Chapter 538: No Cure

"Sir, you are so talented. Please stay in the City Lord's Mansion for the next three days so that you can follow up on the progress of collecting spiritual medicines." Hong Yongshou suddenly said.

It was not easy to find a doctor who learned the art of prolonging life. He didn't want Chen Wei to leave at the critical moment.

"Okay, I wonder if there are any external alchemy books in the Hong Mansion?"

Chen Wei did not refuse Hong Yongshou's invitation, but instead thought about the medical books collected by the Hong Mansion.

"There are many alchemy books collected in the Hong Mansion. There are three volumes of the monarch-level external alchemy books and one volume of the inner alchemy books, but there are only five volumes of the gold, jade and stone books.

Since you are interested in the alchemy books, Yongshou, you can take you to the Qilin Pavilion to take a look, and then have a long talk together later."

Hong Taining's voice was easy-going, and he didn't even put on the airs of a city lord.

He saw clearly that the alchemy books were just external objects. As long as he could prolong his life for a hundred years and successfully break through to the ghost emperor realm, it would not be a problem to go to Chunji Mansion to buy an emperor-level alchemy book as a treasure for the family.

…

Qilin Pavilion is a luxuriously decorated and spacious study room, with rows of bookshelves filled with books arranged in an orderly manner.

On the high platform at the center of the bookshelf, eight volumes of golden ancient books appear particularly dazzling under the light of fluorite.

"Enough, so many Danjing medical books are enough for me to improve the Dayou Dan recipe and develop elixirs to improve the bloodline of dragon pets!"

Chen Wei's eyes lit up slightly, ignoring the guards in the hidden corners of Qilin Pavilion, and his eyes fell on the first ancient book called [Danjing Zhenjie].

"Danjing Zhenjie includes three famous articles, [Dandao Faling], [Xingxue Tongyou] and [Fuqi Danhui], which explain the wonderful use of fire in alchemy and the harmlessness of Fuqi." Hong Yongshou introduced proudly.

In order to obtain this precious Danjing Zhenjie, he paid a great favor.

"Yes, it's a rare good book. I want to read it quietly." Chen Wei picked up the true interpretation of the Danjing and flipped through it, indicating that he didn't need to accompany him.

Hong Yongshou hesitated. He understood what Chen Wei meant, but these Danjing were his lifeblood and could not be damaged in the slightest.

Seeing Chen Wei's face turn slightly cold, Hong Yongshou hesitated for a moment, and finally left Qilin Pavilion reluctantly.

The moment Hong Yongshou left the door, Chen Wei could feel that the sense of being watched disappeared.

For the sake of caution, he also activated the delusion-breaking spiritual eyes and scanned the Qilin Pavilion before he felt relieved.

"It's your turn to perform, Taotie."

As Chen Wei's voice fell, the mechanical arm guard on his hand suddenly deformed, and a shiny mechanical chip floated in the air.

At the same time, ancient books began to flip quickly under the action of mechanical source power.

"Scanning the records, it is estimated that it will take three hours to complete the records."

...

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A crisp knock on the door brought Chen Wei back to his senses from the vast sea of ​​books, and Taotie successfully recorded all the medical books in Qilin Pavilion.

Chen Wei: "Please come in."

The door opened, and the person who came was Hong Yongshou who had been waiting outside the door.

Seeing that there were no major changes or omissions in the ancient books in Qilin Pavilion, he was relieved and invited: "Sir, the banquet is ready, the old man invites you to the banquet."

In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Wei finally saw the absurdity of the big shots.

Apart from other things, there were dozens of beauties participating in this banquet, among which only three legitimate daughters of the Hong family were qualified to sit at the table, and the other concubines could only work as maids on the side, and could not even say a word.

During the banquet, Hong Taining not only talked about the anecdotes in Chunji Mansion, but also recommended the girls waiting to be married in Hong Mansion, which made Chen Wei speechless and almost moved.

In Dayou, ghost nobles like the Hong family would marry off their legitimate daughters with a large number of maids.

Most of these maids were related to the legitimate daughters, either sisters or cousins.

Although their bloodline was low, it was also quite pure, and it was easy for them to give birth to pure ghost children for the master family after marriage. This was also the reason why blood transformation disease was common between commoners and nobles.

Some concubines could also use this opportunity to gain status as equal wives.

For example, City Lord Hong, although he only married three wives, he had hundreds of concubines in his harem, and even thousands of direct descendants, which was outrageous.

As he drank more and more wine, Hong Taining tried many times in his words. As long as Chen Wei nodded, he could give him a wife and hundreds of maids to marry with him. Even a ghost emperor pill was not out of the question.

"That's a nice thought." Chen Wei politely declined, looking at Hong Taining, who was pretending to be drunk.

As an alchemist, no one knew the difficulty and scarcity of longevity better than him, not to mention that compared with other forces, the Hong family's boat was too small, so small that it couldn't even help him return home.

"General Huang wants to see the city lord for something!"

The banquet was just halfway through when the butler bowed his head and said to Hong Taining.

"Let Wenhao in." Hong Taining smiled.

If it weren't for his grandson's introduction, he might have missed a rare longevity physician. He had to recognize this favor.

"Greetings, grandfather!"

Entering the luxurious hall, Huang Wenhao first hurriedly saluted, and then walked towards Chen Wei with a solemn face.

At this time, seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became solemn, everyone at the banquet couldn't help but be slightly stunned, their eyes wandering between Chen Wei and Huang Wenhao, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"What's going on?"

As the captain of the Shenwei team, Huang Wenhao naturally has the right to wear armor and come to the door, but with such a fierce momentum, it is a bit disrespectful to the city lord.

Seeing this, Hong Taining's eyebrows jumped, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

"Please save my granddaughter's life, sir." Huang Wenhao bowed to Chen Wei.

"Hiss!"

Seeing this incredible scene, the three daughters who had been eyeing Chen Wei took a breath of cold air in their hearts.

As everyone knows, Huang Wenhao once killed two ghost kings who were rampant in Taishan City by himself. He is the strongest person besides the old man, and he is also a transcendent existence that everyone in Yinyuan City knows.

Even such a strong person has to bow respectfully to Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen's status is definitely beyond their imagination.

For a while, the three daughters of the Hong family looked at Chen Wei with more and more fiery eyes, and even began to consider how to join hands with their besties to take him down.

"General, you don't have to do this!"

Amidst the shocked gazes, Chen Wei reached out to stop Huang Wenhao, who was bowing 30 degrees, and said that they should talk properly and not bow all the time.

"Wenhao, you must not be rude to the gentleman." When Hong Taining found out that it was his grandson who needed help, his frown suddenly relaxed.

Huang Wenhao didn't care about so much. Now that his granddaughter was in danger, he went straight to the point.

"My granddaughter has a blood disease that is difficult to cure. Please help me, sir!"
