"As for me … Why don't you take a guess?" Big Beard chuckled with a mysterious look on his face.
"I think …" Chu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Teacher will take over the bald mentor's duties and become the main hall elder in charge of monitoring the main hall, guarding the entire Medicine Palace."
"That's right, you really know me the best." Big Beard nodded heavily, "That's right, I've already received the consent of the three elders. Next, I'll take over the bald old man's position and become the new monitoring elder. One lifetime, two brothers. Now that he's gone, his wish to guard the Medicine Palace hasn't left. Let me fulfill it for him! "
"Come, let's have another drink. Cheers!" At the end of his speech, Big Beard seemed to recall the bald mentor who had passed away. A touch of sadness flashed across his eyes. He shook his head slightly and filled everyone's bowls with wine again.
They clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. Tang Rou looked around and suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She asked, "Oh right, mentor, why isn't sister Ming Yue here?"
"Oh, her." Big Beard smiled helplessly, "Her tears are shallow. She didn't want to be separated from you kids, so she went to do her own thing. Let's drink. Since we'll be separated tomorrow, we won't go home until we're drunk! "
"Cheers, we won't go home until we're drunk!"
They all nodded and raised the wine glasses in front of them again.
In the dead of night, after the entire Medicine Palace had fallen asleep, Shen Hou and Tang Rou were already dead drunk.
Tang Rou was better off. She lay on the table and slept soundly. Shen Hou directly fell to the ground, hugging a wine jar and refusing to let go. Wine jars were also scattered around him.
"Chu Chen, come here and talk."
Big Beard, whose face reeked of alcohol, sat on the threshold of the main hall and waved at Chu Chen. Chu Chen wheeled himself to the door of the main hall with some difficulty. There were very few stars in the sky and there was a special kind of desolation.
The cold night wind blew, causing Chu Chen to immediately shiver and sober up a little.
Big Beard leaned against the door frame, and Chu Chen's wheelchair was on the other side of the door.
As if by magic, Big Beard took out two more jars of wine from his storage ring and handed one to Chu Chen. "Drink!"
Without saying a word, Chu Chen slapped the clay seal with his palm and gulped it down.
"Good, as expected of my disciple."
Big Beard also picked up the wine in his hand and gulped it down.
Throughout the long night, the master and disciple did not speak. They just sat like this, drinking and watching the sparse stars in the night sky gradually fade away until a trace of white appeared on the horizon.
"Chu Chen." Big Beard wiped away the wine stains on his face.
"I'm awake." Chu Chen, who had been sitting in the wheelchair as if he had fallen asleep, opened his eyes.
"This time, you really did a good job. You helped me vent my anger!" Big Beard's face was filled with a gratified smile. "Although he escaped in the end, you became his inner demon. Even if his true strength has reached the Divine River Realm, once he meets you, his Taoist Heart will be shaken and may even be destroyed again. You are already his nightmare!"
"How long will it take for Xiao Ran to destroy the inner demon I left behind?" Chu Chen asked slowly.
"If it's fast, it'll take a year and a half. If it's slow, it may take two to three years."
"This means that I'll be safe for about one to two years. Once Xiao Ran can eliminate the inner demon, he will definitely seek revenge on me first," Chu Chen said unhurriedly.
"You can understand it that way. So you must use the fastest speed to improve your realm, otherwise you will be in danger." Big Beard sighed faintly. "But it's too difficult for you to fight with an expert of the Divine River Realm in one to two years. Forget it. If Xiao Ran comes to find you again, you should go back to the Medicine Palace. With the old man here, not to mention the Divine River Realm, even the Sea of Spirit Realm can't touch you."
"Master, I will do my best to improve my realm. I know what to do with Xiao Ran." Chu Chen said lightly. "But you, master, you should take care of yourself. The elders in the Monitoring Hall work hard. Once the Medicine Palace is attacked, the Monitoring Hall is likely to be the first target. It's very dangerous. Master, you have always been careless and wantonly, which makes people worry."
"Brat, don't worry. Who is the master, you or I? You don't have to worry. I'm an evil man. I won't die even if I live for a thousand years." Big Beard grinned and stood up.
"Master, where are you going?"
Big Beard ignored Chu Chen and strode straight into the darkness.
"Master …" Chu Chen wanted to follow, but found that his whole body was almost limp. He drank too much wine and couldn't even use his strength. He couldn't even turn his wheelchair, so he could only stay where he was.
When Big Beard was about to completely disappear into the darkness, he stopped. "Chu Chen, when you leave, I won't see you off. I'm going to stay by Brother Bald's grave for a few days."
"Okay."
"In the future, as the elder in charge of the Monitoring Hall, I must never leave the Medicine Palace. Before I officially take up the position, I will accompany Brother Bald." Big Beard suddenly turned his head, and a lonely smile appeared on his face. "Brat, quickly become strong. Strong enough that one day, you can avenge Brother Bald from Xiao Ran!"
Chu Chen's eyes shone brighter than the stars. "That day will come soon!"
Big Beard's figure quickly disappeared into the darkness, but his heroic and hoarse voice could faintly be heard coming from the front, carried by the wind.
"Let me sing a song with you, please listen to me … I hope you will be drunk forever and never wake up! Since ancient times, all the sages have been lonely, only the drinkers leave their names behind … "Colorful horses, a thousand gold cloaks, call children to exchange for good wine, with you to quench the sorrows of the ages …"
When Big Beard's voice gradually disappeared, the little hamster jumped onto Chu Chen's shoulder and looked at the last star in the sky that was about to fall in the west. "Little drunkard, we have to go on our way. Let's go to the Western Wilderness!"
In Pill City, people came and went, and there was an endless stream of horses and carriages.
In the center of Pill City, there was a huge black stone tablet. It was dozens of feet tall and stood tall for eternity, existing forever with the world.
It was said that when Pill City was first established, this huge stone tablet was jointly created by dozens of the world's strongest alchemy masters. It was used to stabilize the universe and suppress the fate of the alchemists.
Therefore, any alchemist in Pill City who wanted to go on an adventure or explore some ancient ruins liked to come to this huge stone tablet to burn incense and worship before it, hoping to receive the blessings of the ancient alchemy masters and turn misfortune into good fortune.
Therefore, as time passed, this giant monument became a symbol of the City of Dan.
No matter where the alchemists came from, they liked to come to this stone tablet and worship after coming to Pill City.
At this moment, in an area below the stone tablet, a group of cultivators wearing long robes was sitting cross-legged.
There were men and women, old and young in this group. They all wore very wide robes, and there was a hood on the shoulder of the robes, making them look very wide and thick.
