Is This A Beauty Pageant?

Song Ankang liked to plan before taking action, not to mention opening a new path for the entire Chaoyun Manor.

The host body had a lot of knowledge about the refinement of medicinal herbs in her memory. In addition, Jiang Yunhe had specially brought him books on this aspect.

Even though he had never actually done it, Song Ankang knew the basics of refining medicinal herbs like the back of his hand.

Song Ankang was even more than 80% confident that he could refine a ninth-grade low-grade pill alone without the guidance of his teacher.

Song Ankang was confident that he could even refine pills, let alone some basic herbs.

That was why Song Ankang dared to sign such an agreement with the head shopkeeper of Huachun Hall.

The reason why Song Ankang was so confident was that, apart from the host body's extraordinary memory and comprehension, the most important thing was that after this period of training, his mental will had improved greatly, far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Everyone knew that in order to become an alchemist, the most important thing was to have a strong spirit, followed by dexterity.

After fusing with the host body's soul and spirit, as well as the spirit brought about by the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra' absorption of side effects, it was impossible for Song Ankang's mental strength not to be strong.

Even Jiang Yunhe, who was once extremely powerful, could not compare to Song Ankang in terms of mental strength.

Therefore, ordinary people thought that it was extremely difficult to refine medicinal pills. There were not many alchemists in the huge Huachun Hall, but it was a piece of cake for Song Ankang to become an alchemist.

Moreover, alchemists had a high status in the human race. They were similar to scientists on Earth, and they were scientists with astonishing earning ability.

Even an alchemist who could only refine low-level ninth-grade pills had a status comparable to tens of thousands of middle and high-level professionals on Earth.

If Song Ankang revealed the strength of a low-level ninth-grade alchemist, many of the upper echelons of the Tang family would look at him in a different light.

However, no matter how high a low-level ninth-grade alchemist's status was, he could not compare to a first-rate martial artist in the Earth Gate Realm. He could barely compare to a second-rate martial artist in the third minor realm of Internal Realm.

At this moment, Song Ankang's combat strength was not inferior to a martial artist at the fourth level of Internal Refinement. His cultivation path was far more promising than alchemy.

Naturally, Song Ankang would not give up on the bright path of cultivation and choose to refine pills.

Even if he spent time and effort on refining medicinal herbs and alchemy, it was also for his own cultivation.

In the next two days, Song Ankang easily processed several basic medicinal herbs with the help of the tools and utensils he had bought from Huachun Hall. Even though he encountered some small problems during this period, it was not difficult to solve them.

At this moment, Wang Yuliang and Hao Jiyong had also chosen ten skilled tenants and let them be the first batch to learn from Song Ankang.

Under the pavilion in Chaoyun Courtyard.

The corners of Song Ankang's mouth twitched as he looked at the ten tenants selected by Wang Yuliang and Hao Jiyong.

The ten tenants in front of him were all in their teens. All of them were good-looking girls. The worst one could score above 60 points, and the best one probably scored 90 points.

Song Ankang wanted to choose some good seedlings who could master the medicinal herbs in the shortest time possible, not some beauty pageant in Chaoyun Manor. What were Wang Yuliang and Hao Jiyong doing?

At the side, Qiu Shi's expression was also a little strange, but he did not say anything. There was no dissatisfaction on his exquisite face.

"I want ten skilled and intelligent seedlings, not maids." Song Ankang looked at Wang Yuliang and Hao Jiyong with an unhappy expression.

Wang Yuliang smiled and said, "Manor Lord, you've misunderstood. They're the ten good seedlings that we've carefully selected. All of them are clever and intelligent. Manor Lord, you must never judge a book by its cover."

"Uh…" Song Ankang looked like he didn't want to lie to me. "Really?"

Hao Jiyong nodded repeatedly. "Absolutely. If you don't believe me, you can teach them well. If any of them can't meet your requirements, you can immediately chase them out."

"In that case, stay." Seeing that even the simple and kind Hao Jiyong said so, Song Ankang was relieved and took the ten girls to the nearby processing workshop.

The processing workshop was a courtyard specially vacated by Song Ankang for processing medicinal herbs. It occupied more than a thousand square meters and had been planned.

Seeing Song Ankang leave with ten beautiful girls, Wang Yuliang and Hao Jiyong looked at each other and smiled.

They did not lie to Song Ankang. These ten good-looking girls were indeed agile and smart, but they were not the best.

When the two of them told everyone about Song Ankang's request, more than a thousand tenants in Chaoyun Manor went crazy. Everyone could not wait to register and earn this considerable additional income so that they could survive this year's difficulties.

After Wang Yuliang and Hao Jiyong carefully selected dozens of good seedlings, most of them were teenagers.

However, after some consideration, the two of them decisively chose ten of the more good-looking girls instead of the ten with the best results.

There was no other reason. Manor Lord Song was a man. Even though he didn't have any dirty thoughts, he should prefer teaching some young and beautiful girls than teaching men.

It was a cheap choice, and the girls were more careful. Song Ankang would not be too harsh when teaching. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Wang Yuliang and Hao Jiyong had no intention of pimping. Both of them knew very well that not to mention the beautiful and devastatingly beautiful young lady, just a maidservant, Qiu Shi, could beat up any girl in Chaoyun Manor.

Under such circumstances, it was basically impossible for Song Ankang to do anything to these ten girls. Of course, even if he did, the other party might be willing. This way, he would be able to curry favor with the high-ranking manor master.

Even the chambermaid, Qiu Shi, had no other thoughts. There was no other reason. Qiu Shi believed in Song Ankang.

She was so beautiful, and she was Song Ankang's chambermaid. If Song Ankang wanted her, he could have her at any time.

However, under such circumstances, Song Ankang was still able to endure it and did not do anything unspeakable to her. He was very confident in Song Ankang's character.

Therefore, after seeing Song Ankang bring ten beautiful girls to teach, she skipped towards the kitchen, preparing to make a sumptuous lunch for her young master.

The young master was going to teach the ten girls next. He would definitely be especially tired. They had to nourish themselves at noon.
