Chapter 283: The Emperor's New Clothes

The cheers gradually subsided, Song Yang shook his sleeves, held his breath, and lit the flames on the top of the Dingtai.

The surrounding crowd was also attentive, although they couldn't understand it, but they were happy to see the excitement.

"Tut-tut! Look at this young man's methods, it's really amazing!"

"It's worthy of being an alchemist, it's so good to make a fire!"

"Yes, it's much cooler than the action of burning the kang in the countryside!"

The crowd was amazed.

Song Yang was a little carried away by the crowd's praise, his heart trembled, his hands trembled, and the flames dimmed.

Feeling the unkind gaze of the master beside him, Song Yang coughed, hurriedly stabilized his palm, and stabilized the flame again.

The flames burned, and the temperature gradually climbed.

"Naling grass, earth dragon soil, worship Buddha wood ......"

One by one, the ordinary medicinal materials that were more than twenty years old were carefully grasped by Song Yang in his hands, and then put into the medicine tripod.

The medicinal herbs began to churn in the pot, and the flames under the pot became more vigorous.

Song Yang stood aside, his palms spread, cautiously exuding his aura towards the medicine pod.

"Eh, I seem to have asked about the medicinal fragrance......

"What a disciple of Taidou!"

The thin medicinal fragrance filled the air, making the crowd of onlookers admire.

Hearing the title of "Taidou" by others, Niu Yidan also stood proudly and was quite complacent.

Li Dong opened his eyes and glanced at it, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Open...... Open!"

After a while, only to hear Song Yang's violent shout, the Ding furnace bloomed with a faint golden light, and then, a cloud of turbid medicinal liquid condensed in the furnace.

Song Yang secretly said badly: "Failed!"

Looking at the state of this medicinal liquid, it is really full of impurities, not to mention a first-grade elixir, not even a half-grade, it is said that at Song Yang's age, if he has a little talent, he will not be able to refine this virtue if he finds a good master to take it.

In Li Dong's mind, either the apprentice's qualifications are stupid, or the master is blind to teach a few things.

There was a hint of burnt paste in the smell of medicine, and the crowd frowned, losing the excitement just now, and glanced forward at the liquid medicine in the Ding furnace, smacking their lips.

"This ...... Why does it feel a little weird?"

"Eh, you don't understand, I think this medicine must be very effective!"

"Well, I think so too, after all, I am a disciple of Taidou!"

The crowd echoed, and no one dared to question this disciple who was a master of alchemy, as if he didn't understand anything.

Song Yang looked at the finished product he had refined, and his expression was also very embarrassed, but when he heard the words of the people around him, the arrogance on his face returned.

Niu Yidan's face was not very good-looking, but seeing that everyone was still touching him, he couldn't help but speak:

"Ahem, this liquid just looks turbid and dirty, but in fact it is just a manifestation of fighting poison with poison, if ordinary people take it, not to mention dispelling wind and cold, even the long-term suffering of the five intestines can be removed!

If it is placed at the auction of the rich, it will not be a problem to sell for 1.8 million!"

Niu Yidan flicked his sleeves and looked superior.

Song Yang heard that the master was making up for him, and he also nodded hurriedly.

"I see!"

"No wonder, I was clumsy just now, thinking that the medicine refining failed!"

"Taidou is Taidou!"

Just when the crowd was praising again and again, a young child's voice suddenly sounded:

"Don't you smell mush, I feel like you're going to die if you drink it!"

The crowd looked at it suddenly, and saw a little girl with pigtails who looked like she was seven or eight years old, pointing to the medicine pod and saying in a milky voice.

The girl's mother hurriedly blocked the child behind her and glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense, that's the master, how could the master make a mistake!"

Then he apologized to everyone again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry everyone, the child is not sensible!"

Niu Yidan and Song Yang couldn't help but be embarrassed when they saw that this little kid actually told the truth.

However, after all, the master has been trained for many years, and his face is still a little thick, and when he heard the woman's explanation, he waved his hand: "Forget it, Tong Yan Wuji!"

Others also echoed: "What do children know! Parents should be optimistic, don't interrupt!"

The little girl was still struggling: "It's obviously just boiled, why don't you admit it......"

The woman covered the child's mouth: "Don't be ashamed of you!"

"I think kids are right. ”

At this time, a young figure pushed aside the crowd, walked to the center, and said indifferently.

When he said this, the crowd was stunned, and then they all said angrily: "Why is there another person who doesn't know how to do it!"

"Get out of here, don't talk nonsense here!"

"That's right, hurry up and get out, the turtle that hasn't grown all the hair!"

Invective erupted.

Song Yang's eyes were gloomy: "Do you think this kid is right? You are as ignorant as her?"

Niu Yidan looked at Li Dong coldly and said, "Young man, don't open your mouth if you don't understand, didn't your teacher teach you this truth in class?"

Li Dong looked at the master and apprentice who were in camouflage, and then looked at the group of people around him who were really ignorant and worried about being exposed to their ignorance, and sneered:

"Are you putting on the emperor's new clothes?"

After speaking, he ignored their nonsense, strode to the little girl who was stopped by the woman, squatted down, and said to her with a smile:

"You're right, that pot of medicine is poison, those two people, not a hero, but two liars, you are a smart and brave girl. ”

The woman was stunned.

The little girl broke free from her mother's block, her little hands were behind her back, her little pink face was full of red fluttering colors, her little teeth bit her lower lip, and she said excitedly and shyly:

"He, I had a bad feeling when he was refining medicine, and the order in which he put in the medicinal herbs was not right. ”

Listening to the little girl's timid answer, Li Dong's eyes froze, and he asked, "Little girl, how do you think it's right to put it in?"

The little girl shook her pigtails and said in a tone that she had memorized the text: "Put in the green grass first, then the black branches, and the yellow-brown clod of soil should be put last." ”

Li Dong looked at the girl's eyes, pure and mirror-free, without impurities.

Reaching out and pinching the little girl's pink cheek: "You are great, much better than them." ”

"Thank you. The little girl lowered her head and smiled shyly.

The people around exploded.

"What nonsense?"

"He said Niu Taidou was a liar?"

"Isn't this teaching bad children!"

The woman also came back to her senses and quickly stopped the little girl behind her: "Nuonuo, stay away from strangers!"

Song Yang and Niu Yidan heard that they were demoted to liars by this young man, and their faces turned black with anger.

Niu Yidan shouted: "Boy, you have to apologize for the abuse you just hauled!"

Song Yang echoed: "Yes, apologize!"

Li Dong squinted at them: "Apologize?

Niu Yidan squinted slightly: "Just insult my prestige with your yellow mouth and white teeth!"

Li Dongdao: "The smell of this medicine has spread here, you tell me, where is your prestige?"

Niu Yidan's words were stagnant: "I ......"

Li Dong's eyes were like knives: "Do you have the grade of a mere grade?"

"You ......"

"With you, an apprentice who is less than half a day?"

"I ......"

Li Dong raised his hand suddenly, pointed to the banner behind the master and apprentice, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Or do you rely on your self-styled word 'Taidou'?"

"Boy, don't you ......"

Li Dong's eyes widened suddenly: "Refining medicine is a solemn craft, how many masters and predecessors have gone forward and succeeded, but you half-people are ruining the public! Say that you are a liar, why not accept it?!"
