Great Master Hu's skill in pill refining was obvious to all. Although he was not the strongest pill refiner within the Blue Cloud Sect, he was still considered to be a rather famous master, and it was unknown how many elders would ask him to refine Pill.
But compared to Lu Chen, it was dwarfed.
Bai Cangkong's eyes flashed. Just now, offending Great Master Hu for Lu Chen was a temporary decision, and he knew better than anyone what a teenage alchemist master meant. If Bai Family had the help of such a person, then it would definitely be able to improve their foundation!
"Lu Chen, little friend, I never would have thought that your alchemy skills would be so extraordinary. It seems like asking Yun'er to invite you back was the right decision."
"Your alchemy skills have really broadened my horizons." Bai Cangkong was full of smiles as he stared at Lu Chen, as if he was looking at a treasure.
When Devil Cloud Mountain Range had heard Lu Chen casually mention the pill formulas, he had doubted Lu Chen's words. After returning home to verify the pill formulas, he had felt that Lu Chen was not a simple person, and never would he have thought that the surprise he received today was even greater. Even someone like Great Master Hu was not his match in pill refining.
"Little friend Wu Tie, your alchemy skills …." Bai Cangkong could not help but ask after pondering for a moment.
"I learned the art of alchemy on my own. Back then, I got hold of an incomplete manual for refining pills, so I studied it with great effort. I didn't expect it to be of some use." Lu Chen's heart tightened and he casually made up an excuse.
"Self-study?"
"If that's the case, then little friend Lu Chen's natural talent is truly terrifying!" Bai Cangkong said with a profound look in his eyes as he looked at Lu Chen.
"Bai Family Master praises me, but it's just that my luck is a little better." Lu Chen nodded and responded politely.
"Lu Chen, I'm sorry for what happened just now …" Remembering his rash actions, Bai Yunlai was afraid that Lu Chen would take it to heart. He hurriedly stepped forward and apologized.
"It's fine."
"It's reasonable that Miss Bai didn't believe me." He chuckled, while Lu Chen's tone was slightly cold.
"Lu Chen, I …" Bai Yunlai pursed his lips but did not know what to say.
"Did Yun'er take the liberty of making little friend Lu Chen suffer?"
"If something like this happens, I hope you don't bother with her." Bai Cangkong noticed that something was wrong and quickly said.
"It's nothing."
… ….
After a short exchange of pleasantries.
Bai Cangkong's appreciation of Lu Chen's attitude made the father and son beside him flabbergasted. They never thought that their powerful father would be so fond of Lu Chen.
"Little friend Lu Chen, follow me. Yun'er, follow me. The rest of you, stay behind for the time being." Bai Cangkong glanced at the father and son duo and said without any trace of politeness.
A moment later, Lu Chen followed Bai Cangkong to a room.
The scent of medicinal herbs was extremely pungent to the nose. A young man was lying on the bed. His face was smooth and fair, and his facial features were distinct. It was obvious that he was a handsome man, but at the moment, he was extremely weak. His brows were tightly locked together and his complexion was as pale as a sheet of white paper.
There were many servants in the room. After seeing Bai Cangkong, they respectfully saluted and left.
"Big brother."
"Are you any better?" Looking at the youth in front of him, Bai Yunfei pounced over. However, no matter how she called out, the man remained indifferent and had already fallen into a coma.
"Little friend Lu Chen, he's my eldest grandson, Bai Qingfeng. Ever since I was poisoned a while ago, my Bai Family has hired many alchemy and medical masters, but none of them were able to do anything. I hope that you can save his life."
"As long as you save my grandson, no matter what request you have, as long as it is within my capabilities, I will definitely agree to it." Bai Cangkong said solemnly as he looked at Lu Chen.
"Bai Family Master's words are too harsh."
"I still need to check the details before I can determine if I have the ability to help." Wu Tie nodded his head and immediately stepped forward. A thread of soul power was like a spider web as it slowly entered Bai Qingfeng's body, slowly inspecting the condition of his injuries.
At the critical moment, Bai Cangkong and the granddaughter stayed quiet and did not disturb Lu Chen.
"Very strong cultivation." The former's soul power fluctuated like a vast ocean, just a trace of it inadvertently revealed, causing others to feel an exceptionally strong sense of pressure. As expected of the descendant Bai Cangkong valued, if they were not mistaken, this Bai Qingfeng's cultivation level had already reached the Innate Martial Master.
Wu Tie's soul power was circulating throughout Bai Qingfeng's flesh and blood. As time passed, his eyebrows slowly furrowed.
On the side, Bai Yi looked at Wu Tie's slightly frowning eyebrows and his heart leaped into his throat. Although Bai Cangkong didn't say anything, his deep eyes were also staring at Lu Chen.
The atmosphere became solemn.
"Huh?"
"Sure enough."
After a while, Lu Chen retracted a thread of soul power. There was a strange expression on his face.
"Lu Chen, my brother's situation …" Bai Yunlai asked anxiously.
"I have some methods to deal with his situation, but I only have 60% certainty of success. If he fails …" Lu Chen did not continue, but the expression that came out of his mouth made Bai Cangkong and Bai Yunlai's expressions change drastically.
"What happens if I fail?" Bai Yunlai pursed his lips and asked unwillingly.
"If he fails, he will naturally die." Although he said it out loud, he was eighty to ninety percent sure that Bai Qingfeng would answer his question. However, in order to prevent his secret from being revealed, he purposefully said it.
"Lu Chen, you're here. What method do you want to use?" After being silent for a long time, Bai Cangkong stared at Lu Chen and asked.
"I've learned a special method to refine poison pills from that broken manual. Since the poison in his body is now dispersed, I can use this method to condense the poison. However, the risk is very high, so I'm only sixty percent confident."
In order to prevent Bai Cangkong from being suspicious, Lu Chen pushed all the reasons to a story he made up. Half of what he said was true, while the other half was false. This made Bai Cangkong and Bai Yi, their granddaughters, hesitate.
"Grandfather."
"Why don't we stop treating her?" Bai Yunlai was slightly disheartened, afraid that his elder brother would have some mishap.
"This …" Bai Cangkong was also in a difficult situation. It was related to his grandson's life. No matter how strong he was, he didn't dare to make the decision easily.
"Little friend Lu Chen, if I don't save him, will my grandson's life be saved?"
"He can keep his life, but he will lose his soul power and become a cripple for the rest of his life!"
"What!"
"He lost all his soul power and became a cripple?" Bai Cangkong was stunned. This was worse than death for a martial artist. He looked at Bai Qingfeng's face and a hint of determination appeared on his face.
