Chapter 22: The Alchemist of the Medicine Hall
Time went back to before Yi Chen entered the alchemy room, in another courtyard in the medicine hall, a guard dressed in Qingyanlou costume ran from a distance in a hurry, attracting the attention of many people along the way.
"This place is the residence of Deacon Yan, who dares to be so reckless, let me stop."
As soon as the guards appeared at the gate of the courtyard, one of the guards at the gate shouted loudly.
"Hey, it turned out to be you, why did you appear here? Do you know the rules in Qingyan Tower?"
However, after seeing the faces of the visitors clearly, the vigilance on his face also turned into suspicion.
"Two... Big brother, little brother has something urgent.... I want to ask for strictness.... Deacon Yan Qing, please also ask two substitutes.... Announce it for my little brother".
The person who came seemed to be running all the way, still panting in his mouth, and it was very difficult to say his intention.
"Look at you like this, what can be done in a hurry like this, could it be that something big happened to Deacon Xiao's side?" Quick, you go and report to Deacon Yan Qing immediately", the guard who opened his mouth frowned and whispered, and did not forget to call another person next to him.
"What are you doing here, don't you know the rules of the building?"
However, no sooner had the guard's words fallen than a loud shout suddenly sounded on the bluestone road on the left.
Then I saw a middle-aged man with black hair in a cyan robe and a kind look walking towards the three of them.
The black-haired middle-aged man had several wrinkles on his face, and he looked over half a hundred years old, but the vitality exuded from his body was more like that of a man in his early thirties.
On the chest of his robe is embroidered an unknown medicinal herb with only one leaf, and in the middle is a large golden "one", which makes people's eyes can't help but gaze.
"Subordinates see Deacon Wei".
When the three of them saw the appearance of the black-haired middle-aged man, they thought of the hard drink just now, their legs and stomachs trembled, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground.
They were very aware of the status of the person who came in the Medicine Hall, nearly half of the pills in the Medicine Hall were from this person's hands, and he was Wei Tianyang, one of the only two alchemists in the Medicine Hall.
"This is the Medicine Hall, you don't have to be so polite, but tell me what happened to Deacon Xiao", Wei Tianyang said with an interesting face.
The three people who were half-kneeling on the ground heard Wei Tianyang's words of concern, and they suddenly felt a burst of incredulity in their hearts, and then an inexplicable cold air invaded their backs.
"Deacon Qiwei, we don't know anything specific, so we .....," the guard who was asked hurriedly pushed the matter onto the guard on the side.
"Deacon Wei, here's the thing, just now there was a young man about eighteen years old from Deacon Xiao's side, and the age difference between the person who Deacon Yan asked his subordinates to pay attention to is not much different, and his subordinates will be so reckless when they are in a hurry, and I ask Deacon Wei to forgive his subordinates for their mistakes."
In Wei Tianyang's eyes, the sweaty guard was in a state of apprehension, and he said what he wanted to tell in one breath.
"It's actually that kid who came!!"
Wei Tianyang was just holding the mentality of watching Xiao Qian's jokes at first, but after hearing the guard's complete confession, a wave of anger inexplicably surged in his heart, and a few wisps of coldness flashed in Weimi's eyes.
"You come in with me, as for the two of you, you are not allowed to say half a cent about today's affairs, otherwise you know what will happen."
"Yes, my subordinates know"
Looking at Wei Tianyang who walked into the courtyard, the apprehension in the hearts of the two guards gradually returned to calm, and they saw a trace of fear in their eyes when they looked at each other.
......
The layout of the courtyard is different from the lotus pond where Xiao Qian is located, although there is also a stone pavilion and a stone table in the middle, and the stone table is also a complete set of simple and beautiful tea sets.
But below the pavilion is a stream, which flows through and is crystal clear, and occasionally you can see three or two groups of small fish swimming happily in the stream.
The stone pavilion is surrounded by some undulating rockeries, and a winding bluestone road is interspersed with the rockery along the flow of the stream, which looks very comfortable.
When the person with the message appeared in the stone pavilion, Wei Tianyang's eyes fell on the side of the stone pavilion, and a septuagenarian with pale hair and a white goatee was feeding the fish in the low stream.
The old man was wearing a cyan robe that was the same as Wei Tianyang, and there was also a golden conspicuous "one" on his chest, but there was a small bulge on the rhizome of an unknown medicinal herb that was the background color.
This person is another alchemist in Qingyanlou, and Yan Qing, who is the closest to a second-order alchemist in the current starfall land.
"Brother Wei, you're here, the weather is just right today, why don't you try it too?"
Noticing Wei Tianyang who appeared at the corner of the road, a few smiles appeared on Yan Qing's old face, and he said hello.
"Brother Yan, although I don't want to disturb your comfort, now shouldn't be the time to do such a thing."
"Oh, looking at Brother Wei's appearance, could it be that Deacon Xiao has provoked you again?", Yan Qing looked at Wei Tianyang, whose face was slightly gloomy, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"If it's really him, it's okay, after all, he is the deacon of the medicine hall, and I can't care about him," Wei Tianyang, who walked to the stone table, said with some ugliness.
Putting down the fish food in his hand, Yan Qing laughed: "I know that brother, you are not the kind of person who cares, since you are all part of Qingyanlou, there are some things that don't have to be taken to heart, if you really fall out, not only will it not be good for the reputation of the medicine hall, but it will also be difficult for the hall master to explain."
"Why are you here, could it be that something really happened to Deacon Xiao's side?" and poured Wei Tianyang a cup, Yan Qing looked at the guards who were waiting quietly outside the stone pavilion.
drank all the tea in front of him, and put Wei Tianyang back on the stone table like a fire, his face was not very good-looking: "It's okay, you can tell Brother Yan about it, and it will save me a lot of mouth."
"Yes, Deacon Yan, you have been asking the villain to pay attention to Deacon Xiao's side before, and let the villain pay attention to the teenage boy, this matter has always been kept in mind, and just now the villain saw him at Deacon Xiao's place, so he came here to report."
"Oh, you mean the boy came to the medicine hall? Are you sure you're right?"
Yan Qing, who was tasting the tea, became very excited, his face was full of inexplicable joy, and the tea in his hand was also poured out because of excitement.
"The villain can vouch for his life, although it seems to have changed a lot, but it is indeed the same teenager."
The smile on Yan Qing's old face was even stronger, and his eyes bloomed with unprecedented light, looking very excited and excited.
However, when he noticed Wei Tianyang, whose face was slightly gloomy on the side, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then said softly: "No wonder Brother Wei you are like this, it turns out that this is the case, but after all, that incident has passed, and I have already let go of my brother, so why should Brother Wei keep worrying about it."
"Brother Yan, after all, that incident made you and me lose face, you and I are both first-order alchemists, especially Brother Yan, you are not far from the second-order, how can he do that as a hairy boy, brother, I don't see it like this."
Yan Qing looked at Wei Tianyang, who fell into silence, and only sighed secretly in his heart, but then his heart moved, and he felt a little puzzled: "How could that young man be called by Deacon Xiao at this time, there is nothing in the medicine hall that needs him to do, right? Is it to prepare for that incident in the near future? No, although that young man's talent is amazing, his progress should not be so fast, right?"
"Have you asked what happened when the young man came to the medicine hall to see Deacon Xiao", the doubts in his heart made it difficult for Yan Qing to sort it out, so he could only ask.
"This.... The villain came directly to the two deacons when he recognized him, so he didn't know what he was coming from."
Yan Qing fell silent all of a sudden, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, and after pondering for a while, he hurriedly said, "You hurry back to Deacon Xiao's side, find out where the young man is now, and come back and tell me after finding out."
"Brother Yan, looking at you like this, did you find something?"
From Yan Qing's anxious words, Wei Tianyang heard a little eagerness and surprise, and even felt a slight shock.
Picking up the tea on the stone table and taking a sip gently, Yan Qing quickly calmed down his state of mind, and then laughed in Wei Tianyang's unexplained gaze: "Brother Wei, at this point in time, it is the time when we are urgently needed as alchemists, and we will all be busy in the future."
"Brother Yan, what do you say this has to do with that kid?", Wei Tianyang was still puzzled in his heart.
In this regard, Yan Qing shook his head, and said in response to the question: "I think Brother Wei has heard about some changes in Starfall City recently, and in terms of the current situation, there will be great changes in the near future, which can be seen from the recent situation in the medicine hall."
Taking a sip again, Yan Qing's vicissitudes of life reappeared, and he said with great certainty: "Especially the cold clear liquid that you and I are responsible for refining this year, although it seems to have increased a lot, in fact, it has a weight of thirty percent and is not here with us, don't you think that young man is too coincidental?"
"Poof...."
Wei Tianyang's heart was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of tea, but his face was full of disdainful smiles.
"Brother Yan, do you mean that Deacon Xiao wants that kid to be in charge of the remaining three percent? Although Han Qingye doesn't need the step of condensing pills, it is also a first-order level, how can it be done with that kid's alchemy ability, unless..... Unless .....".
Speaking of this, Wei Tianyang also had a guess in his mind that made him unbelievable, and he couldn't help but cast a look of surprise at Yan Qing, who seemed to be smiling on the side.
