Chapter 259

It was not until a full half a stick of incense time had passed that Yang Kai quietly circulated his Yuan Qi, guiding the turbid qi in his mouth and forcing it to the center of his brows.

In the eyes of outsiders, there was clearly a faint black qi between Yang Kai’s brows.

Qin Ze was suddenly surprised.

This was clearly a sign that would only appear at the last moment of the test. Among the hundreds of alchemists who had come on stage before, only Wang Qiren and Dong Qingyan had reached this step. However, the former failed at the last moment, and the latter succeeded in one fell swoop.

How could a bodyguard also do it？

Could it be another genius suitable for alchemy!

Qin Ze was nervous, looking deeply at Yang Kai, and his heart was in his throat. Uncle Xiao had personally told him that as long as a suitable successor could be found in this test, his old man would be satisfied.

Now that Dong Qingyan has passed, if another one passes… wouldn’t his old man be overjoyed？ In the future, the line of Cloud Hidden Peak will not only have a successor, but I’m afraid it can also be carried forward.

Just as Qin Ze was extremely nervous in his heart, the black qi between Yang Kai’s brows suddenly disappeared. Qin Ze held his breath on the spot, his eyes wide open.

Whether it is a success or a failure depends on the next moment！

In the anxious waiting, Yang Kai showed no reaction. After a long time, Qin Ze’s eyes were sore from staring, but then a wisp of black qi appeared between Yang Kai’s brows again.

What’s going on！

Qin Ze was really confused. The reaction of this young man in front of him was neither like Wang Qiren who opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood, nor like Dong Qingyan who successfully forced out the black smoke. Why did this black qi repeatedly appear between his brows？ It didn’t match the situation that Shishu had said before.

Just when he was worried andfeel uncertain, the black qi disappeared.

Before he could calm down, the black qi emerged again.

……

Qin Ze’s heart jumped up and down with the rise and fall of this black qi. This kind of waiting without knowing the result was really too torturous, especially since the other party’s various performances between success and failure which made people even more tortured.

After the black qi had at least a dozen times the young man in front of him suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a thick cloud of turbid qi.

Accompanied by the spitting out of this turbid qi, the young man seemed to wither a lot, listless and without spirit.

Fuck！ You finally spat it out. Qin Ze cursed in his heart, thinking that if you tossed around a few more times, I’m afraid my heart wouldn’t be able to take it anymore.

But… why did such a thing happen？

Qin Ze furrowed his brows and thought deeply. Could it be that this youth’s qualification is just barely able to meet the standard set by the Martial Uncle? That’s why he passed the test with such difficulty? Thinking about it this way, it makes some sense.

“Senior Brother Qin…” Dong Qingyan looked at Qin Ze and said hesitantly： “How is he？”

Qin Ze then came back to his senses and laughed heartily: “Well, not bad, not bad. Although his qualification is a notch lower than yours, Junior Sister, but… It can be considered passed.”

Passed again？

The people were stunned by this sentence.

Before, so many people came on stage and none of them succeeded. Even Wang Qiren was tortured until he spat out a mouthful of black blood. But now, first a mortal-grade middle-rank alchemist passed, and that’s okay. Although her alchemist rank is very low, she is the young miss of the Dong family. The Dong family has quite a bit of influence. Everyone can still accept that they can cultivate such a talent.

But what about that guard?

That’s just the sidekick of Young Miss Dong. How could such a person also pass?

“Senior Qin, that brat couldn’t have cheated, could he?” Someone shouted from below.

“Yes, Senior. This person doesn’t even know how to refine pills and has no alchemist rank. How could he pass Master Xiao’s test？”

“He must have used some dirty means to achieve this. We don’t agree!”

……

Qin Ze’s smile immediately froze, his eyes like electricity, sweeping downward. He snorted coldly and said, “This is a poison pill personally refined by my Martial Uncle Xiao. No one can cheat. Even if a Divine Movement Realm cultivator takes this pill, without the qualification for alchemy, they still cannot withstand it. If there are those who are not convinced, just come up and give it a try. But if anyone wants to question anything further, that is to humiliate my Medicine King Valley and my Martial Uncle Xiao！”

As soon as the big hat was put on, it immediately became quiet below.

“Damn it, a small bodyguard who can’t even refine pills can pass. I don’t believe it！” An alchemist gritted his teeth. With a fierce effort, he rushed onto the high platform.

Many people closely followed and went up.

Moments later, a large group of people were poisoned…

A whole medicine jar of poison pills, there were at least five or six hundred pills. by noon, all the poison pills had been taken by people, but from beginning to end only Dong Qingyan and Yang Kai had safely passed the test.

There were also quite a few people who had the same encounter as Wang Qiren. They reached the last step but still fell short which was a pity and a sigh.

Only then did everyone know that this time, Master Xiao did not intend to widely accept disciples. He set such a difficult test just to find a suitable successor to his mantle.

After the test ended, Qin Ze walked over with a smile： “Two junior brothers and junior sisters, when will you follow me to Cloud Hidden Peak？ If Martial Uncle knows that two people have passed this time, he will definitely be very happy.”

Yang Kai kept a straight face and remained silent, his expression cold.Since his current identity was that of a sideguard follower bodyguard), he naturally couldn’t overstep his bounds.

Dong Qingyan smiled and said, “I’m going to tell my brother.”

“Oh, let’s go together. Hurry up and say goodbye, and then we’ll go to Cloud Hidden Peak！”

It was as if he couldn’t wait to take them into the Medicine King Valley.

On the third floor of the Dong Family Medicine Firm, Dong Qinghan had a bitter smile on his chubby face. The news that Dong Qingyan had passed Master Xiao’s test had long since reached his ears.

Although he knew that his younger sister had been obsessed with alchemy since childhood, he never expected her to be able to achieve such a feat.

Becoming an apprentice under Xiao Fusheng！ This was a good thing that no one could refuse. But after all, she was a girl and had been spoiled since childhood. Now that she was suddenly in a strange environment, he didn’t know if she could endure it.

But now the matter was a done deal. Unless the Dong Family was willing to break off relations with the Medicine King Valley, there was no way to get her back.

The Dong Family naturally couldn’t break off relations with the Medicine King Valley. The relationship between them was too great.

Just as he was smiling bitterly, the expressions of the Wind and Cloud Twin Guards changed slightly, and they said in a low voice, “The young lady and Young Master Yang are coming, and there is another person. He should be a person of the Medicine King Valley.

Dong Qinghan was stunned for a moment and quickly stood up. “Come with me to welcome them！”

Before he could reach the door, the sound of footsteps came from downstairs.

Opening the door, he saw Dong Qingyan walking up briskly, bouncing up from below.

“Brother, brother, I succeeded！” Dong Qingyan couldn’t wait to tell Dong Qinghan the good news.

Dong Qinghan had a stern face and reached out to knock on her head, scolding： “Nonsense！ Such a big thing, why didn’t you discuss it with me in advance！”

Dong Qingyan covered her little head and still smiled, without the slightest bit of annoyance.

Just after Dong Qinghan finished scolding, Qin Ze, who followed closely behind, coughed lightly.

Young Master Dong corrected his expression and quickly saluted： “Junior has met Senior Qin！”

“Hmm.” Qin Ze nodded faintly and frowned, saying： “Young Master Dong, since your sister has passed the test, she is a disciple of my Medicine King Valley, that is, the apprentice of my Martial Uncle Xiao, and also my junior sister. Although she is still a member of your Dong family, you can’t hit her casually！”

Dong Qinghan was stunned.

Qin Ze continued to scold casually： “Alchemists are a noble profession, different from you brutes who brandish guns and clubs. What is needed is a brain. Do you know what a brain is？ What if you beat her head bad？ My junior sister is a genius in alchemy. If it is really beaten bad, can you afford the loss？ Can you afford the anger of my Martial Uncle Xiao？ Can your Dong family afford the anger of my Medicine King Valley？”

After a series of scolding laced with sarcasm and threats, the eldest Young Master Dong was left completely speechless and humiliated.

Qin Ze snorted softly and continued, “You address me as senior. Now that Yan’er is my junior sister, in terms of seniority, she is one level higher than you. How could you hit her… Don’t you understand this truth？ Hmm？”

Dong Qinghan was dumbfounded and on the verge of tears.

He thought to himself, I just greeted you and didn’t say a word. Everyone knows that your Medicine King Valley is overprotective and overbearing, but… but she is my sister. Can’t I even discipline her？ I’ve never seen such overprotectiveness.

She hasn’t even officially joined the Medicine King Valley yet, and you’re already like this. If she really joins the Medicine King Valley, what more will you do?

However, although the eldest Young Master Dong was extremely depressed, he was also quite happy in his heart. Since Qin Ze protected his sister like this, he thought that she wouldn’t suffer any hardships after entering the Medicine King Valley.

“Junior has made a mistake！” Dong Qinghan obediently admitted his mistake.

Qin Ze then nodded slightly and said, “Well, seeing that Young Master Dong doesn’t seem like an uneducated person, it’s a good thing to be able to admit mistakes and correct them.”

A extremely forced smile was squeezed out on Dong Qinghan’s chubby face. The smile was stiff and uglier than crying.

Qin Ze turned around and looked at Dong Qinghan and said, “Junior sister, the matter should be done quickly. If you have anything to say to Young Master Dong, say it briefly. I’ll wait for you below.”

With that said, he directly drifted downstairs.

The only reason he came up here was to back up Dong Qingyan.

After Qin Ze left, Dong Qinghan gritted his teeth and looked at his younger sister: “You’ve got quite the ability now. Should I call you Senior Dong?

“Hehe…” Dong Qingyan let out a charming laugh, walked forward and swayed her brother’s arm, speaking softly： “About father…”

Dong Qinghan helplessly shook his head： “I’ll talk to him. I believe he won’t stop you.”

“Mm, mm, father will be proud of me.” Dong Qingyan quickly nodded, and a big stone in her heart was suddenly let go.

Turning to look at Yang Kai, Dong Qinghan said in a low voice： “Be careful of everything after entering the Medicine King Valley. Don’t implicate Yan’er if anything happens！”

Naturally, he was referring to the matter of the Pill Saint Peak.

“I know what I’m doing.” Yang Kai replied.

Half an hour later, Yang Kai and Dong Qingyan came downstairs.

Qin Ze and those three Medicine King Valley disciples had long been impatient waiting. As soon as they saw them come down, they rushed back as if their butts were on fire.

Among the twelve great peaks of the Medicine King Valley, the Cloud Hidden Peak was located near the middle, only two mountain peaks away from the Pill Saint Peak.

Arriving at the foot of the peak and looking up, there was only a faintly visible rugged mountain path in the wild leading to the top, with lush greenery on both sides and a beautiful scenery.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a stone tablet with three big, vigorous and powerful characters ‘Yunyin Peak’ engraved on it.

In the lower right corner of the stone tablet, there was also a line of small blood-red characters.

Yang Kai took a closer look and saw that the line of small characters was actually： ‘Those who trespass will die！’
