Chapter 41 – Old ginger is spicier

"Zihao, go fetch a basin of water!"

"Yes, Master!"

Soon, Li Zihao came in carrying a basin of water.

The old man drew a stream of water from the basin and poured it directly over Li Zhengtong.

As the water flowed down, it turned black, and the areas it washed over returned to their original skin color.

It turned out the color was just dyed on.

"Problem solved!" The old man clapped his hands and said to the master of the Hundred Medicine Hall, "When you encounter problems, use your brain. Don't always call for me!"

"Yes, Master!" the master of the Hundred Medicine Hall replied with his head lowered.

The old man transformed into a wisp of smoke and slowly dissipated.

The master of the Hundred Medicine Hall still kept his head down, feeling utterly embarrassed today.

He, the dignified master of the Hundred Medicine Hall, just a step away from the Tribulation Crossing stage, was scolded by his master in front of so many juniors.

What a loss of face!

"Master, are you alright?" Li Zihao cautiously asked.

The master of the Hundred Medicine Hall, finding an outlet for his frustration, scolded Li Zihao:

"Mistaking the Spirit Beast Transformation Pill for a Strength Pill, how can you still call yourself an alchemist?"

"Hurry back to the sect and read the ancient texts in the Scripture Pavilion. You are not allowed to leave the sect until you've finished reading thirty books!"

Li Zihao: "...Yes, Master!"

‘Phew~ I feel much better now. It seems having disciples is quite useful!’

When the master of the Hundred Medicine Hall mentioned alchemy, Qin Yu suddenly remembered he still hadn't figured out why the Strength Pill he refined had such an effect.

Qin Yu hurriedly said, "Senior, there's still something I don't understand!"

"Ask away!"

The master of the Hundred Medicine Hall, with his hands behind his back, needed these juniors to ask more questions to restore his dignified image.

Qin Yu was delighted; the last time someone was this enthusiastic was 'Know-it-all'!

"I don't know which step went wrong during my alchemy process that caused the Strength Pill to have this strange effect."

The master of the Hundred Medicine Hall's expression froze: "Ah, what did you say?"

Qin Yu repeated the question.

The master of the Hundred Medicine Hall said, "I can't hear you. It seems the incense connection is a bit unstable. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Li Zihao immediately bowed and said, "Farewell, Master. Please rest well!"

"Rest? Only those useless to the Cultivation World rest. With diseases rampant and patients' health in jeopardy, it's a crucial time for a medical giant like me to shoulder responsibilities. How can I rest?"

Suddenly, the room fell silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the master of the Hundred Medicine Hall.

"Heh, Master, I knew you could hear!" Li Zihao thought to himself: ‘Try venting your anger on me again!’

‘Ah, this damn catchphrase!’ The master of the Hundred Medicine Hall awkwardly smiled.

"The connection seems stable again. I really couldn't hear you just now."

"Then, Senior, I..."

As Qin Yu began to speak, the master of the Hundred Medicine Hall interrupted, "What, another batch of injured has been brought in?"

"I'm heading over right away!"

Seeing the master of the Hundred Medicine Hall's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was acting.

"Zihao, hurry back. The demonic sect seems to be active again, and sect disciples are getting injured daily. Our physicians are insufficient."

"I'll go treat the injured first. Farewell, juniors!"

Qin Yu and the others bowed, "Thank you, Senior, for your help!"

The master of the Hundred Medicine Hall's figure dissipated.

Seeing Li Zihao put the incense and incense burner into his Qiankun bag, Qin Yu tentatively asked, "Brother Li, judging by the Senior's demeanor, are you heading back to the sect immediately?"

Li Zihao laughed, "Master was just putting on a show."

Qin Yu: "What do you mean?"

Li Zihao explained, "The strongest among those sect disciples is only at the Golden Elixir stage. No matter how many of them there are, Master could heal them with a single domain. There's no way there would be a shortage of physicians."

"The reason Master said that is probably because he didn't know how to answer Brother Qin's question."

"Honestly, I didn't notice anything unusual during Brother Qin's alchemy process. I think Master felt the same."

"But Master cares about his reputation, so he had to find an excuse to leave."

"Achoo~"

Far away, the master of the Hundred Medicine Hall sneezed.

"One sneeze means someone's thinking of you, two means they're cursing you!"

"Hiss~ Who's thinking of me?"

"Achoo~"

"Hiss~ Two people at once!"

...

Having received an answer, Qin Yu sighed.

‘My alchemy skills are truly bizarre!’

"Brother Qin, take this sound-transmitting jade!" Li Zihao handed a jade pendant to Qin Yu.

"If you invent any new elixirs, don't forget to tell me."

"If you encounter trouble, you can also contact me through this jade. Our Hundred Medicine Hall may not excel in other areas, but we're good at rallying people."

Qin Yu accepted the jade pendant, "Brother Li, are you heading back to the sect?"

Li Zihao nodded, "It's best to heed Master's words. This incident made me realize how little I know about ancient times, so I need to catch up."

"Moreover, Master just used the Rejuvenation Domain, so no one in this city is sick anymore."

"Then I wish Brother Li a safe journey, and thank you for everything!"

"It's nothing!" Li Zihao waved his hand, "Brother Qin, I'll be off then. Don't forget to inform me about any new elixir effects."

"By the way, the demonic sect has been quite active lately. Be careful when you go out, Brother Qin."

Qin Yu nodded.

He definitely wouldn't leave the Xuantian Sect without reason.

Watching Li Zihao leave, Qin Yu said, "Let's go too. We can still catch the sect's spirit boat!"

Suddenly, a gorilla appeared in front of Qin Yu.

Qin Yu slapped his forehead, "Oh, sorry, Xiao Zhi, I forgot about you!"

Xiao Zhi plopped down on the ground, "True disappointment isn't about making a scene!"

"Here, take this white elixir!"

Xiao Zhi perked up immediately.

This elixir was refined just now while making the antidote for Li Zhengtong.

Qin Yu remembered he still had half a white elixir and quickly took it out to give to the envious Li Zhengtong.

Li Zhengtong happily accepted the elixir and popped it into his mouth.

"Yuck, yuck! Yu Ge, is this elixir expired? It doesn't taste the same as before?"

"Indeed, once restored to its original form, the taste isn't as appealing."

The single-hole pill furnace was borrowed by Li Zihao from the pharmacy, and he didn't take it with him.

There were still plenty of herbs in the room, so Qin Yu refined an antidote for Xiao Zhi.

"Yu Ge, I want to take the white elixir first, then the antidote!"

"Whatever you like!"

Qin Yu handed both elixirs to Xiao Zhi.

Li Zhengtong leaned over to Qin Yu, "Yu Ge, I feel some changes in myself!"

"Could there be side effects?" Qin Yu asked, "What kind of changes?"

"I feel like I'm more attuned to the spiritual energy around me!"

"Attuned to spiritual energy?" Qin Yu's eyes lit up, ‘Could it be?’

Qin Yu used his talent detection on Li Zhengtong.
