Sneakily followed the stuffy old man out of the pawn shop, and when he came to a remote alley, the stuffy old man walking in front suddenly stopped.

"Whoosh!" Just as Lin Song frowned slightly at the old man's pause, a dart suddenly shot towards the door in front of him. Seeing this, Lin Song's head quickly deflected to one side, narrowly dodging this dangerous attack.

"Ming people don't do dark things, boy, this purple silt was purchased for the old man's life-saving benefactor back then, if you dare to do anything crooked, then don't blame the old man for being ruthless!" Turning around, the strength of the old man's five-stage spirit yuan suddenly burst out, looking at the empty alley, and said coldly.

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Song flashed out from behind the stone pillar where he was hiding, since it had been discovered, there was no need to hide, and, judging from what the stuffy old man had just said, this medicinal herb was indeed purchased by him for the teacher.

"Don't be surprised, old gentleman, the boy has taken the liberty of following him this time, and he has no malicious intentions. Bowed politely to the stuffy old man, Lin Song said.

"That's the best, the old man has to go home and concoct the five turns back to Nengdan, you can stop there. The cold chill in his eyes eased slightly, and the stuffy old man said a perfunctory sentence casually, then turned around and was about to leave.

"Xiao Jin, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you have become a bad old man!"

However, just as the stuffy old man was about to leave, an old voice that was familiar to his mind suddenly sounded behind him. His throat rolled slightly, and the stuffy old man turned around in an instant, and when he saw that the white-haired old man in front of him was the life-saving benefactor he had been looking for for decades, a line of turbid tears couldn't help dripping down.

"Senior, it's really you...."The stuffy old man muttered in a low voice with some sadness, and because of his emotion, a pair of old palms kept shaking.

The old man's actions also made Cheng Xian's eyes slightly raised, and a wave of emotion spread in his heart again. Walking slowly in front of the former, Cheng Xian gently patted the trembling shoulder of the stuffy old man, and after a while, he said softly: "I haven't seen you for decades, your medicine blending skills have also improved a lot, not bad!"

Hearing Cheng Xian's words, this stuffy old man showed an extremely rare old smile, and held Cheng Xian's hand tightly: "If it wasn't for the seniors who rescued me from the mouth of that bloodthirsty lion and personally instructed me in the medicine concoction technique, how could Jin Ke be where he is today?"

Looking at Lin Song, who was smiling behind Cheng Xian, Jin Ke couldn't help asking, "Who is this little brother?"

"This is the old man's disciple, Lin Song. Glancing back at Lin Song, Cheng Xian said.

"It turned out to be the beloved apprentice of the seniors, and I was offended in the pawnshop just now!" Hearing this, Jin Ke suddenly arched his hand towards Lin Song with an embarrassed expression, and then as if he thought of something, his palm poked into the plane bag, and the purple stasis and other medicinal materials that he traded just now were held in his hand.

"By the way, senior, this purple stasis and some other medicinal materials are all things that the senior asked Jin Keduo to pay attention to before leaving, and please take a look. With both hands respectfully handed the medicinal herbs to Cheng Xian, that look, if it was seen by other people in Xincheng, they would definitely be stunned, is this the stuffy old man with a strange temper and unkindness?

"It's rare that you have this heart, so the old man is better than obeying his fate. Looking at the many medicinal materials in Jin Ke's hand, Cheng Xian sighed slightly, and after a while, he took them all.

"I have heard for a long time that Master Jinke's medicine mixing skills are extraordinary, and now he has broken through to the intermediate level, congratulations! The kid in the pawnshop has taken the liberty of offending, and please don't blame Master Jinke!" Lin Song on the side also hugged his fists at the stuffy old man at this moment and said respectfully.

"Lin Song, little friend, don't joke with the old man. Compared with my predecessors, my medicine mixing skills are still very bad. Waving his hand hurriedly, the stuffy old man said with a smile.

"It's Lin Song's talent, according to my sense just now, although Lin Song's Xiaoyou is young, his own strength has reached the second stage of the spirit yuan, and he is also a junior superlative-grade pharmacist, such an achievement is really dazzling. Brushing his beard slightly, the stuffy old man said with admiration.

"Hmm, the old man's disciple, naturally can't be too weak. Coughing lightly, Cheng Xian said inadvertently.

His eyebrows trembled violently, Lin Song didn't expect that Cheng Xian, who had always been low-key, would put gold on his face in front of outsiders today.

"With the guidance of his predecessors, Lin Song Xiaoyou is indeed a blessed person. Jin Ke on the side nodded very approvingly, and the life-saving grace and advice of the year made De Jin Ke naturally have no objection to Cheng Xian's words.

"Seniors, farewell that day, Jin Ke has been thinking about it all the time for decades. The grace of saving his life, Jin Ke is unforgettable, and he can't repay it, so he is willing to follow his predecessors to the death, and he hopes that his predecessors will allow him. Facing Cheng Xian respectfully clenching his fists, Jin Ke said very seriously.

The old man stroked his beard slightly with his palm, but Cheng Xian did not reply immediately. Jin Ke's temperament, he knows it quite well, and since the former said so, he must have thought so in his heart. However, Lin Song's road in the future is still very long, and bringing Jin Ke to practice together will undoubtedly be extremely inconvenient to the master and apprentice.

"Lin Song and I still have very important things that have not yet been completed, those things, it is not convenient to disclose them now, if you really have this heart, you can go to the Lin family in Gengcheng to become the Lin family guest elder, my master and apprentice, I will be grateful. After a while, Cheng Xian sighed slightly, and said very seriously.

Hearing this, Lin Song's eyes, who were originally standing quietly, also lit up. If an intermediate mortal pharmacist like the stuffy old man can be allowed to become the guest elder of the family, it will definitely be of great benefit to the development and growth of the Lin family. Within Gengcheng, the four major families of Lin, Mo, Feng, and Xi each occupy one side, the Lin family is the weakest, and the Mo family is the strongest. And the Mo family as the overlord of Gengcheng, although the vast majority of the reason between this is that there is an elder of Yanjingmen like Yan Jin as the backstage, but the Mo family and the common guest elder Master Xuangui of the Gengcheng Karel Pawn Shop has undoubtedly played a big role, and the appeal of a junior superlative concoctor is not easy to ignore in Gengcheng. This time, if the stuffy old man agrees to join the Lin family, not to mention sitting on an equal footing with the Mo family, it is not difficult to catch up with the Feng and Xi families in one fell swoop.

Thinking of the Lin family, the girl in yellow and the old woman who made Lin Song miss him naturally came to Lin Song's mind. After doing the math, it has been nearly two years since Lin Song came out to practice. In the past two years, Lin Song has broken through the limit again and again, and escaped death again and again. Fighting Fire Fox, Fighting Luo Rucan, Taming Chen Dragon, Killing Luo Ying, even if the difficulties faced are extremely huge, the idea of wanting to give up has never appeared, because in Lin Song's heart, there is a belief, although it is not often mentioned, but it has always supported him all the way forward: to protect the people he wants to protect.

Without a trace, he stroked the silver ring on the ring finger of his left hand, which was a gift from Lin'er to Lin Song on his fifteenth birthday.

"Lin'er, grandmother, there are still two years to go, wait for me, believe me..." The palm of his hand was slowly clenched, and at this moment, the belief in Lin Song's heart, like a flame, ignited again. Two years later, it was the time for Mo Qi of the Mo family to marry Lin'er, and at that time, Lin Song must have the strength to call Mo Kui and even the backstage of the Mo family. Although with Cheng Xian here, the Mo family didn't dare to do anything to Lin'er, but only when Lin Song himself became strong could he give Mo Kuai and Yan Jin a real deterrent.

....

"Gengcheng Lin family, that's good, senior, when I finish concocting the five turns and return to Nengdan, I will leave for the Lin family. While Lin Song was muttering to himself in his heart, Jin Ke on the side nodded in agreement after hearing Cheng Xian's words.

"So much for the best. Seeing that Jin Ke agreed, Cheng Xian also nodded slightly.

"Senior, you and I haven't seen each other for decades, and today, we must have a drink. Such a simple request, seniors can no longer refuse!" Tightly pulling Cheng Xian's sleeve, Jin Ke said eagerly.

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xian nodded with a smile. In the meantime, he and Lin Song will rush to Tongye City, the imperial capital, but this matter is not in a hurry, and now that the old people have met, they naturally want to drink happily.

Nodding at Lin Song, the three of them walked towards Jin Ke's house with a smile and a smile, and the scene of talking and laughing made everyone who was used to seeing the serious face of the old man on the side of the road look stunned.
