Studying other people's alchemy items, for an alchemist, is a good learning opportunity, if the conditions are met, use a specific method, you can learn about the other party's production techniques, element ratio, and even the formula can find out a * inseparable ten, but this is definitely not anyone can do it, it can be said that this is not a small risk, and the difficulty of success is quite large!

In Vivienne Blaney's time, each alchemist actually had his own unique recipe, refining method, and method of making zuò, as well as his own unique hidden imprint, so that buyers, users and peers could clearly know who made the item, and thus cultivate their own loyal customer base.

The transcendent status of the alchemist community, as well as the general awe and respect for alchemists, well guarantee their rights and interests. And since it has a hidden mark, it is definitely not possible for anyone to study the works of the makers without scrutiny.

There are only two ways to study alchemical items made by others:

First, only alchemists with the permission of the other party can get this opportunity to learn from other people's alchemy works, which is to facilitate communication between alchemists and promote the development of alchemy.

But the vast majority of alchemists are not selfless, why should they share the formulas, techniques, etc., they have painstakingly studied or learned with others for free? So usually this type of communication only happens with close friends, loved ones, or at an extremely high cost.

The second is that after reaching the alchemist level, when the same lineage is in the same vein, one big level or three small levels higher than the other party, so that you can effortlessly study other people's works.

This situation is actually very easy to understand, that is, it is for the master and apprentice, and the master always has to inspect the apprentice's work, right? Well. That's right, when the level reaches the alchemist level, you can start classes to teach apprentices and choose assistants.

One of the interesting things is that in Vivian Blaney's world, it is not only alchemists who accept apprentices, but any alchemist can accept apprentices, resulting in so many alchemy schools at that time that even every alchemist can say that he is a school!

After all, there are no two identical leaves in the world, and the same truth applies to alchemy, and everyone will have a habit of their own. And this habit has more or less long been different in their own alchemy techniques, formulas, and so on.

Of course, the more high-level the master is required to accept apprentices, perhaps because there are too many talents to choose from. Maybe it was because people who really focused on research didn't have the time and energy to teach their apprentices, but in short, it was very difficult to worship a famous alchemy master at that time.

The only alchemist in the world?

That's even more unattainable!

Well, take Vivian Blaney as an example, she is in her master. The previous alchemy master had only met in the orphanage by chance after a thousand choices, and her master had not accepted a single apprentice for several years before taking on the young Vivian!

Well, this kind of thing is really easy to understand in the eyes of Su Baiyu and Xi Qing, Huaxia has been 'teachers choose apprentices, apprentices choose teachers' since ancient times. Isn't it?

Although the concept of a teacher has been much broader in later generations, a teacher who has taught class after class with dozens of people in each class is likely to not remember all the students, and even the students may even insult the teacher. However, in the pear orchard industry, in the music industry, and in the antique industry, the older generation still adheres to the way of master and apprentice, and the same criteria for selecting apprentices have been continuing.

This kind of relationship between the master and the disciple has become a father-son relationship from the moment of apprenticeship. It is absolutely different from the teacher who talks in generalities, and it is not the kind of polite and honorific 'so-and-so master'.

Strictly speaking. Su Baiyu and Xi Qing should both be said to be the direct disciples of Vivian Blaney, the two of them have been studying according to the various books and notes left by Vivian Blaney since the first day of their freshman year, and even many of the things used by the two of them were used by Vivian Blaney or made by himself.

Whether it is from the disciples who can become alchemists in the magic era at that time, or from the magicians and alchemists who may be unique in the world today, both of them are lucky and glorious enough.

Not to mention that the two of them not only inherited Vivian Blaney's entire inheritance, got her mantle, but also got the large wealth accumulated by the Blaney family for many generations!

From this point of view, the two are very lucky!

It's a pity that I don't know if it's the law of fairness in the world that is at work, while getting such a large amount of wealth and becoming a super low-key (no one knows at all) lucky ones, Su Baiyu and Xi Qing also lost a very important thing!

The notes are dead, the books are dead, and even their master Vivian has been dead for I don't know how many years, without the master's hand-in-hand teaching, without the master's ear to mention the face, words and deeds, the two poor babies can only rely on their own groping, continuous practice to climb to the height of the alchemy saint, and the hardships naturally do not need to be repeated.

cough cough cough ......

If these words were heard by the members of the Blaney family, who not only did not get the inheritance, but also lost the symbolism of the family, they might hate these two thick-skinned and borderless guys!

"Master, ...... you" Dong Nuan, who was combing Su Baiyu's hair, saw the unnatural flush on her cheeks from the big mirror, and hurriedly asked with concern.

Uh, I'm distracted again.

"It's fine. By the way, does Li Fu have any news to send back? With a wave of his hand, he picked up a short hairpin on the dresser in front of him, and looked at the half-opened gardenia carved from mutton fat jade, Su Baiyu suddenly remembered that Li Fu, the deputy chief eunuch who made the jade hairpin, was here.

Dong Nuan pursed her lips and smiled, and while taking the short hairpin and carefully inserting it into the thick black hair, she replied casually: "Didn't you leave him in Suzhou to visit the hidden folk jade carving craftsmen?" Two days ago, a letter came saying that he had found one, but the old man was very stubborn, saying that it was okay to learn his skills, but he had to stay at home and concentrate on learning, and he was not allowed to go out to mess with his mind, so ah...... There has been no news for the past few days. ”

It's strange to believe you!

Li Fu, a eunuch who doesn't know martial arts at all, if there is no secret protection around him, then how can he rest assured that he will be left alone? In the end, it is your own carving master, safety is very important!

"Well, well, master, don't look at the slave like that, the slave doesn't care about the correspondence, how can you know the details? Besides, you still don't know Deputy Manager Li's temper? What else can he care about when he concentrates? Dong Nuan was furious when Su Baiyu saw it, and hurriedly confessed.

Well, that's just as well.

Of course, Su Baiyu knew Li Fu's dedication and love for carving, and he also admired his attentive and hard-working nature, and at the same time, he was even more looking forward to learning some real skills from the apprentice who was said to be Lu Zigang's apprentice this time, and even a trace of envy appeared in his heart.

After all, Li Fu has his own princess to take care of, although he has become a eunuch, he can also learn what he likes almost without distraction, and he can only do some harmless basic exercises during the day, and he doesn't dare to indulge too much, not because he is afraid that something will disturb him at any time or prevent the elusive Lao Kang, but because as a princess, even if she is deliberately low-key, there will still be countless pairs of eyes staring, so you have to take into account some influences and scales, if you are too obsessed with carving, martial arts, reading, music and rhythm, If it exceeds the tolerable scale, then it will definitely be ridiculed and impeached by some idle nobles.

Well, Su Baiyu admitted that although she had been very careful not to touch the looming circle, she had been laughed at more than once, even if she didn't care about it, it was not worth causing these unnecessary troubles to Lao Kang, Concubine De, and Lao Siyinzhen.

Women, in this era, if they are too outstanding, too talented, and too good, it may not be a good thing~~

(Ahem, don't you feel blushing?)

Is it worth blushing? This is a fact~~ Gold will always shine, and an awl will always show its head in a bag......

What is this? Xiaobaibai's skin is getting thicker and thicker!

How...... ）

On the way to say good morning to the old lady, fighting with Xi Qing is actually really a very boring and painful thing, but this seemingly boring game between young couples is also a good way to promote feelings.

"Sister~ Where did you go to the fugue again? Is it okay to share with your brother? Yin Yu was speechless and stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Su Baiyu's eyes, smiling bitterly in helplessness.

Su Baiyu glanced at Yinyu, and sighed faintly: "Alas~~nothing~ I just don't know how Li Fu is doing in Suzhou." ”

"Cut! I said, sister~~ Isn't she just a craftsman? Why bother? Wouldn't it be enough for Cao Yin to send someone to arrest him back? Get! Respect for teachers, right? Don't say anything if you want to learn skills, you have to be sincere, then the craftsman can be regarded as a master? If nothing else, let's just say that the prince's brother is our role model, right? What about his masters? It's not a fight that should be beaten, a punishment that should be punished, and a lack of mercy when it should be killed? You ......"

Yinyu said to himself that he was right, and he didn't agree with his young lady's politeness to the craftsman's 'master', but when he said it, he felt that he was a little cold, and when he looked at it again, it was over, and his sister was angry.
