The door was closed, as if isolated from the world.
The man brought a bowl and said, "I know you can control this poison, but I'll help you solve it."
As expected, he was the one who poisoned it. An Yan was not wrong. She took the bowl and smelled it. It was a few benign herbs, so she drank it in one gulp and said, "I never thought that there was still an ancient person living in this era."
He laughed out loud and said, "I am not an ancient person. I just admire ancient medicine, so I wanted to be an ancient person. It's just that I was born in the wrong era and ended up here."
"You mean you have all the skills but can't defeat those cunning villains, right?" An Yan asked him, and at his request, sat on a chair he handed over.
The man also sat down and said, "They are after money, fame and gain, I just want to heal people, but in the end I got nothing, and my family and I were separated."
An Yan didn't answer. She just thought quietly and asked him, "From what you said just now, it seems like you are waiting for me?"
"You can say I'm waiting for you, or you can say I'm waiting for someone to pass on my legacy." He fiddled with the herbs in his hands, sniffed them, and then asked her, "Are there any herbs here that you don't recognize?"
"I don't see this herb often. It can only be found deep in the mountains. Ordinary people can't go to such places." An Yan said as she picked up a herb and handed it over.
"I can grow all kinds of medicinal herbs." He said as he pulled off a piece of cloth, surprising An Yan.
She has experienced many lifetimes and is no stranger to herbs. All the herbs grown here are extremely rare and precious. They were herbs that could only grow long ago and are now extinct. Even Wancaotang cannot get them.
He smiled and said, "My time is running out. I need to find a qualified apprentice. I have been waiting for so many years, and now he has finally come."
"Are you talking about me?" An Yan asked him.
"Are you unhappy?" he asked.
"Then you should know the herb Snow Lotus Purple." An Yan was already eager to know the whereabouts of this herb.
"I know." He nodded.
An Yan seemed to have hope ignited. She immediately stood up from her chair and approached him, asking, "Where is it? Can you tell me?"
"You are intelligent, have good roots, have a natural sensitivity to medicinal herbs, and know the Thirty-Six Needles of Tianmen. It would be a pity if you don't become my apprentice." He looked at her, as if waiting for her.
An Yan had never thought of finding a master, and this was her first time meeting him, so she said, "Old man, please tell me the whereabouts of Xue Lian Zi first, okay?"
"It's not difficult for you to get Xue Lian Zi. If you become my disciple, you can get him, and much more than him. There are some other things that no one else knows except me." He said something unfathomable, and seeing that An Yan didn't answer immediately, he said, "You can go back and think about it. I am absolutely qualified to be your master."
"You are Mr. Hua, so what is your relationship with Li Yu and the three major families in the medical field?" An Yan asked about this matter again.
He did not answer the question directly, but just said: "Go back and think about whether you are willing to be my apprentice."
"I also have a way to get Snow Lotus Purple myself."
He smiled and said, "If you have other solutions, I don't need to talk to you about this."
"A friend just told me that Snow Lotus Purple is being auctioned at an auction house. So I have to doubt whether the medicine in your hand is real." An Yan expressed her doubts directly.
"The Snow Lotus Purple sold at the auction house is real, and I am the one selling it." He looked at her calmly.
An Yan was shocked and had no idea what he meant, but she said, "I can raise money and auction it off."
"Except for the people of the three major families, no one else can get him, no matter who it is, or even if their assets are combined, it is impossible." His tone was thick and steady, as if he had a plan in hand.
An Yan was even more confused when she heard this and asked, "Then why did you say you would give it to me?"
"As long as you agree to be my apprentice, he will of course be yours."
"Will you take it from the auction house and give it to me now?" An Yan asked him again.
"It's just a purple snow lotus. Why are you so nervous? As my disciple, you can get white fairy water at will, let alone a purple snow lotus." He laughed again, thinking she was petty.
An Yan was finally shocked. Baixian Water was a legend. It was a medicine that could bring the dead back to life and also had the effect of rejuvenating the body. It was said to be a prescription left by immortals. He was simply a madman.
But if what he said was true, then he could really be her master, but she still had to think about it.
"What's wrong with being my apprentice? Why are you still hesitating?" He stared at her again.
"Do you still want your disciple to avenge you?" An Yan sat back in the chair. She was much calmer than before.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
He laughed out loud and said, "I really like you, a girl. You are very smart!"
"I won't do anything illegal. I'm a good girl."
"No need, it's very simple for you." He threw away the herbs in his hand.
At this time, An Yan's cell phone rang. It was An Cheng calling. She picked it up immediately and asked, "Dad, is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just called to ask you to come home for dinner. It's already six o'clock."
An Yan quickly agreed and said, "Okay, I'll be back soon, you and Yi Chen can eat first."
"How can this be possible? The two of us will wait for you to come back together. Yi Chen will cook today, and all of them will be your favorite dishes." After saying that, An Cheng hung up the phone.
The old man said to An Yan, "Go back and eat first. If you decide to be my apprentice, come find me. With your qualifications, you can learn everything I have learned in one night."
"Are you Hua Ye?" An Yan asked him again before leaving. She thought he was a man with a story.
"My last name is Hua, and some people did call me Grandpa Hua, but that was a long time ago. Now I'm just an old man living alone." He chuckled, his tone full of desolation.
An Yan thought of something and asked again: "Li Yu is one of your enemies, right?"
"He's a hypocrite and a thief!" He was so angry that he breathed out of his nose. He stretched out his hands to show An Yan, "See the wounds here? The tendons were broken because of him."
An Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that she was almost harmed by that man just now, but she still decided to go back to her home to eat first.
She had just gotten out of the taxi and walked into the community.
Suddenly, five people rushed out and blocked her way. She looked closely and saw that it was those haunting men again. She had no idea what they were doing. She said, "What are you doing?"
