Alchemist of Rebirth

After Ye Jiu and Chu Huai explored outside Long's house for a few days, they roughly figured out the current situation of Long's house.

So five days after arriving in X City, Ye Jiu took Chu Huai back to Long's house.

It was evening when Ye Jiu and Chu Huai went, and most of the Long family had already returned home, so when they heard that Ye Jiu was coming, they all gathered in the living room to welcome him.

When Ye Jiu walked into the living room with Chu Huai, he immediately saw Mr. Long and behind him a gentlemanly young man in a casual suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

The first moment Ye Jiu saw the young man, he felt alert in his heart. Based on his years of experience on the road, he told him that this young man had problems and he had to be on guard.

When Chu Huai who was beside him saw the young man, his eyes flashed with surprise, but because he concealed it very well, no one except Ye Jiu noticed it.

Ye Jiu and Chu Huai looked at each other, both of them knew what they were thinking, but they couldn't see it on the surface.

The old man was also very happy to see Ye Jiu. After all, Ye Jiu was the only son of his beloved daughter. Although the old man had obviously become a little disrespectful in the past two years, he recognized him immediately when he saw Ye Jiu.

So he waved at Ye Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, come over to Grandpa."

"Grandpa, long time no see. How are you?" Ye Jiu stepped forward and asked the old man to hold his hand, but while talking to the old man, he also paid attention to the young man behind him.

The old man was obviously very happy to see Ye Jiu, so he pulled him to ask non-stop, Ye Jiu also answered obediently, and the rest of the Long family also added a sentence or two, but most of the time they listened to the old man.

After the old man cared about Ye Jiu, he finally noticed Chu Huai behind Ye Jiu. The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Chu Huai, and asked indifferently, "Is this the little actor?"

"Well, Grandpa, he is Chu Huai." Ye Jiu nodded and said to Chu Huai, "Come and say hello to Grandpa."

"Hi, old man, this junior is Chu Huai." Chu Huai stepped forward and greeted the old man politely, but the old man didn't agree with him, turned his head to talk to others, and turned a blind eye to Chu Huai.

Chu Huai didn't care either, and smiled back to Ye Jiu's side.

At this time, the young man behind the old man said, "Mr. Long, it's time to take the medicine."

As soon as the young man opened his mouth, the living room fell silent instantly. Mr. Long nodded, stood up with the young man's help, and then said to everyone: "That's all for today, let's leave first, Xiao Jiu is rarely coming back, Let him rest well."

After finishing speaking, with the support of the young man, he walked up to the second floor and returned to his room.

As soon as the old man left, everyone who stayed behind had different expressions.

Seeing that the old man had left, Second Uncle Long also took the lead to stand up and said, "Since the old man has said it all, let's go back first, Xiao Jiu, come over to Second Uncle's house to play when you have time."

"Okay." Ye Jiu nodded to Second Uncle Long, and Second Uncle Long's family left. After Second Uncle Long left, Third Uncle Long's family followed.

When only Boss Long and his family were left in the living room, Ye Jiu said, "Uncle, I've heard what my cousin said."

"Well, come to my study." Long Teng, the boss of the Long family, sighed, and brought Ye Jiu and Chu Huai to his study.

Although the Long Teng family and the old man live in the main house of the Long family, they don't live in the main house, but in a building next door. The two buildings are connected, so they can be regarded as the same family.

After Long Teng brought Ye Jiu and Chu Huai to his study next door, he said, "At first, I just thought I was careless, but in the past two years, the old man has become more and more confused."

Ye Jiu frowned, and asked, "Didn't you send someone to check on that doctor?"

"Why not, but that doctor's background is very clean, no matter how hard he checks, he can't find anything wrong with it." Long Teng said helplessly.

"Of course you can't find out." At this moment, Chu Huai, who was standing aside studying the Longteng bookcase, suddenly spoke.

Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You have met a master." Chu Huai turned around and said calmly.

"Mr. Chu, please clarify." Long Teng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Because my personal privacy is involved, I can't say much about it. I can only say that the problem is indeed with the doctor, but the doctor is very skilled, and you can't find out why." Chu Huai said.

"You mean..." Long Teng looked puzzled when he heard this, but Ye Jiu guessed what Chu Huai meant and was a little shocked.

"That's what it means." Knowing that Ye Jiu had guessed it, Chu Huai nodded and said.

"Stop playing charades, you two, what exactly does this mean?" Long Teng said with a bit of a headache when he saw that Ye Jiu and Chu Huai seemed to be in agreement.

"Uncle, you can't deal with that doctor, leave it to me and Chu Huai, don't worry, Chu Huai has the secret technique passed down from his ancestors, and knows how to deal with that doctor." Ye Jiu thought for a while, and used a rather mysterious excuse Said.

Long Teng frowned even more when he heard this, "What kind of ancestral secret technique, Xiao Jiu, don't be fooled." Growing up in the high-tech era of the 21st century, coupled with the education he received and the environment he grew up in, made him Long Teng didn't believe in fantasy.

Besides, Chu Huai's background has already been checked by the Long family. For such a young actor with no background and no wealth, the three generations of his ancestors have also been checked. Where did he find any powerful characters or secret techniques?

So now hearing what Ye Jiu said, Long Teng naturally suspected that he was cheated by Chu Huai.

When they knew that Ye Jiu was with a young actor, they were already furious. If they didn't love Ye Jiu too much and didn't want to use force to force him to break up, otherwise the Long family would have told Chu Huai to leave.

Who knew that Ye Jiu brought people back to Long's house before finding a chance to persuade Ye Jiu to turn around.

Now that Chu Huai dared to speak nonsense in front of him, this made Long Teng feel very uncomfortable.

Ye Jiu naturally knew what Long Teng was thinking, but when he chose Chu Huai, he was already mentally prepared and knew what kind of difficulties he would face in the future.

So seeing Long Teng's face change at this time, Ye Jiu didn't panic, he was still very calm and calm, he said: "Uncle, don't rush to get angry, since you can't do anything about that doctor, why don't you let me and Chu Huai try it out?" ?”

Long Teng was angry, but he also felt that what Ye Jiu said made sense. They had spent countless efforts over the past two years, but they couldn't change the old man's mind. They could only let the doctor continue to enter and leave Long's house.

If Chu Huai really had a way to deal with the doctor, Long Teng would be able to look up to him a few times.

After the three reached a consensus, Ye Jiu took Chu Huai back to the guest room that Long Teng had prepared for them.

Ye Jiu and Chu Huai lived in two adjacent rooms, but because it was still early, Ye Jiu followed Chu Huai into his room.

After entering the room, Ye Jiu was about to speak, but was stopped by Chu Huai's gesture.Then I saw Chu Huai circle around the room, moving his hands constantly, and then a puff of smoke came out from several inconspicuous corners of the room.

Seeing the smoke coming out, Chu Huai stretched out his hand to grab the light smoke. Strange to say, the smoke disappeared as soon as it touched Chu Huai's hand, as if it had been absorbed by Chu Huai's palm.

After Chu Huai had absorbed the puffs of light smoke, he said, "Okay, we can talk now."

Ye Jiu frowned, and asked, "Is it really alchemy?"

"It doesn't count, it can only be said that it touched the edge of the entrance." Chu Huai waved his hand and sniffed the smell in his palm.

"The grandfather..." Ye Jiu asked again.

"It's true that it's controlled by drugs, but don't worry, it's easy to understand." Chu Huai clapped his hands, took out a small bottle from the space, uncorked it and sprinkled it into the air.

"What's that?" Ye Jiu was used to Chu Huai taking out the bottle at every turn. At first, he also doubted how Chu Huai put down so many bottles on his body. Chu Huai actually has a portable space.

"To purify the air, I put some traps by the way." Chu Huai smiled and put the bottle away.

"By the way, you seemed surprised when you saw the doctor just now?" Ye Jiu asked, remembering Chu Huai's expression just now.

"I'm quite surprised. I thought I would be the only alchemist in the world." Chu Huai smiled, reached out to hold Ye Jiu's hand, and pulled him to the side of the bed to sit down.

"Didn't you just say that he just touched the edge of entry?" Ye Jiu frowned.

"Yes, but you still need a teacher if you want to get involved." Chu Huai smiled.

"You mean, there is someone behind him?"

"Well, that's why I said you couldn't find out his background." Chu Huai nodded.

"How did you tell?" Ye Jiu asked curiously.

"It's not for looking, but for smelling." Chu Huai pointed his nose with his finger.

"Smell?" Ye Jiu became even more curious.

"Well, there is a sweet smell on his body." Chu Huai squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was still reminiscing about the smell he just smelled.

"Sweet taste?"

"It's the smell of the alchemist's soul, and nothing can cover it up." Chu Huai smiled meaningfully.

"If an alchemist is behind him, how sure are you of matching him?" Ye Jiu frowned and asked again.

"Don't underestimate your man. In my time, I was a master." Chu Huai raised his eyebrows, raised his chin and said arrogantly.

Chu Huai is not bragging. He was already the top alchemist closest to God 400 years ago. He was only one step away from refining the Philosopher’s Stone. This is not a realm that anyone can achieve. .

And what Chu Huai didn't say was that as early as 400 years ago, he had lived for more than 100 years.

Even if you don't really achieve immortality, you can still maintain youth after living for more than 100 years, which is considered amazing.

So Chu Huai was not worried about meeting his opponent at all. After all, he could tell just by smelling it. The soul power of the opponent was far inferior to his. Although the smell of soul was sweet, it was not strong enough.

But what made Chu Huai curious was the origin of this alchemist. I wonder if the other party, like himself, also came to this era across time and space?
