Chapter 15 Good intentions
Ye Yi waited impatiently, and he was embarrassed to disturb Tianlan, so he asked Xiaotang for some common sense about alchemy.
"Is alchemy all that is good? I mean, will it succeed?"
"Of course not, the success rate of different alchemists is different. The more advanced the alchemist, the higher the success rate, oh, the quality of the pill is also related to the medicine used. ”
"Wouldn't it be in vain if it failed?"
"Why do you think there are so few pills on the market? If the success rate is 100%, the alchemy will not be on the verge of being lost. Alas, you must ask why it was lost...... Sure enough, okay. Alchemy has a long history, flourishing in ancient times tens of thousands of years ago, and in ancient times, many precious pills have disappeared, and many medicinal materials used in pills have also become extinct. In addition, the prosperity of magic, some water-based techniques and a few special techniques can play a role in curing diseases and saving people, and the medical Tao itself has also developed greatly, and alchemy does not seem to be so necessary. And ordinary people have to spend a lot of time and energy to study alchemy in order to achieve success, it is too difficult and not cost-effective, so ......"
"That's really a pity......" Hearing Xiaotang say this, Ye Yi understood a little.
"But," Xiao Tang said with a smile, "Divine doctors are not necessarily alchemists, and alchemists are all divine doctors! And as long as the success rate is relatively stable, the alchemy industry is simply a job that is guaranteed to make money without losing money! Take this primary antidote pill as an example, how much does it cost?"
"It seems to be a gold coin......" Ye Yi recalled.
Xiao Tang said mysteriously: "How much do you guess this furnace pill can be sold?" She deliberately stopped selling Guanzi for a while, until Ye Yi was really curious, and then said: "You can buy more than eight hundred gold coins!"
"Huh?" Ye Yi's eyes widened, eight hundred times?!Is it so exaggerated?
"Don't you believe it?" Xiao Tang crossed his mouth and said, "It's all a matter of supply and demand, do you think, where would ordinary travelers and adventurers go out without bringing some healing medicines, antidote pills, and the like? Don't talk about yourself! You are not a normal traveler...... Although there are not many poisons that can be detoxified by the primary detoxification pill, it is better than practicality, and there are too many mercenaries and the like today. For example, the group of mercenaries just now, if they have a bottle of antidote pill in their hands, even if they can't detoxify, they can delay the spread of poison. That person probably won't be dead!"
At this point, both men fell silent.
The alchemy lasted for about two hours, and it was necessary to add medicinal herbs and water at all times, and to replenish the spiritual energy into the Nine Dragons Ding from time to time. The difficulty is not high, but you must always be cautious, any mistake in any component will lead to the failure of alchemy, which is really a draining process.
Finally, Jiulong Ding made a soft sound of "poof", Tianlan exhaled lightly, opened the lid of the tripod, and a burst of fragrance came to the nose, and everyone in the room was refreshed. There were twenty cyan pills in the ding, which looked round and smooth. This is the antidote pill.
Tianlan took out two jade bottles, each containing ten detoxification pills, threw one of the bottles to Ye Yi, and said, "Just eat one, and you can put the rest away by yourself in case you need it." With a wave of his hand, the huge Nine Dragons Refining Pill and the remaining medicinal materials disappeared without a trace.
Ye Yi swallowed the antidote pill in one bite, and suddenly felt cool from the tip of his tongue to his throat, like pouring a glass of ice water on a hot summer, which was very refreshing. He took the jade bottle and said embarrassedly, "You want to give it to me? This is worth a lot of money, isn't it? It's too valuable!"
Tianlan smiled and said: "It's nothing, take it, you won't be at a loss if you are poisoned in the future." You take the antidote pill, there is still a period of time before the effect of the medicine is fully effective, go back to the room and have a good rest, and you will be fine tomorrow!"
Xiaotang walked over, took Tianlan's right arm, pulled him to the side of the bed, and said, "Son, you should have a good rest! Look at how bad your face is! Come on! Sleep for a while!" she glanced at Ye Yi, who immediately left with a sense of humor and closed the door.
"It's okay, Childe, you really don't care too much about what the old doctor says. Didn't Senior Cang think of a way? The senior was so powerful, there must be no problem. She said with her eyes as gentle as water, patting Tianlan's shoulder.
"I know, you don't have to worry. He whispered back, but instead turned his head away from looking her in the eye.
What is he hiding? Is he afraid that she will see the hesitation in his eyes, or is he afraid to see her eyes full of hope? If the end is already predestined, will that hope become a burden on his heart? When despair comes, is it not that the greater the hope, the more unbearable it becomes?
She didn't know what kind of mood he was in at this time, and maybe he was the only one in the world who could understand that feeling. If she could, she would be willing to hurt him and die on his behalf...... However, all she could do was to encourage him optimistically and accompany him. Is that enough?
Not enough, not enough, she wanted to do more for him, wanted to help him a little more, wanted to get to know him a little more.
Childe, can't you give me such a chance?
She wanted to say this, but she couldn't say anything, and her bowels were soft, and tears rolled in her eyes unconsciously.
Seeing that her eyes were hazy with tears, he softened for a while, and pretended to be angry: "Don't cry, be obedient!"
Xiaotang muttered aggrievedly, "But...... But ......"
"Okay, don't cry, I'll teach you new sword moves tomorrow, okay?" This time, without her opening his mouth, he promised in advance.
When Xiaotang heard this, he immediately burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Okay!
Such conversations are common between the two of them, and almost every day, Xiaotang will use various methods to force Tianlan to make some commitments. She knew that he was the most committed person, and when he might leave her at any time, Xiaotang hoped to give him a belief in this way. In fact, she didn't really want to learn many sword moves, but she knew that once she agreed on tomorrow, he would definitely live well today—in order to fulfill this promise.
No one knew how much she felt sorry for him, and she racked her brains to come up with such an unsolvable solution. It may be that Tianlan has a miserable life every day, but she is more painful than him, because this worry that she will lose her loved one at any time torments her all the time. It was like a whirlpool, and she was completely caught up in it.
She fell asleep unconsciously on the table, and she was still frowning tightly in her sleep, as if she had an untiring knot. Tianlan walked lightly to her side, sighed faintly, and covered her with a coat.
He is delicate, how can he not know her good intentions? It's just that destiny is hard to disobey......
