Shenfu Danzun

Chapter 20 Don't worry!
"Father and mother, I'm back!" Zhang Kun pushed open the dilapidated wooden door of his home, but his tone revealed joy. The beasts he hunted today are enough for the family to eat for several days.

"Kun'er! You." Seeing Zhang Kun coming back, Zhang's mother rushed out to greet Zhang Kun, but saw that Zhang Kun was holding a grizzly bear's paw in his hand and a pair of beast legs hanging on his back. Zhang's mother was surprised and speechless .

Then he said to Zhang Kun with a heavy face, "Where did you get these things from, and how do you have the money to buy them!"

Zhang Kun put down the beast, patted the dust on his hands and said with a smile: "Mother, the children hunted these in the mountains!" Now Zhang Kun was even more surprised. Even taller beast carcasses.

This kind of contrast was too strong, and Zhang's mother couldn't accept it for a while, her head stopped for a moment, and she stopped thinking.Zhang Kun smiled lightly and said, "Where are the brothers and sisters?"

"Ah, they're in the back room!" Mother Zhang finally realized.Zhang Kun nodded and said, "I'll go and accompany them first. I've dismembered all these beasts, and I'll leave them to your mother to take care of them!"

"Oh good, good!" Mother Zhang nodded numbly. It had been a long time since their family had meat, and the prey Zhang Kun brought today was far more than the meat the family had eaten in the past year!
So much so that Zhang's mother was in a trance, wondering if she was dreaming.When Zhang Kun came to the back room, his younger brother was still sleeping soundly, while his younger sister Zhang Xiyao was sitting on the ground, playing with an old wooden toy.

Zhang Xiyao is nine years old this year, and it is still early before being sent to the ethnology school to practice ancient martial arts, but if ordinary girls do not have special talents, it is difficult for them to go very far on the path of cultivation.

Generally speaking, when you are an adult, you should find a good family to marry. Originally, based on Zhang Kun's family's embarrassment, the fate of the younger sister is completely out of his hands, but now it is different.

Zhang Kun has the confidence to change all this, because he is already an alchemist. Although he is only the lowest-ranked first-level alchemist, he has mastered the tricks, and the quality of the alchemy can often reach the middle grade.

After playing with his sister for a while, Zhang Kun came to his father's sickbed. Zhang Chao leaned up weakly and said to Zhang Kun, "Kun'er, has the clan competition already been held?"

Because Zhang Kun didn't want his family to worry before, so he didn't tell his family that the family competition was about to take place, but now he has been recognized by the patriarch, and he will continue to study in the ethnology, so he naturally wants to tell his family the good news .

"Father, don't worry, I have passed the assessment and can continue to stay in the ethnology." Zhang Kun grinned, trying to convey his optimism to his father. "There is another piece of good news," Zhang Kun said.

"Huh?" Zhang Chao looked at the eldest son in front of him with a smile, and suddenly realized something, he couldn't speak for a while because of his mood swings, which caused him to cough violently.

Zhang Kun quickly patted Zhang Chao's back to help him breathe. After Zhang Chao recovered, he looked at Zhang Kun with surprise and said, "Kun'er, you have already reached the yellow level?"

"That's right, and it's the middle stage of the yellow class, and it's only a matter of time before we break through to the late stage!" Zhang Kun said confidently.In fact, after he had the acceleration effect of the bronze mirror world and the guidance of Gongsun Yangyan, the speed of his cultivation was greatly improved.

Before, Zhang Kun had to take care of his family and go out to work because he was traveling between home and the pharmacy. He was too busy, so he didn't have enough time to practice.

But now as long as he sells a few qi-enhancing pills, he can immediately get a lot of gold, and he doesn't need to go to the drugstore to be busy until the sky is dark.

The time saved is spent on cultivation, and it is only a matter of time before Zhang Kun emerges in ethnology with his original talent.

Zhang Kun came back tonight and brought too many surprises to this distressed family. The family dinner finally had a happy atmosphere. Zhang Kun smiled and looked at his family members with smiles. The pain he suffered that day on Changyang Mountain was gone It's nothing.

"Mother, I have to go to the pharmacy tonight." Zhang Kun bid farewell to his mother after dinner, and arrived at the pharmacy with ease. The shopkeeper Yin Haihui was sitting on the counter with a sad face and sighing.

Zhang Kun entered the pharmacy in doubt, Yin Haihui saw Zhang Kun at a glance, and immediately asked: "Zhang Kun, didn't you take a few days off, why are you back now?"

"Well, I've finished my work," Zhang Kun said, "I have borrowed so many medicinal materials from the pharmacy, so why do I have to work part-time to pay them back?"

"By the way, shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?" Seeing his miserable face, Zhang Kun asked, "Is the business in the pharmacy not good recently?"

"That's not true," Yin Haihui explained: "Dong Hancheng has been sick for the past few days and has not come to the pharmacy. It happened that a customer came to ask for alchemy. Since Dong Hancheng was not here, I had no choice but to decline."

"It's just that the amount of the business was huge. If I gave up like this, it would be really painful to think about it!" Yin Haihui held his head and repeatedly expressed regret.

Zhang Kun thought for a while and then asked: "Excuse me, the shopkeeper, what kind of medicine does that customer need, so much?"

Pills are not beans, and the only ones who can spend such a large amount of money to purchase pills are usually big families and some organizational forces, but which of these behemoths has its own alchemist?

It is rare for Yin Haihui to come to the pharmacy to order elixir, so Yin Haihui feels that it is even more regrettable to miss this rare opportunity.

"It's a first-class elixir called Yanfang Pill. The buyer over there can provide the materials and prescriptions. We just need to send alchemists to refine it!" Yin Haihui said.

Zhang Kun thought to himself: "A first-class elixir, it seems that I can try to refine it. These days, I have received a lot of care from the shopkeeper, so I might as well help him."

"Okay, Zhang Kun, go get busy first!" Yin Haihui felt that it would be useless to continue talking with Zhang Kun. Could it be that the 14-year-old boy in front of him could practice the elixir?

Zhang Kun didn't leave when he heard the words. Instead, he looked at Yin Haihui and said, "Shopkeeper, I worshiped Mr. Dong as my teacher before and learned a few skills in alchemy from him. Since it is a first-class elixir, you can let me refine it for a trial." try!"

Yin Haihui was taken aback, and looked at the young man in front of him. Seeing his serious appearance, he didn't think he was joking, but he was probably a young man who had studied with his master for a few days. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

He shook his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, I am already very content with you having such a heart, but I know that the road to alchemy cannot be accomplished in a day or two."

"Although I know that you are proficient in grasping and identifying medicines, alchemy is not such a simple matter." Yin Haihui waved his hand, not believing that Zhang Kun could make pills.

Zhang Kun was not annoyed either, he also knew that others would not believe that a 14-year-old boy could make alchemy, this was really an oriental night story to them.

"Shopkeeper, why don't you come to the alchemy room, I can prove it to you!" Zhang Kun said calmly, as if to say that alchemy is as simple as eating and drinking for him.

This made Yin Haihui amused. Unexpectedly, Zhang Kun was so persistent, he shook his head and said helplessly, "Well, I'll see if what you said is true!"

When he came to the alchemy room, Zhang Kun casually took out a few ingredients from the medicine cabinet beside him, raised the fire in the alchemy furnace, and began to refine his best Qi-enhancing pill without saying a word.

Grabbing the medicine, purifying, warming, controlling the fire, merging, and congealing the pills were done in one go. As the fire gradually went out, Zhang Kun took out the pills from the pill furnace.

Yin Haihui felt that Zhang Kun's technique was proficient since he started refining medicine, and he was not as rusty and procrastinated as a novice in alchemy. He had changed his view of Zhang Kun in his heart.

When he took out the elixir, he was really shocked. The qi-enhancing pill that Zhang Kun took out had a faint gleam, and there was a burst of fragrance in the elixir room.

"Oh my God, you really did it!" Yin Haihui opened his mouth slightly and took the Qi Enhancing Pill from Zhang Kun's hand, looking left and right to see if there were any flaws.

"Wait, shopkeeper, don't worry." Zhang Kun smiled mysteriously, stretched out his hand to probe into the alchemy furnace, and took out another Qi-enhancing pill, which was exactly the same as the one just now!
