Old Yang and Old Fang’s expressions changed drastically. They looked at each other and exclaimed in unison, “Alchemy Master Ling Yi actually refined another ancient medicinal pill! Seeing this aura, its grade is probably extremely high! This is probably Alchemy Master Ling Yi’s fifth time this month.”

“Quick, quick, quick. Let’s hurry and congratulate the Alchemy Master. Perhaps Alchemy Master Ling Yi might even reward us with some pills.”

The two of them entered the Core Tower and forced out two drops of blood essence at the same time. The door to the Core Tower was then completely sealed, and everything was silent.

A few seconds later, Old Yang and Old Fang arrived at a stone room inlaid with golden patterns on the first floor.

The stone door opened, revealing a room that was a little dark.

A sage-like old man was controlling the flames in front of a cauldron.

This person was Alchemy Master Ling Yi whom they had been talking about earlier.

The flames were gradually extinguished, and Alchemy Master Ling Yi opened his eyes. His skinny hand made a gentle grabbing motion, and six pills floated above his palm.

Only one of the six was shining with a dazzling light. As for the other five pills, they were obviously failures.

The two old men at the door walked in with a smile. “Milord, we’re here again.”

“Lord Alchemy Master, congratulations on refining another ancient pill!”

Their expressions were as flattering as could be, which formed a sharp contrast with their attitude outside.

This was because they had been Alchemy Master Ling Yi’s doormen for so many years.

Yes, they were doormen despite everyone else regarding them as guards.

In ancient times, they were people with extremely low status. Had it not been for the fact that they had been consuming Alchemy Master Ling Yi’s unwanted pills all this while, how could they have reached their current level?

Alchemy Master Ling Yi glanced at the two of them and said expressionlessly, “You guys came on time.”

“Hehe, we’ve followed Milord for so many years, so we’ve learnt a thing or two.”

Old Yang smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head. In front of Alchemy Master Ling Yi, he was like a child.

Alchemy Master Ling Yi waved his right hand gently, and the five unsuccessful pills floated into his palm. Then, they flew out.

“You can divide these pills among yourselves. However, the pills refined this time are a little special. The medicinal effects are rather strong.”

When Old Yang and Old Fang saw the medicinal pills flying over, their breathing quickened. Their auras surged as they immediately moved to grab them.

They each got their hands on two pills, and even planned to fight for the other one.

Alchemy Master Ling Yi shook his head helplessly and said, “Stop fighting. If you want to fight, go outside and fight. I’m going to continue my seclusion.”

Old Yang and Old Fang did not dare to say anything more. They quickly withdrew their hands and bowed respectfully before turning to leave.

However, they had only taken a few steps when Alchemy Master Ling Yi thought of something. “By the way, did anything important happen recently? Did anyone break the record?”

The two stopped in their tracks. Old Yang explained, “Milord, nothing serious happened recently. Although that kid from the Cui family made it through several floors a few days ago, he’s still far from breaking the record.”

Upon hearing this, Alchemy Master Ling Yi heaved a long sigh and muttered, “The world has declined from how it was in ancient times. In the future, it will become more and more difficult to break that record. Sigh, everything is up to fate. We can only guard this tower and hope for the best.”

“Ever since Lord Qingxuan disappeared, the Martial Dao has dominated the world. Only the Dao of Alchemy has managed to preserve some of the dignity of the Dao of Medicine.”

Alchemy Master Ling Yi turned around and looked at the sky outside the window. He sighed and said, “Lord Qingxuan, if it wasn’t for you guiding Ling Yuan back then, perhaps I wouldn’t have been able to defend the Core Tower to this day.”

After sighing, Alchemy Master Ling Yi turned around and said to the two of them, “You can leave. I will be in seclusion for a year. No one is allowed to disturb me.”

Old Yang turned around and left, but he realized something was wrong a few seconds later. He turned around and looked at Old Fang.

“Old Fang, why are you in a daze? Let’s go!”

But at this moment, Old Fang was petrified!

He could not move, and his expression had turned into one of horror and disbelief.

He could not believe what he had just heard.

Ling Yuan!

Was this not the name of the person that the young man was looking for?

Why had Alchemy Master Ling Yi uttered this name?

His breathing quickened, and he could not compose himself.

Alchemy Master Ling Yi naturally noticed Old Fang’s strange behavior and said coldly, “I told you to leave. Didn’t you hear me?”

Disobedience was not something that he tolerated.

Old Yang sensed that something was wrong with Alchemy Master Ling Yi’s expression and hurriedly pulled Old Fang out.

However, Elder Fang was as stiff as a statue, refusing to leave!

Alchemy Master Ling Yi waved his sleeves and said angrily, “Do you really think that after following me for so many years, I won’t dare to chase you out?”

“Hurry up and leave, Old Fang. Do you want to die?”01d Yang urged softly.

However, Elder Fang remained motionless. He wanted to speak, but his mind went blank!

“You’re courting death!”

Alchemy Master Ling Yi clenched his fingers in the air and took out a silver needle and shot it out.

It seemed that this reckless servant needed to be taught a lesson!

Just as the silver needle was about to touch Old Fang, the latter’s eyes widened and he finally said, “Ling Yuan! Milord’s name is Ling Yuan!”

The silver needle stopped in its tracks one centimeter in front of Old Fang, and floated there menacingly.

Alchemy Master Ling Yi’s expression was very strange.

He had not expected Elder Fang to call him by this name!

Only one person knew this name, and that person was Lin Qingxuan!

This was because this name was given to him by Lin Qingxuan!

After Lin Qingxuan disappeared, he changed his name to Ling Yi.

Alchemy Master Ling Yi came to his senses and said to Elder Fang, “You have the audacity to call me by my name?”

Plop!

Old Fang knelt on the ground and said with an excited expression, “Milord, I’m innocent! How could this lowly one dare to call you by your name! In truth, there was a young man outside looking for a person called Ling Yuan. Moreover, he said that Ling Yuan was living in the Core Tower!”

Boom!

Alchemy Master Ling Yi’s brain felt like it had been rocked by a magnitude 10 earthquake, and his eyes widened.

His body trembled violently!

He was certain that in the entire Kunlun Mountains, other than Lin Qingxuan, no one else knew of this name!

In an instant, his figure flashed as he flew over to Old Fang and lifted him up. The aura around Ling Yi’s body was going berserk, and even Old Yang, who was at the side, spat out a mouthful of blood.

“What did you say? Someone was looking for Ling Yuan just now? Where is this person? Hurry up! Quickly tell me!”

How could he not be excited?

When Lord Qingxuan suddenly disappeared in the ancient era, everyone thought that Lin Qingxuan had already died!

However, he firmly believed that Lord Qingxuan was still alive, and spent hundreds of years searching. However, his efforts were fruitless!

In the end, he could only settle for protecting the Core Tower, living in seclusion for most of his life.

At this moment, he had finally heard news of Lin Qingxuan again. His emotions were all over the place!
