Chapter 294: Wen Family Second Elder Wen Ruoli
Elder Wen took Luo Qingran forward and introduced them directly, saying, "Second Elder, this is Miss Luo Qingran whom I mentioned to you before. She is also the disciple of Patriarch Song Jiaxi."
The man who was lying on the recliner just now turned around and looked at the little girl standing next to Elder Wen. He smiled and said, "Oh? Is this the little girl you were talking about?"
Only then did Luo Qingran see clearly the appearance of the second elder of the Wen family. He was elegant and refined, calm yet gentle. Even the smile on his face was like a spring breeze, warming the heart and making people want to get closer.
Luo Qingran hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Hello, Elder Wen Er, my name is Luo Qingran, and I came here today specifically to deliver some detoxification pills to remove the paralysis poison."
Elder Wen II looked at Luo Qingran's little face and was stunned for a moment, so he couldn't immediately react to what Luo Qingran had just said. He just felt that this face was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
The tent fell silent for a moment. Elder Wen didn't know why the Second Elder of the Inner Courtyard was in a daze after seeing Luo Qingran. In order not to embarrass the little girl, he reminded her, "Second Elder, don't you want to take a look at the pills that Miss Luo brought?"
Elder Wen Er immediately came back to his senses, "Ahem, yes, yes, I wonder what kind of herbs Miss Luo used in this detoxifying pill that can clear the paralysis poison?"
Elder Wen was about to kneel down to his second elder. This is his secret, okay? This poison-clearing pill was developed by the girl herself. Why should I tell you? Something is wrong with the second elder today. Something is very wrong!
Luo Qingran saw doubt in the eyes of the Second Elder Wen, but did not step forward to recognize him immediately. After all, such matters still require the Wen family to verify it personally, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion.
Luo Qingran smiled and said, "This valley used to be shrouded in paralysis poison all year round. The source came from the hell flower in the deepest part of the valley. I went there some time ago and pulled out the poisonous weed. The fruit of the Qingling fruit tree growing next to the hell flower is the antidote to the paralysis poison."
"However, due to the limited number of Qingling Fruits, I can only mix it with some other herbs that can remove toxins to make a detoxifying pill. My friends have already taken it and the effect is quite good. Why don't you try it yourself, Elder Wen Er?"
She understood alchemists, and knew that if they encountered any herbs or elixirs that they had never encountered before, they would most likely experiment with them themselves, just like Shennong in the history of Blue Star, who tasted hundreds of herbs and left behind the immortal "Compendium of Materia Medica" for mankind.
The alchemists in this world are the same, and they are willing to test the medicine on themselves. This is also a way for alchemists to achieve their own success. Whether it is discovering a new herb or developing a new elixir, it will become the achievement and pride of the alchemists.
When the Second Elder saw the cloth bag that Elder Wen brought up, he couldn't help but frowned, "Is this how you treat the pills? What's more, you developed and refined these yourself?"
Luo Qingran said helplessly: "Second Elder Wen, I can't do anything in this secluded valley!"
Elder Wen Er took out a pill from the cloth bag, first held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, nodded, then held it under his nose and sniffed it, frowned slightly, and sniffed it carefully again, "You said Qingling Fruit was added to it?"
"Yes." Luo Qingran said.
"But I don't smell any other scents other than herbs. Do you still have Qingling Fruit in your hand? Can you take it out and let me see it?"
Luo Qingran didn't expect that Elder Wen II wanted to see the Qingling Fruit. Although she still had a few in her hand, she didn't want to take them out now. After all, Qingling Fruit was rare. Who knew what Elder Wen II was thinking.
"That Qingling Fruit Tree only produced ten Qingling Fruits in total, and I used all of them to refine Qingdu Pills. Now I don't have any left."
"It's such a pity that I didn't get to see the Qingling Fruit with my own eyes. I heard that this Qingling Fruit can not only cure all kinds of poisons, but also help practitioners below the Heavenly Rank to improve their strength by one level. Now it's all been used up, what a pity!"
Elder Wen put the pill back into the bag, as if he had lost interest in it. Luo Qingran took in all the changes in his expression, wondering whether the Second Elder was more concerned about removing the paralysis poison or the Qingling Fruit.
"Okay, now that we have the pills, let's distribute them to everyone. By the way, Miss Luo, please stay. I have some questions to ask you. Elder Wen, please go ahead and do your work."
Elder Wen glanced at Luo Qingran, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Luo Qingran just smiled at him and shook his head. Elder Wen sighed softly and turned to leave the tent.
Luo Qingran was not polite either. She was indeed a little tired after running all the way. She had been in the tent for such a long time but was not even given a chair. She did not expect that the Second Elder was so arrogant.
She found a chair for herself in the tent and sat down, then asked, "What does the Second Elder want to ask me?"
"Miss Luo is so young, but I didn't expect that she could develop new elixirs on her own. She is truly a hero at a young age. I just don't know who her master is. Are you interested in becoming an alchemist under my Wen family?"
"Hehe, I am still a student at Tianxuan College. I have not thought about joining any family yet. However, the Second Elder wants to know who my master is, so I can tell him."
Luo Qingran had already seen what this man was thinking. He wanted to take her in as his disciple, and maybe he was even thinking of giving him the recipe for the Detoxification Pill.
I just don't know why this person would have such evil thoughts even though he should have known that he was Song Xi's apprentice. Who gave him such confidence?
"Oh? Why don't you tell me about it!" Elder Wen Er said as he walked to Luo Qingran's side and looked down at her.
Luo Qingran didn't like this feeling. "My formation master is Song Xi from the Song family, and my alchemy master is Elder Du, the president of the Alchemy Association. So? What else does Elder Wen want to know?"
Elder Wen Er had never expected that this inconspicuous little girl actually had such a background, which made him wonder how to implement his plan. Originally, when he heard the elders from the outer courtyard talking about this little girl with good talent, he wanted to take her in as his disciple and teach her how to make pills.
In this way, wouldn't he and the Song family's Patriarch Xi share a disciple, and he would also be able to make further progress in the Wen family. I didn't expect that this girl's alchemy master was actually Old Du.
However, he changed his mind and thought that Master Du's whereabouts were uncertain all year round, so he had no time to teach his apprentice. So he smiled and said, "Everyone knows Master Du's reputation. I didn't expect Miss Luo to be his apprentice at such a young age. No wonder she can create her own elixir."
"However, Master Du has been missing for many years and cannot teach his disciples in person. Why don't you find another master? I am a sect-level alchemist and I will not let you down."
Luo Qingran smiled faintly and said, "Second Elder Wen is in a high position in the Wen family. I am just a student at the academy. I am afraid that I will disappoint Second Elder Wen."
Elder Wen Er was not angry either. He just glanced at Luo Qingran's face and said, "I wonder if Miss Luo has any other relatives at home?"
"It's just a small family, not worth mentioning."
Elder Wen Er continued to ask, "Oh, tell me about it!"
Luo Qingran almost couldn't hold back the faint smile on her face. "Oh, I helped your Wen family for my master's sake, but I didn't expect that Second Elder Wen would come here to check my household registration. I'm sorry, Second Elder Wen, I have something else to do so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Luo Qingran was about to stand up and leave, but he didn't expect that Elder Wen Er suddenly jumped up, flashed and grabbed Luo Qingran's arm.
"Miss Luo may not be very old, but she has a bad temper. How could she get angry over such a simple chat?"
Luo Qingran looked at the Second Elder Wen who was holding onto her arm and refused to let go. "Second Elder Wen, you are so old, don't you know that men and women should not touch each other?"
At this time, Elder Wen lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in. He had already distributed the pills, and the remaining ones were still in the bag and he wanted to return them to Luo Qingran. Unexpectedly, the first thing he saw when he came in was Elder Wen holding Luo Qingran's arm.
Elder Wen immediately let go of his hand, as if nothing had happened, and sat back on his recliner. Elder Wen handed the cloth bag to Luo Qingran, "These are the remaining pills. Since there is no paralysis poison in this valley, it is better to return these pills to the girl."
"I am so grateful to Miss Luo for her help this time. If you need help from my Wen family in the future, please just let me know." Elder Wen bowed solemnly to Luo Qingran.
"You are too polite, Elder Wen. If there is nothing else, I will leave. My friends are waiting for me."
When Elder Wen heard Luo Qingran's words and unexpected tone, he knew what must have happened just now, but it was not convenient for him to ask now, so he had to send the person out himself.
Before leaving, Luo Qingran did not forget to remind Elder Wen to be careful of Elder Wen II.
