"It must be here! You guys hurry up and go find it!!" The girl gritted her teeth and said, unwilling to give up.
She knew the lab was there, but she couldn't find it no matter what she tried, which frustrated her greatly...
"Miss, why don't you just demolish the house? That way it will be easier for us to find it." At that time, when they were searching, they didn't destroy anything; they just searched slowly and carefully.
"Tear down the house? If you can tear it down, I'll let you sit in this seat!" the girl sneered. In fact, they had tried to tear down the house before, but because of Ye Lang's Alchemy Array, they had failed.
Furthermore, the alchemy girl and the others must study this Alchemy Array and preserve it intact!
After entering the laboratory, Ye Lang observed the situation for a while before heading straight to the bookshelf to find what he wanted, ignoring the other alchemical equipment and materials.
After all, the materials and equipment here were very ordinary to him, so he naturally ignored them.
Books are different. After all, this is the territory of the Cold-Blooded Group. With the Cold-Blooded Group's capabilities, the books here must contain many secrets that have not been passed down to others. There must be many books that Ye Lang is interested in, and there may even be the secret alchemy techniques that led him to come here.
However, this situation made the group member think that Ye Lang was indeed bragging and probably didn't even know what alchemy was. Otherwise, why would he not be interested in these things that alchemists dream of, but instead go there to read books and pretend that he understood them?
Yes, it must be an act!
But this is good. The Lord Thirteenth originally wanted him to keep an eye on this kid and not let him touch anything bad. Since he's reading a book, that's even better.
It's hard to accidentally damage a book like this. There's no fire or water here, so it's impossible for it to get burned or wet.
Okay, that's settled then. Let him read on the side while I watch from here, and I can even take a break!
If he wanted to slack off, so be it Ye Lang wouldn't care about this team member over there. He was already filtering the books, filtering out the information he already knew.
Of course, if he has nothing to do, he will also take a look, since sometimes even the same edition of a book can have different content, and this often brings him great benefits.
Therefore, when it comes to books, don't stop reading them just because you've already read them. Reading them again may bring different insights!
However, at this time, Ye Lang naturally chose those alchemy books that he had never read before, those that were out of print and not available elsewhere...
He was just faking it. Even the Lord Thirteenth himself is still studying these books. How could a mere kid like him possibly understand them? Unless he has surpassed the Lord Thirteenth, which is impossible.
The group members were even more disdainful, already classifying Ye Lang as a "genius alchemist" who boasted without thinking!
Ye Lang was reading books, which brought him many benefits. Some things he hadn't been able to understand before suddenly became clear while he was reading. Indeed, the experience of those who came before him was very important.
Looks like I made the right choice coming here; I had a good haul!
However, he couldn't find the alchemy he suspected in these books, so these gains were all unexpected, a happy accident.
This alone was enough to satisfy Ye Lang, so he temporarily put aside his search for that alchemy technique and instead looked at some other secret alchemy techniques.
Time passed slowly, and the group members had already started to doze off, while Ye Lang continued to read through the books one by one, memorizing them temporarily and studying them in detail later.
This wasn't his sense of crisis, believing he might not have a chance to see it, that the Cold-Blooded Group might discover his purpose, and that he would be swept out—no, he should be said to be killed!
This is just one of his habits. He likes to read a book once first, memorize it, and then study it carefully. This seems to be a habit of many people as well. The first reading is a rough reading, and then a detailed reading.
The only difference is that Ye Lang only needs to read it once to memorize the contents word for word!
His reading speed also made his group members look down on him, which made him even more convinced of his own judgment.
Time passed by unnoticed. Cold-Blooded Thirteenth finished his work and returned to his laboratory. Seeing Ye Lang flipping through a book, he asked a question to his drowsy team member.
The team members quickly recounted Ye Lang's every move here, adding their own judgments.
"Oh, that's for the best. Anyway, he only needs to be studied by me, not the other way around." Cold-Blooded Thirteenth didn't seem to care. Perhaps he had always thought Ye Lang was just bragging and never believed him.
Or rather, it doesn't matter what kind of person Ye Lang is, or whether he knows alchemy or not, as long as he has a body that is Immune to All Poisons, and as long as Cold-Blooded Thirteenth can achieve results in his research, that's enough.
"Oh... I understand." After thinking for a while, the team member understood what Cold-Blooded Thirteenth meant and then took his leave.
"Frank, is this place alright?"
Cold-Blooded Thirteenth tidied up the books, then picked up one of them to read later. This one seemed to be about alchemy related to "medicine".
"Not bad. Where did you get these books? Can you sell them to me?" Ye Lang nodded and then asked habitually. He always bought these things without ever considering the price.
"Sell it to you? Can you afford it?" Cold-Blooded Thirteenth looked at Ye Lang for a while, then said coldly.
"As long as you're willing to sell, there's nothing I can't afford!" Ye Lang said nonchalantly. In this world, as long as someone dares to sell, he dares to buy, no matter the price.
No one would doubt this. Anyone who knows Ye Lang would understand that the higher the price, the happier he is and the more he wants to buy it. Conversely, if the price is low, he will be unhappy.
However, Cold-Blooded Thirteenth did not know that Ye Lang was the spendthrift Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Clan. He thought Ye Lang was just an insignificant little mercenary, little mercenary Frank!
"Alright, I got it. I know you have money, but these aren't for sale. If you want, you can take any of the books here and look at them! Also, if you want to sleep tonight, go sleep outside. Find your own room." Cold-Blooded Thirteenth said helplessly, with a look that said, "I don't believe you."
"Oh, I see!" Ye Lang continued flipping through the book. He hadn't finished reading the books here yet. Even scanning them would take time, let alone skimming them.
