The evil cultivation of immortality, starting from an apprentice in a medicine shop

In the backyard of the medicine shop, there is a side hall.

The incense from the lion-head incense burner rises and is refreshing.

Qiu Zhen has good knowledge and recognizes at a glance that the incense in the incense burner is high-quality sandalwood, which is calming and valuable.

On weekdays, most wealthy families are reluctant to use it, and they all take it out to entertain guests.

What a great scene!

Qiu Zhen looked at Manager Kang who was making tea at the table, and was secretly a little curious.

"Please!"

"Thank you, Manager!"

Qiu Zhen was a little flattered. I'm afraid that Manager Kang usually didn't entertain Manager Liu with such a big scene.

"Hehe~"

Manager Kang waved his hands repeatedly:

"Don't call me Manager, you are now a disciple of Medicine King Valley, and I am also a disciple of Medicine King Valley. You and I are brothers."

Qiu Zhen laughed secretly when he heard this.

In fact, what Manager Kang said was not wrong. Both of them were disciples of Medicine King Valley, but they had different tasks. Manager Kang would not be in charge of him in the future. They were considered "equal" and "fellow disciples" in name.

However, Manager Kang entered the sect much earlier than him, and was an old senior in the sect. Qiu Zhen also worked under him.

It was a bit inappropriate to call him "fellow disciples".

The main reason was that there was no real master-disciple relationship between them, so why did they call each other so close.

"Manager Kang, you are too polite."

Kang Zhuangyuan couldn't help sighing in his heart when he saw Qiu Zhen didn't call him "senior brother" but "Manager Kang". He secretly regretted what he had done a few days ago.

Because of those two things, the friendship of the past was gone in an instant.

Even the other party might secretly hate him because of this.

He had more power in the medicine shop than Qiu Zhen, and his martial arts skills were more profound than Qiu Zhen, but there was one thing he couldn't compare with, that was age.

One is a rising sun, making progress vigorously, while the other is a setting sun, getting old.

Ordinary martial artists are mortals after all. After the peak of their prime years, they will go downhill when they enter middle and old age. Not only will it be difficult for them to make progress in martial arts, but as their qi and blood decline, their martial arts will also decline, and they will no longer be as brave as they used to be.

That's why young people beat their masters to death with random punches.

He knew that Qiu Zhen became a martial artist after he went into the mountains to collect precious herbs, so he didn't think Qiu Zhen could become a congenital martial artist.

But even so, he didn't dare to underestimate Qiu Zhen.

Qiu Zhen didn't need to become a congenital martial artist. He could walk sideways in Qingmu Town by breaking through the "fourth level" and "five levels". With the connections of An Yaoshi's disciples, he would be able to succeed Manager Liu in the future with a certainty, and he would have no problem living a glorious life for decades.

But he went downhill.

He himself was not afraid of Qiu Zhen, but he had a large number of clansmen in Qingmu Town behind him, making a living under Qingmu Medicine Shop.

If Qiu Zhen becomes powerful in the future and makes things difficult for the Kang family, it will be enough for them to drink a pot and suffer heavy losses.

As for himself, there is no way he can give up his old face and apologize to the young man in front of him who used to work under him.

However, people in the world cannot help themselves.

He can ignore his personal gains and losses, but he can't ignore the interests of thousands of Kang family members, not for relatives and friends, but for future generations.

Today, he has to come to apologize, and he has to do it.

At this moment, he deeply felt the humiliation and helplessness of Qiu Zhen who had to admit "pointing red to black" under his oppression that day.

The situation is stronger than people, and you still have to bow your head when you should.

Thinking of this, Manager Kang took a deep breath and forced a smile on his slightly old face:

"A few days ago, I lost money and lost my mind. I acted violently and impatiently, without any sense of propriety and calm consideration. I have offended you, Brother Qiu. Today, I come to apologize to you. I hope you don't take it to heart."

After that, Manager Kang took out a stack of silver bills from his sleeve.

Qiu Zhen glanced at it casually and was slightly surprised.

Although there were only a dozen thin silver bills, they were not thick.

However, he had the supernatural power of the sky eye and amazing eyesight.

The silver bills on the table were Da Zhou Baochao worth a full 100 taels of silver. With silver bills, they could be redeemed at major silver banks and money houses, and they could also conduct large transactions on the market.

Qiu Zhen was surprised, but he was not surprised by the large number of silver bills, but was surprised that Manager Kang actually bowed his head to apologize to him.

Manager Kang was such a proud and conceited person. They were apprentices in the backyard of the medicine shop, and they knew everything.

"Uh"

Kang Zhuangyuan saw Qiu Zhen was stunned and thought Qiu Zhen was dissatisfied.

"Brother Qiu, you can ask for anything you want. Money is not a problem."

After Qiu Zhen was shocked, his mind turned quickly and he soon understood why Kang Guanshi, a tough old man, bowed his head to apologize and gave him silver notes.

The reason may be the Kang family. Many Kang family members rely on the business of Qingmu Medicine Shop for their livelihood.

Kang Guanshi was afraid that he would retaliate against the Kang family members in the future after he became powerful.

One thousand and two silvers was a considerable amount for him, but that was all. He would not affect his principles of future behavior for the sake of immediate interests.

"Kang Guanshi, take the silver notes back. I can't accept such a valuable gift from you without merit."

"This"

Kang Guanshi gritted his teeth and felt a little aggrieved, but he had apologized and it would be even more embarrassing if he withdrew it.

"There are too many people outside, I can't lose face, so I'll apologize to you here."

After saying that, Manager Kang was about to stand up, as if he was going to bow and apologize.

"Hey hey hey~"

Qiu Zhen quickly stood up and supported Manager Kang, and couldn't help sighing in his heart:

"Guanshi Kang, why do you have to do this!"

In any case, Manager Kang was actually pretty good to him on weekdays. His wages were not deducted and his work was not too onerous. He was considered to be taking care of him - although this was due to his own hard work and high craftsmanship.

If he hadn't "turned red into black" and hadn't suppressed him at the critical moment, he would have been very grateful to Manager Kang for taking care of him.

It's a pity that the opponent's vision is a bit low, and he doesn't recognize Lingyun Mu.

From now on, they are just ordinary colleagues, and their old friendship is gone.

After thinking about this, Qiu Zhen sighed and said:

"Manager Kang, I can't accept the banknote, but I have a favor and I want to ask you to help me with the matchmaking."

"Oh~"

Kang Zhuangyuan was a little embarrassed at first, but when he saw that even though Qiu Zhen had confiscated the banknote, he had asked for something and gave him a way to repair the relationship, things turned around. He suddenly felt happy and said quickly:

"Brother Qiu, if you want anything, just ask, I still have some respect in Qingmu Town."

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly, the Kang family was indeed a wealthy local family.

"The thing is, my hometown of Haitang Township is a bit remote after all. I plan to settle down in Qingmu Town in the future and bring my parents and elder brother over. However, I am suffering from the lack of a house and fertile land. I would also like to ask Manager Kang to help me keep an eye on which family I want to sell." Houses and fields, help make connections when necessary.”

"I see!"

Kang Zhuangyuan felt happy when he heard this. Although this matter was a small matter, if it was done, it would be a relationship and could greatly ease the relationship. It was no worse than sending money directly.

"It's easy to talk about. I will definitely keep an eye on it for you and let you know as soon as I have any news."

Qiu Zhen was in a good mood after coming out of the backyard of the drug store.

These days, land is the lifeblood of the people, and most people will not sell their land.

Anyone who dares to sell his land is a prodigal and will be stigmatized as unfilial.

Buying a house or land is not an easy task.

However, it was much easier for Guanshi Kang, a local cunning person, to help with the matchmaking than to do it alone.

Of course, what made Qiu Zhen even more emotional was that Manager Kang bowed down and apologized to him.

One cannot stay in a windless place for a long time.

Finally, the wind picked up.
