He arranged an accountant for Tan Feng, two orderlies, and five hundred taels of starting capital. The position of Fushun Patrol Inspector was left to him. Zhou Qingfeng really didn't have enough manpower. He wished he could have two pits for one radish. Although he controlled it in the system, he could only delegate some power at the moment and give his subordinates enough freedom to develop.
The administrative department of Xu Bing and Old Man Sun arranged Tan Feng's work. Zhou Qingfeng no longer asked about other things. He left Tan Feng in the village outside the city to see if he could form his own army. When he returned to the city, he was also trying to find a way to get a small team of bodyguards.
"Gao Daniu?"
"Boss, you called me?"
"When I call you in the future, you have to answer 'here'."
"What do you mean by 'answer'?"
"Just one word – here!"
"Shout!"
"Are you mute? You really want to anger me to death. Shout 'here'! "
"Here!"
"Gao Daniu."
"Here!"
Zhou Qingfeng held a whip in his hand and whipped hard. The soldier named Gao Daniu straightened his legs, put his hands on his legs, shed tears, and shouted 'here'. There were nine soldiers around Gao Daniu. Seeing this stupid cow, there was a guy on the side who laughed.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh your head. Wu Daimen, you idiot. I must have been foolish enough to recruit you. You and Gao Daniu are stupid, one is stupid, and the other is stupid, specially to anger me. "
Zhou Qingfeng turned the whip around and lashed at the body of another sturdy fellow. Compared with Gao Daniu, who was whipped to tears, the other guy named Wu Daimen had thick skin and rough flesh. He didn't feel pain without using spiritual power.
Zhou Qingfeng specially recruited twenty bodyguards, ten men and ten women, for himself and Xu Bing to be personal guards. The girls on Xu Bing's side were all smart and quick-witted, but he was stupid when choosing his bodyguards. Eight of them had decent aptitudes. Only Gao Daniu and the two from the Martial Gate were humiliating his intelligence from time to time.
Gao Daniu had accidentally saved Xu Bing, and Zhou Qingfeng had treated him with light spiritual power. He hoped that he could create another capable subordinate like Sun Ren. After all, the latter had also been seriously ill and waiting to die, but he was still useful after being educated. However, this Gao Daniu was simply here to slap Zhou Qingfeng in the face. No matter how Zhou Qingfeng taught him, he only had one word for him — stupid.
On the other hand, Wu Daimen was at the other extreme. He was a hunter in the mountains who brought dozens of furs to Fu Shun to sell. When he heard that Zhou Qingfeng was recruiting workers and that he could eat his fill, he threw the fur pelt in front of the recruiter and insisted on joining no matter what.
This guy could run and jump, was tall and strong, and had great strength. At first, Zhou Qingfeng thought that he had picked up a treasure, but he found that this guy was not stingy at all. No matter what he said, he would laugh foolishly. At one point, Zhou Qingfeng wanted to kick these two guys out to do something else, but in the end, he decided to stay.
Gao Daniu was a bit stupid, but he had excellent patience and discipline. As long as he understood, he would not make a second mistake. The trouble was that it was difficult to teach him.
Wu Daimen's body was extremely talented, and this guy had even awakened a muscle and bone type technique. However, he seemed to have put all his talent points into thick skin and rough flesh — at first, when Zhou Qingfeng whipped him, it did not hurt, so he used his spiritual power to whip him. In the end, he soon discovered that he had figured out a technique that could resist spiritual power whipping. Zhou Qingfeng had to increase his spiritual power to hurt him.
So this guy continued to think about how to not hurt himself.
"My one year of patience has been completely wasted on you two idiots" Zhou Qingfeng was furious, and ordered: "Everyone, stab your spears a thousand times. After you're done, write another 500 characters at night, if you don't do well, you won't get supper. Gao Daniu, you're in charge of supervising them "
One good thing about Gao Daniu was that he would complete everything he was told to do. Even if the order was wrong, he would carry it out. So after thinking for a long time, Zhou Qingfeng decided to give him the position of the squad leader. The vice squad leader was Wu Daimen, this idiot was always happy, but his fists were bigger. If anyone in the class didn't like Gao Daniu, he could beat them up.
After giving the order, Zhou Qingfeng left these would-be personal guards on the training ground. His head was hurting from the two idiots, so he wanted to go back and find Flat Hair. When he passed by the Lin Family Inn, he saw a little girl who appeared and then retreated, so he ignored her and walked straight away – it was the girl named Chun Ni, who was also not easy to deal with.
Zhou Qingfeng recruited personal guards for Xu Bing, and for this, Xu Bing specially went to the classroom in the ancestral hall to choose. She liked this girl who liked to play dumb at first glance. Chen Tiankai, who was teaching in the ancestral hall, also said that this girl was very smart, and could immediately learn what he taught her. She could even be a little teacher to other children.
Originally, he wanted to eliminate this girl because of her unknown background, but Xu Bing didn't agree and insisted on taking her in. She had a very fast learning ability, and soon became Xu Bing's right-hand man – when she saw Zhou Qingfeng, she would play dumb and be very vigilant, but Xu Bing liked her, which made Uncle Zhou very unhappy.
"I'm so angry." Zhou Qingfeng saw the hiding girl, but he was too lazy to pay attention to her. He walked to the Guo Family's study room to find Flat Hair.
Constable Han Gui didn't need to show up these days, so Flat Hair was happy to hide in the study room and laze around. However, Zhou Qingfeng still couldn't let go of this free labor, so he came to smash the door of the study room today. "Flat Hair, open the door."
Inside the study room, the puppet bird was fiddling with an alchemy furnace. It was picked up in the market a few days ago when he went to track the traces of 'Crafty Sting'. Zhou Qingfeng spent a few hundred taels of silver to buy medicinal ingredients, but in the end, he took away a few abandoned alchemy furnaces from the market. One of the furnaces looked different under the observation of the Third Eye, and Flat Hair could be considered to have repaired it.
"The repair fee is five hundred taels of silver." As soon as they met, Flat Hair asked for money.
"Record it first, record it." Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand and squatted in front of the alchemy furnace. He asked, "How do I use this thing?"
"Why did you buy it if you don't know how to use it?"
"I just think it's better than those first and second grade alchemy furnaces."
"Alright, you're in luck again, kid. After I repaired it, I found out that this is a fourth grade alchemy furnace, much better than the one sold in the market. However, no one recognized it after it was damaged, so it was left under many gems for decades. If I bought it normally, it would cost at least eight thousand taels of silver. "
"In other words, I earned seven thousand five hundred taels of silver? Hahaha …! " Zhou Qingfeng was so happy that he looked like a fool, walking around the fourth grade alchemy furnace. "What's so good about this fourth grade alchemy furnace?"
"It can be used to refine better alchemy pills and produce more pills. However, the alchemist's cultivation level is higher, and the operation is more complicated. " Flat Hair casually threw a book to Zhou Qingfeng and said, "I'll sell you this' Essentials of Alchemy 'for a thousand taels of silver."
"So expensive?" Zhou Qingfeng immediately exclaimed, "The last time your young miss sold a copy of 'Traction Catalog', it was less than two hundred taels of silver."
"Take it or leave it, give it back to me." Flat Hair waved his wings, wanting to take the book back.
Zhou Qingfeng quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, let me take a look first, let me take a look first."
There was no pill recipe in the 'Essentials of Alchemy', but it taught cultivators how to control alchemy. Different medicinal properties, different attributes, different situations, corresponding to different methods. Zhou Qingfeng felt that this was a practical chemical experiment manual, teaching people how to use medicinal materials as raw materials to synthesize pills.
An alchemy furnace was actually similar to a chemical experiment bench. Zhou Qingfeng pulled his fourth grade alchemy furnace in front of him, recalling the medicinal materials in the medical book and prescription that Old Man Sun gave him, and then according to the instructions in the 'Essentials of Alchemy', began to fiddle with his first alchemy in his life.
The various medicinal materials that Zhou Qingfeng bought were placed in Flat Hair's place. All the medicinal materials had been processed in advance and could be used directly. When he was reading the book, his body and mind were still quite focused. When he threw several kinds of medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, he suddenly thought — according to the knowledge of modern medicine, there were only a few active ingredients in medicinal materials, and most of them could only be regarded as medicinal dregs.
Extraction, crystallization, distillation, sublimation, dissolution, catalysis, temperature detection, acid-base detection, quantitative determination, molecular synthesis — Zhou Qingfeng's mind could not help but think of the basic concepts of junior high school chemistry. With the change in his mind, the 'sun tablet' in his chest, which had not moved for a long time, suddenly began to operate — spiritual power rushed out like water.
At first, Flat Hair only smelled a strange fragrance, like orchid musk. When he figured out the source of the smell, he exclaimed to Zhou Qingfeng, "What are you doing? Stop, your spiritual power is about to run out. "
Zhou Qingfeng sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace. Several kinds of medicinal materials kept flying in front of him and falling into the alchemy furnace one by one. The expression on his face was blank, and he did not respond to Flat Hair's shout.
Flat Hair thought that he was possessed, and quickly flew over to help him with his own spiritual power. But as soon as the two sides touched, Flat Hair felt that the spiritual power in his energy gathering stone also rushed out and flowed into Zhou Qingfeng's body, which was like a bottomless pit.
Zhou Qingfeng only had two units of spiritual power, and it was quickly emptied. Flat Hair's spiritual power was 24 units, but it did not last long. Fortunately, the alchemy location was in Guo Buyi's study, and there was an energy gathering array here. Usually, it absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and turned it into spiritual power for storage. Flat Hair quickly extracted spiritual power from the array and finally stabilized the situation.
When the alchemy process was over, Zhou Qingfeng fell backward as if he had lost all his strength. He was so exhausted that he directly fell asleep. Flat Hair's condition was better, and he was very curious about what kind of strange tricks Zhou Qingfeng had come up with.
When the alchemy was over, the fourth-grade alchemy furnace was rich and intoxicating. Suddenly, there was a faint light flying out of the alchemy furnace, and a few successfully refined pills were floating inside. They were orange-yellow in color and crystal clear, and they did not look like ordinary pills.
"Little Zhou, what kind of pills did you make?" Flat Hair was a puppet bird, so he did not eat the pills, and he had a lot of knowledge about pills. But after flying around the pills for a long time, he did not know what kind of pills were in front of him.
Zhou Qingfeng fell to the ground and slept for half an hour before he got up. He was also stunned when he saw the strange pills. "This is Huangjing Pill? Why is it different from what Old Man Sun's medical book said? "
"How can this be a first-grade Huangjing Pill?" Flat Hair immediately retorted, "Take a whiff of this rich medicinal fragrance and look at this alluring color. These pills are already fourth-grade elixirs. Moreover, Huangjing Pill can only nourish the body and slightly increase spiritual power. And this pill can only greatly supplement spiritual power. "
