After a while, Bai He's figure appeared at the entrance of the cave again.
It could be seen that his mood now seemed to be much better than before, and he even gently patted his hands, as if he had achieved great success.
Looking at Qin Yi and the rest who were looking at each other, Bai He smiled awkwardly. Obviously, he also realized that he had lost his composure in front of everyone.
"Little You, please don't misunderstand. My interactions with Brother Duanmu have always been like this, it'll be fine once everyone gets used to it. "
Bai He used a hearty laugh to cover up the awkwardness on his face. Then, he quickly changed the topic, "Alright, Brother Duanmu has agreed to meet you. Follow me in. "
"Old bastard Bai He, when did I agree to meet them?"
Another loud shout came from within the cave. From his voice, one could hear the deep resentment he had for the White Crane.
Of course, his rebuttal was futile in front of Bai He. Soon, Qin Yi and the rest appeared in Duanmu Cheng's cave.
Inside the cave, there was obviously a formation set up. Just by taking a step forward, the few of them could already smell a rich medicinal fragrance wafting towards their noses.
It was a strong smell, but it did not make one feel disgusted. Although it was a little mixed, it did not affect the fragrance of the medicinal fragrance.
Once they entered the cave, Lu Yu started to look around anxiously, trying to find Duanmu Cheng.
Soon, he saw a white-haired old man squatting on the ground in front of a giant pill cauldron beside the cave, his hand covering his stomach.
The old man was wearing a white robe, but it seemed like he had been wearing it for hundreds of years. Although it was not damaged, it was a complete mess.
A fine white robe had actually turned into coal black. Perhaps it was because of the medicinal fragrance, Qin Yi and the rest did not smell the stench.
Looking up the robe, what Qin Yi saw was a big lump of white 'Furball'. On the surface of the Furball, there were a few dried roots of spiritual herbs.
After taking a closer look, Qin Yi finally saw Duanmu Cheng's face clearly.
This was a thin face. Although his facial features could not be considered delicate, they could still be considered decent. Although Duanmu Cheng addressed himself as' old man ', not a single wrinkle could be seen on his face. In fact, one could even see that his face was covered in a red glow.
Those big eyes were like two lanterns, emitting a bright light. There were thick eye bags under his eyes, as if he had not slept for several days.
It had to be said that Senior Duanmu Cheng looked rather spirited. If he were to dress up a little, he should be much younger than Senior White Crane.
The only thing lacking was that there was a huge bruise on the left side of his face, which made him look a little comical.
"What are you looking at?"
Suddenly, Duanmu Cheng's eyes widened so much that his eyeballs almost rolled out of their sockets. Then, he stood up, but his hand was still unwilling to leave his abdomen.
Without a doubt, these were the two "greetings" that Senior White Crane had given him when it came in. One was on his face, and the other was on his stomach.
Then, he waved his hand and said loudly, "The pills are all on the stone platform on the left. There are labels on them. Once you've found what you want, scram! "
Qin Yi and the rest could not help but turn their eyes to the left. There was indeed a huge stone platform there, with all kinds of bottles placed on it. There were labels on the bottles.
Even Qin Yi could not help but be surprised when he saw the bottles. With a cursory glance, he discovered that there were at least ten thousand types of pills on the table. Moreover, the words on the labels on each bottle were different. In other words, there were ten thousand different types of pills.
Without a doubt, Duanmu Cheng was a genuine alchemy maniac.
Even if he refined these ten thousand types of pills without rest, it would probably take him a few years to refine them.
If the time for rest and the failure rate were taken into account, it would probably take even longer.
Moreover, judging from the appearance of the bottles, they did not look particularly old. In other words, these pills were refined in recent years.
Qin Yi seemed to understand why Senior Duanmu Cheng wanted to move his residence to a mountain peak that was five hundred meters high.
According to his character, there would be nothing else in his life other than alchemy.
However, he did not understand why a person like him, who lived in seclusion, would know the hoarse old man from the Soaring Wind City's Hidden Dragon Arena?
One had to admit that this strange Senior Duanmu really made people scratch their heads.
Even an experienced alchemist like Lu Yu could not help but feel dizzy when he saw this dazzling array of various medicinal pills.
However, his purpose of coming was not to ask for pills. Although Senior Duanmu looked a little difficult to get along with, he still braced himself and took a step forward. After pondering for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Senior, actually we …"
"Guo Zhong, you lazy guy, where did you run off to? Quickly take out the Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Ginseng for me! If you're late, I'll skin you alive! "
Duanmu Cheng's loud and clear voice resounded through the entire cave, causing waves of pain in one's eardrums. His roar interrupted all the words that Lu Yu wanted to say. The emotions that he brewed up with great difficulty also vanished in an instant.
Duanmu Cheng's voice simply reached the point where it would not dissipate for three days. The echoes in the cave residence lasted for almost a quarter of an hour before gradually disappearing.
Very quickly, a tall, square-faced young man dressed in a plain robe came out from a corner of the cave residence, dragging a small wooden box.
Looking at his exhausted face, as if he had nothing to live for, everyone could not help but sympathize with him.
Obviously, the long hours of alchemy without rest had completely squeezed this guy called Guo Zhong dry.
"Master, your Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Ginseng."
Although the young man called Guo Zhong was exhausted, he did not dare to delay in the slightest as he carefully brought the wooden box in front of Duanmu Cheng.
"Lazy and sloppy, what's with this?"
After taking away the wooden box, Duanmu Cheng did not leave the matter at that. Pointing at the head of the young man called Guo Zhong, he said with spittle flying, "You can't even endure this little bit of hardship and you still want me to ask you to refine pills? I'll give you an hour to rest. If you don't appear in front of me after an hour, jump down this five hundred meter cliff! "
Guo Zhong nodded his head numbly. Without saying a word, he turned around and left the scene like a walking corpse.
"Brother Duanmu, have you forgotten something?"
