I think you're Dying.

“Elder Qin? Elder Qin?! Elder Qin...”

The next morning, Qin Ran was woken up by someone calling his name. He opened his eyes to see that it was Feng Feiyan.

“Elder Qin?” Feng Feiyan gently called him. Seeing that he was awake, she smiled and said, “Come, I got some sober-up soup made for you. Please drink it to sober up!”

She was really gentle and intelligent. Her smile was especially charming.

Qin Ran did get drunk last night. At the moment, his head was pounding. Seeing Feng Feiyan's smile, he couldn't help but stare blankly.

...Who would have thought that such a gentle and intelligent lady would also have a vicious heart?

"Elder Qin?" Seeing Qin Ran staring at her, Feng Feiyan's cheeks turned red. She called Qin Ran again.

Only then did Qin Ran come back to his senses. He smiled and asked, "Is it already the next day?"

"Yes! It's morning now." Feng Feiyan replied, bringing the sober-up soup to Qin Ran's mouth. "This is a sober-up soup made by the alchemists of Zhican Valley. Why don't you try it, Elder Qin?"

Qin Ran felt like he was being treated like a child, having to drink medicine. He quickly sat up and took the soup from Feng Feiyan, taking a small sip himself.

"Not bad." He smiled at Feng Feiyan, thinking to himself that this must be the legendary charm!

"Why does the Elder keep looking at me?" Feng Feiyan shyly turned away.

"Oh, sorry about that." Qin Ran quickly apologized, taking another sip of the nice sober-up soup. Such good poison!

He wondered what Feng Feiyan and Elder Sun were thinking, trying to poison him with this fusion poison right in front of him. If not for the sober-up soup itself being non-poisonous, mixing it with Feng Feiyan's perfume would have created a strong poison. Did they not tell him that he was also an alchemist?

As he thought about it, Qin Ran drank down the entire bowl of soup. He handed the bowl back to Feng Feiyan and praised again, "What a good soup, as expected from an alchemist."

Feng Feiyan took back the bowl and hugged it to her chest, smiling brightly and said, "Elder, please get up now. We'll go inspect the pills first, then head back to Dao Sword Sect."

Qin Ran looked over. Feng Feiyan's breasts were even bigger than the bowl she was hugging to her chest, surging like waves that stirred his heart. He couldn't help but shake his head with two quiet sighs.

Feng Feiyan left the room, still hugging the bowl. Qin Ran got dressed and walked to the window after getting out of bed. Looking out at the fairyland view of Zhican Valley, he let out a sigh despite the beautiful world.

After washing up and tidying his appearance, Qin Ran walked out the door to the stone roads outside. He asked someone for directions and soon arrived at the tower where they were drinking last night.

This tower was basically the cafeteria of Zhican Valley. Dao Sword Sect also had a similar place on its main peak, but Qin Ran had never been there.

Some disciples were having breakfast inside the tower. Qin Ran went to the window and ordered some high-quality breakfast as an elder, then found a nice spot to sit down and eat.

As he was eating, he suddenly heard someone say to him, "Brother, you're going to die!"

Hearing this, he looked up to see a slovenly young man with a big beard, messy hair, skinny figure, and ill-fitting clothes talking to him. The only striking feature were his bright eyes.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Qin Ran asked with a laugh.

Since this person had started a conversation, he sat down right away. Leaning one hand on the table and stroking his chin with the other, he carefully looked over Qin Ran, his expression growing more solemn. He said, "Firstly, your body is frail. Secondly, your soul is weak. Thirdly...you seem to be poisoned."

Not bad, he really knew some things.

"Is there a cure?" Qin Ran casually asked, then continued eating.

"I can solve the frail body and poison, but my level of cultivation is not enough to improve your soul," the young man with the beard said. "And the body and soul are interconnected. To solve it we must solve both, so I can't do anything for your frail body yet. I can only help you detoxify the poison."

"You can cure poison?" Qin Ran gave the bearded man some of his food and asked, "Tell me first, what poison did I get infected with?"

The bearded man took the food and started eating. He said, "It's a latent poison that needs a primer to activate. This kind of poison is probably made from Xueyu flowers, venom of the Hengshan ring snakes..."

"What are you doing here?" Just as he was explaining, an angry shout suddenly came from the side. "How will you make up for disturbing this honored guest?"

Qin Ran looked over to see that it was Elder Sun.

As soon as he saw Elder Sun, the bearded young man scurried away like a rat seeing a cat, grabbing the food from the table as he scrambled out.

Elder Sun glared at his receding figure, then turned back to Qin Ran with a smile. "Please pardon me for letting Elder Qin see such an embarrassing scene. He is an outer disciple of our valley. Extremely lacking in talent, but has some talent in medicine. Always acting crazily—many people detest him."

"Oh, he's harmless." Qin Ran smiled and said, "His medical knowledge is actually quite good. We were just discussing alchemy."

"What does he know!" Elder Sun said.

The bearded youth had taken most of the food on the table. Seeing the nearly empty table, Elder Sun quickly asked Qin Ran, "Does the Elder need more food?"

Qin Ran shook his head. "I've already eaten a lot. This will do, no need for more."

Then Elder Sun said, "Then shall we go inspect the pills now!"

As he spoke, Elder Sun brought Qin Ran to meet with the same five people from last night. They quickly made their way through the valley to a tower that stored pills.

After all, this was an alchemy sect. The pill storage tower was exceptionally tall—seven or eight stories high. Elder Sun brought Qin Ran into a floor of the tower. Right there in the main hall, he took a temporary storage bag off a table. With a thought, he took out over a dozen bags of pills and several bags of medicinal ingredients.

"Here are the pills your sect requires—Yuanyuan Pills, Yuyin Pills, Break Barrier Pills... all here." Elder Sun gestured to Qin Ran with a gleeful smile and said, "Elder Qin, please inspect as you wish!"

"Then I won't hold back at all." Qin Ran laughed and cupped a fist in salute. Then he crouched down to open up a bag of Yuanyuan Pills.

Seeing Qin Ran was really going to inspect the pills, Elder Sun's eyes clearly flashed with an icy cold glare. But his smile remained as he said, "Go ahead, as you should."

Qin Ran opened the bag, picked up a Yuanyuan Pill and first inspected its appearance. His face slowly tensed up as he carefully looked over the pill again. Then he turned back to Elder Sun with a smile. "Elder, did you get the pills mixed up?"

"Mixed up?" Elder Sun's expression drastically changed. He quickly crouched down to pretend to inspect them himself, before angrily shouting, "Which disciple was in charge of packing these—how could they have packed some inferior quality pills‽"

"It was the medicine servant who packed them, Elder." A disciple replied.

"What does a medicine servant know about pills?" Elder Sun yelled furiously. "Expel the medicine servant from the sect! Demote his master to a regular disciple!"

"Yes!"

By now, Qin Ran had inspected the medicinal ingredients as well. His face was also filled with bitterness as he said, "Elder, I'm afraid these medicinal ingredients were incorrectly packed as well."

What a mess! They didn't even dare cheat with the ingredients at first. But now that Qin Ran had come to inspect them himself, they had added in fake ingredients too!

Elder Sun was now furious beyond control. He shouted loudly, "Expel them from the sect! Expel that disciple from the sect too!!!"
