I became a master of alchemy by picking up trash

The one-armed man couldn't help but be curious when he saw Li Xing holding a book, his eyebrows sometimes raised and sometimes relaxed, as if he had encountered something difficult to decide.

"Girl, is it possible that you have seen a three-eyed insect with your own eyes?"

Li Xing closed the book and nodded. "I've seen it."

"Oh? So this is not a story made up by Song Ling Sanren." The one-armed man scratched his hair, and the mud in his nails became thicker.

"So, the three-eyed worm really feeds on human brains?"

Li Xing shook his head: "I don't know about that. When I saw the three-eyed insect, it was already dead."

The one-armed man rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "A dead insect would make you come to the library to check historical materials so persistently? Tell me honestly, what is so weird about a three-eyed insect?"

Li Xing sighed and said helplessly: "Senior, things are really not as complicated as you think! At first, I was just curious and wanted to find out the scientific name of the three-eyed insect, but I didn't know that I couldn't find it in the Star Beast Illustrated Book and the school library. I found relevant information. But the more I couldn’t find it, the more curious I became, and I even started to doubt my own eyes, so I checked here.”

The one-armed man looked at Li Xing. The latter did not dodge or flinch in his majestic gaze. The one-armed man had no choice but to believe her words.

"Hmph, now that we've found it, let's get out quickly."

"Yes." Li Xing returned the book with both hands and turned to leave.But before he took two steps, the voice of the one-armed man sounded again behind him.

"return--!"

Li Xing turned around and looked at the one-armed man in confusion. "Senior, do you have any other instructions?"

The one-armed man's expression at this time can be described as excited. He raised his left hand and pointed at Li Xing's head, and said in a trembling voice: "You, the hairpin you are wearing on your head, is it Yueying?"

In order to make it easier to flip through the book, Li Xing casually pulled her hair into a low bun and fixed it with a moon cherry hairpin. When she left, the back of her head was facing the one-armed man, and he saw her.

"Yes."

The one-armed man took a step closer, less than an arm's length away from Li Xing. Li Xing found that his whole body was trembling, and the emotions in his eyes were both exciting and fearful.

"C-can I take a closer look?"

"Oh... okay." Li Xing took off the hairpin and handed it to the one-armed man. "Senior please."

The one-armed man reached out to take it, but quickly retracted it. He wiped it again and again on the robe that was so dirty that the actual color could not be seen. In the end, he did not touch the Yue Ying hairpin, but looked carefully at Li Xing's hand. stand up.

After a while, the one-armed man asked in a hoarse voice: "Where did you get this hairpin?"

"It was the moon cherry tree from my friend's cousin's house... that was given to me." Li Xing's words seemed outrageous to a second person, but the one-armed man nodded after hearing them.

"This kind of flower that is several times larger than ordinary Yueying flowers is called Yueying Baohua. It will only bloom if Yueying is willing to do so. Those who do not get Yueying's approval will never have the chance to see it in their lifetime."

Yueying Baohua is a personal character appraiser. Its freshness can determine the character of the holder.

The Yueying Baohua in this girl's hand looks as fresh as a freshly cut flower, which fully proves that she has a pure heart and good conduct.

"It is said that Yueying Baohua has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, but because it is so rare, no one has confirmed it so far."

The one-armed man's eyes moved from the Yueying hairpin to Li Xing's face. "Yue Ying gave Yue Ying Baohua to you. You must have done something to make it very grateful. You probably saved its life. Thank you, thank you!"

The one-armed man's eyes were red, and Li Xing could see that he was trying to suppress his emotions and prevent himself from crying.

"Senior, why do you want to thank me?" Li Xing wondered whether she could save Yueying or not. Does it have anything to do with him being a tower guard?

"That friend of yours is named Ye, right? His cousin is Chu Yunyi." "Huh?"

Li Xing opened his eyes wide and looked at the one-armed man again.

Although he is slovenly and dirty, he has a tall and straight figure, bright eyes, and a strong wood spirit exuding from his body. His mental strength is not weak. Before becoming a tower guard, he was probably a healer.

As a healer, he knew Yue Ying's habits and knew that the Chu family planted a Yue Ying tree, so the identity of this person could be revealed.

"You, you are—?"

The one-armed man gave a wry smile: "Yes, I am Ning Yu."

Ning Yu is Ye Lan's white moonlight, able to capture the heart of the most beautiful woman in Qianyuan. Li Xing feels that even if he is not as beautiful as Pan An, he is not much different.Unexpectedly, "Bai Yueguang" is now as slovenly as a beggar, with a beard all over his face and no appearance. This really shocks and surprises Li Xing.

Li Xing's eyes were so obvious that Ning Yu also felt embarrassed. He stretched out his hand to comb his hair, but there was no big change.

"Senior, why did you become a tower guard?"

Everyone in Qianyuan Continent knew that Ning Yu, the Great Healer, had fallen into a state of decline and could no longer refine the God-Returning Drink, but Li Xing never imagined that this state of decline turned out to mean that he had broken an arm.

Ning Yu sighed slightly: "It's a long story, let's go back to the closed area."

Li Xing looked around and happened to meet the eyes of several people who were secretly spying on him.Li Xing glared at them angrily and followed Ning Yu back to the closed area again.

Arriving at the small lounge dedicated to Ning Yu, Li Xing was shocked to find that the furnishings here were ridiculously simple. The tables and chairs were all made of broken wooden strips, and a quilt placed in the corner served as a bed.Several wooden boards were cut on the wall to make shelves, and some bottles and cans that were so dirty that the color could not be seen were placed on them.

Ning Yu wiped the only wooden chair with his sleeves and motioned for Li Xing to sit down, while he sat cross-legged on the ground.Looking at the empty desktop, Ning Yu felt quite embarrassed.

"Tea... is already hairy. How about I get you a glass of water?"

Li Xing quickly waved his hand. The cups on the shelf didn't look as clean as Cui Tianxiao's footbath, so he didn't dare to drink from them.

"I haven't asked your name yet."

"Senior, my name is Li Xing."

Ning Yu nodded: "Li Xing, Dawn Star, what a good name! Don't call me senior. Since you are Qing Ting's friend, just like him, call me Uncle Ning."

"it is good."

Even Yueying trusted Li Xing's character, so Ning Yu naturally had no reservations about her and told her exactly why he became the tower guard.

"Eighteen years ago, I sneaked into the Chu family and rescued Xiao Lan. The two of us wanted to find an uninhabited island to live a secluded life, but Chu Yu and his men caught up with us. Lan'er was taken back to the Chu family, and I One of his arms was cut off by Chu Yu and he was escorted to the Presbytery."

"Uncle Ning, is it possible that you entered the tower because of a crime? But the crime is not that serious."

Only felons who were sentenced to death or sentenced to life imprisonment could enter the tower to serve in the form of atonement. With an identity like Ning Yu's, and his attempted abduction of a wife, the most he could receive was criticism and education.

Ning Yu showed a self-deprecating smile: "Chu Yu said that I destroyed the loyalty relic of the first head of the Chu family, which is tantamount to digging a grave. This crime is enough to sentence me to death."

The Danxin relic is the crystal formed after the human body is cremated. It is not a treasure, but it has great symbolic significance.For the Qianyuan people who attach great importance to human relations, filial piety and blood inheritance, destroying the remains of their ancestors is an unforgivable felony.

If he does something solid, even if Chu Yu doesn't pursue the case, the other Chu clan members will not let Ning Yu go.
