"The second one involves refining medicines, writing prescriptions in the front hall, and attending to patients. You'll have three meals a day, half a jin of meat, 500 wen a month, and can learn the Qi-nourishing skill of the apothecary."The three of them listened carefully and nodded."Then, is there any way for me to become an internal affairs apprentice sooner?" Gao Cheng smiled. Two years was too long."There is. If you can learn how to distinguish herbs in a few months, understand the properties of more than 50 herbs, and formulate at least three out of ten herbs that are different from the apothecary's prescription but have similar effects, you can be promoted."Gao Cheng felt a headache just by listening to this long list of requirements.It was the same for Yang Chen, but he had no other way out now, so he could only endure it for now."There will be a test once a week. If the results of the test are not ideal, you will be fired. So, don't be lazy. Work hard."After that, Liu

"From now on, you're an internal affairs apprentice!" Liu Changyue smiled kindly as he sized up Yang Chen and then looked at Liu Xiaomei."How old are you, by the way?""Fourteen.""Oh, okay! Good!" Liu Changyue was relieved as he was the same age as Xiaomei."Work hard and don't be arrogant. In the future, you can take a look at the prescriptions in the study. You can also use the brush and ink as you wish. Try to make your own prescriptions."Yang Chen's talent was definitely unquestionable, but his character and personality needed time to be considered.When it came to taking in disciples, talent was usually secondary. The most important thing was still character. Thus, Liu Changyue was not in a hurry. There was still a long way to go.Liu Changyue left the room and announced his decision."It's good to be literate. You can memorize fast and remember fast.""It's only been a week, and you've already become an apprentice in housekeeping."Gao Cheng and the others were envious."This

He felt that his breathing was much smoother than before, and he was more sensitive to the smell of medicine in the apothecary.'This wisp of Qi is too thin now. The efficiency is too low.'"As the number of levels increases, this wisp of Qi should gradually increase in size." Yang Chen pinched his fingers. At this rate, he would only need ten days to become a martial artist that everyone envied.After dawn, Master Liu Changyue, Senior Brother, and the rest dispersed.Yang Chen began to follow the routine, cultivating on the rockery in the backyard at seven o'clock every day and going to the apothecary to gain experience. During the day, he would go back and forth between the main hall and the backyard to buy and sell medicinal herbs.On the first day of each month, Yang Chen would take half a pound of his meat and cook a small barbecue in the courtyard. Now that he had become an internal affairs apprentice, he could eat his fill for every meal even though there was not much oil in hi

Yang Chen sat in the carriage, leaning against the window and looking at the scenery outside. He had been in Pingnan City for more than two months. This was the first time he had left the city.The land was already barren, and weeds were everywhere. Many skinny people leaned against the city wall with listless eyes.The people who wanted to enter the city lined up three miles away from the city gate. They were all bare-chested, dirty, bare-footed, and in ragged clothes.When Yang Chen saw them, he seemed to see himself in the past. However, things were different now. He was wearing a silk robe and sitting in a carriage, and he was a martial artist with vigorous Qi and blood."More and more people are fleeing," Yang Chen muttered."That's right. The demons have swept through sixteen states, and the imperial court's demanding taxes are getting higher by the day. The people are having a hard time with the mountain bandits running rampant." Li San, who was walking by the window, shook his

On Haunted Slope Mountain, the Blackhawk GangThe young man was lying on the tiger skin carpet, holding a jar of wine in his hand and drinking it."Lord Black Wolf." Some soldiers ingratiated themselves."What is it?" Black Wolf was impatient. He was the nephew of the chief, Black Eagle, so his status in the gang was extraordinary."The chief said that you have to go down the mountain every month to practice." One of the soldiers hesitated."Are there any women? I'm not going without a woman!""There are! I've already found one for you!""After your practice, there's a hunter less than half a li away. His daughter was very attractive!"Black Wolf immediately sat up. "Alright! Let's go if there are women!"…On the way to Bo Feng Town, more and more emaciated people appeared on both sides of the road, and more and more people were heading in the direction of Pingnan City, escaping their original hometown.Their eyes were listless, and they were wandering on the road like zombies. Their
