I'm also desperate.
Chapter 252 Minor Problems in Alchemy
"Wait, wait! Explain yourself! Hey! Stop! What's the rush!"
Lang Mo yelled at Fang Yue as he chased after him, but he couldn't keep up. He glared in frustration.
After calming down slightly, he was immediately shocked.
As the third young master of the captain's family and one of the deputy captains of the guard, Lang Mo had some perspective.
That speed... could it be that this guy... is already a Houtian second-rate expert?!
A Houtian second-rate expert among the vagrants? How terrifying!
Lang Mo was shocked by Fang Yue's talent for the first time.
Vagrants, as far as he knew, were a new type of life that had appeared only a dozen days ago.
They were no different from humans in appearance, but their emergence was extremely strange. When they slept, their eyes were dull, and they had a short lifespan.
Fortunately, they could absorb yang energy, so as long as they were capable, they wouldn't really die because of the yang energy problem.
But in terms of talent, they were truly perverted!
Advancing to Houtian second-rate in just over ten days? That was even more heaven-defying than the geniuses of the sects!
Lang Mo felt both jealous and envious, which eventually turned into a deep sigh.
Talent was predetermined. There was no use in envying it!
...
An Residence.
Fang Yue was once again a guest at Doctor An's home.
But Doctor An was in his lab, tinkering with things, and wasn't seeing anyone for the time being.
So Fang Yue could only wait in the main hall.
And that's when the trouble started.
Fang Yue awkwardly glanced at An Dong'er, who was beside him, blinking her cute big eyes.
She wasn't the problem; she was just curiously looking Fang Yue up and down.
But her older sisters behind her were different.
Their gazes seemed to want to devour Fang Yue completely. They were dressed more alluringly than the last, and anyone who didn't know better would think they were having some kind of orgy.
"Captain Ye is so shy! So cute!"
"Captain Ye, have some grapes. Let me feed you!"
"Captain Ye, my legs are so sore. Can you help me rub them?"
Such white grapes! No... it was that all you could see were white legs!
Submerged in a sea of white legs, at a loss!
This was too torturous, too torturous. It would be better to stay in the Hua family. At least the Hua family was proper.
Earlier, Fang Yue had handed the letter that Hua Wuye had given him to the Hua family's second-in-command.
After the letter was handed over, Fang Yue realized that Hua Wuye's distant relative wasn't as simple as a distant relative. At least the Hua family's main branch valued Hua Wuye's branch very much.
After learning that Hua Wuye's family had been almost wiped out, the atmosphere became heavy.
After asking in detail about the details of Hua Wuye's family's destruction and some details, they completely believed Fang Yue.
In fact, they had already believed Fang Yue when they saw that he had Hua Wuye's handwritten letter. The subsequent questioning was just to understand what had happened.
After learning that Fang Yue had put in a lot of effort for this matter and even avenged them, their trust in Fang Yue rose to a new level.
Next, Fang Yue naturally brought up the matter of the *Yuexiang* Grass.
"Since it's for Captain Ye's curse, we won't make things difficult for the guards. Well... no! Our Hua family is willing to sell the *Yuexiang* Grass to the guards at half the market price, only hoping that Captain Ye, after recovering, can hand over something of our Hua family to Hua Wuye."
As he said these words, the Hua family's second-in-command didn't give the item to Fang Yue, because it was on Hua Qiushui, the village chief of Mo Village, and Hua Qiushui hadn't returned to the village yet. So they would only want to give Fang Yue convenience, meaning they wanted Fang Yue to stay in Mo Village for a few more days.
But when Fang Yue would return to the village depended on the procurement progress of the escort team, so he only promised to delay it as much as possible. It just so happened that it coincided with the captain of the guard, Lang Wu's request that Fang Yue stay in Mo Village for some time before the new captain of Mo Village took office. So agreeing to their request didn't have any impact.
"Brother Ye, Grandpa wants to see you."
As Fang Yue was lost in thought, An Dong'er, his newly recognized sworn sister, suddenly spoke.
He then noticed that a person was standing respectfully in front of him, here to take him to see Doctor An.
Putting everything else aside, the An family's attitude toward him was really good.
Following the man out of the main hall and down the corridor, Fang Yue soon arrived in front of Doctor An's lab.
He knocked on the door, and a voice quickly came from inside.
"Come in."
Pushing the door open, before Fang Yue could see the situation inside, he smelled a pungent medicinal odor.
It wasn't the fragrant medicinal scent, but a medicinal stench that smelled like sewage.
"Did you fail?"
Fang Yue couldn't help but cover his nose and ask.
"Well, there's a small problem."
Doctor An gave the An family member behind him a look, and he immediately retreated and closed the door.
Once only Doctor An and Fang Yue were left in the room, Fang Yue immediately pressed, "What exactly went wrong?"
"It's a technical problem on my part. I thought this prescription was too simple... I originally thought that with my skills, I could easily refine the Fei Bai Pill by strictly following the steps on the prescription. But after actually trying it, I realized that this thing is more complicated than I thought. There are many details that I haven't mastered well after practicing a few times..."
Listening to Doctor An's words, Fang Yue's face darkened.
"Damn it, Doctor An, don't mess with me. If you screw this up, I'll have to ask Ni Dongmei to help me refine the pills. How embarrassing would that be, to give her the prescription and still need her help to refine the pills."
"It won't come to that!"
Doctor An's face turned red. "I can do it! I definitely need to explore a brand new prescription. This is an unavoidable situation, but with my years of accumulated experience, I can definitely figure it out quickly and refine the first Fei Bai Pill!"
"That's good, that's good. Doctor An, keep going. Don't let my curse expire before you refine the pill. At that time, hordes of Yangxu Ghouls will besiege the village, a dark and oppressive mass. No one will have a good time."
"Don't worry, I won't let you down. Besides, if such a situation really occurs, I'll suggest that the guards go out and catch a few Yangxu Ghouls for you to kill, to maintain the cursed state for a few days and buy us some time."
Damn it! Are you using me as a tool to extend the buff?
Fang Yue was a little depressed. "In any case, let's refine the Fei Bai Pill first. By the way, since you haven't refined the pill, why did you call me here?"
"Didn't Ye-ye want to learn medical skills?" Doctor An asked strangely.
"Yeah, so?"
"So, of course, you'll stay here and watch me refine medicine. You can learn the theoretical knowledge from my medical notes, but no one can teach you the actual operation. You can only study it yourself."
"After all, you're from Guyue Village. If nothing happens, we'll only meet a few times a year, so I want to teach you more while you're still in Mo Village."
"Don't underestimate the experience of observing actual operations. Within our An family, this kind of treatment requires a huge contribution to the An family, or a junior that I'm very optimistic about, to be given this kind of treatment."
So that's how it is.
Fang Yue immediately understood that Doctor An was giving him special tutoring.
Unfortunately, he was someone who hadn't even entered the door of medicine. Even if he watched Doctor An start a fire under the medicine cauldron, add medicinal ingredients, mix them, experiment, and research, Fang Yue couldn't understand anything.
