In a manor in the suburbs of Haijin,
Ling Yuanliang rang the doorbell. After more than ten minutes, a hunchbacked old man walked out. One of the old man's eyes was blind. Although he was old, he still had black hair. His right arm was gone, and he walked with a limp.
"Ling Yuanliang? How come you have time to come here? Does your dying son need some medicinal herbs? I don't have them here. Go somewhere else!" The old man said in a hoarse voice. After that, he didn't give Ling Yuanliang a chance to speak. He turned around and walked back without even opening the door.
Ling Yuanliang was anxious, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. He had been here before and it was the same every time.
"I'm afraid you won't live long." Qin Tian said.
Hearing Qin Tian's words, the hunchbacked old man paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.
"I can add ten years to your life." Qin Tian continued.
As soon as he said this, the old man stopped walking completely, and Ling Yuanliang and Ling Qingyun were both shocked. Increasing lifespan, this person's fate was predetermined by heaven. Qin Tian's words were undoubtedly a fight against heaven. Such a thing that went against heaven was really unbelievable.
The old man slowly turned around, looked Qin Tian up and down carefully, and then sneered, "Where did this young man come from? How dare you speak nonsense here and add ten years to your life span? Hahaha~ You are making a fool of yourself!"
The old man ignored Qin Tian and turned around again. Qin Tian smiled slightly and said, "Don't you think that although you take the pill every day to keep your physical condition at its peak, at night, your body can no longer move, and your whole body is numb and itchy, and even painful.
If you continue like this, you won't be around for long, maybe half a year at most, before you pass away."
Qin Tian's words shocked the old man. He turned around suddenly and looked at Qin Tian in horror, "Who are you?"
Qin Tian didn't answer but asked, "Is this how you treat your guests?"
The old man snorted coldly, then walked to the door and said coldly, "You'd better not lie to me, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable for you."
Qin Tian smiled as he watched the old man open the door, and then the three of them entered the old man's manor. Not long after, they entered the room.
Qin Tian and the other two were slightly surprised upon entering the room. The entire huge villa lacked a single chair. Medicine cabinets of all sizes were overflowing with items. The only empty space held a man-sized alchemy furnace. The space for a person was extremely small.
The old man ignored the three people's surprise and casually picked up a stack of newspapers from the shelf. Then he tore a few newspapers with his big hands and threw them on the ground casually. "Sit down!" He said and sat down on it.
Ling Qingyun was a little stunned. Is there such a thing?
Qin Tian, however, was completely unconcerned. In his entire life, he had seen stranger things than this. He then sat down as well. Seeing Qin Tian sit down, Ling Yuanliang also sat down. However, Ling Qingyun, wearing a skirt, found it rather inappropriate to sit like this, so she just stood quietly to the side.
The old man looked at Qin Tian and said, "Now tell me, do you have any way to help me live ten years longer?"
"Let me see your pill recipe first." Qin Tian said.
The old man looked at Qin Tian with some caution, but after changing his mind, he handed the recipe to Qin Tian. Then he said, "Don't lie to me, otherwise..."
Qin Tian just smiled slightly at the old man's words, then looked at the pill formula the old man handed over, "This pill formula... you want to live forever in this world. It's a pity that this pill formula is incomplete, but even if it is complete, it will be useless."
Hearing Qin Tian's words, the old man was surprised. "It seems that you are indeed quite capable. You can tell the effect of this pill formula just by looking at it. It's a pity that I have studied it for thirty years and still haven't been able to complete this pill formula."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Ling Yuanliang and Ling Qingyun were shocked. They looked at each other. This old man actually wanted to make an elixir of immortality.
This is a bit too crazy!
Qin Tian smiled slightly, "Even if you complete it, it's useless. You won't be able to find everything you need later, and even if you find it, you won't be able to refine it."
The old man laughed heartily and said, "I knew what you said three years ago, so I won't make any elixirs of immortality anymore. I'm going to add some ingredients to this recipe and make a pill that can quickly increase a person's strength. Ideally, I want one pill to create a Grandmaster."
Hearing the old man's words, Ling Yuanliang and Ling Qingyun were shocked. One pill could create a powerful master. How amazing must this pill be!
Qin Tian smiled but said nothing. The old man looked at Qin Tian and said, "Tell me! What price do you want me to pay to increase my lifespan by ten years?"
Finally getting to the point, Qin Tian said calmly, "It doesn't require much from you. I need thousand-year-old cardamom and some medicinal herbs."
Upon hearing Qin Tian's words, the old man laughed uncontrollably. "You...you don't even think this is a big price. You've already cost me half my life. Thousand-year-old cardamom! Do you know how much it's worth?"
"What is useful to you is called value, and what is useless to you is worthless. Since it has no value, why do you keep it? Isn't it worth using a worthless thing in exchange for ten years of life?" Qin Tian asked.
The old man naturally knew that this thing was like chicken ribs to him. It was tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
"Okay, I'm generous, you can pick any herbs you want. Once you've made your selection, we can talk." The old man said generously.
Qin Tian smiled slightly, and without refusing, he stood up and walked around the displayed medicine cabinet. Before long, he had picked out the thousand-year-old cardamom and the herbs for refining the Huitian Pill, and even the herbs for refining the Peiyuan Pill.
The old man looked at the medicinal herbs Qin Tian had selected with a painful expression, but it was still worth it in exchange for ten years of life.
