou Jingxuan's arm, and immediately flipped up with a strange python move. He leaned his body against Zhou Jingxuan, squeezed his shoulders, and pushed him back.
Xiao Shiying retracted his fist and shouted, "Damn it, master, it took me a month to develop my strength, and you have really mastered it!"
Zhou Jingxuan and Meng Ke also had a look of joy on their faces. This month, they had been a little worried in their hearts. Just after seeing Fang Ping's skills, this worry disappeared.
The four of them walked into the side room and sat down. Meng Ke said, "Brother Fang Ping, Gu Yichen is cunning and cunning. You can't go there rashly for this duel. In my opinion, we might as well go to our house first. I'll give it to you."
The elders of the clan came forward and signed a formal competition contract with the Gu family, specifying the time, place, method of competition, chips of both parties, etc., to prevent Gu Yichen from playing dirty tricks."
Zhou Jingxuan smiled and said, "Junior brother, are you finally willing to go back? Aren't you afraid that your father will beat you up if you go back?"
Fang Ping also knows about Meng Ke’s past. The Meng family where Meng Ke lives is the most powerful family in Mingquan City. Meng Ke has been a good eater since he was a child. In Mingquan City, he not only ate up all the food that the family gave him
On a monthly basis, he also resold the pills that his family had allocated to him for practicing martial arts in exchange for money to eat. In the end, he owed a lot of debt to all the major restaurants in the city.
His father, Meng Deqing, spent a full ten thousand taels of silver to pay off the debt owed by Meng Ke. He didn't feel bad about the money. He was angry that his son did not seek to make progress, but actually spent all the pills he used to practice just for food and drink.
Take it out and exchange it for money.
Because he couldn't survive in Mingquan City, Meng Ke took a sum of money from home and went out to travel. Finally, he settled in Qingfeng Manor and learned the art of refining elixirs. He stayed here for two years. During these two years
, he never returned home, but every few days, he wrote a letter to report that he was safe.
Meng Ke took out the jade plaque of a first-grade intermediate pharmacist from his waist and threw it on the table, and said seriously, "Young master, I am also a first-grade intermediate pharmacist now. Such a young first-grade intermediate pharmacist is rare in the Meng family.
Characters. A few days ago, I asked someone to go back and get 50,000 taels of silver to do business with you. My father sent it over without saying a word. Now that I go back, my father will be so happy that he will be grinning from ear to ear. Why would he beat me?
"
Meng Ke got excited and took out another 10,000 taels of silver notes and threw it on the table. He said proudly, "The drug store made a net profit of 200,000 taels of silver this month. My father paid back the money for me.
Now go back and pay him back a lot."
Zhou Jingxuan shaved his face, "Are you ashamed? Did you earn this money?"
Meng Ke said confidently, "I earned these ten thousand taels of silver. I sold my two pill prescriptions to Uncle Wen Jun for ten thousand taels of silver."
Fang Ping couldn't help laughing when he heard that his father bought Meng Ke's two elixir recipes for ten thousand taels of silver. He naturally knew the origin of Meng Ke's two elixir recipes.
This kid is extremely talented in refining medicine, but he spends all his time on the taste of various medicinal materials. The two first-grade elixirs he developed allowed him to successfully be promoted to a first-grade intermediate pharmacist. But these two elixirs are not so much
The elixir is rather delicious.
In order to blend the best taste, Meng Ke sacrificed the medicinal properties of many medicinal materials. The final result was that the medicinal value of the refined elixir was not as good as the raw materials. Who bought his elixir for use
When refining medicine, you will definitely lose your pants.
Zhou Jingxuan said, "Uncle Wenjun is kind-hearted. When I heard that you were going back, he was afraid that you would lose face if you went back, so he gave you ten thousand taels of silver. You really took it seriously."
Fang Ping thought for a while and realized that Meng Ke's suggestion was indeed reasonable. He immediately stopped the bickering between the two and said, "What Brother Meng said is very reasonable. I originally wanted to ask He Qingyuan to come forward and help me."
The person who did this is my employer, so it’s not appropriate to ask him to help me with such a thing. Since Brother Meng is willing to help me, let’s go to your house first.”
After the four people had reached a consensus, they ordered people to prepare their horses, got on their horses, and rushed to Mingquan City together. In the afternoon, the group arrived at Mingquan City.
Mingquan City is located in a plain area. It was named because there is a hot spring in the east of the city that makes thunderous sounds day and night. It has convenient transportation and the intersection of water and land. It is a prosperous commercial city.
The Meng family, where Meng Ke belonged, was also a first-class family in Mingquan City. Meng Ke's father, Meng Deqing, was the second son of the head of the Meng family, Meng Yuanhu.
The Meng family's mansion was built on the main street near Thunder Hot Spring in the east of the city. It was majestic and magnificent. Meng Ke led the three people into the gate, passed through many deep houses, and finally arrived at a spacious and majestic courtyard. Here, it is
It is where Meng Ke and his family live.
Several people entered the main hall and saw Meng Ke's father, Meng Deqing, and sat down in order. Meng Ke's father, Meng Deqing, was a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, with an elegant demeanor and a strong bookish air.
After everyone sat down, Meng Deqing turned to Meng Ke with a straight face, "You bastard, are you willing to come back now?"
With a smile on his round and fat face, Meng Ke said, "Dad, my child is now a first-grade intermediate pharmacist. It won't be a shame for you to tell me. I also brought back the meal money you paid for me.
Meng Ke said as he flashed the jade medal of a Xuan-level pharmacist on his waist, and at the same time took out the banknote worth ten thousand taels of silver.
Seeing Meng Ke's jade plaque of a first-class intermediate pharmacist, Meng Deqing's expression turned kind. "I never thought that you, a bastard, actually became a first-class intermediate pharmacist. In two years, you can reach such a state. It's really incredible."
It's simple. You keep the money, and dad doesn't care about money. As long as you can make progress, dad will be happier than anyone else. Tell me, what's the matter with you bringing these friends here this time?"
Meng Deqing saw that his son had made such great achievements in the past two years at Qingfeng Village. He had a completely new look, and he became very enthusiastic towards Fang Ping and others. Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. Meng Deqing knew very well that Meng Ke had grown up in these two years.
Being able to achieve such an achievement in his life is naturally closely related to the group of friends around him.
Meng Ke took back the banknote, pointed at Fang Ping, and said, "Brother Fang Ping is a good friend I met in Lishui Town. He is now a worshiper of Heyuan Medicine Store and the owner of Wanxiang Hall. I am coming here this time.
, I want to ask you to help him."
Meng Deqing looked at Fang Ping and said, "A few days ago, you ordered someone to go home and get 50,000 taels of silver, just to open a medicine store with him? It is not easy to become a worshiper of Heyuan Medicine Store at such a young age. Moreover,
It seems that his cultivation level is not low! He is much better than you!"
Meng Ke nodded repeatedly, "Brother Fang Ping's kung fu is now the strongest among us. He came here this time to compete with Gu Yichen of the Gu family."
Meng Deqing's expression changed slightly, "Gu Yichen? How did you get into trouble with him? He has a smart mind and a quick mind. He is a versatile person in both civil and military affairs in the third generation of the Gu family. He is highly valued by the elders of the Gu family. Bring him here.
You want me to try to settle this matter, right?"
Meng Ke shook his head, "I brought Brother Fang Ping home not to let the family settle the matter, but to facilitate it. A month ago, Brother Fang Ping made a verbal agreement with Gu Yichen. But that Gu Yichen
Yichen is cunning and cunning, so in order to ensure fairness, I think it would be much safer if our family could come forward to sign a formal martial arts contract with the Gu family."
Meng Deqing raised his eyes and looked at Fang Ping and said, "Master Fang, why do you want to compete with that Gu Yichen? If there is no blood feud, I think it's up to me to try to do something about it and spend some money to solve this problem for you.
Something.”
Fang Ping shook his head, summarized what happened to Zeng Aniu, and said, "This matter is related to my martial arts heart. A battle with Gu Yichen is inevitable. If I can get your help, it would be best to make a contract publicly. If so,
Even if there is no public contract, I will have a fight with him."
Meng Deqing's eyes showed approval, "In today's world, it is rare to see people who regard chivalry as martial arts. Mr. Fang has such heroic spirit at such a young age. Meng also admires him very much.
.However, Gu Yichen has a transcendent status among the descendants of the Gu family. To sign a formal contract to compete with him, I, the head of the Meng family, must come forward."
Meng Ke said hurriedly at the side, "Then you go find Grandpa. I think Grandpa will also agree with this matter."
Meng Deqing's face was troubled, "It's hard to say whether your grandfather agrees with this matter. Moreover, he has been in the alchemy room for several months in order to refine an elixir recently. No matter who comes to find him, he disturbs his elixir refining.
, he will be unhappy."
Meng Ke slapped his thigh, "Grandpa encountered a problem in refining alchemy? Then he needs to meet Brother Fang Ping. Brother Fang Ping's mastery and combination of medicinal properties and pharmacology, no one I have ever met can match him."
Maybe, he can help grandpa solve the problem."
Meng Deqing showed suspicion on his face, waved his hand and said, "You bastard, please don't cause trouble. Your grandfather has been working hard for several months to refine this elixir, but it is difficult to make a breakthrough. This kind of
Is it possible for you to solve this problem casually? Just wait while I go to the great elder to discuss it and see what he can do."
