The Three Decrements of Alchemy
Long Chen and Jian Shisan came to Nine Yang City again.
Just as they arrived at the central plaza, they heard that Ouyang Yun had already become a guest of the Shuang Clan.
The people around them mocked them, and no one paid attention to them anymore.
They all thought that they had purposely waited for Ouyang Yun to leave the Pill Assembly before returning.
Jian Shisan frowned and said, "That Ouyang Yun actually left. What should we do?"
Ouyang Yun obviously did not believe that Long Chen could cure his old illness. He only thought that Long Chen said that to get away.
Seeing the gazes of the people around them, Jian Shisan was very displeased.
Long Chen stood behind him, but his expression did not change. After a while, he smiled and said, "Since you and I are here, someone will naturally pass the news to him."
The two of them sat in their seats and did not refine pills.
Time passed by slowly …
Although the people around them knew that Long Chen had some skills, they were very disdainful of him pretending to be a God-Level Alchemist.
From late in the morning to late in the evening, no one spoke to the two of them.
"What's wrong with these two? Ouyang Yun gave them a way out. Could it be that they really think they are important?"
"Pretending to be a God-Level Alchemist is simply an insult to us. If not, based on the strength of his eyes yesterday, the great clans would not have ignored him!"
"They are not here to join the great clans. They are here to take in disciples … Find a disciple to cheat with? Haha. "
…
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the people who were participating in the Pill Assembly were about to leave.
However, not long after everyone had walked out, they actually all turned back in unison …
"Haha, Alchemist Ouyang Yun is back. This time, those two fellows will probably find an excuse to leave."
"Let's go and watch the show. I want to see how that old and young pair will put their faces."
"I gave him a way out yesterday, but he still doesn't know when to back down."
Everyone sneered as they stared playfully at Long Chen and Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun walked over under the crowd's escort. Her face darkened slightly.
When he arrived in front of Long Chen, he frowned and said, "Why have you come here? If it wasn't for someone informing me, wouldn't the various clans think that I'm an untrustworthy person?"
"Senior, you should know when to advance and when to retreat. There's no need to make everyone look bad."
Ouyang Yun was also a little unhappy. Originally, he didn't come here today to give Long Chen and Long Chen a way out. He didn't expect that the two of them would stay here for another day.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, everyone seemed to be waiting for Long Chen and his companion to leave with their tails between their legs.
However, Long Chen coughed lightly and said, "You're not someone who goes back on his words. Isn't this old man also …"
"I've brought the solution. If you don't believe me, you can leave."
When Jian Shisan saw Long Chen's appearance, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
It had to be said that Long Chen was really good at pretending to be an old man. If the two of them were familiar with each other, they probably wouldn't be able to tell.
When Ouyang Yun heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He said in a low voice, "I've already given you enough face. Even if you let me leave now, do you think they'll treat you as a God-tier alchemist?"
Ouyang Yun obviously thought that Long Chen and Long Chen were insatiable and wanted him to leave.
"Alchemist Ouyang, don't give this person any more face. Just accept it and see. I want to know how this person will get out of this situation!"
"Although there's no one presiding over the city's Pill Assembly, we can't tolerate such nonsense. If he can't cure your illness, we won't let him leave unscathed today!"
"Alchemist Ouyang once said that even a God-tier alchemist can't cure your illness. If he can cure it, then there's really a ghost …"
Under the urging of the people around, Ouyang Yun saw that Long Chen's expression was indifferent.
He frowned and said in a low voice, "Since you insist, then let's do it. I want to see how you're going to cure this illness!"
Long Chen slowly stood up and said, "Your illness is indeed caused by medicinal pills. It's true that only a God-tier alchemist can see the cure …"
"If I'm not wrong, your luck when you were forty years old was really bad."
Ouyang Yun asked, "Why?"
"Since ancient times, when alchemy was at its peak, there was a saying about the Pill Dao's Three Blights. Do you know about it?" Long Chen continued to ask.
Ouyang Yun shook his head, but his frown deepened.
He had never heard a God-tier alchemist mention this when he went to the Alchemist Association Headquarters.
Long Chen seemed to have expected this. He ignored the disdainful and doubtful looks of the people around him and continued to speak.
"Alchemists fuse the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, refining the fortune into a cauldron and condensing the fortune into a pill. Therefore, they are envied by the heavens and have three blights."
"The first blight is the flesh!"
"The second blight is the bones!"
"The third blight is the soul!"
"However, after ancient times, alchemy was weak, and the rules of alchemy no longer existed. The Three Blights have long been annihilated … and you."
"You just happened to have extremely bad luck to encounter the Three Blights of alchemy that have long disappeared."
Long Chen's words were like the evening drum and morning bell. When he finished speaking, the people around him were absent-minded.
Ouyang Yun subconsciously asked, "Senior, is this true …"
Long Chen smiled but did not speak. He continued, "If I'm not wrong, you should have been refining pills when you got this illness. Moreover, you should have been close to breaking through."
"Because of the old illness in your chest, only your flesh and blood are like this. Your bones are not damaged at all."
"Moreover, your whole body is like being slowly cooked. Once you start refining pills, the symptoms will worsen."
Ouyang Yun fell to his knees. Long Chen's words were exactly the same as what the God-tier alchemist said that day!
"Senior, please save me!"
Ouyang Yun couldn't help but tremble. He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
The people around him were stunned speechless.
Long Chen's lips curled into a smile. He said calmly, "If you believe me, then take this pill."
Long Chen waved his hand, and a pill bottle landed in front of Ouyang Yun.
The moment the pill bottle appeared, a foul stench suddenly spread. There were even traces of dark green in the air, like poisonous snakes.
This medicinal pill and the medicinal fragrance left behind when everyone was refining medicinal pills during the day were like heaven and earth.
The people around covered their mouths and noses and retreated.
Even Ouyang Yun's expression changed drastically.
"This person is so ruthless. If this poisonous pill is taken, I'm afraid it will turn into a pool of blood in an instant!"
"Alchemist Ouyang, don't listen to this person. This pill is extremely poisonous. Not to mention taking it, I'm afraid the flesh and blood will rot just by touching it!"
"What Three Blights of alchemy? I saw that this person left yesterday to investigate Alchemist Ouyang. He's spouting nonsense today!"
…
Ouyang Yun's expression changed again and again after hearing what everyone said.
Long Chen was still incomparably calm. He only stared at Ouyang Yun and said, "There are only two ways to cure your illness. The first is to die. The second is to never touch any pills in this life, let alone refine pills."
"If you believe me, this pill is your only chance."
