In a blink of an eye, New Year's Eve has arrived.

This is the third New Year since Su Chen came to this world.

this day.

Su Chen got up and washed as usual, then went to the next room to set up the stove and cooked a pot of millet porridge.

Because the palace kitchen does not provide breakfast.

As a modern person, he would always feel uncomfortable if he didn't eat something in the morning. In the past few years, conditions did not allow him to do so, so he could only endure it and eat some sunflower seeds or dry food.

Kuiyuan is alone now, and no one comes here on weekdays, so it doesn't matter if she cooks something for herself.

After eating, get up and go out.

On the street outside, you can hear the sound of rituals and music, flags waving, and carriages and horses. It should be the procession of the royal family going to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors.

The royal family of Dachu still attached great importance to filial piety, so they had special ancestor worship ceremonies during every year and festival.

Su Chen didn't bother to pay attention, so he came to the yard, stretched his limbs, and performed a set of Taizu Changquan.

Although he is currently majoring in Tiangang Tongzi Kung Fu, he has not relaxed his practice.

The main purpose of Tiangang Tongzi Kung Fu is to increase strength and build up internal strength. This fist and kick skills must not be lost either. This is a practical technique.

"Dip bah bah -"

A sharp cry came.

Immediately afterwards, a bright bolt of lightning flew down, its wings picked up frost and snow, and then landed steadily in the yard.

It is the sea turtle raised by the eldest princess.

Although the eldest princess no longer lives here, for some reason, this guy still flies here occasionally to beg for sunflower seeds.

Su Chen is not annoyed by it either.

In this deep palace, it is rare to find a way to relieve boredom. Sometimes, birds and animals are more trustworthy than people.

Therefore, whenever Haidongqing flies over, Su Chen will generously take out sunflower seeds and treat it to a feast.

This beast seems to be quite spiritual. After doing this several times, every time he comes back, he will bring some strange things to Su Chen as a reward.

It's a courtesy.

Among these things are half-eaten fish bones and ordinary rocks with strange shapes, but occasionally there are also valuable items.

For example, a few days ago, Hai Dongqing picked up a piece of gold the size of a pigeon egg.

Su Chen didn't know where he got it. He happened to be short of money right now, so he accepted it and gave it to Xiao Linzi, asking him to help him purchase some things.

"Hey, did you go hunting today? You actually brought a rabbit with you. It looks quite fat."

Looking at the hare in Hai Dongqing's mouth, Su Chen burst out laughing.

Looks like I can have extra food tonight.

"Dip!"

Hai Dongqing raised his neck, as if he was very proud, and then scratched the snow with his paws a few times, indicating that he should stop talking nonsense and give him melon seeds quickly!

"Okay, wait. Today is the New Year, so you can eat as much as you like!"

Su Chen picked up the bloody rabbit and threw it into the next room. Then he went to the warehouse and filled a wooden basin full of sunflower seeds.

"These sunflower seeds have been stored for a while and are a little damp. Let's just eat them. When spring comes next year, I will plant more so that I can have fresh sunflower seeds to eat."

"Dip bah bah -"

Hai Dongqing tilted his head, not caring about what he said, and began to happily immerse himself in his food.

Su Chen didn't care about it either.

I got up and went to the library. After a brief cleaning, I came to the area where medical scriptures are stored.

Since breaking through the blood exchange realm, he has begun to try bone forging.

However, bone forging and cultivation are more difficult than exchanging blood.

Just relying on martial arts training will make progress very slowly. Even with advanced martial arts such as Tiangang Tongzi Kung Fu, it is difficult for the internal force to directly penetrate into the bones.

At this time, it is necessary to soak in a special bone-forging liquid and combine it with Zuogui wine to work together internally and externally, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.

Fortunately, before his death, Eunuch Li left some prescriptions for him.

Among them is this bone forging liquid.

So after Su Chen received the gold sent by Haidongqing, he gave it directly to Lin Fan and asked him to purchase some medicinal materials.

At the same time, I have not been idle. I have been reading medical books these days, mainly to better understand the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials and prepare for the preparation of medicinal solutions in the future.

"Ginseng is sweet in taste, tonifies vitality, relieves coughs and promotes body fluids, regulates health and nourishes the body... Astragalus is warm in nature, collects sweat and strengthens the surface, supports sores and promotes muscle growth, and is perfect for qi deficiency..."

Holding the medical book in his hand, he didn't notice the passage of time.

It wasn't until noon that the bell rang outside the door, and Su Chen put down his book and came out.

Xiao Linzi pushed the cart, looked around for no one, and then handed over the food box and a package.

He whispered: "I have obtained all the medicinal materials you asked for. There is also some money left. I will bring it to you in the evening..."

"Forget the money, just leave it with you. It's my money for extra meals."

Su Chen said, opening the package and looking at it, he saw that there was no shortage of the medicinal materials he needed, and they were all in good condition. He estimated that they were obtained from the inner treasury, so of course he was satisfied.

To be on the safe side, he had deliberately mixed the bone-forging liquid with ingredients in several other prescriptions to avoid being caught by others or using the prescription for free.

Therefore, this pack of medicinal materials is actually worth a lot of money.

After spending that piece of gold, I guess there won't be much left, so I might as well be more generous and treat it as hard work.

After all, the other party is also responsible for such private transactions.

"Okay! Brother Qingliang, I won't shirk it. Today is the Chinese New Year, and I have to be busy in the kitchen and dinner for a while. I will take a step first and come back to you in the evening..."

After saying that, Xiao Linzi pushed the cart and left in a hurry.

Su Chen closed the courtyard door, returned to the room, had a simple meal, drank a few sips of wine, and then took out the medicinal materials and placed them on the table.

First, sort the medicines into categories according to the types and amounts required by the prescription.

"These medicinal materials can be used to prepare almost ten parts of the bone forging liquid, which is enough for me to use for a period of time. The remaining ones can be used to prepare some healing medicine, as well as several poisonous powders for self-defense...

"

After making the corresponding preparations, Su Chen took the medicine mortar and other tools from the room.

The preparation of these medicinal liquids and powders is relatively simple. You only need to prepare them according to the formula and strictly according to the proportions. It is far less complicated than refining elixirs for immortals.

Therefore, Su Chen only spent one afternoon to prepare these things.

Then use medicine jars and ceramic bottles to store them separately, so that when you need to use them, you can take them out directly.

After finishing these things, it was already dark.

The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and fireworks bloomed over the imperial city.

This was the first year of the new emperor's accession to the throne. The royal family valued it very much, so they spent a lot of money to buy fireworks.

For a time, the fireworks were brilliant, and the entire imperial city was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

"Su Chen, come out and help, there are too many things to carry..."
Chapter completed!
