Chapter 146 The Rumored Elixir of Immortality
Paimon frowned, still not quite understanding:
"Reluctant to die?
Does this have anything to do with him kidnapping Qiqi?"
In response to Paimeng's question, Gu Chen did not answer. Instead, he stretched out his finger and put it in front of his lips, making a hissing sound in the mind communication network.
Suddenly, everyone stopped talking in the mind exchange network.
They followed Gu Chen's gaze and looked in the direction where three generations of the family were sitting.
Maybe they were very confident in their kidnapping methods. Even though Gu Chen had rescued Qiqi for a while, this group of people still didn't notice that Qiqi had disappeared.
In other words, they didn't even look up to check.
Especially the three generations of this family, they are still immersed in the next plans.
After all, Lord Deran's grandson is young and seems to be the most impatient one.
After sitting for a while, he gradually lost his patience:
"Grandpa, how long do we have to wait?"
Lord De Ran, who was sitting on the armchair, slightly widened his narrowed eyes, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes:
"How can you achieve anything great if you're so impatient?"
A light reprimand immediately silenced his grandson, who sat stiffly in his chair, not daring to make a sound.
It is still Lord Deran's son who understands his father.
After looking at his father and then at his son, the middle-aged man said:
“We have to wait a little longer.
When Bai Zhu of Bubulu finds out that his herb-collecting boy has disappeared, he will definitely come out to look for him.
This zombie is extremely important to Bai Zhu, and he will definitely not give up.
Moreover, Bubulu also has a lot of connections.
If Bai Zhu mobilizes these connections to search for zombies, it will be a big trouble for us.
We must make sure that Bai Zhu cannot be found, or that he has given up, before we can continue with our plan."
This grandson's attitude towards his father is obviously different from that towards his grandfather.
I saw Duke Deran's grandson folding his arms, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face:
"Is it necessary to be so cautious? Are we afraid of Nabubulu?"
Duke Deran's son's face turned serious and his eyes glared:
"Have you forgotten the last conflict between our family and Bubulu?
Our family didn't gain any advantage in that conflict!
Even after such a lesson, you still dare to underestimate Bubulu!
You are so short-sighted. How can I trust you with my life from now on?!"
Duke Deran's grandson was stunned, but still a little unconvinced.
He turned his head and muttered softly:
"Still leaving things to me?
How can you have this right? Only my grandfather can let me do things!"
"What are you mumbling about!?"
"nothing!"
Looking at this son who showed little respect to him, the middle-aged man was almost heartbroken. He started nagging again:
"You have such a narrow vision! You see things too short-sightedly!
If our family could have offended Bubulu, we would have done it long ago. Why wait until this zombie came out to collect herbs before capturing her? Aren't there plenty of opportunities in Liyue Harbor?
The reason why I exploited this loophole was mainly because I didn't want to confront Bubulu head-on, and mainly because I didn't want to offend Bai Zhu!
Don't forget that the prescription that helped your grandfather recuperate and prolong his life was prescribed by Baizhu!
If our plan fails, if we still can't make the legendary elixir of immortality using this zombie, your grandfather will have to rely on Baizhu's prescription to stay alive!
You can't even think of something like this, you are unfilial!"
The young man was frightened by the accusation of being unfilial.
De Ran Gong's grandson suddenly didn't dare to sit still. He looked at his grandfather timidly.
He didn't think it was a big deal to be unfilial to his own father.
But he really didn't dare to be unfilial to his grandfather!
After all, this grandson knows that his grandfather's methods can make him suffer a terrible death!
So the young man quickly stood up and apologized to Lord De Ran with great fear and trepidation:
"Grandpa, I was shortsighted! I didn't think it through!
But I absolutely wouldn't dare to be unfilial to Grandpa! Grandpa, you have to believe me!"
Maybe I'm too old to listen to other people chattering in my ears.
Lord Deran glanced at his grandson coldly and said only four words:
"Quiet, sit down."
The young man didn't dare to say a word in reply. He just sat back quietly and remained quiet.
However, the middle-aged man sat in his chair, looking at his son's miserable condition, with a slight smile on his lips, and actually felt a sense of pride.
Looking at his expression, it seems like he is deliberately trying to trick his own son, as if he is just trying to vent his anger!
Gu Chen and others nearby remained invisible throughout the conversation and listened to the conversation between three generations of their family.
After listening and watching, several people looked at each other, feeling sarcastic in their hearts.
The son is not like a son, and the father is not like a father.
Three generations in a family, three generations with only one son. They should have the closest relationship, but they are scheming against each other in private. It is really unbearable to watch!
However, the internal strife among three generations of this family is not the point; the point is their purpose!
They actually want to use Qiqi to refine the so-called elixir of immortality!
The elixir of immortality must be what Duke Deran wants. It seems that he is extremely afraid of death!
This old troublemaker is really evil!
After complaining in his heart, Bai Zhu couldn't help but speak out in the five-person mind communication network:
"The rumored elixir of immortality? Could it be..."
The other four people, including Changsheng, couldn't help but look at Bai Zhu.
Especially Walnut, her eyes were the most vigilant:
"Bai Zhu, you're not really researching something this crazy, are you? You don't really have any ulterior motives towards Qiqi, do you?"
Seeing Hu Tao's vigilant eyes, Bai Zhu smiled bitterly:
"What is Master Hu thinking? How could I be that kind of person?
I did do some research on Qiqi, and I did develop the so-called elixir of immortality.
Ouch, don't look at me like that.
In fact, the so-called elixir of life does not make people immortal through some evil and harmful means.
Instead, it turns people into a...zombie-like state, thereby prolonging their lifespan.
In the final analysis, it is just a semi-finished product that does not live up to its name."
Hearing this, Hu Tao's eyes flickered and she believed it a little.
The main reason was that she had enough understanding of Bai Zhu's character and knew that he was indeed a kind-hearted doctor and would not go that far.
Gu Chen already knew the inside story, so he didn't say anything just now.
Now that the dispute between Baizhu and Hutao was over, he could take advantage of the situation and ask a question in the mind communication network:
"So, the elixir of immortality that three generations of their family have mentioned is the same as your elixir of immortality?"
Bai Zhu smiled and shook his head:
“I think it’s not the same thing.
You all don’t know this.
During the conflict between Bubulu and Duke Deran, in order to neutralize their tactics, I leaked a fake recipe for the elixir of immortality to divert their family's attention.
That prescription was a modification of the real elixir of immortality.
It seems to make sense at first glance, but in reality... it is impossible to achieve.
If you follow that recipe to make the so-called immortality elixir and take it, it will absolutely have no effect!"
