Chapter 35: The Last Chance

After writing these 3,000 words, Hongchen was already exhausted, and his finger joints were sore and swollen. I wrote a total of almost 1W8,000 words today. I just lost the manuscript, and then rushed back more than 7,000 words. The state is back, and it will start to erupt tomorrow.

——————————————————————————

Moreover, at the beginning, according to Lin Tao's idea, he wanted to systematically learn alchemy. Because the refining methods of different pills are inevitably different, the mastery of the heat, the proportion of medicinal materials, and when the pill is produced are all important factors that affect the pill into a pill. But after thinking about it, forget it. At this moment, he has no time to say anything to study systematically, Huanghua's wife is in danger, and she may be poisoned at any time, if she waits for Lin Tao to finish all her studies, I don't know what year it will be.

Therefore, Lin Tao was still ready to understand the current affairs, take out the distribution of the evil elixir, and only learn the refining method of this evil elixir.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, it's not impossible to teach you the refining method of this evil elixir. But let's make it clear beforehand, I'm not helping them, I'm just helping you. ”

Lin Tao smiled, as long as he helped, he didn't care who he helped. smiled and said, "Then teacher, let's start, time is urgent!"

Gu Yuan looked at Lin Tao with an idiot look, until he was embarrassed to see it, and then said, "Don't you even want medicinal materials for alchemy?"

Lin Tao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Teacher, don't you have these medicinal materials here?"

"Yes!" Gu Yuan nodded lightly.

"Can't that be?" Lin Tao was also relieved.

"But who said that I would lend you these pills to refine. You have a few herbs on it, which are still relatively rare and valuable. And these medicinal materials of mine have been collected by me for many years, do you think I will be so idiotic as to give you these treasures that I have worked so hard to collect?" Gu Yuan rolled his eyes with the same expression as a child.

Lin Tao: "......"

In this way, Lin Tao had no choice but to go to the outside pharmacy to buy medicinal materials by himself. He knew that the old man was afraid that he would not change what he had decided. Instead of grinding with him here, it is better to act first.

At that moment, Lin Tao nodded and left the place.

Seeing that the direction of Lin Tao's departure had gradually submerged his figure, Gu Yuan sighed lightly at this time. Although he had been arguing with Lin Tao for a while just now, Gu Yuan was also moved by Lin Tao's spirit of valuing love and righteousness and the sentence "Man will conquer the sky".

Looking back and thinking about the formula of the evil pill, Gu Yuan's interest became even stronger, and he studied alchemy for I don't know how many years, and to be honest, it was the first time he had seen this kind of elixir. I am very curious about whether the elixir can really cure all diseases and expel all poisons as it describes. If that was the case, Gu Yuan had a hunch that this evil pill would definitely sweep the entire continent.

Thinking of this, the wrinkles on Gu Yuan's forehead stretched out and he smiled. But then his face changed, and he looked in the direction of the cabin behind him with a worried expression. Immediately, the figure flashed, and the next moment, in the same place, Gu Yuan had disappeared.

When he saw that his lover on the bed was still asleep, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, sat down gently on the chair next to the bed, and looked at the sleeping lover on the bed with an affectionate face, enjoying this silent happiness very much.

However, when Gu Yuan gently touched the white hair, he couldn't help but rub it twice in distress and sighed.

When Lin Tao walked out of this pharmacy, the whole person was speechless, and he sighed helplessly, "Is it really heavenly?"

Just like Gu Yuan said before, there are several medicinal materials on this recipe for warding off evil spirits, which are very rare. Sure enough, Lin Tao's other medicines had been successfully bought, but these few flavors were mainly sold in pharmacies large and small throughout Kailsa City.

According to the bosses, one or two of these herbs are very scarce in the first place, and it is very difficult to get them. Moreover, even if they got it, it was extremely expensive, and they had to hold a large amount of money, and they were afraid that no one would come to buy it, after all, such precious medicinal materials were rarely used. Rich people have their own ways to get these medicinal materials.

In desperation, Lin Tao had no choice but to go to Huang Hua to see if he could get these medicinal materials through his own means, after all, Huang Hua was a city guard officer in Kailsa City, and he must know many prominent figures. It's better to try than not to try.

When Huang Hua heard the news brought by Lin Tao, he was very excited, and the arm on Lin Tao's shoulder was reluctant to take it off for a long time, his mood can be imagined.

Hearing that Lin Tao actually said that he had moved an elixir grandmaster in the academy to refine a miraculous elixir to save his wife, the gratitude in Huang Hua's heart was indescribable. He decided that the paleness of his words was no longer enough to express his inner feelings. Besides, even if Lin Tao didn't say it, Huang Hua could imagine the spirit that Lin Tao had spent in doing this. Master of the elixir, what an incomparably noble existence this is, if you put it on the mainland, it is definitely the object of competition among the major forces. Therefore, this type of person is also the most arrogant, but this time he promised to help Lin Tao, Huang Hua didn't believe that this was the overflow of sympathy for the other master.

When he heard that there were still a few medicinal herbs that had not been bought for refining the evil pill, Huang Hua couldn't help but get anxious. Lin Tao didn't say it, and at the moment Huanghua said that he was trying his best to find it. Obviously, no one is embarrassed to say that they are asking others for help, and others are busy, but they are watching from the sidelines.

For a whole afternoon, Lin Tao waited for Huanghua in the tavern where the two had drunk together twice before.

It wasn't until the evening that Huang Hua appeared in front of Lin Tao with a look of chagrin and loss.

Lin Tao didn't say anything about this, and it was obvious that Huanghua hadn't found these pills. Lin Tao didn't blame Huanghua, and he didn't have the right to blame him.

Lin Tao could even imagine that in the course of a whole afternoon, Huang Hua's mood changed countless times from full of hope to disappointed departure. Treating this man who has been hit countless times, Lin Tao feels that any harsh criticism should not be given.

He sighed slowly, thinking in his heart, "Could it be that everything is really providential, and my sister-in-law's illness cannot be cured?"

At dinner, Huang Hua drank with his head down. Although this wine is far inferior to Lin Tao's own wine, Huanghua is still drinking cup after cup without the slightest intention of stopping.

Lin Tao on the side couldn't help but worry for a while, and when Huanghua's report was about to drink it all again, Lin Tao grabbed Huanghua's right hand holding the cup and stopped: "Brother Huang, don't drink it, if you drink it again, you will get drunk to death." ”

Huang Hua raised his drunken face, looked at Lin Tao with blank eyes, and then slapped Lin Tao's hand away and shouted: "Regardless of me, let me drink to death, it's best to drink to death." I'm useless, I'm so fucking useless, my wife is lying unconscious in bed, but I can't do anything, I can only look at her every day, I can't do anything, I ......" In the end, Huang Hua actually cried, and turned from a small whimper to a howl.

Lin Tao felt sour in his heart when he heard this, and silently patted Huang Hua's shoulder, speechless for a long time.

The most terrible thing for people is not to encounter difficulties, but to lose their relaxation in the midst of difficulties, lose their fighting spirit, and lose the courage to go on.

"In any case, you can't drink like this, you must know that if your sister-in-law is sober, she will not want to see you like this. It's not the worst, and there's something we can do. Lin Tao comforted.

Huang Hua picked up the cup and smiled bitterly twice, then raised his head and threw the cup on the table with a "bang", Huang Hua wiped the tears on his face with his cuffs, and said: "Yufen is awake, can she still wake up? Even the last hope is shattered." Huh!"

Lin Tao looked at Huang Hua's appearance and shook his head, in other words, no one can blame Huang Hua for being depressed, because if you are in his position, I am afraid that you will only be more depressed than Huang Hua.

"No, there's still a chance!" Lin Tao slowly exhaled and said, "At least I knew that the alchemy master in the academy had these medicinal herbs. ”

As soon as he heard this, Huang Hua, who was lying on the table, suddenly raised his head, stared at Lin Tao with slightly red and swollen eyes, and asked in surprise, "Really?"

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Of course it's true, this is what he said." But this master has a very strange temper, and he also said that he was not willing to borrow it. I'm afraid there will be some difficulties in between. ”

Huang Hua didn't hear Lin Tao's words at all, "I'm afraid there will be some difficulties in the middle", and said with a sad and happy expression: "No matter, I have to give it a try anyway." No matter what the master wants, I will promise him! Even if it is my life, I will give it! As long as I can cure Yufen!"

Lin Tao sighed, full of admiration for the man in front of him.

As the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, just because they haven't reached the sad place.

Injuries, suffering, grievances, and poverty can't hit men, let alone make them cry. But true love and affection will, for the sake of the beloved woman, what is crying?

It was late at night, and the entire tavern was empty, leaving only Lin Tao and Huang Hua. It was time to close, Lin Tao looked at the embarrassed eyes of the shopkeeper, smiled, carried Huang Hua, who was already drunk so drunk, to his shoulders, and slowly walked out of the tavern.
