"At the end of the day, I'm still worried."
Duanmu Cheng stared at Qin Yi and said solemnly, "The Spirit Breaking Grass is not a good thing. The situation was urgent and I couldn't care less about it. I only heard you say that you wanted to save someone."
Qin Yi could understand Duanmu Cheng's feelings. He said, "I've already used the Spirit Breaking Grass. Don't worry, Master, there's nothing wrong with it. "
"That's good."
Duanmu Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. The wrinkles on his face seemed to have smoothed out. "But how did you save someone with the Spirit Breaking Grass? Satisfy my curiosity. "
Duanmu Cheng's eyes lit up. He was a fanatic of Pill Dao. He naturally did not want to miss out on something new.
"It's not something shameful." Qin Yi did not hesitate and told him about how he used the Spirit Breaking Grass to remove the medicinal properties of the Ancient Spiritual Flower. "Everything in this world has its counterbalance. This is where my inspiration comes from."
After listening to Qin Yi, Duanmu Cheng was stunned on the spot. He looked at Qin Yi with a blank expression and was speechless for a long time.
After a while, Qin Yi suddenly felt that his eyes were burning with passion. He looked like a miser who had seen a treasure. His whole body was emitting a fiery aura.
"Qin Yi, if you don't mind, can you accept an old man like me as your disciple?"
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
Qin Yi stared at Duanmu Cheng and asked in surprise.
However, Duanmu Cheng didn't seem to want to change his mind at all. He looked at Qin Yi with a sincere gaze and said, "I suddenly realized that I don't seem to be of any help to you as a Master. On the other hand, your Pill Dao has improved tremendously. Your current understanding has completely exceeded my imagination. "
Duanmu Cheng spoke in a methodical manner. It could be seen that what he said just now wasn't something that he could say in a moment of hot-headedness.
Qin Yi could only smile helplessly and said, "But you're my Master. How could he possibly ask you to acknowledge him as your master? "
Duanmu Cheng shook his head firmly and said, "That's just how the world sees things. What I'm pursuing is the true Dao of alchemy. Since it is the true supreme Dao of alchemy, then it can naturally discard the prejudice of the world. "
"Moreover, isn't there a saying that strength reigns supreme in your martial arts world?"
Duanmu Cheng ignored Qin Yi's astonished expression and continued trying to convince Qin Yi, "In this world, everything is more or less the same. The Dao of alchemy also respects strength. Since your attainments in the Dao of alchemy have already surpassed me, your master, then what's wrong with me acknowledging you as my master now? "
Needless to say, Qin Yi really did not expect Duanmu Cheng to have such an opinion.
The first time he met Duanmu Cheng, he was a very stubborn person. Moreover, he could practically be considered as someone who considered everyone beneath his notice. He did not even place an alchemist like Lu Yu in his eyes, and even wanted to reject her help in refining pills.
After that, Qin Yi acknowledged him as his master. Although Duanmu Cheng's attitude towards him was completely different. But from his attitude towards others, it could also be seen that he still did not put down the pride in his heart.
Today, he did not expect that such a proud person would actually be willing to put down his pride and acknowledge someone who was a few hundred years younger than him as his master.
Without a doubt, the current Duanmu Cheng was completely convinced by Qin Yi's Dao of alchemy.
Of course, it was not only the fact that Qin Yi used the Spirit Breaking Grass to neutralize the effects of the ancient spiritual flower that made him make up his mind.
At that time, on Huangfu Ming's side, Qin Yi's words had already made his heart turn upside down.
"Master, there's one thing I don't understand."
Qin Yi looked at Duanmu Cheng and asked with a serious expression, "Why are you so persistent in wanting me to accept you as my disciple? Although I know that you want to improve your Dao of alchemy, there's no need to be so anxious, right? "
Although Duanmu Cheng's approach was rather sincere and bold. But it also gave Qin Yi a feeling that he was unscrupulous.
Hearing this, Duanmu Cheng instantly looked down, and his expression became a little gloomy.
After a moment, he finally opened his mouth and asked, "Do you really want to hear it?"
Qin Yi nodded. He had always felt that Duanmu Cheng was a person with a story.
But from the beginning to the end, Duanmu Cheng had wrapped himself up tightly and had no intention of sharing his own story.
Now, if he could hear something about him, Qin Yi would also be very happy.
"Sigh."
Duanmu Cheng suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed. Then, he said, "I once had the experience of practicing alchemy and martial arts at the same time. You should already know about it, right?"
Qin Yi nodded. Huangfu Ming had mentioned Duanmu Cheng's experience of practicing alchemy and martial arts at the same time in Emperor Yun's bedroom.
"This matter has to start from 300 years ago. At that time, Huangfu Ming and I were both learning alchemy under the same master. The two of us were almost accepted by master at the same time. And master only had the two of us, so naturally, he would compare us more. It was precisely because of this reason that we also had a certain degree of competition between each other. "
It was very normal for there to be competition between fellow apprentices. Appropriate competition could generate enough pressure. And this pressure could be transformed into motivation to move forward.
After a pause, Duanmu Cheng continued, "It's not that I'm bragging, but at that time, in terms of alchemy talent, Huangfu Ming was completely inferior to me. Whether it was in terms of mastery of alchemy knowledge or proficiency in alchemy, Huangfu Ming was almost completely suppressed by me. And at that time, master also particularly valued me. "
Speaking of this, Duanmu Cheng couldn't help but show a touch of pride on his face. It was as if everything that happened back then was once again playing in his mind.
"At that time, I was still young, and for this kind of success, I was inevitably a little complacent. Every time I saw Huangfu Ming being scolded by master, I felt that I was completely a genius. So, at this time, a very arrogant idea flashed in my mind. "
Qin Yi asked, "Master, are you preparing to start practicing alchemy and martial arts?"
