After a while, the silhouette of the white crane appeared at the entrance of the cave again.
It can be seen that he seems to be in a much better mood now than before, and he patted his hands gently, looking like he was done.
Looking at Qin Yi and the others who were looking at each other, Bai He smiled awkwardly. Apparently, he was also aware of his gaffe in front of everyone.
"Young friends, please don't misunderstand. My communication with brother Duanmu has always been like this. It will be fine if you all get used to it."
Bai He used a hearty laugh to cover up the embarrassment on his face. Then he quickly changed the subject: "Okay, Brother Duanmu has agreed to see you. Come in with me."
"Old thief Bai He, when did I promise to see them?"
Another loud shout came from inside the cave. From his voice, it seemed that he could hear his deep resentment towards Bai He.
Of course, his rebuttal was in vain in front of Bai He. Soon, Qin Yi and others appeared in the cave in Duanmu City.
Inside the cave, a formation was obviously set up. Just by taking a step away, several people could feel a strong medicinal fragrance coming to their nostrils.
This is a rich, but not objectionable taste. Although it is a bit mixed, it does not affect the fragrance of the medicine at all.
As soon as he entered the cave, Lu Yu began to look around anxiously, trying to find Duanmucheng.
Soon, he saw a white-haired old man squatting on the ground in front of a huge alchemy cauldron next to the cave, with his hands covering his stomach.
The old man was wearing a white robe, but his white robe seemed to have been worn for hundreds of years. Although it was not damaged, it was completely dirty.
A perfectly white robe suddenly turned coal black. Perhaps it was covered by the scent of medicine, but Qin Yi and the others did not smell the stench.
Looking up along the clothes, Qin Yi saw a large white "hair ball". On the surface of the hair ball, there were still several dried elixir rhizomes hanging.
Looking carefully, Qin Yi finally saw Duanmucheng's face clearly.
This is a thin face. Although the facial features are not delicate, they are relatively regular. Although Duanmucheng calls himself an old man, there is no wrinkle on his face. You can even see his face.
above, filled with red light.
Those big eyes were like two lanterns, emitting bright light. But under his eyes, there were thick bags under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for several days.
I have to say that Senior Duanmucheng looks quite energetic. If he could modify his appearance a little, he would be much younger than Senior Bai He next to him.
The only drawback is that there is a huge bruise on the left half of his cheek, which feels a bit funny.
"What are you looking at?"
Suddenly, Duanmucheng's big eyes stared so hard that they almost rolled out of his head. Then, he stood up directly, but his hands still refused to leave his abdomen.
There is no doubt that these are the two "greetings" that Senior Bai He came in just now and brought him. One was on his face, and the other was on his belly.
Then, he waved his hand vigorously and said loudly: "The elixirs are all on the stone platform on the left, with labels on them. If you find what you want, get out of here!"
Qin Yi and others involuntarily turned their eyes to the left. There, there was indeed a huge stone platform filled with various bottles. Sure enough, there were labels on the bottles.
Seeing these bottles, even Qin Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised. Just a cursory glance, he found that there were at least tens of thousands of elixirs on them. Moreover, the words on the labels on each bottle
They are all different, that is to say, these are ten thousand completely different kinds of elixirs.
There is no doubt that the Duanmu City in front of him is definitely a genuine alchemy madman.
Even if we work tirelessly to refine these ten thousand kinds of elixirs, I'm afraid it will take several years to refine them.
If you add in the rest time and failure rate, the time will probably be even longer.
Moreover, judging from the appearance of those bottles, they do not look particularly old. In other words, these elixirs were all refined in recent years.
Qin Yi seemed to understand why Senior Duanmucheng wanted to move his residence to a 500-meter-high mountain peak.
According to his character, I'm afraid there will be nothing else in his life except alchemy.
However, he didn't understand why a reclusive person like him would know the hoarse old man from Qianlong Terrace in Lingfeng City?
I have to say that this weird senior Duanmu is really confusing to people.
Even a senior elixir master like Lu Yu couldn't help but feel dizzy when he saw this dazzling variety of elixirs.
However, the purpose of his coming was not to ask for pills. Although Senior Duanmu seemed a little difficult to get along with, he still took a step forward. After pondering for a long time, he finally said: "Senior, in fact, we
…”
"Guozhong, you lazy guy, where have you been? Get me the Millennium Black Ice Ginseng quickly! If it's too late, I'll skin you!"
Duanmucheng's loud voice resounded throughout the cave, making people's eardrums hurt. His roar interrupted everything Lu Yu wanted to say, and the emotions that had finally been brewing disappeared in an instant.
The sound of Duanmu City could reach the point where it could linger around for three days without dissipating. The echo in the cave lasted for almost a quarter of an hour before gradually disappearing.
Soon, a tall young man with a Chinese character face wearing a plain robe emerged from a corner of the cave, dragging a small wooden box.
Seeing his face full of fatigue and despair, everyone couldn't help but sympathize with him.
Obviously, the long hours of alchemy and a life without rest have completely drained this guy named Guozhong.
"Master, your Millennium Black Ice Ginseng."
Although the young man named Guozhong was tired, he did not dare to show any signs of neglect and carefully delivered the wooden box to Duanmucheng.
"What does it look like to be lazy?"
After taking away the wooden box, Duanmucheng did not give up. Pointing at the head of the young man named Guozhong, he spat and said: "You can't bear this little bit of suffering, but you still want me to ask you to make elixirs? I'll give you half of it."
It’s time to rest. If you don’t appear in front of me in half an hour, you’ll have to jump off this 500-meter cliff!”
Guozhong nodded numbly, without saying a word, turned around and left the scene like a zombie.
"Brother Duanmu, have you forgotten something?"
Bai He had a strange look in his eyes. He glanced at Lu Yu who was standing aside in a dilemma. He immediately walked to the edge of Duanmu City and patted him on the shoulder with a "kind" smile on his face.
