Song Shuhang brought Medicine Master around Daji Street and looked at more than ten apartments for rent. Unfortunately, none of them caught Medicine Master's eye. Shuhang didn't know what kind of apartment Medicine Master was looking for.
'If there's really no other way, let's go to other streets.' Shuhang thought.
At this time, Medicine Master finally found a house that satisfied him.
It was a brand new house with three rooms and five floors. It even had a wall and a front yard. The decoration was exquisite. One could tell at a glance that the owner had spent a lot of effort on this room.
It was a good house!
But this house didn't look like it was for rent!
"This is the house, let's rent it!" Medicine Master laughed heartily.
"Wait, Senior, this room isn't for rent. It's someone else's private property." Song Shuhang shouted.
But Medicine Master didn't listen to his explanation. He laughed and dragged Song Shuhang to the front of the house. He reached out and pressed the doorbell.
"Coming!" A rough voice sounded.
Soon, the door opened. A middle-aged man with a crew cut and a little fat appeared and looked at Song Shuhang and Medicine Master.
He stared at Medicine Master's afro for a while and asked in confusion. "Delivery?"
"No, we want to rent a house." Medicine Master opened the door and went straight to the point.
The middle-aged man stiffened and his mouth twitched. But he still replied politely, "I'm sorry, my house is for my family. And my family doesn't like to live with strangers, so we don't plan to rent it out. "
"You don't like to live with strangers? That's great! "Medicine Master was very happy." Me too, I don't like to live under the same roof with strangers. So, why don't you move out and rent the whole building to me? You can ask for the rent, I won't bargain! "
He felt that Medicine Master's words were asking for a beating. Song Shuhang facepalmed. Let the original owner of the house move out and rent the house to him? Wouldn't the original owner have to sleep on the streets? How could he rent a house with this kind of asking for a beating?
Sure enough, the middle-aged man's forehead was already bulging with blue veins. He looked unfriendly. "I'm sorry, I don't need that little money, so I won't rent the house. Please find somewhere else. Goodbye. "
The fact that he could restrain himself at this moment meant that the owner of the house was a well-mannered gentleman. If it was Shuhang, he wouldn't have been able to tolerate it. At the very least, he would have scolded him as a lunatic!
"Hey, think about it! Money really isn't a problem! "Medicine Master still didn't want to give up.
Song Shuhang could already imagine the scene of the house owner angrily chasing them away. He hurriedly pulled Apothecary up, intending to drag this senior away by force.
…
…
Unexpectedly, in the end, Medicine Master and Song Shuhang still moved into this three-room five-story house.
"Aiyaya, as expected, this kind of stand-alone house is the most suitable. The size is also just right. The spacious house can be turned into an alchemy room after the walls are removed!" The Apothecary looked around the house floor by floor, nodding his head in satisfaction.
"However, we originally only needed to rent a room," Song Shuhang ridiculed.
Everything in the secular world had a value. The reason why some things couldn't be bought wasn't because they weren't for sale, but because the price you offered wasn't high enough.
This three-room five-story suite in front of him was the same.
Even if the owner spent a lot of effort to build it, it was a house for him and his family to live in. But after Medicine Master threw down an irresistible amount of money … the face of the middle-aged uncle, who looked like he was about to beat someone up, instantly turned from cloudy to sunny.
Then, the uncle happily handed over the house and the land use certificate, the door, and all the room keys. Then, he set a time with Medicine Master to handle the transfer of the house.
Then, the uncle and his family moved out of the house within two hours. This efficiency was top-notch!
Yes, he bought it.
Medicine Master very straightforwardly bought the entire house.
Rich people are willful!
"Don't worry about these details. The most important thing is that we have a suitable alchemy room. We can start refining the Body Tempering Liquid," Medicine Master laughed. He took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out a pill, and threw it to Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang caught the pill with a face full of doubt.
"This is a Grain Repellent Pill, it can be eaten as a meal. It's one of the daily essentials for cultivators. As your cultivation deepens in the future, when you go into closed-door training, you will often go into closed-door training for months, years, or even decades. Cultivators also need to eat, so this Grain Repellent Pill comes in handy. Keep it in your mouth, and the medicinal effect will continuously spread. This is the lowest quality one, but for you, this Grain Repellent Pill is equivalent to a month's worth of food, "Medicine Master explained with a smile.
"Thank you, Senior." Song Shuhang's heart warmed. Medicine Master actually remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch. The seemingly careless Medicine Master was unexpectedly thoughtful and considerate.
Medicine Master: "Don't be polite with me. Keep it in your mouth for a while, then we'll go refine the Body Tempering Liquid."
Song Shuhang put the Grain Repellent Pill in his mouth, and immediately, his mouth was filled with fragrance. At the same time, the hunger in his stomach disappeared, and after a while, he felt like burping.
"Take it out when you feel full, otherwise you'll be stuffed. Also, before the Grain Repellent Pill completely evaporates, it can be used repeatedly. Keep it well, maybe you'll need it in the future, "Medicine Master added. The things he refined all had a shelf life of hundreds of years, so he didn't have to worry about it going bad.
Hearing this, Song Shuhang took out the Grain Repellent Pill from his mouth and put it back in his mouth. Luckily he didn't swallow it. He was just wondering if this Grain Repellent Pill could be like what he saw on TV, where after swallowing it, he wouldn't need to eat or drink for a month?
Now it seemed that if he swallowed it, he would probably be stuffed to death.
…
…
Induction cooker, no problem.
Hot pot, ok.
Forty-five types of Simplified Body Tempering Liquid's medicinal ingredients were already placed in order beside Song Shuhang.
"Repeat the same process as you did the first time. Begin." Medicine Master said: "Don't feel pressured, and don't worry about failure. I have plenty of medicinal ingredients for the Body Tempering Liquid."
Song Shuhang smiled shyly. He closed his eyes and recalled the process of refining the Body Tempering Liquid for the first time. Because it happened yesterday, and because it was his first time refining the Body Tempering Liquid, he clearly remembered every step.
"Add water first." He added a ladle of water into the hot pot.
Then, he added ginseng slices and simmered for five minutes.
Next, he added goji berries and simmered for another five minutes.
When it came to the third medicinal ingredient, Morning Dew Mysterious Grass, Song Shuhang no longer timed it. He started to observe the minute changes in the medicinal ingredients in the hot pot. After a while, he started to increase the heat of the induction cooker.
Medicine Master pinched his chin and stared at Song Shuhang's every move. He kept quiet and didn't make a sound to disturb him.
"Even if I'm mentally prepared, I still can't connect Shuhang Little Friend's actions with 'refining pills'." Medicine Master sighed with emotion.
Luckily, he was an alchemist who kept up with the times.
If old-fashioned alchemists knew that Song Shuhang used hot pot and induction cooker to refine pills, they would probably be so angry that their livers would hurt.
"Also … modernizing the alchemy cooker has to be added to the plan ahead of time. At least when refining pills that don't require alchemy fire or special flames, modernized equipment will make it easier to control the heat and temperature. "Medicine Master thought to himself.
Just like the Song Shuhang in front of him, he only needed to press a few buttons and he could control the heat very well. This was something that the old version of the alchemy cooker couldn't do. Even with a fire controlling treasure, it wouldn't be so easy.
At this moment, with the help of the ice bead, Song Shuhang once again entered a state of high concentration. In his eyes, other than the Body Tempering Liquid that he was refining, there was nothing else.
Medicine Master's eyes revealed a look of admiration.
