27　　Chen Jie walked in: "Master, Uncle Zhong, Brother Hong, good morning."

　　The three of them nodded, and Wu Hong stood up and said, "Jiu Si, you haven't eaten yet, come, sit down and eat together."

　　Bai said, "I'll go get a set of bowls and chopsticks."

　　"No, I've eaten."

　　Chen Jie said politely. Doctor Bai glanced at him and said, "Eat if I tell you to. You must be obedient as an apprentice."

　　"Hey, listen to Master."

　　Chen Jie was very sensible, and Doctor Bai nodded.

　　After sitting down, everyone started to eat in silence. Bai wanted to ask Chen Jie about what happened yesterday, but was stopped by Wu Zhong.

　　This help also depends on the situation.

　　When someone asks you for help, you help them, that is a favor.

　　If you help someone even if they don't ask you for help, and you encounter someone who is psychologically fragile, they may feel that you are humiliating them, and you may even help them to create hatred.

　　Although Chen Jiusi and his family are very optimistic about it, after all, they have only known each other for two days, so there are still some things that they need to pay attention to.

　　After dinner, Bai was clearing the table. Chen Jie wanted to help but was refused.

　　"Don't you have something to ask your master? Go ahead and do your thing. I can do it myself."

　　Doctor Bai also asked, "Jiu Si, what do you want to see me about so early in the morning?"

　　Chen Jie thought about it and was about to speak, but Doctor Bai said to Wu Zhong, "Come to my room and talk."

　　Entering Doctor Bai's room, the smell of medicinal herbs hits you in the face. Wu Hong also comes in. A group of people are sitting there. The father and his two sons look at each other, waiting for Chen to explain his story.

　　However, Chen Jie did not mention the incident with Ma Liu. Instead, he said to Doctor Bai, "Master, I caught a golden pheasant in the mountains today. It looks very strange. Take a look and see if it is a rare species."

　　"golden pheasant?"

　　The three of them were stunned, and then looked at Chen Jie's sack.

　　Chen Jie opened the sack, and the three people's eyes lit up immediately. Wu Zhong even jumped up and said, "Red-eyed pheasant!"

　　Doctor Bai was also a little excited at this time. He went over and touched the red-eyed golden pheasant and said, "This is probably thirty years old. It is considered a natural treasure."

　　After hearing this, Wu Hong on the side said: "Haha, brother, you've made a fortune. This is a treasure, something that a warrior cannot buy even if he has money."

　　Seeing the reactions of the three people and listening to Wu Hong's words, Chen Jie thought to himself, as expected, I guessed right, this is truly a treasure from heaven.

　　Doctor Bai looked at it for a while and said to Chen Jie, "Jiu Si, I have to say you are really lucky. This is one of the thirty-six heavenly materials and seventy-two earthly treasures of the Daba Mountains. Although it is a little old, it is very valuable."

　　"The flesh and blood of this red-eyed pheasant can be used as a tonic for warriors, and is very valuable. Its beautiful feathers can also be made into ornaments, and are also very expensive."

　　"This red-eyed golden pheasant is worth at least a hundred taels of silver, and there is still no demand for it."

　　One hundred taels!

　　Chen Jie's heart was beating fast, and Wu Zhong beside him said, "Nine-four!"

　　"Uncle Zhong!"

　　Chen Jie looked at Wu Zhong, and Wu Zhong said, "Would you like to sell this golden pheasant? I just need it. How about I give you 120 taels and you sell it to me?"

　　"Of course, if you don't trust me, just go and ask about the price and come back and give me the answer."

　　Upon hearing this, Chen Jie hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhong, what are you talking about?"

　　"Well, Uncle Zhong, I'll give you this golden pheasant."

　　"this..."

　　Wu Zhong wanted to refuse immediately after hearing this, but Chen Jie said, "Uncle Zhong, don't refuse yet. Actually, I'm in trouble and I want to ask you for a favor. This is my thank you gift."

　　After hearing this, Wu Zhong narrowed his eyes and said, "Whatever it is, I will definitely help if I can."

　　"It's like this, back then I..."

　　Chen Jie told the whole story from beginning to end. After Wu Zhong and the other two finished listening, Wu Hong slammed the table.

　　"This is too much! You have two purposes. Don't worry about this matter, brother. I will help you!"

　　"Don't be impulsive, sit down."

　　Wu Zhong frowned slightly, then looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, your matter is a small matter. I will help you settle it, but I can't accept this golden pheasant. You have to pay the price. Otherwise, your uncle will be a big favor to you. You have to think about your uncle, right?"

Chapter 37: Standing Out

　　Finally, Chen Jie sold the golden pheasant to Wu Zhong, who was competing with Yu Biao for the position of the chief of Xiantao Town.

　　Both sides are making their final attack.

　　However, Yu Biao's strength is weaker than Wu Zhong's. Yu Biao is at the peak of the Mopi realm and the middle stage of Mingjin.

　　He is currently searching for rare treasures in order to break through the Skin Grinding Stage and enter the Flesh Refining Stage.

　　Wu Zhong was originally in the flesh realm, and he had been trying to break through the flesh barrier for many years.

　　But since he became the manager of the fish pen, his life became comfortable. He himself did not like fighting, so he was not very interested in practicing martial arts, and this period of time lasted for nearly ten years.

　　Look at him now, he has fat on his belly and the muscles on his arms are no longer tight. It is obvious that his strength has declined. It is difficult for him to improve his strength on his own in a short period of time.

　　Fortunately, Doctor Bai has a prescription that can help Wu Zhong consolidate and improve his strength, but it is a bit time-consuming.

　　And this red-eyed pheasant was like timely help, just enough to warm his body.

　　That's why Wu Zhong was so eager to buy it.

　　Chen Jie sold the golden pheasant to Wu Zhong, but he did not ask for money. Instead, he exchanged the recipe for the medicinal bath with Doctor Bai.

　　Doctor Bai used to be the chief physician of the fishing gang. This chief physician was not an ordinary person as he not only had to be able to treat common diseases, but also had to understand the pharmacology that could assist in cultivation.

　　Therefore, they all have a set of prescriptions to assist in their practice.

　　If you use prescriptions to assist in your practice, you can make great progress every day.

　　Doctor Bai has a set of such prescriptions in his hands.

　　Chen Jie hopes that Doctor Bai can help him prepare some medicine that can help him break through the skin grinding stage and help him improve in martial arts.

　　Doctor Bai did not refuse. He nodded and agreed, and promised Chen Jie that he would exchange all of his 120 taels for medicines to assist him in his cultivation.

　　Chen Jie understood that Doctor Bai would not make any money from this, and his one hundred and twenty taels would definitely become medicine to assist him in his cultivation.

　　He also understood that the medicines bought by Doctor Bai were definitely much better than those he bought himself, both in terms of price and quality.

　　It can be said that letting Doctor Bai prescribe medicine for you is absolutely a huge profit.

　　And don't forget, Doctor Bai also has to give away a prescription for a skin-grinding realm-assisting medicine. If this prescription is sold in the city, it would be worth at least three or five taels of silver.

　　Doctor Bai would not ask me for money, and would even help me prepare the most suitable medicine.

　　I made a lot of money.

　　After the deal was done, Wu Zhong left. He was going to help Chen Jie Ping with his problems today.

　　Chen Jie stayed, and Doctor Bai asked him to continue identifying Chinese medicines and copying medical classics, but he also left him time to learn martial arts. It was just right that Wu Hong was at home, so he could help and give him some pointers, as Wu Hong was still very powerful.

　　Under Wu Hong's guidance, Chen Jie gained a deeper understanding of Taizu Changquan.

　　Doctor Bai went back to his room to make a prescription. He had promised Chen Jie 120 taels of auxiliary medicine, and he had to implement it seriously.

　　Chen Jie studied hard and practiced martial arts. As for preparing medicine, it was not his turn to worry about it for the time being.

　　With Doctor Bai watching over it, he will definitely not do any harm to you.

　　Chen Jie had his own considerations for wanting auxiliary medicine instead of the 120 taels of silver.

　　First, if he took the money, it would make him appear mercenary and greedy. Chen Jie didn't want to leave such an impression on them since they had just met.

　　Secondly, practicing martial arts is his most important choice now. No matter what he does in this world, it will not work without the backing of force.

　　Letting Doctor Bai prescribe the medicine can maximize profits.

　　It can also leave a good impression, so why not?

　　Chen Jie stayed at Doctor Bai's house all day.

　　After Wu Zhong left home, he went directly to the fish market and called a few of his younger brothers, and went straight to Yu Jiabao's bureau. His aggressive attitude scared many people.

　　When Wu Zhong stepped into Yu Jiabao's bureau, Yu Sanliu, who was in charge of looking after the place, immediately came out to greet him with a smile on his face.

　　"Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong, hahaha...what brings you here?"

　　Wu Zhong glanced at Yu Sanliu and said, "Sanliu, you have become successful now and can manage a place. I have nothing to do today, so let's go for a gamble."

　　At this point, Wu Zhong leaned over to Yu Sanliu's ear and asked, "Do you put mercury in your dice?"

　　Yu Sanliu's face changed, and then Wu Zhong shouted, "Come on, I'll do two."

　　"Uncle, uncle, my dear uncle, there is no one like you who would mess things up. Aren't you embarrassing your nephew?"

　　Yu Sanliu stopped him immediately.

　　Wu Zhong immediately frowned and said, "Hey, you are running a luxury game, I am a guest here, it's inappropriate for you to stop me, isn't it, nephew?"

　　Yu Sanliu was almost crying. He couldn't afford to offend this great god. But if he was asked to gamble, he would be killed. He even knew that his dice were filled with mercury.

　　Just when Yu Sanliu was at a loss, a voice rang out: "Haha... Old Wu, why are you making things difficult for a child? If you want to gamble, I'll play with you."

　　At this time, a burly man walked in from the door. The man looked younger than Wu Zhong, and was strong and powerful, with eyes as bright as lightning.

　　Wu Zhong smiled and said, "Okay, if you are interested, please let me accompany you."

　　When the two men appeared, the people around them consciously made way and gave the way to these two most powerful men in Xiantao Town.

　　Yu Biao came over and asked Yu Sanliu to step back, then looked at Wu Zhong and said, "Old Wu, are you planning to win or lose this time?"

　　Wu Zhong smiled and said, "Of course I came here to win money."
