Qin Ji squeezed through the crowd and walked in front of the pillar.

Du Daqi, who still had bruises and red swelling on his face, saw the comer, his smile was ugly, and the crowd of onlookers became more and more, pointing and pointing.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Ji stretched out his hand to untie the rope, Du Daqi's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Qin Long, don't move!"

Qin Ji shook his hand.

Du Daqi said bitterly: "Xu Mu said, no one can untie me before dark, let's wait for the mentor to come." ”

Qin Ji turned a deaf ear and tore off the rope: "What about others?"

Du Daqi lowered his head, not daring to look at the faces gathered around him, and said in a low voice: "He can't find you, and now he has left the school, but Xu Mu will definitely not give up." ”

Qin Ji supported Du Daqi, the gathered crowd made way of a road, the two walked away from the square, and the young men and women who heard the wind scattered in groups.

"I'm sorry. ”

Qin Ji said softly.

Du Daqi sat down on the stone bench on the side, and said with a wry smile: "It's okay, I've been used to it for a long time, isn't it just a little embarrassing, there is no difference between losing it in the class and throwing it outside." ”

Although Du Daqi said this, his clenched fist did not let go for a long time.

Being tied to a pillar in front of the public, what a humiliation for an academy student who is talented and crowned, and a young man of this age does not love face.

But what Du Daqi said is also good, after experiencing more, he got used to it, and after the initial anger was fruitless, he also suppressed it to the bottom of his heart and no longer showed it.

"Hehe, maybe I shouldn't have come to this fire. ”

Du Daqi laughed at himself: "I'd rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, but I have to do my best to squeeze into this phoenix tail, and I deserve it." ”

On his own one-third of an acre of land, although Du Daqi is not outstanding, he can at least be the same as a normal person, where will he be angry and humiliated everywhere like coming to this fire.

Qin Ji sat next to Du Daqi and said calmly: "Daqi, you and I have a friend, he said to me that the suffering, losses, responsibilities, and pain you endure will turn into light in the end, illuminating your way." ”

Du Daqi's fists on his knees slowly released.

After a while, Du Daqi smiled and said, "Qin Long, I'm fine, thank you, let's go to the alchemy department, I'll take you around." ”

Qin Ji patted Du Daqi on the shoulder, and the two got up and walked towards the row of rolling attics at the end of the square.

The alchemy department is not small, there is a Dan furnace neatly placed in a partitioned room, and there is a name on the door, Du Daqi took Qin Ji to get a key and claim a room.

"No. ”

Du Daqi pointed to the room next to him and said with a smile: "018, this is your room, mine is 017." ”

Du Daqi took Qin Ji around the room, and after introducing it, he went around the alchemy system.

"This is a treasure trove, ordinary medicinal materials, gold stones and materials can be found, if it is rare, then you have to apply for it with the tutor. ”

"It's a rest area, you can eat, drink and have fun, but the cost is quite high. ”

"This is the Danfang room, and the Danfang below the high-level can be borrowed. ”

The two of them took half an hour to turn around and return to the alchemy room.

"Qin Long, you haven't been assessed yet, you have to go to the tutor to get the student card first, and with the student card, you can really become an alchemy student and enjoy the above resources. ”

Du Daqi took out a bronze triangular token from his arms, shook it, and said: "This is an intermediate student card, and the high-level one is made of silver, and I have also seen someone in the department with a purple gold color." ”

A ceramic water bottle fell, smashed on Du Daqi's forehead, the water bottle with a decent material was not broken, and there were only a few cracks after falling to the ground and jumping twice, Du Daqi covered his rapidly reddened forehead, gritted his teeth hard, looked up at the second floor, there was a young man in Chinese clothes lying on the railing, and said with a smile: "Come on, Du Daqi, you are embarrassed to show off the bronze student card even crying and begging for talent?"

Du Daqi reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Senior Zhang Qiong." ”

Zhang Qiong jumped down from the second floor with a railing and landed in front of the two, he glanced at Qin Ji on the side, picked up the ceramic water bottle on the ground, and threw it at Du Daqi at will after seeing that there were cracks, and said: "Well, for your sake, this water bottle worth twenty gold coins will be given to you." ”

Du Daqi took the water bottle and said with a forced smile: "Thank you, senior." ”

Zhang Qiong said lightly: "Aren't you tied up outside by Xu Mu, who let you in?"

Du Daqi clutched the water bottle tightly and replied softly, "A mentor has seen it." ”

Zhang Qiong gouged her ears and raised her eyebrows: "Good luck." ”

Zhang Qiong leaned on the pillar behind him, looked at Qin Ji, and said lightly: "Who is this person?

Du Daqi explained: "Senior, this is Qin Long, who is in the same class as me, and he is also an alchemist. ”

Zhang Qiong looked Qin Ji up and down, showing a strange smile: "Won't it be the same half-ass like you again?" ”

Du Daqi was silent.

When he enrolled, it was indeed a joke of the entire alchemy department, the recruitment standard of the Flowing Fire Academy was an intermediate apprentice, he had always been a little far from the intermediate level, in order to enter the flowing fire, he tried his best, and reluctantly relied on money to get a qualification, when he received the student card, something went wrong when refining a piece of junior high-grade refined iron, and it was he who begged the mentor at that time not to be expelled, and passed the test in a mixed way.

This incident also made him unable to raise his head in the alchemy department and the class.

Zhang Qiong said with a smile: "Qin Long, I'm a person, I always like to be enthusiastic about helping others, don't you think this will work, I will definitely get you a student card, and you only need to pay 10,000 gold coins in return." ”

Qin Ji smiled faintly: "You are really a good person." ”

Zhang Qiong grinned: "That's not it, what do you think?"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. ”

Zhang Qiong added a sentence and said: "Tutor Dou is indeed not here today, and I am responsible for the assessment. ”

Du Daqi's face changed, he pulled Qin Ji's sleeve, and smiled at Zhang Qiong: "Senior, we forgot, there is still a course in the afternoon, let's talk about this student card next time." ”

Zhang Qiong turned sideways, pointed to the door, and her smile remained unchanged: "It's okay to have a class, you can go and get busy first, but I think so, although our alchemy department is not a big department, it is not a rag place for people to pick and pick up, I can't look at it this time, so don't come next time." ”

Du Daqi had a faint look of anger, pulled Qin Ji and said in a low voice: "Don't pay attention to him, let's go, and we'll come back tomorrow when Mentor Dou comes back." ”

Qin Ji's body didn't move at all, and Du Daqi turned around unexpectedly.

"Tut-tut. ”

Zhang Qiong smiled and said, "Du Daqi, take a look, you see, this new junior knows the rules and knows the times." ”

"Qin Long. ”

Du Daqi was anxious and said: "Don't listen to him, where is this student card worth 10,000 gold coins, and when the tutor comes back tomorrow, with your strength, it is easy to get the student card." ”

Zhang Qiong slowly retracted her expression, stared at Du Daqi, and said in a low voice: "Du Daqi, if you talk nonsense about me again, you can't get out of this door today, do you believe it?"

Du Daqi looked ugly, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Zhang Qiong snorted coldly, looked up at Qin Ji again, and put on a bright smile: "Senior Brother Qin Long, then let's go, Senior Brother will take you to the assessment." ”

Qin Ji still didn't move, he looked at the young man in Chinese clothes in front of him, and said, "Are you an alchemy master?"

Zhang Qiong was stunned.

Master alchemist?

How many master-level academies can the entire alchemy department find?The masters of the alchemy department can be compared to the lower masters in spiritual cultivation.

Zhang Qiong's expression gradually sank, and said, "Can I understand that you are talking nonsense?"

Just kidding, if he Zhang Qiong were a master, would he still shrink here?

Qin Ji shook his head and said, "It seems that you are not, then you are only high-level?"

Zhang Qiong said gloomily: "What do you want to say?"

Du Daqi whispered on the side: "Qin Long, don't ask, he is a mid-level high-grade, and he is only one step away from becoming a high-level." ”

Qin Ji smiled.

He stepped forward and looked down at the young man in Chinese clothes in front of him: "I want to take a silver brand, you are a middle-level apprentice, are you also worthy of my assessment?"

Du Daqi stayed where he was.

The expression on Zhang Qiong's face also froze slightly at this moment.
