Situ Haomiao's words caused the crowd to tremble.
Evidently, there was a clear distinction between martial arts geniuses and alchemy grandmasters even among them.
Although Situ Haomiao looked like he had one foot in the grave, he still had good judgment. He was able to tell that Qin Yi had a special talent in martial arts with just a glance. It had to be said that Situ Haomiao must be a very powerful person to be able to see through Qin Yi's martial arts strength and talent at a glance.
But then again, he was someone who had lived for tens of thousands of years after all. He must have seen a lot of the world, so it was not too much to say that he had such knowledge.
However, Situ Haomiao's words were obviously not enough to convince Luo Wenshi.
Even though he had concluded that Qin Yi was a martial arts genius, Luo Wenshi still argued, "Senior Situ, I know what you mean. You think that Qin Yi is young and skilled in martial arts, so it's impossible for him to have such attainments in alchemy at his age! But I dare to guarantee that Little Friend Qin is absolutely a very formidable alchemist. The reason I could break through realms this time was entirely because of the guidance he gave me, as well as the two high-grade Heaven Rank medicinal pills he gave me. Only then could I break through so smoothly! "
His words caused an uproar!
"He can refine Upper Grade Heaven Grade Pills at such a young age? That doesn't seem very realistic! "
"But it's true that Elder Luo made a breakthrough. Could it be that this kid used the Upper Grade Heaven Grade Pills that he got from someone else on Elder Luo? "
"It's also possible that Elder Luo's breakthrough has nothing to do with this kid. The two of them must have colluded and used this breakthrough to boost this kid's reputation. "
...
Even though Luo Wenshi had explained the matter so clearly, the voices questioning Qin Yi did not stop.
"Ahem."
Situ Haomiao coughed heavily and said, "Wen Shi, this old man knows you very well. You're not a liar. But I still don't believe that a young man like him can solve a problem that even I can't. So, if you don't mind, this old man wants to test him. "
Luo Wenshi didn't say anything. Instead, he cast an inquiring gaze at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi also smiled and said, "Actually, I don't want to prove anything. However, if old mister wishes to discuss the Dao of alchemy with Qin Mo, Qin Mo would be more than happy to oblige. "
To be honest, whether he was an alchemist or not, he didn't need to prove it to anyone. Strength was used to enrich oneself, not to show off.
However, he still wanted to see just how capable this alchemist who had lived for tens of thousands of years was. Perhaps, he would be able to gain something from this and strengthen his own strength.
Moreover, the current situation was that in order to protect him, Luo Wenshi had already been labeled as favoritism.
If he didn't show some of his strength now and prove himself, Luo Wenshi would probably be put on the spot.
"Alright!"
Situ Haomiao nodded slowly and said, "Then I'll ask you the first question. This is also the most basic question. Can you tell me what the Dao of alchemy is? "
The moment this question was asked, the crowd immediately started discussing it.
Obviously, everyone felt that this question was too simple.
Wasn't the Dao of alchemy the Dao of alchemy? It was just like the Martial Dao. The higher one's mastery in the Dao of alchemy, the higher the level of alchemy one could refine! Only by obtaining higher prestige and reputation would one be able to gain more respect from others!
This sort of question was truly too simple. Did Situ Haomiao look down on Qin Yi and intentionally asked this question?
However, everyone really wanted to know how Qin Yi would answer such a simple question.
After hearing this question, Qin Yi fell silent for a moment, and then he thought about it carefully. In the end, he finally answered, "The Dao of alchemy is the Dao of tempering the heart."
Situ Haomiao frowned and said, "The Dao of alchemy is the Dao of alchemy. How did it become the Dao of tempering the heart?"
Situ Haomiao's question caused many people to look at Qin Yi with mocking and disdainful gazes.
It was especially so for Xiao Luo and Xiong Yu. At this moment, the words' serves you right 'were almost printed on their faces.
"And here I thought he was an extraordinary person. So that's all there is to him."
"Hmph! I, Xiong Yu, hate people who pretend to be knowledgeable when they don't understand and pretend to be profound. Now that Senior Situ has questioned him, I'd like to see how he'll deal with this! "
…
At this moment, Qin Yi was still standing calmly on the spot. He didn't show any signs of panic because of the crowd's doubts.
Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he said, "The Dao of alchemy is based on the heart. If the heart is righteous, the Dao of alchemy can cure illness, save people, and bestow good fortune to others. If the heart is evil, the Dao of alchemy can also kill people invisibly and cause unbearable pain. A thought is righteous, and a thought is evil. If it's from the heart, it can lead to different endings! "
After a pause, he continued, "The Dao of alchemy, the Martial Dao, and even any cultivation method in this world are all different paths to the same goal. During this period, the improvement of one's level might bring about all kinds of desires and temptations. Only by sticking to one's heart and firm on the right path is the true Dao! Therefore, the Dao of alchemy is the Dao of tempering one's heart! Only when one doesn't forget one's heart in the path of cultivation will one be able to achieve greater achievements! "
After Qin Yi finished speaking, the crowd fell into a brief silence. The expressions of the crowd varied. It was obvious that they had completely different opinions about Qin Yi's answer.
Some people thought that whether Qin Yi's answer was correct or not, it was worth listening to.
On the other hand, some people thought that Qin Yi was purely spouting nonsense! He didn't answer the question and didn't answer the question. He was simply showing off his knowledge and pretending to be profound!
However, no matter what these people thought, whether Qin Yi's answer was correct or not would ultimately depend on Situ Haomiao's point of view.
At this moment, Situ Haomiao was already sitting on a chair. His skinny hand was constantly twirling his somewhat withered beard.
His weather-beaten eyes flickered with deep contemplation at this moment. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
