Chapter 32 - Caring for Good Medicine"Yo brat, it"s three days since you started, you even know this!"
Xiang Jinghong once again looked at this third brother of his in a new light. At the same time, he could be considered to have disguised himself as Xiang Yun"s person. This item before him was indeed a treasure that could refine Profound Jade Pills, the Ice Soul Rose!
"Sss." After Xiang Yun received confirmation, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air as he looked at his second brother.
"Second Brother, this Mystic Jade Pill is a Spirit Pill that can let a peak Huang Yun martial artist to directly advance to a Mystic Cloud martial artist. The Ice Soul Rose is the main ingredient for the Mystic Jade Pill, isn"t that a little too valuable? Do you really want to give it to me?"
However, Xiang Jinghong said with an indifferent expression, "This thing is indeed priceless, but in my opinion, it"s just an ordinary spiritual object. In any case, our Wind Cloud Kingdom doesn"t have any alchemist who can refine Mystic Jade Pills, so there"s no use in keeping it. We can give it to you as a gift instead.The Ice Soul Rose was able to refine a Mystical Jade Pill, allowing a martial artist to directly advance into Mystical Cloud Realm. The value of this pill was tremendous, if it was placed on the market, it would definitely be worth ten thousand gold coins. Moreover, it would be priceless, so it would definitely not be easy for second brother to obtain it!
In order to get ahold of this Ice Soul Rose, Xiang Jinghong led his army through the frozen forest of ice and snow in the northern border for tens of thousands of li and went up the Arctic Mountain Range. Because the weather was too harsh for the war horses and soldiers to handle, the latter abandoned his army and continued on his way by himself to kill and kill tens of powerful cloud beasts.
The latter fought with the Cold Hail Snake that protected the Ice Soul Rose for a day and a night, and finally killed it and brought it back to the Ice Soul Rose. The price was that he suffered from the snake poison, but there was no cure for it, and after lying in the army camp for two months, he had to suffer the pain of the frost awl every day as his body stiffened. In the end, Xiang Jinghong relied on his tenacious willpower and tenacious physique, and forcefully withstood until the snake poison was exhausted, only then was he able to preserve his little life.Of course, he did not tell Xiang Yun about this experience at all, instead putting on an appearance as if he had obtained it very easily. He was afraid that Xiang Yun would be unwilling to accept it, or feel that he was in debt.
Xiang Yun was no longer that heartless little prince who coveted and enjoyed himself. He now understood in his heart that his second brother truly cared for him, was willing to sacrifice selflessly for him, and wished for his own good.Xiang Yun held the brocade box in his hands and did not shirk away. He only stared straight at Xiang Jinghong, staring into his second brother"s eyes for a long while.
"f.u.c.k, Xiao Yunzi, don"t look at me with that kind of expression, your second brother is a proper man!" "Don"t use this old way of thanking me for making love to me." Xiang Jinghong stared vigilantly at Xiang Yun, his hands tightly hugging his chest.
"…"
"Second Brother, thank you. I won"t let you worry about me in the future!" Facing Xiang Jinghong, Xiang Yun spoke with an extremely calm tone.
"Hmm?"He still remembered the last time he had seen Xiang Yun, this sickly brat had been carrying two beautiful maidservants with him as well. He had hugged them from left to right with a face full of arrogance, looking at him triumphantly as he spoke.
"Hehe, second brother, if I have you as my backer from now on, I"m not afraid of anyone anymore. If anyone dares to provoke me, I"ll find you to kill them!"It had only been a short year since they had last met, and the next time they had met, this third brother who had caused him so many headaches had actually said things that he couldn"t let him worry about. This truly made Xiang Jinghong feel astonished.
Xiang Jinghong heavily patted Xiang Yun"s shoulder, looking at him and saying, "Stinking brat!" It"s good for you to have this idea, but I"m your second brother, and your problem is my problem, it"s hard not to worry! "
However, his heart felt extremely warm and warm. This was a kind of feeling that Xiang Yun had never experienced before in his previous life, because he was an orphan that had been brought up by his grandfather. He did not have a single sibling, but now he had a second brother, a brother whose blood was thicker than water!
"What were you looking at, second brother?" Xiang Yun suddenly raised his head, looking at Xiang Jinghong as he spoke.Err, "Xiang Jinghong"s expression froze slightly. He had not expected Xiang Yun to suddenly ask this question, and he was momentarily caught off guard. "Hmm, ah," he mumbled to himself for a moment, before he feigned calmness as he said," That, is just reading some wild history biographies, just having fun with them.
"Hehe, second brother, you are so dishonest." Xiang Yun smirked as he looked at his second brother. He strolled over to where his second brother had been sitting, the armchair he had been sitting on earlier. He reached out and touched the soft cotton pad on the chair.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Jinghong"s expression changed slightly. He hurriedly strode to the side of the chair and sat down on it.
"What is third brother saying? Is second brother going to lie to you?"
Xiang Yun looked at his second brother"s pretentious expression, unable to restrain his laughter. The latter"s smile grew even wider, revealing a look of disdain as he said, "Second brother, don"t think that I don"t know. You were just reading Baoxian"er"s picture book."
"Holy sh * t!" How do you know I"m reading Baoxian"er"s Spring Palace Painting Book! " Xiang Yun"s words were like a steel needle stabbing Xiang Jinghong"s b.u.t.t, shocking him so much that the latter directly bounced up from his chair.
Hehe, second brother, don"t you know who your third brother is? This is related to matters like wind and moon, from the major brothels of the Wind Cloud Nation to the famous brothels, down to the pictures and ill.u.s.trations in the Spring Palace, there is nothing that I can not understand.The latter was extremely proficient in the affairs of men and women, and had much more experience in the matters of men and women than his own brother. In this aspect, it was simply too difficult to hide this little brother of his from himself, the latter could even use his nose to know how many women he had come into contact with.
"Second Brother, to be honest, isn"t this taste of yours a bit too outdated? Baoxian"er"s Spring Palace Painting Book could still be considered a rare item three years ago. It"s popular for a time, but it"s long since been eliminated."
Xiang Jinghong scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, saying helplessly, "I"ve been living in the army all year round, how would I have the time to search for these things? I also obtained this book by chance, I just happened to flip through it randomly."
Xiang Yun had an expression of understanding as he smiled, saying, "Second brother, I understand you. The so-called "three years as a soldier, a sow a mink cicada". I know your requirements are of a lower standard."
Xiang Jinghong could only helplessly smile bitterly. However, he immediately asked out of curiosity, "Third brother, who is this marten cicada?""A great beauty."
"Oh!""Second Brother, this time, you have to thank me. I brought you something good." Xiang Yun looked at Xiang Jinghong like a thief. As he spoke, he turned and first closed the door to Xiang Jinghong"s room before turning and walking towards him.
"What good stuff?" Xiang Jinghong looked curiously at the mysterious Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun grinned. Lowering his head, he opened the small case he had brought in. From within, he took out a pinkish book that emitted a faint fragrance, a thick book that was an inch or so thick, and handed it over to Xiang Jinghong!
Xiang Jinghong lowered his head to look at the book that Xiang Yun had pa.s.sed over. First, the tip of his nose moved slightly, feeling that the aroma was elegant and alluring, before staring fixedly at the cover of the book.
On the cover, there were four elegant and gentle words: "Interesting medicine!"
"What kind of book is this? Could it be the ancient book of some pill master?" Xiang Jinghong asked, a little doubtful.
"Open it yourself." Xiang Yun"s face was filled with a wicked smile. He had already prepared this book a few months ago. Now that he had a.s.similated it into his memories, he naturally knew what it was.
With a trace of doubt, Xiang Jinghong slowly opened the first page of the book!"Hiss!"
The moment he opened the first page, Ding Jinghong"s eyes instantly widened. His mouth involuntarily grew wide as he took in a deep breath of chilly air from the northwest side of the room!
Immediately, time came to a halt. Xiang Jinghong stood rooted to the spot, not moving an inch. Only his eyes were still constantly moving up and down, staring fixedly at the page before him with a fiery look.
"Hehe, how is second brother? Are you satisfied with the present I sent you?" Xiang Yun smiled as he spoke.
"Satisfied!" Currently, Xiang Jinghong could be said to be unwilling to part with his book. Although he was replying to Xiang Yun, his gaze had never once left the pages of that book.
Xiang Yun looked at his second brother"s loving look and said with an unhappy smile, "Second brother, this book has three hundred and sixty-five pages. You can keep it and read it slowly, but you won"t be able to finish it now."The latter quickly put down the book in her hand, and her reluctant gaze shifted from the first page of the book to the picture of a beautiful celestial fairy who was drawing a picture of a half-naked woman with a misty look on her face.
Xiang Jinghong let out a heavy breath, then looked at Xiang Yun with a look of disbelief, "Third brother, where did you get such a great thing? The quality of this thing is more than just a level higher than the one I"ve seen in Baoxian"er"s painting books. It"s ten times, a hundred times more than that!"
Although he had only flipped to the first page, the latter had already been completely convinced by the content within. The realism of this scene could simply be described as false, true, and extremely attractive. Compared to this, the picture book was like the difference between clouds and mud.Xiang Jinghong felt that just by looking at the pages in the book, he was unable to find any interest in the Book of Immortals, which he had originally regarded as a precious treasure. It now seemed like it was just a piece of trash.
Xiang Yun said complacently, "Second Brother, this is the newly published book, and it is the Spring Palace Painting Book published by my Qin Feng City. The characters in this book are all based on the works of the renowned courtesan of the brothel, and the ones invited are top craftsmen and painters who have meticulously created it together with experts in the field of color. Right now, they are still in the midst of preparation, preparing to release it.
Hearing this, Xiang Jinghong"s face was filled with amazement: "So that"s the case, no wonder the quality of this book is so much higher than all the similar books I"ve seen before, it"s actually the newly published quality book, and it"s even published by your kid Qin Feng City. And there"s even a prototype of a real person, doesn"t that mean that the books we"ve seen will still be able to see him in Qin Feng City?""Of course!" Xiang Yun nodded in satisfaction.
"Ouch!" I really don"t know who would actually be the one to preside over the publication of such a fine picture book. " Xiang Jinghong sighed with emotion from the bottom of his heart.Hearing this, Xiang Yun"s expression turned a little awkward. In fact, the editor of this considerate medicinal herb was right in front of him. It was Xiang Yun himself. The young crown prince had personally written this book.
Although Xiang Yun was somewhat speechless at the young crown prince"s odd behavior, he could not help but admire the latter"s business ac.u.men.
In order to expand his business in the Piercing Wind City to the entire Northwest Continent, this little prince had actually thought of a way to publish the Painting Book of Daoist Master Chun.
not only through the publication of fine picture books
He could earn a fortune from this, and he could advertise the ladies of the Qin Feng City through the art book. He could have those famous people gather in the city and attract a lot of customers to bring a lot of wealth to the city!
Such a chain of advertising was an extremely brilliant move, even in his previous life. For this little crown prince to be able to have such brains, Xiang Yun really did not know if he was proud or ashamed to pa.s.s on to him.
The two brothers chatted about the contents of the books once more. Xiang Yun patted his chest and promised Xiang Jinghong that once a new book was published, it would definitely be the first one to bring it to him. Upon hearing this, Xiang Jinghong immediately beamed with joy.
As the two of them were talking, the door was suddenly flung open!
"Second brother!" I heard that your strength has improved again? " A rough voice that sounded like thunder instantly dashed into the room!
