Volume 1 Chapter 457 Domineering and Humble
Xiang Yun stared at the pill in a daze. He had a lot of questions in his mind, all about alchemy, to make up for his knowledge of alchemy.
Cai Lin's alchemy just now was so smooth and fluent that Xiang Yun gained a lot of insights. He could now grab Cai Lin and ask her about the knowledge for three days and three nights.
But Cai Lin would not give him this opportunity and said directly: "Take this Living Death Pill quickly. Without the jade bottle to seal it, the longer the pill is exposed to the outside world, the more the medicinal power will dissipate, and the effect will not be so good."
Having said that, Cai Lin did not allow Xiang Yun to resist and directly stuffed the sixth-grade living death pill into his mouth.
The Living Death Pill melted in his mouth, and turned into a ball of mysterious life energy that entered Xiang Yun's body. Xiang Yun felt that his whole body was unobstructed, and the wound on his back suddenly itched unbearably. Xiang Yun's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately sat cross-legged, silently reciting the meditation method in the Great Sun Emperor Sutra to make himself endure it.
"I have endured the pain of extreme yang body training, so why should I be afraid of this mere numbness and itching!" Xiang Yun cursed in his heart and forced himself to calm his mind.
This itchy feeling lasted for half an hour before slowly dissipating. Xiang Yun let out a long sigh and his body collapsed. Cai Lin hurried forward to check Xiang Yun's injuries.
He turned Xiang Yun over and looked at his back. After observing him for a while, he showed a happy expression: "You have recovered well. I believe that as long as you swallow three more Living Death Pills, the injury on your back will be healed."
Then his expression darkened and he said, "It's because you don't have spiritual energy and can't fully absorb the power of the Living Death Pill, which resulted in a lot of waste. Otherwise, you only need to take one more pill to recover."
Xiang Yun didn't care, but was overjoyed, and said quickly: "Then heal your injuries quickly, I can't wait to learn how to make pills."
Cai Lin rolled her eyes at him in displeasure, then said with resentment, "It's not that easy to refine a sixth-grade elixir. Even for me, the success rate is only 40%, and the materials needed are precious. Even though I really want you to recover immediately, I dare not continue to refine it. Otherwise, if the refining fails, the medicinal materials will be wasted. Wasting medicinal materials is not a big deal, but refining elixirs for you without medicinal materials will harm you. I can't bear it."
Xiang Yun felt guilty and knew that he was too anxious, so he said, "It's my fault. Master, please have a good rest today. It won't be too late to heal me when you have rested enough."
Xiang Yun was speaking from the heart. He saw that Cai Lin's face was pale and there was cold sweat on her forehead. If she wasn't really tired, she wouldn't act like this. He wanted to let Cai Lin have a good rest, and even suppressed the desire to ask many questions in his heart and remained silent.
But these words sounded strange to Cai Lin. She thought Xiang Yun was unhappy and was blaming her, so she said anxiously, "Xiang Yun, it's not that I don't want to treat you, it's really..."
Xiang Yun said: "I understand, it's okay, Master, go and have a good rest."
After hearing this, Cai Lin became even more anxious. She hurried forward and hugged Xiang Yun in her arms, crying aggrievedly, "Please have mercy on me. It's not that easy to refine a sixth-grade elixir... Three days, just three days. After three days, as long as I recover, I will refine it for you immediately, okay?"
Xiang Yun then realized that his words could easily lead to Cai Lin's misunderstanding, so he hugged her tightly and said softly, "What are you talking about? You are saving me, how can I blame you?"
Then Xiang Yun picked up Cai Lin and walked towards the big embroidered bed in the room. Cai Lin's face suddenly turned red, and her ears turned red. She remembered the first time she met Xiang Yun and was captured by Xiang Yun in the military camp. Her heartbeat accelerated and she felt very uncomfortable.
Xiang Yun gently put Cai Lin down, and then he lay beside Cai Lin, holding her in his arms. Cai Lin was so moved by his love that she couldn't help herself and took the initiative to kiss Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun shrank back to avoid it. Cai Lin was startled and moved forward again. Xiang Yun dodged several times in a row and suddenly stepped back a little. Seeing the passionate Cai Lin moving towards him again, Xiang Yun hurriedly said, "Don't be like this, okay?"
Cai Lin was stunned, her face full of confusion. She didn't understand why he rejected her.
Xiang Yun smiled bitterly and said, "So many things have happened to me. My family and country have been destroyed, my brothers, wife and children are missing, and I am confused about life and death. I... really don't have the mood."
Then Xiang Yun looked at Cai Lin sincerely and said, "Please understand me and forgive me, Lin'er. When I have resolved my worries and let them go, we can..."
Cai Lin pursed her lips and said nothing. She just turned over and lay flat on her back, staring at the top of the window without saying a word. She said to Yun, "That's fine. Let's just stay like this, okay?"
Cai Lin fell into silence. Xiang Yun didn't know what to say. He just stared at Cai Lin with a heavy heart, then looked at the roof. He felt a little uneasy. He knew that he was very unfair to Cai Lin, but... after ten years of torture, he really couldn't be heartless. He cared about a lot of things.
Suddenly Cai Lin broke the silence and said, "Xiang Yun, I remember you were very domineering before, not so humble..."
Xiang Yun was shocked when he heard this and looked at Cai Lin with disbelief. He obviously didn't expect her to say such a thing.
"Humble?" Xiang Yun couldn't help but say it out loud. Xiang Yun felt that his self-esteem had suffered a serious blow. He was extremely angry. Just when he was about to get angry, he found that he had no right to be angry. How could a useless person have the right?
Xiang Yun's anger disappeared at once. He looked directly at Cai Lin, and was silent for a long time. Then he said calmly, "It's ok to be humble. If Master looks down on me, then leave. Anyway, I have lost enough. If you want to leave me, it will only be another scar on my broken heart. It won't matter."
Cai Lin stepped forward and hugged Xiang Yun into her arms again, holding him tightly, murmuring: "How could it be, I love you not because of your domineering nature, but because you are you. No matter how you change, my love for you will not change."
The two were silent for another ten minutes. Xiang Yun suddenly said, "I am domineering. You will see my domineering nature. It will astonish your eyes and let you see the real me again."
"Okay, I'll wait." Cai Lin responded softly.
The two of them hugged each other like this, neither of them slept, they just closed their eyes and felt each other's body temperature, Xiang Yun smelled the fragrance, Cai Lin smelled the man's charm, until dawn.
The two of them held hands and checked out of the guest room, then flew away again. The same Cai Lin took Xiang Yunfei and soared in the sky thousands of feet high. The scenery became monotonous again.
At this time, Xiang Yun could no longer resist the desire for knowledge in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Lin'er, can you teach me how to make pills?"
Cai Lin said: "Aren't we going to hurry? How can I teach you? Don't you want to reach Dayun Empire as soon as possible?"
Xiang Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, I was inspired by watching you make the elixir yesterday, but I have been waiting until now to ask you questions. I hope Lin'er can help me solve my doubts."
Cai Lin nodded and said, "Okay, just tell me, I'll answer you one by one."
Xiang Yun immediately asked, "I noticed that there were three nine-color patterns on the sixth-grade Living Death Pill yesterday, but there were none on the Wood Spirit Pill. What is that?"
