Chapter 8: Alchemy of Gambling Life
When Han Lin hesitated, the man on the side yawned and said impatiently, "If you can't do it, go home and cultivate the land, I'll treat you as if you've never been here, don't waste everyone's time." ”
Han Lin didn't answer the man's words, he could naturally answer these questions, from the time Han Lin saw the Dan Book from Li Qian'er, the knowledge about alchemy and spirit grass appeared in his mind.
Even sometimes when he was dreaming, he would dream that a man was practicing all kinds of pills, he didn't know what the principle was, maybe this was the "knot" that Xiaoyao said.
The reason why Han Lin didn't want to do it was because he was afraid that the content in his memory would conflict with reality, which would cause him a lot of trouble, but now he couldn't take care of it so much.
"Forget it, it's all here, let's take a good test, just to see how much difference there is between the knowledge in my brain and reality" Determined, Han Lin began to write.
And seeing Han Lin put pen to paper, the man stopped talking nonsense, he directly lit an incense stick and started the timer, and then he fell asleep groggily. After more than half an hour had passed, Han Lin woke up the dozing man.
"Oh, how long has it been" After the man got up, he first looked at the special incense next to him, which was only burned more than halfway, and it seemed that the man had given up.
"It's a pity that it's too late for you to give up now, go out, we will punish you according to the regulations" The man was about to leave, but as soon as he was about to leave, Han Lin put a full scroll in front of him.
"I'm done answering, who told you that I was going to give up" Han Lin was a little angry, how come the people here are all guys who look down on people.
Sure enough, as the old saying goes, if you don't enter a family, if you don't enter a family, the snobbish owner will have snobbish subordinates.
Speaking of that girl, Han Lin hated it again, if it weren't for her, Han Lin wouldn't have fallen into a situation where he didn't even dare to show his true face, thinking of this, he didn't have a good temper.
With a wave of his hand, Han Lin slapped the paper into the arms of the man who invigilated the exam, and said, "Hurry up and proceed to the next item, I still have urgent matters."
Holding Han Lin's scroll, the man was also a little confused, could it be that Han Lin would really do it.
"What a cow, what a cow, dirt buns" while scolding, the man looked at the roll, but as he looked down, his words could no longer be spoken, and when he finished reading the roll, he was already shocked into a cold sweat.
Glancing at the sloppy Han Lin again, the man knew that he had really lost his eyes today, although he couldn't determine some of the contents of this volume, but the part he could understand was enough to explain Han Lin's strength.
So he immediately changed his flattering face and said, "Eh, this adult, you see that I am also blind, I have offended a lot before, and I hope you will forgive me......"
The man's reaction relieved Han Lin, since he didn't see that his answer was wrong, it meant that his memory was correct, and now Han Lin was more confident that he could pass the test.
"Don't say it, can I pass it," interrupting the man's flattery, Han Lin said impatiently. He didn't want to waste time here, one more second of stay here would expose him to more danger, and Han Lin couldn't wait to complete the assessment immediately.
"Yes, of course, please here," said the man, bending down and leading Han Lin out of the room, towards the depths of the Dan Pavilion.
Soon, they walked outside the other room, only to see that there was a wooden sign written here: Alchemy room, obviously this is the official assessment location, and the previous room was temporarily prepared for preliminary screening.
After bowing to Han Lin, the man turned around and knocked on the door, "Dan Lao, I sent you someone for review."
Hearing the shouts at the door, the people inside were obviously very happy, and before they opened the door, they heard him say in a loud voice, "I just heard that someone came to participate in the Danshi assessment, but I didn't expect to really pass the preliminary examination." Okay, well, this Xiqi is not as useless as I thought."
The voice was loud, and he didn't care at all about how the Xiqi people would feel if they heard this, but fortunately, Han Lin didn't have any ideas, because he was not a Xiqi person at all.
Seeing that Han Lin didn't mean to be angry, the man breathed a sigh of relief, Danshi's personality was mostly weird, if Han Lin was angry because of this, he really didn't know how to persuade him.
Amid Danlao's laughter, an old man with gray hair walked out of the door. Just as the man leading the way was about to speak, he saw that Dan Lao's face immediately changed when he saw Han Lin, and his smiling face was instantly clouded.
Before the leading man could figure out what was going on, he heard Dan Lao say in a cold voice
"Mere mortals also want to participate in the assessment of alchemists, do you really have no temper in our Dan Pavilion" After speaking, a momentum emanated from Dan Lao, and Han Lin and the man who led the way unconsciously took a few steps back under the effect of this pressure.
And the change here quickly attracted the attention of the people in the surrounding rooms, and for a while, four or five more men came out of the room and looked here.
"Dan Lao, don't be angry" Seeing that the two people opposite Dan Lao couldn't hold on and knelt down on one knee, a few people who came out hurriedly persuaded that if they took their lives, even their Dan master would have to work hard.
Under the persuasion of everyone, Dan Lao regained his momentum, but the coercion of less than a minute had already made the man who led the way faint, and although Han Lin was awake, he also had difficulty breathing and his head was dizzy.
Seeing that the scene had stabilized, a man asked, "Dan Lao, what's the matter, I'm so angry"
"Hmph, why, just look at that man" As he spoke, Dan Lao pointed at Han Lin, "A mere mortal actually came to participate in the Dan Master audit, if you don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid this Xiqi really thinks that our Dan Pavilion is a joke."
Under Dan Lao's introduction, several men looked at Han Lin, and after their feelings, they found that Han Lin did not have a little aura in his body, and he was obviously an ordinary person.
And everyone on the Xiuzhen Continent knows that if you want to refine the pill, you must have cultivation above the foundation, so that you can use the aura to control the flame in the Dan furnace, refine the impurities in the elixir, and then fuse it into a pill.
Sometimes, in order to refine high-grade pills, alchemists often need the help of spirit stones and pills, so that they can maintain alchemy for a long time. But in any case, this is not something that an ordinary person can do.
After learning this, everyone finally understood the reason why Dan Lao was angry, and everyone would be angry about this matter. What's more, Dan Lao is a Dan idiot who loves Dan like his life, and an ordinary person refining Dan in front of him will undoubtedly make him uncomfortable than killing him. He only punished with coercion, and it was indeed merciful.
"Alright Dan Lao, you don't need to be angry about this. You also know that our Dan Pavilion has just been established, and there are indeed some people who want to take advantage of loopholes, just let the people in the torture room deal with it."
"That's it, don't be angry with your old man's body," everyone advised.
At the same time, someone also instructed the subordinates who rushed to hear the sound "Don't suppress this troublemaker, remember to teach him a hard lesson"
"Yes!"
Just when the subordinates had already set up Han Lin and were about to leave, Han Lin, who had been silent, suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahahaha...... It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous."
The unbridled laughter stimulated the nerves of the Dan Shi present, and one of the Dan Shi stopped his subordinates and asked Han Lin, "What are you laughing at?"
"Hahahaha, I laugh at you" Han Lin shouted presumptuously, "The Dan Dao has been inherited for 10,000 years, but I didn't expect that in these 10,000 years, not only did no one think of reforming the old and making the new, but everyone has been holding the old things and being proud of them, don't you feel ashamed of the ancestors!"
"What are you talking about!" These words have already scolded everyone present, and the man who ordered his subordinates just now immediately became angry, "The little hairy boy is also here to make a big fuss, pull him down, and beat me to death"
"Wait, put that man down" But at this moment, Dan Lao stopped them.
Hearing Dan Lao's indifferent voice, everyone knew that Dan Lao was really angry, and they couldn't guarantee what the angry Dan Lao would do.
The few people who were holding Han Lin glanced at each other, put Han Lin down, and waited for Dan Lao to fall.
"Success" Han Lin, who was put down, finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was also helpless just now, if he was really dragged down today, then all his efforts would be in vain.
Speaking of which, Han Lin was also to blame, he was only thinking about how to use the knowledge in his memory to refine the elixir, but he forgot that he was an ordinary person who was not even qualified to participate in the assessment. But now that he has come to this point, Han Lin has no way out.
After tidying up his demeanor, Han Lin stood up and looked at Dan Lao, whether he can participate in the assessment today depends on this old man's words, and since the conventional method does not work, Han Lin has no choice but to take the sword sideways.
"Fortunately, this Dan Pavilion is not all short-sighted people, I'm very pleased."
Ignoring Han Lin's bluff, Dan Lao slowly walked up to Han Lin and said, "You say our things are old-fashioned?"
Han Lin was also not afraid, he stared at Dan Lao and said, "That's right, you are a group of old old-fashioned people who don't know how to innovate."
"Hahaha" Listening to Han Lin's words, Dan Lao laughed angrily, and he said to Han Lin word by word, "The old man has been learning alchemy since he was six years old, and now he has been immersed in Dan Dao for more than 70 years. Even so, the old man didn't dare to say that he had a glimpse of the Dan Dao, how could you dare to speak out here, you are a mountain villager?"
"No, the strength is still not enough" Seeing that Dan Lao was still interested in laughing, Han Lin decided to add another fire, so that he couldn't laugh when he couldn't laugh
"A long time doesn't mean you know a lot," Han Lin said in a weird way, "Even if the king lives for a thousand years, he is still just a king."
"What are you talking about" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and some of them were so angry that they even wanted to teach Han Lin a lesson
Seeing everyone's reactions, especially Dan Lao's face that was completely reddened, Han Lin knew that the time was ripe, so he hit the railway while it was hot, "That's it, let's make a bet."
"Oh, what a bet"
"You asked me to refine the pill once, if I can refine a pill, you apologize to me in public"
"Then what if you can't refine the Dan," Dan Lao said as he stared at Han Lin's eyes.
"Then I will kill myself on the spot to prove that your Dan Dao is correct"
"Okay, this bet, the old man took it" Without the slightest hesitation, Dan Lao agreed to Han Lin's bet.
"Dan Lao, don't do it" Seeing that Dan Lao actually took this outrageous gamble in a fit of anger, everyone hurriedly persuaded him
It's not that they're afraid that Dan Lao will lose, but just taking this gamble will already damage Dan Lao's identity, and if this matter gets out today, it will definitely become a black material for Dan Lao.
"You don't need to persuade me, I've made up my mind" said, Boss Dan strode into the alchemy room, "You all come to testify, I want to see how a mortal can peek into the Dan Dao Dao"
————————
On the other side, when Han Lin and Dan Lao were gambling, the matter here finally reached Li Qian'er's ears.
"Oh, is there really such a person who doesn't know the height of the sky?" Li Qian'er asked Cui'er, she knew Dan Lao's level, so she didn't have any doubts about the outcome of this gamble. She was just curious, there were a lot of strange people in this poor Xiqi.
"That's right," Cui'er said to Miss, "Miss, you don't know, I heard that Dan Lao's face was going to be crooked at that time, and this is the first time I've heard that Dan Lao is so angry."
"Little girl, dare to talk nonsense" Seeing that Cui'er was neither big nor small, Li Qian'er scolded with a smile.
"Isn't this with you, Miss, I won't say that to others" Seeing that Miss is in a good mood, Cui'er also dares to joke with Miss, she almost didn't scare her to death last time on the road, but fortunately, Miss didn't blame her in the end.
"I just don't know where this person came from, if he really dies, I don't know how to deal with the aftermath for him," Cui'er said casually.
"What do you say?" Cui'er's unintentional words made Li Qian'er frown, and she suddenly thought of something before.
"I said, he didn't know where he jumped out......" Seeing that the young lady's brows were furrowed, Cui'er didn't dare to play anymore, so she repeated it carefully.
After pondering for a while, Li Qian'er suddenly asked, "Where is the test paper that person answered?"
"The room that should still be on the exam, I'll go get it," she said, and Cui'er ran out.
As soon as Cui'er went out, a black-robed man walked out of the shadow of the room, "Miss, what do you mean ......?"
"Yes, I don't make the same mistake twice"
"But this is a middle-aged man"
"Transfiguration couldn't be easier, or it wouldn't have escaped your search"
At this moment, the man in black stopped talking, and soon, Cui'er went and returned.
"Miss, the roll is here" Before she could push the door open, Cui'er's voice came in. After that, the door was slammed open.
"Ah" Obviously, Cui'er didn't expect a man in black to suddenly appear in the room, but looking at Miss's face, she didn't dare to ask more, so she hurriedly handed the roll to Miss.
Li Qian'er, who took the paper, glanced at it casually for a few times, and then stopped in front of a topic, which was a question she had personally written, and the topic was the efficacy and combination of several herbs.
It was the inspiration she had received from a bottle of herbs that she had discarded, and at the moment, the answer to this question was the standard answer she had in mind.
Seeing this answer, Li Qian'er knew that something was wrong, and she hurriedly instructed the man in black, "Uncle Li, you go to the alchemy room quickly, and when you arrive, you must adapt to the situation, and there must be no casualties."
"Yes" After receiving the order, the black-robed man disappeared into the house in a flash.
And before Cui'er could figure out what was going on, Li Qian'er also walked briskly outside the door, and Cui'er hurriedly followed.
"Miss, why are you protecting that stranger" On the way, Cui'er finally asked what she wanted to ask.
And the young lady's answer surprised her, "You are wrong, I asked Uncle Li to protect Dan Lao"
"After all, when people lose their faith, they can't think about it"
