Chapter 231: Golden Pupils

~9 min read 1,618 words

Rainwater fell along the black tiles, and low conversations between doctors and patients sounded in the corner of the medical hall.

The middle-aged shopkeeper, wearing brown clothes with brocade edges, stepped on a stool himself to weigh the medicine with a steelyard, wrapped it in medicine paper after weighing, and tied it with a thin string.

"Ninth Master, your medicine."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen."

"It should be me thanking you; the new branch hall cannot do without Lord Yang's help, and after arriving in Yixing Town, we still have to rely on Lord Liang for care. In the future, when you need medicine, send someone to let us know, and I will have it delivered to your mansion."

"Shopkeeper Chen is too polite; Old Shopkeeper Chen helped me a lot, and I have no reason not to respond; I should also return the favor. If there is anything in the town, just come find me."

Liang Qu cupped his hands.

Originally, there was a Changchun Medical Hall in Pingyang County, and he had to go to the medical hall to learn medicine every day after finishing at the academy.

Later, he learned most of the basic things, and didn't go often.

Nowadays, Yixing Town is becoming more and more prosperous, with many martial artists, and the Changchun Medical Hall followed closely to open a branch hall in the town; the shopkeeper is the son of Shopkeeper Chen in the main hall, hence the saying "Old Shopkeeper Chen."

The business inside is quite good; in the time it took Liang Qu to buy medicine, he could see many martial artists coming here to buy medicinal materials.

Many times, the cycle is like this.

Originally, there were thousands of people in Yixing City, not that there were no martial artists, but no one was willing to stay in a small village where even buying medicine was inconvenient.

A Yixing City with only a few kittens wouldn't attract people to open a big medicine hall.

But when the number of martial artists exceeded a certain balance line, the positive cycle began, just like the original Pingyang Town.

Liang Qu carried the medicinal materials and drove the horse home.

Hearing the sound of keys, a black shadow like a coal ball rushed out from the corner shed, two floppy ears flapping as if they were about to fly.

The Wulong, soaked in rainwater, jumped up three steps.

It shook its body, rubbing against Liang Qu's trouser legs and wagging its tail.

Fan Xinglai noticed the movement and walked through the corridor; seeing it was Liang Qu, he put on a straw raincoat and stepped forward to take the reins, just about to lead the horse back to the stable, Chishan pulled back with its hooves, almost bringing him down.

"Temper is not small, did I forget you?"

Liang Qu slapped Chishan on the head, took out the red-blooded perch from the fish basket, and handed it to Fan Xinglai.

"You've worked hard today, handle the fish cleanly, mince it into meat paste, mix it into the grass feed for Chishan, be careful not to get any thorns, and then comb its hair; it got wet in the rain today, and the hair is a bit knotted."

"Alright."

Fan Xinglai took the treasure fish before he could pull the reins, just feeling happy.

He grew up in the Yang mansion and dealt with horses with his father every day; he had seen good horses and bad horses, and even if he couldn't judge a horse, he was at least a person who knew horses.

The better the horse, the prouder its nature, the higher its intelligence; except for the owner, no one else would obey, and no one else could ride it.

For this reason, he wasn't annoyed at all.

Being proud is good.

People rely on horses for value, especially horse grooms.

The monthly wages of a horse groom who takes good care of a horse are not comparable to those of a horse groom who takes care of an inferior horse, let alone a thousand-li steed.

His father followed Lord Yang the longest, and his horse-raising skills were better than the other two grooms; his monthly wages were three taels and six qian of silver, which was enough to qualify for a concubine!

Leading Chishan back to the stable, Fan Xinglai picked up the red-blooded perch and weighed it; the whole fish was at least six jin, and if sold outside, it would be worth a few taels of silver.

Eating better and better.

In the past, it only fed on fish intestines and dried fish bones, but now it started eating whole treasure fish, and the effect was obvious.

Fan Xinglai hadn't touched silk and didn't know how slippery silk was, but he felt that Chishan's hair was much smoother than silk, and its horse power was at least 30% higher than when they first met!

Compared to Liang Qu, who was only responsible for riding, he was the one who bought fresh grass, chopped grass, bathed, cleaned the stable, and fed it five meals a day, and he was the one who lived with Chishan day and night, so he had deep experience.

"I heard my dad say that Dragon-Blood Horses have six ranks; will a good horse advance in rank? Like an official, rising higher and higher?"

Fan Xinglai put the towel into warm water to soak, applied soap pods, wiped Chishan's body, and the words he said were like asking and answering himself.

Chishan snorted, eating grass feed on its own, ignoring him.

"Acceptance time..."

Liang Qu washed his hands and couldn't wait to open the medicine bag, putting the medicinal materials into the crucible in the order of the list.

To ensure the efficacy of the golden eyes reached the best, he decided to try the prescription given by the Sky Ship Chamber of Commerce.

Waiting for the liquid to boil, he covered it and stewed it for half an hour, then put in the second batch of medicinal materials, repeated twice, and stewed back and forth for more than an hour.

Liang Qu lifted the crucible lid, and the rich medicinal fragrance dissipated; he stayed a foot and a half away, using the steam of the boiling medicinal liquid to fumigate his eyes.

The steam with the rich medicinal fragrance slowly moistened, and every muscle around his eyes relaxed, squirmed, and was very comfortable.

The Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils were burned out in the Eight-Trigram Furnace; could his be considered fumigated out by medicinal water?

Liang Qu associated inexplicably.

A large amount of water mist rose, and the medicinal liquid in the pot quickly dropped by half.

He took out the glass bottle, and the fist-sized golden eyes floated and bumped in the water-wood liquid, brilliant as gold.

The desire transmitted from deep within his body became increasingly intense.

According to the medicine prescription, at this moment, he should pierce the golden eyes, squeeze out the pupil liquid inside and mix it with the medicinal liquid to take, and then practice the pupil technique, which could stimulate the efficacy of the golden eyes to the greatest extent.

His current appearance didn't look like practicing pupil technique, and it would be very troublesome if he boiled it badly.

Golden-Eyed Beasts were not common, otherwise they wouldn't appear as auction items.

After thinking for a long time, Liang Qu decided to give up this step.

Eat it directly!

Taking out a golden eye from the glass bottle, to prevent the juice from splashing and wasting, Liang Qu even swallowed it with his head tilted, without any waste.

Upon entering his mouth, there was no strange taste, and the solid-liquid mixture inside the eyeball didn't stick to his mouth at all; the texture was similar to colloid, without much chewing.

Seeing that it wasn't as disgusting as he imagined, Liang Qu struck while the iron was hot and swallowed the second one together.

Two golden eyes entered his stomach one after another, and wisps of warmth rose from his stomach.

Unlike ordinary pills and medicines that enhance blood energy, the warmth didn't surge into his limbs and bones, but rushed to his head one after another, and inexplicable energy continuously circled above his eyes and brow.

In the sea of consciousness, the Ze-Tripod bloomed with brilliant light.

【Obtained a wisp of Golden-Eyed Beast energy, rejuvenating the golden eyes】

【Ze-Rong: Born as a different species, infinitely strong, eyes like thunder, fierce and extraordinary, beloved by rivers.】

Eyes like thunder!

There was no such introduction when merging with Ze-Rong!

The thought flashed by, and Liang Qu's field of vision was full of brilliance.

Wisps of coolness and sourness emerged from his eyes from weak to strong, and then intensified!

He fell to the ground, his eyes couldn't stop shedding tears, his vision became blurred, and an enormous amount of water liquid quickly gathered into a small puddle on the ground!

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely die of dehydration!

Liang Qu opened the vortex aperture, continuously swallowing water, replenishing the lost water, and his cracked lip color gradually returned to blood color.

A quarter of an hour later, all kinds of strange phenomena slowly disappeared.

The Ze-Tripod returned to calm, and Liang Qu opened his eyes.

The tears accumulated in his eye sockets flowed out completely, as if piercing through a layer of water mist, and an indescribable comfort was born from the depths of his heart.

He touched the bronze mirror standing on the long table, raised his head, and reflected a pair of brilliant golden pupils.
