199: Chapter 199: You’re Sick!
After a long ti, Yan Cangtian finally cald down from that nearly insane state.
He stared intensely at Ling Feng, sizing him up from head to toe as if trying to see right through the young man.
“Young man, who exactly are you?
Who taught you your alchemy skills?”
Yan Cangtian had never imagined that a teenager would possess such alchemy accomplishnts.
Not to ntion anything else, his alchemy techniques were nearly as skilled as a sixth-level alchemist!
“It’s sort of a family heritage,” Ling Feng touched his nose.
In truth, he had not purposefully delved deep into studies of alchemy.
It was only because the dical books left by his grandfather stressed the significance of alchemy to a dical practitioner that he had beco distracted with the Alchemy Dao.
Even so, the literature of dical skills passed down by the dical Saint, including the “Supre Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture,” combined with Ling Feng’s exceptional talent, had already given him what could be called the foremost alchemy accomplishnts in the Sky White Empire at his tender age.
“Heritage?” Yan Cangtian narrowed his eyes.
“Within the Sky White Empire, there exist Daoist dical Families with over a thousand years of history; to my knowledge, only the Sun Family, Huaa Family, Jin Family, and Lee Family.
And yet, you clearly bear the surna Ling!”
“Oh…” Ling Feng pursed his lips, showing no intention of revealing himself as the heir of the dical Saint, and simply said nonchalantly, “Could it be that in this whole world, aside from the Daoist dical Families, there are no other great figures in alchemy?
Like the elder’s alchemy skills, they are unique and can match most grandmasters.”
“Ha, the kid has insight!” Yan Cangtian bead upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, “Alright, alright, if you refuse to disclose your identity, so be it.
Quick, tell how the Hundred Herbs Elixir is refined!
There shouldn’t be any mistakes in my Elixir Recipe!”
“The Elixir Recipe you completed was indeed impeccable,” Ling Feng said with a light smile.
“However, Elder, if you look at the dicinal herbs I’ve chosen compared to the ones you picked out yourself, you’ll probably understand the mystery behind it.”
After saying this, Ling Feng brought forward the one hundred materials he had collected and started to place the dicinal herbs one by one in front of Yan Cangtian for comparison.
Only after doing all this did Ling Feng slowly speak, “There are one hundred herbs in the Hundred Herbs Elixir, and elder, you mistook over thirty of them.
Furthermore, there are six whose properties are completely opposite.
Had it not been for your alchemy skills reaching a pinnacle, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even have been able to form the elixir.”
Yan Cangtian’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably as he grabbed the mistaken herbs, looking back and forth, utterly befuddled, “How can they be wrong?
They look exactly the sa!”
Ling Feng didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry and seriously said, “Elder, the truth is right before your eyes.
Your theoretical knowledge is profound, and your alchemy skills can be called that of a grandmaster, but as an alchemist, the ability to identify dicinal herbs is also extrely crucial.”
“I don’t understand herbal identification…
haha…
I don’t understand it…”
Yan Cangtian burst out laughing maniacally, “How could I possibly not understand it?
I am Yan Cangtian, who could identify hundred herbs at three years old, who beca a first-rank alchemist at the age of seven!
By twenty, I had entered the ranks of the empire’s top alchemists!
How could I not understand herbs?”
Ling Feng watched Yan Cangtian’s frenzied behavior and declared, “Because you are sick!”
From the first ti he saw Yan Cangtian, Ling Feng noticed sothing off about him, but the overwhelming scent of dicinal herbs on his body had masked so crucial information.
And now, Ling Feng realized that within Yan Cangtian’s body, too much Elixir Poison had accumulated!
This man must have frequently tested redies on himself!
And it made sense—Yan Cangtian, in his efforts to complete the “dicine King’s Scripture,” must have tested countless dicinal herbs.
As the saying goes, all dicine contains a asure of poison.
Over the years, nurous poisons had accumulated in his body.
Although he had used his profound martial strength to suppress the poison, his brain had still been severely affected.
Although these were Ling Feng’s guesses, he had fairly accurately surmised the majority of the situation.
Another part of the problem was that Yan Cangtian, in order to test his achievents, refined a variety of elixirs and tested them on himself, which resulted in a mixture of elixir and dicinal poison.
Even his mighty martial strength beca unpredictable, waxing and waning without warning.
“Your body is tainted with too much dicinal poison, which has already interfered with your brain function.
If this vicious cycle continues, senior, I dare say you won’t live past three years!”
Ling Feng gazed directly into Yan Cangtian’s eyes, and despite seeing his expression becoming increasingly angry, he still voiced his diagnosis.
“Nonsense!” Yan Cangtian roared furiously, slapping his palm hard onto a stone table beside him.
Unfortunately, his martial strength suddenly disappeared, leaving the stone table unscathed while his palm turned red and swollen.
“Ouch!”
Yan Cangtian clutched his palm, which throbbed painfully.
“Damn it, my strength is gone again!”
“Hm?” Ling Feng’s expression changed.
“Senior’s martial strength has beco so unreliable?”
He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Yan Cangtian’s arm, placing it on his pulse and said solemnly, “Senior, I’m afraid your symptoms have already entered the second stage!
If we can’t remove the dicinal poison from your body, first, you’ll go completely blind; second, your martial strength will dissipate; and after that, I presu I need not say more, right?”
“You!” Yan Cangtian tried to push Ling Feng away.
On one hand, he was frightened by Ling Feng’s words, and on the other, he had temporarily lost his martial strength and was incapable of resisting.
Ling Feng helped Yan Cangtian sit down beside him and said gravely, “Senior, your dedication to testing dicine on yourself and wholeheartedly researching the dicine King’s Scripture and even completing it—just for that, I am truly ashad.
If senior trusts , I am willing to help you cleanse the dicinal poison from your body.”
In fact, Ling Feng’s offer to treat Yan Cangtian was not solely for the reason just ntioned; he also had his own ulterior motives.
The dicine King’s Scripture was sothing all doctors dream of.
If he could cure Yan Cangtian, asking to borrow this treasure would be reasonable, and Yan Cangtian would have no reason to refuse.
Furthermore, he was genuinely interested in Yan Cangtian’s unusual condition, and treating such a strange illness would be a challenge for him.
He had been concerned that after arriving at the Heavenly Position Academy, he might lack a dedicated dicine Garden to further his study of dical skills and the Alchemy Dao.
But now, it seed Yan Cangtian’s dicine Garden was quite suitable.
In summary, if he could cure Yan Cangtian, it would be all gains and no losses.
“Young man, can you really cure my peculiar illness?”
For so reason, upon seeing Ling Feng’s eyes, Yan Cangtian felt a asure of trust, as if his mind had also beco a bit clearer.
He was well aware of his condition; he had indeed noticed the dicinal poison in his body starting to erode himself, but he had always used his cultivation to suppress it, missing the best ti for treatnt.
Lately, his brain had beco sowhat addled, and it never occurred to him to seek treatnt.
Besides, his eccentric ways made everyone keep their distance, and gradually, he had co to be regarded as an “Old Madman.”
Such a downfall for a once Alchemy Genius was truly pitiable and lantable.
“If you believe in , I can cure you,” Ling Feng nodded slightly.
“However, your condition is sowhat troubleso; I need to think about it further.
But tonight, I can perform acupuncture to relieve so of the dicinal poison within your Dan Tian Energy Sea, so that your Primordial Qi doesn’t frequently lose control.”
“Alright, I trust you!” Yan Cangtian clenched his teeth, “Let’s do it!”
