I can't help it, I have no choice but to become a god all the way

Chapter 20 Burning Money
Lin Ansheng was stunned.

The two daughters rented another courtyard and still lived in the original place, while he stayed there on the grounds that he hired the two daughters to take care of the courtyard for them.

This was discussed last night.

It is not uncommon for grassroots disciples of the outer sect to do things for the disciples of the family in exchange for remuneration.

Anyway, it's selling labor to supplement the lack of cultivation resources, and it's the same for individuals selling labor to sects.

This is the case for the disciples of the outer sect, let alone the disciples of the handyman.

Zongmen is also the default attitude.

From the perspective of cultivating disciples, the taste of being a servant can stimulate a person's ambition, let go of self-esteem that shouldn't be there, and only then can the road of martial arts go further.

As for why the two girls didn't move in after renting another courtyard, since it was vacant, why did they hire Lin Ansheng to watch the courtyard?
These two doubtful points that are likely to arouse others' suspicion have also discussed the explanation to the outside world.

It is the idea of ​​the two daughters' families to rent this other courtyard, and they want them to have a better living environment when the general election of the Zongmen is approaching.

Hiring Lin Ansheng to look after the hospital was a friendship formed the night before. The two women wanted to help a group of handyman disciples who had a meager monthly salary.

Anyway, the two girls don't live in another hospital, and Lin Ansheng lives alone, so it won't make people think more about their relationship.
Why did you go back on what you had agreed to after one night?

Is this what the ancients said, women are fickle?
Before Lin Ansheng could speak, Qin Qianqian spread her hands and said helplessly, "I went back to the residence last night and sister Yurou and I discussed it again. If this matter is known to the family members, they will definitely become suspicious."

"Besides, the Zongmen general election is coming soon, and we also want to live in a quieter place."

Shi Yurou on the side stared at Lin Ansheng with bright eyes, and nodded heavily.

Lin Ansheng was a little embarrassed: "It's nothing else, I just live with you as a man"

Qin Qianqian listened halfway, and immediately said: "We can trust your character, you have to plan for us, the night before yesterday. We will not be safe and sound."

When talking about such a topic, Shi Yurou couldn't be as calm as Qin Qianqian, who had regained her vivacity and a little petiteness. She lowered her eyes in embarrassment, but still nodded her chin and hummed lightly.

Lin Ansheng shook his head and said: "People's words are scary, I am worried that if people notice, some rumors will spread, which will damage the reputation of the two senior sisters."

Qin Qianqian looked very surprised when she heard that, Shi Yurou also raised her eyes with confusion.

Lin Ansheng was confused by their reaction: "Am I not right?"

This time it was Shi Yurou who answered him, with a clear and soft voice: "The senior brothers and sisters in the inner sect all live in such courtyards, and I haven't heard any gossip."

Qin Qianqian echoed: "Yes, there are several other courtyards in the outer gate where men and women live together. Senior Brother Fei, Senior Sister Ling, and Senior Sister Tong live in the same courtyard. Gu Changning, Qin Feng, and Junior Sister Ji also live in the same courtyard. There are no gossips, Sister Yurou and I planned to live in a different courtyard with a senior brother, but later that senior brother took over the mission of the sect and did not come back after leaving the mountain."

Lin Ansheng gradually realized that the internal layout of all other courtyards is like this. It is equivalent to a small building with three independent households. female.

Under normal circumstances, everyone is not surprised, and it is easy to accept it.

You can't blame him for thinking too much, but you can only blame him for staying in the Zong's kitchen and not knowing enough.

Without this worry, it's okay for the two girls to move in. Lin Ansheng thought about it again, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he nodded and said, "That's fine, you can move in together."

With Lin Ansheng's permission, the two girls showed joy. Immediately, Qin Qianqian said, "The three of us will share the rent equally, 20 yuan per person for a first-grade spirit stone."

Seemingly afraid of Lin Ansheng's refusal, Shi Yurou added: "The other brothers and sisters are also divided equally in this way."

Hearing what they said, Lin Ansheng was not hypocritical, so he agreed.

That night, the three of them moved into another courtyard. Shi Yurou lived in the left section, Qin Qianqian lived in the right section, and Lin Ansheng lived in the middle section closest to the backyard.

Two days later, the medicinal materials exchanged by the Qin family arrived and filled half of the carriage.

Another day, the medicinal materials that the teacher's family helped exchange also arrived, and half a carriage was loaded.

In addition to medicinal materials, there are also a batch of necessities for refining medicine.

Everything was ready, and the practice of refining medicine began.

That night, in the room that Lin Ansheng used as a refining room, Lin Ansheng lit a pile of charcoal fire, with a small copper stove above it, and hot water was boiling in the copper stove.

According to a practiced prescription, put the six medicinal materials and six medicinal materials into the copper furnace.

Then, use internal force to drive and control the exuberance of the flame.

After half a stick of incense, the medicinal liquid in the copper furnace turned dark red. Only then did Lin Ansheng belatedly realize that the internal force was being stimulated too violently, and trying to lower the internal force was of no avail. With a sound, the medicinal liquid splashed out and quickly turned black and red.

Lin Ansheng slapped his forehead, failed!

Pour out the scrapped liquid medicine in the copper furnace, clean it up, and start over.

This time, Lin Ansheng became cautious. From the very beginning, the output of internal force was more than he deliberately suppressed. As a result, the internal force was too small. After half a quarter of an hour, the liquid was only red, and then began to turn into a paste.

Lin Ansheng smiled wryly and shook his head, failed!

After a short break, continue for the third time
This continued for three and a half hours, and Lin Ansheng tried eleven times, all of which failed without exception.

The consumption of raw materials plus ink charcoal each time is almost two and a half yuan for a first-grade spirit stone, and eleven times is 27 and a half yuan.

However, the high concentration during refining medicine was a huge drain on physical strength and energy, and a full two and a half pieces of first-grade spirit stones were used as supplements.

In other words, this night, he spent 30 yuan for a first-grade spirit stone.

It is still a long way from successfully refining a finished product.

There are two steps in refining medicine. Heating to fuse the medicinal power of the six medicinal materials to achieve the appropriate benefit standard is only the first step, and the most critical second step is to change the liquid state into a solid state.

Any deviation in the second step means the loss of medicinal properties, which is related to the quality of the final product. Controlling the heat is much more difficult than the first step.

"Made, this is not refining medicine, it's burning money." After cleaning up the six copper furnaces, Lin Ansheng took a rough inventory, the corners of his eyes twitched violently, and couldn't help but swear.

The 30 yuan first-grade Lingshi was the sum of his eight or nine days of small pot dishes, and it just turned into nothing.

If it weren't for the rich inheritance left by the three coachmen, the practice of refining medicine might not be able to last even ten days.
