Chapter 2104: Frog at the bottom of the well
Actually, Master Hong's heart was once very conflicted.
He originally really didn't believe in this Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill.
He always felt that the Life-Prolonging Pill he treasured as a treasure was useless, so there must be nothing in this world that could save An Qishan.
But he didn't expect that a young female celebrity would have such a magical pill that could even save someone who was almost about to be declared dead!
The key was that An Qishan was originally on his last breath, and this Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill not only pulled him back from the gates of hell but even made him instantly recover as if he hadn't been injured at all. This kind of medicinal effect completely overturned Master Hong's understanding of the word "pill."
People who practice the Dao, although they pay attention to the unity of heaven and man and pay attention to self-cultivation, actually value the way of alchemy the most.
In the feudal era, the group of Daoists who used mercury and cinnabar to refine pills and then fed them to the emperor until he died were basically their predecessors.
When Master Hong first started practicing the Dao, he also wanted to study the ancient art of alchemy, but there were too few ancient alchemy books existing in the world today. The few remaining alchemy formulas he tested had no effect, so there was little progress in this area.
For so many years, he had also tried to collect various materials and alchemy formulas, and then tried to refine many kinds of pills, but basically didn't refine any useful pills.
Repeated failures didn't make him give up his pursuit of alchemy. On the contrary, as he got older, his sense of crisis became stronger. Therefore, in order to truly refine pills that could prolong life, he began to retreat for a long time, locking himself in his dojo every day to study alchemy.
However, until now, there had been no results.
Because he had suffered countless setbacks, he even once thought that perhaps there were no pills in this world that could bring the dead back to life or prolong life, and everything was just fabricated by the ancestors of the Daoist sect.
However, seeing the Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill now made him suddenly full of expectations for alchemy again.
So he bit the bullet and ran over, wanting to ask Gu Qiuyi about the relevant information of the Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill.
Gu Qiuyi didn't have any prejudice against him, so she answered directly, "This medicine was obtained by my father by chance, but he didn't tell me specifically how he got it."
Upon hearing this, Master Hong said anxiously, "Then can I trouble Miss Gu to give me your father's contact information? I really want to know where such a magical pill was obtained..."
Gu Qiuyi didn't expect this Master Hong to still want to get to the bottom of it, so she could only say, "I'm sorry, my father is usually busy. Please understand."
Master Hong said in a panic, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as your father can spare a few minutes to tell me the general process of obtaining the pill, that's enough. If he really doesn't have time, I can also fly to China to meet him and ask for advice..."
An Chongqiu, who came back with the land deed documents, saw Master Hong pestering Gu Qiuyi, his expression a bit ugly, and said, "Master Hong, you were dismissive of this Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill just now, and now you are pestering her with questions. This is not very appropriate, right? Don't you Daoist practitioners all say you are free from desires?"
Hearing An Chongqiu's sarcasm, although Master Hong couldn't hold his face, he said very sincerely and frankly, "Young Master An, to tell you the truth, I was indeed sitting in a well looking at the sky. Before Miss Gu took out the Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill, I naively thought that the best pill in this world was the Life-Prolonging Pill I treasured. But now I realize that I was just a frog at the bottom of the well."
Speaking of this, he hurriedly added, "It is precisely because I realized my own problem that I really want to see the world outside. So I ask Young Master An and Miss Gu to fulfill my wish..."
Seeing Master Hong's good attitude in admitting his mistake, An Chongqiu swallowed back the sarcasm and ridicule he had prepared in his heart.
However, he didn't want Master Hong to continue pestering Gu Qiuyi here, so he looked at him and said very seriously, "Master Hong, I told you just now that there is not only this kind of pill called the Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill in this world; there is also a Rejuvenation Pill. Not only can it cure all diseases and bring the dead back to life, but it can even make people twenty years younger. So instead of holding onto the Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill, you might as well find the clues to the Rejuvenation Pill."
Hearing this, Master Hong was stunned and blurted out, "Young Master An, you are not joking with me, are you? Is there really a divine medicine in this world that can make people rejuvenate?"
An Chongqiu nodded seriously and said, "I was the same as you before, dismissive of such things. It wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes that I knew how magical this medicine was. If you are really obsessed with alchemy, then you might as well look for clues to the Rejuvenation Pill."
Master Hong asked excitedly, "Young Master An, where did you see the Rejuvenation Pill with your own eyes?" ===== CHAPTER 2105 =====
