Luo Yuanbai, who had been smiling as he greeted them, was slightly stunned. However, he looked at Luo Tian'ao and quickly understood what had happened. It seemed that Luo Tian'ao had told Qin Ming that Zhang Xuan had given him the inner core to resolve the backlash from the broken cauldron. Qin Ming was here to 'denounce' him!
Luo Yuanbai thought about it for a moment and did not intervene. On the one hand, it was because this concerned his daughter. Luo Yuanbai had no reason not to do it for his daughter's sake. On the other hand, it was because of Zhang Xuan's attitude. Since Zhang Xuan was so confident, there must be some misunderstanding.
Based on Luo Yuanbai's understanding of Qin Ming, after the misunderstanding was resolved, Qin Ming would naturally apologize to Zhang Xuan generously. There would most likely not be any conflict between the two of them.
Similarly, seeing that Zhang Xuan did not object, Qin Ming was also greatly surprised in his heart. If Zhang Xuan had shown a guilty look, Qin Ming would have been even angrier. After dealing with Luo Jiutian, he would have taught this lying "Mr. Zhang" a lesson. But Zhang Xuan's indifferent appearance instead made Qin Ming have some thoughts in his heart.
Could it be that this young Mister Zhang had really developed a pill that could break the cauldron?!
Of course, it was impossible to come up with a result just by thinking about it. He only needed to try. Since Zhang Xuan had spoken, Luo Jiutian naturally didn't suspect anything. She obediently sat down and allowed Old Mister Qin Ming to take his pulse.
Qin Ming gently placed his hand on Luo Jiutian's pulse and felt it with a solemn expression. After a while, his expression changed. At first, he was solemn, then he was a little puzzled, and finally, he was shocked.
During this process, Qin Ming kept turning his head to look at Zhang Xuan who was calmly sipping tea at the side. He was indescribably surprised in his heart.
Luo Jiutian's pulse was strong and vigorous! It was obvious that there was no problem. Not only that, but he seemed to be in a better state than usual!
When Qin Ming withdrew his hand, his face had already changed to a respectful appearance.
"Mr. Zhang, please forgive me for my rudeness just now!"
Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "You're also worried about Nine Heavens 'safety, so how could I be dissatisfied?"
Hearing this, Luo Tian'ao heaved a sigh of relief.
Luo Yuanbai laughed out loud and pulled Qin Ming's hand to sit down.
"Brother Qin, you're worrying too much. Mr. Zhang is a man of great talent. Otherwise, why would I make today's apprenticeship banquet so grand? If Mr. Zhang is lacking in talent and knowledge, wouldn't it be a disgrace to me, Luo Yuanbai?"
Qin Ming nodded slightly when he heard that. Indeed. He had attended the Luo family's apprenticeship banquets to celebrate. Other than the first time, which was the apprenticeship banquet where Qin Ming took Luo Tian'ao as his disciple, he had never seen the Luo family hold such a big apprenticeship banquet before. Just from this point alone, it could be seen that the Luo family truly admired Zhang Xuan.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming carefully sized up Zhang Xuan. Not only did he have a handsome appearance, but he also had a strategizing temperament before he raised his hand. On the surface, his cultivation did not seem to be high, but he also had a very confident aura.
The more Qin Ming looked, the more he nodded. Obviously, Luo Yuanbai was not exaggerating. This Mister Zhang Xuan was indeed a rare talent. Just from the fact that he was able to develop an antidote, it was enough to see a little.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming cupped his hands and respectfully asked: "Mr. Zhang's talent is outstanding and his heart is so broad. There's just one thing that I don't understand."
Zhang Xuan smiled and waved the folding fan in his hand. He nodded and replied: "Mr. Qin, just speak frankly. I will tell you everything I know."
Qin Ming then asked: "The recipe for the Broken Cauldron Pill was concocted by me alone. Even though I gave Tian'ao three pills, I never gave him the pill formula. How did you manage to concoct this Nirvana Antidote without a pill formula?"
Qin Ming's words weren't questioning Zhang Xuan, but he was sincerely asking shamelessly. Luo Tian'ao and the others were naturally curious about this question. They looked at Zhang Xuan carefully, waiting for his answer.
However, Zhang Xuan sipped his tea unhurriedly before speaking: "The effect of the Cauldron Breaking Pill is to speed up the circulation of inner strength in the meridians, thereby obtaining an incomparably powerful strength in a short period of time. The backlash from the blockade of the meridians is also the same reason. It is precisely because of the excessive overdraft of the meridians in a short period of time that the situation of blockage occurs."
Qin Ming listened carefully and nodded slightly. It had to be said that there was no problem with Zhang Xuan's analysis. However, Zhang Xuan's next words made Qin Ming reveal a surprised expression.
"There are a total of 326 medicinal herbs in the world that can temporarily increase the speed of internal strength circulation."
"And the effect of the broken cauldron is so powerful that it definitely won't use vulgar medicinal herbs.
"Among these 326 medicinal ingredients, there are a total of 13 that have the most obvious effects."
Zhang Xuan's expression was indifferent, but his mouth did not pause at all. He spoke of a medicinal ingredient as if he was counting his family's treasures.
Just this knowledge alone was enough to surprise Qin Ming. What he said next made Qin Ming even more surprised.
"Other than increasing the circulation of internal strength, I also need to increase the strength of my meridians in a short period of time. Only then can I withstand the temporary increase in the circulation of internal strength."
"There are a total of eighty-nine medicines in the world that can have this effect.
"Among them, there are only eight herbs that are more effective.
"Among these eight medicinal ingredients and the thirteen medicinal ingredients just now, there are nine medicinal properties that conflict with each other.
"If these nine medicinal ingredients are refined into the same medicinal pill, not only will it not achieve the expected effect, but it may even produce a lethal poison.
"Therefore, as long as you remove these nine medicinal ingredients, the remaining twelve medicinal ingredients will be the formula for the broken cauldron.
"Since we know the formula, it won't be difficult to make the antidote."
After hearing this, the shock in Qin Ming's heart was already indescribable. To be able to deduce the formula just from the medicinal effects, this kind of ability, Qin Ming knew that he couldn't do it! And after knowing the formula, he would definitely be able to make an antidote. Qin Ming knew that he couldn't do it.
Right now, he only felt as if ants were crawling in his heart, and it was unbearable! Because he really wanted to know how Zhang Xuan concocted this antidote. However, it was not convenient for him to ask for the specific formula.
After all, every pill formula was extremely precious. How could he show it to others so easily?
However, just as Qin Ming was feeling extremely depressed, Zhang Xuan smiled. He took out a piece of paper filled with medicinal herbs from his storage ring and handed it to Qin Ming.
"Mister Qin must have some concerns about this pill formula. Since that's the case, why don't you help me take a look and see if there's anything I can improve on?"
After hearing this, Qin Ming's expression changed again. His gaze toward Zhang Xuan was filled with admiration.
