Even though Luo Chen pursued Lu Huaiben in broad daylight.
But at the time, his face was covered by a four-colored tassel on top of a large cauldron, so most of the rogue cultivators in the Outer City didn’t recognize the real wind-chaser.
For the time being, this matter can be kept a secret.
After all, the true Ninth Level Qi Refinement perpetrator has not been caught yet, it would be embarrassing to spread the word.
At this moment, not only Gu Caiyi, but also the couple Qin Liangchen, and Feng
Xia and Bai Meiling, were all looking at Luo Chen.
Concern, surprise, curiosity, a variety of emotions, more than one could count.
Luo Chen gave a wry smile, “Yeah, it seems like everyone has been having a hard time recently.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Xia’s expression darkened.
Luo Chen was attacked, Duan Feng was injured, and even her livelihood had
been taken away.
Inexplicably, everyone in the courtyard has indeed experienced a run of bad luck lately.
-Are you okay then?” Gu Caiyi looked at Luo Chen, hesitating slightly.
Luo Chen was of course fine, he casually laughed off the matter.
He didn’t want to go into too much detail, so as to prevent everyone from worrying.
Murong Qinglian, seeing this, suggested that everyone should have dinner together and she would cook.
Everyone agreed without hesitation.
Soon, with everyone’s joint efforts, a lavish dinner was served at the Qin
Family’s residence.
At the dinner table, Bai Meiling mentioned how arrogant the new Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the Hundred Herbs Pavilion was, not only firing old employees but also planning to cut others’ salaries.
Qin Liangchen also fiercely criticized Mi Shuhua, accusing him of neglecting
Luo Chen and only assigning two people to protect him.
Murong Qinglian seriously asked Feng Xia about her future plans.
“If you can’t manage, come and work at the Medicine Hall!
“You are very familiar with various medicinal herbs, and with my recommendation, the Medicine Hall will definitely give you a basic salary.”
Feng Xia was about to agree without much hesitation,
But at the critical moment, she was stopped by Luo Chen.
“I plan to start a small business and need someone careful and trustworthy to manage it. And it’s best if they’re not from the Broken Mountain Gang.”
“Sister Xia would be perfect, why not come and help me?
■■And to be honest, the treatment the Broken Mountain Gang gives to its cultivators is generally low. Sister Xia working at the Medicine Hall would be an underutilization of her talents.”
He made his case very well.
To be careful, trustworthy, and the icing on the cake, an underutilization of talents.
Especially in his words, it was clear that he would provide a good treatment.
Feng Xia was instantly swayed.
Not just her, the others were also curious about Luo Chen’s new business venture.
They all knew about Chen Yue’s snack stand, which earns quite a decent income every month.
It hasn’t been long, and Luo Chen has come up with a new business?
Luo Chen didn’t beat around the bush and just spoke up.
“Milk tea?”
“Is this the milk tea you were talking about?”
The next day in the courtyard, in addition to the bitter smell of medicine, there was also a strong scent of milk and a faint scent of tea.
There were only three people in the yard, Luo Chen, Feng Xia, and Qin
Liangchen, who had nothing to do.
“Yes, have a taste! And give me some feedback so I can improve the recipe.”
“Sure, it shouldn’t kill me.”
Qin Liangchen took a sip of his milk tea with a smile, then frowned.
“The taste is strange, too strong.”
“Too strong?”
“Right, you used milk from a cow beast, didn’t you? It smells very sweet, but people usually don’t drink it.
After listening to his evaluation, Luo Chen thought for a moment, then started scribbling in a notebook.
Soon, an improved formula was freshly out of the oven.
Following the new formula, Luo Chen asked Dong Fangliang to come over and buy some more beast milk.
However, in the courtyard, he also tried to use various herbal medicines to neutralize the strong smell of the beast milk, but the effect was always not good, making Qin Liangchen, who was tasting it, change from looking enthusiastic at first to gradually turning green.
“Try again, this time I used milk from the Fu Zhu Deer, the taste is definitely much better.”
Before handing over the cup, Luo Chen heated the milk tea a little with a weak fireball.
Qin Liangchen took a deep breath, drank the newly prepared milk tea.
After drinking it, his face turned weird.
“This milk, didn’t you dilute it?”
Luo Chen explained from the side: “The Fu Zhu Deer is the most docile among First Order Demonic Beasts, but the taste of its milk is too mild. Also, I wanted to use the deer milk’s reputation, so I kept some of the original flavor, and used less herbal medicine. Spirit tea is too expensive, to save cost, I used less of it as well.”
Qin Liangchen’s eyebrows furrowed into a frown, he asked softly: “Did you do this on purpose, or by accident?”
Luo Chen puffed up his chest, said proudly: “On purpose, how is it, tasty right?” “Damn it, don’t you know that undiluted deer milk, even a cultivator can’t stand it?”
After saying that, he flew away on his sword, heading straight out of the courtyard!
Luo Chen was confused, what’s going on?
Feng Xia stood by with a strange expression, “The Fu Zhu Deer feeds on the
Fan Hui Grass, which is mainly used as a strong laxative, too potent for any Qi Refinement Cultivator to suppress. The milk from a Fu Zhu Deer that has long consumed Fan Hui Grass, naturally has a laxative effect.
Luo Chen’s mouth went slightly agape as he looked blankly at the cup of milk tea in his hand.
It seemed the road to a new milk tea formula was still long!
When Qin Liangchen returned to the yard with a look of relief, his face changed instantly upon seeing another cup of milk tea Luo Chen handed him.
“Brother, have some tea!”
“Get out!”
