I Have Medicine

The one who closely followed Dragon Two out was Gu Zuo. Currently, he also had the strength to hold an equally large tray, which held luxuriant meats and vegetables. A few medicinal herbs were garnished amid the dishes. The colors would make one salivate at a glance.

However, it still wasn’t over.

After Dragon Two placed the three plates on the table, he dashed back into the medicine refining room. Once more, he carried out several meat dishes. Then he went back in again, and carried out vegetables. Gu Zuo did the same thing. This time, when he came out, he held a large wooden cask.

The cask was filled with steamed Scarlet Blood Rice. Brightly colored and crystal clear, they were like the granules of first-rate coral sand. The quant.i.ty was no less than 2.5 kilograms!

Not long after, a total of twelve dishes were spread all over the combined stone tables. Due to the various wild beast meat essences that were cooked, the rich aroma of meat and the light fragrance of medicinal herbs blended together. Like an aromatic serpent, it slithered into one’s nose, stimulating the appet.i.te.

And Gu Zo made these large dishes with everything he had. He studied the pharmacology with great care, cooking each dish with all five elements in equilibrium. There’d basically be no negative influences on Gongyi Tianheng’s body. In addition, they were compatible with the food products. No matter how much he ate, it would have a strong nourishing effect on his body’s qi and blood.

Finally, there was a jug of medicinal wine.

This kind of medicinal wine was called Blood Rice Wine. As the name implied, it used Scarlet Blood Rice and forty nine types of medicinal herbs through a meticulous fermentation process. Of course, Gu Zuo had already wanted to give his dear big brother a nice surprise. It was at this moment that he took it out.

Moreover, though Tianheng’s health seemed very good, there were delays in resolving the problem of his meridians, as well as him being forced to drink yesterday... Gu Zuo felt it was better to use this rice wine to nurse his big brother’s health.

Gongyi Tianheng looked at these dishes that packed the table, and his expression was a little subtle.

He had quite the understanding about this little pharmacist. Usually, although he always gave him the best stuff every time, the quant.i.ty was always just right — With a big plate of medicinal cuisine, each meal was probably worth two servings. Adding on a bowl of Scarlet Blood Rice, and it was just enough to make him full.

The stuff presented this time... Indeed, it was several times more than normal.

Gu Zuo also saw Tianheng’s expression, and unexpectedly understood in a flash.

He suddenly felt somewhat embarra.s.sed. After composing himself, he said with gentle laughter: "Yesterday, I troubled big brother into taking care of me. Today, I prepared these, and hope big brother doesn’t refuse."

Tianheng withdrew his thoughts. He smiled and nodded: "How could I refuse? The medicinal cuisines that Ah Zuo prepares are all tailor-made for my health, and are also the most suited to my tastes." After saying this, he spoke again, "Dragon One, Dragon Two, both of you come and eat."

Dragon One and Dragon Two’s faces showed grat.i.tude: "Many thanks, young master! Many thanks, Pharmacist Gu!"

Gu Zuo promptly shook his head: "No need to thank me. It’s all thanks to big brother’s consideration."

Thus, four people joined in a banquet.

Normally, Gu Zuo was already very diligent, but the current him was many times more attentive. He first gave Tianheng a bowl packed with rice before handing him a small cup of Blood Rice Wine. He somewhat fervently said: "Big brother, how about trying the wine I brewed. It’s one that certainly won’t damage your body!"

Tianheng listened, and his eyes carried a smiling expression. He drank the cup and exclaimed soon after: "Ah Zuo’s wine brewing level is well above others."

Gu Zuo beamed with happiness: "It’s good that big brother likes it!" Then, he supposed, "In the future, big brother shouldn’t drink outside with others like that. If you need to attend a dinner party... En, I’ll brew some harmless beverages for big brother to take along. If you really are poured some wine, then big brother can just take this wine out and ask everyone to drink it together."

His heart was pained by the money, but Tianheng’s health was more important.

Even if this matter caused him to pay a lot for the wine brewing, so long as he could prevent any negative influences on Tianheng’s health, then it was worth it.

Tianheng’s gaze warmed: "Then, I’ll just listen to Ah Zuo."

Gu Zuo’s face also warmed up: "Rest a.s.sured, big brother. I certainly won’t let your health take a wrong turn!"

Tianheng faintly smiled: "I’ll depend completely on Ah Zuo."

Gu Zuo heard this, and a feeling of heavy responsibility rose up from the bottom of his heart.

After that, he took a deep breath and said: "...Eat, big brother. If you wait too long, it’ll get cold."

Gongyi Tianheng saw his face blush and no longer went to tease him. He just raised his chopsticks, tore off a piece of meat essence, and began eating to his heart’s content. Although his movements were big, they were grand, and weren’t the least bit crude.

Dragon One and Dragon Two saw Tianheng move his chopsticks, and it was only after Gu Zuo also picked up his chopsticks that they started gorging themselves.

— After all, Gu Zuo was only cla.s.sified as Tianheng’s pharmacist who refined the medicinal cuisine. The best parts were provided to Gongyi Tianheng. An opportunity to enjoy a big feast like today’s was very rare for Dragon One and Dragon Two.

But compared to other people, the two often ate a second helping for their meals and enjoyed top grade medicinal pills. Compared to other Tianlong guards, and even many nominal disciples, their bodies’ innate qualities were far superior.

If they had the opportunity, Dragon One and Dragon Two should also be able to breakthrough to the Xiantian realm.

Thus, their hearts were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with appreciation to Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo, and their loyalty completely lacked any wavering.

They ate and drank their fills.

Tianheng could sense a warmth flow from his stomach to his limbs and sink into his bones. That Blood Rice Wine’s flavor was also truly amazing. It was mellow and rich, sweet and icy. Its implicit charm was unexpectedly better than some of the good wines he formerly tasted.

There was also a business opportunity among all this.

Gongyi Tianheng fiddled with the wine cup and leaned back into his chair as he pondered.

At first, he first thought about paving the way to slowly let his little pharmacist display refining skills that were of an ordinary level or higher. He would slowly disseminate information that Ah Zuo could occasionally refine top grade medicinal pills, and gradually increase his own worth — After all, he simply wanted to let people know that Ah Zuo was important to him. Also, Ah Zuo’s safety wasn’t completely a.s.sured.

However, he somewhat realized jut now that the ambient qi contained in this medicinal wine was gentle and abundant. Just one cup was better than a high grade Qi Linking Pill, it was nearly on the level of a top grade Qi Linking Pill. And from another person’s perspective, this shouldn’t be a medicine refining ability. Rather, this was close to a kind of innate skill. Even if other people obtained the wine recipe, they would never reach his level.

Thus, wouldn’t it be better to launch this medicinal wine first, and build up a reputation?

After all, Ah Zuo was still young. If it was revealed that his pill refining levels were too outstanding, he was afraid of attracting the wrong attention. With Tianheng’s current foundations, he still couldn’t protect him completely...

After he finished thinking, Tianheng said: "Ah Zuo, from now on, you can brew more medicinal wine. In the coming days, I can give it as gifts to establish some social connections. Additionally, this wine can also be sold. The more you brew, the more we’ll earn."

It would be just in time for the day that Fu Manduo would arrive. They could also use this medicinal wine for launching.

In the future, when those people interacted with Ah Zuo, their hearts would also regard him more importantly. They wouldn’t only be looking at his supply of goods.

It certainly hadn’t occurred to Gu Zuo in such a short period of time, but Gongyi Tianheng had already thought that far ahead for him. He simply calculated a little.

The brewing time for the medicinal wine wasn’t long. It was just that the longer it was stored, the better the medicinal effects, and the sweeter the alcohol. Taking a bit of time every day to let it settle by itself also wasn’t troublesome.

In any case, although he could refine lots of medicinal pills, the ones he could produce for his safety were few. This business of raising another kind of medicinal wine was also a good method.

At this moment, Gu Zuo cheerfully answered: "Okay!"

After that, many days pa.s.sed without anything happening.

The end of the month arrived very quickly. It was also bustling in the courtyard.

First of all, Manager Yang had come to collect the Scarlet Blood Rice.

Because of the irrigation of Gu Zuo’s medicinal decoction, not only did the Scarlet Blood Rice mature even earlier, every grain of rice was even plumper. The output also increased by a lot.

Dragon One and Dragon Two had harvested the Scarlet Blood Rice that very night. The red colored rice was very beautiful. They only had to operate their true qi into twisting just so — And the rice grains would stream down and fall off into a heap.

This time’s harvest had as much as twenty three kilograms. This was due to not irrigating the medicinal decoction from the start.

Merely, while they could have this kind of harvest, they wouldn’t be so forthcoming to Manager Yang. Although there were similar outer sect disciples planting Scarlet Blood Rice around them, Gongyi Tianheng’s field really had a better harvest than the others. But as to specifically how much better, those novices weren’t able to tell so easily.

As a result, when they reported their harvest, they announced 16.5 kilograms. From this, they deducted ten kilograms to be handed over.

Manager Yang looked at the dark-red, l.u.s.trous, and glossy Scarlet Blood Rice. He was naturally very happy. He lifted the stuff and walked out, while also obtaining five taels of gold for the "exhaustive labor fees".

Though the amount wasn’t much, it was insurance. It would make his impression of Gongyi Tianheng even better.

A full month had pa.s.sed for the outer sect. Other outer sect disciples who hadn’t been working attentively enough, who’d taken disastrous compulsory missions, or who had problems appear when collecting Scarlet Blood Rice needed to hand over even more. Else, they’d be shadowed by someone from time to time, and all of their movements would be restricted.

There were very few who had it so smooth and steady.

As for Gongyi Tianheng, not only were things going well, he still could make that Manager Yang take the initiative to deliver some things — Even if the price was a bit expensive, it was very suitable. Having him do it was safer.

Apart from this, Fu Manduo also arrived as expected. However, perhaps it was because they’d already signed a contract, but that Zhao Yuheng didn’t continue to tag along.

This time, Tianheng properly invited him to have a meal here, and called Gu Zuo to reveal his skills. Gu Zuo listened to Tianheng’s transmission and didn’t cook any medicinal cuisine that was particularly suited to martial artists. Rather, he simplified the procedures and only aroused the dish’s flavors, making this meal incomparably delicious.

And that wine between all this... Naturally, it was the Blood Rice Wine.

After drinking it, there was suddenly a flash of brilliance in Fu Manduo’s eyes. He couldn’t help getting excited: "Junior sect brother Gongyi, this wine —"

Tianheng gave an easy smile: "This wine is called Blood Rice Wine. It was when Ah Zuo was studying how to refine medicine. One time, he was naughty and recklessly threw together many kinds of medicinal herbs, creating this thing. After I sampled it, I felt it had quite the flavor and asked him to brew much more to drink at my leisure.

He continued: "Senior sect brother Fu arrived today, so I took it out to entertain... This common watery wine was refined by my family. It’s not very valuable, but it has my kind intentions. I hope senior sect brother Fu doesn’t mind."

Fu Manduo sucked in a deep breath: "Do I mind? No, no, no." His face reddened, extremely excited, "I want to make another business deal with junior sect brother, how about it?"
