Chapter 8: Gathering Sand into a Tower 2

  At the same time, because the replica version of Xy is almost identical to the original, without looking at the new and old degree, it is completely indistinguishable, with a very high degree of simulation. This gives people another idea, letting Xy almost replicate all important books, including the most important secret book of Mohism.

  This is also because the Mo family's library didn't have any particularly important secret manuals, so they wouldn't mind if Xiang Yao looked through everything. At the same time, it was also possible that some of the most important things weren't in this library to begin with.

  At least, Xiao Yao didn't see Mo Jia's most important casting technique secret book!!

  "Xiaoyao, do you think there's any way I can get a chance to participate in the Longmen competition?" At that time, Third Young Master asked Xiaoyao a sentence out of nowhere, and after asking, he felt amused by himself, wondering why he would ask this little servant.

  Perhaps because of what had happened before, which was somewhat related to Xiao Yao, it made him feel deep down that Xiao Yao might have a way to solve this difficult problem.

  At that time, Xiaoyao didn't think twice and directly replied: "Yes, it's you who will suffer!"

  "You really have? Then come on, I'm not afraid of suffering!"

  “……”

  I'm letting you talk back, I'm letting you talk back!!

  At that time, I wanted to knock over the bookshelf. Not only would it be a lot of trouble, but I would also definitely be scolded by Second Master and Second Mistress again.

  As expected, the third young master was indeed very hardworking and diligent, following instructions carefully. However, the second madam on the other hand was overly anxious, constantly blaming herself while also making demands of others.

  "Keep the fire going, Third Master will absorb the medicine's power himself. This should be enough for two hours! The medicine is almost gone, I'll go buy some more tomorrow, Second Mistress, please give me some silver." Xīaoyáo said as he asked Second Mistress for silver, but in fact, he wasn't in a hurry to leave. With Second Mistress watching from the side, he thought it was better to find an excuse to withdraw himself, anyway, things were already like that and didn't need him anymore.

  "A few days ago, didn't I just give you 100 taels? How can you ask for more?" The second lady frowned and said. From the beginning to now, she had already taken out 500 taels, which was not a small amount, at least not for the lower class people.

  "A few days ago, didn't I buy some medicine? I've already given you the list. Do you want me to repeat it? Top-grade tuckahoe ten catties, three taels and two mace..." Xiangyao recited the bill from memory, and if one were to check carefully, they would find that not a single character was off.

  Even if this bill was forged by him, the memory is very strong. Moreover, this bill was given by the pharmacy, which is indeed a real and reliable bill.

  As for this, the second madam has also passed by and inspected the goods, and the bill is completely consistent, whether in terms of quantity or quality. The price is also the market price, and it's even slightly lower than the market price.

  Even if the second lady goes shopping herself, she may not be able to find anything better than what Xiangyang has found, or even cheaper!

  He has always been like this when buying things, he used to buy this and that all the time, never made a mistake, and did an excellent job, also seemingly without any possibility of corruption.

  This made many people feel at ease letting Xiao Yao go shopping, and the second lady was no exception. She had just asked because this money was used up too quickly, one hundred taels of silver were spent in just a few days.

  One hundred taels of silver is equivalent to one hundred thousand copper coins, and for an ordinary family of three, only five or six hundred copper coins are needed per month to make ends meet, of course, just barely making ends meet.

  "Alright, no need to say more, how much do you still need now?" The second lady interrupted Xiangyang's report and said.

  "It still needs a hundred taels, Second Madam, don't think it's too much. This can greatly enhance Third Young Master's power. You'll need to spend hundreds of taels for each of those medicines." Xiangyao said, thinking that the Second Madam was being stingy, so he explained the pros and cons.

  Just as Xiangyao said, if you want to buy elixirs that enhance your power, the cheapest ones would cost at least a few hundred taels, and they're still the lowest quality. Moreover, it's not like one pill is enough.

  "Alright, alright, I know. Just give me a number and that's all. As long as your skills can keep up, even if it means going bankrupt, I'm willing!!" The second lady said, handing over 100 taels of silver to Xiao Yao.

  "Alright, I'll go buy the medicinal herbs right away. There's one more thing, Third Young Master is about to enter the final stage, and those medicinal herbs need to be brand new and extremely rare and precious. Our alchemy room just so happens to have them all, but this requires you, Second Madam, and Old Master to give the okay, otherwise we can't take them out for use. We must buy them." Xiangyao said, as for understanding the alchemy room, he believed that no one in the entire Mo family knew more than him.

  "Give me a list of these, I'll go ask!" The second lady nodded, she didn't want to spend her own money, if she could use the company's, then she would. After all, her son was the third young master of the Mo family, using some medicinal materials was nothing.

  She had gone herself before because she thought it was a small amount and didn't want to trouble the master, but now this is no longer a small amount.

  "This is the list!" Xiao Yao handed a piece of paper to Madame Er, on which were densely written the names of medicinal materials, making it clear that he had long been prepared and was just waiting for her words.

  The second lady looked at the list of results, glanced at it for a few moments, and then went to find the master.

  Xiao Yao also set out at the same time to buy medicine outside. This medicinal bath is really a waste, requiring dozens of kilograms of medicine to be put in, and it's only used once.

  However, this effect is also very obvious. San Shao's power is rapidly rising. It was because of seeing this effect that San Shao and Er Furen allowed Xiao Yao to continue; otherwise, they would have already abandoned him.

  And this medicinal bath is not a unique creation of Xiao Yao's, as there are many precedents for it. So, everyone didn't pay attention to why Xiao Yao would come up with this method, perhaps he heard or saw some folk remedy somewhere.

  Some people used to use San Shao Ye's medicinal bath method because of his success, and even the prescription was exactly the same, but strangely, it seemed that no one could achieve San Shao Ye's success.

  Because the medicinal bath of Third Young Master, although it is said that the ingredients are not very rare, but the amount is absolutely unmatched, and few people can bear it. However, strangely, Third Young Master was able to bear it, and even absorbed the maximum amount of medicinal effect.

  If nothing else is said in between, it must be that Third Master's body is different from ordinary people!!

  It's just that no one can say clearly which one it is, only because the third young master's body was indeed unusual at that time, he had just been struck by lightning and his body was a bit special.

  But how can this be seen as carefree?

  So, whether it was the third young master's physical abnormality or the use of other medicines, Xiao Yao was a suspicious object, only this suspicion had been a long time ago, and at that time, it seemed to have no meaning.

  In Qingyun City, if you want to buy medicinal materials, the first choice is Huang's pharmacy. This is a family with a similar reputation to Mo's, famous for their medical skills and business. They not only have a medicinal material trade but also excellent medical skills.

  However, in terms of rank alone, the Huang family is inferior to the Mo family. In the medical world, they can only be considered second-rate, but in Qingyun City, they are the only and highest-ranking ones.

  This situation leaves no room for choice, but the Huang family, although a second-rate medical family, has medical skills that are sufficient to cope with the people of Qingyun City. Their medicinal materials business is also genuine and affordable, with a wide range of products that can almost rival those of a first-rate medical family.

  It's precisely because of this that the prices at Huang's pharmacy are basically non-negotiable, and everyone accepts them. Yet, at this very moment, someone is haggling over prices in Huang's pharmacy!

  "Absolutely!"

  "...... it's probably too difficult, 80%!! No, 90%!!"

  "Absolutely!"

  "Let's give way, it's 80% his fault!!"

  "Absolutely!"

  "Stop being so arrogant! If I tell your family about this, you'll be in big trouble!!" The person who said this seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

  "Eighty percent!!" Xiao Yao glanced at his opponent lightly and still said those two words calmly.

  "Damn it, you're ruthless! Eight percent is eight percent, if we keep going like this, none of us will make a profit!!" In the end, he still didn't explode in anger, but instead gritted his teeth and looked stifled.

  "Don't worry, you'll at least make a profit of 1-2%, don't think I don't know that the profit margin for medicinal materials is at least 30-40%. Your medicinal materials may be the lowest in the industry, but it's still extremely profitable!" He said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

  "But our family business is big, if we don't make money, what's the point of living?" The shopkeeper of the Huang family store said gruffly.

  "So, I didn't let you have a discount earlier, and now you want a wholesale price for such a large quantity?" said Xiao Yao.

  "You also gave us a 50% discount last time, and it's already very cheap. I really don't know how you quoted this price in the first place. You must have made a lot of profit in between, huh?" said the owner of Huang's pharmacy. This was not Xiao Yao's first time purchasing here; before serving as San Shao Ye's butler, he had come many times, and previously the prices were only at 95% off.

  "There aren't many, I reported it as 97%." said Xiao Yao.

  "This is indeed not much, why don't you just eat away that half?" said the shopkeeper, according to his transaction records, Xiao Yao's 2% profit was only a tiny bit.

  "If I eat half of it, then it's not worth buying." Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Moreover, this can be eaten with a clear conscience. Even if we get caught, the owner won't say anything."

  “……”

  Indeed, if he eats all the half-ripe ones, then he will be just like everyone else, so why would others ask him to go shopping?

  Although two percent may not be a lot, it is also an income. Accumulating little by little can make a big difference, and later on, being carefree will prove this point.

  "Oh, you little scamp! So this is why you didn't want to follow me!!"

  At this time, a sound that made Xiao Yao's heart skip a beat rang out, and a beautiful figure also appeared in front of Xiao Yao and the others.

  “……”
