He had heard rumors that Zhou Yuan was full of evil deeds, and he had just seen it today.
After a pause, Ivan flicked his fly whisk.
"We have distinguished guests visiting our Xingyue Tower today. If you leave now, I won't hold you accountable. If you don't listen to your advice, I will throw you out."
Ivan behaved like a master who didn't care about his juniors.
"Did you hear that? Get out of here." Lin Cong said arrogantly.
Zhou Yuan's eyes swept over everyone, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I will demolish your Xingyue Tower sooner or later."
After that, he turned around and left.
Hearing this, Lin Cong immediately scolded: "You are so presumptuous, do you know what you are talking about?"
The businessmen who were watching around him were all speechless.
"This kid is so arrogant. He dares to say such things in front of Master Ivan. Don't you want to live?"
"The martial arts seal was abolished, and once he fell to the altar, he probably suffered a mental shock."
"Then you can't say such things in front of Master Ivan."
Everyone discussed for a while.
You dare to threaten to demolish the Xingyue Tower, are you kidding me?
In response, Zhou Yuan turned around and mocked again: "What a bullshit master. He can't even cure my aunt. He's just a deceitful person who steals his reputation."
Master Ivan is an eighth-grade alchemist and is regarded as an expert by others.
But in Zhou Yuan's eyes, it was nothing.
Hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes.
How dare Zhou Yuan insult Master Ivan in person?
Ivan was also stunned. He had always been respected and admired, and he had not been belittled in many years.
Now a junior dared to speak to him like this.
For a moment, Ivan became ashamed and angry, and immediately shouted: "Someone, stop him."
In an instant, another group of guards rushed out and directly blocked Zhou Yuan's way.
"Master Yi, did I say something wrong?"
Zhou Yuan turned to look at Ivan, but he was extremely calm.
Ivan was furious, "Ignorant junior, arrogant, I have to teach you a lesson today."
He was highly respected in Tianluo City, but now he was mercilessly ridiculed by a young boy.
How could he endure this?
Just when Ivan was about to take action, a palm was placed on his shoulder.
Ivan was surprised, it was Nie Chong, the patrolling elder.
"Elder." Ivan saluted quickly.
Everyone around him bent down, only Zhou Yuan stood upright.
Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed, and it seemed that this was the distinguished guest that Ivan just mentioned.
Nie Chong's face was expressionless, and he sneered indifferently, "You are so young, but your tone is not small. You still want to demolish my Xingyue Building?"
"Who are you?" Zhou Yuan looked at the man.
"I really don't have the eyesight to see. This is the patrolling elder of the main building of Xingyue Building." Ivan said.
"Oh, it turns out he's a useless alchemist." Zhou Yuan didn't take it seriously.
"Bold."
Ivan felt like his lungs were about to explode.
Even he had to be careful with this Nie Chong, for fear of offending him.
How dare this Zhou Yuan dare to be disrespectful in front of the elders?
However, Nie Chong showed a very interested expression and asked: "Trash Alchemist, are you talking about me?"
"If the pill fire backfires, isn't it just trash?"
Zhou Yuan said.
"Huangkou kid, Elder Nie is a seventh-grade alchemist. The elixirs he makes can help people live longer. You are nothing..."
Snapped!
Before Ivan finished speaking, a palm fell directly on his face.
The voice was so clear that it shocked everyone present.
"Elder, why is this?" Ivan was slapped directly, and his white beard kept twitching.
He looked at Nie Chong, not even expecting that Nie Chong would do anything to him.
Everyone around was dumbfounded.
Why did Elder Nie Chong suddenly attack Master Ivan?
Master Ivan is old and has a high reputation in Tianluo City. At this moment, he was beaten in public, and his old face suddenly turned red from holding back.
Nie Chong glared at Ivan, "You really have no vision, how can you treat this master like this?"
Ga?
Suddenly the whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone was shocked and felt that they heard wrongly.
This elder who came from the imperial capital actually called Zhou Yuan master?
What a joke.
What is Nie Chong’s identity, and what is Zhou Yuan’s identity?
Just when everyone was confused, Nie Chong changed his previous indifference, raised his hands and said with a smile: "Nie Chong, the elder of the main building of the Imperial City, I wonder which family you are the son of?"
Zhou Yuan said calmly: "Zhou family of Tianluo City, Zhou Yuan."
"I see, then, little friend, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Zhou Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, but I have to solve the matter at hand."
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Cong and Xiao Qingqing standing aside.
The main culprits for everything that just happened were these two people.
Nie Chong also looked at the two of them and understood immediately.
Zhou Yuan's meaning was very clear, that is, he must be given an explanation for what happened just now.
At this moment, Lin Cong and Xiao Qingqing were dumbfounded.
They were frozen on the spot, at a loss.
Snapped!
Lin Cong received a hard slap on the back of his head.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly." Ivan instantly turned against Nie Chong.
What a joke, Lin Cong, the disciple, would rather not have it than he dares to offend Elder Nie Chong.
Although I don’t know why Nie Chong defended Zhou Yuan, he, Yifan, is also an old fox who has experienced all kinds of things and will not lose the big for the small.
Therefore, in this matter, he only looked at the essence and did not ask about right or wrong.
Lin Cong was slapped unexpectedly and almost staggered.
Not daring to question his master, he immediately told the reason: "Yes... Mr. Zhou came to buy medicine. Xiao Qingqing didn't want to see him, so I wanted to drive him away..."
The truth comes out.
Ivan was so angry that his beard trembled, and he slapped him again.
Nie Chong also said at this time: "Ivan, by acting like this as a disciple, you are ruining the reputation of our Xingyue Tower."
When Ivan heard this, he was suddenly frightened.
On the surface, Nie Chong was talking about his apprentice, but in fact, he was blaming him.
If he doesn't behave well at this time, he may even lose his job.
"Hmph, our Xingyue Tower has strict rules, but you knowingly break them. From today on, you are no longer my Ivan's apprentice. You can leave."
Ivan flicked his fly whisk, very decisively.
Hearing this, Lin Cong was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Because he is Master Ivan's apprentice, Lin Cong is respected by everyone and no one dares to offend him.
Now that he has lost this backer, he will be nothing in the future.
"Master, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. It was all because of this bitch's bad intentions." Lin Cong looked pale and kowtowed repeatedly to admit his mistake.
At the same time, he pointed the finger at Xiao Qingqing.
Xiao Qingqing's heart suddenly started to beat wildly, and she quickly said: "Master Lin, please stop throwing dirty water on me. I just expressed my dissatisfaction with Zhou Yuan. It was you who decided to drive him away."
"Bah, if it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this?"
Lin Cong and Xiao Qingqing almost started fighting.
However, no one was present to help.
"Mr. Zhou, what should we do with this woman?" Ivan looked at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan's voice was cold, "Throw it out."
These three simple words immediately made Xiao Qingqing's expression extremely wonderful.
Originally, Xiao Qingqing wanted to use Lin Cong's help to throw Zhou Yuan out and make Zhou Yuan lose face.
But she didn't expect that the ending at this moment would be her own consequences.
Xiao Qingqing said quickly: "Master Yi, I am the niece of Xiao Batian, the head of the Xiao family."
"Hmph, what nonsense? Xiao Batian, come here, throw these two people out. They will not be allowed to come to my Xingyue Tower again." Ivan flicked the fly whisk, showing no mercy.
He is just a Xiao family, but he, Xingyue Tower, still doesn't take him seriously.
What's more, with Nie Chong's identity, it would be easy to destroy ten Xiao families.
Soon, several big men came forward and lifted the two of them up.
The next moment, the two of them were thrown heavily out of the Xingyue Tower.
Xiao Qingqing's gray-headed and embarrassed appearance immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors.
It can be said that she stole the chicken but lost the rice this time, and made herself lose face.
…
In the private room.
"I'd like to ask, little friend, how did you tell that I was poisoned by the pill fire?" Nie Chong asked Zhou Yuan politely.
Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed at his forehead, where there was a purple mark.
Nie Chong was startled and subconsciously reached out to touch it.
The purple mark on his forehead is not a birthmark or trauma, nor is it a martial arts seal.
It is the traces left by the backfire of the elixir fire.
Most people cannot see this situation.
Zhou Yuan paused and said: "My cultivation level is not high enough and my physical fitness is not high enough. If I try to condense the Dan Fire of a higher level, I will definitely be counterattacked."
When he was learning how to condense elixir fire in Jiuji Pagoda, he consulted many classics.
The reason why alchemists have different grades...
This is because the elixir fire in the body is divided into different levels.
Different levels have different intensity of elixir fire.
In order for an alchemist to withstand the elixir fire in his body, his physical fitness must first pass.
The higher the cultivation level and the higher the state of mind, the easier it is to control the elixir fire.
On the contrary, if you are not physically fit enough and forcefully condense stronger elixir fire, you will be backlashed at worst, or incinerated on the spot at worst.
Therefore, when Nie Chong appeared just now, Zhou Yuan saw it.
And after hearing what Zhou Yuan said was so reasonable, Nie Chong's attitude became even more humble.
The phenomenon of alchemy fire backlash rarely occurs, and is mostly caused by alchemists chasing for speed.
Moreover, very few people know about this symptom, and few know how to treat it.
Nie Chong had many connections in the imperial capital, but he had no choice.
"My dissatisfied little friend, in order to refine a special elixir before I went down, I had to condense a higher level of elixir fire. However, due to insufficient cultivation, my body was unable to resist and suffered a backlash."
Nie Chong sighed and said.
Because the elixir fire backfired, he knew that he was not far from death.
Therefore, when Ivan tried to persuade him to stay, he decisively rejected it.
Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "The pill fire is backlashing, and I have a way to solve it."
"What method?" Nie Chong immediately became interested after hearing this, "If I can cure me, little friend, I will work as a cow and a horse from now on."
"Let me think about it." Zhou Yuan fell into deep thought again.
In fact, at this time, his conscious clone was going through the information with Huamei, looking for a solution.
After a moment, he said: "Yin Huo Dan can help you suppress it for the time being."
"Yin Fire Pill?" Nie Chong was stunned. Even though he was a distinguished seventh-level alchemist, he had never heard of such a pill.
Zhou Yuan picked up the pen and ink and directly wrote down the recipe for Yin Huo Dan.
Nie Chong glanced at Yin Huo Dan's prescription and immediately showed a look of surprise.
As an alchemist, you must first know how to recognize the alchemy formula.
As a seventh-level alchemist, he was not flashy, and he could guess the efficacy of Yin Huo Dan through the prescription at a glance.
The effect is there, which means Zhou Yuan really has a way.
Zhou Yuan didn't say much, and then took out his list of materials.
Nie Chong took one look and immediately laughed and said: "Don't worry, little friend, Xingyue Tower will provide these materials you need free of charge."
