In the central area of Yaowang Island, on a flat-topped peak with a height of 100 feet, a not-so-luxurious house stood here, with golden firelight slipping out from the wide open eaves.
An old woman stood in front of the door, leaning on a cane. She had gray temples, a stooped spine, and layers of wrinkles on her face. She looked like an autumn maple leaf, giving people a sense of loss of life.
The night wind blew her thin cloth, but she didn't care. She just looked at the man refining the alchemy in the room with a smile, her eyes full of love.
About half a quarter of an hour passed, and wisps of red incense flowed out of the room, and the old woman began to walk into the house.
"Grandson Mu Long, how many pharmacists have you bullied today?"
The man stood up when he heard the sound. He didn't bother to open the stove and get the elixir. He quickly moved a chair in the room and motioned for the old woman to sit down.
"Grandma, you don't know, they all exclude me. No matter how much I beg them, they won't play with me anymore!" Mu Long had a resentful expression on his face, like a spoiled child.
"It's not because you always like to play tricks on others. Every time you compete with others, you deliberately show weakness, create a situation of equal strength, and lure the other party to continue competing with you.
The last time your uncle competed with you for eleven days, he lost a total of 299 times. He lost half of his life savings to you!
He is over 700 years old, and he came to my house and cried all night. "The old woman's tone was reproachful, and her eyes were a little doting.
Mu Long scratched his head and replied with a smile: "I didn't expect that my uncle's psychological quality could be so poor!"
The old woman touched the ground lightly with her crutch, and an invisible mana flowed in the house, closing the doors and windows. At the same time, a transparent barrier appeared, wrapping the entire house.
The old woman sat on the chair and raised her withered yellow palm as if to touch her grandson in front of her. Mu Long also squatted down, took the old woman's palm and put it against his face.
"My dear grandson, you also know that grandma has less than a hundred years left in her life. This grand gathering of pharmacists may be the last one that grandma will host."
"Grandma..." The playful look on Mu Long's face disappeared, replaced by sadness and helplessness.
The old woman rubbed her grandson's face, as if to wipe away the sadness on his face, and comforted: "Everyone will die, it's not a big deal, and grandma has lived long enough, and she has long been concerned about life and death." It’s over, but there’s just one thing that grandma still can’t let go of…”
Mu Long's eyes were firm and he said in a serious tone: "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely let the name of Medicine King remain on our Medicine King Island."
The old woman said solemnly: "My grandson, there are many old guys who have been famous for a long time at this pharmacist's event. There are two people you need to pay attention to. One is Yin Po from You Luo Sect, and the other is Dan. Chu Lu of the Immortal Sect.
But based on their level, they can't threaten us, we just need to pay attention. "
Mu Long thought for a moment and asked, "Grandma, didn't you say before that the leader of the Immortal and Demon Alliance would also come? I even saw his mount You Yunkun today! Isn't he a threat to us?"
The old woman smiled and said: "If Yan Yan Wuhui himself comes in person, then he is indeed our biggest opponent, but the person who came today is not him, but his young apprentice Ling Xinxue.
Her strength is extraordinary and her qualifications are also very good, but it is a pity that she underestimates the medicine master. She has only studied medicine for decades, and then she came to the medicine master event to compete for the title of Medicine King.
I also deliberately tested her pharmacist level today, and she is only one point better than your uncle. "
Mu Long smiled awkwardly because he had only been studying medicine for several decades.
The old woman looked at Mu Long and said softly: "You are different from her. You are born with a wonderful sense of medicine. You are a rare pharmacist genius in the world."
After saying this, the old woman's face showed a little sadness, and her eyes filled with tears: "Actually, the one grandma really can't let go of has always been you.
Just treat this Pharmacist Festival as an ordinary competition and don’t take it too seriously. Even if Yaowang Island loses the name of Yaowang, it will still be Yaowang Island.
Grandma knows that your biggest wish is to go out and make a living, to become famous all over the world like Yan Yan Wuhui, and to be a great hero known to everyone.
You have the heart to be free from the world, but because of my words, you are forced to stay on Yaowang Island to study medicine.
It’s really hard on you…”
Mu Long shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, my grandson also likes medicine. The feeling of winning in a competition is very satisfying."
The old woman looked at her sensible grandson in front of her. After an unknown amount of time, the old woman let out a long sigh and made up her mind. She said in a heroic tone: "If you lose in this competition, go out and do what you want to do." What a big deal! I will win back the name of King of Medicine in sixty years.
Grandma is an old lady, but she can survive until the next pharmacist event. "
A moment of yearning flashed across Mu Long's face, then he raised his head and said in a arrogant tone: "Then someone must be able to win me. I don't like to lose on purpose in a competition!"
The old woman said seriously: "Grandma, I will also participate in this competition. Can't I beat you?"
Mu Long held his head high and said proudly: "Thirty years ago, I defeated you."
The old woman's face showed a bit of fighting spirit, she stood up from the chair, and said unwillingly: "I underestimated you last time. According to your competition requirements, I refined the concentration pill that I am not good at, and you were lucky enough to win. Got me once.
Let's compete again today and let me see how much you have improved. "
Mu Long replied forcefully: "Okay, in that case let's compete again.
The content of the competition will be determined by guessing it! "
The old woman looked confused and asked: "What is guessing?"
Mu Long adjusted his posture triumphantly, then stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at a 45-degree angle.
The old woman looked at the top of her head with a puzzled expression, wondering what was so interesting about the roof.
"Grandma, you don't know something..."
Although it was night, the local mortals still did not sleep peacefully. This grand gathering of pharmacists, held once every sixty years, was a good opportunity for them to make a fortune.
On the outskirts of Yaowang Island, Liu Nian followed He Ling and bought an unknown number of fragrant fruits. The only clear thing was that they spent a total of eleven spiritual stones.
All the stalls along the coast were bought by He Ling alone.
On a certain boulder on the coast, Liu Nian had a mouth full of fruit pulp and said to He Ling seriously.
"He Ling, let me remind you first. Although this fragrant fruit tastes good, it is not like the fruit from my Haoqi Mountain. It has transcended ordinary quality.
If you eat too many fragrant fruits, impurities will accumulate in your body. "
He Ling moved away from Liu Nian, protecting the storage bag around her waist, curling her lips and saying, "Are you trying to steal my fragrant fruit again?"
Liu Nian licked the fruit pulp at the corner of his mouth and said seriously: "Look at you, you stingy guy! Didn't I agree that I will carry you here and I can eat whatever I want from the fragrant fruit?"
He Ling snorted coldly and reluctantly placed the storage bag filled with fragrant fruits between the two of them. He murmured in his heart: "You are obviously the stingy one. Every time you buy fragrant fruits, you don't want to spend more." Half a spiritual stone."
Liu Nian took out a fragrant fruit from the storage bag in front of him and bit it without any hesitation. While eating, he said inarticulately: "What I said is true. If you eat too much fragrant fruit, it will really Impurities grow in the body, but the amount of impurities is not much!
It won't have much of an impact on you, it's just that you can't help but release some toxic gases. "
He Ling's eyes were wandering, wondering what the poisonous gas in Liu Nian's mouth was? So he asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's just... burp!" Liu Nianzheng said, burped, and added: "I'm in better shape than you. These toxic gases will not accumulate in the body and can be discharged with a burp.
I am from above, and you are from..."
Gu Gu Gu Gu...
At this time, He Ling's stomach growled uncontrollably twice, and a long-lost feeling suddenly appeared!
That was a feeling she often experienced before entering the foundation building realm.
A warm current slowly flows through the body.
Ahhhh, stop, don't move any more!
The He Ling pestle stayed on the spot, motionless. The fragrant fruit in his hand fell and rolled to the ground.
As a foodie, He Ling had no idea of saving food.
Liu Nian stepped forward, looked at He Ling, whose face was red, and asked knowingly: "He Ling, what's wrong with you? You look like you're working very hard!"
He Ling didn't dare to breathe now, and replied in a small voice: "Ni Zuokai! Leave me alone!"
The corners of Liu Nian's mouth rose, knowing that now was a good opportunity for revenge!
Back then, when I wanted to lie down on the stone bed and want to be quiet, you took turns torturing me!
How you treat me!
Liu Nian shook He Ling's body desperately, with an anxious tone in his voice. Although his eyes were covered with cloth, he had a worried expression.
"He Ling, what's wrong with you! Don't scare me!"
After being shaken by Liu Nian, He Ling pressed his legs together, gritted his teeth, and could hardly move at all.
"He Ling, I'm Liu Nian, can you hear me now? If you can, just give me a reaction, move your fingers, blink your eyes, whatever... Hahahaha" Liu Nian was still there after all. I couldn't hold back my smile.
Hearing Liu Nian's laughter, He Ling understood that Liu Nian's behavior just now was intentional. With tears in his eyes, He Ling yelled: "Get out!"
Liu Nian jumped into the air and said to He Ling: "Okay, I'll retreat first! You can enjoy it to your heart's content..."
The moon sets and the sun rises, and in a blink of an eye it’s the next morning
Liu Nian took He Ling, who had been crying all night, to a special place where pharmacists gathered, an exclusive place for seeking medical advice.
The grand gathering of pharmacists gathered countless pharmacists, and naturally monks came to seek medical treatment.
"Don't you like treating illnesses and saving people the most? This is your favorite place!
Okay, okay, please don't cry. I will agree to any conditions, as long as you don't cry. Liu Nian comforted He Ling.
He Ling pursed her lips, sobbing in her breath, and whispered: "Then you are not allowed to tell others what happened last night."
Liu Nian suddenly fell into a state of hesitation.
He Ling grinned and cried, "You are still hesitant..."
"Okay, okay, I promise you, I won't tell anyone else."
