From that day onwards, Ye Chong's life became hectic. His days were packed to the brim, as if Lunatic Guan was trying to find out Ye Chong's limits. For the first time, Ye Chong realized that being an alchemist required a lot of stamina. If it were not for his superior stamina, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
Ye Chong once again surprised Lunatic Guan. His frail body seemed to have extraordinary stamina, as if he was always full of energy. Besides, he had a high level of understanding, and learned quickly. His slender and fair hands were nimble, as if he was born to be an alchemist. Even Lunatic Guan was envious of him. In order to "torture" Ye Chong, Lunatic Guan also sacrificed her own time. She drank less than before, and most of the time, she even forgot about drinking. Of course, Ye Chong was not stupid enough to remind her. Gradually, Lunatic Guan forgot her original intention, and taught Ye Chong more and more seriously. Unbeknownst to herself, she had already treated Ye Chong as her real student!
One taught hard, and the other learned hard. Ye Chong improved rapidly!
Ye Chong could finally breathe a sigh of relief, as this period of learning was finally over. Lunatic Guan had given him a few days off. Ye Chong was now fully capable of making strengthening potions, since for a real alchemist, knowing the formula was a piece of cake. From the old man's point of view, Ye Chong's learning mission was completed.
It was a rare moment of relief, and Ye Chong enjoyed this rare moment of leisure. He used some small bones to carve something, to practice his skills. However, don't expect Ye Chong to have any artistic talent, since he was carving a mech model. Ye Chong did not bring his own carving knife, so he used the dagger Gu Shaoze gave him.
Ye Chong looked at his work with satisfaction, and put the dagger back into his waist bag. Suddenly, he saw the Red Wine he took from the little girl in his bag, and recalled the various information Mu had about the stone, and Ye Chong could not help but be interested.
"Shang, Mu said that the Red Wine will change color when it comes in contact with alcohol, is that true?"
"Hmm, according to the database, it should be true! Besides, you can just experiment and you'll know! "Shang said casually.
"Yes, experiment and you'll know. Hmm, alcohol, Lunatic Guan should have a lot here!" Would Lunatic Guan lack alcohol? Of course not.
Ye Chong found Lunatic Guan leaning against the door, sitting on the floor with a glass of wine in her hand, staring blankly outside the door.
"Lend me your wine!" Ye Chong felt it was better to ask directly. While they were both teachers, Ye Chong could not treat Lunatic Guan the same way he treated the old man. Perhaps it was because of their age.
"Wine?" Lunatic Guan, who was awakened by Ye Chong, turned her head and looked at Ye Chong in astonishment. She must have thought that Ye Chong's wine had caught her off guard. When her eyes swept past Ye Chong's right hand, Lunatic Guan's pupils dilated abruptly, and her breathing became heavier!
Could it be that she knew Jiu Piaohong? The question flashed across Ye Chong's mind. With his sharp eyes, Ye Chong saw Lunatic Guan's hand tremble, and a few drops of wine spilled out. Almost at the same time, Ye Chong took a small step forward, his right hand stretched out like lightning.
Splat! One of the drops landed on Ye Chong's Crimson Bleach. In the blink of an eye, the seemingly dull Crimson Bleach began to glow with a faint red, as if it was drunk. Then, a faint red blush spread out like water ripples. In an instant, the red blush covered the entire stone. The droplet-shaped Crimson Bleach now looked like a pale red jade, warm and lovely.
The change did not stop there. The red blush deepened, and in a few short minutes, the Crimson Bleach had turned from a pale red to an unusually enchanting deep red. The entire pendant looked like a drop of fresh blood, delicate and alluring.
Ye Chong, who was fully focused on the Crimson Bleach, did not notice the drastic change in Lunatic Guan's expression following the change of the Crimson Bleach in his hand! Lunatic Guan stared at the Crimson Bleach in Ye Chong's hand, her face was full of disbelief.
Holding the Crimson Bleach in his hand, Ye Chong could feel the Crimson Bleach in his hand, as if it had come alive. It was actually warm, like a droplet of half-solidified blood jelly. Ye Chong could not help but feel amazed in his heart. It was indeed amazing! He didn't know if this thing would have any other magical effects that were worth looking forward to.
Just then, Ye Chong caught a whiff of a faint fragrance. He could not help but be stunned. The changes mentioned by Mu did not mention fragrance. Ye Chong brought the necklace to his nose. Hmm, not a pendant. Hmm, so it's this old looking rope. But the smell was really nice, and it gave off a sense of peace.
"Smells good, isn't it? Don't underestimate this rope, it's made of sky lantern grass. It's very sturdy, and when it comes in contact with heat, it will emit a calming fragrance. It's quite hard to find! "Lunatic Guan's voice drifted over.
"Sky lantern grass?" Ye Chong lifted his head, and was shocked to find Lunatic Guan's pale face, her eyes fixed on the necklace in Ye Chong's hand.
What's wrong with her? Ye Chong was puzzled. While he did not know what was going on, he could see that Lunatic Guan was not normal.
"Sky lantern grass is a plant unique to planet Guang Hua. In the local area, people believe that it represents peace and good luck, so they like to use it as an ornament. Among the local alchemists, it's also an excellent material. " Lunatic Guan's plain voice echoed in the room, her eyes never leaving the necklace in Ye Chong's hand.
Ye Chong reached out his hand and handed the necklace to Lunatic Guan.
Lunatic Guan hesitated for a moment, as if she was struggling. Her eyes gradually became misty, and finally like a full pond, tears rolled down her pale cheeks silently. Her lips were pale from excessive force. She reached out her trembling right hand, and slowly approached the necklace in Ye Chong's right hand.
When her fingertips touched the teardrop-shaped Crimson Wine, Ye Chong, with his sharp senses, felt her body tremble. Ye Chong finally understood that the necklace was closely related to Lunatic Guan.
Lunatic Guan took the necklace from Ye Chong's hand, and could no longer hold it in. She covered her mouth with her left hand, and began to sob.
Ye Chong left quietly.
Ye Chong returned to his room, and was talking to Shang.
"Shang, do you know what's going on?" Ye Chong was the first to express his confusion. From the beginning to the end, he was confused.
"Based on her behavior, this necklace probably has a deep relationship with her!" Shang's reply was weak.
"Relationship?" Ye Chong still could not figure it out.
"Most likely it's her family or something."
"Her family? How do you know? "Ye Chong was puzzled.
"Sigh, you can't even understand such a simple question? Sigh, that's right, a guy like you would never spend time watching movies and stuff like that, it's normal that you don't understand! But, do you have any better ideas? "Shang's tone was sarcastic.
"No!" Ye Chong's reply was abnormally straightforward.
"That's it then!"
"Shang, are you sure you're alright?" Ye Chong asked with concern. He was used to Shang's incessant chatter, and the sudden silence made Ye Chong feel uncomfortable.
"Problem? I'll have a problem? The probability is very small, and even a logical error that would be fatal to a normal PSI is not completely fatal to me. So, Ye, you don't have to worry about this. As for my current state, it's because Mu and I are trying to restore some of the damaged data, and 90% of the photon processor's resources are spent on that, "Shang explained.
"Damaged data? Preserved from before? "Ye Chong asked.
"Yes, we found that some of them could be restored, so we began to try some methods to restore them, but it seems like the results are not very good!"
"Oh, don't be too hasty!" Ye Chong could only comfort him.
Knock, knock! Someone knocked on the door.
With Ye Chong's sharp hearing, he had already heard Lunatic Guan's footsteps. Her knocking on the door surprised Ye Chong, as if barging in was more like her habit.
He lifted his head, and saw Lunatic Guan entering the room, her eyes red and swollen, her face still streaked with tears. "Where did you get this necklace?" Lunatic Guan asked as soon as she entered the room.
Where did I get it? Ye Chong was about to answer, but he suddenly realized that she would know about his relationship with the Guardian. Ye Chong cautiously chose to remain silent. Ye Chong could not trust Lunatic Guan like he trusted Old Man Hei Zi.
"Tell me!" Lunatic Guan panicked as she saw Ye Chong's silence.
Ye Chong remained silent, as he understood that this was the best way to protect himself.
A strange look flashed across Lunatic Guan's eyes, as if something had flashed by. She sighed softly, "Are you really not going to tell me?"
Ye Chong, who was still planning to remain silent, suddenly realized that the scene before him was getting blurry. Various colors were swirling around him, and Shang's anxious voice seemed to come from a faraway place. Ye Chong was even at a loss, not knowing what was going on. He was about to call for Shang, but his vision went dark, and he passed out.
Lunatic Guan looked at Ye Chong on the floor, and sighed softly, "Little Ye, I didn't want this to happen, but if you won't tell me, I'll have to do it myself!"
Lunatic Guan immediately closed all the doors outside, and ignored the unconscious Ye Chong on the floor. She walked quickly into the innermost room, and carefully took out a few bottles of reagents from the corner of the counter.
Lunatic Guan concentrated, her hands moving in a dazzling manner. If Ye Chong was awake, he would be amazed by Lunatic Guan's skillful and exquisite movements. Soon, a bottle of light purple reagent appeared before her.
She held the reagent bottle carefully, and under the light, a few thin silver lines appeared in the light purple glow.
"It should be right!" Lunatic Guan muttered to herself.
She walked quickly to Ye Chong, squatted down, and placed the reagent bottle before Ye Chong's nose. She opened the bottle, and a light purple mist rose from the bottle, mixed with tiny specks of silver light. The mist slithered into Ye Chong's nostrils like a snake.
Lunatic Guan's blurred eyes flashed apologetically, but it was soon replaced by a certain determination.
