Chapter 138: Helpless
The old man looked at Li Ding, and suddenly said: "You don't need to hide anything in front of Lao Tzu anymore, this little girl has already told Lao Tzu everything, if it weren't for your love and righteousness, what blessing would you have to take that soul rejuvenation pill." ”
Li Dingcai didn't return the soul pill no matter what, he didn't know how the old man had a conversation with Liu Ling before, but looking at Liu Ling's appearance, he understood it at once, it seemed that she really said everything.
"Then you can't talk nonsense, since his father can find someone who can refine the Source Life Pill, it means that there are other people in this world who can refine this pill. Li Ding stood up violently and pointed to the old man's nose.
"Hehe, ignorant child, it's not an exaggeration to say that you are smart, do you know what the price it takes to refine a Source Life Pill?" said the old man with a smile.
Li Ding was stunned for a moment, shook his head blankly, and the old man smiled bitterly and continued: "What is the source of life, it should be said that it is the source of life, the reason why a source of life pill has the miraculous effect of nourishing the body and sustaining life is because the pill contains the source of life, do you know how this source of life comes from......
The old man's eyes suddenly became sharp, just like when he first heard the Yuan Ming Pill from Li Ding's mouth before, with a killing intent, Li Ding's heart trembled, and for a while Li Ding seemed to realize something, but he couldn't understand it immediately.
"If you want to obtain this source of life, you must kill one person at the cost of human life to become a pill, do you still think that Lao Tzu did not refine this yin damage pill because of his lack of level?" the old man said fiercely.
Li Ding only felt a shock all over his body, and sat back on the stone bench weakly, his eyes flashing and speechless.
Six-grade pill, from Huayang's mouth, Li Ding clearly knows that even a seven-grade alchemist may not be able to succeed every time, and even if he succeeds, he must reach a certain level of color to be regarded as a pill, and kill one person to become a pill, if this is the case, then how many people must be killed to refine a high-grade Yuanming pill.
Li Ding didn't dare to think about it anymore, although his hands were already stained with human life, he killed a wicked person, but who could guarantee that everyone killed by the alchemist who gave Liu Ling the Origin Destiny Pill was a wicked person, I am afraid that no one could make this guarantee.
"Li Ding, just let me stay here and leave quietly, aren't you going to the royal city? As a senior of Qing Yanzi, I will never go to the Alchemist Conference, I think you can go on the road with your senior, that will be a lot less trouble." ”
Just when Li Ding was at a loss, Liu Ling's voice came faintly, and his heart trembled when he heard it, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and suddenly raised his head to Qing Yanzi and said, "Senior, isn't there any other way?"
At this moment, Li Ding had completely let down his guard, no matter what Qing Yanzi had done to him before, but he was at least alive now, but did Liu Ling really only have one month to live? Thinking that once Liu had stayed in that bitter cold place for Liu Ling for ten years, he must not just give up the entrustment of his life-saving benefactor.
In response to Li Ding's question, Qing Yanzi looked at Liu Ling with a wry smile and shook his head with an embarrassed face.
Gritting his teeth, Li Ding only felt that his heart was numb, but he suddenly remembered something, and asked Xiao Dan in his heart: "Xiao Dan, didn't you say that as long as Liu Ling takes the fifth Source Life Pill, he can remove the beast poison on his body?"
But I heard Xiao Dan say leisurely: "I only remember that the Yuanming Pill has the effect of getting up and coming back to life, and it is said that taking five pills can change the physique and prolong life for a hundred years. ”
"But why didn't you tell me that the Source Destiny Pill was such a yin pill?" Li Ding said angrily.
"You didn't ask me, and what if you know it, maybe even Liu Yatou and her father don't know where this elixir came from, otherwise do you think he would accept that kind of elixir with his surname?" Xiao Dan said.
Although they only got along for two days, Li Ding, who was Liu Yi, had a deep memory, and couldn't help but smile miserably, and said in his heart: "If Mr. Liu knew how the Yuan Ming Pill was refined, he would never have made such a deal back then." ”
However, when he turned his head and saw Liu Ling, Li Ding immediately became unsure, maybe for the sake of his daughter, Liu would really do that kind of thing, so he would become a pharmacist with a sense of guilt.
The scene suddenly became quiet and abnormal, and after a while, looking at Li Ding, who was with a heavy face, Qing Yanzi said: "At this point, you don't need to think about it, let's go with the flow, you and this little girl Pingshui meet, it is rare to have this heart." ”
As he spoke, the old man said to Liu Ling again: "You are a little girl, you can be so strong, it really makes me, an old man, a little admired, it's just ......"
Qing Yanzi wanted to speak and stopped, revealing an unbearable expression, but Liu Ling suddenly smiled and said: "Why do seniors need to be like this, if it wasn't for Sister Tongzhu and seniors to rescue before, Ling'er may not even be able to live for a month, but ...... Please also ask the seniors to take care of Li ...... No, take care of my brother......"
Hearing this, looking at Liu Ling, whose face was dark and blue and forced to smile, Li Ding only felt that his heart trembled violently, and he could no longer control the sadness in his heart, and tears welled up in his eyes and said, "You...... What did you just call me?"
Liu Ling smiled again and said softly: "Since I was a child, I have never had any relatives except my father, so I want to ...... If there really is a brother like you...... That's it. ”
What Li Ding didn't know was that Liu Ling, who was strong on the surface, was a girl after all. Although Pingshui met, from the night on the mountain outside Chenjia Village, Liu Ling felt that Li Ding was not a bad person, and he was different from many people in Chenjia Village who had been with him for many years. Although there was a little accident in the middle, it did not prevent Liu Ling from thinking about Li Ding.
And since the moment she arrived at Cuiwei Mountain, Li Ding has never given up on her, she has experienced from Li Ding that only her father has given him care, and when Li Ding called himself her brother in front of the woman in green, Liu Ling actually had a little joy in her heart, and then Li Ding's actions She has learned from Qingyanzi that she never imagined that she could have a brother who cares about her like Li Ding.
It's just that Liu Ling would never have thought that Li Ding, who has been an orphan since he was a child, has no one close to him except for his father, so why doesn't he want to have his relatives by his side. At this time, hearing Liu Ling's "brother", Li Ding's fragile nerve was deeply stabbed.
"Senior!" Li Ding turned his head suddenly, and Qing Yanzi was stunned with a pair of teary eyes.
After a moment, Qing Yanzi gritted his teeth as if he had been inspired by a struggle of thoughts, and said with a solemn face: "This girl should be weak and tight now, it is better to let her rest more, although your recovery is amazing, but you also need to take care of it, I see that we go out and talk." ”
Li Ding didn't know if Liu Ling heard the meaning of Qing Yanzi's words, but he had already understood, turned around and said to Liu Ling: "Have a good rest, I'll come to see you later." With that, he hurriedly followed Qing Yanzi and walked outside the small courtyard.
The two came to the pharmacy one after the other, and after Qing Yanzi sat down, he motioned for Li Ding to sit on the chair next to him.
As soon as he sat down, Li Ding couldn't wait to say: "Seniors, don't blame Li Ding's rudeness before, Li Ding has already deeply experienced the strength and means of his predecessors, if there is another way, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, please tell your seniors." ”
"Actually...... It's not that it's completely impossible, but I'm afraid it's in vain to tell you. Qing Yanzi said.
"Please also ask the seniors to tell Li Ding no matter what. Li Ding suddenly got up and bowed to Qing Yanzi.
"Alas. Qing Yanzi sighed lightly and helped Li Ding to sit down and said: "In fact, in addition to the Yuanming Pill, even Lao Tzu knows that there are five kinds of pills that can save the little girl, but unfortunately these pills are not within your reach at all, because there are four possibilities that do not exist at all." Qing Yanzi said.
Li Ding was stunned, he had just heard a glimmer of hope from Qing Yanzi's words, but he was denied by Qing Yanzi himself, and couldn't help but hurriedly ask: "Senior, what does it mean that it doesn't exist?"
"The pill above the ninth grade is said to have never appeared in this world since the Seven Kingdoms melee a thousand years ago, isn't that the same as not existing?"
"Jiupin!" After gasping, Li Ding immediately asked, "Isn't there only one left?"
"Eight Rank Heavenly Mandate Pill, it's a pity that this pill is not obtained through ordinary exchange of benefits and money, and it ...... There is only one person in this world who can refine the horror of this elixir, but Lao Tzu thinks that even if you can find him, he will never take risks for an irrelevant little girl. Qing Yanzi said.
"Eight pins!" Li Ding exclaimed, he understood that even eight pins were not what he could imagine at all, but he still asked: "Who is he, what does the predecessor mean by taking risks?"
"This person's surname is Hong Mingrui, the national teacher of Tianyun Country, the only nine-grade alchemist in the world, but whether he really entered the list of the nine grades is only a rumor, but twenty years ago, he was able to refine the eight-grade Xuanling Pill, presumably after so many years, the realm must have gone to a new level. It's just that the birth of the Eight Rank Pill will definitely trigger the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, and the Heavenly Thunder Nether Realm is not something that ordinary people can bear, who is willing to offend the power of the Heavenly Thunder for the sake of irrelevant people?"
After listening to Qing Yanzi's words, Li Ding only felt empty in his heart, lowered his head, and asked himself in his heart, could Liu Ling really have to wait for death so silently. On one side was the Six-Rank Origin Destiny Pill that needed to kill one person to become a pill, and on the other side was the Eight-Rank Heavenly Destiny Pill that he couldn't get at all, and Li Ding once again felt his helplessness.
For a moment, Li Ding seemed to understand Liu Yi's mood back then, maybe Liu once hadn't tried other methods to treat Liu Ling, but the reason why he finally chose to use the Source Life Pill was probably that those high-grade pills were not something he could get his hands on at all.
"Origin Pill, Origin Pill......" Li Ding muttered, and suddenly he raised his head and said to Qing Yanzi: "Senior, although you don't bother to do that yin thing, but since this Origin Pill really exists, can you get one from elsewhere?"
Hearing Li Ding's words, Qing Yanzi was obviously surprised, as if he didn't want to believe that Li Ding would say such a thing, and said with some anger: "Don't say no, even if there is, what is the difference between conniving at others to kill people in order to save a life and being evil yourself." ”
Li Ding was stunned when he said this, and suddenly woke up and felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but stay for a moment.
