Chapter 4: The Alchemical Apprentice
The laboratory of the University of Nuo is divided into two parts, one side is full of all kinds of strange alchemy equipment, and on the other side there are two chairs, one old and one young, sitting on it.
Yang Jian was injured all over his body, sitting on the chair and humming, scolding from time to time.
"It will take a while for my potion to be effective," Norton touched Yang Jian's arm.
"Tsk, your physique is very special."
"Let go of my hand, old man! I don't do it! ”
Yang Jian's body dangled, trying to get rid of Norton's "groping pig hand".
"It's your physique that makes me curious," Norton disagreed, and continued to touch it.
"Otherwise, how about you stay with me, be my apprentice, take care of food and housing, and be paid?"
"Don't!" Yang Jian struggled to his feet.
The thought of being used as an experiment by Frankenstein and finally being half-paralyzed, Yang Jian suddenly felt very sad.
"You come to me, you have to do it if you can't do it!" Norton looked evil, staring at Yang Jian viciously, making the latter creepy.
"Bang!" A huge copy of the "Alchemy Encyclopedia" was smashed on the table, and Norton said: "Today's first class, teach you how to refine the lower-level intellectual elixir, for the teacher, you still have something to do, you can figure it out by yourself against the book, and I will see the finished product later."
"Old man, the so-called practice brings true knowledge, if you want me to do it in a day, it's a bit difficult for a strong man," Yang Jian protested.
"As my Norton's disciple", Norton stroked his beard, "I think I have a different talent", Norton looked at this newly acquired disciple, with a sad expression, sighed, and left.
Feeling that his pride had been hit, Yang Jian clenched his fists, then walked over, picked up the "Alchemy Encyclopedia", and then flipped it open.
The first page talks about the origin of alchemy and the scientificity of alchemy, and when he saw this, Yang Jian skipped it directly.
The second page talks about the refining rules of the lower-level intellectual elixir.
The low-level intelligence elixir can increase the intelligence of a small number of adventurers within thirty minutes, and the required materials are two coarse garlic and two dried daffodils, which need to be added to the boiling water first, simmered for twenty minutes to remove their toxicity, and then scooped up.
Peel the coarse garlic, chop it with the daffodils, and mix the oil to form.
me, isn't that a recipe? Simmering? Blended oil?
Yang Jian, who was known as the "bedroom chef" in his previous life, has a lot of experience in cooking.
In his imagination, this is a cold dish, and it is his best.
I saw that he held a knife in his hand and spun like a spinning top, cutting a coarse garlic and chopping it, and in a short time he created a delicate work of art. This is a white and chubby penguin with a cute expression.
As for the daffodils, he made a flower umbrella with a slight modification in that delicate technique.
Finally, he took a deep breath and put a few drops of blended oil on it.
Norton was stunned.
He was shocked by the scene in front of him, and was speechless for a long time.
"Strong", "really strong", Norton barely squeezed a few words out between his teeth.
"There are even ducks with umbrellas???!!!" Norton's expression was very strange.
"You're such a talent! It's a shame not to go to the Imperial Art Society."
"Master, please try the medicinal properties", in the face of Norton's sarcasm, Yang Jian was not in a hurry.
Norton picked up the potion suspiciously, only to see the miniature carvings inside.
He sighed, then opened the bottle and sniffed it.
Then, in an instant, his expression changed.
"This medicine is mild, the smell is fragrant, and it is of the highest quality."
An old man and a young man sat down in a chair again.
"How?" In his mind, Norton attributed half of the reason to his own disciples, and wanted to ask the other half why.
"I won't hide this from you", Yang Jian had a self-absorbed expression on his face, "I personally think that alchemy is cooking."
"Plop" Norton fell out of his seat.
"The only way to cook is to be intentional, impetuous, and definitely not good at cooking, only if there are no distractions, and the heart must be full of love and tranquility, so that the people can feel happy," Yang Jian said.
Norton struggled to his feet, then remained silent.
If it weren't for your kid's talent, just by saying that alchemy is cooking, I would have fought with you a long time ago, old man, Norton thought.
But he had other things.
"The child can be taught", Norton praised without embarrassment, "You read this alchemy book as soon as possible, I have other arrangements."
