Entering Taoism from the womb

Walking into the courtyard, Zhao Pingan called out to the nurse who was drying clothes: "Nanny, please ask Steward Chen Donglai to come see me."

Chen Donglai is the steward of the Jiang Mansion's guard team. He is a family son of the Jiang Mansion. He is loyal and reliable. He has reached the late stage of Tongmai Realm and his strength is quite good.

Zhao Pingan needs not only labor but also guards to deter the villains to purchase medicinal materials, so that no one will be blind enough to rob him of his money.

The nurse said yes, then stopped drying clothes and walked out of the yard to invite Chen Donglai.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing the uniform of the Jiang Mansion guard came in with the nurse and walked in front of Zhao Pingan.

"My cousin, what do you want?" Chen Donglai asked respectfully.

He did not neglect Zhao Pingan because he was young and a cousin. On the contrary, he thought Zhao Pingan was very important.

Zhao Pingan said, "I want to purchase a batch of medicinal materials. The medicinal materials are quite expensive. Please send two guards to go out with me."

"Yes, sir." Chen Donglai responded without hesitation.

Half an hour later, Zhao Pingan and the nurse went out in a carriage. In addition to sending two guards to follow, Chen Donglai also rode a horse to follow and protect them.

The purchase of alchemy medicinal materials was both smooth and not smooth.

The smooth thing was that Zhao Pingan bought the required alchemy medicinal materials without much effort, but the unsuccessful thing was that the alchemy medicinal materials were too expensive, so expensive that he smacked his lips.

He originally intended to buy one Baicao Dan medicinal material and one Qixue Dan medicinal material, but in the end, three hundred taels of silver were only enough to buy one Baicao Dan medicinal material, and the quality of the medicinal materials was not good.

Back to Jiang Mansion, Zhao Pingan asked the accompanying guards to move the medicinal materials into the alchemy room, and he immediately began to make the alchemy.

The nurse and Chen Donglai did not dare to leave, and watched Zhao Pingan making the alchemy closely, worried that Zhao Pingan was in danger.

Alchemy itself is dangerous, not to mention that Zhao Pingan is only a one-year-old child.

The two accompanying guards did not leave either. They stood outside the door and watched Zhao Ping'an making pills curiously.

Alchemy is a very noble skill.

Although Zhao Ping'an made pills for the first time, he was already very skilled and methodical.

Chen Donglai and the two guards were very surprised and could only sigh in admiration: a child prodigy is a child prodigy. It seems that he has made elixirs for many years from the beginning.

Almost an hour later, the alchemy furnace continued to emit a little elixir fragrance.

The elixir fragrance is a rich herbal fragrance, and one breath will make people refreshed.

Chen Donglai is familiar with this kind of elixir fragrance. He was extremely shocked: "Cousin, could it be that the elixir made by the young master is the Hundred Herb Pill?!"

"The Hundred Herb Pill is a low-grade elixir, and only a real alchemist can make it!"

"My young master is obviously making an elixir for the first time!!!!"

After another cup of tea, Zhao Ping'an opened the furnace to take out the pills, and got a total of eight Hundred Herb Pills.

Refining a furnace of elixir can get up to ten elixir pills, and the general yield is six. If the elixir fails, the medicinal materials will be destroyed and nothing will be gained, so the risk of refining elixir pills is quite high.

While Zhao Ping'an put the Hundred Herb Pills into the small jade bottle, he said to himself: "It's not that my elixir refining skills are not good, but the quality of the medicinal materials is too poor."

When Zhao Ping'an put away all the Hundred Herb Pills, Chen Donglai, who had recovered from the shock, couldn't help asking: "Young Master, is the elixir you refined the Hundred Herb Pill?"

The nurse and the two guards recovered from the shock and listened attentively.

"It is the Hundred Herb Pill." Zhao Ping'an nodded slightly.

"Young Master, you are really a god!" Chen Donglai shouted excitedly and worshipfully, almost kneeling down to Zhao Ping'an.

The nurse and the two guards were even more shocked. It turned out that Zhao Ping'an had refined the famous and very expensive Hundred Herb Pills!

Zhao Ping'an smiled and shook his head slightly, and asked Chen Donglai: "Since you know Baicao Dan, can you tell me how much can a Baicao Dan sell for?"

"A Baicao Dan sells for at least 100 taels of silver, and the better the quality, the higher it will be." Chen Donglai answered immediately.

Zhao Ping'an poured a Baicao Dan from the jade bottle and handed it over: "Can you help me see what quality this elixir is and how much silver it is worth?"

The same elixir is divided into four grades according to its quality: inferior, ordinary, superior and perfect (i.e., flawless quality).

The better the quality, the more effective the elixir is, the fewer impurities, the lighter the side effects, and of course the more expensive the price.

Generally speaking, the price of inferior quality is 20% lower than that of ordinary quality, the price of superior quality is 50% higher than that of ordinary quality, and the price of perfect quality is three times that of ordinary quality.

Chen Donglai bent down, respectfully stretched out his hands to receive the Baicao Dan, and then carefully identified it.

While Chen Donglai was appraising the Hundred Herb Pill, Zhao Pingan thought to himself: I spent three hundred taels to buy medicinal materials, and eight Hundred Herb Pills are worth at least eight hundred taels, making a net profit of five hundred taels. It is relatively easy to make money by refining pills.

At this time, Chen Donglai's voice came, full of shame and said: "Young Master, I am ashamed that I can't tell the quality of your Hundred Herb Pill. I have only taken inferior Hundred Herb Pills."

Then, he quickly said: "But, I feel that your Hundred Herb Pill is of very good quality, it is very likely to be of top quality, or even a top-quality one!"

"Really?" Zhao Pingan nodded slightly, and then said, "This Hundred Herb Pill is for you."

"Ah?" Chen Donglai thought he had heard it wrong.

This is the Hundred Herb Pill. The cheapest inferior Hundred Herb Pill costs one hundred taels of silver to buy. A Hundred Herb Pill that is very likely to be of top quality is worth at least one hundred and eighty taels of silver!

One hundred and eighty taels of silver!

Zhao Pingan smiled and said, "What? If you don't want it, give it back to me."

Chen Donglai quickly grabbed the Baicao Pill in his hand, then knelt down and said excitedly: "Thank you, young master, for the reward!"

"Don't be so excited, get up." Zhao Ping'an smiled and shook his head.

Then, he poured out another Baicao Pill to the nanny: "Nanny, I'll give you one too."

The nanny was so surprised that she even knelt down to thank her, but Zhao Ping'an immediately held her back and refused to let her kneel down: "It's just a Baicao Pill, you are my nanny."

"Thank you, Master, for the reward." The wet nurse was moved to tears.

Seeing that Chen Donglai and the wet nurse had received the Baicao Pill respectively, the two guards looked at Zhao Pingan eagerly, also eager to get the Baicao Pill as a reward.

It's a pity that Zhao Ping'an is not a money-spreading boy, and he won't give random rewards.

The two nursing homes only accompanied him on a trip to buy medicinal materials. They were not worth a Baicao Pill and had no value in winning over him.

Moreover, rewards are graded, and all rewards are almost equal to no rewards.

"It's all gone." He said aloud.

Chen Donglai bowed and said, "Yes."

Then, he turned around and left with the two nurses.

Although the two nursing homes were disappointed, they did not dare to ask for rewards, and they understood that they had not made any contribution.

"I'll invite you to Xinghua Tower for a drink tonight." Chen Donglai whispered to the two nurses.

The two nursing homes suddenly showed joy: "How dare you let Brother Chen spend money?"

Xinghualou is a famous restaurant, and you can get at least twenty or thirty taels of silver for a meal.

"Haha, I dare not spend money. This is my reward for you on behalf of the young master." Chen Donglai said with a generous smile.

Zhao Ping'an used him to buy alchemy materials today, and he will definitely use him when he goes out in the future. Although it is impossible to get Baicao Dan every time, he will definitely get rewards if he does it more often.

In less than an hour, the news that Zhao Ping'an had refined the Baicao Pill quickly spread throughout the Jiang Mansion.

When everyone heard the news, they thought it was spreading rumors and deified Zhao Ping'an too much.

A true alchemist is one who can refine a hundred-herb pill, but countless alchemy apprentices have been refining pills for a lifetime, and their hair has turned white, but they still cannot refine a furnace of hundred-herb pill.

Therefore, they simply did not believe that someone could make Baicao Pill as soon as they started learning alchemy, not to mention that Zhao Ping'an was only one year old, and other children had not yet been weaned.

Until the news reached Jiang Wen's ears, Jiang Wen was so surprised that he immediately went to Zhao Ping'an for confirmation, and then couldn't help but burst out into ecstatic laughter that filled the sky.

Although he was wondering in his heart that he was clearly given the recipe of "Baicao Liquid", why did Zhao Ping'an refine a higher grade Baicao Pill.

After confirming that Zhao Ping'an had actually refined the Baicao Pill, everyone was so shocked that they opened their mouths wide and couldn't close their mouths for a long time.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt came to Zhao Ping An in person to see with their own eyes the Baicao Pill that Zhao Ping An had made.

"Ping'an, you are so smart. You can learn anything immediately and learn it very well." The two aunts couldn't help but sigh, full of expectations for Zhao Ping'an's future.

That evening, Jiang Shuyue went home earlier than before.

When she saw Zhao Ping An, she couldn't wait to ask: "Ping An, have you really refined the Baicao Pill?"

"Mom, this is the elixir that my child has refined for the first time. I give it to you." Zhao Ping'an took out the small jade bottle containing the Herb Pill and presented it to Jiang Shuyue.

Jiang Shuyue took the small jade bottle moved, opened the cork, poured out a Baicao Pill and looked at it carefully.

The fragrance of the vegetation is astounding to the nostrils, and the smell of it refreshes the mind, and the fatigue of a hard day's work is immediately dispelled.

"It's really Baicao Dan! Moreover, the quality is top-notch!" Jiang Shuyue was so excited and joyful that she picked up Zhao Pingan and gave Zhao Pingan's pink and white face a "pop", "Mom, I'm very happy." Happy."

Of course, she was not happy because she got half a bottle of Baicao Dan. She was happy because Zhao Pingan became an alchemist and it was easy.

After putting Zhao Pingan down, Jiang Shuyue only kept one Baicao Pill and gave the rest to Zhao Pingan.

In the evening, the uncle, second uncle and other elders came over to congratulate Zhao Ping'an and Jiang Shuyue.

In just one night, the news that Zhao Ping'an had refined the Baicao Pill spread outside the Jiang Mansion.

In just two days, the news spread throughout the alchemy world of Baidi City, shocking all alchemists and alchemy apprentices.

After those alchemists who had rejected Zhao Pingan learned about it, they all secretly regretted that they had missed a good disciple and a golden leg in the future.

In just three days, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Baidi City, causing a sensation throughout the city and becoming a topic of discussion for countless people before and after tea.

Some people don't believe it, some people believe it, and some people are half-convinced. No matter how they argue, Zhao Pingan is already famous in Baidi City and is called a child prodigy.

The news also reached the Zhennan Hou Mansion.

Zhao Yingpeng was not in Zhennanhou Mansion, so the news could not reach his ears.

The old lady of the Zhennan Hou Mansion still had the same attitude as before, and snorted with disdain: "The Jiang family still doesn't give up, and they are trying to make excuses to build momentum for that scoundrel and want Ying Peng to pick up their mother and son back to the Hou Mansion. No way!"

After Su Yingluo put her two-month-old son to sleep, she heard the maid reporting that Zhao Pingan had refined the Baicao Pill, and she couldn't help but reveal a trace of worry on her eyebrows.

Seeing the lady who was as holy as a snow lotus showing worry, Qiu Shui, the eldest maid who was accompanying the bride, felt very distressed, so she suggested in a low voice: "Miss, do you want..."

As she spoke, her eyes showed strong murderous intent.

Su Yingluo pondered for a moment, then shook her head lightly: "No need for now, let's take a look."

"Miss, you are so kind." Qiu Shui sighed helplessly, "That evil should not exist in the world."
