"Mister Yuan, what are you doing? Why are you following behind me all the way here? Didn't I just show my butt today? Can't you just walk in front of me? "Ling Dong turned around and said to Yuan Chen with a bitter smile.
After Jiao Xinglie died from the poison, Ling Dong left the Medicine Master's Mansion under the shocked gazes of the alchemists and guards.
However, what shocked the alchemists even more was that Mansion Master Yuan Chen had also left with Ling Dong. Leaving with Ling Dong wasn't the main point. The main point was that Mansion Master Yuan was actually following behind Ling Dong.
Moreover, when Ling Dong stopped and tried to let Mansion Master Yuan walk in front of him, something strange happened. Mansion Master Yuan retreated behind Ling Dong without any hesitation. No matter what Ling Dong did, he wasn't willing to walk in front of Ling Dong.
The alchemists and guards who witnessed this scene were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.
This was because whether it was in the Yaoguang Empire or the entire Tiangang Continent, the difference in walking position sometimes represented the difference in status between the two.
This kind of situation was sometimes very tacit. Generally speaking, those who felt that they were weaker would take the initiative to fall behind those who were stronger or those whom they admired. In the eyes of many alchemists, Palace Venerate Yuan Chen and Palace Venerate Yuan was in such a situation.
How could they not be shocked when even Mansion Master Yuan Chen had to change his attitude and treat him with respect?
Ling Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this. He knew himself best. When Ling Dong became an Upper Earth Alchemist in the future, Mansion Master Yuan Chen had already been a Heaven Alchemist for a long time.
Even with the experience from his previous life, Ling Dong didn't have full confidence in becoming a Heaven Alchemist. The difference between an Earth Alchemist and a Heaven Alchemist wasn't just about the grade of the pills they refined. There was also a mysterious law — the Heavenly Way!
Ling Dong only knew that Heaven Alchemists had already begun to come into contact with the mysterious Law of Heavenly Way and were able to make use of it! Therefore, the pills refined by a Heaven Alchemist, even if they were Xiantian or Earth Emanations pills, had effects that far exceeded their original grade.
For example, a Xiantian Medium Grade Recovery Pill refined by an Earth Alchemist would remain a Xiantian Medium Grade Recovery Pill as long as the ingredients weren't changed.
However, if it was refined by a Heaven Alchemist, under certain circumstances, the Innate Middle-grade elixir could even rise by two grades and become a Lower-grade Earth Emanations Elixir. This involved some of the principles of the Heavenly Way.
This was also the reason why some pills refined by the Heaven Alchemist had such heaven-defying effects Heavenly Way! Heaven's Heaven Alchemist's Heaven Alchemist was a Heaven Heaven Heaven????????
Therefore, even though he had the experience of being reborn, Ling Dong still maintained a trace of respect for this Heaven Alchemist Yuan Chen, who was destined to be a Heaven Alchemist in the future.
Yuan Chen's mouth twitched when he heard this. Who the hell would be interested in your ass? "It's alright, I'm willing to follow you like this. Let's go to the inn where you're staying. I have a few things to discuss with you!" Yuan Chen said nonchalantly after his mouth twitched!
"If you're willing, alright!" Ling Dong had no choice but to quicken his pace and walk towards the inn where he was staying. He had no choice. Yuan Chen was a frequent visitor of Flaming Cloud City, and many people recognized him. Following him like this would attract a lot of attention.
After returning to the inn, Ling Dong personally brewed a cup of tea and invited Yuan Chen to take a seat. Only then did he say, "For today's matter, I still have to thank Mister Yuan for your care!" Ling Dong had always been a person who knew how to be grateful. Although Yuan Chen didn't help him much, his sincerity was already worth it.
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it seriously!
It would have been better if Ling Dong hadn't mentioned this. Now that he did, Yuan Chen's face turned red. This was because when Yuan Chen heard this, he recalled the bet he had made with Ling Dong because he was angry.
It was the bet he had made with Ling Dong as his master.
"Ling Dong … Do you still remember what happened today … This old man is not … someone who goes back on his words … As long as you tell this old man how you resolved the poison of the Hundred Yin Golden Centipede Blood that even this old man was helpless against, this old man will …"
"Mr. Yuan, please wait!" Ling Dong was an astute person. He immediately understood what Yuan Chen was talking about. He also understood Yuan Chen's current thoughts.
For a person who valued his promises, if he didn't resolve the bet, it would be like a thorn in his heart. Not only would it be extremely uncomfortable, but it would also affect his future progress.
Yuan Chen's visit was probably to resolve this knot in his heart. Naturally, Ling Dong had to stop him. After all, Yuan Chen was already over a hundred years old. If he took a young man as his master, he would definitely become a laughingstock in front of others.
Instead of taking in a dissatisfied and unwilling disciple, it was better to do him a favor and write off the debt. At the same time, he could make Yuan Chen feel like he owed him something. Between the two, Ling Dong naturally chose the latter.
This kind of favor couldn't be repaid. Sometimes, with a little planning, the favor could be repaid more and more. Just like now!
"Mr. Yuan, first of all, I didn't refine the antidotes for the Flaming Sun Golden Centipede Pill and the Hundred Yin Golden Centipede Blood.
Therefore, it can't be considered a mistake, Mr. Yuan! Moreover, although I managed to resolve the poison of the Hundred Yin Golden Centipede Blood by accident, I can't tell you the specifics. I hope Mr. Yuan can understand! Moreover, Mr. Yuan and my master are of the same generation. How can I do such a disgraceful thing? "Ling Dong said.
Yuan Chen's expression relaxed when he heard this. He had fulfilled his promise, and the other party didn't accept it. The thorn in his heart had been removed. It wasn't strange. Sometimes, the most difficult hurdle for a person was their own psychological hurdle.
Moreover, even if Yuan Chen was a man of his word, he wasn't a saint. He was also worried that he would be mocked by his peers in the future. At their level, face was sometimes very important.
"That's fine too … If there's anything you don't understand in the future, you can come and ask me. I'll definitely tell you everything I know!" Yuan Chen said with a serious expression.
"If that's the case, I'll thank Mr. Yuan first!" Ling Dong bowed solemnly to Yuan Chen. Yuan Chen's promise was actually very heavy. It was equivalent to taking Ling Dong in as his direct disciple. It was just that he didn't have the status now. Moreover, Yuan Chen couldn't open his mouth to take in disciples now.
Many direct disciples of alchemists didn't have the same treatment as Yuan Chen. Many teachers would secretly hold back when teaching their disciples as a form of deterrence. This was also the reason why many sects were declining.
After solving this big problem and resolving the knot in his heart, Yuan Chen's mind returned to how Ling Dong detoxified the poison. He opened his mouth and asked, "Ling Dong, then tell this old man how you detoxified the poison. I will help you analyze it!" Yuan Chen said.
When Ling Dong heard this, he almost laughed out loud. This old man was really too honest when it came to pills. How could he not use this opportunity to owe him a favor that came knocking on his door?
"It's like this, Mr. Yuan. My master once proposed a theory, a theory on detoxification. Detoxification nowadays is all about seeing the poison and dissolving it. Once you recognize the poison, you decide what antidote to use.
However, my master said that poisons can be divided into three types. The first type of poison starts from the blood and spreads throughout the body from the blood. The second type of poison directly affects one's senses and even the consciousness of one's soul. The third type of poison is the type of poison that starts attacking the human body after contact.
Based on these three types of poison, my master proposed a bold theory that detoxification can be done through the method of attack. For example, the first type of poison starts from the blood and attacks the entire body. One can first protect the blood or prevent it from spreading. Then, one can use a special method to force the poison that hasn't spread to a certain area and release it. Then, one can detoxify the poison! "Ling Dong said.
Hearing this, Yuan Chen, who was originally listening attentively, was suddenly stunned. Then, he smiled bitterly. "It's over. I've fallen into Ling Dong's trap again. This isn't a poison that he detoxified by accident. He clearly used this special method to detoxify the poison with full confidence. Just now, I was just taking care of his old face and said some polite words. "
This time, he owed a big favor. The thorn in his heart that he had just resolved immediately turned into an even bigger favor that tied him down.
This was clearly Ling Dong letting him go.
Countless thoughts flashed through Yuan Chen's mind in an instant. He thought to himself, "I owe this kid a big favor again."
However, compared to Ling Dong's new detoxification theory, what was the harm in owing him a big favor? Yuan Chen buried the debt deep in his heart and immediately asked all kinds of questions. He couldn't wait to dig out all of Ling Dong's new theories.
In fact, Ling Dong wasn't talking nonsense. The theory he talked about was invented by an unknown alchemist in the later generations. It made detoxification easier. Ling Dong detoxified the poison using this method. Of course, it was accompanied by a set of strange techniques that drove the whole body's blood to detoxify the poison.
However, this theory in the later generations could only detoxify the first type of poison. As for the other types, it was still helpless. Therefore, Ling Dong wasn't invulnerable to all poisons.
Seeing that Yuan Chen was asking questions, Ling Dong didn't hold back. While answering, he also casually asked some questions that he had accumulated when he was a high-grade alchemist in his previous life. He took advantage of Yuan Chen.
However, the more Yuan Chen listened, the more shocked he became. Some of the questions that Ling Dong asked were of such a high level that even Yuan Chen couldn't answer them. Yuan Chen increasingly felt that Ling Dong's former teacher was very likely to be the elusive Heaven Alchemist on the mainland.
With the promise in front of him, Yuan Chen didn't hide anything. He answered all the questions without holding back. Even if he didn't know, he would discuss it with Ling Dong, which benefited Ling Dong a lot.
Ling Dong felt that tonight's conversation was enough to improve his alchemy skills by a lot.
"Ah, it's already midnight!" When the clock struck, Yuan Chen suddenly exclaimed, "Look at me, once the topic of alchemy is mentioned, I can't stop talking. I almost missed the important matter!"
"Important matter?" Ling Dong was a little puzzled.
"Yes, Ling Dong, do you know what other alchemists, especially those from the Medicine Master's Mansion, represent other than victory and defeat?" Yuan Chen asked.
"Other than victory and defeat, what else can it represent?" Ling Dong was very puzzled.
"Status!"
Hearing these two words, Ling Dong seemed to have thought of something, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. "Status?"
