Although Dan Lao has a weird temper, he is also a very protective person.
Anyone who is disliked by him will have the impression of him as a grumpy, moody old man. But people who are pleasing to him, such as Li Ye now, are completely different.
Even the law enforcement elders who now hold great power in Bishuixuan dare to offend him. Although part of the reason is that Elder Dan is not afraid of the opponent at all, and the other reason is to protect his shortcomings!
After the law enforcement elder walked away, Mr. Dan once again focused his attention on the prescription in front of him.
"I have tried no less than twenty or thirty times these days, but every time I failed at the last moment. Little guy, you have a strange fire in your body. I am going to refine it again, but this time, you will be able to control the flame!
"
Using strange fire to make elixirs will undoubtedly improve the success rate and the quality of the elixir. This is also the biggest reason why countless alchemists pursue strange fires.
But Li Ye didn't think so. After hearing this, he shook his head repeatedly.
"What? Little guy, I won't treat you badly. If you succeed, I owe you a favor! At the same time, if you have any requests this time, you can make them! Even if you don't succeed, my previous promises will remain unchanged. Any reasonable request
, I can consider it."
Even a powerful person in the Venerable Realm will not ignore the kindness of an Alchemy King! After all, when you reach the Alchemy King's realm, your network of contacts is wider than ordinary people imagine.
Being able to obtain the favor of an Alchemy King is even more valuable than obtaining a Saint-level elixir.
"Senior Dan misunderstood. The junior did not cherish his own strange fire. It was just that when the junior looked at Dan Fang just now, he couldn't help but wonder, what was the reason for the failure?"
"Oh? Do you have any ideas?" Elder Dan originally thought that Li Ye was unwilling to let go of his own strange fire, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart. However, when he heard what Li Ye said, his expression suddenly became a little excited.
"I have a little idea, but of course it's just my humble opinion."
"tell me the story!"
If it is an ordinary alchemist, let alone the Alchemy King, even the alchemy masters mostly have a hint of arrogance and prejudice. Unless they are more advanced alchemists than themselves, if an unknown junior like Li Ye is in front of him, he will still
If you make irresponsible remarks, you will definitely become furious.
But Mr. Dan is different. Although this old man has a weird temper, his personality is not the kind of person who is overly arrogant because of his status as the King of Alchemy. Especially after Li Ye’s previous exchanges, it can be seen that Li Ye has unique skills in alchemy.
The insights, many of which he had never heard of before, suddenly became enlightened and enlightened! Many questions that had been entangled for many years were also solved one by one.
This is why he values Li Ye so much and even communicates on an equal footing.
"That's what I think. Senior Dan may have gone into a misunderstanding!"
"Oh? What's the misunderstanding?"
Li Ye thought carefully about his words, hoping not to embarrass the old man in front of him, but he was overly concerned, because Elder Dan was now like a curious baby, with radiant eyes. Where could he have the majesty of a Dan King?
"It's like this. This elixir recipe should be very old. Judging from the degree of damage, it can be seen. There are two elixirs in the missing part of the elixir recipe."
"Of course I know, so I will try to use some elixirs with similar medicinal properties instead."
"No, no, no, Senior Dan has misunderstood what I mean. What I want to say is that perhaps Senior Dan's failure all along is due to this root knot!"
After finishing speaking in one breath, Li Ye was also a little worried. For a proud alchemist, his conclusion was undoubtedly questioning the opponent's level in person! Anyone else would be furious! Let alone an alchemist.
king!
Sure enough, Elder Dan's expression changed slightly. No matter how open-minded he was, he still felt a little embarrassed when a junior hinted that he was on the wrong track from the very beginning.
But after all, he has a broader mind than ordinary alchemists, and because of the surprises Li Ye gave him from time to time, he suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "Oh? Go on."
Taking a deep breath, Li Ye knew that if he could restore the elixir this time, or even refine the elixir, he would be at least 90% successful this time! It can almost be said that there is no need to worry.
Of course, the premise is that he succeeds!
"Senior Dan's starting point is good. In many elixir prescriptions, some elixirs can be replaced by ones with similar medicinal properties. This does not make much difference to the overall situation. But these two elixirs are crucial.
Where’s the main medicine?”
In one sentence, Elder Alchemy's expression changed. He was not an idiot. He could become the King of Alchemy. He knew better than anyone else that, forgetting the other auxiliary elixirs in the alchemy, if it was the main medicine, there was no possibility of substitution.
!
"You mean, these two medicines that cannot be seen clearly are unique and irreplaceable in this prescription?"
"Exactly! Of course, this is a junior's guess. Whether this is the case, I am not entirely sure."
Don't say too much, otherwise if you make a fool of yourself, Li Ye will not be able to get over it.
Silence, Emir fell into silence.
He spent at least half his life on alchemy, studying alchemy and various elixir recipes. He admitted that Li Ye's guess was not unreasonable, but if it was true, it was not what he expected to see!
If it is his previous guess, even if it fails again and again, there will always be a day of success. As long as you have patience and try some elixirs in the world, of course this process not only takes time, but also consumes huge amounts of wealth. After all, there are many elixirs in the world.
Medicine is extremely precious, and even has a price but no market.
Of course, as an alchemist who lives for alchemy, he will never give up as long as possible.
But if Li Ye is right, these two elixirs are irreplaceable, which means that it will be almost impossible to restore this ancient elixir.
With a sigh, Mr. Dan revealed a trace of exhaustion on his face, "Well, maybe I am too persistent. I was lucky enough to get this ancient elixir recipe, and now I have seen with my own eyes the 12th-ranked Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire on the Strange Fire List.
This is my luck. If you force yourself too much, you will fall into the path of inner demons."
There are many people who understand this truth, but not many can truly think it through.
If it was in his previous life, Li Ye would definitely not believe in destiny or the way of heaven, but here, everything is different from what he knew. Whether there are really gods, demons and the way of heaven, he is not sure.
Perhaps because of his understanding, Mr. Dan's face regained its luster, and it was clear that he had overcome this battle with his inner demons.
