Chapter 201: Chapter 180: Pharmacist Huang
"I don't feel safe..."
Tao Yu and his two companions had each changed into a new set of clothes under the guidance of the deaf and mute servant. Compared to Cheng Lixue and Zhang Hao, who appeared quite natural in their attire, Tao Yu, dressed as a scholar, looked even more handsome and out of this world.
However, the lack of the thick feeling of a bulletproof vest left him feeling somewhat empty inside.
"Actually, with 'Demonization' as an emergency power, it's not a big deal not to wear a bulletproof vest, but I'm just not used to it..."
After some thought, Tao Yu ended up wearing the Inner Scales Armor underneath his long scholar's robe. The sense of protection around his chest and abdomen was very reassuring.
"Anyway, the robe is quite loose; you can't tell from the outside."
Feeling much more at ease, Tao Yu was quite satisfied as he looked at himself in the bronze mirror.
This room and the clothes he had changed into, whose were they? Guo Jing probably didn't wear scholar's attire, did he?
However, Tao Yu didn't think too much about it; having clothes to wear was enough for him.
After leaving the room, he also saw Cheng Lixue and Zhang Hao, who had also changed their outfits.
Cheng Lixue was still in a suit of white martial arts attire, but the fabric was of much finer quality, though it was a bit too small and closely-fitted.
Zhang Hao, on the other hand, seemed to have changed into a coarse cloth outfit typical for a servant.
It had to be said, the eccentric Huang Yaoshi seemed to have a bit of a preference for good looks when selecting people based on their appearance.

The ancient-style attire Tao Yu wore also caught Cheng Lixue and Zhang Hao's attention.
"Brother Tao truly has a noble air. The previous attire did not do you justice,"
Zhang Hao said with a hint of envy in his praise.
With his wide shoulders and burly build, he too wished for such a demeanor but alas, he could not imitate it.
"You don't understand appreciation, let's go."
Tao Yu gestured to the deaf and mute servant to lead the way.
Although the servant couldn't hear, he understood gestures and led Tao Yu and his companions through the woods, winding towards a pavilion.
Walking through the Peach Blossom Forest, Tao Yu felt that the arrangement around him was somewhat profound, but with his skill in the Meditation Technique, he believed that if he concentrated, he could gradually glean the area's pattern and find a way out.
"I wonder what 'Qimen Dunjia' involves and what effect it would have if learned and combined with 'Deification'..."
Qimen Dunjia, like the Corpse Refining Art, shouldn't conflict with various fundamental laws of one's own abilities; learning it wouldn't be as problematic as Cheng Lixue's previous concerns with the Snow Mountain Heart Method.
The question was whether Huang Yaoshi was willing to teach it or not.
Speaking of treasures, Huang Yaoshi certainly had no shortage—Nine Yin True Scripture, Qimen Dunjia, Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill, and the many martial arts he created.
Learning from Huang Yaoshi could be easy if he took a liking to you, but difficult indeed if he did not.
Even if he didn't want to teach, killing him wouldn't be useful.
As Tao Yu pondered these thoughts, they arrived at the pavilion, where Huang Yaoshi, holding the Jade Flute in his hand, stood with hands behind his back, gazing at the sea below the cliff. He seemed to be looking out towards Tianyuan, the sudden protrusion in the sky.
"Did you come here from Tianyuan?"
Huang Yaoshi turned around and spoke in a calm tone.
He had already removed his mask, revealing his gaunt face.
One could tell that Huang Yaoshi must have been a man of outstanding beauty in his youth.
"Indeed, Senior, may I ask how long Tianyuan has been in existence?"
While answering Huang Yaoshi's question, Tao Yu took the opportunity to ask in return.
"About five months, I think. According to the descriptions of the servants, they said there was a banished immortal descending from the sky there, but since they can't hear speech, the immortal left when they didn't respond. I wonder if you know anything about this."
Upon hearing this, Tao Yu realized they were likely referring to Sun Shiqing.
With her beauty and her descent from the sky, it seemed natural for ancient people to consider her a banished immortal.
Since the deaf and mute servants could only communicate through gestures, Huang Yaoshi could only have a general idea.
"It's not any banished immortal; just some extraordinary tricks, that's all. You could consider her my superior,"
Although the relationship might properly be considered as brother-in-law, Tao Yu dared not proclaim it recklessly.
"Oh? Superior? Extraordinary tricks?"
Huang Yaoshi's eyes lit up slightly.
"Are there such tricks that allow one to fly? Wait here for a moment."
As he finished speaking, he once again displayed his graceful lightness skill, swiftly disappearing amid the peach blossoms.
Even upon seeing it again, it still amazed Cheng Lixue and Zhang Hao.
A moment later, Tao Yu was somewhat dumbfounded as he watched Huang Yaoshi return, holding something in his hand, stepping on the branches.
In Huang Yaoshi's hand was something resembling two square, long barrels with some slots and fixed leather pouches.
This couldn't be the '3D maneuver gear', could it?
My goodness, where on earth did it come from?
"Is it like this?"
Huang Yaoshi inquired.
Tao Yu also reached out to touch the object that looked like 3D maneuver gear, feeling a slight fluctuation of Yuan Force. It was undoubtedly a Yuan Force item, requiring only about a hundred Yuan Forces to absorb.
However, it made sense; the 3D maneuver gear defied physics with its high output power, which wouldn't make sense if it weren't a Yuan Force item.
"Not quite, it's much more advanced than this. You can start by taking a look at this."
Tao Yu took out a handgun and placed it on the table, as it was most practical to first introduce gunnery to people of this era.
Huang Yaoshi picked up the handgun and examined it carefully. After some study, he followed the grooves on the gun, disassembling it piece by piece like building blocks, exploring its inner workings.
The key was that after a while, he reassembled the gun, which left Tao Yu practically staring in astonishment.
Observing how Huang Yaoshi handled the weapon, it was clear this was his first encounter with firearms, but unexpectedly, he was able to disassemble and reassemble it simply by following the structure.
