Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 45 045, this humanoid monster is very powerful
Although the economy is tight now, and the way to get the money is still just an idea for the time being, Shen Lang still went to the pharmacy in the evening.

He wanted to try to see if the pharmacy in Changsheng County could provide the medicinal bath prescriptions of the "Ten Steps, One Kill" eighth-level realm, and if they could, how much would it cost.

The results left him with mixed feelings.

Fortunately, the owner of the pharmacy told him that except for the three main ingredients of "iron tendon thorn fruit, dragon spine fish back tendon, and iron back black spider silk sac", he needs to go to Yingzhou Fucheng to transfer the goods, and he has to wait for a few days. The main drug, as well as all auxiliary drugs, can be prepared locally.

What is worrying is that the price of this medicated bath prescription is as expected by Shen Lang, it is ridiculously expensive:

"A pair of silver dollars at 13 yuan is already the best deal. If there is a further discount, the small shop can't afford it...Of course, if you buy ten pairs at once, the official, the small shop can offer you a [-]% discount for the official." .But you can order a pair now...then it will cost a small store to send people to Fucheng to transfer the goods!"

"But even without the medicine I ordered, wouldn't your shop often go to Fucheng to transfer goods? Just bring back the three main medicines by the way, and it won't take up much capacity and cost much, right? Besides, I'm only ordering today. I bought a pair, but if the effect is good after the trial, then I will definitely order more in the future!"

"Master, don't embarrass the shop..."

"Okay, thirteen is thirteen. This is the order money. I will come to pick up the medicine in a few days."

"You don't need to come and pick it up in person, the medicine will arrive in a few days, and the shop will send someone to deliver it to your house..."

After paying the deposit and setting aside the remaining balance, Shen Lang only had nine silver dollars and hundreds of coppers left in his cash, and he couldn't even afford the second medicine.

"Money has to come quickly, lots and lots of money."

He murmured in his heart that he couldn't even bear to go to a restaurant to eat, so he went straight home and cooked for himself.

After dinner, my muscles and bones are still aching.

Of course, the recovery speed of muscles and bones is much slower than that of muscles. It seems that today he must rest and recover. Claw work.

Before going to sleep, Shen Lang squatted under the eaves with a big pottery bowl filled with clear water, brushing his teeth with a pig temple toothbrush dipped in tooth powder.

This tooth powder is made from refined traditional Chinese medicine powder and a small amount of green salt. It does not foam when brushed, but it does have a tooth-cleaning effect and can effectively keep breath fresh, but it is a bit expensive.

When Shen Lang was rich, he bought a small jar and spent more than 400 coppers.

If he is asked to buy it now, he is really reluctant to buy some pure green salt to brush his teeth at most.

When he was brushing his teeth, Xiaogu suddenly took a small bowl filled with clear water, squatted down next to him, leaned over the little skull, and stared at him "fixedly" with his glowing red eye sockets.

"?"

Shen Lang gave it a puzzled look.

There was an indifferent and weak emotion conveyed by the small bone, which couldn't form a sentence, and I didn't know what it wanted to express, only a little bit of "longing".

Shen Lang blinked, looking unclear.

Xiaogu opened and closed his teeth, made two clicks, and pointed to the toothbrush in Shen Lang's hand, and then pointed to the small clay pot containing tooth powder on the small stool next to him.

Only then did Shen Lang suddenly realize:

"Xiao Gu, do you want to brush your teeth too?"

Da da!

The small bones knocked on the joints of the teeth, making a short and crisp sound, and nodded slightly.

"..."

Shen Lang looked at its teeth that were whiter than jade, and then looked at its small skull with no flesh and blood, it was really a bit ridiculous.

Little Skull doesn't eat or drink water, his jaw is empty, he doesn't even have saliva, there is absolutely no room for bacteria to breed, does he need to brush his teeth?
However, considering Xiaogu's background during his lifetime, it is not surprising that he has developed good hygiene habits since he was a child.

Looking at its "starved" looking forward again, Shen Lang put the toothbrush into his own bowl, rinsed it with clean water, and handed it to it:
"I only have this toothbrush at home. If you don't mind it, just use it first? I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."

Xiaogu really didn't despise him.

He happily took the toothbrush, dipped in the tooth powder and brushed his teeth.

Seeing that it brushes its teeth skillfully, and every tooth is brushed in place, Shen Lang couldn't help asking curiously:

"Xiao Gu, do you still remember what happened before you were alive?"

The red light in Xiaogu's eye sockets flickered, conveying a faint daze.

"Can not remember?"

Xiaogu nodded.

Shen Lang sighed silently, saying that it's fine if he doesn't remember, God knows what happened to her in the end, such a terrible experience, for such a young girl, it's best to forget about it.

"It's fine if you don't remember. Anyway, the enemy is already dead. From now on, let's practice hard together."

Xiao Gu made two clicks, touched the head of the little skull to his shoulder, rubbed it lightly, and there was another feeling of "intimacy".

By the pond.

While pretending to wash his face, Xiao Zhao secretly observed the interaction between Shen Lang and Xiaogu, his eyes were a bit serious.

The little fish swims around in the pond, gloating and spitting bubbles:

[Calling you a vicious victim, don't follow the right path, look, is the competitor here now?Xiaogu is more painful than you, even I feel sorry for him.And it’s still a humanoid monster…]

【Hmph, I'm worried about Xiao Gu?Does Shen Lang dare to sleep with the skull in his arms?Not to mention the coldness, if you wake up in the middle of the night and don't pay attention, you will be scared to death, thinking you saw a ghost.Now the only one he can hug to sleep is me, Xiaogu is not my opponent, meow. 】

【do not worry?Don't worry why are you peeking at them so nervously? 】

[I also want to brush my teeth, can't I? 】

Xiao Zhao insisted on speaking, then got up suddenly, walked in front of Shen Lang with short legs, raised her round face, flapped her ears, and looked at him flickeringly with her big watery eyes, 【Shen Lang, People have to brush their teeth too! 】

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and showed pointed teeth:
[But I don't have hands, I need you to brush them for me!Well, people don't dislike you, just use your toothbrush, and there is no need to buy me a new toothbrush! 】

So when Xiao Gu finished brushing his teeth, Shen Lang took the toothbrush, dipped in some tooth powder, and helped Xiao Zhao brush his teeth.

Xiao Gu squatted next to Shen Lang, holding the skeleton's cheeks with his two bony hands, staring straight at Xiao Zhao with his glowing red eye sockets, although his emotions were indifferent and weak, Xiao Zhao suddenly felt a faint danger.

【threaten me?Afraid of you? 】

Xiao Zhao is not afraid of it, taking advantage of Shen Lang's inattention, he bared his teeth at Xiaogu:

[See this fang?It can break bones!When people eat fish, they chew the bones together and swallow them meow! 】

The small bone bumped against the gums lightly, making a soft clicking sound. Although it couldn't clearly express its inner voice like Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yu, it still gave Xiao Zhao a signal: one-on-one tonight!

【…】

Look at Xiaogu's "tall" figure, that jade-colored white bone with sharp teeth at first glance, and think about how it has just been enlightened, and it has mastered two practical skills just after fusion of exercises, Xiao Zhao decisively admits:
[Shen Lang said, we are all one family, Meow is a good boy, so I won't fight with you!Hmph, it's not that I'm afraid of you, it's just that I don't want to make Shen Lang angry...]

When the cat and the little skull were fighting secretly, Shen Lang, who was brushing the cat's teeth, suddenly had a whim:

"I think, Xiao Zhao, can you try to curl up the toothbrush with your tail and brush your teeth by yourself?"

【how can that be?He's not Little Wukong, how could his tail be so flexible! 】

"You can train it! You are a goblin, so you should turn the impossible into the possible. Maybe you can brush your teeth by yourself if you practice casually? That's it. I'll buy you a new toothbrush tomorrow!"

【…】

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Lang went to the yamen to go to work, and when he passed by the market to buy breakfast, he stopped by the grocery store to buy a small toothbrush for Xiao Zhao and Xiao Gu, and put them away in the space.

As for the little fish, it really doesn't need to brush its teeth, or in other words, it brushes its teeth all the time...

[I ask for a ticket for the little monsters who love cleanliness~! 】
