He just held on to a faint hope, but he didn't expect Guo Qin to actually say such a thing.
"Although I am not an alchemist, and I don't know the specific medicinal materials needed to refine the Casting Emperor Pill, I do know about several other scarce medicinal materials besides the lotus seeds of the Blue Blood Lotus!"
After a pause, Guo Qin said again: "So Brother Ye, please stop being secretive. Tell me first what kind of medicinal materials you are missing. If I can help you find them, I will do my best to help you find them!"
"
"this……"
Ye Chen was a little embarrassed.
However, in order to find more medicinal materials, he still said truthfully: "To be honest, I really want to refine the Casting Emperor Pill, but until now, I don't know how to refine the Casting Emperor Pill, let alone what specific medicinal materials are needed.
!”
"Uh...this..."
This time it was Guo Qin and Guo Mingyue's turn to be embarrassed.
After talking for a long time, it turns out that Ye Chen doesn't even know how to refine the Emperor's Pill?
Even if all the medicinal materials are found, isn't the chance of refining failure still very high?
"Do you think I'm wasting my time and energy?"
Seeing what the two Guo Qin brothers were thinking, Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry about this. If you can really help me find other medicinal materials for refining the Casting Emperor Pill, please help me!"
"That's...okay!"
Guo Qin nodded and said: "Actually, in addition to the lotus seeds of the Blue Blood Lotus, I also know where to find another rare medicinal material for refining the Casting Emperor Pill. I can even help you find the Casting Emperor Pill, Brother Ye."
The method of refining pills!"
"oh?
Is this true?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.
"I don't think I'm a magnanimous gentleman, but I'm not the kind of person who talks nonsense either!"
Guo Qin pondered for a moment and then said: "I can indeed help you find another medicinal material and the method of refining the Emperor's Pill, but you need to give me some time!"
"How long will that take?"
Ye Chen asked eagerly.
"Sorry, I can't make any guarantees about the next time. I can only try my best to help Brother Ye find it!"
"Then what is the other scarce medicinal ingredient you are talking about?"
Ye Chen was a little impatient.
Guo Qin wandered around for a long time, but apart from giving himself a promise that seemed very attractive, he actually said nothing.
He was really worried that he would be tricked by the other party.
"This rare medicinal material is fairy root!"
Guo Qin didn't beat around the bush anymore and said directly: "Although I don't know the art of refining medicine, the name of the Emperor's Pill has long been known to me. I've heard about which medicinal materials are needed to refine it, and the Fairy Root should be used.
It’s one of them!”
"Fairy roots?"
Ye Chen's expression changed for a moment, and he asked: "Then do you know where this medicinal material can be found?"
Before that, he had also asked Qiu Yijian.
According to Qiu Yijian, fairy root was indeed mentioned among several rare medicinal materials needed to refine the Emperor-casting Pill.
"If you dare to mention it, you will naturally know where it is!"
Guo Qin smiled mysteriously, pointed to the western sky and said: "As far as I know, fairy roots grow deep in the Taal Desert in the western region of the Yong'an Empire!"
"Western Region?"
Ye Chen immediately rolled his eyes, "Is it only available there?"
"good!"
Guo Qin nodded, "Fairy Root, also known as Desert Fairy Vine, can't be found in other areas except the Tar Desert in the Western Region. Even the empire's medicine depot doesn't have it in stock!"
"So, if you want to find the fairy roots, you have to go to the Western Regions?"
Ye Chen was a little depressed.
He had traveled thousands of miles to get to the Imperial Capital from the Southern Territory. His butt wasn't even hot yet, and he had to go to the Western Territory hundreds of thousands of miles away. Isn't this a fool's errand?
The most important point is that whether Guo Qin’s words are true or false remains to be verified.
If the other party deceives me, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"If Brother Ye doesn't believe it, just think it's nonsense!"
Guo Qin shrugged in time.
Ye Chen didn't answer.
Because he is still hesitating.
Although we need to travel hundreds of thousands of miles to go to the Western Regions, as long as we sacrifice the golden-armored lightning eagle, I believe we should be able to arrive in ten and a half months at most.
His only worry was that Guo Qin would take advantage of him.
"Master Ye, my brother did not lie to you. The Taal Desert in the Western Region is indeed the place where fairy roots grow. If you don't believe it, you can go find some ancient books and read them, and you will know the truth!"
Seeing that Ye Chen was still hesitating, Guo Mingyue added another sentence.
"oh?
Ancient books?”
Ye Chen's mind moved and he immediately recalled all the books he had browsed in his mind.
After some searching, the records in an ancient book quickly appeared in his mind.
This ancient book does contain some records about fairy roots.
However, it only mentioned that the place where it grew was indeed the Taal Desert in the western region of the Yong'an Empire. As for its characteristics, uses, etc., there were no detailed records.
"Brother Guo, are you going to the Western Regions too?"
After confirming that Guo Qin was not lying, Ye Chen asked thoughtfully.
On the surface, Guo Qin was really just trying to find medicinal materials for himself.
But with Guo Qin's city, he really couldn't believe that the other party's starting point was really that simple.
Maybe after a long detour, Guo Qin himself had something to do and wanted to go to the Western Regions, so he wanted to take this opportunity to drag himself onto the pirate ship.
After all, the other party had just been chased, and his cultivation level was extremely high. If the other party encountered such an assassination again, his personal safety would at least be more guaranteed with him.
really……
"Uh... To be honest, I do have some matters that require me to go to the Western Regions!"
Guo Qin smiled coquettishly at first, and then added: "Brother Ye, please don't get me wrong. I am not saying this to take advantage of you, but it is just a coincidence. You want to find the fairy root, and I also have something to do.
Going to the Western Regions, let’s go together and have someone to take care of us along the way, right?”
Ye Chen: "..."
When he met such a scheming man, he was truly speechless.
Call Guo Qin despicable, but the other party is indeed not lying to him.
If you say that the other party is honest, then it is clear that he wants to use himself as a talisman.
"Brother Ye, I know that you may still be wary of me, or even hostile, but I really have no ill intentions. If you can trust me, I will tell you all the secrets truthfully when you get to the border of the Western Region!"
After a pause, Guo Qin added: "Once you arrive in the Taal Desert in the Western Region, I will do my best to help you find the fairy root. I can also guarantee that when you come back, you will definitely entrust the refining method of the Casting Emperor Pill with both hands."
Come on, never break your promise!"
With Guo Qin's repeated assurances, Ye Chen weighed it again and again and finally nodded, "Okay, when will we set off?"
"If Brother Ye has nothing else to do, you can set off now!"
