Yan Mingchao's straightforward question made Zhang Xiaozhu very embarrassed. This was the foundation of his alchemy. Not to mention that the old beggar had specially warned that the power of Taichu Yuanshi should not be sued at will. Even if he could sue others, he could not tell anyone at will. , because his alchemy will be exposed if he talks about it.
This is obviously an extremely offensive question.
Zhang Xiaozhu did not dare to glare at Yan Mingchao, so he chose to remain silent. Most of his favorable impression of Yan Mingchao was eliminated at once.
Yan Mingchao was not surprised to see Zhang Xiaozu's silence, and then said: "Your alchemy has broken through the shackles of alchemy for thousands of years, and is enough to lead alchemy into a new era, benefiting the people, and being famous throughout the ages."
Zhang Xiaozu continued to remain silent after hearing this.
"If you are willing, I am willing to exchange with you what I have learned throughout my life. After that, I will make the alchemy known to the public under your name, so that Master alchemy shares this technique, and I am grateful to you, so that your name will be passed down through the ages."
Zhang Xiaozu remained silent.
Yan Mingchao's words not only did not make him respect him, but made him wary. He did not believe that there were such selfless people in the world, and felt that Yan Mingchao was probably harboring evil intentions and wanted to deceive him about his alchemy skills with sweet words.
Yan Mingchao gently stroked his beard and said, "You must be thinking in your heart that this old guy must have no good intentions. He just said some high-sounding words, but in fact he must be trying to deceive me about my alchemy skills, right?"
"Junior doesn't dare." Zhang Xiaozu quickly denied it out loud, but he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed because Yan Mingchao had hit his mark.
Yan Mingchao smiled, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "As the saying goes: The bustle in the world is all for profit; the bustle in the world is for profit.
What I said was indeed too selfless, which inevitably makes people suspicious, but every word I said was indeed from the bottom of my heart. I just want to see Alchemy open the door to a new era in my lifetime.
I am not boasting. With my reputation, with just one word, all the benefits in the world will come to your door.
Having lived to my age, I have long lost sight of the word "fame and fortune". Is it understandable that I want to make some contribution to a career that I have loved all my life? "
Zhang Xiaozu couldn't tell whether Yan Mingchao's words were true or false, and the power of Taichu Yuanshi cannot be exposed. To say the least, even if he told Yan Mingchao, Yan Mingchao would not be able to promote his alchemy, because the power of Taichu Yuanshi is unique to him. Power, this alone made his alchemy skills irreproducible, so he was prepared to refuse directly.
But just when he opened his mouth to refuse, the old beggar's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Promise him, be a little clever, trick him into using his alchemy and weapon skills, and kill the fat sheep that come to your door."
Zhang Xiaozhu was shocked when he heard this. He wanted to ask back: "If you are caught being clever, you will be beaten to death, right? Don't trick me!"
But he was afraid of being heard by Yan Mingchao, so he didn't dare to send a message to reply. However, he swallowed the words of rejection that came to his lips and changed his words: "Senior, please let me go back and think about it."
In fact, I wanted to go back and ask the old beggar for advice on how to kill the fat sheep by being clever.
"It's natural." Yan Mingchao nodded in agreement, "Go back and think about it carefully. If you have any other requests, you can put them forward. As long as I have it or can do it, I will grant it to you."
"Thank you for your understanding, senior."
" Please think about it slowly and don't rush to give me the answer. Focus on Dansai first. I am optimistic about you."
"The juniors must try their best to live up to the expectations of the seniors."
"You go back and rest."
"Junior, take your leave."
Coming out of the small building, Zhang Xiaopou went straight to his residence. When he saw the old beggar in the yard, he immediately dragged him into the room and closed the door.
"Senior, please don't trick me. That's Grandmaster Yan of Linlang Pavilion. If I offend him, he doesn't even need to take action. Just say a word and this cultivator from Paradise City can chop me alive." Zhang The pawn stared into the old beggar's eyes and said, trying to find a hint of conspiracy in his eyes.
But the old beggar waved his hands indifferently and said: "Don't worry, this old boy is not a small-minded person, but
And he is very trustworthy. You only need to explain the conditions to him in advance and tell him that you will tell the truth about the alchemy. Then he will have to teach him all he has learned in his life. As for whether he can spread the alchemy to the world, you are not responsible. . "
Zhang Xiaozhu said in shock: "Then when he knows the truth and finds out that I deliberately tricked him, will he slap me to death?"
"The probability is extremely low." The old beggar pinched the tip of his little finger and gestured.
Zhang Xiaozu looked bitter and said: "Extremely low? That's possible. It's too dangerous, I won't do it."
"Look at your rat guts." The old beggar glanced at Zhang Xiaopeng with disdain.
Zhang Xiaozhu coughed in embarrassment and made an excuse: "It's not that I'm timid, I'm afraid of exposing the power of Taichu and Yuanshi. It's you who said that the power of Taichu and Yuanshi must not be disclosed to outsiders."
"Just ask him to keep this secret for you."
"Should I let him master it?" Zhang Xiaozhu said speechlessly.
But the old beggar nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, you can do it if you let him. I just said that he is a man who keeps his promises. Based on my understanding of him, what he said to you is indeed what you should do." He said it from the bottom of his heart, he didn't say it just to deceive you about his alchemy skills."
"Senior, are we old acquaintances?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked curiously, feeling that the old beggar knew Yan Mingchao very well.
"We met twice," the old beggar replied.
Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "Then how much do you know about him? And judging from your expression, I guess it was a long time ago that I last met him."
"It's indeed a few years ago." The old beggar twirled his beard, with a look of reminiscence on his face, and mused: "The last time we met... it should have been two thousand years ago, this guy ’s alchemy skills have improved a lot.”
"..." Zhang Xiaozu was speechless.
The old beggar raised his hand and patted Zhang Xiaopou on the shoulder and said, "Trust me, I'm very good at reading people."
Zhang Xiaozhu wanted to refute, but when he thought of the old beggar's ability to listen to the voices of all things with the power of Taichu, he had no choice but to nod and admit: "You are indeed good at this."
"Hey..." The old beggar raised his eyebrows, looked sideways at Zhang Xiaopou and asked, "Looking at your tone, why do I feel like you are not complimenting me, but more like you are despising me for being good at peeking into other people's hearts?"
"Don't you dare." Zhang Xiaozu waved his hand quickly.
"Really?" The old beggar narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhang Xiaopou suspiciously.
"It's absolutely true." Zhang Xiaozhu puffed up his chest and let the old beggar examine him, saying that what he said was true, and explained: "Senior, you are too sensitive and think too much."
"I'll fight!" The old beggar suddenly shouted and pumped his fist.
With a bang, Zhang Xiaopou was punched in the chest and flew backwards, smashing the door of the hall and falling into the courtyard.
"snort!"
"You've already said that I have some tricks up my sleeve, so what are you thinking? Do you think I don't know?"
The old beggar snorted displeasedly.
Zhang Xiaozou originally wanted to get up and argue with the old beggar, but after hearing what the old beggar said, he immediately shut up. At the same time, he became more and more afraid of the old beggar's ability, and secretly warned himself not to whisper in front of him in the future.
He got up, dusted himself off, walked to the pavilion in the yard and sat down, thinking seriously about the old beggar's proposal.
