The Medicine Saint was not an unintelligent person. He knew clearly that Ye Cangtian's mention of these matters was simply to persuade him to lead the Medicine King Valley to join the Hidden Group.
Therefore, he deliberately spoke this way to hint to Ye Cangtian that he should drop the topic here, lest it affect their harmony.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian looked regretful, as he naturally understood the Medicine Saint's meaning.
After a brief silence, Ye Cangtian took out two small porcelain bottles from his Qiankun bag and secretly stuffed them into the Medicine Saint's hand.
Huh?
The Medicine Saint was also stunned as he looked at the porcelain bottles in his hand.
He knew that the small bottles must contain pills.
However, this was the Medicine King Valley, and he was also a skilled physician. Ordinary pills would not catch his eye, so there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Senior, here are two Nine-Revolution Golden Pills."
"You are supporting the Medicine King Valley all by yourself, and it's truly difficult to fight with your bare hands. You need some helpers."
"I hope these two pills can help you."
Ye Cangtian said in a low voice.
That's right, the small bottles contained Nine-Revolution Golden Pills, which he had obtained from the blood pool.
The reason for giving them away was not to curry favor with the other party, but for two reasons.
Firstly, it was for the sake of Yao Bao'er, who was, after all, Yao Bao'er's grandfather.
Having two more Earth-level experts could help the Medicine Saint share some of the burden, so he wouldn't have to do everything himself.
Secondly, Ye Cangtian did not want this rare peaceful place to be encroached upon by others, so enhancing the defensive strength was also inevitable.
"This..."
On the other side, upon hearing the words "Nine-Revolution Golden Pills," the Medicine Saint's eyes widened, and he was truly bewildered by Ye Cangtian's actions.
He naturally knew the effects of the Nine-Revolution Golden Pills. With these two pills, many difficulties could be resolved.
But the problem was, he couldn't accept them!
If he accepted them, what could he offer in return for the favor?
Would he have to reveal the identity of that traitor?
That was impossible, he did not want the Medicine King Valley to be massacred!
Would he have to lead the Medicine King Valley to join the Hidden Group?
Equally impossible, this was the peaceful land he had established over half his life. Although it was not a great achievement, it was a peaceful land, unique in the ruins.
It could be considered a clear stream.
After a long period of hesitation, the Medicine Saint still resisted the temptation and shook his head, saying, "Young man, I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot accept these Nine-Revolution Golden Pills!"
"Senior, you must accept these two pills."
"Don't worry, I will never ask you to do anything. Just consider them as Bao'er's filial piety to you!"
"To tell you secretly, Bao'er can already refine inferior Nine-Revolution Golden Pills, and if time permits, refining perfect Nine-Revolution Golden Pills will not be a problem!"
Ye Cangtian once again stuffed the Nine-Revolution Golden Pills into the Medicine Saint's hand and said in a very low voice.
After all, he did not want such matters to cause unnecessary trouble.
"What?"
Inferior Nine-Revolution Golden Pills?
Upon hearing this news, the Medicine Saint was utterly stunned.
He had painstakingly researched the art of alchemy for so many years and naturally understood the meaning of these words.
Being able to refine inferior Nine-Revolution Golden Pills was already a big step towards success.
It proved that both the skill and the ingredients of the pills were basically mastered, and only a little proficiency was lacking.
From the perspective of alchemy skills alone, Yao Bao'er had already surpassed him.
Thinking of this, the Medicine Saint seemed to recall something, and his gaze immediately turned unusually grim.
"No, I must bring Bao'er back!"
Being able to refine Nine-Revolution Golden Pills was no small matter in the entire ruins. If such news were to leak out, countless people would compete for Yao Bao'er.
And the methods they would use would surely be unscrupulous, which could potentially harm Yao Bao'er.
More importantly, Ye Cangtian and the other person had always claimed that the man was a traitor to the Hidden Group.
If he knew about this, he would definitely try to kill Yao Bao'er.
With these thoughts in mind, the Medicine Saint could no longer care about anything else and prepared to bring Yao Bao'er back first. He naturally would not let Yao Bao'er face danger alone.
"Senior, please be patient."
"Bao'er's affairs have been kept very hidden. Currently, only the three of us and Dongfang Mingyue of the Hidden Group know about it, so no one will notice her for now."
"Therefore, you don't need to rush. The reason I'm telling you this is to let you know that Bao'er's contribution to the Hidden Group far exceeds these two pills, so you can accept them with a clear conscience."
"Are you still going to distinguish between yourself and Bao'er?"
Seeing the Medicine Saint's anxious expression, Ye Cangtian quickly persuaded him.
This...
After hearing this, the Medicine Saint hesitated, and finally nodded slowly, saying, "Then I shall accept them. Thank you."
Seeing that the Medicine Saint had accepted the Nine-Revolution Golden Pills, Ye Cangtian showed a calm smile and said, "Senior, it's late, thank you for your warm hospitality. I will go back to my room to rest..."
Upon hearing this, the Medicine Saint nodded and did not stop him.
In fact, he wanted to learn more about Yao Bao'er's matters, but he was also afraid that Ye Cangtian would say something more under the guise of chatting.
After all, one could not bite the hand that fed them, so he suppressed his desire.
Seeing Ye Cangtian leave, Elder Long shifted his position towards the Medicine Saint, raised his wine glass, and said, "Come, stop looking at that kid, let's drink. Let's drink today and get drunk today!"
"Good."
The Medicine Saint nodded upon hearing this, raised his wine glass, and began to drink with Elder Long.
...
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight illuminated the Medicine King Valley.
Ye Cangtian and Elder Long had already packed everything and arrived at the valley entrance, surrounded by a crowd.
"Senior, please see me off here. I look forward to your visit to Dragon City soon."
Ye Cangtian cupped his hands and bowed to the Medicine Saint.
He had no other intentions, but he hoped that the Medicine Saint could reunite with Yao Bao'er soon. He believed that Yao Bao'er had also been looking forward to that day for a long time.
The Medicine Saint nodded, then took out a Qiankun bag and handed it to Ye Cangtian.
"Here are some pills I have refined over the years. They have many effects, and there are explanations inside."
"Although they are not as miraculous as the Nine-Revolution Golden Pills, they can still play some role at certain times. I hope they can help you."
"Also, there is an ancient secret manual. I have already made annotations. Please hand it over to Yao Bao'er."
The Medicine Saint said solemnly.
Since he had found his family, it was undoubtedly time to pass on his legacy to them.
And since he could not leave the Medicine King Valley for the time being, he could only ask Ye Cangtian to deliver it, so that Yao Bao'er's cultivation would not be delayed.
"Thank you, senior."
"Please rest assured, senior, I will handle this matter."
Ye Cangtian bowed again, and then, along with Elder Long, left the Medicine King Valley.
After seeing the two off, the Medicine Saint led the others back to the Medicine King Valley. As soon as he returned to his separate courtyard, he stopped.
A figure was already standing in the courtyard. The person's chest was still bandaged. Was it not the traitor mentioned by Ye Cangtian?
"They've already left. Why are you still here?"
The Medicine Saint glanced at the old man and asked grimly. His large hand had already taken out the Poison Dragon Ruler, appearing very vigilant.
No way, he felt a bit close to Ye Cangtian and the others, and the other party would definitely think so.
Now that Ye Cangtian and the other had just left, and the other party appeared, it was clear they had malicious intentions.
"Medicine Saint, do you remember my warning?"
The old man glanced at the Medicine Saint, completely ignoring the Medicine Saint's state of vigilance, and directly questioned him.
"Hmph! I haven't revealed any information about you, nor have I treated Long Xuefeng!"
"What? Are you planning to silence me now?"
Listening to the old man's voice, the Medicine Saint snorted and said in a low voice.
"I know these things naturally. Otherwise, do you think you would still be standing here talking to me?"
The old man glanced at the Medicine Saint and said slowly.
He had never left. Although he didn't know what exactly had happened in the valley,
It had been only a day since Ye Cangtian and Elder Long left, which clearly indicated that the Medicine Saint had not treated Elder Long.
The reason was very simple. Even if the Medicine Saint's medical skills were heaven-defying, it was impossible to heal Elder Long to complete recovery within a day.
The next moment, seeing the Medicine Saint cast a doubtful glance, the old man snorted and slowly said, "I want to know what you put in the Qiankun bag that you gave to Ye Cangtian!"
This was what he wanted to ask. If there was any information in the Qiankun bag that was worth his attention, he had to be prepared to deal with it.
Upon hearing this, the Medicine Saint said faintly, "What I gave to Ye Cangtian was nothing more than the pills I refined personally over the years. After all, the other party helped my Medicine King Valley yesterday, so these gifts in return are deserved!"
After a pause, the Medicine Saint picked up the Poison Dragon Ruler and continued, "Other than that, there is nothing else. If you want to silence me now, you can start!"
