But even if the elixir success rate was lower, he, as a master, was a bit "unworthy of his reputation." Gongsun Yan immediately felt a sense of urgency in his heart and decided to seize the time to improve his elixir skills after returning.
Gongsun Yan secretly counted these elixirs. The total number of elixirs refined by the two of them was nearly 5,000. Although there were only a small number of middle-grade elixirs, even if they were sold on the market, they would be enough to
The Fan family turned around.
The two little guys stood there respectfully, looking at "Master" with great anxiety, fearing that Gongsun Yan would show dissatisfaction.
Looking at the two well-behaved disciples, Gongsun Yan felt quite emotional. He originally thought that he had gained the most in the past three years, but the gains of these two little guys were by no means less than him. Not only did their alchemy skills improve greatly, but they also embarked on the journey of cultivating immortals.
road.
He then said to the two of them:
"Yu'er, Ling'er, your alchemy skills have improved very quickly. Some of the elixirs have reached the master's level. I won't be able to teach you if this continues."
"Really?" Fan Ling asked innocently.
"No matter how good our alchemy skills are, it was taught by our master. We will never forget our master." Fan Yu said sensibly.
"Well, let me ask you now, are you willing to become immortals in the future?"
Hearing this, the two little guys were stunned, and Fan Yu immediately asked:
"Master, what is cultivating immortality? Is it fun to make alchemy?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan smiled bitterly in his heart. The two little guys regarded alchemy as a fun thing. The most rare thing in the world is to combine their hobbies with the profession that they rely on for survival. If they can still have extraordinary talents,
, it’s hard even if you don’t want to succeed.
Gongsun Yan said slowly:
"Alchemy is an auxiliary method for cultivating immortality. Let me ask you, you two have practiced the exercises taught by Master. How do you feel?"
"Master, I have a feeling that we are much stronger now and don't dare to jump around anymore," Fan Yu replied.
"Don't you dare to jump around anymore?" Gongsun Yan was a little confused.
"Well, one time Xiaoling was so happy after she succeeded in making alchemy. She clapped her hands and jumped up happily. As a result, her head hit the roof and she was in pain for several days."
Fan Yu explained, while Fan Ling blushed and felt very embarrassed.
Gongsun Yan was secretly amused, he smiled and said:
"This is the result of cultivating immortals. Not only that, you can now walk through walls, ride on the wind, pick leaves and hurt people... and you can also live a long life!"
"Ah! So powerful! Master, then we are willing to become immortals!"
Fan Yu replied and Fan Ling also nodded.
"Okay, Yu'er, Ling'er, come here, Master will enter the 'immortal state' for you!"
After saying that, Gongsun Yan took out two "immortal tablets" from his ring and inserted them into their foreheads. From then on, Gongsun Yan's two apprentices officially embarked on the path to immortality.
Gongsun Yan then took out two more rings from his ring and taught them how to use them. The two little guys were overjoyed to see that these things could "do tricks" and could store many things instantly.
Later, Gongsun Yan gave each of them a black card and asked them to shed their blood to identify the owner, and told them not to leave this thing.
He also gave them a copy of the jade slips engraved with various spells and asked them to stop refining elixirs and study spells for a while. He would check the results after a while.
For the sake of safety, Gongsun Yan did not let the two little guys continue to practice his skills. He planned to let Yi Rui complete the subsequent teaching to them.
After that, Gongsun Yan returned along the secret path.
At this time, everyone in the Fan family was waiting for him in the living room. When they saw Gongsun Yan coming back, they immediately went to the dining room to eat.
Walking into the dining room, Gongsun Yan found that the originally magnificently decorated hall was now very "simple" and the tableware was ordinary tableware. Only the servants looked familiar. This time Fan Qishan did not stir up any troops. Only he and Fan Li and his son were present.
During the banquet, Gongsun Yan asked about the matter of "Hua Shengyuan" being taken away. Fan Li was hesitant at first. Seeing this, Gongsun Yan asked:
"Mr. Fan, we are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it. If it can be resolved, it will be resolved as soon as possible."
"Alas! Let me tell you, sir, do you still remember that you introduced us to the medicinal materials business in Longcheng?" Fan Qishan said.
"Remember, of course I remember, what? Is there something wrong with them?" Hearing Fan Qishan's words, Gongsun Yan was shocked.
"No, shopkeeper Zhong of Renhe Pharmacy is a good person, fair and reputable, but the bad thing is their location. Longxi Gorge is located in the south. After the capital was captured, the eldest prince Yongxiang and others gained power. He
We have always been close to Ding Haodong, the owner of Wanqitang. Later, they forced us to transfer the chamber of commerce to Wanqitang on the grounds that we were suspected of "enemies" in doing business with the Southern Dynasties. They said it was a transfer, but
I only gave you one thousand taels of silver, which is no different from robbing me!"
Fan Qishan finished the story of how the Chamber of Commerce was taken away in one breath.
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan was furious. "There is no excuse to accuse Yongxiang." Yongxiang and the others could actually fabricate such nonsensical charges. He couldn't help but want to depose Yongxiang and planned to bring down the puppet regime of the Northern Dynasty.
extinguished.
Originally, Gongsun Yan only planned to drive out the troops of the Yangyuan Kingdom. As for the dispute between the brothers Yongxiang and Yongze, he did not want to get involved.
But now it seems that things are not that simple. Not to mention whether Yongxiang can control the situation after driving away the troops of the Rampant Kingdom. His status as the prince-consort of the Rampant Kingdom is enough for the Rampant Kingdom to continue to covet the Northern Dynasty.
territory.
What's more, Yongxiang is a narrow-minded person who puts personal interests above national interests. If he continues to be in power, it will definitely be a scene of nepotism and people's livelihood will be miserable.
There is also the matter of the Geshan Sect. After arriving in the capital, Gongsun Yan never heard from them, and no one from the Geshan Sect was seen on the street. This made Gongsun Yan very puzzled.
However, Gongsun Yan always believed that the Geshan Sect was not that simple. Since the Qingyue Sect could intervene in the affairs of the Southern Dynasty, the Geshan Sect, which was said to be stronger, would never easily give up the opportunity to control the Northern Dynasty. Maybe they had a bigger plot.
After eating and drinking, Fan Qishan asked Fan Li to arrange for Gongsun Yan and Xing Kui to live in the ancestral temple of the villa. No one was allowed to disturb them without permission.
After the two moved into the Fan Family Ancestral Temple, Gongsun Yan immediately told Xing Kui and Pan his plan. On the one hand, he carried out a "beheading" operation against the Yangyuan Army. All warriors above the level of a hundred leaders were included in the beheading.
.
On the other hand, we must get in touch with the Southern Dynasties as soon as possible so that they can pay attention to the movements of the Northern Dynasties at any time and wait for opportunities to send troops to the Northern Dynasties.
The two men immediately began to separate. Gongsun Yan immediately returned to the Southern Dynasty, while Xing Kui was responsible for carrying out the beheading operation.
