Jiang Donghua wandered all the way back to the Alchemy Department, with that faint silly smile still on his face, his fingertips unconsciously touching his lips, as if he was still savoring the soft touch of that moment.
Alchemy Department In the hall, many students were busy sorting out medicinal materials and reading prescriptions. When they saw him coming in, they all stopped what they were doing and shouted respectfully.
"Senior Brother Jiang!"
"Senior Brother Jiang Good!"
Jiang Donghua then came back to his senses, coughed slightly, and nodded calmly, but he still couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
He waved his hands casually, indicating that everyone should continue working on their own business, and then walked towards the second floor.
The second floor is the exclusive area for the elders of the Alchemy Department. Ordinary students are not allowed to enter at will on weekdays.
Jiang Donghua, as the direct disciple of Mo Xuan, is naturally not restricted.
He stepped up the stairs in a familiar way, thinking about what he would report to his master later.
As soon as he walked to the corridor on the second floor, he heard Mo Xuan's iconic, somewhat teasing laughter coming from the room.
"Hey, isn't this my proud disciple? Why, he came up so quickly? I thought you wanted to communicate with that girl Hong Ling for a while!"
Jiang Donghua paused in his steps, twitched the corner of his mouth, and cursed in his mind that this old guy was indeed peeking again.
He pushed the door open and saw Mo Xuan sitting on the Taishi chair with his legs crossed, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of narrowness.
"Master, can you please stop being such a gossip?"
Jiang Donghua rolled his eyes, walked to sit across from him, grabbed a spiritual fruit from the table and took a bite.
Mo Xuan stroked his beard and smiled more meaningfully.
"Why, what's wrong with being a teacher and caring about your disciple's life-long affairs? Besides, the scene in the square just now, tsk tsk tsk!"
Jiang Donghua almost choked on the fruit and his eyes widened.
"You, you saw it all?!"
Mo Xuan Hehe, he smiled and took a slow sip of tea.
"Not only did I see it, I saw it very clearly. Oh, young people are so good and passionate. They are not like us old men who can only drink tea to stay healthy."
Jiang Donghua blushed, grabbed the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, trying to hide his embarrassment.
"Master, please stop making fun of me. I came here to discuss something serious with you."
Mo Xuan raised his eyebrows and deliberately prolonged his tone.
"Oh--? Business? More important than life-long events?"
Jiang Donghua Seeing that the master finally became serious, he stopped talking and just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.
He slowly took out four sheepskin scrolls with a faint aura from Storage Ring.
Throwing it on the table, the scroll gently spread out on the table, revealing the dense ancient text and the complicated Pill Pattern pattern on it.
Mo Xuan was originally holding the tea cup, looking like an old god was present.
But when he glanced at the scrolls, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the tea cup in his hand fell on the table with a "pop" sound. A few drops of tea spilled, but he didn't notice it at all.
"This, this is?!"
He stood up suddenly and grabbed one of the scrolls, his fingers trembling slightly and his eyes full of disbelief.
The text on the scroll is simple and mysterious, and every stroke contains a unique charm of alchemy. More importantly, there is a light blue Soul Imprint imprinted on the lower right corner of the scroll.
That is clearly the unique mark of the Medicine Family Great Elder Yao Jidao!
Mo Xuan's face instantly became solemn, he raised his head and stared at Jiang Donghua, his voice was low.
"You brat, where did you get it from? This is the genuine Fifth-grade Pill Recipe, and it is also the core inheritance of the Medicine Family!"
Jiang Donghua shrugged, looking innocent.
"Didn't I tell you, I got it from Yao Jidao."
"Get it?"
Mo Xuan Eye twitching.
"You think you are a three-year-old child as a teacher? Yao Jidao That old fox would give you a pill recipe of this level casually?"
Jiang Donghua chuckled, leaned a little closer, and lowered his voice.
"Master, you also know that Medicine Family needs my help, so they gave me a blank check first. I just don't want to help them. These few prescriptions are considered as payment."
Mo Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the harmless smiling face of his apprentice.
However, he didn't ask any more questions and just snorted coldly.
"You brat, you are so courageous that you even dare to take advantage of the Medicine Family!"
Jiang Donghua rubbed his fingers and smiled even brighter.
"Master, look at the Soul Imprint on this pill recipe. Can you help me deal with it? Otherwise it will be inconvenient for me to use it."
Mo Xuan glanced at him and felt annoyed.
"I knew you didn't have good intentions! Tell me, do you want me to wipe your ass again?"
Jiang Donghua waved his hand quickly.
"How can you not! Isn't this because you want to keep the wealth from going to outsiders? Master, you choose these pill prescriptions first, and I will study the rest."
Mo Xuan heard this, his expression softened a little, and he snorted.
"You still have some conscience!"
He picked up the scroll and looked at it carefully. He lightly touched Soul Imprint with his finger, and a powerful Soul Force quietly penetrated into it and began to slowly wear away the mark.
Jiang Donghua was secretly happy when he saw this, and hurried over to flatter him.
"Master is indeed amazing! This Soul Imprint is as good as paper in your hands!"
Mo Xuan said calmly without raising his head.
"Don't do this! Next time you dare to cheat and kidnap me, I will throw you into the alchemy furnace for refining!"
Jiang Donghua shrank his neck and laughed dryly, but his heart was filled with joy. With these Fifth-grade Pill Recipe, his alchemy skills can be improved to a higher level!
In the dark cave, thick poisonous mist filled the air, and the surrounding stone walls were covered with dark purple poison ivy. Occasionally dripping venom corroded the ground into dark pits, making a hissing sound.
In the center of the cave, on an altar made of dark green jade, the great elder Medicine Family Yao Jidao was sitting cross-legged, his whole body shrouded in a lavender poisonous mist barrier.
The breath was extremely disordered. The originally vigorous Dou Qi was now like a candle in the wind, getting stronger and weaker. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
"Crack!"
A subtle cracking sound was particularly harsh in the silent cave.
Yao Jidao opened his eyes suddenly, a frightening cold light burst out from his cloudy old eyes, the muscles on his face were twisted with anger, and the already ferocious injuries were even more terrifying now.
His left shoulder was completely ulcerated, with white bones on the outside, and the flesh and blood seemed to have been corroded by some kind of poisonous substance.
And a large piece of his chin was missing, exposing half of his gums and the broken base of his tongue. It was hideous and terrifying!
"Jiang! Dong! Hua!!"
His hoarse voice was like a ghost roaring, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with overwhelming hatred.
Just now, he clearly felt that the Soul Imprint he left on the four Fifth-grade Pill Recipes had been forcibly erased!
"How dare you, little beast, plot against me!"
He suddenly raised his hand and slapped the altar with his palm, and the violent poison Dou Qi exploded instantly. The whole altar exploded with a bang, gravel splashed, and poisonous mist billowed!
However, when he became angry, the injuries inside his body worsened again, a mouthful of black blood spurted out, and he staggered and almost fell down.
"Great Elder!"
Outside the cave, several Medicine Family guards heard the noise and rushed in in a hurry. However, when they saw Yao Jidao's ferocious face and horrific injuries, they all turned pale with fear and did not dare to approach.
Yao Jidao was breathing heavily, with murderous intent in his eyes.
How could he not hate it?
Originally, a fierce conflict broke out between the Medicine Family and Bai Clan solely because of the leakage of information.
He personally took action, teaming up with the Medicine Family Second Elder and Third Elder to surround and kill Bai Clan, the great elder Bai Yan.
In that battle, Bai Yan was indeed killed by them, but the price was that Second Elder died in battle! Third Elder was seriously injured and was on the verge of death!
As for himself, Bai Yan counterattacked before his death and burned half of his body with Snake Spirit Secret Method!
All of this is because of that little beast Jiang Donghua!
If he hadn't secretly instigated Medicine Family and Bai Clan to mistakenly think that the other party had made a move first, how could the two families have suffered losses?
"Okay, very good!"
Yao Jidao gritted his teeth, the remaining half of his face was twisted with anger, and a low roar came from his throat.
"Jiang Donghua, do I remember you?"
He raised his head suddenly, a sinister cold light flashing in his eyes.
