Duanmucheng looked at Qin Yi and said solemnly: "Poling Lingcao is not a good thing. The situation was urgent at that time, and I didn't care much. I only heard you saying that you wanted to save people."
Qin Yi could understand Duanmucheng's mood. He said, "I have already used the Broken Spirit Grass. Master, don't worry, there is nothing wrong."
"That's good."
Hearing this, Duanmucheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have relaxed a lot: "But, how did you save people by breaking the spiritual grass? Please satisfy my curiosity as a teacher."
Duanmucheng's eyes were bright. He was a fanatic about alchemy. If there was something novel, he would not want to miss it.
"This is not a shameful thing." Qin Yi did not hesitate, and immediately told him about using the Poling Grass to remove the medicinal properties of the ancient spirit flower: "All things are interdependent, and this is where my disciple's inspiration lies.
"
After listening to Qin Yi's words, Duanmucheng was stunned on the spot. He looked at Qin Yi with a dull expression and was speechless for a long time.
After a moment, Qin Yi suddenly felt that his eyes had turned fiery. The whole person looked like a miser who saw the treasure, and his whole body exuded an extremely fiery aura.
"Qin Yi, if you don't dislike me, can you accept me, an old guy, as your disciple?"
"Master, what do you mean?"
Qin Yi looked at Duanmucheng and asked slightly surprised.
However, Duanmucheng didn't seem to want to change his mind at all. He looked at Qin Yi sincerely and said: "I suddenly discovered that I, the master, did not seem to be of any help to you. On the contrary, you,
Alchemy has progressed rapidly, and now your insights have completely exceeded the imagination of this old guy like me."
Duanmucheng spoke clearly and clearly, and it was obvious that what he just said was not something he could say when his head was hot.
Seeing this, Qin Yi could only smile helplessly and said: "But, you are my master. How can I turn it around and let you become my master?"
Duanmucheng shook his head firmly and said: "These are just some secular opinions. What I am pursuing is the true alchemy. Since it is the true supreme alchemy, then naturally we can abandon the worldly prejudices."
"What's more, in your martial arts world, isn't there a saying that strength is supreme?"
Duanmucheng ignored Qin Yi's surprised look and still tried to persuade Qin Yi: "In this world, everything is similar. Alchemy also advocates strength. Since your attainments in Alchemy have already
He has surpassed me as a master, so what’s wrong with me becoming a master now?”
I have to say that Qin Yi really didn't expect that Duanmucheng would have such a view.
When I first met Duanmucheng, this old guy was a very stubborn person. Moreover, he could almost be regarded as arrogant. Even an alchemist like Lu Yu was not looked down upon by him, and even
I wanted to refuse even if I wanted to help make alchemy.
After Qin Yi became a disciple, although Duanmucheng's attitude towards him was completely different, it could be seen from his attitude towards other people that he still had not let go of his pride.
Today, I never thought that such a proud person would be willing to put down his body and become a disciple of a man who is hundreds of years younger than himself.
There is no doubt that Duanmu City is now completely impressed by Qin Yi's level of alchemy.
Of course, what made him make up his mind was not just the fact that Qin Yi used the Poling Grass to neutralize the medicinal effect of the Ancient Spirit Flower.
At that time, Qin Yi's remarks on Huangfu Ming's side had already shaken his heart.
"Master, there is one thing I don't understand."
Qin Yi looked at Duanmucheng and asked seriously: "Why are you so persistent in wanting me to accept you as my disciple? Although I know that you want to improve your alchemy level, but there is no need to be so anxious, right?"
Although Duanmucheng's approach was sincere and bold, it also gave Qin Yi the feeling that he would do whatever it took.
Upon hearing this, Duanmucheng immediately lowered his eyes, and his expression became a little gloomy.
After a while, he finally spoke and asked, "Do you really want to hear it?"
Qin Yi nodded. He always felt that Duanmucheng was a person with a story.
But from beginning to end, Duanmucheng kept himself tightly wrapped and had no intention of sharing his affairs.
Qin Yi would be very happy if he could hear something about him now.
"well."
Duanmucheng suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, and then said: "I once had the experience of dual cultivation of Dan and Wu. You should already know that, right?"
Qin Yi nodded. Huangfu Ming mentioned the dual cultivation of Dan and Wu in Duanmu City once. Emperor Yun also mentioned the same thing just now in Emperor Yun's palace.
"This matter starts from three hundred years ago. At that time, Huangfu Ming and I were learning alchemy under the same master. We were both accepted by the master at almost the same time. And the master
There are only two of us disciples, so there will naturally be more comparisons between us. It is for this reason that we also have a certain degree of competition with each other."
Competition between fellow students is normal. Proper competition can generate enough pressure. And this pressure can be transformed into motivation for progress.
After a pause, Duanmucheng continued: "I'm not bragging. At that time, Huangfu Ming was completely inferior to me in terms of Alchemy talent. Whether it was in terms of control of Alchemy knowledge or proficiency in alchemy,
Huangfu Ming was almost completely suppressed by me. At that time, Master also valued me particularly."
Having said this, Duanmucheng couldn't help but have a look of pride on his face. It was as if everything that happened back then was replayed in his mind.
"I was still young at the time, and I would inevitably be a little complacent about this kind of success. Every time I saw Huangfu Ming being scolded by his master, I felt that I was a complete genius. So, at this time, something flashed through my mind
A very arrogant idea.”
Qin Yi asked: "Master, are you ready to start practicing alchemy and martial arts?"
Duanmucheng nodded and said: "That's right! I started practicing martial arts without telling my master and Huangfu Ming. Because I feel that with my talent, I can save a lot of study time compared to Huangfu Ming. And these extra
