As soon as Long Fei Ye said to set the place on fire, the King Of Medicine realized that Han Yunxi and the others had come with ill intentions!
Although the Alchemy Furnace was part of the Medicine Hut, the King Of Medicine and the Old Man Of Alchemy had always minded their own business. As long as Han Yunxi and the others didn't come for him, the King Of Medicine was happy to watch a good show. Back then, he had also suffered in the Alchemy Furnace.
As soon as Long Fei Ye gave the order, the Shadow Guards immediately took action.
They had come prepared this time. It wasn't easy to enter the Medicine Requesting Cave and see the Medicine Hut Old Man. Even though they had already passed three checkpoints in the Medicine Requesting Cave last time, they would still encounter three more checkpoints this time. The obstacles would definitely be different from before.
Therefore, there were only two ways to meet the Medicine Hut Old Man in the quickest and easiest way. One was to reveal their identity and let the Medicine Hut Old Man let them pass. The other was to force the Medicine Hut Old Man out.
The first way was for them to go in and see the Old Man Of Alchemy. The second way was for the Old Man Of Alchemy to come out and see them. This time, they weren't here to ask for medicine. They were here to collect a debt. Naturally, the Old Man Of Alchemy would come out, not them.
No matter how many checkpoints there were in the Medicine Requesting Cave, as long as they set fire to the front and back of the cave, the people inside would have no choice but to escape.
The Shadow Guards quickly piled up firewood at the entrance of the Medicine Requesting Cave. Long Fei Ye personally lit the fire. Not long after, the fire was burning. The flames soared into the sky and black smoke billowed.
Xu Donglin personally checked the fire and adjusted the firewood according to the wind. After the fire burned for a while, the billowing black smoke rushed into the Medicine Requesting Cave.
"Go and guard the back of the cave?" Long Fei Ye ordered. After Xu Donglin left, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi personally guarded this place.
The King Of Medicine watched from the side. He stroked his beard and smiled treacherously. He didn't know how the Old Man Of Alchemy had offended Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye. He was only glad that he didn't force them. Otherwise, with Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye's current ability, he wouldn't have a good time. He was Han Yunxi's master in name. Now, it seemed that he had profited.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye stood side by side beside the bonfire. Han Yunxi had her arms crossed while Long Fei Ye had his hands behind his back.
Although Han Yunxi wasn't tall, her spine was always straight. The aura she exuded from her slender back was enough to intimidate even men.
Long Fei Ye didn't need to say much. He just stood there casually, but his domineering aura was enough to look down on all heroes and look down on the world.
They looked at the billowing smoke with expressionless faces. They didn't smile.
Gu sat on a tree nearby and also stared at the billows of smoke. However, his gaze was a little sluggish, as if he was in a daze.
The firewood burned more vigorously and faster. Thick smoke flowed into the cave continuously. The Shadow Guards kept adding firewood. Time passed unknowingly.
The Shadow Guards at the back of the cave came to report twice that everything was going smoothly.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye had been to the Medicine Requesting Cave before. They knew how dangerous it was, so they weren't in a hurry.
But who would have thought that after two whole hours of smoke, not a single person had escaped from the Medicine Requesting Cave.
This … What was going on?
"Is there something fishy in the cave?" Han Yunxi whispered.
As soon as she finished speaking, something strange happened. The black smoke that was slowly flowing in suddenly surged in, as if some kind of energy was being sucked in by the cave.
"It's very fishy." Long Fei Ye was surprised, but he wasn't in a hurry.
Gu was a little restless. He couldn't sit comfortably even after changing several sitting positions. He decided to just squat on a tree branch. His long and narrow eyes blinked, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, Xu Donglin personally rushed over. When he saw the situation at the cave entrance, he immediately reported, "Your Highness, it's the same at the back of the cave. What should we do?"
"Understood." Long Fei Ye was very calm.
The smoke attack was just a way for them to probe. Han Yunxi took out a bottle of poison and handed it to Xu Donglin. "Add it to the fire and burn it."
The poison would enter the Medicine Requesting Cave with the smoke and then spread in the air. Although there were many stone doors in the Medicine Requesting Cave, smoke was different from other things. It could pass through any small gap and fill the entire Medicine Requesting Cave.
Unless the Medicine Requesting Cave had a poison storage space that could absorb the poison in the air, no matter what was fishy about the Medicine Requesting Cave, everyone in the cave would be poisoned.
Han Yunxi's poison would definitely cause everyone inside to run out to seek the antidote!
Xu Donglin took the poison and was about to leave when the silent Gu suddenly jumped down from the tree. "Wait!"
Xu Donglin naturally stopped. Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye exchanged glances. Just as they were about to speak, Long Fei Ye beat them to it.
He said, "I already said that this has nothing to do with you! No matter who it is, anyone who goes back on their word will have to pay the price! "Gu's face was tense as he looked at Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi's expression was even more serious than his. "Whether this succeeds or fails, it has nothing to do with you."
Han Yunxi's words were even more blunt than Long Fei Ye's. If they destroyed the Medicine Requesting Cave, that was their problem. It had nothing to do with Gu. If they couldn't do anything to the Old Man Of Alchemy, they wouldn't ask Gu for help.
Gu's face was still tense and he didn't say anything. No one could figure out what he was thinking. What was he trying to do?
"Xu Donglin, why aren't you leaving?" Long Fei Ye's voice was cold.
Gu extended his long arm to block Xu Donglin. That stern expression of his changed instantly into a bright smile. "How is this not my problem?"
This guy … was going to interfere? Was he going to help or stop him?
If he wanted to help, how was he going to help? Why should the Old Man Of Alchemy give him face?
If he wanted to stop him? How could he face Gu Beiyue?
Regarding this matter, his wisest choice was to stay aside!
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi still couldn't figure it out, but Gu said loudly, "Gu Beiyue's problem is my problem! This time, I want the Dragon Pill for sure! Don't poison that Alchemy Furnace. Come, I'll bring you in! "
So, Gu wanted to help them?
If this guy was really the Little Madman that the Old Man Of Alchemy was looking for, then there must be a reason why he didn't look for Master for so many years. Every time someone mentioned him, he would avoid him.
If he helped them now, would he be admitting his identity?
"We can handle it! As long as you hand over the Dragon Pill, I'll definitely cure the poison! "Han Yunxi said softly. She didn't want Gu to force her.
However, Gu laughed even more impudently and arrogantly. He said, "Poison Girl, if you're tricked, then I, Gu, am the one who's being tricked! Anyway, I'm going to take care of this matter. If you're not going in, I'll go in myself! "
Gu didn't give Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye a chance to object. He ran into the cave like a wisp of smoke, his figure disappearing into the darkness.
"Everyone, stay on guard!" Long Fei Ye instructed Xu Donglin, then pulled Han Yunxi and chased after him.
They quickly caught up to Gu. Gu turned back to look at them and said with a smile, "Follow me closely. Don't get lost."
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye both noticed that there was no sign of smoke or fire in the Medicine Requesting Cave. They didn't ask Gu Qishao anything, but followed him silently.
Since Gu wanted to enter, they didn't have the right or need to stop him.
From what they remembered, the first time they came in, they met a medicine boy who wanted them to appraise the medicine. They would only be let in if they succeeded.
Indeed, not long after, a medicine boy came out of the darkness in front of them with a tray in his hand.
The fire and smoke incident didn't seem to affect anyone in the Medicine Requesting Cave. The medicine boy didn't mention the smoke incident to them. Just like the last time, he was expressionless and his tone was stiff. Even his words were the same.
"As long as you can identify the medicine in here within the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, you may continue to move forward. Otherwise, you will have to stay in the Medicine Hut for the rest of your lives. Violators will be cursed and be plagued with all kinds of illnesses with no cure." Han Yunxi's Detox System didn't identify the medicine immediately. This was because the medicine boy didn't bring out medicine this time, but Medicinal Pills.
Han Yunxi really wasn't familiar with Medicinal Pills!
The medicine boy didn't care if they were ready or not. He stood five steps away from them and picked up a Medicinal Pills, showing them to them in the palm of his hand.
Han Yunxi could barely identify the ingredients of some Medicinal Pills. It was really difficult for her to name them. Long Fei Ye didn't have much to say. This wasn't his strong suit.
Long Fei Ye crossed his arms and looked like a bystander. Since Gu wanted to enter, the task naturally had to be handed over to Gu.
Han Yunxi looked at Gu with a learning attitude, waiting for Gu to show his skills. Who knew …
Who knew that Gu would suddenly rush over, snatch all the Medicinal Pills from the medicine boy, and throw them to Han Yunxi. "Poison Girl, these are for you!"
Han Yunxi caught the Medicinal Pills. Before she could react, Long Fei Ye had taken them all away.
The medicine boy was frightened. He pointed at Gu and shouted, "You, you … you will be cursed! You will be plagued with all kinds of diseases, and there will be no medicine to cure you! "
Gu's lips curled into a disdainful sneer. He picked up the medicine boy and replied in a very arrogant tone, "Cursed? I'm scared to death! "
After he finished speaking, he casually threw the medicine boy to the side and kicked open the stone door in front of them.
Han Yunxi realized for the first time that Gu had such a domineering side to him!
Han Yunxi remembered that in the second stage last time, everyone had fallen sick and were beyond cure. In the end, it was Gu Beiyue who cured everyone.
What would they encounter in the second stage this time? Would they also fall sick?
Needless to say, Han Yunxi was a little worried. Curing diseases was not Gu's strong point. They walked forward in the cave and didn't find anything strange.
At this time, the Old Man Of Alchemy was sitting on the Alchemy Furnace, listening to a servant report the situation of the first stage.
"What's the name of the guy who snatched the Medicinal Pills?" the Old Man Of Alchemy asked.
"His name is Gu. He is the illegitimate son of the former president of the Medical City, Gu Yuntian. He is the owner of the Medicine Ghost Valley." The servant only knew so much.
The Old Man Of Alchemy's face was gloomy. "No matter who he is, he dares to snatch the Medicinal Pills from the Old Man. Kill him without mercy!"
Han Yunxi and the others passed the second stage last time. This time, it would not be so easy. Moreover, the medical expert, Gu Beiyue, didn't come with them. He wanted to see how long Gu could be arrogant!
The Old Man Of Alchemy thought so. However, what Gu did in the second stage made him fall directly from the high Alchemy Furnace …
