Master Keats broke the large ball of black pills in his hand into one large and one small. The larger one was two-thirds of the size. After wrapping it with leaves, he put it in his arms. Then he divided the smaller one into nine pieces, and rubbed it into nine pills the size of a bean with his hands. After wrapping it with leaves, he handed it to Tianlang.

"Fortunately, I have received the help of the donor, otherwise I would have missed the achievements I have worked hard to create for several generations of respected teachers. To express my gratitude, I would like to give them to you with this elixir, and I hope to accept it with a smile."

Tianlang refused for a few years, so he had to accept it and wrap it in cloth. Seeing that Tianlang had taken the pill, Keats was very happy and said, "Don't underestimate this thing. This is the secret recipe of this sect. According to the master's words, this pill has very powerful effects. If you take a small pill, your internal strength can improve your cultivation for twenty years. Remember: a person can only take three pills at most, and it cannot exceed five pills within a year. This is the limit that the human body can bear."

"Of course, if the internal strength or vital energy is severely damaged, you can take this pill immediately to seek rapid recovery. This pill can also treat critically ill patients who are on the verge of life, and has the effect of bringing back the dead." Keats added. His thinking is clear and his expression is smooth. It seems that after obtaining the pill, he has recovered a lot.

"I was taken in by my master when I was young and traveled around with my master to consult and apply medicine to poor patients in the world. I was responsible for transporting the storage medicine box, sorting medicinal materials, etc., because of my lack of talent, I failed to learn the master's skills." Keats said regretfully.

"Where is the Taoist priest's light skills, it's far beyond the reach of a human being. Why is it that he doesn't have any effort to be humble?" Tianlang asked curiously.

"This is nothing. I just learned some basic skills from my master. It was because I often went to the mountains to collect herbs, but I couldn't keep up with his whereabouts. I also missed and fell from time to time, so I taught me some of the skills of light climbing. I was stupid and didn't learn so well that I made the donor laugh at me."

Tianlang thought to himself, what kind of person is this Master Keats? He only learned some tricks around him, and he had such excellent skills. It can be seen how profound and unpredictable the master's kung fu accomplishments are. He is a paradise who cares about the world and saves the world and the people. So how can he harm others, let alone harm the emperor and become a sinner?

"Then how did your master encounter misfortune?" Tianlang interrupted Keats and raised the previous topic again.

"Oh, I don't know the reason for this." Keats sighed and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he continued, "I was an orphan in the village of Wulukou, Zhongyuan. I was framed by the villagers and almost killed as a fox demon. I happened to meet my master passing by here, breaking the evil man's plan and saving my life." Keats said when he recalled the past.

"I was helpless, so I decided to follow my master. Seeing that I was pitiful, my master took me in. I was only thirteen years old that year. Later, I followed my master and two of his disciples to travel around the world, saving all living beings, and walked through many places. I walked all the way to the capital, and lived in a Taoist temple called Tianshi Cave in the suburbs. Soon, my master was invited to the palace by the official to treat people's illness. The master took his two disciples to the palace and asked me to stay in the temple and take care of the medicinal materials, luggage and other items he brought with me. Later I learned that my master was called to treat the seriously ill emperor."

"There has been a few days since my master went there for more than ten days. Suddenly one day, several officials sent by the court came to the Taoist temple to find me, saying that the master asked me to bring some medicines and go to the palace with them. Strangely, these medicines were brought by the master when he went out, but I didn't dare to neglect them. After sorting the medicinal materials, I followed them into the palace and met the master."

"I don't expect that when my master saw me, he made a big splash, calling me stupid and ignorant, and couldn't teach me, saying that this is the medicine for your senior brother. What do you do when you get it here? It's useless, and you'll drive me out of the master and let me get out!" Recalling the scene at that time, Keats was still in a little uncomfortable mood.

Tianlang asked curiously: "What medicine did the master ask you to bring? Did you get it wrong?"

"How is it possible? The official gave me the master's handwritten medicine list, which reads: Shayuanzi, Poria, Sijiqing, and Junbocao. I just took the medicine as I did. I have been following my master for many years to get medicine, how could I make a mistake?" Keats said with grievance.

"Just just as I was full of suspicion and at a loss, my master approached me and whispered to me, 'My destiny will be lost. You can leave here quickly and take care of the alchemy furnace to fulfill the teacher's wishes.' After that, he quietly stuffed a note into my palm, then hit me several feet away with a palm, scolded me several meters away, and asked me to get out. I was shocked and scared for a moment and collapsed to the ground. Later, the two guards dragged them out and threw them outside the palace gate." Keats still looked frightened when he recalled the scene back then.

"I stayed in the capital for ten days, and later I saw dozens of heads hanging on the wall of the palace, including my master's head. I also posted a notice saying that the rebel minister Chu family, colluded with the rebel party, tyrants the lord, and rebelled, etc. I don't know what the master had to do with the royal family, and I was implicated, so I didn't dare to inquire about it. At that time, the capital was in a panic and arrested the rebel party everywhere, so I had to leave in a hurry. According to the address marked on the note left by my master, I found the alchemy furnace, and then stayed in the deep mountains, protecting the furnace and refining the alchemy, and twenty years were almost over." Recalling the past, Keats seemed extremely melancholy, and his eyes were blurred.

Unexpectedly, this Taoist priest had such a strange experience. His master's misfortune was related to the royal family, the palace revolution, and the execution of the Chu family. However, this Taoist priest did not know the causal relationship.

Tianlang sighed in his heart, and he asked Keats again: "Where are your two senior brothers? Are there no whereabouts?"

"It must have been killed with the master, and even the corpse was not seen." Keats replied dejectedly.

"Then what the senior brother your master mentioned, have you never looked for him?" Tianlang asked.

"I entered the Tao when I was young and have never heard of any senior brother since I followed my master. I just heard that my master had saved a boy and taught him for a few years. Later, I left and didn't know where to go. This person may be the so-called senior brother, but I have never seen him and I don't know his name."

"Then why did your master say that the medicinal materials are for the eldest brother? Maybe it was a hint that you went to find the eldest brother, and he might know something." Tianlang speculated.

After hearing Tianlang say this, Keats suddenly realized: "Yes, why didn't I expect it? Master said that suddenly that way back then, probably because it was a point, but it was hard to say it clearly. He clearly asked for the medicine, but he said that I had made a mistake, saying that it was the medicine for the elder brother, and that it was meant to ask me to hand over the medicine to the elder brother? Is it right?"

"Yes." Tianlang nodded and said, "It can be understood this way."

Keats suddenly slammed his head with his palm and said loudly: "I'm so stupid. I didn't even understand what the master meant. When you say this, I've realized it a little."

"Okay, now the task of alchemy has been completed, so I have time to find my senior brother. At that time, I will hand over those medicines to him to see if he knows the master's intention or the reason." Keats was a little happy again, and he bowed to Tianlang and said, "Thank you for your advice. I have helped me a lot when I met you."

"You don't have to be polite, I should also thank you for giving me your rare elixir." Tianlang also bowed and said, "It's getting late, and I have to continue rushing to go. I will leave with the Taoist priest. If you have a fate, there will be a date in the future!"
