Chapter 166 Master Bai Yan (Please subscribe and vote)

"Damn it! Old man Ke, are you tired of living?! If I don't beat you until you call me dad today, I will write my name Bai Yan upside down!"

An angry curse quickly came from inside the door. Obviously, this person was the Master Bai Yan that Lin Yi and Tuk Bourne were looking for.

The door opened and Bai Yan saw Mr. Ke outside. Just as he was about to continue venting his anger, he caught a glimpse of Lin Yi and Tuk Bourne behind Mr. Ke.

Seeing that there were outsiders present, he swallowed the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth.

After all, he still has to maintain his image and can't lose his composure in front of outsiders.

"Master Baiyan, long time no see. You're still as hot-tempered as ever." Tuk Bourne greeted him with a smile, as if the other party's scolding just now had no effect on him.

Bai Yan glared at Tuk Bourne and said unhappily, "Why are you looking for me? I'm busy right now, so don't bother me." After saying that, he pretended to close the door.

Seeing this, Tuk Bourne stepped forward and said, "Master Baiyan, please stay. We have something important to discuss with you."

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Bai Yan's tone was still unfriendly, but at least he didn't chase them away again.

He led a few people in and brewed a cup of fragrant tea for Lin Yi and Tuk Bourne, and as for Mr. Ke, he just casually poured a glass of cold water, as if to say: "Drink it if you want, or not, forget it if you don't want."

Seeing this undisguised differential treatment, Mr. Ke finally got angry, "What do you mean by this? This is obvious discrimination!"

Without saying a word, he picked up the glass of cold water and drank it all, then put the cup down heavily and signaled Bai Yan to add more water for him.

"Go away, add the water yourself. Captain Tuk Bourne, do you have anything urgent to do? If not, please leave quickly. I am an old man and I am in a hurry to do experiments." Bai Yan ordered Tuk Bourne to leave without any hesitation.

To him, anyone who disturbed him while doing his experiments was unwelcome.

"I'm sorry, Master Baiyan, I really have something very important to tell you this time." Tuk Bourne said apologetically.

As Tuk Bourne narrated, Bai Yan's expression gradually changed from annoyance to seriousness.

"Interesting, kid." Bai Yan turned his gaze to Lin Yi, his experienced eyes revealing a bit of curiosity and inquiry, "According to Tuk Bourne, you are also an alchemist?"

"I guess so." Lin Yi replied, "But currently I have only mastered the preparation of two kinds of potions, and I have not yet mastered the deeper alchemy."

"Mastering two is already pretty good." Bai Yan's lips curled up with interest, "Come on, you stay here and prepare the potions you know in front of me. Let me see how good your skills are."

As he spoke, Bai Yan stood up, walked to the experimental table, and made an inviting gesture to Lin Yi, "You can use this table as you like."

"Since the senior says so, I will respectfully obey your orders." After Lin Yi said this, he stood up and walked towards the experimental table with steady steps.

He quickly selected the necessary materials according to the recipe of Light Potion No. 32.

Bai Yan stood aside, observing Lin Yi's every subtle movement with sharp eyes.

When Lin Yi placed the materials on the experimental table one by one, Bai Yan began to read out their names one by one: "Ambergris, Tianling Grass, Bingxin Flower... Well, judging from the selected materials, this should be a medicine that has both healing and detoxification effects."

Ice Heart Flower is an indispensable material for making low-level detoxification potions, while other medicinal herbs play an important role in treating injuries.

Seeing Lin Yi handling the materials with skillful and precise techniques, Bai Yan finally became very interested.

Judging from the skills Lin Yi displayed, he was obviously not a novice. In Bai Yan's eyes, Lin Yi's skills were not only fully qualified, but even surpassed the level of his alchemy apprentices.

Lin Yi began to prepare the medicine in an orderly manner according to the established steps, while Bai Yan observed his every subtle movement intently.

Seeing that Bai Yan was so focused, Tuk Bourne wanted to take the opportunity to mention the urgency of the military situation and express his intention to leave.

Bai Yan interrupted him without hesitation, waving his hand to signal him to leave quickly if he was in a hurry and not to disturb him from watching Lin Yi's wonderful process of making medicine.

So, with Tuk Bourne looking frustrated but helpless, he had no choice but to quietly leave the cabin.

Twenty minutes later, with the completion of the last step in Lin Yi's hands, the No. 32 light potion was successfully prepared.

"Well, it's really well done." Bai Yan nodded with satisfaction, a rare look of approval on his face. He walked slowly to Lin Yi's side and gently dipped his finger into the crucible to scoop up a little of the freshly brewed liquid medicine.

Bai Yan put his fingers into his mouth, savoring the effects of the liquid medicine.

"It's really a miracle. Which master developed such a prescription? It's incredible that he can bring out the medicinal properties of these herbs to the extreme."

Bai Yan's voice gradually became lower, as if he had fallen into endless reverie about the mysterious master.

"Okay, okay, boy, quickly give the antidote to this old man. This crappy place smells too strongly of medicine. I can't stay here for even a second." Old Ke covered his nose and pretended to fan himself with a look of disgust. This action instantly broke Bai Yan's reverie.

Bai Yan came back to his senses and glared at Ke Lao unhappily, "You guy, you always try to take advantage of me. Get out of here, you are not welcome here."

Then he turned to Lin Yi, with a amiable smile on his face and expectation in his eyes: "Your name is Lin Yi, right? Are you interested in coming here and becoming my apprentice? As long as you are willing, you can use all the materials here freely. I can also teach you some new formulas to take your alchemy to a higher level. How about considering it?"

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Bai Yan to suddenly make such an invitation.

"Humph, you make it sound easy." Old Ke snorted disdainfully and mocked, "You old immortal, you are just an alchemy master, and you still have the nerve to teach others?"

Bai Yan's expression changed slightly, and he responded coldly: "I think someone is old and weak and started talking nonsense."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yan suddenly rushed towards Ke Lao.

The two men wrestled with each other so quickly that it was dizzying.

"Damn it, you dare to pull my beard!" Bai Yan roared, grabbing Ke Lao's wrist tightly with one hand and trying to pry open the other's fingers that were tightly grasping his beard with the other hand.

"Didn't you grab my hair hard too!" Mr. Ke grimaced in pain, but turned his head away without showing any weakness, trying to break free from the white smoke.

"Let go of me!" Bai Yan roared, his cheeks slightly twisted, obviously trying hard to suppress his anger.

"You let go first and I'll let go!" Mr. Ke also had a stubborn look on his face. The two of them were like two children, deadlocked on the floor.

At this time, Bai Yan panted and suggested: "How about this, we count to one, two, three, and then let go together, how about that?"

Ke Lao's eyes widened, as if he wanted to confirm whether Bai Yan was sincere, "You said, let's go together after counting?"

"Yes, let's loosen up together." Bai Yan nodded with a firm look in his eyes.

"Okay, one, two, three!" Ke Lao and Bai Yan counted in unison. However, after counting, neither of them had any intention of letting go. Instead, they held on even tighter.

"Ouch, it hurts! I knew you, an old fox, would cheat!" Mr. Ke covered his beard which was hurt by being pulled, turned his head away angrily, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"Nonsense! It was obviously you, old ghost, who broke your promise, why are you turning the tables?" Bai Yan was also very angry. His carefully combed hair was now messed up by Ke Lao, looking like a chicken coop.

After several minutes of stalemate and quarrel, the two finally exhausted their strength and climbed up from the ground in embarrassment.

Their hair and beards had become messy at this moment, completely different from their previous neat appearance.

"Bah, kid, follow me. Anyone who wants to come to this crappy place can come."

After Lin Yi took out the formula for the antidote, without waiting for Lin Yi to object, Mr. Ke pulled Lin Yi out of the cabin.

Bai Yan was furious behind him, cursing that Mr. Ke had no moral integrity and had robbed his apprentice. But Mr. Ke ignored him and dragged Lin Yi away.

After returning to the camp, Mr. Ke let go of Lin Yi's hand, took out a box of oil from the tent, and began to carefully maintain his beard.

While applying the cream, he looked at himself in the mirror with a distressed expression on his face.

He spent a lot of time and effort to grow these beards carefully, and each beard represents his pride and dignity.

Now that so much has been lost all of a sudden, how could he not feel sad?
