Chapter 520: Take Down The Notice!
“Because you’re an alchemist, and one whose alchemy attainment is extremely high.”
“You’re saying...” Lou Qianxue’s beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
An Shaoning nodded. “That’s right. When Master Guogong was poisoned during a battle four years ago and he subsequently returned to the Imperial city to recuperate, his mansion placed three signboards in front of the entrance. Every day, they put up notices to summon famous doctors in Tiao Zhao to treat him.”
As An Shaoning spoke, he looked at Lou Qianxue. “They kept the Thousand thread vine to treat Zhen Guogong’s illness. However, if you can treat Zhen Guogong, then they naturally have no use for the Thousand thread vine. When the time comes, you’ll get a chance to obtain it.”
“Is this for real?” Lou Qianxue showed interest in the matter. “How do I get to Zhen Guogong’s mansion? I’ll go and take a look.”
“I’ll take you there since I’m free. But, Qianxue, you have to be prepared. Gong Sunheng also went to see Master Guogong, but he was helpless.”
“Gong Sunheng?” Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows. “Even he had no way... It has to be a difficult and complicated illness. After hearing you talk about it, I’ve become more interested.”
***
Soon, the two of them arrived at Zhen Guogong’s mansion.
Zhen Guogong’s mansion had the title ‘The home of the God of War.’ It was majestic and exuded a heroic aura. The two stone lions that stood at the entrance were also majestic. Anyone who glanced at them would be greeted with a sharp and solemn aura.
Lou Qianxue immediately noticed the three stone tablets on the opposite side of the road. Huge notices posted on them caught her eyes.
Looking for doctors!
After passing through an endless stream of people, Lou Qianxue walked to the front of the stone tablets.
“Even if Zhen Guogong’s illness can’t be treated, as long as one goes to his mansion to treat him, one will receive a hundred gold taels. One hundred gold taels are equal to one thousand silver taels. It’s enough for a commoner’s family to live for a few years. Zhen Guogong’s mansion is really generous.”
“Cough.” Cold sweat dripped from An Shaoning’s forehead. “I nearly forgot to tell you that there’s a Second Young Master in Zhen Guogong’s mansion who is very strong and has an extremely high cultivation. However, his temper is not too good. He treats many people who come to treat Zhen Guogong as quacks and seriously injures them... He even nearly beat up Gong Sunheng.”
“... He even wanted to beat Gong Sunheng?” Lou Qianxue stretched her hand out and supported her forehead. “So he has beaten the alchemists who entered the mansion?”
“Cough, it’s vaguely like this... Hence, this notice at the mansion’s entrance has yet to be taken down.”
Lou Qianxue nodded. Then she held the sides of the notice and tore them...
When the passersby at the side saw this, they could not help themselves from stopping to watch her.
“Huh? What’s this young lady doing?”
“By the looks of it... Oh gosh! Is she taking down the notice?”
“!!! She actually dared to take down the notice? Isn’t she afraid of Second Young Master treating her as a quack and beating her up?”
“Yeah! Given her age, even if she’s an alchemist, her alchemy attainment won’t be that high!”
“Yes! Even the demonically-talented alchemist, Master Gongsun, couldn’t treat Master Zhen Guogong. What can a young lady like her do?”
“If she enters, she’ll definitely get a beating!”
A good-hearted person even persuaded Lou Qianxue in a loud voice. “Young lady, do you need money? Do you want to get one hundred gold taels? Look at you, you’re so delicate. You won’t be able to endure the beating. Don’t act so foolishly for money!”
“Right, I just saw that a medicinal shop in the west of the city is hiring people. If you’re an alchemist, they’ll definitely recruit you. You don’t have to lose your life because of money.”
“But...” Everyone felt baffled. “An alchemist is in need of money? This is too rare!”
