Although they were looking for the Metal of Ten-Thousand Poisons earlier than planned, Han Yunxi and the others still couldn't make it back in time to save Mu Ling 'er and the others.
In order to keep Jun Yi Xie in check, they could only wait. The Ning Clan troops also had another important task: taming those thirty thousand horses!
Long Fei Ye had never asked about the horses, but Han Yunxi had enough authority to do so. She'd asked twice since leaving Three-Way Black Market. Deputy General Xue had already taken care of the horse trainers Jun Yi Xie had sent and would soon begin taming the horses.
There was another important matter, and that was Bai Yanqing. It was often said that no news was good news, but this saying didn't apply to Bai Yanqing. Just because there was no news from Bai Yanqing didn't mean he wasn't making a move. Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye couldn't figure out what Bai Yanqing was planning.
If he was trying to drive a wedge between Eastern and Western Qin before, what was he up to now? Why did Bai Yanqing hate Eastern and Western Qin so much?
There were too many suspicious points about Bai Yanqing, just like the mysterious person in the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds. Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye had no clue what to do, but they couldn't ignore or forget about him.
They couldn't guard against Bai Yanqing, so they could only find the Fire of Ten-Thousand Poisons as soon as possible!
With Gu around, Long Fei Ye wouldn't mind luring Bai Yanqing out for a good fight once they found the Fire of Ten-Thousand Poisons!
"Alright, then let's wait a little longer," Han Yunxi agreed with Long Fei Ye's plan.
Gu seemed to be in a daze and didn't express his opinion. It wasn't until Long Fei Ye glanced at him that he came to his senses. "Alright, no problem."
Actually, he really didn't hear what Long Fei Ye said just now, so he just casually agreed.
"Do you have any news about the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons?" Long Fei Ye asked again.
"There's no news at all." Gu didn't start looking for it recently. He had been looking for it since a year ago. Unfortunately, there was no news at all.
In fact, if he hadn't heard of the Seven Evils Dagger, they probably wouldn't have found the Gold of Ten-Thousand Poisons this time.
Long Fei Ye had also sent the Shadow Guard to investigate, but the results were the same as Gu's.
"Is the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons a flame? Or is it some other form of heat? "Han Yunxi asked in confusion. She couldn't figure out how the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons could exist in such a form.
For example, the "fire" in the five elements was not just a flame, but a general term for heat energy.
Gu shook his head. He had some ideas about the previous four poisons, but he had no clue about the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons.
Was the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons an earthly fire, a heavenly fire, or a furnace fire? Was it a flame that had always been burning, or a flame that had yet to be ignited?
If it was a flame that had always been burning, then it would be easy to find it. If it wasn't a flame that had yet to be ignited, or if it wasn't an open flame, then it would be really difficult to find it.
"Let's rest for a few days and think about it carefully." It was rare for Gu to be so serious.
"Okay." Han Yunxi was also serious.
In this way, Han Yunxi and the others settled down in Qingchuan Water City. They inquired about the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons, paid attention to the situation in Northern Li, and also inquired about Bai Yanqing's whereabouts.
On this day, Han Yunxi suddenly received a letter from the Medicine Hut. After reading the letter, she immediately ran to Long Fei Ye in the courtyard excitedly.
"Long Fei Ye, good news! I have good news! "
Han Yunxi looked so excited that it was as if she had found the whereabouts of the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons.
Before Long Feiye could ask, Gu Qishao jumped down from the roof with a grin. "Poison lass, what's the good news to make you so happy?"
"Our Doctor Gu can be saved!" Han Yunxi was really happy, even happier than when she had found the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons.
"Really? Where did this news come from? "Long Fei Ye was also excited. He had asked many people to find the Dragon Pill, so he really couldn't guess who had delivered the good news.
"Who found the medicine? You're even faster than me. You're quite capable! "Gu was also smiling.
However, Han Yunxi's next words made him instantly freeze.
Han Yunxi said, "Old Man Of Alchemy. He didn't find the Dragon Pill, but he obtained the prescription to refine the Dragon Pill. He has also found a few ingredients, and he's only missing one thing. He needs our help to deliver it!"
Gu's smile instantly froze on his face. Long Fei Ye quickly asked, "What is it?"
"Wine! To refine the Dragon Pill, we need snow wine that has been aged for a hundred years. "Han Yunxi smiled." This thing … Ning Cheng should have it! "
The so-called snow wine was wine brewed using snow water as water.
Snow that had been accumulated for more than ten years was melted into water. After it had settled, the top layer of water was used to brew wine. This was ordinary snow wine. As for hundred-year-old snow wine, not only did it require the melted snow of more than a hundred years to brew, it also had to be sealed for more than a hundred years.
Many hundred-year-old wines on the market were actually fake. It was really difficult to find a bottle of genuine hundred-year-old wine. Needless to say, snow wine.
To drink good tea, look for Long Fei Ye; to take good medicine, look for Gu; to drink good wine, look for Ning Cheng!
"Xu Donglin, write a letter to Myriad Merchant Hall and ask." Long Fei Ye immediately ordered. Other than Han Yunxi's matter, he had rarely been so agitated.
"Xu Donglin, while you're at it, tell this news to Gu Beiyue!" Han Yunxi quickly added.
She was already looking forward to seeing Gu Beiyue's Shadow Art again. The white-clothed gentleman of the past was about to return! If the little thing knew this good news, it would definitely be very happy!
"Yes, this subordinate will do it right away!" Xu Donglin was also excited. Once Gu Beiyue recovered, His Highness and the princess would have another helping hand.
After Xu Donglin left, Han Yunxi turned around and realized that Gu had disappeared.
"Where is he?" Han Yunxi asked suspiciously.
Long Fei Ye didn't notice Gu slip away just now. He glanced at the roof, but didn't see Gu's figure.
Han Yunxi then remembered something. She muttered, "Could it be …"
Long Fei Ye immediately understood what Han Yunxi was talking about. He only said two words, "Let him be."
Han Yunxi remembered nothing else but the matter of the Old Man Of Alchemy asking her to find a disciple. The Old Man Of Alchemy said that if Han Yunxi could help him find a disciple, he would give the entire Alchemy Furnace to Han Yunxi.
Back then, there was an agreement in black and white. Han Yunxi had kept the contract with her all this time. At that time, Han Yunxi suspected that the "Little Madman" that the Old Man Of Alchemy was looking for was Gu. She tried to sound him out twice, but Gu avoided her both times. She didn't try again.
She wouldn't force Gu to do anything for the sake of an Alchemy Furnace.
Three days later, Han Yunxi received a reply from Myriad Merchant Hall's First Elder. Ning Cheng's wine cellar did indeed have hundred-year-old snow wine. Moreover, it wasn't just one jar, but three jars!
Although they couldn't get Ning Cheng's consent, both Han Yunxi and the First Elder decided to act first and report later.
When Han Yunxi told the Old Man Of Alchemy about the hundred-year-old snow wine and was about to arrange for someone to deliver it, the Old Man Of Alchemy sent a letter with an unexpected request.
The Old Man Of Alchemy wanted Han Yunxi to stay in the Alchemy Furnace for three years to serve his great Alchemy Furnace. Otherwise, not only would he not know how to refine pills, he would also destroy the pill recipe.
At this time, everyone remembered the rules of the Medicine Requesting Cave. It was never easy to obtain medicine from the Medicine Requesting Cave.
"Damn it!" Han Yunxi's good mood completely disappeared.
When she begged the Old Man Of Alchemy to find the Dragon Pill, she seriously asked for the conditions again and again. That old madman was easy to negotiate. He said that old friends didn't need to be so particular. He even said that he would do his best to help them find the Medicinal Pills. Long Fei Ye didn't feel at ease and had her write another letter to clearly state the conditions.
In the end, the Old Man Of Alchemy made two requests. The first was for Han Yunxi to thoroughly investigate the effects of the Dragon Pill. The second was for Han Yunxi to take a few of her precious poisons.
Although there was no contract between them, Han Yunxi still kept all the letters they'd exchanged in the past!
She knew that the Alchemy Hut Old Man had a strange temperament and was temperamental. However, temper wasn't an excuse to go back on his word!
Who would have thought that the old madman would make such an unreasonable request and want her to serve the great Alchemy Furnace?
Could it be that the old madman still held a grudge against her for threatening to destroy the great Alchemy Furnace in the Medicine Requesting Cave?
"Don't even think about it!" Long Fei Ye said.
When they went to ask for medicine back then, they were still afraid of the power of Medicine Hut and Medicine City. But now, in the eyes of Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi, Medicine City and Medicine Hut were no longer unshakable.
Medical City had long been under the control of Gu Beiyue. In the past two years, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had joined forces with the Medicine Ghost Valley to cultivate some real power in Medicine City. They no longer had to rely on Medicine City in the medicinal market.
"Xu Donglin, tell the Old Man Of Alchemy that we've already agreed on the conditions for him to find the medicine. If he comes back with any more requests, it'll be blackmail! There's a price to pay for blackmailing this princess! Tell him to refine the Medicinal Pills within ten days, or else … "
Han Yunxi was pondering how to threaten the Old Man Of Alchemy in a way that would have deterrence when Long Fei Ye bluntly said, "Or else, this prince will personally destroy his Alchemy Furnace!"
Long Fei Ye's threat directly hit the Old Man Of Alchemy's vital point!
"Yes!" Xu Donglin obeyed and left.
Gu sat on the roof and looked at them with raised brows, not saying a word.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye soon received a reply from the Old Man Of Alchemy. The Old Man Of Alchemy replied with two words: "No way!"
Long Fei Ye had never received such a simple yet provocative letter in his life. Han Yunxi looked at the two large words in the letter and was a bit stunned.
She knew that they would have to personally make a trip to the Alchemy Furnace.
Long Fei Ye coldly said, "Xu Donglin, bring brush and ink!"
Xu Donglin quickly brought over the brush and ink. Long Fei Ye raised the brush and wrote two words: "Seeking death!"
After the letter was sent out, Long Fei Ye immediately gave the order, "Prepare the carriage. We're going to the medicinal hut."
He looked at Gu and Gu immediately jumped off the roof with an indifferent expression. He laughed and said, "I haven't been to Medicine City in a long time. I miss the medicinal fragrance there."
Long Fei Ye's face was cold as he said in a low voice, "The old man from the medicinal hut didn't keep his word first. It's best if you don't interfere in this matter!"
A complicated look flashed in Gu's eyes, but he continued to play dumb, "He, he, what does it have to do with this elder? For Gu Beiyue's sake, this elder will go with you. We've already agreed that this elder will go to the medicinal hut. The Medicine Requesting Cave is too smelly, this elder won't go in! "
