Chapter 166 Master Baiyan (please subscribe, please vote)
"You're riding a horse! Old man Ke, are you impatient with your life?! If I don't beat you until you call me daddy today, my name, Bai Yan, will be written upside down!"
An angry curse quickly came from the door. Obviously, this was the White Smoke Master that Lin Yi and Tuk Byrne were looking for.
The door opened in response, and Bai Yan saw Ke Lao outside the door. He was about to continue to vent his anger, but he caught a glimpse of Lin Yi and Tuke Burn behind Ke Lao.
Seeing that there were outsiders present, he swallowed back the curse words that came to his lips.
After all, he still has to maintain a certain image and not be too embarrassed in front of outsiders.
"Master Baiyan, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still have such a hot temper." Tuk Byrne greeted with a smile, as if the other party's just scolding did not affect him.
Bai Yan glared at Tuke Burn and said angrily: "Why do you come to me? I'm busy right now, so don't bother me if you have nothing to do." After saying that, he pretended to close the door.
Seeing this, Tuke Burn quickly stepped forward and said: "Master Baiyan, please stay. We have important matters to discuss with you."
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Bai Yan's tone was still unkind, but at least he didn't drive them away again.
He led a few people in and made a cup of fragrant tea for Lin Yi and Tuke Burne each. For Ke Lao, he just poured a cup of cold water casually. His attitude seemed to say: "Drink it if you like it, drink it if you don't want it." Pull down."
Seeing this unabashed differential treatment, Mr. Ke finally got angry, "What do you mean by this? This is obvious discrimination!"
Without saying a word, he picked up the cup of cold water and drank it in one gulp. Then he put the cup down heavily and signaled Bai Yan to give him more water.
"Hell, keep the water aside and add it yourself. By the way, Commander Tuke Burn, do you have anything important to do here? If you don't have anything else to do, leave quickly. Old man, I'm still in a hurry to do experiments." Bai Yan said to Tuke. ·Bourne unceremoniously issued an eviction order.
For him, anyone who disturbs his experiments is unwelcome.
"I'm sorry, Master Baiyan, I came to you this time for something really important." Tuk Byrne said apologetically.
As Tuk Byrne narrated, Bai Yan's expression gradually changed from irritated to serious.
"It's interesting, kid." Bai Yan's gaze turned to Lin Yi, a pair of sophisticated eyes revealing a bit of curiosity and exploration, "I heard Tuk Byrne say that you are also an alchemist?"
"That's right." Lin Yi replied, "But at present I am only proficient in the preparation of two potions, and I have not yet mastered the deeper alchemy."
"It's good to master two kinds." Bai Yan's mouth curved with interest, "Come on, you are here and prepare the potion you know how to do in front of me. Let me see how good your craftsmanship is. "
With that said, Bai Yan stood up, walked to the experimental table, and made an invitation gesture to Lin Yi, "You can use this table as you like."
"Since the senior said so, then the junior should be more respectful than obey." After Lin Yi said that, he stood up and walked to the experimental platform with a steady pace.
He followed the formula of No. 32 Bright Potion and quickly selected all the required materials.
Bai Yan stood aside, observing every detail of Lin Yi's movements with piercing eyes.
When Lin Yi placed the materials on the experimental table one by one, Bai Yan began to read their names one by one: "Ambergris, Tianling Grass, Bingxinhua... Well, judging from the selected materials, this should be A potion that is both healing and detoxifying.”
Ice Heart Flower is an indispensable material for making low-level antidote potions, while other medicinal materials play an important role in treating injuries.
Seeing Lin Yi handling the materials with skillful and precise techniques, Bai Yan finally became interested.
Judging from the skills displayed by Lin Yi, he is obviously not a newbie. In Bai Yan's eyes, Lin Yi's techniques were not only fully qualified, but even surpassed the level of his alchemy apprentices.
Lin Yi began to prepare the potion according to the established steps in an orderly manner, while Bai Yan watched his every minute movement with concentration.
Seeing Bai Yan being so focused, Tuke Burn wanted to take the opportunity to mention the urgency of the military situation and express his willingness to leave.
Bai Yan interrupted him without hesitation, and waved his hand to indicate to him to leave quickly if he was in a hurry, and not to interfere with him watching Lin Yi's wonderful pharmaceutical process.
So, with Tuc Burn's aggrieved but helpless expression, he had no choice but to leave the cabin quietly.
Twenty minutes later, as Lin Yi completed the last step, Bright Potion No. 32 was successfully prepared.
"Well, you did a good job indeed." Bai Yan nodded with satisfaction, a rare look of approval on his face. He walked slowly to Lin Yi's side, and gently dipped his fingers into the crucible to take a little of the freshly baked medicine.
Bai Yan put his fingers into his mouth and savored the effect of the liquid.
"What a miracle. Who on earth developed such a prescription? It is simply unbelievable that the medicinal properties of these medicinal materials can be brought into full play."
Bai Yan's voice gradually became lower, as if he had fallen into endless reverie about the mysterious master.
"Okay, okay, kid, hurry up and give the antidote to this old man. The smell of medicine in this place is too strong. I can't stay here for a second." Mr. Ke covered his nose and pretended to slap him with a look of disgust. Feng, this move instantly broke Bai Yan's reverie.
Bai Yan came back to his senses and glared at Ke Lao angrily, "You guy, you always want to take advantage of me. Get out of here, you are not welcome in this place."
Then he turned to Lin Yi, with a kind smile on his face and expectation in his eyes: "Your name is Lin Yi, right? Are you interested in coming to me and being my apprentice? As long as you are willing, you can use all the materials I have here. Feel free to use it, I can also teach you some new recipes to take your alchemy to the next level. How about you think about it?"
Lin Yi was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Bai Yan to suddenly make such an invitation.
"Hmph, you make it easy." Ke Lao snorted disdainfully and mocked, "You old immortal, you are just an alchemy master, how dare you teach others?"
Bai Yan's face changed slightly, and he responded coldly: "I think someone is old and weak and started talking nonsense."
Before he finished speaking, white smoke suddenly rushed towards Ke Lao.
The two of them quickly grappled together, their movements so fast that it was dizzying.
"Damn it, you dare to pull my beard!" Bai Yan roared angrily, grabbing Ke Lao's wrist tightly with one hand, and trying to pry away the other's fingers that were gripping his beard with the other hand.
"Didn't you grab my hair too hard?" Ke Lao grinned in pain, but turned his head away without showing any weakness, trying to get rid of the shackles of the white smoke.
"Let go!" Bai Yan roared, his cheeks slightly twisted, obviously trying to hold back his anger.
"You let go first and then I let go!" Mr. Ke also looked stubborn. The two of them were like two children, locked in a stalemate on the floor.
At this time, Bai Yan gasped and suggested: "How about this, let's count to one, two, three, and then let go together."
Ke Lao's eyes widened, as if he wanted to confirm whether Bai Yan was sincere, "You said, let go after counting?"
"Yes, let's loosen together." Bai Yan nodded, his eyes firm.
"Okay, one, two, three!" Ke Lao and Bai Yan counted in unison. However, after counting, neither of them had any intention of letting go. Instead, they both held on tighter.
"Ouch, it hurts! I knew you, an old fox, could cheat!" Ke Lao covered his sore beard and turned his head angrily, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"Nonsense! It's obvious that you, an old ghost, didn't keep your word, so why did you beat him up?" Bai Yan was also furious. His carefully combed hair was now messed up by Ke Lao, making it look like a chicken coop.
After several minutes of stalemate and quarreling, the two finally exhausted their strength and got up from the ground in embarrassment.
Their hair and beards have become messy now, and they can no longer look as clean as before.
"Bah, boy, come with me. Whoever wants to come to this wretched place can come."
After Lin Yi took out the antidote formula, before Lin Yi could object, Ke Lao pulled Lin Yi out of the cabin.
Bai Yan was furious behind him, scolding Mr. Ke for not respecting martial ethics and stealing his apprentice. But Mr. Ke didn't care at all and pulled Lin Yi away from here.
After returning to the camp, Ke Lao let go of Lin Yi's hand, took out a box of oil from the tent, and began to carefully maintain his beard.
As he applied it, he looked in the mirror with a distressed expression on his face.
He spent a lot of time growing these beards carefully, and each one represents his pride and dignity.
Now that he has lost so much all of a sudden, can he not feel distressed?
