Chapter 221: Counselor, Ancient Alchemy!_1

"Oh? Second brother, why have I never felt such respect from you towards me?"

A voice sounded.

Everyone turned their heads and saw an old man stepping in.

Another old man...

Everyone was resigned to it.

Only...

Why had they never seen this old man before?

Only the chairman and vice-chairman of the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association trembled violently the instant they saw the old man.

"Master?"

The two of them trembled as they spoke, having not expected to see their master again.

Among all those present, Yin Tian was the most shocked.

"It’s you?!"

Even Yin Tian had an odd expression, full of surprise.

"What’s the matter, am I that surprising to you?"

The old man looked at Yin Tian with a smile in his eyes.

This old man was none other than the owner of Wanyao Hall on Ghost Street!

Yesterday, it was this old man who had revealed to him that probably only the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association had an Alchemy Furnace, which was why Yin Tian had come here.

But Yin Tian, despite all his calculations, had not expected that this old man would turn out to be the master of the chairman and vice-chairman of the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association!

Zhao Wanlin was also extremely shocked.

It was he who had taken Yin Tian to Ghost Street, and he had also met the owner of Wanyao Hall.

But he had only seen this old man as a grumpy old man, never imagining that he was the founder of the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association and the mysterious master of the chairman and vice-chairman!

All of this was just too inconceivable!

"You..."

Yin Tian, with a helpless expression, looked at the smiling old man in front of him, "Why didn’t you tell me all this yesterday?"

"If I had told you yesterday, how could there be such a sensational scene today?"

The old man winked at Yin Tian with a smile, "If I had told you yesterday, how would I have gotten you to owe me a favor?"

Yin Tian rolled his eyes at the old man, but he was also quite pleased inside.

Since this old man had such deep ties to the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, the things Yin Tian wanted to do next would become much simpler.

"Master, where have you been all these years?"

The Association’s chairman was in tears as he looked at the old man.

"Looking for medicine, treating patients, and then I met this lad here."

The old man raised his hand, pointing at Yin Tian, "If it weren’t for this lad, I was ready to die of old age, but unfortunately, I came back to life."

The chairman turned around, looked at Yin Tian with a greatly respectful expression, and gave a salute, "I’ll never forget the debt of saving our master."

Yin Tian waved his hand and then looked at the old man again, "Is that Alchemy Furnace inside yours?"

"Yes, it has been passed down from my ancestors, but the ancient method was lost by the time of my grandfather’s generation."

"Then let me borrow it."

Yin Tian said with a smile.

"What do you think I’m here for?"

The old man spoke slowly, his face bearing a grin of a cunning plan, "But remember, lad, you owe me a favor."

A full head of black lines appeared on Yin Tian as he nodded.

He certainly hadn’t expected the old man to be calculating against him so early.

"Go ahead."

The old man waved his hand at Yin Tian, signalling that he could use the Alchemy Furnace at his leisure.

Yin Tian nodded and walked towards the back hall.

As he passed by Xu Dabin, Yin Tian suddenly stopped, looking at Xu Dabin.

Xu Dabin’s expression was extremely unnatural, as he kept his head down, avoiding Yin Tian’s gaze.

Yin Tian, however, had a smile on his face, "I hit it off with your great-grandmaster, referring to each other as brothers, so what should you call me?"

Xu Dabin never dreamed that Yin Tian would come up with such a statement.

According to what Yin Tian said, wouldn’t he have to refer to Yin Tian as his great-grandmaster too?

Suddenly elevated two ranks above him?

But...

If he didn’t acknowledge it, he would certainly end up with the reputation of disrespecting his elder and committing the sin of denying his ancestors.

"You... don’t push people too far!"

Xu Dabin clenched his teeth, his voice low as he spoke to Yin Tian.

"I’m not, am I? I’m just asking normally,"

Yin Tian grinned at Xu Dabin, "Come on, tell me, what should you call me?"

Xu Dabin turned his head and looked towards his teacher, his eyes pleading for help.

The vice-chairman of the Association was equally dark-faced, shaking his head slightly, signalling to Xu Dabin not to act rashly.

Xu Dabin took a deep breath and then looked at Yin Tian, opening his mouth reluctantly, "Great-grandmaster."

"Ah."

Yin Tian agreed with a smile, "Such an obedient granddisciple."

Behind Yin Tian, the old man also shook his head with a laugh, clearly amused.

He had been secretly observing the situation for a while and had seen how Xu Dabin was trying to stump Yin Tian.

Therefore, he didn’t find Yin Tian’s retaliation too excessive.

Beside Yin Tian, Zhao Wanlin’s face was so full of laughter that all his wrinkles unfolded.

He and Xu Dabin had always been at odds, and seeing Xu Dabin being humiliated this time made him feel elated.

Yin Tian didn’t intend to continue humiliating Xu Dabin and simply grinned at him before heading towards the back hall.

The old man also stepped forward to follow, "Gentlemen, let’s all go have a look."

"Today you’re in luck to be able to witness the ancient method of alchemy."

"This is a skill that can’t be learned, no matter how much money you have."
