Chapter 133: Bad Fate
Yinyun Peak is the most remote mountain peak in the Divine Medicine Valley, Qin Tianzong and Yuan Zhenrong spent most of the hour to walk from Wanshengtang to Yinyun Peak, this is because one of them is a powerhouse of the Mysteries Secret Realm, and the other has practiced the Phantom Step. If it were an ordinary outer disciple, it was estimated that it might not be able to complete this journey in half a day.
However, Yuan Zhenrong and Qin Tianzong's minds were not on the road, and they were strolling while exchanging insights and understandings on elixir.
Yuan Zhenrong and Qin Tianzong seemed to enjoy this way of communication very much, you must know that the scenery in the Divine Medicine Valley is still very beautiful and pleasant, if you directly use the crane to go to Yinyun Peak, you will undoubtedly miss a lot of roadside beauty.
"No, how can the Star Mist Grass be used in medicine with the Flame Vine, this is highly poisonous, you are not right!"
"Adding Yunlu to the True Yuan Pill can greatly improve the quality, how come I've never heard of it?"
“......”
Along the way, Qin Tianzong tried to share the alchemy theories and techniques he had summarized in his previous life with Yuan Zhenrong, but it caused Yuan Zhenrong's fierce reaction.
This made Qin Tianzong certain of one thing, that is, although Yuan Zhenrong's current medicine refining ability was outstanding in the Divine Medicine Valley, it was 108,000 miles different from the medicine refining ability when he officially accepted him as an apprentice in his previous life.
In other words, before the arrival of that frenzy of alchemy reform, Yuan Zhenrong's alchemy ability was obviously far inferior to his own.
When did the frenzy of alchemy reform in the previous life happen?
Qin Tianzong frowned and pondered for a while, but he was not impressed at all.
Qin Tianzong followed Yuan Zhenrong as a medicine boy at the age of seventeen, until he was accepted as an official disciple by Yuan Zhenrong at the age of thirty, and he never walked out of the Yin Cloud Peak in the past thirteen years, that is to say, the medicine refining reform took place in one of these thirteen years.
After sharing four or five experiences in medicine refining with Yuan Zhenrong in a row, they were all thought by Yuan Zhenrong to be whimsical, Qin Tianzong stopped continuing, and he was now very glad that he came to the Divine Medicine Valley in time and learned about the current level of medicine refining in time.
If you venture into the Martial Spirit Continent for an adventure, but expose what you think are ordinary alchemy theories and techniques, you will definitely put yourself in an extremely dangerous situation.
"Tianzong, the way of refining medicine must be bold and innovative, but the most basic principle still has to be followed, if you don't even care about the conflict of medicine surname pharmacology, then it's not called innovation, then nonsense!" Although Yuan Zhenrong disagreed with some of Qin Tianzong's theories and views, Yuan Zhenrong still did not change his love for Qin Tianzong, and he couldn't help but teach Qin Tianzong seriously.
"Yes, what Uncle Shi said is that Tianzong must reflect on himself after he goes back. "Qin Tianzong really wanted to say loudly to Yuan Zhenrong, you once taught me these things.
However, thinking of Yuan Zhenrong's stubborn and conceited surname, Qin Tianzong did not refute it with great interest, but nodded honestly and admitted his mistake.
When it comes to understanding the pharmacology of the surname of medicine, Qin Tianzong is ten million times stronger than the current Yuan Zhenrong, but seeing the white hair on Yuan Zhenrong's temples, Qin Tianzong couldn't bear it for a while, although he could refute Yuan Zhenrong to the end, and even do experiments in front of him to prove that everything he said was correct.
But if he did that, with Yuan Zhenrong's stubbornness and conceit, what a heavy blow would it be to him? The old man has been immersed in the elixir field for decades, and the result is not as powerful as your young whimsy?
Of course, this is not to say that Qin Tianzong has given up the idea of continuing to exchange medicine refining experience with Yuan Zhenrong, the future will still be long, everything must pay attention to ways and methods, and get along with a stubborn and conceited person like Yuan Zhenrong, the method of boiling frogs in warm water is obviously more effective.
Yuan Zhenrong obviously didn't know that in a short period of time, so many thoughts had flashed in Qin Tianzong's mind, and he also thought that Qin Tianzong was hurt by a few words of his own, so he couldn't help but smile and encouraged Qin Tianzong: "Tianzong, you can completely answer the theoretical exam questions of the great pharmacist twice in a row in ten breaths, which shows that your grasp of the pharmacology of the medicine surname is still very solid. ”
"You also know that I have a very solid grasp of the pharmacology of the surname medicine!" Qin Tianzong couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and slandered in his heart, this is called Xiucai meeting soldiers, and it is unreasonable. Qin Tianzong would have so many scruples in the face of Yuan Zhenrong, and if another person dared to say this, he would have already refuted the other party to the point of incompleteness.
Qin Tianzong originally planned to share what was in his mind with Yuan Zhenrong one by one, but after realizing that what he had in his mind was too shocking for the current elixir realm, he had to temporarily dispel this idea.
In the following time, Qin Tianzong was sad to find that he didn't know what to say to Yuan Zhenrong, to be precise, he had a stomach, but he didn't dare to say it, after all, he and Yuan Zhenrong were "first contact", and there were many topics that he was inconvenient to mention.
And Yuan Zhenrong has been dealing with elixirs all his life, and his ability to receive people and things is obviously lacking, Qin Tianzong doesn't take the initiative to find a topic, and he doesn't know what to say, so the atmosphere in the house suddenly became awkward.
"Hey, isn't that Senior Sister Gu?" When Qin Tianzong's eyes swept out of the window boredly, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, and he couldn't help but light up his eyes.
Seeing that beautiful figure, Qin Tianzhong was so excited that he almost rushed out of the house.
However, Qin Tianzong finally took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement, thinking in his heart how to get close to this girl who was closest to him in his previous life.
Yuan Zhenrong was a little absent-minded because he was hanging the experiment of the alchemy room in his heart, so he didn't notice Qin Tianzong's abnormal expression.
"Uncle Shi, I see that you are quite tired after a busy day, so let's talk about it here today. Before Tianzong returned to Broken Cloud Peak, he thought of going around Yinyun Peak and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Yinyun Peak, I wonder if it is convenient for Uncle Shi to send a medicine boy to help him find the way?" Qin Tianzong had been by Yuan Zhenrong's side for more than ten years, and when he saw Yuan Zhenrong's absent-minded appearance, he immediately understood Yuan Zhenrong's embarrassment.
Yuan Zhenrong's face suddenly relaxed when he heard this, and he hurriedly ordered the medicine boy to accompany Qin Tian to visit Yinyun Peak.
When Qin Tianzong heard the familiar sound of small broken footsteps coming from the door, Qin Tianzong found that his body was actually trembling uncontrollably.
Coming in from outside the courtyard was a girl of about twenty years old, dressed in a light gray elixir master apprentice robe, with a thick and long braid behind her back.
Perhaps just because of the care of the herbs, the girl's fair face was full of stains, the girl's face was small and delicate, the curvature of the face was just right, and a pair of eyes were large and bright, like a pool of clear spring water, which could make people see through her heart.
"Keiko, you first put down the work at hand, accompany this senior brother to take a turn in Yinyun Peak, and then send the senior brother out. Yuan Zhenrong glanced at the girl who came in with a loving face, and commanded softly.
Hearing Yuan Zhenrong's words, the girl nodded heavily, glanced at Qin Tianzong with a pair of eyes full of respect, and then made a gesture of please, motioning for Qin Tianzong to go with her.
"Tianzong, Keiko, this child is good at everything, but he can't speak by nature, and Uncle Shi has developed an elixir for several years, but he hasn't been able to heal Keiko, it's a pity. Seeing Qin Tianzong staring at Huizi in a daze, Yuan Zhenrong thought that Qin Tianzong wondered why Gu Huizi didn't speak, and he couldn't help but explain.
"Oh. Qin Tian replied absentmindedly, then showed a friendly smile to Gu Keiko and followed.
He followed behind Gu Huizi step by step, staring at this beautiful and familiar figure, and scenes of bitter memories slipped through Qin Tianzong's mind.
Before Qin Tianzong showed his talent as an elixir master, almost no one could afford to look down on Qin Tianzong with disabled legs, every time he ate, Qin Tianzong, who was physically inconvenient, always ate some leftovers left by everyone, and when he worked, the work assigned to Qin Tianzong was definitely the hardest and most tiring.
Qin Tianzong tried to sue Yuan Zhenrong, but the result of the complaint was that he was beaten and tortured more afterwards, and Yuan Zhenrong was obsessed with elixir research, and it was impossible to keep an eye on Qin Tianzong's life as a medicine boy.
Just when Qin Tianzong thought that he couldn't hold on, Gu Huizi silently appeared beside him.
Every night in the dead of night, Gu Huizi would find Qin Tianzong with a few steamed buns, and help Qin Tianzong work while watching Qin Tianzong gobble up steamed buns.
Although Gu Keiko can't speak, her smart eyes and dexterous hands can make the most beautiful sound in the world.
For a long time, it was Gu Huizi's gentleness and kindness that touched Qin Tianzong's lonely heart, giving Qin Tianzong the strength to persist in surviving in Yinyun Peak.
Qin Tianzong and Gu Huizi both have physical defects, and they are both people who live at the bottom and are humiliated and oppressed, so the two of them quickly found a common language, and after a long time of solitude, they had an inexplicable affection for each other.
Just when Qin Tianzong thought that he had found his own happiness, he was beaten and humiliated by the outer disciples for several days in a row, those people not only physically destroyed Qin Tianzong, but also mentally destroyed, and the only purpose of those outer disciples was to let Qin Tianzong leave Gu Huizi far away.
After a humiliation, Qin Tianzong held back.
After two humiliations and tortures, Qin Tianzong still survived.
When he was tortured by that group of outer disciples for half a year, Qin Tianzong finally collapsed.
When Qin Tianzong was forced to say in front of everyone that he didn't have any feelings for Gu Huizi, Gu Huizi was embarrassed, but those outer disciples laughed, only Qin Tianzong was bleeding and crying in his heart.
Just when Qin Tianzong thought that Gu Huizi would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being humiliated without her shield, Gu Huizi miraculously passed the certification assessment of the elixir master and became a formal elixir master, and was also promoted to the inner disciple of the elixir valley.
The difference in identity made those outer disciples dare not bother Gu Huizi anymore, but those outer disciples intensified their bullying of Qin Tianzong, as if they wanted to transfer all their energy to Qin Tianzong.
At this moment, Gu Huizi appeared again, she drove away those outer disciples like flies, and selflessly shared her own understanding of the pharmacology of the medicine surname with Qin Tianzong, so that Qin Tianzong also became an official elixir master in just one month.
When Qin Tianzong was about to apologize to Gu Huizi for what he had done before, a catastrophe befell Yinyun Peak, and the thousand-year-old demon beast imprisoned at the bottom of Yinyun Peak broke through layers of prohibitions, drilled out of the ground, and devoured the disciples of Yinyun Peak everywhere.
Seeing that Qin Tianzong, who had inconvenient legs and feet, was about to die in the mouth of the demon beast, Keiko stepped forward and protected Qin Tianzong with her body, but she herself was rotted by the saliva spewed out by the demon beast, and finally became neither human nor ghost.
After Gu Huizi became ugly, her surname also became extremely inferior, and Qin Tianzong felt that the distance between the two people had become closer at this time. In addition to guilt, instead of disliking Gu Huizi, he took good care of Gu Huizi, and after Qin Tianzong's enlightenment, Gu Huizi slowly opened his heart and became optimistic again.
In the next ten years, the relationship between Qin Tianzong and Gu Huizi was not hot, although Qin Tianzong clearly felt Gu Huizi's affection for him, he was obsessed with the study of elixir and was unwilling to face emotional problems at all.
At this time, Qin Tianzong was already famous, and the ugly Gu Huizi was extremely inferior, seeing that Qin Tianzong was indifferent to her confession and hints, she could only endure it silently, and had been taking care of Qin Tianzong meticulously.
It wasn't until the Divine Medicine Valley was besieged and Gu Huizi stepped forward to block the fatal blow for Qin Tianzong that Qin Tianzong cried loudly, his mind was full of the bits and pieces that Gu Huizi had taken care of himself for more than ten years, but unfortunately Gu Huizi had already died at this time.
"Senior Sister Gu, I lost so much to you in my previous life, do you feel heartache?" Looking back on all the unbearable past events in his previous life, Qin Tianzong's eyes moistened unconsciously, and he asked softly in his heart.
