Chapter 20: The Alchemist
Alchemists are destined to spend their whole lives playing with fire, but due to some special reasons, there is a fault in the advanced alchemy skills of their predecessors, which means that they can't learn too much experience at all, and can only explore by themselves, so this slow speed has become the biggest obstacle for them to move forward.
Therefore, they are eager to have more peers to discuss and search for the mysteries of those broken alchemy.
"If you have the source of fire, I have it. ”
Although he sometimes acted impulsively, Lin Mu's mind was absolutely sensitive and meticulous.
The emotions that Duan Lao inadvertently revealed, Lin Muke saw in his eyes, although he was not a roundworm in his stomach, but Lin Mu could also roughly read something from it.
In that case, then I can't disappoint this old man with expectations on his face, right?
As he spoke, Lin Mu straightforwardly released a flame and pulled Duan Lao out of that regretful thought.
"Hiss......"
Although he had made up his mind in his heart, when he saw the red flame on Lin Mu's fingers, Duan Lao's eyes were still red with excitement.
"This flame ......"
Although excited, his sanity was still there. Soon, he sensed that the flame was unusual.
"How can the temperature of this fire be so high......?
The red flame is a symbol of earth fire. However, the temperature of Lin Mu's flame was much higher than that of ordinary flames.
As if thinking of something, Duan Lao hurriedly released his own flames, as if to verify something.
"Puff ......"
Sure enough, the moment Duan Lao released the flames, something surprising happened.
The pinch of flame on Duan Lao's finger was inexplicably extinguished by itself within a few seconds of being released, and then no matter how Duan Lao injected the vitality, the flame never appeared again.
"That's right, it can't be wrong, the density of your flame is much higher than that of ordinary flames, so there can't be any flames around it at all, otherwise it will be extinguished. ”
Although the theory that flames can extinguish flames exists, they refiners have always maintained a skeptical attitude, after all, none of them have ever seen such a situation.
But now......
"Good, good, good! good!"
The excitement and joy that Duan Lao showed at this time was probably not as good as the joy he had when he became a refiner.
At this time, he was incoherent, how could he have the demeanor of a refining master, and now he was even more like the child who had gotten the candy he had wanted for a long time.
Seeing Duan Lao's appearance, Lin Mugang's cold sweat rubbed uncontrollably all over his body.
This old guy is excited no matter how he says, he is a refiner himself, and there must be a lot of partners around him, how can he see him......
"It's great, it's good, it's good!
It's really a treasure, with this kind of flame, if Lin Mu has the mind to match it, then maybe he will become a sensational figure in the near future.
"Little friend Lin Mu, I don't know if you are interested in learning the art of refining? You must know that refiners are very hot on this continent, don't you want to become such an existence? As soon as you beckon, countless strong people will come to you. When the time comes, this Tanglin City will be at your disposal. How's it going? Are you interested?"
Now that it is determined that Lin Mu has the origin of fire, then the next thing he has to do is to abduct Lin Mu step by step, what children like most is nothing more than the kind of satisfaction that everyone wants, so he has absolute certainty that Lin Mu will be 'abducted' and 'astray'.
However, what Duan Lao didn't expect was that Lin Mu's ambition was not only like that.
For the sake of the legendary bloodline he inherited, his goal must also be to be at the top of this world.
"Refining is a must, but the kid already has a teacher, so I can't promise you. ”
"Hehe, a good boy has ambitions in all directions, how can he just be limited to a certain place, I'm really confused. ”
"You and I are not teachers and students, but peers, so you don't have to worry about that. ”
Seeing Lin Mu's resolute eyes, Duan Lao was slightly stunned and smiled dumbly.
After so many years, he has really lived more and more. When they met for the first time, Lin Mu's calm eyes were vivid in his mind.
How can a person with such a pair of eyes have no pursuit?
"It's just that the future is difficult, do you have the senses?"
"The future is difficult, but in the end, there is no life, if anyone has the ability, take it, why be afraid!"
Feeling Lin Mu's calm tone, Duan Lao suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, this kind of courage that is not afraid of life and death, how many people in the world can have?
How many people can so indifferently say such a bold statement as gambling with their lives?
How many people can compete with this kind of courage?
"In that case, I have a request, and that is that you should do your best to get closer to the apex of the refiner. When your strength is enough, go to the high-level continent and go there to learn more advanced refining knowledge. On this continent, some ancient knowledge cannot be passed down here at all, so ...... Be sure to go to the High Continent. ”
"If that's the case, then why don't you refiners go?"
Hearing Duan Lao say this, Lin Mu did not shirk it.
"All the continents in the world are distributed in different places, but due to the different degrees of abundance and scarcity of resources, there are gradually low-level continents and high-level continents, and there are countless strong people on the high-level continents, how can anyone go there. Those who can survive there are either geniuses or strong people. Refiners have always focused on refining weapons, and they don't pay attention to cultivation at all, how can they go to the high-level continent with such strength? Moreover, although the identity of the refiner is noble, in a place like the high-level continent, what are we?"
Refining requires a lot of time to comprehend, and cultivation also takes up a lot of time, so refiners instinctively choose their own profession, so cultivation is naturally put on hold. As long as the vitality can supply the demand for flames, strength is not their pursuit.
Is this lucky, or sad?
"The continent where we are located is called the Eastern Continent, how to say it, due to the lack of resources on this continent, the ancient resources other than the academy are already considered to be completely faulty, and the resources of each family are just the inheritance of the family. Therefore, whether it is refining medicine or cultivating, you have to rely on your own comprehension, and you can't take a shortcut. However, for cultivators, only by going down to earth can they become strong, which can only be said to have disadvantages and advantages. ”
Lack of resources, which is just people's subconscious cognition, has become a reason and obstacle for people not to seek progress. A strong-willed person can become a strong man wherever he is, even if he lacks resources.
"Originally, I just wanted you to know about the knowledge of refining, but I didn't expect it to go so far. Okay, let's get down to business, from now on, I'll teach you how to refine weapons. ”
After refining weapons for a lifetime and watching people for a lifetime, Duan Lao had never seen a teenager with such courage, perhaps, this teenager could really walk out of this continent with their dreams.
