While everyone was talking, Aunt Ru suddenly laughed and praised Han Yunxi again.
She said, "Princess, I didn't expect you to have the ability to invite the Old Man Of Alchemy over! As expected of a princess, you have a lot of face! Aunt Ru, I admire you! "
"In my opinion, other than the princess, the Old Man Of Alchemy won't give face to anyone else in this world."
Aunt Ru said and gave an exaggerated thumbs-up, "Amazing, amazing!"
Aunt Ru didn't know about the true friendship between Han Yunxi and the Old Man Of Alchemy, nor did she know what they went through in the Medicine Requesting Cave.
Aunt Ru was just taking the opportunity to praise Han Yunxi and put her on a pedestal, waiting for her to fall.
The higher one was put on a pedestal, the harder it would be to fall, right?
According to Aunt Ru's understanding, even the dean of Medical City's Medical School had personally invited her, but the Old Man Of Alchemy had ignored him. Although Han Yunxi had asked for medicine and pills in the Medicine Requesting Cave, she didn't have such a deep friendship with the Old Man Of Alchemy that she could make the Old Man Of Alchemy make an exception!
Aunt Ru said and smiled, looking at Han Yunxi, waiting for this brat to be humble and awkwardly explain to her.
She couldn't do anything to this brat, but she wouldn't let go of this opportunity. This time, she had to suppress her arrogance!
The people around them who knew the truth didn't say anything. Han Yunxi looked at Aunt Ru and sneered in her heart.
It seemed that if she didn't completely crush Aunt Ru today, Aunt Ru would come to bother her in the future.
Han Yunxi said Coldly, "Aunt Ru, what do you mean by that?"
Aunt Ru obviously knew that Han Yunxi could tell that she was up to no good. She played dumb and said innocently, "Princess, I'm just praising you. I don't mean anything else. Please don't misunderstand."
Han Yunxi said coldly, "So you're saying that you looked down on this princess before? Aunt Ru, when did this princess offend you? Why do you look down on this princess? You said this princess is capable now, so does that mean this princess was not capable before? "
Aunt Ru smiled apologetically. "No, no, I'm more capable now! If it weren't for the princess, who would be able to invite the Old Man Of Alchemy out? "
"That's true!" Han Yunxi graciously accepted Aunt Ru's' praise '. "Without this princess, you wouldn't even be able to find the earth fire! Not to mention inviting Dan Lao over! Aunt Ru, at least you know what's good for you. You know what this princess is capable of! "
Hearing this, Aunt Ru was dumbfounded.
She almost didn't understand the meaning behind Han Yunxi's words.
She had praised Han Yunxi so highly, but Han Yunxi did not give herself a way out. Instead, she was showing off. Was this stinky girl not afraid of falling to her death?
Aunt Ru pursed her lips and said, "Hehe, then I'll wait for the princess to invite the Old Man Of Alchemy over. I've heard of the Old Man Of Alchemy for a long time, but I've never seen him in person. This time, it's all thanks to the princess's good fortune. I wonder when the princess will be able to invite the Old Man Of Alchemy over? "
Han Yunxi looked towards Long Fei Ye. Just as she was about to speak, Long Fei Ye said, "The Old Man Of Alchemy has already set off with the heavenly fire. It will take him at least seven days to travel from the medicinal hut to the Tang Sect. "
Han Yunxi originally wanted to ask Long Fei Ye to send someone to invite the Old Man Of Alchemy over. She didn't expect that the Old Man Of Alchemy would come before them.
This wasn't for her face, but for Gu's. But against the irritating Aunt Ru, she could only borrow Gu Qishao's face.
She told Aunt Ru, "Then you can wait a few days! Once you see the Old Man Of Alchemy, you'll have nothing to do with it. "
Han Yunxi was implying that after seeing the Old Man Of Alchemy, Aunt Ru should go back to guard the tomb.
Aunt Ru had long been stupefied. She didn't expect Han Yunxi to have such skills. Just how did this stinky girl get on good terms with the Old Man Of Alchemy? How did she do it?
She stared blankly at Han Yunxi and suddenly realized that the girl in front of her was no longer the same Han Yunxi who only knew poisons. She had a noble status, her martial arts were strong, and she had a wide network of connections. She no longer needed to hide under Feiye's protection, but could stand on her own!
In the past two years, Han Yunxi had grown so much. But what about her? For the past two years, she'd been trapped in the mountains guarding the tomb. Aside from obsessing over the enmity between Eastern and Western Qin, she'd done nothing else! She'd even forgotten about the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
She was still stupid enough to treat Han Yunxi as the useless "Han Clan daughter" who only knew poisons?
Aunt Ru finally realized how laughable and senseless she'd been. She also realized that she was lying to herself! No matter how unwilling she was, she had to face the truth: Han Yunxi was worthy of Feiye. Feiye had been right to choose Han Yunxi over Duanmu Yao.
Aunt Ru didn't say anything else. She bowed to Long Fei Ye and left.
After Aunt Ru left, Gu Qishao suddenly blurted out, "She's finally gone. So annoying!"
Tang Li felt a little awkward and pretended not to hear. Long Feiye didn't say a word from start to finish. This was the Tang Clan, where his imperial father and mother were buried. Aunt Ru had the status of an elder, so it wasn't appropriate for him to say too much. Moreover, Han Yunxi's words and actions didn't disappoint him, much less make him lose face.
For the next few days, they didn't see Aunt Ru at all.
Five days later, the Old Man Of Alchemy arrived at the Tang Clan, a few days earlier than expected.
As soon as the Old Man Of Alchemy arrived, Gu disappeared. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi both knew what was going on and pretended not to know anything.
The Old Man Of Alchemy dressed up before going out. He didn't look as unkempt and dirty as he did in the Alchemy Furnace. Han Yunxi didn't know if it was because of his dressing up, but she noticed that the Old Man Of Alchemy's complexion was much better than before. He was full of energy, as if he had become a few years younger.
Although there had been a lot of unhappiness between them, the Old Man Of Alchemy had come today. No matter who it was, he had the intention to help them.
Long Fei Ye bowed to the Old Man Of Alchemy. "Old Dan, you've had a long journey. It must have been hard on you."
The Old Man Of Alchemy seemed to be in a good mood. He chuckled. "It wasn't hard at all. It's rare for the Old Man to come out. Just treat it as a spring outing."
Han Yunxi's attention was focused on the small furnace in the Old Man Of Alchemy's hand.
It was a small and exquisite copper furnace. It was very similar to a hand warmer, but it was completely sealed. She couldn't see what was inside.
The Old Man Of Alchemy held it with both hands. He was very careful.
When he saw Han Yunxi looking over, the Old Man Of Alchemy carefully opened the lid of the furnace. For a moment, flames rushed out, and so did the heat. The Old Man Of Alchemy hurriedly covered it and smiled. "I only brought a few flames. It should be enough." Han Yunxi was relieved. She directly took the Old Man Of Alchemy to the Fire Spring without alerting too many people. After all, the search for the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons must be kept secret.
The Old Man Of Alchemy didn't ask about Gu's whereabouts. It seemed that he had sincerely come to help them. Holding the small furnace, he lowered his head and silently followed Han Yunxi.
Xu Donglin had explained the situation of the Earthly Fire Kun Furnace in his letter, but when the Old Man Of Alchemy saw it with his own eyes, he still found it very hard to believe.
"How is this furnace used to refine pills?" The Old Man Of Alchemy asked, puzzled.
Even he didn't understand, let alone Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye.
"Old Man Of Alchemy, this furnace doesn't need to be used to refine pills. We only need the poisonous flames in the furnace," Han Yunxi said seriously.
The earthly fire was very likely the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons. As for why they were looking for the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons, it wasn't convenient for them to reveal it. While Han Yunxi and the others were bitterly searching, Bai Yanqing was definitely looking for these things as well. Did Bai Yanqing know that Jun Yi Xie had used the Poison Pond to cultivate poison in Medicine City? With his ability, it wouldn't be difficult for him to determine that the pond water was the Water of Ten Thousand Poisons.
Han Yunxi had too many doubts about Bai Yanqing. She could only ignore the things she couldn't figure out. In any case, they had to get everything they could as quickly as possible. That was the way to go.
Although he was a bit distressed about the Earthly Fire Kun Furnace, the Old Man Of Alchemy had come with the intention of helping, so he didn't ask too many questions.
The Old Man Of Alchemy glanced at the Earthly Fire Kun Furnace from afar, then began to observe the weather.
"Spring thunder as a contract, heavenly fire to attract heavenly thunder, and heavenly thunder to attract earthly fire." He muttered to himself, "We need to wait for a thunderstorm."
"Xu Donglin, set up camp nearby and stand guard," Long Fei Ye ordered.
It was currently spring, and the Tang Sect was located in the south. It wasn't difficult to wait for a thunderstorm.
"Old Pill Master, is this earthly fire as vigorous as heavenly fire?" Han Yunxi asked, puzzled.
She had always been puzzled. If earthly fire was as vigorous as heavenly fire, how was she going to merge it with the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion? There wasn't much Perplexing Butterfly Illusion left. She still had to leave it for the poison beast blood and poison insect blood.
The Old Man Of Alchemy stroked his beard and helplessly shook his head. "This Old Man has only heard of heavenly thunder attracting earthly fire. As for how vigorous this fire is, this Old Man has never seen it for himself."
Han Yunxi furrowed her brows. If the earthly fire was as vigorous as heavenly fire, would she be able to use a small flame like the Old Man Of Alchemy?
Xu Donglin led his men to set up camp. The Old Man Of Alchemy and Han Yunxi settled down beside the Fire Spring and waited for the thunderstorm to arrive.
They waited for two days. During these two days, the Old Man Of Alchemy and Han Yunxi discussed many issues regarding Medicinal Pills. For the first time, Han Yunxi discovered that the Old Man Of Alchemy was actually a very serious old man. He wasn't crazy at all. Long Fei Ye asked about Phoenix power in a roundabout way. Unfortunately, the Old Man Of Alchemy didn't know much, so Long Fei Ye didn't ask any more questions.
That night, the air in the camp was especially stuffy. Everyone went outside to get some fresh air.
Han Yunxi looked outside and discovered that there wasn't a single star in the sky. You couldn't see any stars at night. Either the moon was too bright, or there were dark clouds.
"Today is the seventh day of the second lunar month, right?" Han Yunxi asked.
"Yes!" Tang Li immediately answered. In the past, he never knew the time, but in the past half a year, he remembered the date clearly.
How could Han Yunxi not remember it, too?
Gu Beiyue calculated that Ning Jing's due date was the twenty-seventh day of the second lunar month. There were still twenty days left. In other words, Ning Jing could give birth to the child at any time during this period of time.
What was the situation at Tiger's Prison now? Ning Nuo should have sent the news of the northern expedition being postponed.
Seeing Han Yunxi's somewhat dim eyes, Tang Li was calm. He smiled and said, "In a few days, Ning Jing will give birth. I'll really be a father!"
"Is being a father real or fake?" Han Yunxi smiled helplessly.
