Chapter 3: Jinpin

After a while, footsteps sounded, and Li Yue followed a fat, chubby old man with a smile on his face and a dog-legged look on his face.

Meng Qinglin, enshrined in Baicao Courtyard, a sixth-grade bodyguard.

He had a chubby face and small eyes. When he saw the dark spots, his small eyes suddenly widened and he said loudly: "Don't stop!"

Chu Li put down the thin straw stick, cupped his fists and saluted: "Mr. Meng."

"Xiao Chu, what are you doing!" Meng Qinglin rushed over and glared at him.

He came close to a snow orchid with black spots, looked at it, smelled it, lay down on the ground and smelled it, then put a handful of soil into his mouth and tasted it.

"It's not rust disease!" Meng Qinglin frowned and spat out mud.

Li Yue offered the cup of tea knowingly and smiled apologetically.

Meng Qinglin coughed hard and frowned. Rusty spot is a common disease in Xuelan. It has many deformations, and these black spots look like rusty spot at first glance, which is very deceptive.

Meng Qinglin stared at Chu Li: "Xiao Chu, you don't know how to treat rusty spots, do you?"

Chu Li said: "It's a dewworm."

"Dewworm?" Meng Qinglin blinked his eyes, somewhat impressed, and hummed: "Are you sure?"

"About sixty percent."

"You boy, you are so brave!" Meng Qinglin handed over the tea cup and hummed: "If you really want to be put to death, you will be done with it in this life!"

Chu Li smiled and stepped forward to take the tea cup.

Seeing how confident he was, Meng Qinglin hummed, "How many days will it take for the results to be effective?"

"Four days is enough."

"Well, just wait and see. If you really want to be put to death, you don't want to stay here anymore!"

Meng Qinglin flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave. Li Yue followed behind with a smile. Chu Li clasped his fists, put down the tea cup and continued to apply the grass juice.

——

Chu Li stayed at Snow Orchid Garden day and night. If someone was seriously ill, he would move away. Li Yue was delivering food and drinks and noticed something strange.

Xuelan, who had a wilted head and droopy brain, and was in a bad state, became full of vitality after being touched by Chu Li, as if he had taken the Peiyuan Pill.

He asked Chu Li curiously. Chu Li said that this was a natural ability and asked him to keep his mouth shut and not to talk nonsense. Li Yue excitedly beat his chest and promised.

Although Donghuayuan is carefree, he also has heavy responsibilities and will be severely punished if something goes wrong. Therefore, when he sees Hua getting sick, he becomes uneasy, anxious and worried, and cannot eat well and cannot sleep.

Okay now, Chu Li has this ability, and he can finally sleep peacefully!

Three days later, the dark spots disappeared and Xuelan's skin returned to crystal clear skin, with no trace of illness visible.

Li Yue invited Meng Qinglin to come over. Meng Qinglin checked the caterpillars and saw Chu Li's success. He praised him and said that he would strive for his super promotion.

In addition to gaining seniority, there is another way for a guard to be promoted - to make meritorious service. If you make great achievements, you can be promoted to a higher rank.

This time, the Duke's Mansion was plagued by a lot of Xuelan. If Chu Li's method was used to cure them, it would be a great achievement, barely enough for the Jin Dynasty.

——

After dinner at noon, the sun was just right and people were lazy. Chu Li was about to take a nap when the jade chime sounded, indicating that someone had entered the island. Chu Li and Li Yue rushed to the shore to see.

Meng Qinglin got off the boat with a smile on his face, his face flushed.

Chu Li and Li Yue greeted him and saluted.

"Okay, okay!" Meng Qinglin patted Chu Li on the shoulder and said affectionately: "Xiao Chu, thanks to you this time, our East Garden is blushing."

The Baicao Courtyard is in charge of all the flowers and herbs in the house. The East Garden belongs to the third lady Xiao Qi, and the West Garden belongs to the eldest son Xiao Tieying. The two lines are fighting fiercely in the Baicao Courtyard. Meng Qinglin belongs to the East Garden lineage.

"All cured?" Chu Li smiled.

Meng Qinglin laughed loudly: "There are three hundred snow orchids in total!"

Li Yue said hurriedly: "Mr. Meng, can Brother Chu be promoted to a higher rank?"

"From today on, Xiao Chu, you are a ninth-grade bodyguard. Xiao Li, you will also benefit from the eighth grade!" Meng Qinglin smiled and took out two banknotes: "Ten thousand taels are Xiao Chu's, and one thousand taels are Xiao Li's." , this money is a reward from our Baicao Courtyard."

Chu Li took the silver, cupped his fists and smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Meng!"

Meng Qinglin must have put in a lot of effort to receive such a heavy reward.

"Okay, Xiao Chu, you have a great talent!" Meng Qinglin was overjoyed: "Finally, I beat Gu Litong!"

Li Yue asked in surprise: "Gu Litong didn't find a cure this time? He is a genius!"

Gu Litong has been in the government for three years and is an eighth-grade bodyguard. He has made two great achievements and introduced two varieties of exotic flowers. He has a bright future.

Meng Qinglin waved his fat hand: "He has no intention of doing this."

Chu Li said: "Mr. Meng, I have a small request."

"explain!"

"I want to visit the medicine garden."

"Hey, you are very ambitious. Do you want to enter the medicine garden?"

"Long famous and very curious."

"Hmm..." Meng Qinglin thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Okay, I can only enter the Ninth Grade Medicine Garden!"

"Thank you, Mr. Meng!"

"The medicine garden is not as beautiful as I thought, let's go!"

Meng Qinglin took the two people on board the boat. He commanded from the bow while Li Yue rowed the boat. After half an hour, they landed on a small island.

Four middle-aged guards stepped forward, their gazes as sharp as arrows. Meng Qinglin showed his waistband, and the guards lowered their heads and stepped back to let him go.

Li Yue held his nose and grimaced, as if he was about to vomit at any moment.

Chu Li shook his head and laughed. The smell on this island was strong enough. Various smells were mixed together, whether they were fragrant or smelly, which tortured the sense of smell.

Meng Qinglin smiled at Li Yue and said: "Xiao Li, if you stay in the medicine garden for a long time, you will have this smell on your body. It can't be washed away no matter how you wash it. How about it, it smells good, haha!"

Li Yue said with a bitter face: "Then how can we invite Yuelou? What girl can stand this!"

Meng Qinglin smiled and said: "Do you think the generous bonus is for nothing?"

The three of them came to a small courtyard.

Chu Li's large round mirror shone brightly within a radius of a mile, and he saw small courtyards connected to each other. Each small courtyard was a medicinal field, a kind of elixir.

There was a piece of dogtail grass growing in the medicine field in this small courtyard. Chu Li recognized it as floating grass, which was considered top among the ninth-grade elixirs.

A thin middle-aged man was bending down to hoe the grass, carefully lest he touch the floating grass. The hoe was made of jasper, small and delicate.

"Mr. Meng!" He turned his head when he heard the footsteps, cupped his fists and saluted.

Meng Qinglin waved his hand: "Xiao Jing, it's your business, I'll show them around."

"New here?" Jing Zhihai asked with a smile.

Meng Qinglin said: "For their meritorious service, they will be promoted to the top. As a reward, I will show them the medicine garden."

Jing Zhihai's expression changed, and he clasped his fists solemnly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, two little brothers, please feel free to do so."

It is not easy to be super-promoted. This kind of character has a bright future. If there is any good job or good position, the first choice will always be a super-promoted bodyguard.

"Senior Jing, can I touch you?"

"...Of course, just be careful, they are quite delicate."

Chu Li nodded his thanks and carefully touched a floating grass. The pure breath came in and followed the Xiaomai Cleansing Technique for a week.

It takes two years to practice the Xiao Pulse Cleansing Technique with it!

This is a ninth-grade elixir. If it were a first-grade elixir, how fast it would be!

The combination of elixir essence and Xiao Pulse Cleansing Technique is comparable to the Mortal Transformation Fruit. The Mortal Transformation Fruit can directly cut hair and cleanse the marrow to complete foundation building. It even has great benefits, but it is a legendary thing.

The essence of elixirs is like the essence of human grains. Once you die, the essence will be dispersed. The medicinal power and essence of elixirs are two different things.

Internal strength is to transform the essence of grains into internal force. The essence of grains is limited, but the essence of plants and trees is infinite. If you use it to replace the essence, you will make great progress in your own practice!

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt endless hope!

"Boy, what good things have you thought of?" Meng Qinglin interrupted his thoughts.

Chu Li let go and smiled.

"Go somewhere else, Xiaojing, and do your work." Meng Qinglin waved his hand.

Jing Zhihai sent them to the door diligently.

Chu Li and the other three visited five small courtyards. Chu Li touched them one by one. The Floating Grass was the purest. He had to seize the time to advance to the rank and come here to practice as soon as possible.

The three of them returned, Li Yue rowed the boat, Meng Qinglin smiled at Chu Li and said, "Xiao Chu, want to come in?"

Chu Li nodded.

Li Yue said hurriedly: "Brother, don't you want to be in the East Garden?"

"Run both ways."

"Xiao Chu, you are too junior. You have to wait a few years."

"Mr. Meng, there must be a way."

"There is a way, make meritorious service!"

"I hope Mr. Meng can give me some advice!"

"You know that Gu Litong is studying the Moonlight Orchid, right?" Meng Qinglin said with a smile: "You beat him to the task of raising the Moonlight Orchid, and I will guarantee that you will enter the Ninth Grade Medicine Garden!"

"Moonlight Lan..." Chu Li frowned.

The leaves are curved and emit white light at night, like a quarter moon, so it is also known as the moonlight orchid.

It was born on Moonlight Island overseas. Once it leaves the island, it only has a lifespan of one month. There are no exceptions so far, but it is deeply sought after because of its incomparable beauty.

A moonlight orchid costs at least two hundred taels of silver.

Two hundred taels of silver can buy a small house in Chongming City.

The ninth-grade bodyguard of Chu Li earns ten taels of silver a month, which is already a high salary. He can't even afford a moonlight orchid after working for a year, which shows how expensive it is.

I don’t know how many experts are studying such an expensive moonlight orchid, trying to extend its lifespan, but unfortunately no one has succeeded. Gu Litong is proud and proud, so he dares to challenge it.

"Don't you dare?" Meng Qinglin stared at him with a smile.

Li Yue kept winking at Chu Li.

Chu Li nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

After sending Meng Qinglin back, the two returned to the East Garden. Li Yue rowed the boat and complained about Chu Li: "Brother, how dare you say, Moonlight Orchid!"

Chu Li smiled against the wind and said, "Why not give it a try."

"If Gu Litong knew about it, he would definitely have an opinion!"

Chu Li smiled.

"Oh... you are so brave..." Li Yue shook his head helplessly.

He admired Chu Li's free and easy attitude, as if he didn't care about anything and could let go of everything, but this character was too easy to offend others and get into trouble.

Seeing his worry, Chu Li smiled and said, "He doesn't dare to break into the East Garden, right?"

"I don't dare, but he is not tolerant and will do anything by any means. He will definitely cause trouble for you!"

"Then keep your mouth shut and do it quietly!"

"Of course I have no problem!" Li Yue said loudly.

Chu Li shook his head disapprovingly. Li Yue had no authority and could not hold his tongue at all.

Li Yue said loudly: "I will never say that!"
