With Lin Bai’s current ability, he definitely couldn’t refine such a pill. It was extremely rare on the market and could be said to be something that could only be found by chance. How could a fool possess it? It was something that couldn’t even be stolen, let alone robbed.
It couldn’t be that the fool refined it himself, right.
Lin Bai shook his head, feeling that this idea was somewhat laughable. Not only was a fool crazy, his speech was also incoherent. In this state, even if he could refine pills, it would be a problem whether the pills were edible.
He carefully put away the pills to prevent others from finding out.
At this time, a strange smell came from it, as if something had been burnt. Only then did Lin Bai realize that he was still refining pills. He turned his head and looked back. The small broken furnace had not been managed for too long.
The medicinal plants inside had long been charred black. The medicinal effects had been completely lost. What was left was a deformed ball. He did not know what it was, but it looked a little miserable.
Chen Yan had just finished dealing with the matters in the herbal field. It was not easy for him to accept this huge blow. When he turned around, he wanted to see how Lin Bai was refining pills. It was likely that he had completed it by now, he did not expect Lin Bai to give him such a big surprise again.
“This is the pill that you refined?”
Chen Yan looked at the black object and felt that it was somewhat irritating to his eyes. Let alone a pill, even someone would believe that it was a poison.
Two consecutive things made him doubt whether it was right or wrong to choose Lin Bai. From the beginning until now, nothing had gone smoothly.
“Could it be that you were so successful in refining the grade seven replenishing spirit pill because of your luck?” Chen Yan said with difficulty. It was no wonder that he would ask such a question.
Lin Bai explained, “No, I was interrupted when I was refining the pill just now. For a moment, I didn’t pay attention to the temperature and the furnace, so I failed.”
“Is there a fool here? His hair is extremely long, and his face can’t be seen clearly. He talks crazily.”
Chen Yan heaved a sigh of relief. “So that’s the reason. I almost thought that you couldn’t even refine such a simple medicinal pill.”
When he heard Lin Bai ask about this fool, he felt a little strange and said, “Fool Li is usually at the top of the mountain. Why did he come to the pill refining room today?”
From Chen Yan’s words, Lin Bai finally knew that this fool’s surname was Li. Because he was stupid and crazy, everyone simply called him a fool. He didn’t refute and just smiled. The following address spread. As a result, no one knew what his full name was.
“Was he originally a member? Why would the Alchemist Association take him in? Could it be that he has some relatives here?”
Chen Yan shook his head to show that he didn’t know, “I don’t know his identity either. Anyways, when I arrived here, he was already here. Fool Li was alone. How could he have any relatives? He ran all over the mountains and plains, and no one bothered about him.”
Hearing this, Lin Bai felt even more puzzled. Logically speaking, the Alchemist Association wasn’t some kind of charity. How could they possibly take in a fool whose identity and history were a mystery.
“However, some people said that he was once the most talented member here. After that, he seemed to have suffered some sort of trauma, and he became crazy like that. The president felt that he was pitiful, so he just let him be.”
“In any case, although fool Li is crazy, he is usually very quiet. He stays in one place and doesn’t come out. At most, he will say something that people don’t understand and won’t cause trouble for everyone. The others don’t care.”
After listening to Chen Yan’s story, the doubts in Lin Bai’s heart became deeper and deeper. He couldn’t help but ask, “Which few people in the Alchemist Association can refine a extreme-grade spirit qi pill?”
Chen Yan looked at him in surprise. “How many? It’s already good enough to have one. In the entire Alchemist Association, only the President can refine it. However, he hasn’t done so for a long time.”
Thinking of the extreme-grade medicinal pills that fool Li gave him, and it was still a whole bottle, Lin Bai was even more curious about fool Li. However, he couldn’t tell Chen Yan about this. Otherwise, both he and fool Li would be in danger.
It was not uncommon for people to kill others for possessing a treasure. It was better to be cautious even in the Alchemist Association.
Seeing that Lin Bai was quite concerned about fool Li, Chen Yan could not help but say, “He’s just a fool. You seem to be quite concerned.”
Lin Bai shook his head and said, “I’m just a little curious. At first, I thought he was a disciple here.”
Chen Yan smiled and did not take it to heart. “There are still quite a number of empty rooms in my courtyard. If you don’t want to stay, there are plenty of rooms in the association. For the convenience of learning, do you want to move here from the Shao Family?”
These words hit Lin Bai’s heart. After all, the Shao family had many people and many eyes. It would be inconvenient for him.
Although there were quite a number of people in the Alchemy Association, its area was extremely large. In addition, there were many trees on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. If one were to pay careful attention, one could always find a suitable place to cultivate.
It would definitely be better for Chen Yan to say this to the Shao family than him. The Shao family would not refuse to let him go, so Lin Bai agreed without hesitation.
The Shao family received the news. Although they were somewhat unwilling, they had no choice but to agree.
Shao Feng’s expression was filled with emotion. “I didn’t expect this Lin Bai to have such good luck. He actually entered the Alchemist Association.”
Third elder knew someone in the Alchemist Association, so he said disapprovingly,
“So what if he does? That Chen Yan is only a fifth-grade alchemist. I heard that he even agreed to Zhong Haoran’s challenge. The competition will be held soon.”
“But even so, we still have to pay attention to this person. I have a feeling that he’s not simple.”
Up until now, they still hadn’t found the murderer’s whereabouts. Shao Feng’s eyes were gloomy, “The most important thing now is to find the murderer as soon as possible. So many days have passed, but we haven’t seen a single person! No matter what method we use, we must find him next month!”
