"?"
Zhan Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to ask further questions, he heard Lu Lan continue:
"But I couldn't quite trust them, so I declined... Luckily, Senior Yuan was understanding and let me go."
When you hide a lie inside the truth, it becomes difficult to tell whether it is the truth or a lie.
Even Zhan Xuanyuan, who was always suspicious by nature, thought for a moment and nodded:
"Indeed, this is the best approach... After all, the Yuan family is one of the five great families, and anyone who can sit in that position is definitely not a simple character."
Zhan Xuanyuan was indeed a little afraid that Lu Lan and the Yuan family would establish cooperation.
Because he knew that if one day in the future both he and Lu Lan became powerful figures in Cangyuan Continent, then Lu Lan would definitely become his enemy without any hesitation.
After all, he had threatened Lu Lan before.
This is what Lu Lan can't tolerate the most.
The reason why he hasn't turned against him yet is because he still can't figure out Zhan Xuanyuan's true strength.
Unless he risks his own life to save Lu Lan when Lu Lan is in life-or-death crisis, it will be possible for them to resolve their past grudges.
However, Zhan Xuanyuan, whose personality has changed drastically, would never do this no matter what.
Even if he wanted to, the "senior" in his soul sea would never allow it.
Therefore, he did not want Lu Lan to cooperate with the Yuan family before he grew to a level that was unmatched by the entire Cangyuan Continent.
Hearing Zhan Xuanyuan's words, Lu Lan couldn't help but sneer secretly. Without saying anything more, he went into his room and started to prepare to make medicine.
He wanted to cultivate to the fourth level of the [Dragon Elephant Subduing the World Sutra] as soon as possible.
In this way, he can enhance his physical fitness and become stronger.
By then, even if he faced Yuan Wang again, he would be able to defeat him easily.
The pill refining this time was a bit troublesome, but fortunately Lu Lan had already memorized the pill refining process in his mind, so all it took was time.
After spending a day and a night.
Finally, a muffled sound was heard from Lu Lan's room.
In another room, Zhan Xuanyuan, who was feeding Cang Nian Poison Gu something, was stunned for a moment, then put the Cang Nian Poison Gu away.
"Don't you want to go and see what kind of elixir he has made?"
Xuan Gu's voice sounded in his soul sea.
"No need. Every time he refines the elixir, he won't let me watch."
Zhan Xuanyuan said indifferently:
"Over time, I became too lazy to watch what kind of elixirs he made... Besides, I'm not an alchemist now, I'm a Gu Master. Why would I care about that crappy pill?"
"Haha, you're able to separate your present self from your past self so neatly. It seems you're quite bothered by the Medicine God Sect's attitude towards you back then."
After all, Xuan Gu had been in his soul sea for some time, and the two of them now had a cooperative relationship that might be even deeper than Lu Lan's, so Xuan Gu also knew some of his memories and some of the things that Zhan Xuanyuan had experienced back then.
"Of course... They clearly said there could only be one genius, me... but they've cultivated another genius who's even stronger than me. Isn't this cheating?"
When Zhan Xuanyuan recalled what he had experienced before, his expression turned cold:
"They promised me that the Medicine God Sect would wholeheartedly train only me... but then they turned around and gave up on me..."
“I can’t understand why this is happening!”
Xuan Gu was silent for a while, then asked:
"Where's your master? Does he have the same attitude as the Medicine God Sect?"
"That's not the case... If I hadn't seen my master asking for an explanation for me with my own eyes, I might have thought that he had given up on me."
Zhan Xuanyuan calmed down and said calmly:
"So Master is now my only connection to the Medicine God Sect... Luckily, they didn't do anything to my Master after I left."
Xuan Gu quickly asked again:
"Have you figured out why they abandoned you back then?"
"Why did you abandon me..."
Zhan Xuanyuan's eyes were cold, and his tone was almost crazy:
"I was just using a few dying beggars to experiment with the elixirs I was refining, but they said I was disregarding human life and wasn't worthy of being an alchemist..."
"Heh, I'd like to ask, if they don't use these people for experiments, would they dare to give the pills to living people?!"
"Those famous elixirs in history, the miraculous elixirs passed down by word of mouth, which one of them didn't go through experiments?!"
"I don't believe that those pills were not tested on humans before they were refined!"
"Because of this, I committed the most unforgivable sin in the Medicine God Sect's rules. But I also made a bet with them. If I can refine the perfect elixir I envisioned at the Medicine God Conference without any side effects, then they can't expel me... or even convict me."
"At that time, I could still be called the 'Holy Son' of the Medicine God Sect, so they had to compromise for my sake."
"After that... it's what I just told you... They secretly cultivated Xia Ningmo at some point, and he defeated me fair and square at the Medicine God Conference!"
"Not only are the pills she refines more perfect and higher in quality than mine, but even the most perfect medicinal effects I envisioned actually appear in the pills she refines!"
"That's why I lost miserably... and was expelled from the Medicine God Sect."
