Chapter 584: The Knight and the Sword
In this world, arrogance requires strength, and arrogance without strong strength as support is ignorance, and arrogance of powerful people is called self-confidence.
Is it ignorance, or self-confidence, Yang Yan thinks that Tian Lao should belong to the latter, just because he can save himself and suppress the magic sword, he has enough arrogant strength to say such a statement.
Yang Yan was silent for a long time, and suddenly seemed to think of something, staring at the woman with burning eyes, she could still look at him calmly at first, and then began to become uncomfortable, her eyes flickered and shifted, still feeling the burning gaze, and the tips of her ears were slightly red.
"You...... Why are you looking at me like that?" the woman was anxious by his staring, and her heart was slightly annoyed, she turned her head suddenly, glared at him angrily, and said coquettishly.
"The Heavenly Elders will use the alchemy technique?" Yang Yan finally opened his mouth, although his eyes were still staring at her, it made her feel relaxed all of a sudden, it turned out that he wanted to ask this.
"Of course! Otherwise, how could Grandpa say that 'the pharmacists who come out of the Alchemist Association will be able to do so, but the alchemists of the Pharmacist Association will not be necessarily'? Grandpa said, the pill is one, a qualified pharmacist not only has outstanding achievements in the medicine path, but the Dan Dao also needs to be proficient, but the alchemist is not. The woman nodded affirmatively.
After speaking, she looked at Yang Yan strangely again and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
The woman's words had a big impact on Yang Yan, from the classics he read, it was said that the medicine path was only a branch of the Dan Dao, and the alchemist often disdained to use medicine, and now from her mouth, the words of the old man seemed to be reversed, the medicine path was not a branch of the Dan Dao, the two went hand in hand, but the pharmacist needed to cultivate both ways, and the alchemist only needed to be proficient in the Dan Dao, so he made a judgment.
It's just that Yang Yan doesn't agree with this kind of remark very much, it is true that Tian Lao can do both ways of cultivating, but how many pharmacists like him are there in the world? How do you know that there are no alchemists who can cultivate both paths? The avenue is difficult, one is difficult to do, isn't it even more difficult to do two?
Besides, since he cultivates both ways, how can he tell whether he is a pharmacist or an alchemist, everyone has a position, and alchemists often look down on pharmacists, is it really that unbearable for pharmacists? Tianlao also sneered at alchemists, and it may not be that he did not enter with his own personal position.
Yang Yan didn't cultivate the way of elixir, and he didn't have much interest in the grievances and entanglements between the two, all he cared about was whether Tian Lao was really perfect in alchemy.
"I have an elder who is highly poisonous and needs to be rescued by the Yin and Yang Creation Pill. Yang Yan said lightly, seeing that the woman's mouth was slightly open, as if she was surprised, she was relieved, but she was not disappointed.
He didn't have much hope, but he tried to ask when he heard that Tian Lao also knew alchemy, so he naturally couldn't be disappointed, after all, it was a six-grade spirit pill, Yin and Yang Creation Pill, at least a six-grade alchemist could be refined, and Mo said that a six-grade alchemist, even a five-grade alchemist might not be able to find one in the Qianyu several times, no matter how clever Tianlao's medicine technique is, even if his alchemy technique is as clever, it is impossible to refine the Yin and Yang Creation Pill.
Moreover, how rare the six-grade elixir is, the medicinal materials used must also be extremely rare elixir, which can be described as a priceless treasure.
It's just that it's been more than a year, and Ye Qing's guy doesn't know if it's reliable, even if he researches an antidote, can those cherished elixirs be collected, and how long can the imperial grandfather last?
At this time, the woman had already reacted, and she said with a little astringency: "I haven't heard such a strange name as the Yin Yang Creation Pill, but it should be very precious, I can help you ask Grandpa." ”
Although Yang Yan didn't hold out hope, the magic in his eyes was much lighter, and he looked at her quietly for a long time, until she became uncomfortable again, then she looked away and said, "Thank you." ”
"Flutter!" the woman suddenly couldn't help laughing, the world seemed to be much brighter all of a sudden, and the fish and shrimp that were scared away by the Yang Yan Demon Pupil had already surrounded her at some point, playing happily.
Yang Yan looked at her who was trembling with laughter, and said inexplicably: "What are you laughing at?"
The woman finally stopped laughing, looked at him, tilted her head and said in surprise: "It turns out that you can also say thank you, I thought you had always been so unkind!"
"Boring. Yang Yan was stared at unnaturally by her, turned his head, and looked at the fish and shrimp in the river again, but this time I don't know if they are used to it, or his magic pupils are not so terrifying, these fish and shrimp are not scared away, and they are still playing with themselves as if nothing happened.
"Eh, what's that thing next to you?" asked the woman, suddenly noticing a small piece of something shining in the sunlight next to him.
Yang Yan followed her gaze and realized that she was talking about the scabbard she had placed at her side, which was the scabbard of the Fire Flame Sword.
More than half a year ago, he and Ling Xiao, the core disciple of Tianyun Sect, started a life-and-death fight, the fire sword fell from a high altitude, and then he was first taken away by Yuan Huan, and then fled by life and death, until he was in a life-and-death dilemma with the demon sword and jade, and was rescued by Tianlao to come here, and now there is only this empty scabbard that follows him.
Yang Yan reached out and picked up the scabbard, his fingers lightly crossed the surface of the cold scabbard, his heart was full of emotions, the fire sword had followed him for several years, in order to be more compatible with the sword, although there was a Sumeru ring to accommodate, he always carried the fire sword behind him, day and night, inseparable, he had swayed the fire sword thousands of times, all the sweat, all the tribulations It knows, every battle, every life and death desperate situation, it is it that accompanies itself to fight to the end, never give up, and kill a bloody road for itself.
For him, the Flame Sword is not only a sword, but also his most trusted partner!
Yes, you heard it right, it's a partner, Yang Yan has never said these two words to anyone. He is an indifferent person, he never believes that there will be a partner who will never betray, the so-called loyalty is only because the chips are not enough, and he has never regarded anyone as his partner, such as Qin Yu, Ye Qing, and Mo Ying, the three people who have followed him for the longest time and have fought side by side in the land of trials, and even Qianxun and the rest of the eight sons and two immortals, in his eyes, are just subordinates, and there is no word of trust at all.
But the Fire Flame Sword is a partner recognized by Yang Yan in the depths of his heart, even if everyone betrays him, it will not betray his partner, and now, his only partner, is lost and missing.
No matter how indifferent he was, he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he stroked the empty scabbard.
"It's the scabbard. Yang Yan said.
"Oh! So this is the scabbard!" The woman suddenly realized, looking at the fire sword scabbard in his hand with a look of surprise, Yang Yan glanced at her lightly, and also couldn't understand, is there anyone who doesn't even know the scabbard?
"What kind of eyes are you?" The woman was delicate, and immediately felt a faint trace of disgust in his eyes, and immediately pursed her lips slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's so strange! I haven't been to the outside world, everything was told to me by my grandfather, and I haven't seen many things, so it's normal to be surprised, right?"
"Oh. Yang Yan responded without saltiness, such a perfunctory attitude directly made her cheeks puff up slightly, just like a fish spitting bubbles in the river, with a thin angry look, which looked quite cute.
However, she didn't bother with it, and quickly restrained her expression, and asked instead, "What about the sword inside?"
The moment the words were asked, she clearly felt Yang Yan's body stiffen for a moment, and then said without any sense of **: "Lost." ”
"Oh, what a pity. The woman whispered, and suddenly a bright smile appeared on her face, and said: "I often hear grandpa tell the story of chivalry, many of them are swordsmen, very chic, I asked grandpa, why do the chivalrous men in the story like to use swords?"
"Do you know what Grandpa told me?" the woman deliberately sold off, winking playfully and asking Yang Yan.
Yang Yan faintly guessed her intentions, his face softened slightly, and he was not disappointed, and asked according to her words, "Why?"
"Grandpa said, the general martial arts pursue the domineering, the weak eat the strong, even if the weak become the strong has long forgotten the original intention, still practice the domineering of the strong, and the chivalrous line is chivalrous, they are in pursuit of the ultimate in martial arts, have not forgotten their hearts, in order to uphold justice, dare to face injustice, the road is uneven, dare to fight the sword to kill people regardless of their origin, they have a strong arrogance, never bow to evil, they are real gentlemen, and the sword is a gentleman in the soldiers, and the chivalrous is the most suitable. The woman said with a light smile, Yang Yan looked at her clear eyes, and suddenly felt a little ashamed of herself.
He is also a sword cultivator, or can also be called a swordsman, but he is not a chivalrous, he is not chivalrous, nor domineering, but the royal way, there is no absolute distinction between good and evil in his eyes, the position on his side is justice, standing on the opposite side is evil, his hands are stained with countless blood, all of them can be killed, but not to uphold justice, let alone see injustice, just because in his criterion judgment, those people should be killed, that's all.
"Is there really a knight in the world?" Yang Yan asked, among mortals, chivalry abounds, chivalry is the pursuit of most martial arts practitioners, chivalry and martial arts are forbidden from this, but the martial arts world is not as good as the secular world, martial arts cultivation is a struggle with the sky, chivalry is not suitable for survival, the strong are respected, The law of the jungle is the basic criterion, as the woman said, the weak are used to being bullied by the strong, once they become strong, very few people can uphold their original intentions, most of them will go more ruthlessly to bully the weak, and the cycle repeats, creating endless battles, the higher the cultivation, people will only become more and more indifferent, how many people can keep their original intentions and do chivalrous acts?
The woman pondered for a while and said with a smile: "I don't know, but grandpa said that there is, then there will definitely be, maybe now, there is one by my side?"
