Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

"Don't worry." Old Yang pushed his nose and turned his gaze to Qingdun, "I will."

Qing Yu smiled and turned his gaze to Lao Yang, "You have great confidence in them. In fact, at the beginning, I hoped that a calm person like you, Mr. Walter, would do this."

Old Yang smiled slightly, "Xing is a child who learns everything very quickly. She has made steady progress so far. Let's not talk about her for now."

"Yuexia, or... Theresa Apokalis." Old Yang spoke Yuexia's full name for the first time in a long time, his expression subconsciously becoming serious, "She is not a child, nor is she a weak person."

Qing Dun saw Walter's serious expression and became slightly interested. "Under the Moon... is that a code name? Like the captain?"

"Although they didn't swear an oath under the moon, they both set out on the road to save each other. One walked alone for ten thousand years, and the other sacrificed himself." Walter recalled that several system hours ago, on the train, he saw the messenger of [Liuguang Yiting] holding two memory bubbles with great piety and leaving, and then brought back the reward. He was silent for a moment, "She and the captain are both creatures that are worthy of [Fu Li]'s favor."

Qingdun frowned slightly, but didn't say anything in the end.

“Sorry, I said something difficult to understand.” Walter pushed his glasses and said, “She is indeed not good at scheming and plotting, but in this situation, she is far more suitable than me to play.”

"More suitable means..." Qingdi wanted to ask more, but a knock on the door interrupted her question. Her gaze turned to the door opened by San Yueqi. Behind Dahao, the petite dragon girl blinked curiously, and her eyes swept across everyone in the room, and finally quietly set her sights on Danheng's face.

———At the same time, Chang Letian———

Xing, who was scratching his head over the medicinal ingredients in the pill recipe, was suddenly pulled into a dark alley by Yuexia beside him.

"Don't make any noise, don't move, someone is coming." Yuexia narrowed her bright red eyes and looked outside the alley.

Xing was a little confused.

If someone is coming, then why should you hide?

But she still obediently followed Yuexia's instructions, followed her instinct, maintained absolute silence, and eliminated her presence as much as possible.

She also noticed that after leaving the captain, the Miss Yuexia in front of her seemed to have directly released some kind of second personality.

She had already felt this way when she faced Kafka in Star Harbor.

What was Miss Yuexia's state when the captain was present?

She likes silence and doesn't think about many things. She just waits for the captain to arrange things and then completes them. She loves to laugh and likes to stare at the captain. Her eyes sparkle like rubies, giving her the feeling of an aristocratic lady.

And what about leaving the captain?

The intuitive feeling is that Miss Yuexia's whole body is tense, not because she is nervous, but because she feels motivated, like a predator stepping into unfamiliar territory, and releasing her violent side.

Like now.

Xing hides himself according to his instinct, trying to weaken his own presence as much as possible, intending to turn himself into a stone.

And what about Miss Yuexia?

She lowered her eyes, her peripheral vision fixed on the narrow entrance of the alley. Her whole body was tense, ready to strike, like a snake lurking in the shadows, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to its prey.

So, who could make Miss Yuexia so nervous?

Xing also glanced towards the alley entrance.

Then, they both saw it.

A tall woman in a long gown was holding the hand of a small girl. The two walked in an awkward and cautious manner, as if they were just passing by the alley.

After the two people walked away, Yuexia quietly relaxed.

"Sister Yuexia?" Xing looked at the relaxed Yuexia in confusion.

"The recipe for the elixir." Looking back under the moon, he looked into the stars' eyes.

"What?" Xing was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Yuexia meant by mentioning the recipe for the elixir at this moment.

"The woman in the green gown just now." Yuexia narrowed her eyes, "The prescription that Lu Furong gave us was written by the woman who just walked past."

"I smell her."

Chapter 102: The Chief Alchemist

"The prescription that Green Hibiscus gave us was written by the woman who just walked past." Yuexia stared at Xing seriously, "I can smell her scent."

Xing stared at Yuexia with a dull expression, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, "What is...what is that smell?"

"This..." Yuexia was also stunned for a moment. She wanted to explain that there were various medicinal herbs and some cosmetics mixed together, but she quickly broke free from this nonsense train of thought and glared at the Star Core Spirit, "Is this important?"

Xing nodded, "It's really not important, but I'm curious, Sister Yuexia, do you have any special racial talents?"

"I'm a vampire, and my sense of smell is very keen." Yuexia paused for a moment, "More sensitive than a dog's nose, but I can't distinguish as many smells as a dog. But I am more sensitive to the smell of blood than a shark."

"I know dogs. Estelle has one..." Xing looked at Yuexia, as if sizing up some rare animal. "I've only seen sharks in the space station's records. Depending on the species, they can smell blood from hundreds of meters or even kilometers away."

"As long as I want, I can do it." Yuexia narrowed her eyes. "The woman just now smelled of blood. It wasn't her who got it personally, but she must have been in close contact with someone or something stained with blood for a period of time. She also wrote the recipe. The smell of ink and the smell on the paper all pointed to her."

Xinghe carefully observed the pair of bright and charming eyes under the moon, and hesitated for a moment, "So what should we do now?"

"Contact March directly. We may have caught a big fish."

"But we have no evidence pointing to that woman." The Star Core Spirit frowned slightly, "The clothes she was wearing were nothing special."

"It's okay, I can draw." Yuexia smiled.

For thousands of years, she would always do something to kill time.

It just so happens that painting is one of her few interests.

———Land and Investment Department————

"Lord Bailu, have you figured out anything about this recipe?" Dahao looked at Bailu, who had a serious expression and a frown on his face, and asked cautiously.

"......" Bai Lu raised her head and glanced at Dahao, with a questioning look on her cute little face with a little baby fat, "Are you... teasing me?"

?

"This thing is completely meaningless." Bai Lu frowned and shook the recipe in her hand with disgust. "The pharmacology is unclear and the medicinal properties conflict. If you want to commit suicide, there is no need to waste so many precious medicinal materials."

"Precious medicinal herbs?" Dan Heng immediately grasped the key points of Bai Lu's words and turned his gaze to Qingdui.

"I'll send someone to check right away." Qing Du nodded slightly and looked at Bai Lu, "Miss Bai Lu, please help me point out which of these precious herbs you mentioned are."

"Okay, here, this, this, and this, and this." Bai Lu pointed her fingers at several herbs one by one. "Also, these two are no longer the names on paper. The ancient names here have been merged with that... company? into another name. If you want to ask, you have to ask all of them."

"Thank you."

"This thing must have some kind of effect. Remove a few herbs? Or add a few herbs. Who knows, it might become the final elixir that the [Secret of the King of Medicine] wants to refine." Old Yang raised his hand and made a very simple guess.

After all, the collected medicinal materials will be handed over to the people of Medicine King's Secret Sutra for refining. It is easy for Medicine King's Secret Sutra to add or delete in the process.

"Then I can't help you. There are so many things in the world that can be used as medicine. It will take time to screen out the results. I still have to save people." Bai Lu said, and her eyes turned to Dan Heng.

This was not the first time Bai Lu had stared at Dan Heng.

Except for Dahao, everyone present knew a little about the relationship between Bailu and Danheng, but they deliberately turned a blind eye to it.

Dahao turned his head to look at Danheng who deliberately turned away, then looked at Bailu whose face was full of curiosity and desire to explore. He hesitated for a moment and was about to speak.

March 7's cell phone rang.

A text message, along with a picture, was sent by Xing to March's mobile phone.

"It's Xing's message." San Yue Qi picked up the phone, glanced at it, and handed his phone to Lao Yang.

Old Yang glanced at the information sent by Xing, narrowed his eyes slightly, and handed it directly to Qingdun, "Important clue, Yuexia found the person who wrote this pill recipe."

Qing Du took the phone and looked at it, his expression froze, "Captain Dan?"

Bai Lu looked at Qing Zhu with curiosity, "Sister Dan Shu?"

"Is this news true?" Qing Du handed the phone to Dahao with a complicated expression and looked at Walter. Bai Lu, who was also Dahao's attending physician, was curious about the Sergeant Dan who was suddenly mentioned by this group of people, so she came to Dahao's side.

Sergeant Dan, this is no small matter.

The position of Si Ding in Dan Ding Division is now vacant. Dan Ding Division has a total of three Dan Shi Chiefs, who are basically the real power holders in charge of Dan Ding Division.

One of the three chief alchemists is a high-ranking member of the Medicine King Secret Sect, which is not funny.

"Whether it is true or not, we will know after a test. Besides, I have already told the Chief Strategist that Yuexia is a far more suitable candidate than me in the current situation." Old Yang turned his head and looked at Qingdun. "What do you think, Chief Strategist?"

"How to try?"

"How about we just take the recipe and go find this Dan Shu and ask her to help us analyze it and see her attitude?" Old Yang looked at Qing Du.

"Aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?" Qing Du frowned slightly. She felt that Lao Yang's plan was too radical.

"Let Xing and the others take the recipe and go find it." Dan Heng said, "Didn't they assign themselves the identities of two sisters who came to the Immortal Boat to seek immortality? Finding someone with a qualified background to inquire about the efficacy of the recipe is also in line with the background identity and behavior logic they created themselves."

"Miss Yuexia is certain that the recipe was written by this Dan Shu. So what kind of conclusion and action will Dan Shu give them? Naturally, her position and identity can be determined."

Dan Heng's eyes swept over everyone in the office. "Besides, isn't there also the issue of medicinal materials? If we work on both fronts, we'll be able to find something, right?"

"There must be something wrong." The dragon girl, Bai Lu, who was holding the medicine, suddenly spoke up and stared at Dan Heng fiercely, "How could Sister Dan Shu be the kind of alchemist who violates medical ethics!"

Medical ethics is a series of rules about how to treat illnesses, how to administer medicine, what are the taboos, etc. that have been passed down in the Danding Division for thousands of years after the Xianzhou Alliance broke the belief in [Abundance].

"It's hard to say." Dan Heng met Bai Lu's eyes for the first time.

"Sister Dan Shu, she is definitely not a bad person!"

"You trust your sister Danshu."

"We also trust our Miss Yuexia."

"Let the facts speak for themselves."

Chapter 103: So, what is the price?

High up in the northeast corner of Changletian, there is an elegant pavilion named Ruomu.

The Ruomuting Pavilion can be considered as a "scenic spot" that appears in many vernacular novels and storytellers.

Distinguishing the various smells in the air along the way, Yuexia and Xing came to the outside of the pavilion. The two girls looked at each other and confirmed that the woman in the pavilion was the woman they had seen at the entrance of the alley before.

According to the information from Lao Yang, they already knew each other's identity.

One of the three chief alchemists of Dandingsi, a blind female pharmacist, Dan Shu.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Dan Shu from Dan Ding Si?" Yuexia took the initiative to speak.

In the pavilion, the blind woman raised her head and turned her gray eyes to the two girls outside the pavilion, "I am Dan Shu, who are you?"

"My two sisters are foreigners. We asked around in Changletian and learned about the name of Danshizhang, so we set out to find him."

"A foreigner... huh?" Dan Shu nodded slightly. "A guest is a guest. Since you want to learn from me, then sit down and talk."

Yuexia and Xing looked at each other, then walked into the pavilion cautiously and sat down opposite Dan Shu.

"Excuse me, both of you, what do you want to talk to me about?" Dan Shu opened his eyes, staring at the moon and stars with his lifeless eyes, inexplicably releasing a sense of oppression.

"Since the Chief Alchemist is unwilling to exchange pleasantries, I won't beat around the bush. The Chief Alchemist is a big shot in the Alchemy Department. What we're seeking is naturally related to elixirs. May I ask the Chief Alchemist if he knows where we can find the medicinal ingredient 'Liuli Bag' in the Immortal Boat right now." Yuexia stared at Dan Shu's face intently.

Because she knew that the other party was a blind man, Yuexia was directly and unscrupulously trying to find some answers from Danshu's expression.

"Glass bag, this is not a common medicine." Dan Shu raised his lips slightly, with a playful look on his face, "Outlander and Glazed bag, this is a really interesting combination."

"Besides that, there is one more thing I want to ask the chief alchemist." Yuexia stared at Dan Shu.

Although the instructions given by Walter were tentative, after Yuexia met Dan Shu, especially after seeing the other party's playful smile just now, she suddenly realized something.

If Dan Shu is really a big shot of [Medicine King Secret].

In order to confirm the efficacy of the pill formula passed down by the Medicine King Secret Teachings, two low-level soldiers who had just joined the Medicine King Secret Teachings directly presented the pill formula to the big shots of the Dan Ding Division...

[Secret of the King of Medicine] Will he really not choose to cut ties with the two of them?

Probably, right?

Although Yuexia is not good at calculating, she has followed the captain for a long time and has learned some of the captain's ways of thinking. If she were in Danshu's position in this situation, Yuexia would choose to cut off.

Strong medicine must be administered.

"Please speak." Dan Shu nodded slightly.

"How many herbs in the prescription written by the chief alchemist are actually useful? How many herbs are not used in the real prescription but are needed by the [Secret Book of the King of Medicine]?" Yuexia stared at Dan Shu, "It would be better to be frank so that when my sister and I are collecting herbs, we can avoid attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives."

"My sister and I have already stepped on a landmine. We went to a herbal medicine shop to get a prescription and asked for three herbs. The shopkeeper said that the three herbs conflicted with each other and became suspicious of us. In the end, we were not able to buy any medicine."

Yuexia narrowed her eyes and questioned Dan Shu in a low voice.

And Xing was dumbfounded standing there.

No, this scene doesn’t seem to be included in the script we discussed before, right?

Dan Shu closed her eyes and fell into a brief silence. She seemed to be looking at the two sisters opposite her, but she was obviously a blind person. Under this inexplicable observation, Yuexia was not afraid at all, but Xing felt frightened.
