The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron
Chapter 91 Forced to Stay
Wu Kun's words meant nothing to Matthew. Even if the old man in front of him only had a few breaths of life left, killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Next, Matthew slowly recounted his experience in general.
He had done his best to eliminate the less important and secretive matters.
After about a cup of tea, Matthew explained how he got here.
"You said you came out of a tunnel you dug yourself. Did you see anything or encounter anything when you came out?" After listening to Matthew's story, the old man pondered for a moment and asked.
"There are endless trees as far as the eye can see, and there seems to be no others." Matthew thought for a moment and replied.
"Is it really gone?" The old man raised his eyes and stared at Matthew.
"Um, by the way, I was attacked by several golden-winged eagles and fell into the woods." Matthew said with a slap on his forehead.
"Golden-winged Eagle... That's right. It seems you didn't lie." After hearing the Golden-winged Eagle, the old man nodded and said.
Matthew didn't know what the golden-winged eagle meant to the old man, and he didn't dare to say anything else.
"You should be an alchemist, right?" the old man asked, rolling his eyelids.
"You know a little bit about alchemy, but you can't be called an alchemist." Matthew said modestly.
"I said, this is a forgotten place. People from the outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out. Therefore, we are in short supply of an alchemist here. I hope you can stay and help. Let's refine the elixir." When the old man said this, Matthew's expression changed slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he knew that the old man must have judged that he was an alchemist through the medicinal energy emanating from his body.
"This junior can only refine some basic elixirs, so I'm afraid he won't be qualified to be an alchemist." After hesitating for a moment, Matthew mustered up the courage to say.
He didn't want to spend the rest of his life being treated as an artifact that could only make alchemy.
After Matthew finished speaking, he saw the old man's eyes change.
A strong coercion enveloped the whole body.
The pressure was like a mountain, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
His knees were shaking even more. If Matthew hadn't been struggling to support him, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.
Just when Matthew was about to lose his strength, the pressure disappeared.
"Let's do this. I'll hire you to make elixirs for the village, and the reward will be calculated based on the elixirs you refine. How about that?" The old man was determined to make Matthew stay to make elixirs. He also knew that forcing Matthew to stay would be a mistake. The best solution is to give him some benefits, so that Matthew can be willing to make elixirs.
Matthew also knew that he would not be able to leave for a while, so he thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to let me stay and refine the elixir, but I need time to practice, and I can't refine the elixir all the time."
"There are only a few hundred people in the village, and there are only a few dozen people who really need elixirs. As long as you meet the elixir needs of these dozens of people, it will be fine." The old man nodded slightly and said.
"Is there fire in the earth and lungs?" Matthew continued to ask.
"Yes, there is an alchemy room in the village. We will provide the elixir you need. You just need to make the elixir with peace of mind." The old man said calmly.
"Okay, what's the reward?" Matthew asked again.
"In this mountain forest, all we can provide are elixirs, ores and monsters." The old man looked at Matthew with a half-smile.
After discussing with the old man for a few words in the room, Matthew was taken downstairs by the old man.
When the old man came out, dozens of people were already standing outside the building.
The woman and boy were also among them.
"Let me introduce to you, this is a new friend named Matthew. He is an alchemist. He will refine elixirs for you in the village. If you need elixirs, you can bring them with you. Fang and the elixir go to find Ma Xiaoyou. Of course, refining alchemy requires payment, so you can't go empty-handed." The old man said softly to the dozens of people standing outside.
"Yes, clan leader!" Everyone responded respectfully after hearing this.
"Lang Hao, take Xiaoyou Ma to the alchemy room. He will live there from now on." The old man nodded with satisfaction and said to the young man who had brought Matthew upstairs.
The young man who was called Lang Hao walked out of the crowd after hearing what the old man said. He first saluted the old man, and then said to Matthew: "Master Ma, please follow me."
"We have already negotiated the conditions. If I hear someone say that your alchemy skills are too poor, then I will not be blamed." When Matthew followed Lang Hao away, the old man's voice sounded in Matthew's ears. Sound transmission.
This was a naked threat. Matthew cursed a few times in his mind and continued to follow Lang Hao.
"Master Patriarch, is this thief really an alchemist?" After Matthew left, the woman walked up to the old man and asked softly.
"This boy is not very old, but the medicinal energy exuding from his body is extremely strong. I really can't think of anyone other than an alchemist who can have such a strong medicinal energy. Moreover, he himself admitted that he can refine elixirs. We There are fewer and fewer people in the village who can cultivate, and having this person here may improve the strength of the village." The old man said with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"The silver mushrooms have been picked, and I will merge with the Yellow Shadow Leopard as soon as possible." The woman saw the sadness in the old man's eyes and said, patting her chest.
That Langhao was a man of few words and didn't say a word along the way.
After taking Matthew to a stone house, the man finally spoke.
"Master Ma, this is the alchemist, but it has been abandoned for a long time and needs to be cleaned up." Lang Hao opened the wooden door and looked at the messy scene inside and said to Matthew.
"Just clean up, I'll wait here." Matthew nodded and said.
When Lang Hao entered the house to tidy up, those who had previously gathered outside the building also came here.
"Master Ma, what kind of elixir can you refine?" The strong man named Xiong Ba shouted at the top of his voice after he arrived.
The people who brought Matthew here were all in the foundation-building stage, and the elixirs that Matthew could refine were of no use to them.
"Qi Nourishing Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, Qi Gathering Pill, Bigu Pill..." Matthew named the pills he knew one by one.
"That Bigu Pill is good, do you have a few of them for me to try?" Upon hearing that Matthew knew how to refine the Bigu Pill, Xiong Ba immediately said with a big grin.
Matthew didn't waste any time. He took out a large bottle of Bigu Pill from his storage bag and gave a few pills to everyone present.
Each one looked at the Bigu Pills distributed by him as if they were treasures. Matthew was also in a daze. Could it be that the people here couldn't even refine the Bigu Pills?
