I just wanted to become an immortal and was forced to open a harem

He is the owner and doctor of this Kampo pharmacy. He has good medical skills and has a good reputation in the neighborhood.

"No, I'm just here to buy some medicinal materials." Lin Hezhen glanced at the labels on the medicine cabinet. The variety was quite complete.

"Oh?" The old man looked at the young man in front of him. He had a face he had never seen nearby.

He said kindly: "Then please help this young man bring the prescription. I am not boasting. Our store has all the medicinal materials and is old enough. We can even get some unorthodox prescriptions together."

Being called a young man, Lin Hezhen couldn't help but smile. He was a man of three generations and was not young at all.

But age does not equal experience.

Lin Hezhen was just a student before time travel, and he had only spent more than 20 years in the world of immortality. He had not recovered his memory for the first 17 years of this life, so his state of mind was not old.

"There is no prescription, so I dictate it and ask the elderly to help me get the medicine."

After that, he ignored the old man's surprised expression and directly reported a list of the names of the medicines as well as the required year and weight.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and called his two apprentices to grab the medicine together.

In order to match their efficiency, Lin Hezhen deliberately slowed down his speaking speed and repeated it several times to make sure there were no mistakes.

Fortunately, the medicinal materials he needed were not very rare and precious, but were common medicinal materials for nourishing qi and blood, and they were quickly gathered together.

After paying the money, Lin Hezhen thanked him and went out with the medicinal materials.

Turning on the mobile phone navigation, Lin Hezhen went to several other pharmacies and bought some medicinal materials from each one. Finally, he collected all the medicines on the two prescriptions.

At the same time, he bought a few extra unrelated medicinal ingredients at each store to confuse the public and ensure that it was difficult to piece together his true prescription.

No matter what world he is in, knowledge is priceless. Besides, he just wants to hide in the city now and doesn't want others to notice his extraordinaryness easily.

In the last store, he bought a frying pan for cooking medicine and paid the store clerk to deliver it to his home.

After finishing these things, Lin Hezhen returned to the apartment carrying various shopping bags.

Because he had something to do in the evening, he was not in the mood to prepare dinner, so he only bought a curry beef bento at a convenience store.

After dinner, he did a little cleaning, and the doorbell rang. It turned out that the frying pan had arrived.

Lin Hezhen placed the frying pan in the kitchen, put the medicinal materials into the pan one by one, and began to cook the medicine.

Modern frying pans are equipped with a thermometer, which can also set the required temperature independently. It is very convenient to adjust the heat. It will also automatically stir and roll to prevent the pan from sticking.

After boiling over high heat, turn down the heat and simmer for two hours. After setting the time, Lin Hezhen left the kitchen, turned on the computer, browsed the web, and collected information about the world.

Almost an hour later, Lin Hezhen finally confirmed that this world was not the world before he traveled, but a similar parallel world. The general history was similar, but there were many differences in details.

Lin Hezhen closed the computer with a little regret, feeling lost.

How is your family doing now?Are you in good health?happy?

When he left, my sister was only 5 years old. When she came back from kindergarten every day, she would always shout loudly: "Brother, let's play hide and seek."

At that time, he just thought she was annoying.Looking back now, I am only filled with longing.

"Girl, it's all up to you from now on. You must take good care of my mother, and I will take care of you as well."

So many years have passed, and the past is like a dream, like dew and lightning.

This feeling can be treated as a recollection, but it was lost at the time.

Chapter 5

"Jingle bell—"

The frying pan alarm clock rang, and Lin Hezhen reluctantly put down "Bing Guo" and went to the kitchen, poured out the concoction and poured it into the bathroom bathtub.

While turning on the hot water faucet and filling the bathtub with water, Lin Hezhen returned to the kitchen, cleaned out the medicinal residue in the frying pan, poured in another recipe of medicinal materials that had been prepared, added water and started cooking.

After setting a time, Lin Hezhen returned to the bathroom. At this time, the bathtub was already half full of water. He took off his clothes and soaked in the water.

The white steaming hot water mixed with concoction immediately surrounded him, and every pore on his body seemed to be opened in an instant, making him sigh in relief.

Lin Hezhen sat down cross-legged, leaving only his head and neck above the water, allowing the "Three Pure Creation Mysterious Techniques" to automatically operate in his body to absorb the medicinal power.

In fact, even if you don't practice Qigong, you can still regulate your body by taking medicinal baths and drinking medicine for a long time. However, the efficiency of this energy absorption method is too low, so the sages in the world of cultivation have developed various cultivation methods.

Later, cultivators even completely gave up eating, an inefficient way of absorbing energy, and instead absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice.

Soaking in the potion, as Lin Hezhen performed his exercises, the medicinal power absorbed by the skin condensed like water droplets, brewing a trickle of spiritual energy in the meridians, and gradually gathered into a stream.

He worked hard to control the trickle of spiritual energy in his body, connected it with Yuanying, and used Yuanying to enhance the effect of his cultivation.

His current situation is quite special. Since he already has a Nascent Soul, he does not need to start from scratch like ordinary cultivators. For him, the realms of physical training, Qi training, foundation building, elixir formation, and infant formation are all for him. does not exist.

However, his body is still a mortal, and he needs to gradually improve his physical fitness and spiritual power. As long as he reaches the level of cultivation, the improvement of his realm will be a matter of course.

I don't know how many great Zhoutians have passed by, the hot water in the vat gradually became colder, and the color of the originally brown potion became much lighter, and the potion was absorbed by him.

At the same time, Lin Hezhen's skin surface discharged a lot of dirt, which were impurities that had been hidden in the body in the past, and were now forced out of the body by spiritual power.

Lin Hezhen got out of the bathtub and turned on the shower head to clean the dirt on the surface of his body.

After draining the water in the bathtub, he came to the bedroom wrapped in a bath towel, dried his body, put on a set of casual clothes, and entered the kitchen.

At this time, the medicine in the frying pan was ready. He poured the medicine into a bowl and walked to the balcony with the bowl in hand.

Opening the window, the April night breeze blows in your face, and the colorful neon lights in the city fall into the world like stars in the sky, shining as brightly as the Milky Way.

Although it is not as shocking as the natural, primitive and magnificent galaxies in the world of cultivation, it is very warm. Under every lamp is a family and a life, and the little lights are like the human world, full of smoke and fire.

Lin Hezhen admired the night view for a while, drank the concoction which was not so hot after cooling for a while, and drank it down in one bowl, sweating all over his body.

"happy!"

He put down the bowl, returned to the living room, opened the shelf and started boxing.

I saw him standing steadily like a bear guarding a cave, leaping forward like a tiger scouring a mountain, waving his arms like a dragon and bending his body, stepping on his feet like an eagle with its claws, lifting his hands and feet like a light weight, combining strength and softness, relaxed and relaxed, and every move is full of beauty.

While punching, the spiritual energy in the body moves through the limbs and bones according to the movement path of the technique, transforming the body in all aspects.

After finishing a set of boxing exercises, Lin Hezhen's face was neither red nor out of breath. Instead, he felt refreshed and became more energetic the more he practiced.

This is the power of top-notch exercises. Coupled with drug supplements, Lin He is really confident that this body can be reborn in a short time.

Of course, if he does 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10 kilometers of long-distance running every day, he can become stronger if he insists on doing this for three years. However, he will only squeeze his weak body too much, which can easily lead to hair loss.

Lin Hezhen had no interest in converting to Buddhism, nor did he want to waste too much time on training. He just wanted to regain his strength as soon as possible.

Therefore, while the medicine was still powerful, he practiced the body-building boxing over and over again, trying to maximize the medicine's effect.

By the time the medicine was fully absorbed, it was almost 12 o'clock in the night. After practicing under the moonlight, Lin He stopped with great satisfaction and went to the bathroom to rinse his body again.

When he put on clean clothes, his stomach growled.

After all, he had just undergone strenuous exercise, and his body was far from the realm of inedia. How could he not be hungry?

Unfortunately, there was nothing to eat at home. Lin Hezhen closed the empty refrigerator and went out to find food helplessly.

He wandered slowly on the streets, enjoying the feeling of walking alone through the brightly lit metropolis at midnight.

The hustle and bustle of the day has ended. Even in a city that never sleeps like Dongdu, there are very few people walking on the streets at this time. There are only a few pedestrians hurriedly walking home.

Lin Hezhen just strolled under the light cast by street lamps and nearby high-rise buildings, strolling leisurely through the streets and alleys.

He walked alone through alleys that were either deserted or still had shops in business, looking around casually, when a small shop came into view.

It is hidden in the corner of a quiet alley in the bustling city. The bright yellow light in the room is faintly revealed through the gap in the door curtain. Its name is "a small shop".

Whether it was the simple store name or the familiar Chinese characters that touched his heartstrings, Lin Hezhen walked to the door of the store, opened the wooden sliding door, and then heard "Welcome" coming from inside.

The space of the small shop is not large. There is a circle of seats in the lobby around the counter where food is prepared, and then there are four tables and seats placed beside the tables. There are also two small semi-open booths separated by curtains around the wall. box.

At this time, there were already three customers sitting in the shop.

A middle-aged uncle and a young man talked in low voices while eating food and drinking, and bursts of laughter from time to time.A young woman dressed in a white-collar style was eating silently at another table.

Lin Hezhen was not interested in sharing a table with others and walked straight to the seat in front of the counter.

"What do the guests want to eat?" the boss asked with a smile.

He was a middle-aged man with a gentle temperament. When he smiled, his eyes turned into crescents, and he was very approachable.

The shop environment was very clean. Lin Hezhen nodded with satisfaction and asked, "What do you have to eat here?"

“As long as it’s a home-cooked dish, I can make it if the customer tells me the name of the dish. Even if it’s a very unpopular dish, as long as the customer explains how to make it, I can make it.”

"Such a loud tone?" Lin Hezhen was a little surprised.

The boss smiled and said nothing. Seeing that he was confident, it didn't look like he was bragging.

"Then bring me mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, and cucumber. I want the authentic way, and a bowl of rice." He emphasized the word "authentic."

This time it was the boss's turn to be surprised. He looked at Lin Hezhen and asked in Chinese: "International student?"

"Is that so? The boss is also from China?"

"I've been here for 15 years," he said with a nostalgic tone.

Lin Hezhen smiled: "It turns out we are from my hometown. It seems I can look forward to the hometown dishes later."

The boss also smiled and said, "I won't let you down."

Chapter 6 The moon is the hometown of Ming Dynasty

After saying that, the boss turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Chinese cooking has a strong smell of oil smoke and is not suitable for cooking in an open kitchen.

Lin Hezhen was sitting bored in his seat playing with his mobile phone. He happened to find Sakurajima Mai's encyclopedia and clicked in to read it.

In this island country of the world, Mai Sakurajima is a national star.

She debuted as a child actress at the age of 6 and played an important role in a hit TV series.

The popularity of her debut work brought huge popularity to Mai Sakurajima, making her an instant hit.

After that, she starred in many movies, TV series, radio dramas, commercials, and variety shows. She was so popular that she could be seen on TV almost every day.

Many child stars became famous in their early years, but became unknown or even quit the entertainment industry when they grew up. However, Mai Sakurajima not only continued her acting career in middle school, but her strength was unanimously recognized by the industry and the audience.

When Sakurajima Mai grew up to 14 years old, she became a charming and beautiful girl. At that time, the movie in which she played the heroine became a hit, causing Sakurajima Mai to once again arouse heated discussions.

In less than a week, all the magazine covers were replaced with her photos, which made her successfully transform from a "child star" to an "actress".

At that time, Mai Sakurajima had the cuteness of a child star and the purity of a girl, coupled with the mysterious and sexy temperament that occasionally showed up, and she immediately became every teenager's first love on the screen.

Just when Mai Sakurajima's popularity reached its peak again, she suddenly publicly announced that she would stop all performing arts activities on the grounds of "focusing on her studies," triggering various speculations.

Lin Hezhen had no interest in those gossips. She just wanted to try to see if she could find any clues about "Shenyin" from her life experience, but unfortunately she didn't get any useful information.

Her "declaration of withdrawal" was somewhat interesting, but that was two years ago.

Judging from the aura of Mai Sakurajima, she has only been in the "divine hidden" state for a few days, so there should be no relationship between the two.

"Your order is ready, please take your time." The boss placed a portion of Kung Pao Chicken and a bowl of rice in front of Lin Hezhen.

"So fast?" He closed the page and put away his phone. Looking at the delicious and delicious food in front of him, he couldn't help but move his index finger.

"Of course, how can we keep the guests waiting for so long? Try it while it's hot. When it's cold, the pot will lose its steam." After the boss finished speaking, he returned to the kitchen to cook the next dish.

Lin Hezhen picked up a piece of Kung Pao chicken with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

After entering the mouth of the diced chicken, the tip of the tongue first feels slightly numb and slightly spicy, and then the taste buds are hit by a sweetness. When chewing, there will be some sour feeling, which makes people want to stop.

Then pick up a peanut and put it in your mouth. The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.

He couldn't help but praise: "Boss, your Kung Pao Chicken is spicy and fragrant, the meat is smooth and crispy, the taste is spicy and sweet, sweet and sour, it is really a masterpiece."

The boss' hearty laughter came from the kitchen: "Of course, my skills are truly inherited! Mapo tofu is also good, please use it slowly."

A steaming dish of Mapo Tofu was brought to the table, the aroma was overflowing, and the guests at the other two tables all looked over.

The snow-white tofu is mixed with the red sauce, paired with fresh green garlic sprouts and green onions, and a handful of peppercorns are sprinkled on top. It looks fresh, fragrant and impeccable.

Lin Hezhen raised the small spoon and scooped it gently. A piece of tender tofu covered in soup seemed to slide into the spoon automatically, accompanied by a curl of white smoke, and was brought into his mouth.

In an instant, the eight-character motto of Mapo Tofu: "Massive, spicy, hot, fragrant, crispy, tender, fresh and alive" appeared in his mind.

The numbing and pure peppercorn noodles, the special spicy bean paste, and the steam from the hot pot made him tremble the moment it entered his mouth. The hairs on his back stood up, and a stream of heat penetrated from his mouth straight into his stomach, exciting him. A thin layer of sweat broke out all over his body.

"Authentic!" He quickly took a mouthful of rice to neutralize the spiciness, and then scooped a spoonful of tofu into his mouth.

The tofu is tender and smooth, and melts in your mouth. The minced meat filling mixed in it is golden in color, red and crispy, and the fresh green garlic sprouts seem to have just been picked and chopped from the field. .
