Chapter 112: Saving Someone for Nothing
nd fight the other side, defending their homes and families.But before Granddad's orders, they didn't dare to act rashly and could only remain on standby.Finally, Grandfather's heavy sigh echoed from...The gazes of the three burly men were instantly drawn to the bronze cauldron in the young man's hand.
To know that a cauldron entirely cast from bronze, half a man's height, weighs at least over a thousand jin, yet this young man, looking thin and frail, could lift it with one hand without any effort, he must surely be incredibly strong.
This also caused the three burly men to turn their gazes towards the young man, a hint of caution appearing on their faces.
"My dad left He even greeted me, how did I not know" The young man named Xia Shi was taken aback at first, but then suddenly reacted. He took a step towards the young man and grabbed his shoulders with both hands, saying, "It's good that you're here, Brother Gu Jiang, you scared me to death! They were going to rob us!"
This young man, of course, is Jiang Yun!
As early as two months ago, he had arrived in this Nánxīng City.
He had to admit, coming to Nánxīng City for the first time, he was completely stunned by the city's prosperity and bustle. Although he had passed through some small towns on his way from Mángshān to Wèndào宗 before, they were simply incomparable to Nánxīng City.
Since Luo Family's ancestor's birthday was almost half a year away, and he needed to experience the world, he came up with an idea. He arrived at this Multi-Medicine Pavilion and became a furnace brush boy, not asking for wages, just food and lodging.
In Nanxing City, although many shops are opened by major sects and aristocratic families, there is none from the Wudao Sect. This is because Luo Family is the biggest boss in Nanxing City.
As for the Luo family, it is said that their relationship with the Wudao Sect is not very good, so they do not allow the Wudao Sect to enter Nanshen City.
Considering that he would still need to go to the Luo family in the future, if word got out that he had become a shop assistant, it would be embarrassing for his master and sect. Therefore, Jiang Yun changed his name.
Although this apothecary shop is small and the father and son owners aren't very powerful—the father has reached the seventh level of pulse-opening, while his son is only at the third—he finds it a good place to be, so he stays there.
When he had nothing to do, he would brush the cauldron. When he was free, he would either sit at the door and watch the flow of people or take a stroll in the courtyard, wandering around the city aimlessly. At night, he would cultivate peacefully in his own small room.
He had seen and heard a lot, and many voices and images corresponded to what he had experienced in the human world. Coupled with his natural intelligence, he was no longer as naive and ignorant about human affairs as before.
More importantly, he also had a deeper understanding of the way of man.
All in all, the past two months have been very fulfilling for him.
He was just brushing a large cauldron at the back when he heard the conversation between Xia Shi and Da Han. Naturally, he knew that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble. Worried that Xia Shi would be taken advantage of, he came out.
"Xia Shi, you're about to climb on top of me!," Jiang Yun said helplessly. "Xia Shi, can you please let go of me first People already said it wasn't a robbery, it's about identifying medicinal herbs. What do you have to be afraid of!"
Xia Shi cried with a mournful face and said, "Even if it's about identifying medicinal herbs, I wouldn't know how without Father here!"
Xia Shi's father is a master alchemist of the first rank. Almost all the medicinal pills sold in his shop are made by him, and he can indeed identify medicinal materials.
"I'll give it a try!"
“You!” Xia Shi suddenly widened her eyes, loosened her hands, and took two steps back, as if she had never seen Jiang Yun before. She looked him up and down and said, “Elder Brother Gu, can you identify medicinal herbs Why have you never told me Could it be that you’re a hidden master”
Gingercloud was too lazy to bother with him. She reached out and gently placed the brush and large cauldron in her hands on the ground, then walked straight to the counter.
However, Ginger Cloud did not look at the plant on the counter. Instead, she first glanced at the three burly men and her brows furrowed slightly.
Then, Ginger Cloud only took the multicolored plant and glanced at it before putting it back. "This is a Seven-Leaf Bitter Chrysanthemum. If it were complete, it would be worth a fortune, but yours is missing a leaf, so it's not worth much. At most, you could sell it for one hundred first-grade spirit stones!"
"Pass gas!" Upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, the red-robed man grinned and said, "What seven-leaf bitter chrysanthemum, this is clearly rainbow celestial grass, priceless. You kid is still too young to try to fool us!"
Facing the Han's unruly and chaotic behavior, Ginger Cloud did not show anger, but calmly said: "Even if I wanted to fool someone, I would never fool a dying person!"
"What did you say! You dare curse us to death, I'll crush you!"
Standing next to the red-robed giant was a bearded man with a fierce expression. His face changed drastically, and he suddenly reached out towards Jiang Yun.
Although Ginger Cloud didn't know the cultivation level of these three burly men, he could tell from their speed that they were definitely inferior to him.
But he didn't dodge or flinch, allowing the other party to grab his collar. He calmly said: "I'm not cursing you. Near a seven-leaf bitter chrysanthemum, there will inevitably be a parting grass growing together. And the parting grass can emit a tasteless poison. When you were picking this seven-leaf bitter chrysanthemum, you should have inhaled some."
"Lately, have you noticed some red spots around your belly button, about three inches above it They're not painful or itchy, and they seem to be getting fewer. When these red spots disappear completely, that's when your time is up!"
Jiang Yun's string of words gradually replaced the anger on the faces of the three burly men with a hint of fear.
When Ginger Cloud finished speaking, the burly man's wrist trembled violently. He loosened his grip on Ginger Cloud's collar and turned to face his two companions.
After a moment of silence, three burly men suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Yun, pressing their heads to the ground and saying, "Please, young master, save us."
Obviously, what Jiangyun said was all right!
At this point, Xia Shi was dumbfounded. His gaze flitted between Jiang Yun and the three men kneeling on the ground, his face full of disbelief.
After a long while, Xia Shi suddenly leaned into Jiang Yun's ear and whispered, "Brother Gujiang, are you fooling them"
"Get out of here!" Jiang Yun pushed Xia Shi aside and said to the three burly men, "Saving you isn't difficult, but..."
Before Gingercloud could finish his words, the three burly men immediately understood. With a flick of their wrists, each of them produced a handful of shimmering spirit stones, totaling over a hundred. "As long as you can save us, little brother, these spirit stones are yours."
"If that's not enough, we have some talismans and pills here, though they aren't very valuable."
Ginger waved his hand and said, "I don't mean that. What I mean is saving you isn't difficult, but I hope you won't do things like extortion and robbery again in the future."
At this point, the three big men, along with Xia Shi, all four of them looked up at Jiang Yun. But their gazes were like looking at a monster.
There are such people in this world, who save others for no reason, just to make them turn away from evil and embrace goodness...
“Actually, the way to save you is very simple. Since Seven-Leaf Chrysanthemum and Falling Willow Grass are each other's companions, if you have been poisoned by Falling Willow Grass, you can use Seven-Leaf Chrysanthemum to cure it. Take three leaves of red, green, and purple from this Seven-Leaf Chrysanthemum, boil them in water, and drink it!”
After uttering those words, Jiang Yun turned and walked away, clutching a brush in one hand and a large cauldron in the other, continuing his work. He left behind four dumbfounded figures.
