Chapter 70: Acceptance
"Have you verified it? Why don't you follow the alchemy steps in the textbook?"
Sierra was a little on fire.
However, the cloaked boy on the other side still looked indifferent, which made her, who had always been considered calm and calm, have the urge to lift the boy's cloak at that moment.
"Why follow the steps in the textbook?"
Under the hood of the cloak, the voice did not rise and fall, as if talking about family life.
Sierra almost laughed.
"Why, you ask?"
"Of course. Al replied as a matter of course: " If other methods prove that it works, then why do you have to follow the method of teaching books, I always believed in books before, but only after discovering that there are contradictions between books and books, I understand that all books are actually written by people, and reading books is actually talking to them, but all people will have right and wrong, so you can't believe all books, you have to talk to them, you have to think, believe in those who are credible, doubt those who should be doubted, think of those that they have not thought of. ā
"Then prove it to me. Serra didn't listen to the other man's words at all, only feeling that the cloaked boy was still arguing with words.
The cloaked boy on the opposite side didn't speak anymore, and he silently picked up another potion that had already been prepared.
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
Serra felt something was wrong.
Al ignored her, but raised his hand and drank a large bottle of potion in front of her.
After drinking the potion, Al wiped the remaining potion from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and asked in a low voice, "Can this be proven?"
Serra: "......"
Faced with such an apprentice, Serra didn't know what to say for a while, but the other party's action also made Serra slowly calm down and start thinking about what the other party said.
The calyx of Suluohua is poisonous, if it is not heated and detoxified, it will make the user feel itchy and extremely uncomfortable all over the body, and if the dosage is large enough, it will even pose a more severe threat to the health and life safety of the user.
If the other party drank such a large bottle of potion in a big gulp and nothing happened, then he thought that his detoxification method really had an effect.
"If you were to compare the textbook method, is this the only step you can change?" asked Serra.
"No, there are a few. ā
"Then you go on. ā
Al then said, and Serra began to think seriously.
Before, because of some kind of prejudice, Sierra couldn't listen to what El said at all, but the other party's unexpectedly fierce action inadvertently knocked down the wall built in Serra's heart, so now Al's voice can really reach her heart.
This change seems to make some sense......
It seems to make sense when you think about it......
That doesn't seem right, but I'll think about it......
There are several changes that Al mentions, some of which inspire Serra, some of which even make sense of herra, and of course, there are also a few points that Sierra feels like are not working, or the negative effects are greater than the positives.
Regardless, Al's changes worked.
This was the conclusion that Serra had finally settled after listening and tasting the elixir with the tip of her tongue a few times.
In terms of effect alone, the potion refined by Al was better than the potion that Long Chen had refined with standard methods comparable to that of a textbook store before, which could be clearly felt.
When Al was all done, Serra wasn't in a hurry to belittle the points she thought were wrong, or to praise the points that inspired or even amazed her, she was thinking.
There is no doubt that Al's approach is more effective than the textbook approach.
If you think about it carefully, in fact, these methods are not very magical, or they reach a level that ordinary alchemists cannot understand at all.
But why didn't anyone bring it up before El did?
There may be many reasons for this, such as the fact that the great alchemists don't care about this kind of basic little yĆ n at all, or most people feel that there is no need to spend so much effort and time on an ordinary refreshing potion, or maybe there are some unknown flaws in El's method......
But these may all be just excuses.
The cloaked boy on the other side, Al had done it after all.
Cera's acceptance of this.
Listening to Al explain, he may think that it is nothing more than that, and there is nothing great about it, which may be the most common idea for apprentices, but only Serra, as an alchemy teacher, will know what a rare quality it is.
Such a person will never, ever be, just a muddled assistant and a machine that only knows how to complete tasks in the alchemy room, he will be an alchemist who can really think and have his own ideas.
Such a person is also a kind of genius.
And it's one of the most important.
Serra thinks so.
Because the geniuses who change the world and push the world forward are such people, so that they can generate ideas that ordinary people would not think of, people who can do things that ordinary people would not think of doing, and people who can break conventions and frameworks and enter the unknown world.
That's true genius.
After class, Al, Ryuchen, Jerden, and Celi were all left alone by Serra.
"Don't sit so far away from each other, but sit in the seats in front of me. Serra said with a smile.
Several people sitting in different corners of the classroom looked at each other, and in obedience to Serra's words, they set off together to the alchemy table closest to Serra's podium and sat down.
Serra stepped down from the podium.
"Now there's a chance for you. "Do you know why you were left behind?" I think you should know where you are, yes, you are the best of the apprentices. ā
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of several people present did not change, and it seemed that they also recognized this sentence and took it for granted.
Excellent people must have self-confidence that ordinary people do not have, and such self-confidence is the accumulation of countless praises from people around them, various successes they have obtained, etc., and finally it will become a natural attitude towards the world.
"So what kind of opportunity is that?"
Jerden, the shortest man who sat down and was only a head taller than the table top of the alchemy table, asked.
Although he is small, his posture of raising his head to ask questions is very imposing, and there is also a little funny.
"Be my assistant in the alchemy room. ā
Serra lowered her jaw and looked directly at the group of apprentices with dark brown eyes.
