Ye Yan and Lin Ranyu chatted all the way before returning to Qingyun Temple.
The expressions of both of them were very relaxed and comfortable, with no hint of consciousness that they had become prisoners.
This was the first time since they met that they had endless topics to talk about.
In the past, Ye Yan would always end the conversation, and he could no longer continue the conversation.
But this time, the initiative in chatting has always been on Ye Yan's side, and there is no saying that the conversation can't continue.
And his chatting skills are not very good, not much different from usual.
It can be seen that chatting is indeed a technical job, but the key still depends on whether the two parties are willing to chat.
Zhang Yi looked at Ye Yan and said, "Your Highness, we meet again."
Ye Yan looked around Qingyun Temple, and after figuring out the current situation, he said, "Did Priest Enci escape?"
"Yes, we all fell into his trap. There is no elixir in him at all." Zhang Yi admitted his failure generously, without feeling at all how embarrassing it was to be deceived by others as a fool.
But the more he behaves like this, the more difficult he is to deal with.
As expected of someone who has been an official in the court for several years, he is not at the same level as other Taoist priests.
Ye Yan finally fell into his hands. No matter what the process was, the result was that he was the winner.
With Ye Yan, everything is available.
Ye Yan smiled and did not continue to answer.
When he chose to decisively keep Bai Enci behind, he had thought about such a situation.
Bai Enci has brains and abilities. Without restrictions, he has unlimited possibilities.
Because he knew that he was actually the one who would hold him back.
But why did he choose to be with Lin Ranyu in the end?
Again, he knew what he was saying, but he couldn't leave Lin Ranyu behind just in case.
Because compared to Bai Enci, Lin Ranyu was more important to him, and he couldn't let Lin Ranyu leave his sight.
At the same time, he cannot break away from the inherent knowledge of human beings, that is, when facing danger, they always subconsciously feel that it is better to face it with two people than alone.
Of course, Bai Enci's ability to escape was also related to the fact that he attracted most of the firepower.
This was something he didn't expect.
If he thought about this, he might make a different choice.
In general, no matter from which point of view, Lin Ranyu was implicated by him.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Yi continued: "Bai Enci has no way to contact people in the court. In a short period of time, he cannot bring anyone to save you, the prince.
However, when the court knows that you are missing, the situation will be completely different.
So there isn't much time left for us.
Your Highness, tell me now what your decision is. "
At this point, Zhang Yi's eyes suddenly became dangerous, as if Ye Yan said something that dissatisfied him, he would immediately take action.
Ye Yan shrugged and said, "Don't you just want to refine the elixir? As long as you don't touch me and Amaranth Yu, I'll leave it to you."
Lin Ranyu didn't speak during the whole process, leaving all the decision-making power to Ye Yan.
Only when Ye Yan called her Yu Yu, she turned her head and glanced at Ye Yan, but she quickly looked away.
Under the calm expression on his face, no one knew what she was thinking.
The only thing that was certain was that she was definitely thinking of a way to escape, a way for her and Ye Yan to escape together.
Why include Ye Yan? Because Ye Yan was not included, then why would she stay with Ye Yan? Wouldn't it be unnecessary.
Soon after.
In Zhang Yi's alchemy room, what comes into view is a large picture of Yin Yang, Fish and Bagua, surrounded by portraits of Taoist ancestors of the Three Qing Dynasties and Taoist celebrities.
Compared with Bai Enci's alchemy room, this place is more spacious and has a more Taoist alchemy room atmosphere. There are more and more complete alchemy materials on the wooden shelves.
It can be seen at just one glance that whether it is refining alchemy or being a Taoist priest, Zhang Yi, the master of the temple, is more professional than Bai Enci.
But this is normal. If Zhang Yi was not good at practicing Taoism and alchemy, then the people in Qingyun Temple would not obey his orders so much.
Following Ye Yan's eyes, he looked around at his satisfactory work. After Ye Yan looked away, he said with a little pride: "How about it, my place is not worse than the palace, right?
Your father lives in Xiantai Pond, and his life is definitely not as cool as mine. When I refine the elixir and gain immortality, he is not even qualified to talk to me. "
"You are just a Taoist priest, and you are in charge of only small Qingyun Temples, while my father owns the entire Daqian Dynasty.
You two are not on the same level at all, so there is no need to compare them together. "
Ye Yan told the truth without giving any face. Ye Yucheng was his greatest confidence. There was no way he could let Ye Yucheng lose face in front of Zhang Yicheng. This would damage his momentum.
Before Zhang Yi could get angry, Ye Yan continued: "The master of the temple has a grudge against my father?"
A trace of resentment flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes, and he shook his head and said: "There is no hatred or resentment, but the people of King Daqian are currently displaced. I don't know how many people come to our Qingyun Temple to accuse the current emperor of his stupidity.
The Daqian Dynasty has run out of energy. "
Ye Yan chuckled and said: "People come to Qingyun Temple to seek help from the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty, not from you, the master of the temple.
The strength of the Daqian Dynasty is not up to you.
Your Highness is protected by a true dragon, and I am the spirit of the Daqian Dynasty. "
After saying this, Zhang Yi was slightly startled.
He looked at Ye Yan's face, as if he saw the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty sitting on the dragon throne on Ye Yan's face.
Will I also lose to this kid?
Such thoughts flashed past, and Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and said: "You are young and can only use your words. You should hurry up and hand over the method of refining the elixir."
"I've been ready for a long time, please help me, Nan Yu." Ye Yan changed his tone and said to Lin Yu, who had been following closely.
Lin Ranyu nodded calmly and said, "Now that I've known you, you finally look like a prince."
"Then am I very handsome now? How do I compare with my imperial brother?" Ye Yan asked with a smile. Comparing him with Ye Chen was completely subconscious behavior on his part.
"There is no need to compare them together." Lin Yuyu answered Ye Yan using what Ye Yan said to Zhang Yi just now.
Ye Yan chuckled and said, "Brother Huang is indeed better than me in every aspect."
The topic ended here. Under the gaze of the Taoist priests at Qingyun Temple, Ye Yan began the process of refining gunpowder.
Just like in Bai Enci's alchemy room, he took many useless materials, mixed with charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter.
But during this process, Lin Yuyu gave him a strange look.
Lin Yuyu is not as smart as Bai Enci, but her memory is fine.
At that time, she carefully wrote down the materials needed to refine the elixir. Now, the materials Ye Yan took were many different and the amounts were also different.
For example, regarding charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter, she found that Ye Yan took many times more.
"Is refining the elixir so careless and irregular?" Lin Yuyu had a lot of doubts in his little head.
