Chapter 44: A Taste of the Heavenly Pill
Birds singing and flowers are fragrant, and flowing water is murmuring. In the entire Medicine King Divine Valley, at this moment, only the place where this generation of Medicine King Ji Tianlan lives still maintains the appearance of a paradise.
Ji Tianlan sat alone in the house, looking out the window at the spring garden in a daze.
Time passed in a trance, and the years did not leave many traces on the old man's body. But what he had just experienced made him feel like he was dozens of years old in an instant.
"Master!" A soft call came from outside the door, and Duan Xing and Long Yunzhou were standing outside the door, looking at Ji Tianlan quietly.
"You've been standing for a long time, haven't you, come in!" Ji Tianlan's old voice sounded, followed by a deep sigh.
Duan Xingdang walked in first, and knelt down when he saw Ji Tianlan.
His face was full of piety: "Master saved my life and passed on the alchemy technique of the apprentice, but he is actually the reborn parent of the apprentice." But Long Yunzhou is the one who saved me from fire and water many times, and it is also the hope that my father entrusted his life. He is a more important person than my life, Master, the disciple is wrong today. What punishment there is, the futile is willing to claim it. ”
Long Yunzhou also hurriedly stepped forward: "Old man, what grievances are between the two of us. You have a grudge against my uncle, you don't have to look for my uncle, and you don't have to be embarrassed by Duan Xing. I owe you my life, and I can take it whenever I want. When I save Linglong, I am willing to give it away. ”
Ji Tianlan glanced at the two of them and sighed deeply. The right hand was raised slightly, and suddenly an extremely soft force supported Duan Xing to stand up slowly.
Ji Tianlan no longer looked at the two of them, and turned her head to look at the spring color outside the window: "I am not a descendant of the Medicine King, I was picked up and adopted by the previous generation of Medicine King when I was three years old, and passed on the name of the Medicine King." ”
Duan Xing and Long Yunzhou were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then turned their heads to look at Ji Tianlan.
Ji Tianlan continued: "The master took me like his own flesh and blood, adopted me as an adopted son, and taught me the art of alchemy. It can be said that today's Ji Tianlan, if there was no stepfather, I might have died in a corner back then. ”
He turned his head suddenly, and looked at Duan Xing with a complicated look flashing in his eyes: "Do you know why I am willing to go against the rules handed down by the masters of the past generations for you? ”
Duan Xing looked at Ji Tianlan in amazement, and the feeling of emotion in his heart arose. Tears slowly slipped down, but slowly shook his head.
Ji Tianlan touched Duan Xing's long hair and wiped the tears on his face for him. It was extremely gentle and kind.
Long Yunzhou had never seen this old man have such a warm side, and he was confused by him for a while.
Ji Tianlan said softly: "When I was young, I also had a wife. My wife is as beautiful as a flower, and we love each other. Later, when we finally had children of our own, I felt like the happiest person in the world. ”
"But the good times didn't last long, and one day someone came to ask for medicine. At that time, I had not fully comprehended the essence of alchemy taught by my father-in-law, and I was helpless against the medicine that the man was asking for. I politely refused the man, but who would have thought that the man would kill my wife and threaten me with the life of my only son. ”
"But I really can't refine the elixir he wants, plus this person has a demonic obstacle in his heart, if I refine that elixir for him, it will inevitably cause more innocent beings to suffer. ”
Ji Tianlan sighed remorsefully: "That night, there was wind and thunder. After the man killed my wife, he ran into the rain with my only son, and disappeared from heaven and earth to be seen again. ”
"For so many years, I have been crazy about refining medicine, attracting all the masters in the world to come to my Medicine King Valley to ask for medicine. Regardless of whether the person who comes is right or evil, I have only one request for anyone who takes my elixir. He found the man of his time for me, and came to me with his head and my son. ”
"After so many years, although the world is big, I have never heard from that person again. Just when I was about to despair, I suddenly found you. Ji Tianlan looked at Duan Xing silently with a happy look on her face.
"You look like my original child, and if he grows up to your age, he will be like you. Ji Tianlan slowly touched Duan Xing's face from top to bottom.
From the eyes to the nose, and then from the nose to the mouth, it seems that you can't touch it in a lifetime.
"I have already lost my child once, how can I lose my child again? Ji Tianlan said affirmatively, the love in her eyes was even stronger.
Duan Xing looked at his master stupidly, he had been with Ji Tianlan for a few years, and he seemed to know the person in front of him for the first time. He never thought that Shizun's kindness to him actually stemmed from the fact that he was very similar to his son.
"Master........." Duan Xing's head was buried deeply, and he didn't dare to look at Ji Tianlan's eyes. Because the old man in front of him has been completely hurt by his willfulness.
Long Yunzhou stood aside indifferently, he didn't know how to evaluate it at the moment.
Comfort Duan Xing or be grateful to Ji Tianlan, all of this is not important to him as an outsider at all, he is just a bystander who has no need to exist.
"Okay, don't cry. If you do it, you will do it, the master will violate the door rules for you, even if you lose my life today, it is the master's own choice. Remember, as long as you are in this Medicine King Divine Valley for one day, Master will protect you for one day. If it's for a lifetime, Master will protect you for the rest of your life. ”
Ji Tianlan patted Duan Xing's shoulder hard, and the look of love in her eyes became even heavier.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Long Yunzhou on the side. The color of love suddenly retracted, and a look of impatience appeared in his eyes.
"Now you should know that I only saved you for the sake of his face, right? You guys are so troublesome, and you only bring trouble. Now that it's over, let's go. ”
He doesn't have a good impression of outsiders like Long Yunzhou, in fact, he doesn't have a good impression of any outsiders. It was because of these outsiders that he was forever separated from his wife back then, and he suffered the pain of separation.
Long Yunzhou smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Yes, I'm just here to say goodbye to you." My friend was captured by the Li family, and I'm going to save her. ”
Ji Tianlan's face was cold, but a trace of essence flashed in her eyes and looked at Long Yunzhou: "These are none of my business, but I want to remind you." The Li family is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and few people in the entire Dragon Soul Continent dare to go to the Li family to save people. Life is not easy to come by, and I advise you to cherish it. I can save you once, but I can't save you for the rest of my life. ”
Long Yunzhou shook his head with a smile: "Thank you seniors for your concern, life is very precious." But compared to the people you care about, even if you throw it, what is it? Long only pursues this belief in this life, if he has to use his life as the price, then Long has no hesitation. ”
Ji Tianlan's eyes were full of essence, but his mouth was still cold: "Who cares about you, it's just that I saved my life and threw myself into the net, I feel worthless." ”
After a pause, he muttered a little and said, "But you kid values love and righteousness, and has a temper with my old man." Although I hate you very much, your little life is mine, and no one else can take it easily without my consent. ”
He fumbled and took out a small wooden box from his chest and threw it to Long Yunzhou. Long Yunzhou grabbed it, and a faint medicinal fragrance suddenly permeated his body. Before I opened the wooden box, I could already smell the medicinal fragrance.
He gently opened the wooden box, and a shimmering gray pill was placed in the wooden box. Duan Xing exclaimed at the first sight: "It's a first-class pill." ”
"Yes, it's a great pill. Ji Tianlan smiled: "Your little doll's cultivation has reached the peak of the Illusory Heaven Realm, and you are only about to enter the Illusory God Realm." ”
"From what I've seen of you, the reason you haven't made it to the next is because the blood in your body is very weird. If you are not mistaken, it should be that the two bloodlines are merging. Until you are completely merged, your cultivation will stay here and stop. ”
Long Yunzhou was moved, nodded and said, "What my predecessors said is extremely true, there are indeed two bloodlines in my body that are at the critical moment of fusion. ”
Ji Tianlan smiled proudly: "I can see it at a glance, hehe." My Heavenly Pill is not available to everyone, and cultivators generally encounter bottlenecks when they are about to break through to the peak of their cultivation, and they often stop for the rest of their lives. ”
"Using the Heaven Snatcher Pill to break the bottleneck, so as to successfully break through the cultivation, this is the greatest use of the Heaven Snatching Pill. Ji Tianlan smiled mysteriously.
Long Yunzhou was really moved now, he had been at the peak of the Illusory Heaven Realm for a while. If you can successfully break through to the Illusion God Realm this time, then going to the Li family to save Linglong must have added a few more opportunities.
"Boy, don't die in the Li family. Remember, your life is mine, I will not allow you to die, you will never be allowed to die. Ji Tianlan looked at Long Yunzhou deadly, then closed her eyes and never spoke again.
Long Yunzhou bowed deeply to Ji Tianlan, this strange old man is actually a lover of personality, and he does everything according to his own preferences.
If he looks good, he will use his life to maintain it, and if he doesn't see it well, then he can only end this life in his alchemy furnace.
Duan Xing and Long Yunzhou walked out of the house respectfully, Long Yunzhou looked down at the Heaven Snatching Pill in his hand, and his heart was full of emotion and excitement, which was very complicated.
"Yunzhou, don't live up to Master's expectations. This Heaven Snatching Pill is not easy to practice, although it is a first-class Heaven Snatching Pill, but it has collected countless precious medicinal materials, and it will take several years of refining to obtain. Ordinary cultivators will greatly increase their cultivation if they eat it, and if you eat it at this moment, it will definitely help you successfully advance to the Illusory God Realm. ”
Duan Xing looked at Long Yunzhou and suddenly sighed: "Yunzhou, I'm really sorry, I can't go with you this time." Master is getting older, and you can see him too. I'm going to be there for him, and you can only .........."
Long Yunzhou smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, even if you are here, I know that your heart will definitely be by my side." We have gone all the way, and we have to go through the rest of the way. ”
He looked at Duan Xing deeply and said, "Remember what you once said, you want to become the most powerful alchemist in this world, even stronger than your father." ”
Duan Xing looked at the sky in a daze, and slowly muttered in his mouth: "Father, father.........."
