Chapter 198, poisonous tongue

“Master!”

Seeing that Hua Changxi finally returned to Qihuangguan, the other seven medicine boys all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Entering the No. 13 Qihuang Hall, they all had tasks on their shoulders. One was to learn the art of alchemy, the second was to find the secret of Qihuang Hall, and the third was to collect information about Hua Changxi.

Who would have thought that Hua Changxi was not an ordinary person. After meeting them, he never came to Qihuangguan again.

Hua Changxi looked at the seven medicine boys who followed Pharmacist Xu into the hall and asked, “What’s up?”

The seven medicine boys sensed the impatience in Hua Changxi’s tone and looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, Hua Shuran, relying on the fact that she was from the same clan as Hua Changxi and was the legitimate daughter of the Bo family, spoke first: “Master, we are here to obey your orders.”

Hua Changxi looked at the seven people and said, “I didn’t choose you to enter the museum. I don’t have any orders for you.”

When these words were spoken, Hua Shuran and the other seven all looked stunned. Even Pharmacist Xu did not expect Hua Changxi to speak so bluntly.

The room fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat stagnant.

Hua Shuran and Hua Wanyue did not expect Hua Changxi to be so disrespectful. They both felt that Hua Changxi could not treat other people as his own, but they were all members of the Hua clan and naturally belonged to the same side. However, judging from Hua Changxi’s behavior, it was obvious that he did not take this into consideration.

He Sirong and He Siqi looked at each other helplessly. When they knew that their family had arranged for them to enter the No. 13 Qihuang Clinic without informing Hua Changxi, they guessed that this would make Hua Changxi unhappy. However, they did not expect Hua Changxi to be so repulsive and not even bothering to put on a show of flattery.

Zhu Yu, Zhou Bin and Wan Feng all lowered their heads and looked at the ground, their expressions relatively calm.

Hua Changxi noticed the seven people’s reactions and said, “There’s nothing else to do. You can go down.”

Hearing this, Hua Shuran and others looked at each other and stood there without moving.

He Sirong took a deep breath and stepped forward: “Master, other masters of Qihuang Hall will teach the medicine boy how to make pills.”

After hearing this, Hua Changxi looked at Pharmacist Xu and asked, “When the medicine boy makes the elixir, are the spiritual medicines he needs also distributed by the Medical Department?”

Pharmacist Xu shook his head: “No, every month, the Medical Bureau only distributes sixty doses of elixirs for refining first-grade elixirs to each Qihuang Clinic.” Elixirs are precious, so of course they cannot be supplied to pharmacists for practice.

Hua Changxi smiled when he heard this and said, “So, the Medical Bureau doesn’t want to train medicine boys, and each medicine boy in the Qihuang Clinic is just a chore to help with rough work?”

“Uh”

Pharmacist Xu smiled awkwardly and did not respond.

The others once again experienced Hua Changxi’s sharp tongue. They were not lowly servants at all. Those who could enter the Qihuang Hall had a strong background. They were only staying in the No. 13 Qihuang Hall because they had something to ask for.

Hua Changxi asked again: “Have the spiritual medicine quotas for this month been distributed?”

Pharmacist Xu nodded and said, “Yes, I will go and get the elixir on the first day of the twelfth lunar month.”

Hua Changxi: “Go and get thirty doses of spiritual medicine.”

Pharmacist Xu wanted to ask what the spiritual medicine was for, but when he thought about the fact that he and Hua Changxi were now in a superior-subordinate relationship, he swallowed the words and stood up to get thirty doses of the spiritual medicine.

Hua Changxi checked the quality of the spiritual medicines. Their preparation and storage were very average. More than 30% of them showed signs of spiritual energy leaking out.

It seems that the Menial Services Hall is short of people who can truly handle spiritual medicines!

Come to think of it, with all the spiritual medicines constantly emerging, unless you are someone who has inherited the spiritual medicine heritage, you probably wouldn’t even be able to name the spiritual medicine, let alone process and prepare it.

“You eight people, divide these thirty spiritual medicines among yourself. Those who get less this month will make up for it next month. This will be repeated every month from now on.”

After hearing this, Pharmacist Xu seemed to be hesitant to talk, but seeing Hua Changxi’s unquestionable look, he could only distribute the elixir quickly.

Hua Changxi waited for him to finish distributing the medicine: “Okay, you have obtained the elixir, you can go down now.”

Hua Wanyue couldn’t help but said: “Master, we don’t know how to make pills, won’t you teach us?”

After hearing this, Hua Changxi chuckled and looked at the eight medicine boys: “I know that you all have extraordinary backgrounds, but in the No. 13 Qihuang Hall, your identities are medicine boys. If you don’t recognize this, you’d better go back to where you came from.”

After a pause, he said, “You must remember that I did not ask you to come to the No. 13 Qihuang Clinic. You should have been prepared to be a medicine boy before you came in. Now you are asking me to do this. Are you sure that I should be responsible for you?”

Zhu Yu spoke up: “But the owner of the academy is responsible for teaching the medicine boy.”

Hua Changxi: “That’s another museum owner, not me. I’m just like that. If you have any objections, the door is right there and you can leave at any time.”

At this point, everyone was silent.

Hua Changxi’s lips curled up, and the smile on his face was a little cold: “Don’t compare other Qihuang Halls with our hall. They are grasshoppers on the same rope, and you and I, I’m lucky that you don’t stab me in the back, but you still want me to teach you how to make pills, you really take me for a fool?”

Pharmacist Xu and eight others: “.”

After Hua Changxi said this, Hua Shuran and others had to leave the hall.

After Pharmacist Xu and the others left, he looked at Hua Changxi helplessly: “Nine Lady, this is not how you should be the head of the hall.”

Hua Changxi didn’t care and shrugged: “I am just so special.”

Pharmacist Xu had a heart attack: “If you continue like this, you will have no subordinates to use in the future.”

Hua Changxi looked at him and laughed, “How unsuccessful I would be if I used men with two minds.” Seeing that Pharmacist Xu was about to say something, he interrupted him directly, “Uncle Xu, just help me deal with the chores of Qihuang Hall. I have everything else in mind.”

Seeing her like this, Pharmacist Xu could only shake his head and sigh.

After he left, Hua Changxi’s spiritual sense swept across the four alchemy rooms in the west wing, and found that three of them had activated the restrictions. He was suddenly speechless.

How much do they despise her by openly “plotting” right under her nose? Are they afraid that she won’t be able to discover the ban, or do they think that even if she does, there’s nothing they can do?

In the alchemy room No. 1, Hua Wanyue was complaining to Hua Shuran: “Is there something wrong with Hua Changxi’s brain? It’s fine that she didn’t give us face, but can she say those things in front of outsiders? Is she stupid?”

Hua Shuran did not respond. After a moment of silence, he spoke: “But what I saw was that Hua Changxi was very confident.” Then he looked at the angry Hua Wanyue and said, “She doesn’t care about our reaction at all, and she is not afraid that we will spread her words.”

“We entered the No. 13 Qihuang Clinic without her consent, and now she wants to make us unhappy and slap us in the face in public.”

Hua Wanyue’s anger subsided a little, and she said angrily: “She has too little respect for the clan. She doesn’t even think about it. Without the Hua clan, where would he come from?”

Hua Shuran did not respond. Her father had told her that, except for Hua Bin, whose parents had both passed away, the other members of Hua Bin’s family had not only not been taken care of, but had also been suppressed. It was almost impossible to use the camaraderie to threaten them.

In alchemy room No. 2, He Sirong and He Siqi were also talking about Hua Changxi.

He Sirong: “The Hua family is still too low in status. Hua Changxi is obviously still fighting alone. She is so reckless that she has never thought of using us.”

He Siqi: “What should we do now? Hua Changxi is so hostile to us, whether it’s refining the elixir or anything else, I’m afraid we won’t be able to achieve our goal.”

He Sirong: “The government spent a lot of effort to arrange for us to stay in the No. 13 Qihuang Hall, so of course we will continue to stay there. The higher-ups distributed 60 portions of medicinal materials, and Hua Changxi gave us 30 portions. What does this mean?”

“It means she is very confident. She is confident that she can use the remaining thirty medicinal materials to refine the thirty bottles of alchemy that need to be handed over to the Medical Department.”

He Siqi’s eyes widened after hearing this analysis: “In this case, wouldn’t Hua Changxi’s success rate in refining the elixir be as high as 100%?”

He Sirong: “This will be confirmed soon. If this is true, then Hua Changxi’s alchemy skills are far beyond our imagination. There are many alchemists in the entire Medical Department, but who dares to stand up and say that every time he refines an elixir, it will be successful?”

“Even if Hua Changxi is unwilling to teach us, when the Qihuang Hall takes turns to teach at the beginning of the new year, you and I can go to Shui Louyue and listen. I think we can learn a lot.”

In alchemy room No. 3, Zhou Bin and Wan Feng were also talking in low voices.

Zhou Bin shook his head: “Before entering Qihuang Hall, I heard that our master has a bad temper and a strained relationship with his family. Today we have experienced it.”

Wan Feng also disagreed: “The Hua family is lacking in family education. The owner speaks without thinking and is completely at the mercy of his own temper. Although he speaks freely, he does not consider the consequences at all. You will see that the owner will have to slap himself in the face in the future.”

In alchemy room No. 4, Zhu Yu was sitting alone in front of the window, holding the “Complete Book of All Plants” compiled by Hua Changxi in his hand. He seemed to be reading the book seriously, but in fact he was thinking about what Hua Changxi had just said.

“Grasshopper on a rope”

Is this just nonsense due to lack of knowledge, or does he not take the other 17 Qihuang Halls seriously? Do you think the royal family’s arrangements for the Qihuang Halls will be in vain?
