"You are a senior, and it would shorten my lifespan to call you 'Grandma'," Yun Qingran said amicably.
"You don't want me to call you 'Grandma' anymore?" Upon hearing Yun Qingran's words, Green Immortal immediately looked up at her with sparkling eyes.
Although calling someone "Grandma" won't hurt her, she is, after all, an elder of the valley and holds some status in the martial arts world. If others find out, it will damage her wise and dignified image.
"You don't need to call me 'Grandma,' but you have to give me something in return, like the prescription for the Marrow Cleansing Pill or something." Yun Qingran looked at Green Immortal with a greedy expression.
Being called "Grandma" won't cost you a penny, so it's meaningless. A prescription is much more practical.
Now that I know the second prescription for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, as long as I have the first prescription, the method for making the medicinal embryo, and the ingredients, I will be free to use the Marrow Cleansing Pill from now on!
"You little rascal, you actually dared to covet my Marrow Cleansing Pill." Green Immortal quickly pulled the two remaining medicinal embryos on the table into his arms.
"Anyway, you can't refine it, so there's no point in keeping it," Yun Qingran said, picking her nose.
Green Immortal: That really hits home, bro!
"No, I won't give it to you. I found this recipe for the Marrow Cleansing Pill with great difficulty, and I can't give it to you. A bet's a bet, Grandma, Grandma, Grandma." Green Immortal called Yun Qingran "Grandma" three times.
Green Immortal has some backbone, but not much!
Yun Qingran: ...
"Old man, how about we cooperate?" Yun Qingran leaned closer to Green Immortal and said in a seductive tone.
"Cooperate on what?" Green Immortal looked at her warily.
This girl is obviously very cunning; we must be careful not to fall for her tricks.
“Although you have the recipe for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, you can’t refine it. I’m the opposite; I can refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but I don’t have the recipe. How about you provide the recipe, and I’ll be responsible for refining it? After it’s done, we can split the profits fifty-fifty?” Yun Qingran bent down and nudged Green Immortal’s shoulder with her own.
"Well..." Green Immortal hesitated. He couldn't refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill right now, so this would indeed be a waste.
After thinking for a while, he agreed, "Okay, we can cooperate. But I'll only give you the medicinal embryo, not the formula."
Just because you can't refine it in one day doesn't mean you can't refine it in the future. If you watch this girl's refining process a few more times and learn from her experience, you might be able to refine it eventually.
Once I can refine it myself, I'll kick this cunning brat aside and enjoy all the benefits of the Marrow Cleansing Pill for myself.
This old man is quite shrewd. Yun Qingran watched his eyes darting around and quickly guessed what he was thinking.
"Okay, sure." Yun Qingran nodded, agreeing to cooperate first, and there would be plenty of time for the prescription.
"What is your name?" Green Immortal asked Yun Qingran.
"My name is Yun Qingran."
"Judging from your age, you're only around twenty. You're so young, yet you can refine such a difficult pill. Who is your master?" Green Immortal was very curious about Yun Qingran's background.
There's no record of such a master alchemist in the martial arts world!
"I figured it out myself by reading medical books," Yun Qingran said, touching her nose.
"A genius, truly a genius." Green Immortal looked at Yun Qingran with bright eyes and said with a smile, "Ranran, have you ever thought about becoming an apprentice? Like a master alchemist like me."
"Your alchemy skills don't seem to be as good as mine," Yun Qingran said with an awkward smile.
Green Immortal: ...
"Have you ever thought about taking on apprentices, like me?" Green Immortal's main strength is his ability to be flexible and adaptable.
She's only around twenty and she can already refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill; following her is definitely a good deal. Besides, with her talent, her alchemy skills will surely become famous for generations to come, and as her disciple, I'll definitely benefit from that.
"I'll take you as my disciple?" Yun Qingran stroked her chin and looked at Green Immortal.
Green Immortal quickly stood up straight, trying to make a good impression on Yun Qingran.
"Alright, I'll take you as my disciple." Yun Qingran nodded cheerfully.
"Master, please accept my bow." Green Immortal said, about to kneel down.
"Get up, get up quickly." Yun Qingran quickly helped him up.
“Master, I’ll go talk to Qian Sanxing and ask him to let you become my disciple. Then you won’t have to follow Qian Sanxing anymore.” Green Immortal was still very loyal.
"Hey, hey, don't go!" Yun Qingran quickly grabbed him.
"What's wrong?" Green Immortal looked at her in confusion.
"Actually, I'm not one of Qian Sanxing's disciples. I was brought back by the High Priest. To be precise, I'm a prisoner of your Demon Valley," Yun Qingran stammered.
"What? You're a prisoner brought back by the High Priest?" The Green Immortal's expression turned serious as he stared intently at her.
"What do you mean? Do you want to betray your master and ancestors?" Yun Qingran adopted a defensive stance.
"Ah, my dear family." Unexpectedly, Green Immortal stepped forward and hugged her tightly, sobbing, "I was also captured by that bastard Jing Hongying and brought to Demon Valley."
He was freely studying alchemy in the martial world when one day, a stunning figure descended from the sky and landed in front of him, asking, "Do you want to go to Demon Valley?"
He immediately replied, "No."
After listening, Jing Hongying smiled and said, "No, you want to."
Then he knocked himself unconscious and brought him to the Demon Valley, where he was given the position of the Second Elder of the Demon Valley.
Even worse off than herself, Yun Qingran asked him, "Have you been in Demon Valley all these years?"
"Yes, I am the Second Elder of the Valley. The Second Elder's position seems quite high, but I'm actually just a doctor. I treat the sick and injured people in the Valley and am also responsible for developing pills to increase one's cultivation level. These past years have been very difficult," Green Immortal said, wiping away his tears.
"Didn't you ever think about escaping?" Yun Qingran felt a little sorry for his plight.
"There's only one way in and out of Demon Valley, and only the High Priest and the Valley Master know about it. Everyone else enters and exits the valley by taking the cable car over the Abyss of Darkness. But there are guards on both sides of the cable car, and if anything changes, they'll cut it down immediately. There's absolutely no way to escape," Green Immortal said, shaking his head.
"Actually, that's not necessarily true," Yun Qingran said.
"Do you perhaps have a way to escape?" Green Immortal asked quickly, seeing her expression.
"No," Yun Qingran denied.
One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others. She is not sure whether what Green Immortal said is true or false, nor can she be sure whether he is a good person or a bad person. It is best not to tell him anything for the time being.
"I thought you had a solution," said the Green Immortal, disappointed.
"Don't worry, maybe one day we'll be able to get out of here." Yun Qingran patted his shoulder.
"Unless that bastard Jinghongying dies, the day you mentioned will never come," Green Immortal sighed.
