181- Birth of an Alchemist

Ch181 – Birth of an Alchemist

Lin Xuanzhi reacted particularly quickly. As soon as he judged that the noise had originated from the adjacent room, he had already moved before his brain processed anything, rushing straight out of his room without even wearing shoes, and heading straight into Yan Tianhen’s room.

Even the door to Yan Tianhen’s room had been sent flying by the explosion, and half the walls had collapsed. Ah Bai and Hu Po were currently standing on the beam as they trembled in horror, evidently having suffered a huge shock.

Greatly alarmed, Lin Xuanzhi looked around and saw that underneath a broken table lay an intact Yan Tianhen.

“Ah Hen!” Lin Xuanzhi’s heart almost stopped beating. He flung the broken table away with his bare hands and pressed against Yan Tianhen’s neck, his face paling considerably as all the colour had drained from his face.

“Cough cough cough…” Yan Tianhen suddenly moved and started coughing like mad.

Lin Xuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He felt like he had made a trip to the gates of hell before coming back to life again.

Yan Tianhen got up from the floor with Lin Xuanzhi’s support. His face was covered in soot, and only his pair of big eyes could be seen.

Most of the hair on his head was even burnt.

Lin Xuanzhi’s heart ached greatly and he drew Yan Tianhen close to hug him tight. He spoke hoarsely, “Ah Hen, are you insistent on scaring Gege to death? You scared Gege to death, how could you scare me like that?”

Yan Tianhen had gotten a fright at first and hadn’t snapped out of his daze yet when he was suddenly frightened by Lin Xuanzhi’s reaction as well.

But this time, he quickly pulled back his mind, which was still wandering, and hugged Lin Xuanzhi back. He nudged against Lin Xuanzhi, “I’m okay, Dage, just that my furnace exploded. It didn’t hurt me much, these clothes blocked all of the impact…Dage, don’t worry.”

Lin Xuanzhi took a deep breath to calm the intense emotions of interchanging sorrow and joy he felt.

He held Yan Tianhen in his arms and didn’t let go, simply remaining silent such that no one knew what he was thinking.

Guests who were awakened were already crowding outside Yan Tianhen’s room. The inn’s boss rushed over with a few waiters as well, and called out–

“What’s the matter? What happened?”

“Aiya oh my God, how did the room become like this?”

“Did something go wrong during cultivation?”

Yan Tianhen could feel Lin Xuanzhi tremble almost imperceptibly and tears pooled in his eyes instantly. He sobbed, “It’s all Ah Hen’s fault, Ah Hen shouldn’t have tried to refine pills in secret, I shouldn’t have blown up the room, I shouldn’t have let Dage worry…wuwuwu…”

Lin Xuanzhi’s heart ached when he heard Yan Tianhen sobbing. He realised that he had overreacted, which influenced Yan Tianhen’s mood, so he immediately restrained himself and pulled Yan Tianhen’s small face. He took out a handkerchief and helped Yan Tianhen wipe off the pieces of gold and furnace dust from his face, then said quietly to placate him, “Ah Hen, don’t cry, Dage has no intention of blaming you.”

Yan Tianhen looked at Lin Xuanzhi with teary eyes and pursed his lips. “But I blew up the pill furnace you gave me.”

“The pill furnace doesn’t matter much, Dage will craft a few more for you. Ah Hen can blow up as many of them as you want.”
