He didn't have much meat on him, even in the summer, he couldn't easily rot. In fact, when Zhao An left him in the fridge, he still hadn't died yet. He took the fish out from the fridge and walked on the street for a while.
Even if it wasn't fresh, it didn't matter. What Zhao An needed to refine medicinal pills was its skull, fish core, and other items. The medicinal effects would not decrease after refinement.
Zhao An didn't go directly to the garden, instead, he went to the Eight Mai Hall first. Zhao An entrusted Zhang Jiaquan with ordering a batch of utensils needed for making Chinese medicine. Apart from some traditional crafts, some of them were imported from Germany.
Zhao also learned from Zhang that although TCM was not popular in Europe and the United States, the Germans would still accept the customization of these equipments. The traditional equipments which were processed with modern technology according to the blueprints were more suitable and durable.
This batch of equipment was estimated to need over a hundred thousand yuan. It would be paid by Zhang Jiaquan and would be deducted from the transaction in the future.
Zhao An took a taxi and arrived at the Baji Hall. Since he didn't have a specific time scheduled, Zhang Jiaquan didn't come either. However, most of the shopkeepers knew Zhao An, and they couldn't help but look at him with amazement and a sigh.
The most surprising thing was that such a young man could get the attention of Zhang Jiaquan. Furthermore, he had some deals with Zhang Jiaquan. It seemed like it was that Baohua Spiritual Brewing Pill … Back then, when Zhao An had brought the prescription over, many people knew about it. Just by thinking about it, one could guess that the meeting between Zhao An and Zhang Jiaquan had begun with that recipe.
After all, it was normal for older members of the industry to support young people with talent and potential, which was more common in traditional industries. However, it would be difficult for him to make a deal with Zhang Jiaqing, which meant that Zhao An could do things that Zhang Jiaqing could not do, which meant that he had the ability to make Zhang Jiaqing treat him equally.
He's just a high school student. Did he really develop the Baohua Spiritual Brewing Pill? This was a major event that would cause a huge sensation in the Chinese medical community.
With all the equipment in hand, Zhao An called a taxi and brought them to the garden of the Imperial Palace.
It had been a while since he came, but there were still no changes in the two families' government gardens. When Lin Xiaoxian did not make any noise, it was as quiet as always, as if she was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
When Zhao An arrived in front of his house, he noticed that there were no movements from Lin Xiaoxian's mansion next door. Lin Xiaoxian had been rather quiet these past few days … Although it was normal for someone he knew to suddenly disappear for a few days in daily interactions, guys like Lin Xiaoxian, who appeared anywhere, were just like people with ADHD, making people feel weird.
However, Zhao An was not someone who wouldn't bother to pay attention to what she was doing. After waiting for a while at the entrance of the villa, the manager of the refurbishing company rushed over and examined the villa along with Zhao An.
Zhao An carefully examined the items. They could be considered a very large project in private decorations, but there was no loss of materials. Zhao An was mainly paying attention to whether they met his needs and were done in accordance with his blueprints.
There was basically no problem. Zhao An didn't have any intention of making things difficult for the other party, thus he successfully signed for the contract.
After the people from the refurbishment company left, Zhao An moved the equipment into the kitchen.
Zhao An had originally planned to turn the kitchen on the first floor into a medicine concocting area. With the addition of a more powerful exhaust facility and the accurate automation of the cooking utensils and gas equipment, even though it was unlikely to be completely comparable to the equipment in the system's space, it was still very close.
As for the effects of the medicine, it wouldn't be affected by the difference in the equipment. After all, refining medicine wasn't like McDonald's fast food brewing, it required experience and a good grasp of the various types of conditions to be able to produce the required medicine.
If it was just for the sake of improving one's physical fitness, normal fitness methods were more than enough. To truly practice martial arts was actually a great harm to one's body, and this kind of harm had to be dealt with in all kinds of ways. Among them, taking pills like Baohua Spiritual Brewing Pills was the most effective method.
As the saying goes, three parts of the pill is poisonous, but pills like the Baohua Spirit Restoring Pill have no poison and won't cause any harm to the body.
Zhao An walked into the living room. In the middle of the living room, there was a large and soft rug, making it seem somewhat hot to look at in the summer. Fortunately, the temperature inside the room was kept up to a certain point, so Zhao An lifted the carpet to reveal a large chessboard on the floor.
This chessboard was where Zhao An and Li Qingge trained during the summer vacation. Zhao An's ultimate goal was obviously to practice with Li Qingge, which could enter the legendary realm.
Zhao An walked up to the wall and looked at the few black buttons on the wall. He then pressed them one by one. Some fitness equipment was passed out from the secret door on the wall. He pressed it again and put it away.
Zhao An once again arrived at the basement. It was completely set up like a study. Although there weren't any real windows, the simulated windows installed on the walls and the natural lighting and scenery didn't make anyone feel dejected at all.
This was the most secretive place in the entire villa. Zhao An would be storing some things here.
With the addition of the change in decorating style, the villa now looked like a training ground, which meant the same 'luxury' as the villa, and the 'delicate life' no longer seemed to have anything to do with it.
Of course, the bedroom was still very comfortable. If he wanted to live here, he would have to enjoy it a lot. At the very least, it suited Zhao An's daily needs.
After a cursory examination, Zhao An nodded to himself. It was just as he had thought. What he needed was a private place where he could practice cultivation, refine pills, and store his personal belongings.
Actually, it was not that private as there were quite a few people who knew about this place. However, those who knew about it belonged to the category of people that would not disturb his cultivation and alchemy as well as make a fuss about what he had done.
Of course, Lin Xiaoxian was an exception. It was impossible for this person to not interfere with his cultivation and alchemy.
Zhao An pondered about when he would invite Tang Ying over. He would let her consume the Baohua Spirit Replenishing Pill here. After all, if they were in her home, it wouldn't be convenient for him to help her if something were to happen to her, even if the servants knew of it. It would be the same in the clubhouse, and there wouldn't be any problems here.
However, Tang Yuan would not have any reaction to the pill either. Li Qingge had been practicing her martial arts since the day she was born and had taken some nutritional supplements, which triggered the efficacy of the Baohua Spiritual Replenishment Pill so quickly that she developed symptoms similar to allergies.
Just as Zhao An was about to head to the kitchen to clean up the Mermaid, the system informed him that there was a visitor.
Who could it be? Zhao An immediately thought of Lin Xiaoxian.
When Ye Zichen arrived in the living room, he took a look at the monitor screen on the wall. Wasn't it Lin Xiaoxian who was standing at the door and looking motionless, yet rolling his eyes around?
Unexpectedly, Wu Qirong did not follow behind Lin Xiaoxian.
Zhao Dagang didn't seem to be there as he continued to busy himself, but then a heavy hammer came from the door. From the sound of the door, it didn't seem like he was using his hands to knock.
Zhao An didn't want to be messed up by Lin Xiaoxian when he renovated the house. He walked over to open the door and looked impatiently at Lin Xiaoxian, "What are you doing? You're already on the unwelcome list, so you're not allowed in."
With that, Zhao An glanced at Lin Xiaoxian. This guy was actually holding a rubber hammer.
"I knew you wanted to pretend you weren't home and wouldn't open the door for me, so I was prepared and would knock until you opened the door." Lin Xiaoxian was proud of his rubber hammer.
If Zhao An really wanted to snatch the hammer and smash her head, then he would be able to have some peace.
