Under One Person: With unparalleled comprehension, I become the Celestial Master!

But I just happened to run into these two people today!

Inexplicably, Old Zhang felt he had met the one who would carry on his legacy!

Sure enough, while he was lost in thought...

A wisp of fragrance suddenly wafted from the alchemy furnace in front of them.

After smelling it, the fat man exclaimed in surprise:

"Is this burnt or what? It smells so good!"

Zhang Daoran smiled calmly and then lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace!

You can vaguely see a few dark, perfectly round pills inside the alchemy furnace.

"That's about it. I haven't refined pills in a long time, so I'm a bit rusty!"

Upon hearing Zhang Daoran's words, Old Zhang, who was standing to the side, was filled with shock!

Looking at the pills in the alchemy furnace, his eyes reddened slightly.

He thought to himself that he had been trying to take on apprentices his whole life, but he hadn't found a single good one!

Who would have thought that at this advanced age, I would encounter such a promising talent!

"Boy, what's your name? Would you like to become my disciple?"

(I'm begging for free gifts! Every penny counts, I can't afford to eat anymore, sob sob, please support me!)

Chapter 97 What does Zhang Lingyu becoming a disciple have to do with me?

Apprenticeship?

Zhang Daoran was taken aback when he heard this!

He thought to himself that his only master from beginning to end was the Celestial Master!

If I were to become a disciple of this person, wouldn't that be betraying my master and ancestors, and being ungrateful?

No, no, no!

"Young man Zhang Lingyu!" Zhang Daoran cupped his hands in greeting.

"I wonder why you accepted me as your disciple, senior? I feel quite humbled and uneasy!"

"Zhang Lingyu? What a good name!" Old Zhang said with a smile.

"This is a long story, you'll find out later. As long as you follow me to learn alchemy, you'll surely become famous in the future!"

Zhang Lingyu?

The fat man felt a strange sense of familiarity upon hearing the name.

It felt like I'd heard it somewhere before, but I just couldn't remember where.

However, to keep Old Zhang entertained, he joined in the commotion:

"Zhang Lingyu, let me tell you the truth, Old Zhang is in charge of this area. It's an honor for you that he's taking you as his apprentice, so what are you waiting for!"

principal?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daoran deliberately feigned a look of shock on his face!

Looking at the old man in front of him, he couldn't help but nod.

He thought to himself that it was Zhang Lingyu who was to become his disciple, not Zhang Daoran!

Is it alright for me to become an apprentice?

no problem?

Zhang Daoran smiled, trying to reassure himself, and then clasped his hands in a fist and said:

"Disciple Zhang Lingyu greets Master!"

May my master enjoy boundless blessings and live as long as the heavens!

"Hahaha! You speak quite well!" Old Zhang said.

"But in this scientific world, saying all this is useless!"

It's useless?

"Then I wish Master a star on his left and a young model on his right!" Zhang Daoran continued.

"His heroic spirit remains, and his sword has never grown old!"

good good!

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang exclaimed "Good!" three times in a row!

The fat man standing to the side twitched at the sight!

I thought to myself, this kid looks ordinary, but he speaks quite fluently!

"Here! This is a gift for you!" Old Zhang said happily, casually taking out a token from his pocket.

It is faintly visible that this token is made entirely of graphite, with a bright red character for "medicine" on it!

Compared to ordinary tokens, this token is clearly superior!

Sure enough, the fat man standing nearby said enviously after seeing this:

"Old Zhang, is this the token that lets me go to headquarters? Can I have one? I want one too!"

Old Zhang, with his hands behind his back, nodded, glanced at the fat man a few times, and then fixed his gaze on Zhang Daoran:

"Alright, Fatty, you should go back now. He'll be living here from today onwards!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man was slightly taken aback.

Knowing that Old Zhang was telling him to leave, he sighed and then turned to leave.

After the person left, Old Zhang continued:

"Disciple, this token is very important. You must keep it safe, understand?"

"Yes!" Zhang Daoran nodded and said, "However, Master, there is something I don't understand. Perhaps it's because I'm new here, but when I first arrived, I always felt a little..."

Looking at his apprentice who seemed hesitant to speak, Old Zhang's face was full of satisfaction.

It seems that only those with a talent for alchemy can clearly sense the difference in this region.

Whether it's flowers, plants, trees, or the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, they all contain profound mysteries!

With his hands behind his back, he sighed and remarked:

"It was also a matter of chance. Luckily, this fat guy brought you along, otherwise you would have ended up the same way as them!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daoran was stunned!

Looking at his master, he asked in confusion:

"Master, you mean..."

"No need to ask any more questions!" Old Zhang said with a smile.

"This is the Dan Shu (a Buddhist scripture). Study it carefully. You can make do with it for the next few days. Afterwards, come back to headquarters with me!"

After saying that, Old Zhang picked up his scalpel and headed towards the morgue.

Watching that hunched figure leave, Zhang Daoran's eyes were filled with confusion.

Although he didn't know what this person was implying, he clearly felt that there was something more to the conversation.

Feeling a chill run down his spine, he shook his head and sat down.

Looking at the alchemical text in his hand, Zhang Daoran could only pretend to read it.

As a result, he spent the next three days reading almost every day!

Or you could go to the morgue and chat with Old Zhang, or help him out.

After a few interactions, the two became more familiar with each other.

According to Zhang Daoran's understanding, this old man Zhang was originally a Gu master!

As for alchemy, that was merely a hobby.

But no one expected that a momentary hobby would become a love for decades, or even a lifetime!

According to Old Zhang, the chances of the Medicine Immortal Society making a comeback this time are extremely high.

The most important reason is that they successfully refined a certain kind of divine Gu!

Upon hearing this, the words "Gu Body Saint Child" popped into Zhang Daoran's mind!

After all, only beings like Chen Duo, whose entire body is covered in Gu poison, can be considered divine Gu!

Furthermore, this type of divine Gu only exists at headquarters!

The experimental subjects in this morgue were actually transported from various places!

The purpose was to let Old Zhang continue to make use of waste and create another kind of Gu!

As for what it was for, Zhang Daoran had no idea!
