"As long as I can do it and it doesn't violate principles or morals, I'll agree to your request!"
Qin Yi said this because Lan Baizhi's gaze made him a little 'afraid' of her making some unreasonable demands.
"Don't worry, you definitely can, and it won't violate your principles or morals!" Lan Baizhi said, "I just want you to teach me alchemy!"
Qin Yi: "..."
"Back then, I apprenticed myself to the crazy old man, hoping he would teach me alchemy. But he lied to us, saying he could only teach us one thing. Since he taught us cultivation, he couldn't teach us anything else!"
Lan Baizhi looked at Qin Yi expectantly, "The crazy old man is biased. He's unwilling to teach me, so junior brother, you teach me!"
Having witnessed Qin Yi refining pills in the hotel earlier, Lan Baizhi was stunned! Later, when she saw Qin Yi give the detoxifying pill to Li Changsheng at the Order Hall, and he woke up and recovered shortly after, the detoxifying pill truly worked, she was even more astonished!
Therefore, she confirmed that Qin Yi indeed possessed high alchemy skills and couldn't help herself but wanted Qin Yi to teach her!
The crazy old man refused to teach her, so she would ask Qin Yi to teach her. Once she learned it, she could go back and shut the crazy old man up!
Thinking this, Lan Baizhi became even more impatient. She suddenly grabbed Qin Yi's arms and said excitedly, "Qin Yi, as long as you're willing to teach me, you'll be my senior brother and master from now on. I'll agree to any conditions you have..."
The excited look on her face made Qin Yi's mouth twitch again.
Seeing that he didn't agree immediately, Lan Baizhi's eyes rolled. She grabbed his arm and continued, "Teach me alchemy, and I'll even marry you!"
"Pfft..."
Qin Yi couldn't help himself and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
To prevent Lan Baizhi from saying anything more shocking, Qin Yi quickly raised his hand to stop her and said, "Senior Sister, you just want to learn alchemy, don't you? I'll teach you. I have no conditions!"
Unlike the crazy old man, he didn't have any rules about not teaching people!
Although he hadn't known Lan Baizhi for long, and their contact was even shorter, he had a good impression of her and Ren Shuman!
Moreover, the two of them had helped him a lot.
"Really?"
Lan Baizhi's eyes shone with such brilliance that it seemed to solidify and radiate outwards.
"Of course, it's true. Do you think I would lie to you?"
"Qin Yi, you're too good. Thank you..."
Lan Baizhi, excited, removed her hands from Qin Yi's arms, cupped his face, and then leaned in, planting a hard kiss on his forehead.
"!!!"
Qin Yi stood there, frozen as if he had been hit by a paralyzing acupoint.
After kissing Qin Yi, Lan Baizhi also realized her actions might have been a bit excessive. She quickly stepped back, her face flushing slightly, and said, "Uh, Qin Yi, I'm sorry. I was just too excited just now and couldn't control myself..."
Qin Yi finally came back to his senses and said, "It's, it's fine!"
Later, at Lan Baizhi's eager urging, Qin Yi had no choice but to teach her the refining method for one type of pill on the spot.
He told her to successfully refine this pill first, and then he would teach her others.
Lan Baizhi wasn't greedy and didn't ask Qin Yi to teach her many pill refining methods immediately!
After getting the method, she greeted Qin Yi, went to prepare the medicinal ingredients herself, and then returned to the hotel where Qin Yi had refined the detoxifying pill to attempt the refining!
Qin Yi did not follow. After thinking for a moment, he returned to the Order Hall.
He still had some things to discuss with Li Changsheng and the others, and he wanted to go back and clarify them!
...
Abroad.
In a villa deep in the mountains, Long Hun was waiting for news of Feng Yun's return.
He had replayed countless times in his mind how he would torture the killer of Long Shi once Feng Yun brought them back, making them taste all the suffering in the world, wishing for life, not death!
However, after some time, he not only did not get Feng Yun back, but Feng Yun's soul lamp extinguished, and he received news of his death!
For a moment, Long Hun's face turned as dark as if it could bleed. He clenched his fists, his fingernails digging into his flesh.
He sat on a sofa in the villa and, after a long silence, said, "Shenzhou, it seems we have been gone for too long, and you have all forgotten us..."
"Since that is the case, then this time, I will personally go and remind you!"
"Long Yi!"
He suddenly called out.
"Your subordinate is here!"
A figure, like a ghost, appeared before Long Hun and knelt on one knee.
"Pass down the order, prepare the Dragon Guard, and accompany me to Shenzhou!"
"Yes!"
Long Yi did not hesitate, nor did he say an extra word. He only responded to Long Hun's command and disappeared from the spot again.
The Dragon Guard was a team Long Hun specifically assembled for himself. Although this team officially belonged to the Divine Gate's forces, in reality, it only pledged allegiance to Long Hun alone!
The Dragon Guard was Long Hun's sharpest dagger and his keenest blade!
With a single command from Long Hun, the Dragon Guard could even rebel against the Divine Gate and attack the Divine King of the Divine Gate!
Moreover, every member of the Dragon Guard was powerful and had profound cultivation! Most importantly, they were willing to die for Long Hun!
Therefore, the Dragon Guard was Long Hun's strongest trump card. Originally, Long Hun did not want to use the Dragon Guard easily, as he had assembled them to prepare for his ascent to the position of Divine King!
However, his biological son died in Shenzhou, and Feng Yun, whom he sent to capture the killer, also died, driving him completely mad!
He now only wanted revenge for his son! As long as he could avenge Long Shi, he would not hesitate to use his trump card and charge into Shenzhou!
...
Qin Yi returned to the Order Hall. Li Changsheng, Liang Jinghong, and the others were still in the main hall discussing matters, and no one had left.
Seeing Qin Yi return alone, with Lan Baizhi nowhere to be seen, they were all confused and surprised.
"Qin Yi, where did you go? Where is Miss Lan?"
The group paused their conversation. Xue Qiao'er asked Qin Yi.
"Nowhere..." Qin Yi replied, "My Senior Sister Lan suddenly had something to attend to and left first!"
Seeing that Qin Yi was unwilling to elaborate, Xue Qiao'er didn't press further.
Qin Yi walked up to them and asked, "Vice Hall Master Li, Vice Hall Master Liang, how do you plan to deal with Yu Tongbao next? Also, what about the disposal of the Misty Treasure Pavilion, Miao Village, Golden Blade Sect, and Lingyun Temple?"
Originally, how the Order Hall dealt with Yu Tongbao and the other sects had little to do with Qin Yi.
However, since Qin Yi had killed Long Shi, and the Misty Treasure Pavilion and other forces seemed to have some connection to the Divine Gate, he, as the Divine King, wanted to understand the situation.
