Offering Charcoal in Snow
This time, Song Wenshu stayed with Wuqi Mountain for only half a day before saying goodbye.
As for Alchemist Lin Ye, I have special feelings for Wuqi Mountain and Small Pill Peak.
After negotiation, he was allowed to recuperate for a period of time in the guest room halfway up the mountain at Small Pill Peak, which would help his recovery.
Alchemist Lin Ye has retained most of his alchemy skills and is willing to assist in alchemy and provide compensation during the recovery period.
Previously, he had been questioned by the Blazing Fire Palace. He was a victim and his identity was innocent.
Lin Ye's cultivation level has fallen, and he does not have much life left.
Thinking of his tragic fate and old love, Peak Master of Wuqi Mountain opened this special case.
Song Wenshu brought Lin Ye here as a token of appreciation to make up for the troubles caused by "Night Fisherman".
Lan Chang'an speculates from this that Song Wenshu has no hostility towards Wuqi Mountain and is willing to be on good terms with Three Peak Masters.
Cultivation World's stance on grudges is not black and white or set in stone.
Song Wenshu has a good relationship with Senior Brother Zhuo, who was once an enemy of Wuqi Mountain.
However, the relationship between Song Wenshu and Wuqi Mountain is also acceptable, there is no conflict of interest, and they can expand their own network.
Even the elites of the sect will not blindly make enemies.
After sending Song Wenshu away, Three Peak Masters and Alchemist Lin Ye chatted for a while.
Lan Chang'an and Shi Manrong each return to the main peak.
"Xiang Jinglong became a wanted person and escaped from the Liang Kingdom. Blazing Fire Palace did not suspect Wuqi Mountain. The matter of "Night Fisherman" is finally over."
Lan Chang'an is determined.
Xiang Jinglong takes the blame again, and he has no psychological burden.
After all, this person bullies the weak, kills and seizes treasures, and has a bad record. He once came to Wuqi Mountain to show off his power and eat the king's meal.
Lan Chang'an and Xiang Jinglong have no direct conflict of grudges. The other party is Pseudo-Core True Person. He helped him twice and has no intention of killing.
With this matter concluded.
Lan Chang'an began to think about refining Youth Preservation Pill in the future.
Youth Preservation Pill He gathered all the materials.
The only flaw is that the most critical main ingredient comes from Alchemist Hua.
Alchemist Hua bought this main ingredient from Xiang Jinglong, but was later targeted as a fat sheep.
"After so many years, Youth Preservation Pill's main drug is not the only one. Xiang Jinglong has become a wanted person again, and escaping from the Liang Kingdom is not a big problem."
Lan Chang'an thought.
He took Youth Preservation Pill in order to conceal the nature and truth of his youthfulness.
In this way, if you meet a high-level monk in the future, it will not be easy to see the clues.
In addition to Youth Preservation Pill, Lan Chang'an also has most of the Crystal Condensation Pill materials, which can be regarded as the biggest result of Senior Brother Zhuo's many years of plundering.
In comparison, the risk of refining Crystal Condensation Pill is much higher, even if there are no grudges or loopholes.
A few days later.
Lin Ye came to Small Turtle Peak to visit Lan Chang'an.
"Are you used to returning to Wuqi Mountain, Alchemist Lin?"
Lan Chang'an treated Alchemist Lin Ye in an amiable manner, and did not show any signs of neglect because of Alchemist Lin Ye's identity.
"Back to Small Pill Peak, I had a good sleep for a few days."
Lin Ye's condition has improved significantly. His dry face can squeeze out a smile, and his expression is no longer as dull as before.
After chatting about some past events, Lin Ye basically remembered them and answered them without any problems.
In terms of memory, it is even more completely preserved than Fairy Shi.
This point is slightly different from when we met a few days ago.
Lan Chang'an couldn't help but think deeply.
"Actually, Lin's mental state has basically returned to normal. Especially after returning to Wuqi Mountain, his mood has become much calmer..."
Lin Ye smiled bitterly and began to reveal the truth.
It turns out that Lin Ye's sluggish state in the past few days was half true and half false.
His heart has sobered up.
"Fellow Daoist Lin just pretended to the end, why did he tell the truth to Mr. Lu?"
Lan Chang'an is not surprised by this.
Alchemist Lin Ye is once bitten by a snake, and will be afraid of snake bites for ten years.
A monk whose cultivation has declined, is old, and possesses profound alchemy skills is indeed worthy of being remembered.
"Daoist Lu, here Wuqi Mountain, I can only open my heart to you. I also believe that you will not murder Lin."
Lin Ye took a deep breath and said calmly.
"Lu is so virtuous and capable that he deserves to be trusted by fellow Daoist Lin."
Lan Chang'an smiled, it seemed that he had been practicing indifferently for hundreds of years, and his image as a "good old man" who did not fight or fight was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
During the long years of practice, although Lan Chang'an occasionally took action to kill potential threats, at least he never actively murdered anyone.
Lin Ye was indeed right about this.
The two have known each other for decades at Wuqi Mountain and know each other relatively well.
"You might as well tell Daoist Lu an inside story."
Lin Ye continued:
"After Lin was captured alive by Xiang Jinglong, he was severely tortured by that guy. When Alchemist Hua died, Xiang Jinglong became a suspect, claiming that he was framed, and there was an investigation into this. Alchemist Hua's enemies, including me, are all targets of suspicion."
"Regarding this matter, I did not implicate Daoist Lu. Instead, I deliberately hinted and guided him to suspect Fu Xuemei. I hope to use the hands of Yellow Dragon Mountain to eradicate this thief in the future."
Hearing this, Lan Chang'an suddenly realized.
No wonder Xiang Jinglong, after becoming False Core, joined the anti-Yellow Dragon Mountain force camp and harbored hatred towards Fu Xuemei.
Taking advantage of chaos to profit is one aspect, but revenge is also an important factor.
"Lin Daoyou Yunzhong White Crane, in a desperate situation, stick to the bottom line and not involve old friends, Lu admires him."
Lan Chang'an praised.
When one's wealth and life are controlled by others, people's minds are unpredictable. For ordinary people, it is difficult to guarantee not to drag other people into trouble.
Back then, after Alchemist Hua died, Lin Ye tested Lan Chang'an to see the latter's reaction.
It can be seen from this that Lin Ye has some doubts about Lan Chang'an in his heart, even if the content is not high.
In the end, Xiang Jinglong did not suspect Lan Chang'an at all, which shows that Alchemist Lin at least had no intention of harming Lan Chang'an.
"Fellow Daoist Lin revealed these secrets and the truth, but do you need help from Mr. Lu?"
Lan Chang'an suddenly changed his mind and asked directly.
Hearing this, Lin Ye showed a pleased expression.
If Lan Chang'an was cold and distant, he would not take the initiative to say such things.
"Lin has two wishes for the rest of his life. The first is that Xiang Jinglong bows down, and the second is to return to his hometown safely, cultivate Dao of Alchemy's successors, and spend the rest of his life."
"For the former, I believe there will be a day when I see it. Xiang Jinglong Those who do unrighteousness will surely die."
"In the case of the latter, my current cultivation level has declined, my belongings have been plundered by Xiang Jinglong, and I seriously lack the means to protect myself..."
Lin Ye's current situation is very embarrassing, he is poor and has nothing, and he doesn't even have an ordinary Law Artifact to protect his path.
Lan Chang'an understood the purpose of Lin Ye.
If you give a few ordinary Law Artifact and Talisman as gifts, Lan Chang'an won't mind, but Lin Ye may not feel safe.
Especially, the current world is more chaotic than before.
If you give away a complete set of top-quality Law Artifact and high-quality Talisman, Lan Chang'an will suffer too much loss and become a great philanthropist.
"How does Fellow Daoist Lin's current alchemy skills compare to those of the past?"
Lan Chang'an asked.
"I have been refining alchemy day and night over the years, and the conditions are difficult. My alchemy skills have been honed, and they are actually better than before. This is enough to make up for the gap in cultivation."
Lin Ye tells the truth.
"I am willing to make alchemy in exchange for reward and buy Law Artifact, Talisman and other items to protect the Tao from Daoist Lu."
"Is there any demand for Breakthrough Pill and Daoist Lu from Foundation Establishment Late Stage? Lin is confident about refining this elixir, and the success rate is definitely higher than Ye Fei."
When it comes to alchemy, Lin Ye regains some of his former self-confidence.
He believes that Lan Chang'an will definitely be attracted to Breakthrough Pill after staying in Foundation Establishment Middle Stage for many years.
"Well, if we gather the materials, Alchemist Lin will take action at that time."
Lan Chang'an smiled and took advantage of the situation.
Foundation Establishment Late Stage and Breakthrough Pill, plan it openly and use it as a cover after breaking through in the future.
If Alchemist Lin has a good elixir-making rate, you can collect the materials yourself and make a fortune after refining it.
"Lu still needs to strengthen the elixir of Law Power. It doesn't matter if the side effects are slightly greater..."
Lan Chang'an also mentioned other elixirs.
The three Blood Sun Pill previously obtained from Alchemist Hua, which can greatly enhance the Law Power of monk Foundation Establishment, have been taken.
The side effects of Blood Sun Pill are relatively minor.
Certain elixirs will overdraw and consume life span, and the increase of Law Power is even more terrifying.
Lan Chang'an has a long life and is relatively affordable as long as it is not used frequently.
If used at critical moments, it is an excellent means of protecting the road.
"I am good at this kind of elixir!" Alchemist Lin agreed.
"By the way, can Alchemist Lin refine Youth Preservation Pill?"
Lan Chang'an finally seemed to remember something and asked again.
"Youth Preservation Pill? The difficulty of refining is not high among second-level elixirs. Although I have only refined it twice before, I can guarantee the success rate of elixirs."
Lin Ye had a hint of surprise on his face and didn't ask any more questions.
Youth Preservation Pill is not as valuable as Foundation Establishment, nor is it Crystal Condensation Pill.
For a Second-Order High-Grade Alchemist, it is nothing.
"Okay, these three elixirs, please give me Alchemist Lin."
After another moment of discussion, Lan Chang'an and Alchemist Lin Ye reached a preliminary agreement.
Not only that, Alchemist Lin also promised that when refining the elixir, Lan Chang'an can watch and answer the latter's doubts.
Lan Chang'an felt emotional, Alchemist, who used to be aloof and needed to be fawning over, now lives under the influence of others and has become considerate.
In addition to the transaction itself, Lin Ye also wants to make good friends with Lan Chang'an and receive certain support in the future.
"Daoist Lu Don't worry. I used to make elixirs for others, so it's my duty to keep secrets for my employer."
Alchemist Lin said a few words, said goodbye and left.
In fact, even if a little bit about Youth Preservation Pill is leaked, there will be no problem, and it may even be beneficial.
Today is different from the past.
Lan Chang'an's current strength and identity are enough to protect "hot potatoes" like Foundation Establishment Dan and Breakthrough Pill.
Lin Ye returned to Small Pill Peak's guest room and fell into deep thought.
Back then, when Alchemist Hua died, he had a little doubt about Lan Chang'an, but not much.
After testing, my doubts were basically dispelled.
A few days ago, he learned about the situation outside.
Yellow Dragon Mountain's Fu Xuemei almost failed Golden Core Realm. The quality of the finished elixir is far from the expectations of the Yellow Dragon Mountain lineage, and it may be lost to the public in the Golden Core Realm.
"I heard from Ye Fei that Xiang Jinglong came to Wuqi Mountain to beat the autumn wind in the past few years."
"Alchemist Hua, Fu Xuemei, Xiang Jinglong... none of them met a good end."
Lin Ye had an idea in his mind and couldn't help but shudder.
Reason told him that he was probably thinking too much. Intuition gave him the illusion that he was close to the truth.
If it weren't for coincidence, what he learned about Lan Chang'an was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Lin Ye quickly shook his head: No matter what the possibility is, just make the elixir yourself and don't ask any questions.
Lan Chang'an is at least not an enemy. We once faced a common enemy.
When Cultivation World was opened in troubled times, there were not many monks who could Offering Charcoal in Snow.
