005 Elixirs

At this moment,Master Danyang didn't care what Li Huowang was thinking at all.He was scolding his terrified apprentices.

"From now on,if anyone has any evil intentions,remember what you've seen today!"

Master Danyang's words made everyone's hearts skip a beat,and the fear in their eyes grew even stronger.

With his hands behind his back,he paced slowly in front of his apprentices.His eagle-like eyes scanned across everyone's faces.

"Let me tell you,helping others become immortals is a great merit.If I become an immortal,I won't forget your good deeds.But if anyone ruins my plans!Humph!"

Right after he finished speaking,he suddenly stopped in front of Li Huowang and sized up this young man whose expression was different from the other apprentices.

"I'm not afraid of you,a mere hallucination!You're just a thought in my head!"Thinking of this,Li Huowang stared calmly into the eyes of his scabby-headed master.

When Master Danyang raised his right hand,with dirt under his fingernails,the atmosphere in the cave became rather tense.Everyone's eyes turned to this senior brother who dared to offend the master,waiting to see how the master would deal with him.

Unexpectedly,Master Danyang's expression suddenly relaxed.He placed his raised right hand on Li Huowang's head and patted it gently.The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated without a trace.

"Those traitors invited you to leave with them last night.Why didn't you go?"

This question seemed to be addressed to Li Huowang,but in fact,it was a compliment to him.

Just as Li Huowang was about to speak,he saw Master Danyang raise his right hand to stop him."Don't say any empty words.Although you didn't report to me in time,compared with those unruly apprentices,you're already quite good."

He lowered his hand and continued,"I think you have good talent.You don't have to work in the supply room anymore.From now on,you'll be my registered disciple."

Li Huowang was stunned.Had his status been promoted?But he quickly realized that with so many people dead in the cave,this guy must be short of helpers.

"By the way,since you've become my disciple and joined our sect,you can't do without a Taoist name.From now on,your Taoist name will be Xuanyang."

Li Huowang glanced at the round hole in the corner.The tragic fate of the previous Xuanyang flashed through his mind.He thought to himself,"Wow,what an unlucky name."

Although Li Huowang didn't really care about this treatment,the others in the supply room immediately had bright eyes and were extremely envious.Becoming a registered disciple of Master Danyang meant they wouldn't have to die.

But in Master Danyang's opinion,this wasn't enough.After the big stick,he had to offer more carrots to keep people in line."Xuanyang,since you've just joined our sect,I should give you something as a gesture."

Hearing his name being called,Li Huowang quickly walked to his side.Judging from the tone,it seemed that he was going to receive a gift.

Master Danyang poured out five pitch-black elixirs from the gourd on his waist and placed them in Li Huowang's palm.

"Hold them tightly.These five elixirs are the divine pills I refined.Eating them can not only add ten years to your lifespan but also temporarily grant you great strength to protect yourself."

Li Huowang frowned slightly and held the elixirs in front of him."Don't tell me these things are also made from people?"

Just as he was thinking this,Li Huowang suddenly saw one of the elixirs in his hand roll slightly,changing from a round shape to an oval.It seemed that there was something trying to get out of it.

But when he took a closer look,he found that the elixir hadn't changed at all.

"Damn it,am I going crazy?Why do I care about things in a hallucination?It's all fake.I mustn't get trapped in it again."

Li Huowang angrily slapped his own head.

Master Danyang ignored Li Huowang's strange behavior and turned to look at the remaining people."See?Those who oppose me are doomed,but those who help me will be handsomely rewarded!"

Everyone's eyes darted nervously between Master Danyang and the elixirs.At this moment,everyone was lost in thought,but only they themselves knew what they were thinking.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved,Master Danyang waved his filthy long sleeve and told everyone to disperse and continue working.

Now Li Huowang didn't have to go to the supply room anymore.Since his Taoist name was Xuanyang,he would inherit everything that the previous Xuanyang had,including status,Taoist robe,and even the small private cave.

However,Li Huowang didn't really care about what happened in this hallucination.He was more concerned about what he had gained.

With his arms crossed,he looked at two things on the white hospital bedsheet:the jade pendant and the elixirs.

"My god,I actually brought them all out."

But now Li Huowang was in a dilemma.An old problem once again confronted him.

"If I take these elixirs out and they really work after I eat them,then is this place really just a hallucination?What on earth is going on with me?"

Previously,he had really followed the doctor's advice seriously and firmly regarded everything there as a hallucination.But these things were right in front of him,and his heart began to waver.

If it was really a hallucination,then what made these things turn into physical objects,and what harm would they bring to him?

If that was another world,then...

The images of the crazy senior sister being turned into an elixir by the master and Xuanyang being swallowed by the black cauldron flashed through his mind one after another,making him breathe rapidly.

"Ah!So annoying.I don't even have anyone to discuss this with."Frustrated Li Huowang grabbed his own head with both hands.

After venting his frustration,Li Huowang still had to face the problem.After thinking for a long time,he finally decided on his coping strategy.

Whether the hallucination was real or fake,he would still cooperate as much as possible,just as if it were real.

If it turned out to be real,he could ensure his own safety.

If it was fake,he wouldn't suffer any losses.

For now,he would first test the authenticity and value of these things he had brought out and then make further plans.

After deciding on the strategy,Li Huowang took a deep breath,picked up an elixir with his index finger and thumb,and held it in front of his eyes.

"No,it's too dangerous to take it myself."His eyes turned to the patients sunbathing in the garden outside.

After only a second of hesitation,he dejectedly put the elixir down.They were just as pitiful as him.How could he let them test the medicine?He'd find a way to get a white mouse later.

Then Li Huowang turned his attention to the round jade pendant.Compared with the elixirs,it would be much easier to deal with this thing.

"Come on,tell me what's up.I climbed over the wall to get here.If it's a prank,humph!"Yang Na clenched her fair little fist and threatened Li Huowang.

"Sis,I had no other choice but to ask you for help.You know I can't get out at all."As Li Huowang said,he walked to the ward door,closed it,and drew the curtains.
