The reason why he looked like this child was because of the incident with Zhang Ji's medicinal plant several years ago. It had caused him to suffer from severe poison, but it had no antidote. He could only use some special method to keep himself in his infancy and control the poison's effects.
However, he had entered the realm of a fifth rank apothecary because of this.
Mo Xi originally thought that he was the only Tier 5 alchemist left, but he didn't expect there to be one. This meant that he finally had a chance to cure the poison that had plagued him for many years.
"Quick, bring me to that grade-5 apothecary!" Wei Zhenyang used his young and tender voice to shout as he quickly jumped off the table and walked out.
Old Piao was also extremely happy. Ever since the incident with Zhang Jiu Yao, he had never seen the head in such a happy mood. He also hurried to chase after him.
Qin Rufeng, who was currently in the Pill Dueling Room, had a calm expression. Zhang Ba, who was in the next room, had a dejected look on his face. There was even a hint of age in his expression!
"How can this be? Even if you really are a Grade Five Alchemist, you should not be able to recognize this Snow Region Branch Lotus Seed. "To think that in this world, other than our Zhang Clan's direct line of descent, there is actually someone else who knows about the Snow Region of South Stream Sect's lotus seeds."
Suddenly, Zhang Ba roared at Qin Rufeng, "That's impossible, who are you? Who exactly are you? "
Qin Rufeng lightly said, "If you don't change your name, then sit down and don't change it. Qin Rufeng!" After he finished speaking, Qin Rufeng opened the door and walked out. Unexpectedly, a seven or eight-year-old child bumped into him.
The Great Evolution Scripture started to circulate rapidly in his body, and the Nine Yin Meridian Breaking Palm was ready to strike at any moment. Although he could not see the sword in his right hand, as long as there was an unusual movement from the other side, the Nine Divine Palace Sword Technique would instantly appear in his hand.
What caused Qin Rufeng to be so alert was the child that he bumped into a moment ago, who looked to be only seven or eight years old. The moment Qin Rufeng came into contact with him, he could feel the surging profound energy coming from his body.
"An expert of the Mystic Realm." Qin Rufeng cautioned in his heart, "Moreover, he is an expert who has already been in the realm of the Mysterious Master for many years. He is on a completely different level from the Zhang Clan's Mysterious Master that he killed last time.
At such a close distance, if he were to attack, even if he used all his strength, he would only be able to block three strikes. Within five moves, he would definitely be defeated. "
Being also a Mysterious Master, one was killed by Qin Rufeng at the cost of his heavy injuries while the other was able to kill him within five moves. These were two completely different concepts.
The child who had collided with him a moment ago had first sized up Qin Rufeng with a crafty gaze, before a brilliant light exploded from his eyes, causing a chill to run down Qin Rufeng's spine.
"This child won't be interested in my body, right?" An evil idea emerged in his mind.
At this moment, Wei Zhen spoke in a childish tone, "This old man is Wei Zhenyang, the head of this Pill Dojo. I heard from my subordinates that a fifth rank alchemist came to visit, so I specially rushed over to take a look."
He then did a strange action, but to Qin Rufeng, this wasn't a very mysterious action. It was a form of etiquette used between Senior Alchemy Masters.
He thought for a moment. Wei Zhenyang was testing him. After all, he was unable to refine a tier 5 pill after entering the Pill Dueling Room once. If he didn't even know this little bit of etiquette, then he would naturally be looked down upon by Wei Zhenyang. Although he wouldn't immediately deny that he was a Tier 5 alchemist, he would still look down on him.
This was because this sort of etiquette was only common in the Central Region and their surrounding areas. Alchemists rarely knew this etiquette in places like Mo Xi was far from the Central Region. Not many people in the Central Region had even heard of this etiquette.
This mighty Zhenyang was able to understand the etiquette of the alchemists in Central State and was even able to test him. In addition to the illumination pills he saw in the long corridor and the overall style and characteristics of the pill shop, he couldn't help but have a little doubt and be certain that the pill shop was connected to some of the powers in Central State.
Hearing the child who was not even a foot tall and calling himself an old man, Qin Rufeng instantly felt that it was a bit funny. However, he still smiled faintly on the surface and said: "I am Qin Rufeng. Greetings, Master Wei!"
Following that, he returned the courtesy. This was even more standard than Vibrating Sun's etiquette.
This action also made Wei Zhenyang's eyes shine brightly once again. One had to know that the etiquette of an alchemist was a compulsory lesson for all the previous heads.
Furthermore, in the entire history of the Pill Dojo, there were not many high level alchemists who didn't know about etiquette. The fact that Qin Rufeng returned the greeting with a more standard etiquette proved what he was thinking.
At this moment, a door next to him opened, "Big Brother, I've lost. From now on, you're my Big Brother!" After he had finished speaking, he cupped his hands together and bowed three times towards Qin Rufeng.
Before coming here, Zhang Ba never thought that his Zhang Family's several hundred years of knowledge on medicinal herbs could not compare to Qin Rufeng's. This defeat meant that he would lose Nan Zizian, lose control of the entire Zhang Family, and even lose his life.
However, when he heard the commotion outside, he even heard that Wei Zhenyang had directly confirmed Qin Rufeng's identity as a Grade Five Alchemist. This caused Zhang Ba's heart to once again burn with anger.
A grade-5 apothecary might be able to save the Zhang Clan, and it wouldn't be a disgrace for him to be recognized as a grade-5 apothecary. Thus, he decided to admit defeat after coming out.
Qin Rufeng, who was at the side, did not even have the chance to speak when Wei Zhenyang's immature voice resounded: "I said that you, Zhang family's child, should not join in the fun. Didn't you acknowledge him as big brother because of your identity as a Fifth Rank Alchemist, Fellow Daoist Qin? It's impossible for him to be like that wicked bastard your father.
I have heard about your bet as well. As long as I, Wei Zhenyang, am alive, I will not let your father, Zhang Zhengtian, live another day. "
Qin Rufeng, who was standing at the side, looked at the two with interest. It seemed that there was quite a bit of grudge between Zhang Ji and the pill shop.
As if seeing the doubt in Qin Rufeng's eyes, Wei Zhenyang quietly pulled Qin Rufeng to the side and said: "Fellow Daoist Qin, you can't be fooled by a group of Zhang Clan members with beast hearts. This old man wasn't like this at the time.
It was because of the Zhang family's conspiracy that I became like this right now. "
