Entering Taoism from the womb

Chapter 8 Self-taught alchemy

Early the next morning, all core members of the Jiang family were summoned to the family meeting hall by Jiang Wen, and the doors and windows were closed, strictly prohibiting any outsiders from approaching.

Jiang Wen took out a piece of soap made by Zhao Pingan and showed it to everyone: "Guess how much silver this piece of soap is worth."

After speaking, he passed it to others to watch one by one.

The core members of the Jiang family took turns holding the soap in their hands and looking at it. They were amazed. They had never seen soap of such high quality and perfection.

The soap finally returned to Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wen asked, "Please tell me its price."

"Thirty taels of silver!" Zhao Ping'an's second uncle spoke up first.

Someone immediately expressed a different opinion: "At least fifty taels!"

"It's worth a hundred taels!" Someone shouted more expensively, a woman's voice.

Jiang Shuyue looked up and saw that she was her second aunt.

Her second aunt was extremely talented and ranked second among the masters of the Jiang family. Instead of getting married, she found a son-in-law.

Jiang Wen couldn't help but glare at his sister, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you call me one thousand taels?"

Unexpectedly, the second aunt was unconvinced and said: "If I had more money, I would buy it if it was more than a thousand taels!"

Jiang Wen laughed a little angrily, but he smiled happily.

This piece of soap is indeed more sought after by women, who are willing to pay a higher price.

"Shu Yue, please introduce to everyone the origin of this piece of soap." Jiang Wen turned to Jiang Shuyue and said.

Everyone's eyes then focused on Jiang Shuyue. Jiang Shuyue's beautiful face couldn't help but reveal a touch of pride: "This piece of soap was given to me by Ping An. However, he didn't buy it, but he made it with his own hands." Made!”

"Ah!!!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, with disbelief on their faces.

You know, Zhao Ping'an is only one year old and is still at the age of breastfeeding (even though he has been weaned), and this piece of pancreas is as white as jade, with no other odor, only the scent of jasmine. It is a perfect treasure, as you can imagine How difficult is it to make.

After a moment, the second uncle Zhao Ping'an suddenly burst into laughter: "Ping'an is so filial and extremely smart!"

Everyone recovered from the shock and praised Zhao Pingan one after another, lamenting that Zhao Pingan might be the reincarnation of a saint.

After a lot of praise, the second aunt asked Jiang Shuyue: "Shuyue, how did Ping An make this piece of soap?"

The meeting hall immediately became so quiet that a pindrop could be heard, and all eyes were focused on Jiang Shuyue, full of expectations.

Jiang Shuyue smiled and said: "Ping An has told me all about the production method of this kind of soap. The production method is not complicated and the cost is not high."

Everyone couldn't help but look happy, which meant that the family had another way to make money.

Jiang Shuyue then smiled and said: "According to my calculations, even if we only sell this kind of soap for half a tael, we can still make a profit."

coax--

The meeting hall boiled instantly, and everyone couldn't help but get excited.

After Zhao Pingan told Jiang Shuyue how to make soap, Jiang Shuyue did not spend more time with Zhao Pingan from now on, but became even busier.

Because the Jiang family wants to build a soap workshop, and the soap making method must be kept strictly confidential, they can only use the Jiang family's own people as much as possible. As one of the leaders of the soap workshop, Jiang Shuyue was busy in the early stages.

Zhao Ping'an guessed the reason and would not blame his mother for keeping her word.

After being bored for two days, Zhao Ping'an seriously thought about the issue of future cultivation qualifications.

Making and selling soap is just a small profit. If the profit is too huge or the profit is too much, the Jiang family will not be able to maintain the soap craftsmanship.

Moreover, as time goes by, the soap craftsmanship will definitely be leaked out, and it cannot really become a unique business.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to expect that a piece of soap will provide him with a steady stream of spiritual resources.

"Since I need to take a lot of elixirs in the future, then I will learn to make elixirs." This is how Zhao Ping'an decided on his future side job.

In the evening, Zhao Pingan waited until Jiang Shuyue came back after a busy day.

"Mother, I want to learn alchemy." He said to Jiang Shuyue seriously.

Jiang Shuyue was slightly surprised: "Why do you suddenly want to learn alchemy? But you are still too young, and alchemy may be dangerous."

Zhao Ping'an didn't give a reason, he just begged with a hint of coquettishness: "Mother, please."

"Okay." Jiang Shuyue agreed as expected.

She was quite relieved about Zhao Ping'an.

After dinner, Jiang Shuyue went to find Jiang Wen and asked Jiang Wen to find an alchemy teacher for Zhao Pingan.

Alchemists have a noble status. Alchemists who are slightly famous are well-established and will not easily accept apprentices. In addition to high apprenticeship fees, they also need strong enough connections.

Jiang Wen agreed immediately. He was looking forward to Zhao Pingan becoming an alchemist. This grandson was so smart.

The next morning, Jiang Wen took Zhao Pingan out to apprentice.

Unexpectedly, they encountered obstacles at every turn and were declined.

For two or three days in a row, I visited five or six alchemists, but all of them declined Zhao Pingan.

Jiang Wen's face didn't look good, so he returned to an alchemist he visited to ask for the real reason.

The alchemist had a close friendship with Jiang Wen, and the Jiang family had purchased elixirs from him for many years.

"My grandson has a special status, and Chen's family has a small business, so he really doesn't dare to touch the trouble of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion." The alchemist told the truth.

The Zhennanhou Mansion is like a local emperor in Baidi City. The alchemists have extensive connections and are well-informed. They know that Jiang Shuyue and Zhao Pingan, mother and son, were actually kicked out of the Zhennanhou Mansion.

In addition, Zhao Yingpeng's remarried wife Su Yingluo has a great background. Not only is she a direct descendant of the Su family in Qingzhou, but she is also the only lay female disciple of the Lord of Pudu Mountain.

Pudu Mountain has a huge influence in the south of Dagan Country, with many Buddhist temples, prosperous incense, and countless believers.

Even if Zhennan Marquis Mansion does not care about accepting Zhao Pingan as a disciple, if Su Yingluo is upset, they will still be in trouble.

Jiang Wen couldn't help but feel angry when he learned the reason why Zhao Pingan was rejected repeatedly, but he was helpless.

"Grandpa, it's okay, I won't become your disciple." Zhao Pingan comforted Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen reached out and stroked Zhao Pingan's little head, sighing: "Pingan, you are so smart and sensible, I'm wronged."

Zhao Pingan made another note of Zhennan Marquis Mansion in his little notebook.

"Grandpa, I can actually learn to make alchemy by myself. Can you help me collect some alchemy books and recipes?" Zhao Pingan said to Jiang Wen seriously.

Jiang Wen frowned and said, "Alchemy is not a trivial matter. It is not an easy task. Even if there are famous teachers teaching in person, most people still cannot become alchemists."

"Just let me mess around and play. I am bored every day." Zhao Ping'an asked pitifully.

Jiang Wen smiled bitterly and said, "You are too precocious, so you feel bored. Others are just learning to walk when they are one year old."

Hesitated for a moment, he said dotingly, "Okay, grandpa will help you find alchemy books and recipes, including alchemy furnaces, etc."

"Thank you, grandpa." Zhao Ping'an said happily.

Jiang Wen bent down and picked up Zhao Ping'an, feeling very sorry for this grandson.

Five days later, Jiang Wen found a basic alchemy book and two recipes for Zhao Ping'an, prepared an alchemy furnace for Zhao Ping'an, and gave Zhao Ping'an three hundred taels of silver.

The basic alchemy book is called "36 Tips for Alchemy", which guides beginners on how to get started with alchemy.

The two prescriptions were "Hundred Herbs Liquid" and "Qi Xue Pills", both of which were low-grade prescriptions suitable for beginners to practice.

Zhao Pingan picked up "36 Essentials of Alchemy" and flipped through it quickly.

After a while, he finished reading "36 Essentials of Alchemy", and then he quickly read "Hundred Herbs Liquid" and "Qi Xue Pills", then he closed the book and the prescription, closed his eyes slightly, and opened the panel in his mind.

Zhao Ping'an set his sights on "36 Essentials of Alchemy", added proficiency points to it, and filled it up in one go.

At one time, a large amount of alchemy knowledge and techniques poured into his mind, and Zhao Pingan held on to his mind to accept it.

After two or three breaths, Zhao Pingan completely comprehended the "36 Essentials of Alchemy".

Opening his eyes, Zhao Pingan showed a relaxed smile.

After exhaling a breath of turbid air, he closed his eyes again and opened the panel again, his eyes still on the "36 Essentials of Alchemy".

Continue to add points to the "36 Essentials of Alchemy" until the proficiency points are increased to ten times the requirement.

A deeper understanding of the "36 Essentials of Alchemy" poured into his mind, as if he had comprehended and practiced the "36 Essentials of Alchemy" for decades.

Zhao Pingan continued to add proficiency points to the "36 Essentials of Alchemy" to a hundred times.

For a time, he had a deeper and new understanding of the "36 Essentials of Alchemy", and brought forth new ideas.

I saw that the "36 Essentials of Alchemy" changed and automatically changed to the "48 True Secrets of Alchemy".

Zhao Pingan opened his eyes and showed joy: "I have comprehended the "Forty-eight True Secrets of Alchemy". As long as there is a middle-grade pill formula, I can make a middle-grade elixir!"

After a while of joy, Zhao Pingan continued to work hard and added proficiency points to "Hundred Herbs Liquid" and "Qi and Blood Pills" respectively, increasing them to 100 times, and then comprehended the "Hundred Herbs Pill" pill formula [low-grade] and "Qi and Blood Pill" pill formula [low-grade] respectively.

Opening his eyes again, Zhao Pingan stood up and walked out while muttering to himself: "The next step is to purchase medicinal materials and make pills."
