Chapter 44 It’s a long story There was only one furnace burning in the alchemy young man was sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, scratching his head. The air was filled with a burnt smell. "Liu Ling." Hearing her name, Liu Ling turned around, was slightly stunned, and then walked over quickly. "Master of the Gate." He looked at Nie Yuan. "Where's your teacher?" Nie Yuan asked. "The teacher was injured after returning from the desert and has been recovering at his residence during this period." Liu Ling answered. Nie Yuan nodded, "If you really are not in good shape, you can go out for a walk to calm down. Maybe the chances of success in refining the elixir will be higher."
Liu Ling didn't expect the Sect Master to comfort her. Her face felt a little hot, but she still shook her head, "Sect Master, the Madi Di Capital Alchemist Conference is about to begin. I want to win a championship for Yunlan Sect." The Alchemist Conference is held every eight years and is considered a relatively grand event in the Gama Empire. Every event attracts many alchemists, including those from the nearby Izumo Empire, Luoyan Empire, and Mulan Empire. Nie Yuan smiled and encouraged, "Not bad, keep up the good work, but at the same time, you should also pay attention to combining work with rest." Standing there, Liu Ling didn't look away until she could no longer see Nie Yuan's back. She clenched her right fist and said, "I will definitely be the champion of this alchemy competition!" There was a gleam of confidence in his eyes! …… Gu He's residence is not far from the alchemy room, close to the edge of the cliff, and he can see the distant scenery as soon as he goes out. There are tables and chairs carved from huge stones at the door. Usually when Gu He is not making elixirs, he will sit here drinking tea and looking through elixir recipes. Is the injury serious? I wonder if he got the strange fire? Nie Yuan turned his gaze to the tightly closed door and walked forward and knocked gently. The room was quite quiet, and after several seconds the sound of slippers rubbing against the floor could be heard. Squeak. The door opened, revealing Gu He with a stubbled face and a pale, haggard look. Seeing the figure outside the door, Gu He was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Master, you are back?" "Well, he fell into a coma after blocking a bolt of lightning that day. Elder Gu, how did things go after that? Did you get the strange fire?" Nie Yuan already knew the result from the other party's aura. "It was taken away by another guy." Gu He's expression darkened, a flash of anger flashed across his eyes, and he covered his mouth and coughed twice.
"I heard from Liu Ling that you were injured? What happened? I took Medusa away. With Yun Yun here, we should be able to stabilize the situation." Nie Yuan showed a hint of concern between his brows. "The sect leader is worried about you and has caught up with you." Furukawa looked bitter. [Ding! Gu He feels resentful, emotion value +99] He didn't expect that Nie Yuan actually found a way to solve the seal in secret. If I had known this earlier, I would have definitely asked Nie Yuan to help. With two Dou Huangs in charge, there is no way the Strange Fire could fall into the hands of another guy. The two sat down across the table facing each other. "Master, why were you in the Snake Temple at that time?" Gu He poured two cups of tea and pushed one of them in front of Nie Yuan. Nie Yuan sighed, "It's a long story." Hearing this, Gu He pricked up his ears. However, after waiting for a while, he saw that Nie Yuan had no intention of continuing. [Ding! Gu He becomes speechless, emotion value +30] "The Sect Master suddenly came to my house. Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Furukawa asked proactively. "Hey, nothing can be hidden from Elder Gu." Nie Yuan looked up in pretended surprise. [Ding! Gu He becomes speechless and restrained, emotion value +99] Feeling itchy in his chest and wanting to cough, Gu He picked up two large cups of tea and drank them in one go. "Elder Gu, do you have any experience or notes on alchemy? It would be best if you learned it when you were a beginner." Nie Yuan spoke. Gu He looked at him puzzledly, "Master, what do you want this for?" "I suddenly became interested in refining medicine and wanted to study it." Nie Yuan said in a joking tone. Gu He also laughed and said, "Alchemy is not like fighting skills. It is more about the details, and talent is also very important." "Of course, Elder Gu, are you afraid that I will take your position?" Nie Yuan nodded first, then suddenly changed the subject.
This sudden turn of events stunned Gu He. "In terms of cultivation talent, I, Gu He, admit that I am not as good as the Sect Master, but in terms of refining medicine, at least in this Jia Ma Empire, I am the only Pill King." Touching the ring with his hand, Gu He took out a pile of booklets with a proud look on his face and put them on the table. Not always. Nie Yuan thought to himself, still with a faint smile on his face, he put away the things directly, and then stood up, "Elder Gu, have a good rest, I won't disturb you for now." "Master, if you encounter something you don't understand, you can always come to me." Looking at Nie Yuan's back, Gu He shouted. Nie Yuan didn't turn around, but just stretched out his arm and gestured in response. Sitting back on the stool, Gu He jumped up again, "Oh, I forgot to ask the master what kind of flame was used when he burned Medusa before." He was about to take a step forward to catch up, but immediately stopped. Strange fire is something that is rare to begin with, and without enough luck, one may not be able to encounter it. What's more, the Qinglian Earth Core Fire was right next to them at that time, so perhaps the fire used by the sect leader was some kind of beast fire. Gu He thought that he would be able to see Nie Yuan in the sect again in the future, so he was not in a hurry. What's more, if Nie Yuan really wanted to learn about alchemy, he would have to come back to ask him for advice sooner or later. …… "We've finally arrived at Mo City." At the city gate, Xiao Yan raised his head, looked at the name above, and exhaled, "Teacher, do we really have to refine pills for that guy?" "what happened?" Yao Lao's voice sounded in Xiao Yan's heart. Xiao Yan's eyes flickered, and he was a little worried. "Teacher has paid a lot to help me refine the strange fire this time. If I refine another pill, can I still hold on?" Xiao Yan had never swallowed a strange fire before, so he thought that as long as he was fully prepared, he would be safe. However, he nearly died and was burned into nothingness by the strange fire. Fortunately, Yao Lao acted in time and suppressed it with the help of Bone Spirit Cold Fire, and it was completed. Afterwards, Yao Lao was surprised that the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire was as violent as the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, but the energy inside it was so weak. "Ha ha……" Yao Lao laughed faintly, "Boy, it is because my soul power is seriously depleted that I need a Dou Huang to accompany you." "Teacher, let's go to Black Rock City again and ask Master Otto if we can collect some medicine to replenish soul power." Xiao Yan suggested. "talk later."
Yao Lao did not comment. He knew very well how rare medicines that were helpful to soul power were. At least in this barren northwestern region, he really didn't have much hope. …… In the ancient picture shop, Hai Bodong completely lost interest in drawing and looked at the door every day, eagerly waiting. At this moment, a young man's figure flashed and looked familiar. "Little brother, you are finally back, that..." Hai Bo rushed out from behind the counter like the east wind and rushed to the door. His words were interrupted as a pale yellow plant appeared. "Sand Mandragora..." "Emi, refining the medicine is no problem, but I have a condition, I hope you can agree to it." Xiao Yan raised the corners of his mouth. Hai Bodong nodded, "You go ahead." "Protect me for a while." Xiao Yan said seriously. Hai Bodong frowned slightly, "For a period of time, how long is it?" "Well, wait until I come down from Yunlan Sect." Xiao Yan thought about it and replied. "kill?" Hai Bodong looked probingly. Xiao Yan shook his head, "Go to the appointment." "make a deal!" Hai Bodong agreed immediately. A few days later, someone discovered that a store called "Gutu" in Mocheng had not been open for several days. (End of this chapter)
