441 Calculation
He sighed softly, somewhat unable to let go, glanced at the two children busy at work, and continued...
'They really needed a lot of resources at that time. Unexpectedly, something still went wrong.'
Master Yun remained silent in Jingzhai; the matter at hand was beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
Elder Hua sighed softly, "Before the Princess arrived, I was also planning to entrust the two of them to Elder Yun's care if I were to pass away."
He then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Elder Yun. Elder Yun gently shook his head and chuckled softly, "Elder Hua, no need to be so polite. I still owe you quite a few pills."
Jingzhai nodded gently. After thinking for a moment, Granny Hong said softly, "We came here for this very reason. Miss Hua is a skilled physician. I wonder if she would be willing to leave the capital and go somewhere else?"
We can guarantee its safety, and we also have no shortage of alchemical materials.
Elder Yun's expression shifted, and he asked softly, "Are you going to the border city?"
Grandma Hong glanced at her young mistress and nodded gently.
Jingzhai said softly, "If Elder Hua is willing, I will take them away from the royal city to the border city in the coming days. There is no shortage of medicinal herbs there, but Miss Hua may need to refine some pills or medicinal soups."
Or perhaps I would impart some knowledge, but if someone is unwilling, I will not force them.
Upon hearing this, Elder Hua fell silent. Prescriptions, ordinary prescriptions, are not that difficult to obtain; it depends on a person's talent. Otherwise, not everyone can refine pills.
There are many apprentices, but those with talent always stand out. Having seen and witnessed much, I naturally don't completely agree with the concept of talent.
But those who are both talented and work even harder than you can only look up to you in admiration.
A series of rapid knocks sounded on the door. Then came a creaking sound as the door hinges turned, followed by a loud bang.
The door opened with a bang, and the person who entered was clearly not a friendly guest.
Before the person even entered, the voice arrived—a familiar voice of Elder Hua.
"Elder Hua, I've been looking for you for ages!" Elder Wang was wearing a long robe made of silk, with a golden character "Dan" embroidered on it.
With a strong voice, squinting eyes, and an undisguised aura, he was indeed a Martial King.
His complexion was rosy, and he was in his prime.
He strode in triumphantly, but behind him stood a familiar figure. He lowered his head, not daring to look up. The figure wore an ordinary white robe with a black iron-colored cinnabar character embroidered on it.
"Senior Brother Liu!" the two children exclaimed in unison.
Senior Brother Liu's face flushed red, and he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Elder Wang needs to speak with Master, so I... I..."
Elder Wang watched with a smile, clearly seeing the scene before him as he had been hoping for.
Suddenly, he noticed the other people. General Yun, he was an elder of the Pill Hall, and although his cultivation was inferior, what did the internal affairs of the Pill Hall have to do with him? He wasn't afraid.
Upon seeing the other two people, I couldn't immediately recall who they were.
He involuntarily quickened his pace to take a look, and instantly turned pale.
He said respectfully in a low voice, "Greetings, Your Highness. What brings you here, Your Highness?"
Jingzhai frowned slightly; he was not familiar with this person.
Elder Wang quickly replied, "This humble one is Wang De, indeed..." He was a relative outside the royal city, and now, as an elder of the Pill Hall, his status had naturally risen considerably. However, he was still not comparable to the Princess.
He nodded slightly and calmly asked, "What brings you here?"
Elder Wang said calmly, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said softly, "It's nothing, nothing. It's just that Elder Hua hasn't been to the Pill Hall for many days. Although he has already left his post, the Pill Hall is still very concerned."
I was very concerned, so I came here specifically to see Professor Hua.
Jingzhai frowned slightly, his aura dissipating, and a strong sense of oppression arose, as if the air itself had become heavy, and the surrounding air seemed to imprison Elder Wang.
Elder Wang was filled with fear. If it were General Yun, he would naturally find it difficult to kill him. But if it were this Princess, even if he were to be killed, it would probably be a pointless death.
There are probably not many people in this royal city willing to stand up for me.
With a look of fear in her eyes, she said, "Your Highness, spare me! I'll talk, I'll talk."
Someone commissioned Elder Hua to refine the Martial Emperor Pill, and I must persuade him to do so. Even if something goes wrong, it doesn't matter.
Now that Elder Hua's refining attempt has failed, that person wants Elder Hua to compensate him.
No, no, it's not compensation. I want to buy something from Elder Hua, and I hope he will agree.
After speaking, he was covered in sweat and caught his breath in an instant. He was now filled with doubt about his own strength. How could the gap be so large? Could it be that the breakthrough he achieved with the help of pills was still far from enough?
Seeing that the princess didn't ask any further questions, he quickly stepped back and said softly, "Your Highness, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
As he spoke, he backed away, and when he reached the door, he turned and ran, wishing he could practice more often.
Senior Brother Liu stood frozen in place. Elder Hua looked at the black iron-colored characters on his chest, shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "From this day forward, our master-disciple relationship is over. You may leave."
Senior Brother Liu's face turned red, and he didn't dare to look up. He hurriedly retreated with his hands clasped, but he retreated too fast and fell down on the steps with a thud.
Enraged, he said, "I already have the strength, why are you delaying my advancement? Look, those who came later than me are already Bronze, while I'm still a Beginner. I'm not convinced."
Elder Wang pulled some strings these past few days, and I advanced. What did I do wrong?
Granny Hong waved her hand gently, and Brother Liu's voice stopped abruptly. He flew out, crashed against the wall, and passed out.
Grandma Hong said apologetically in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I used too much force. I haven't used it for a while, so I'm a bit rusty."
Old Hua's face was somber, his eyes filled with thoughts of this moment, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon, and he fell silent for a moment.
Elder Yun said in a low voice, "A rebellious nature is a rebellious nature. There are no excuses. Elder Hua has never treated him badly. Instead of looking for the reasons within himself, he only thinks about convenience. He really has too many excuses."
Old Hua shook his head, "Perhaps I was wrong." He then declined to elaborate further.
After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "In my current state, what else can I gain? If there is anything at all, it must be that thing."
I didn't expect that people would find out anyway.
Seeing that none of them asked any questions, and thinking about the future, he sighed softly, "I obtained that item by chance. I was young at the time and casually saved a person on the verge of death. I left it as a token of my gratitude."
It is said to have come from the land of demons; the Coiled Dragon's Gallbladder can cure all poisons in the world.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, which showed surprise but no prying intent, I felt a sense of relief.
After a moment of contemplation, he rose, bowed, and said, "Please, Your Highness, take my grandson and granddaughter away to the border city and take good care of them."
This Panlong Pill is also a dangerous item; please accept it, Your Highness.
After saying that, he slowly took out a jade box about one foot square from his Qiankun bag and handed it over.
