MTL - My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences-Chapter 1 Gain experience at the beginning
Dayue Dynasty, Pingnan City.
The scorching sun is in the sky, and the sky is full of corpse energy.
In the cramped Santiao Alley, people squatted in the corner, skinny and ragged, fluttering in the wind.
On the right side of the alley, there is a ditch running in the same direction. The thick water of rotting corpses and the turbid yellow water are mixed together. There are also several open-air toilets with a pungent smell around them. The mixture of several phases makes the smell of the alley even more difficult. smell.
But no one cared, they scooped water to cook rice, wash their bodies, and clean farm tools carelessly...
There was a small man in the crowd, with dark skin, shirtless, his lower body was surrounded by a short brown cloth made of burlap, and he wore a pair of straw sandals. The only difference between him and the people around him is that his eyes are bright and piercing.
Qin Huai tried to reduce his breathing.
Although it's been half a month, he still can't accept the smell.
Not to mention being hypocritical, it was the stench that made his body strongly resist.
At the end of the alley, there was a notice for recruiting apprentices in front of the Liu Family Pharmacy.
Changlong Street is full of people vying for the first place.
Qin Huai licked the chapped corner of his mouth, feeling a little restless.
"I have been in this world for more than half a month, and I finally found a family."
I am a time traveler, and in my previous life I was a social animal who just graduated from university.
The boss painted a big cake and said, "I promise to become a regular after the completion of this project", and asked Qin Huai to work overtime for 29 consecutive days. On the day of becoming a regular, I was relieved, and then I came here.
This world is respected by martial arts, there are monsters running rampant, and there are many powerful people.
People who cannot practice martial arts are like duckweed, and their lives are worthless.
I am a refugee who came to Pingnan City because of the disaster caused by demons.
On the way to escape, I saw too many tragedies in the world where children were robbed and eaten, and families were destroyed because of lack of strength.
Let Qin Huai insist that he must practice martial arts in order to live well in this world.
It just so happened that this Liu Family Pharmacy was recruiting apprentices, and there was a chance to learn exercises without registration fee.
This made the registration team line up for a long street.
Qin Huai also came to try his luck.
"There are thirty or forty people in front, and they didn't pay attention..."
"Is the shopkeeper of the Liu family drugstore picking his son-in-law?"
Everyone was restless.
Qin Huai was also worried.
Those martial arts gyms in Pingnan City where you can learn martial arts cost tens of taels of silver just for the registration fee.
A refugee like him simply cannot afford the money.
This pharmacy accepts apprentices, and you can learn martial arts without charging... Could it be because of some special talent?
The line finally came to the end, and in front of me was a young girl with a mature look.
"Do you have any specialties?" The girl raised her eyes, this guy washed his face and changed his clothes... he doesn't look bad.
"Does literacy count?" Qin Huai was serious.
The characters in this world are almost the same as Chinese characters, so Qin Huai, who has gone through nine years of compulsory education, is very confident.
Especially in this world where per capita prenatal education does not go to school, literate people are a complete dimensionality reduction blow to others.
Except for the town where I fled...
It doesn't matter whether you can read or write there, as long as you can contribute.
Therefore, Qin Huai, who couldn't find a chance to make use of it, achieved nothing in the first half month.
"Oh?" The girl was surprised, took out a medicine book, put it in front of Qin Huai, and nodded.
"Angelica, wolfberry, ginseng, snake gall, gamboge, star anise..." Qin Huai flipped through the catalog and read out the names wherever the girl's fingers pointed.
Qinhuai already has seven or eight points of confidence, and Pingnan City is worthy of being a big city.
"You really know how to read!" The girl was shocked, and the smile on her face instantly brightened.
The crowd behind him couldn't believe it, and they looked at Qin Huai who was dressed almost the same as them in surprise.
"No more queuing, the apprentices are full!" the girl shouted at the top of her voice.
The people behind dispersed faster than the girl yelled, and when they heard that Qin Huai was literate, they scattered cursing and swearing.
"No matter which world you go to, it's good to be literate."
Seeing how easily he stood out from the crowd, Qin Huai couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
…
The girl took the three recruited apprentices to the backyard.
The middle-aged man with a goatee was slender, with an elegant face, wearing a gray and black vertically striped robe, sitting at a stone table and sipping tea.
This is Liu Changyue, the owner of the Liu Family Pharmacy.
"From now on, the three of you will be apprentices in my pharmacy. You usually follow me to memorize some prescriptions, buy medicinal materials, clean the pharmacy and other chores."
"If you learn well, I'll teach you a kung fu." Liu Changyue rolled up her sleeves, and the work and cakes were all ready.
The three of Qin Huai were all refreshed. The reason why there was such a long queue in front of the medicine shop was that the exercises were taught here, and it didn't cost money.
"How can you be considered a good student?" Gao Cheng, who was the first to come, was curious.
"There are two types of apprentices in our pharmacy, chore apprentices and internal affairs apprentices." The girl walked up to the three of them and introduced.
"A miscellaneous apprentice. On weekdays, he does a series of miscellaneous tasks such as grinding medicine, buying meat, transporting medicinal materials, and collecting medicinal herbs in the mountains. He has two meals a day and includes food and lodging, but he has no wages. After two years, he will be transferred to a housekeeping apprentice."
"A housekeeping apprentice, refining medicine, writing prescriptions in the front hall, and treating patients, three meals a day, half a catty of meat, five hundred cash per month, can learn the Qigong of the pharmacy."
The three listened carefully and nodded frequently.
"Then... is there a way to quickly be promoted to the internal affairs apprentice?" Gao Cheng smiled flatteringly, two years is too long.
"Yes, if you can learn to distinguish medicines in a few months, understand the medicinal properties of more than fifty kinds of medicinal materials, and formulate ten kinds of prescriptions that have at least three kinds of medicinal materials that are different from the medicine shop prescriptions, but the effect is almost the same, you can be promoted."
Gao Chengguang felt a headache just hearing this long list of requests.
Qin Huai is similar, but there is no other way out now, so he can only wait for a while.
"The school is tested once a week. If the result of the school test is not satisfactory, I will expel him from the pharmacy."
"Don't be lazy, work hard."
Liu Changyue explained a few more words, and the three of them became teachers.
There are no rules for Liu Changyue's apprenticeship here.
The three of them offered tea in turn according to the order in which they were recruited, and they were regarded as apprentices.
Qin Huai is a junior.
The girl who was shorter than Qin Huai was Liu Xiaomei, the master's only daughter, and the elder sister of the three of them.
After apprenticeship, the three were taken to the backyard and divided into residences.
The courtyard of the Liu family drug store is huge, with a full two thousand square meters, and there are five medicinal material rooms alone.
The three of Qin Huai are not all the apprentices in the pharmacy, and the pharmacy accepts apprentices every other month.
The people living in the backyard, Qin Huai saw that there were about thirty or forty people in the beds. As for how many housekeeping apprentices and miscellaneous apprenticeships there were, it was not known.
…
Early the next morning.
The three of Qin Huai changed into short brown suits with the word "Willow" embroidered on their chests, and a pair of long trousers.
After half a month in this world, Qin Huai also got his first pair of pants.
"I finally have pants." Qin Huai sighed.
There is no feeling of wind and rain pouring in from below, so I feel very at ease.
Then he was called to the pharmacy.
In the pharmacy, more than a dozen teenagers dressed in the same style have already started to work in full swing. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
The small wooden stick hit the wooden bowl, and the sound of rattling echoed in the pharmacy.
"Grind all these Danshen into powder like this." The tall man pointed to the medicine jar next to him.
"Twenty cans per person."
Qin Huai glanced at the fist-sized brown earthen jar, but didn't speak.
He rolled up his sleeves and started grinding silently.
As soon as he hammered it twice, Qin Huai saw a white ball of light falling from Gao Cheng's body beside him.
Qin Huai shook his head and rubbed his eyes vigorously.
You read that right, it is indeed a light cluster.
And others don't seem to see it.
He stretched out his hand towards the white light ball, and the light ball flew over by itself.
"Ding! You have collected a [Pharmacy Essence (White)], [Pharmacy] EXP +1"
Qin Huai's eyes went dark, and something more appeared in his mind.
"Salvia miltiorrhiza, the root is used as medicine, it has the effects of removing blood stasis, regenerating, invigorating blood, and regulating menstruation..." Qin Huai muttered silently in his heart.
This is the medicinal part of Salvia miltiorrhiza and some effects.
With the growth of experience, it appeared in my mind.
"This experience value is not a vague number or a progress bar, but practical knowledge. When I have accumulated all the experience points, it also means that my medicine skills have indeed reached a certain level step by step."
The next moment, a panel appeared in front of Qin Huai's eyes.
[Name]: Qin Huai
[Cultivation method]: none
[Skill]: [Pharmacy (unlearned, 1/100)]
[Boundary]: None
Goldfinger is finally here.
Qin Huai looked at the personal panel in front of him and was overjoyed.
While thinking, white light **** began to fall from the bodies of other people around.
