Chapter 1317: Buying Some Elixirs to Pop

Chen Guanlou asked Pure Yang Zhenren to come forward to match the horoscopes of Su Rongrong and Mu Wenxu and set the wedding date. Su Rongrong happily married into the Mu family as a new bride.

Mu Yiguan Mu finally drank the tea of his grandson-in-law, his face almost smiling to pieces.

Chen Guanlou waved his hand and gave his nephew-in-law a month off to enjoy his newlywed life.

Mu Yiguan Mu was also very sensible and directly announced that during the newlywed period, Mu Wenxu didn't need to go to the medical clinic to see patients.

Chen Guanlou urged Su Rongrong, "If you have any grievances, speak up boldly. I will make the decisions for you. Don't hold everything in your heart and endure it! The word 'endure' has a knife on top of it. Ask Mu Yiguan Mu if people who like to endure for a long time live long. If anger cannot be vented and is held in the heart, eventually, they will all be angered to death."

Mu Yiguan Mu didn't dare to refute; he hadn't specifically studied it and couldn't come up with data or reasoning to refute it. But he knew that long-term depression in the heart affected physical health.

"It is indeed true that people who endure in silence for a long time don't have very good health. If you have any grievances, tell me, and I will vent your anger for you. Or tell Lord Chen!"

With the guarantee of the two, Su Rongrong nodded with a smile, suddenly gaining a lot of confidence, and was full of confidence in her married life.

"Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Grandfather! I will live my life well, not endure in silence, and if I have grievances, I will definitely tell you."

"That is very good!"

Chen Guanlou was very satisfied.

His niece was not a punching bag, which was excellent.

If she were a punching bag, let alone outsiders disliking her, he himself would dislike her. She wouldn't be worthy of being his niece! He was such a strong person, he only liked people with their own ideas and thoughts, not weaklings.

Pure Yang Zhenren had been particularly busy during this time, busy refining elixirs for the Emperor, and had no time to attend Su Rongrong's wedding banquet.

Afterward, Chen Guanlou specially visited to thank him and set a time to go drinking and carousing together.

Pure Yang Zhenren looked dejected and unlucky, "For a while, I'm afraid I won't have any time. The Emperor's demands are increasing; I must personally guard the furnace to refine elixirs that satisfy the Emperor, while also not harming the Emperor's body."

Chen Guanlou asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time, "Do all elixirs have elixir poison?"

Pure Yang Zhenren looked slightly hesitant.

He could avoid talking about this kind of question.

But facing Chen Guanlou, he decided to tell the truth: "To be precise, medicine is three-tenths poison. Elixirs are also medicine; it is a very normal and persistent fact that elixirs have elixir poison. It's just a difference in dosage.

Generally speaking, the better the effect of the elixir, the more elixir poison it has. It's the same principle as the 'tiger and wolf medicine' that doctors talk about. Tiger and wolf medicine can save lives, but it leaves sequelae and can even be fatal. If the elixir effect is good, you have to detoxify double later. Solving elixir poison is not a problem for me.

However, that is the Emperor after all. I can't just say bluntly that the elixir is poisonous. If I do, my head will fall, and the loss will outweigh the gain. Sigh, I'm in a difficult position!"

Mainly because the Emperor's demands were too many.

Pure Yang Zhenren wanted to complain, but eventually closed his mouth. Not everyone had Chen Guanlou's courage, daring to criticize the Emperor loudly and scold the Emperor as a dog at any time.

"Just say you can't do it." Chen Guanlou said casually.

Pure Yang Zhenren waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly, "Do you want to die! Regardless of whether I can do it or not, I cannot say 'no'! The Emperor only looks at the results, not the process, and doesn't ask whose hands it passed through. If I say I can't do it, others will be able to do it.

If I say 'no', it's equivalent to putting the Jade Spring Palace on the fire to roast, and my disciples and grandchildren will all suffer. This kind of thing can only be done slowly; I cannot say 'no' directly."

"So, this errand of yours isn't a good one either."

"Working for the Emperor, there is no such thing as purely good. Everything has two sides; it depends on how you choose. I made my choice years ago, and now that the die is cast, I can only walk down this path to the end."

"Old Daoist, I have confidence in you. A mere elixir is definitely not a problem. Pick a time, and I'll take you out for some carousing."

Pure Yang Zhenren nodded, "Once I finish refining this batch of elixirs, if it's successful, I'll reluctantly go drinking with you."

Chen Guanlou heard the words "reluctantly" and was extremely disgusted.

"I'm treating you to carousing, and you're still reluctant; do you have to be so pretentious? You're such an old man, and you still like to act coy; is it interesting?"

Pure Yang Zhenren laughed happily; he felt it was quite interesting. Acting in front of others gave him no sense of achievement. Because in the eyes of the world, he was an enlightened master. Whether he acted or not was the same thing.

Only by acting in front of Chen Guanlou, a guy who didn't believe in evil, and succeeding, did he have a great sense of achievement. There was a sense of superiority and pride in finally fooling the other party.

Chen Guanlou couldn't stand the other party's smug look, "Are there any elixirs suitable for me to eat? Let me pop some and feel it."

Pure Yang Zhenren really had some.

He took out a medicine box with great excitement and enthusiasm, opened the lid, and there was a full box of elixirs placed on silk lining.

"The first row is for strengthening the body, exclusively for warriors, and Ninth Rank warriors can also take it. The effect is not that significant, but it's somewhat useful.

The second row, Qi-nourishing Elixir, is the most popular elixir among warriors on the market, which helps with cultivation, and the price is also very people-friendly.

The third row, Detoxification Elixir, can solve general elixir poison.

The fourth row, this one is powerful; I specially named it the 'Dream Elixir'. I call it the Dream Elixir because this elixir is specially designed to help warriors take it when breaking through realms; it is not as overbearing as the Five Elements Elixir, it is gentler, but also safer. It focuses on letting nature take its course, nourishing internally and externally!"

Chen Guanlou looked at so many elixirs; to say he wasn't moved at all would be a lie.

But he really couldn't use so many.

He just wanted to taste the flavor and pop some to experience the experiences of other warriors.

He asked directly, "Is it free?"

Pure Yang Zhenren smiled, "You decide what to give."

"I'll give a hundred taels, how about that?"

"Look at you, too polite, you really don't treat me as an outsider. If you treat me as one of your own, a mere hundred taels is a dismissal. If you treat me as an outsider, you wouldn't take such advantage."

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party's yin-yang face and laughed, "You treat me as one of your own, and you still charge money for giving some elixirs; are you embarrassed?"

"Precisely because we are our own people, I am not embarrassed. As the saying goes, even close brothers settle accounts clearly."

Chen Guanlou sneered, "Old Daoist, don't spend all day looking into the money eye. I treat you to a night of carousing, and the money spent is more than this. And you're still haggling with me."

"I'm not haggling with you; at least you can't let me suffer a loss."

"Fine, fine, fine, how much do you want?"

Chen Guanlou couldn't be bothered to argue with the other party.

Pure Yang Zhenren was very smug; it was really not easy to earn money from Prison Warden Chen. He gestured with his fingers, and Chen Guanlou gave two cold laughs, too lazy to bargain, and decisively paid the money and left!

He wouldn't come next time.

Coming once and paying once! The old Daoist Pure Yang shouldn't be a Daoist priest; he should be a treacherous merchant. ===== CHAPTER 1318 =====
