Chapter 830: Chapter 828 Bao Xuanming and the Dan Dao Courtyard!

Lin Bai was very puzzled, having never heard of the Life Extension Divine Pill.

The moment Bao Xuanming heard Lin Bai’s voice, a contemptuous look flashed across his arrogantly serene face, as he glanced at Lin Bai and asked coldly, "Son of Prince He, who are these two?"

He Yunfei hastily said, "Senior Bao Xuanming, these two are distinguished disciples from the Miracle Ridge."

"This is a disciple of the Sword Art Academy, Lin Bai."

"And this is the Chief Disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard, Gu Yueqing!"

"Their arrival is timely, as they can take a look at my father’s condition as well."

He Yunfei explained with a smile to Bao Xuanming.

Afterward, He Yunfei said to Lin Bai and Gu Yueqing, "Ladies and gentlemen, this Senior Bao Xuanming is the number one alchemist in Elixir King City, who has already reached the Sixth-grade Alchemist level."

Alchemists are distinguished by their grade levels.

Clearly, as a Sixth-grade Alchemist, Bao Xuanming’s alchemical skills could be far superior to those of Gu Yueqing.

Upon hearing this, Bao Xuanming’s face briefly flashed with shock, as he gave Gu Yueqing a couple of extra glances.

With a cold and indifferent chuckle, Bao Xuanming casually clasped his hands and said, "Hmph, Gu Yueqing, are you that closed-door disciple of Lu Qingyu? You seem rather unremarkable."

Gu Yueqing replied indifferently, "So it is Senior Bao Xuanming, long time no see."

Heard the conversation between Gu Yueqing and Bao Xuanming, He Yunfei asked in confusion, "Do you two know each other?"

Bao Xuanming scoffed, "Of course, I know her. The favored daughter of the Dan Dao Courtyard, who became a Fifth-grade Alchemist before the age of twenty, taken as a disciple by Lu Qingyu, her alchemical prowess surpassing all in the Dan Dao Courtyard to become the Chief Disciple—Gu Yueqing, how could I possibly not know her."

"It’s just that, while I know Miss Gu Yueqing, she probably doesn’t know me."

Bao Xuanming said with a sarcastic and cold laugh.

Gu Yueqing stated calmly, "Senior Bao Xuanming jests, how could I possibly not know you."

"Your great deeds on the Miracle Ridge ten years ago are still widely spoken of to this day."

Staring at Gu Yueqing, Bao Xuanming’s eyes unabashedly conveyed a lecherous gaze as he sneered, "If you had this appearance and figure ten years ago, you wouldn’t have escaped from my palm."

"Hahaha."

Bao Xuanming let out a boisterous laugh.

Seeing Bao Xuanming’s brazenly wild smile, Gu Yueqing felt great aversion in her heart.

Lin Bai moved closer to Gu Yueqing and asked, "How do you know each other?"

In a low voice, Gu Yueqing said to Lin Bai, "Ten years ago, Bao Xuanming was originally a disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard, but this man was licentious to the core, lusting after any woman he saw on the Miracle Ridge, regardless of whether they were married or not; he would do everything in his power to get them into bed."

"If his advances failed, he would resort to force!"

"For a time, the female disciples of the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge suffered harassment."

"Ten years ago, the Elders of the Knife Dao Sect, Sword Art Academy, Heavenly Sound Court, and the other seven academies jointly came to the Dan Dao Courtyard, demanding the execution of Bao Xuanming!"

"It was then that my Master discovered all the misdeeds Bao Xuanming had committed, and initially intended to execute him, but unexpectedly, he escaped from the Miracle Ridge and vanished without a trace."

"We originally thought that Bao Xuanming had hidden among the Lingdong 700 States, but no one expected that he would appear in Elixir King City, and even become the number one alchemist there."

Gu Yueqing said in a low voice to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai laughed, "This is a case of not seeing the wood for the trees. Besides, it’s been ten years; I reckon many warriors on the Miracle Ridge have probably forgotten about Bao Xuanming by now."

Gu Yueqing said, "Indeed, very few people know about this matter. I was still young at the time, but for me, the memory is as fresh as yesterday, so I recognized this person immediately just now."

Lin Bai said, "We are here to find the Flood Dragon Blood. Before we have obtained the Flood Dragon Blood, let’s not stir up any trouble."

"As for Bao Xuanming, we have already found his tracks today. If the Dan Dao Courtyard still wants to pursue Bao Xuanming, then once we return to the Miracle Ridge, we will inform the Dan Dao Courtyard of Bao Xuanming’s whereabouts, and by then, your Master will naturally notify the Miracle Ridge to send people to chase and kill Bao Xuanming."

Lin Bai whispered to Gu Yueqing.

As Lin Bai said this, he was already deliberately reminding Gu Yueqing.

Should Gu Yueqing, upon seeing Bao Xuanming now, let her sense of justice burst forth and decide to have a big fight with him, it would ruin Lin Bai’s plan to find the Flood Dragon Blood.

Moreover, Bao Xuanming had already reached the Third Layer of the Human Elixir Realm.

Whereas Gu Yueqing was still just at the Second Layer of the Human Elixir Realm, with weaker strength.

Lin Bai, even more so, was a crippled person without a Dantian. If a fight broke out and Gu Yueqing were no match for Bao Xuanming, then Lin Bai reckoned he would be in danger as well.

Gu Yueqing’s cultivation was not high, only at the Second Layer of the Human Elixir Realm.

However, the reason she could become the Chief Disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard was not because of her cultivation but because of her Alchemy.

The status within the Dan Dao Courtyard was determined entirely by the mastery of Alchemy.

Gu Yueqing was the favored daughter of the heavens within the Dan Dao, barely twenty years old and already a Fifth-grade Alchemist. Apart from the current Elders, almost none of the other disciples within the Dan Dao Courtyard could compare to Gu Yueqing in Alchemy.

The title of Chief Disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard was well deserved by Gu Yueqing.

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s suggestion, Gu Yueqing silently nodded in agreement and then said to He Yunfei, "Son of Prince He Yunfei, please lead us to see Grandpa He. Perhaps I might have a way with his poison."

Upon hearing this, He Yunfei immediately said with a joyful face, "Good, Miss Gu Yueqing, this way, please."

Bao Xuanming, seeing that Lin Bai and Gu Yueqing were going to see Grandpa He’s poison, sneered, "Two greenhorns, you think you can cure a poison that even I can’t cure? Utterly delusional."

Gu Yueqing glanced at Bao Xuanming, her eyes revealing disgust.

Bao Xuanming continued to say in a sarcastic tone, "Little girl, don’t even mention you, even if your Master were here, he couldn’t cure this poison either."

Gu Yueqing curiously asked, "You seem to know what poison has afflicted Grandpa He?"

Bao Xuanming sneered coldly, "I don’t know what poison it is, but I know that no one can cure it."

"Don’t believe me? Just go in and see for yourself."

Bao Xuanming sneered with his usual smugness.

Lin Bai, seeing the cold sneer on Bao Xuanming’s face, suddenly froze in thought, feeling an inexplicable strangeness about Bao Xuanming.

He Yunfei said, "Miss Gu Yueqing, Brother Lin Bai, let’s go in."

"Alright."

Gu Yueqing gently nodded her head, entering the room together with Lin Bai.

Inside the room, on a large bed, there lay an old man with peaceful white hair and beard.

He Yunfei walked over and said to Gu Yueqing and Lin Bai, "This is my father."

Gu Yueqing slowly walked over and began to examine Grandpa He’s condition.

When Lin Bai saw Grandpa He, his eyes narrowed deeply, feeling a sense of déjà vu from the poison within Grandpa He’s body...
