Chapter 38 Qing Ling
Li Yannian walked in the rugged underground cave.
A short man with one arm led the way, and behind Li Yannian were a series of stupid and disabled men and women.
"These people all have other uses. You are different from them."
The man chuckled.
Every time they passed a cave entrance, someone would pick up the men and women behind Li Yannian and lead them away.
After walking for about a cup of tea, the only man next to Li Yannian was the short, one-armed man.
A strong medicinal fragrance began to fill the air.
Li Yannian sniffed.
The aroma was quite familiar to him.
Could this be a rejuvenation pill?
Not long after, the two came to a huge cave.
"Well you little dwarf, you're lucky this time."
"That is!"
"After you escape this disaster, remember to treat your brothers to a drink."
"sure."
Li Yannian's face was expressionless.
He could feel the pity and malice projected inadvertently from the other side.
Moreover, the people he saw here were either weird or old and stupid, which gave him a rather familiar feeling, as if he had returned to the temple of Daxia.
"Let's go, follow me to see the Imperial Master!"
The cave inside is huge, hundreds of feet high.
In the center of the cave is a blazing purple-gold elixir furnace. Eight pairs of boys and girls are fanning the flames continuously to fan the fire. They are said to be boys and girls, but they are actually a group of deformed adults.
Right in front of the alchemy furnace is an old man sitting cross-legged like a longevity star.
The short one-armed man knelt on the ground: "Master Imperial Master, I have come to atone for my sins."
He turned his face and wanted Li Yannian to kneel down with him, but only then did he realize that Li Yannian was actually standing behind the stone pillar.
Suddenly cold sweat flowed down in thick streams.
"Oh, you still have the guts to come back."
The Imperial Master slowly turned around,
He pulled out a medicine pestle made of fine iron and was about to throw it out when a boy suddenly exclaimed:
"What a handsome young man!"
Li Yannian, who had been hiding himself behind a stone pillar, suddenly became alert. There was something very familiar to him in the sight of the old man.
"It's great to be young!"
The old birthday boy chuckled,
"Old man, I haven't seen such a good young man with such fine skin and tender flesh for a long time."
He left the short, broken-armed man behind and walked tremblingly towards Li Yannian.
Emotions themselves are used to vent people's anger and divert their attention.
Hearing that familiar sigh, Li Yannian immediately understood the short man's plan. The scene in front of him made him feel quite absurd and quite complacent.
The person I am now is not the person I was some time ago.
Some people have temporarily come ashore, while others are still struggling.
The imperial master's jealousy, hatred, and murderous intent please Li Yannian more than any praise.
At this moment, he had no idea of pulling people ashore. He just wanted to trap them, stop them, keep them captive, watch them fight each other, and then slowly despair and give up.
How interesting!
"Master National Master, this person will definitely become an immortal by making elixirs."
The short man's words made Li Yannian wake up instantly.
Become an immortal? Become an immortal!
How could he forget that there are immortals in this world?
Are those aloof immortals, Buddhas and monsters looking at me with such joy?
What is he happy about?
My journey has just begun!
The complacency in his heart suddenly turned into a surge of rage.
Li Yannian was angry at his shallowness and his delusions.
Whoops!
The invisible fire in the heart is burning brightly,
Ding!
A seven-color glazed spider thread in the void broke directly at the moment it was about to be ignited, and Li Yannian's mind returned to Qingming.
"Ha, the inner demon tribulation is over."
"Human Emperor of Daxia, look forward to seeing us again."
In the unpredictable space,
Demon Lord Xuanli smiled and put down the cup in his hand.
He glanced at Liutian Xuannv who was still going crazy on the lake, and she disappeared as soon as she turned around.
After recovering, Li Yannian glanced at the imperial master. His thoughts had only flown for a moment. Li Yannian not only did not evade, but took the initiative to get closer.
"Red heart butterfly, black water lotus, rootless flower..."
As Li Yannian named each medicinal material, the old man's pace became slower and slower.
Finally, the old man stopped and said, "You also know how to make elixirs?"
These medicinal materials are the main ingredients for his elixir.
Li Yannian nodded.
"This elixir can rejuvenate energy, but it requires two ingredients to be perfect."
"Tell me what's missing?" The Imperial Master was impatient, like a naughty boy.
"The ten years of golden cicada shed."
The Imperial Master knocked on his scepter, and someone immediately went to prepare.
"Where's the other medicinal ingredient?"
Li Yannian turned his head and looked at the short man. His gaze made the short man tremble all over and break out in cold sweat.
"This fire is not strong enough, we need to add some ingredients."
Click!
The Imperial Master's peach-like forehead was split open, and a vine that seemed to be twisted by nerves grabbed the short man and stuffed him into the fire.
"That's enough." The Imperial Master was as kind as the grandpa next door.
Li Yannian nodded.
"I wonder what the immortal is called?"
"The poor Qing Lingzi."
It’s really him!
Li Yannian never expected that the imperial master in front of him was the author of Changshou Collection.
The health-preserving and longevity elixirs he wrote have been widely circulated and have been enduring for a long time, but in fact, this national master also has a little-known work - the Collection of Blood and Flesh.
To a certain extent, he can be said to be Li Yannian's senior.
"National Master, the things have been brought."
Qing Lingzi took it and threw the cicada directly into the alchemy furnace.
"Raise the heat of the fire."
Under Li Yannian's scolding, eight pairs of boys and girls waved their fans.
"Too slow, still too slow!"
Li Yannian dissatisfied and walked to the boy who had just spoken.
He lowered his head and whispered into his ear: "Your strength is not enough."
After saying that, push hard,
Ouch!
The man screamed and clung to the wall of the alchemy furnace, turning into a wisp of green smoke.
"What are you doing?"
"The quality of the elixir will be better this way."
Qing Lingzi then turned from anger to joy: "Then let's have some more?"
He waved his hand, and the remaining boys and girls stuck on it one by one like pancakes.
"If this elixir fails, you have to go down and accompany them!"
Li Yannian was not worried at all.
"Come here, keep fanning the flames."
Under Qing Lingzi's order, eight more pairs of dwarves came up.
After about a while of burning the incense, streams of alchemy energy came out of the stove. Just smelling it made everyone present feel that their whole bodies were clear and relaxed.
"It works, it really works!"
"Look at the color, this elixir energy is countless times better than the previous batches."
Qing Lingzi smelled it again and again. He blew on the pill to cool it down and handed it to Li Yannian.
"Here, eat it."
Li Yannian swallowed the pill without hesitation.
In less than a moment, his originally smooth black hair was like ink flowing all over the floor, his skin became more delicate, and his eyes became brighter.
After confirming that it was correct, Qing Lingzi also swallowed the pill in one gulp. Short hairs grew on his originally bald head, and even his teeth grew back.
"Okay, okay!"
Qing Lingzi touched her forehead and cried with joy.
Li Yannian somewhat understood his mood. For a bald man, turning a nectarine into a hairy peach was also a victory.
"May I have your name?"
The Imperial Master suddenly asked.
"Guan Zizai."
"Are you willing to worship me as your teacher and be my registered disciple?"
"Disciple is willing."
Register? That’s all, let’s make do with it for now.
Li Yannian cupped his hand, and then took the elixir handed over by Qing Lingzi and swallowed it in one gulp.
"This is Liu Chong Powder. If you betray me, your internal organs will be eaten away by the insects."
Li Yannian nodded.
"Junior brother, you don't have the attitude of becoming a disciple."
Suddenly a gloomy word came from the side,
"Even if the senior brother is extremely talented, he is not as unruly and rude as you."
Qing Lingzi's face suddenly darkened.
‘Is it because of Senior Brother’s problem? ’
Li Yannian keenly felt that Qing Lingzi's face twitched unnaturally after hearing these three words, and the other party's mood was turning into anger!
