Humility is a good thing, but only by showing strength will there be real gains.

The stronger the person, the more he believes in himself. - Mu Yuchen

Winter has come, the wind and snow dominate this mountain forest, the wind and snow outside the house are shaky, the forest has retreated all vitality, and the snow white clothes are uniformly dressed, and the temperature outside is not very suitable for people's activities. The room was warm, a bonfire in the stove lit up the room, and the two people in the room were dressed in slightly thick clothes.

It's not easy to train outside, so there are some adjustments to the current curriculum, except for the necessary physical basic training. Mu Yuchen felt that he was back in the classroom of the university, with the teacher lecturing at the top, listening to the lecture below, and occasionally taking notes. The warm bonfire makes the house very comfortable, coupled with the alchemy reinforced house structure and the ventilation system constituted, the air is warm and fresh, making people sleepy, what a nostalgic era!

Mu Yuchen, who "touched" his mind, was given a ring ruler, and Xu Jingzhi, who entered the teacher mode, has the strictness and rigidity of a traditional teacher, and is very responsible. It was quite a challenge for Mu Yuchen, who was taught by teachers who had been able to get through gangsters in the past. Serious and responsible, pious to knowledge, and sincere in teaching students, Xu Jingzhi at this moment gave Mu Yuchen a sense of oppression full of brilliance, and the impression of the little old man's appearance was suddenly annihilated.

"I didn't memorize it, what did you do yesterday! Have you done your homework, too, so bring it! Look at what you write this word looks like. Go, write the basic formula of alchemy 50 times, write it well! If you can't write well, double it." The alchemist in the teacher's furious state is unbeatable, at least Mu Yuchen can't, "I hate winter." Mu Yuchen, who was a little nervous by the refining patterns of various formulas, theorems, reaction phenomena, and patterns, wailed in his heart.

Mu Yuchen completely forgot how he looked when Xu Jingzhi told him that he didn't need to practice the circular basic cycle and the triangle guide cycle anymore, and when he changed to a theory class, he cheered and shouted that he didn't have to squat on the ground to draw circles anymore. Retribution!

Fortunately, the winter is not long, fortunately, Xu Fuzi has two brushes, fortunately, the previous training helped Mu Yuchen change a lot of small problems, but fortunately, the theoretical class is finally over. Mu Yuchen happily looked at the mountains that were gradually appearing green, and patted his little chest, "I have come back to life, I must have the ability to remember it in the future." ”

After the theory, there is a practical course, "It seems that the alchemists of the new country are quite familiar with the principle of combining theory and practice, is it possible that Xu Jing is above Deng." Mu Yuchen thought from the bottom of his heart.

It's still in that small valley, or by that stream, but at this moment, Mu Yuchen has changed from a rookie-level apprentice to an apprentice-level rookie, so it's progress! First of all, the veteran alchemist Mr. Xu Jingzhi made a demonstration for Mu Yuchen, anyway, the theoretical things have been talked about in the winter teaching, although Xu Fuzi himself is actually a little dissatisfied, but who makes time pass so fast!

Today's refining theme is the most basic change of material form, that is, to change the shape of matter without changing the properties of matter, for example: turning an elliptical stone into a perfect circle. This kind of refining is mainly to train the alchemists to grasp the changes in appearance and control them subtly.

After completing this training, it is the change of material properties, it is actually difficult to really change the material properties, that belongs to high-level refining requires considerable mental power and experience, such as: graphite is converted into diamond, the shape change here is to change the density of matter, for example: a loose texture, a stone that will break when touched becomes a hard texture, can be used as a weapon to smash people, most alchemists have used such a brick, whether in life or in battle, after all, it is the first of the seven weapons!

This is followed by training in substance purification and substance extraction. As the name suggests, substance purification is to retain a large proportion of the substance in the proportion of the object, and eliminate the substance of the specific gravity of the smile, or change the content of some trace elements to obtain another substance. For example, iron ore is used to lift iron, and then iron is turned into steel; Substance extraction is the extraction of trace amounts of stale in an object.

After passing these three types of training, the alchemy apprentice will have a certain spirit, a certain understanding of matter, and a certain experience in alchemy. It's time to start your formal training.

First of all, what is the purpose of alchemy, we know that alchemy is a technique gradually formed in the process of the royal family looking for the method of immortality, this way of travel determines that alchemy is mainly used in medical treatment, and also determines that its main purpose is to repair matter, but later alchemists found that repairing damaged substances has the same meaning as healing the human body, so it can also be said to be a technique to restore the material that has problems. In contrast to the last step of alchemy, the last step of alchemy can be defined as a step close to regeneration.

The purpose of alchemy determines the training method, the things that go up the mountain suffer, Mu Yuchen began the process of destruction and repair, at the beginning, this guy used the stones and trees on the mountain as the contact object, and the craft was called a miserable. There was even a time when part of the structure of the house was damaged, and there was an accident during the repair, which directly caused the house to collapse. I slept in the field for two days on the grass.

However, this training method also made Mu Yuchen's practical experience improve by leaps and bounds. Soon, the flowers, plants, rocks and trees were almost unable to meet his training needs, and as a result, all the animals on the mountain were killed, and this guy was very bad in the mountains full of traps, and those animals that fell into the traps and were injured became excellent props for his practice. Probably a grudge relationship, the wild wolf in the mountains is taken care of by the end of the passion. So much so that as soon as the wild wolf saw Mu Yuchen, he would run away with his tail between his legs, and as long as he smelled his temperature somewhere, that area would become a forbidden area for the wolf clan.

With the help of countless volunteers (animals that fell into traps and were injured), and after Xu Jingzhi's earnest and kind persuasion (the long-winded education is not over if there is a problem), Mu Yuchen finally completed the training, according to Xu Jingzhi, although there are still some deficiencies in skills, but basically he can be regarded as a junior alchemist.

At this moment, Mu Yuchen was extremely excited, and he said: "First of all, I want to thank my parents, and secondly, I want to thank my instructor, and thank the countless animal and plant friends who have helped me on the cloud (countless wooden signs in the back raise "We are forced, call for the protection of animal rights), thank you, thank you, thank you!" ,

There is one more thing, Mu Yuchen was finally put into the door wall by Xu Jingzhi. After pouring tea and saluting, Mu Yuchen officially changed his name to Xu Jingzhi as his master, and after he was officially accepted as a disciple, he also received a reminder from the Book of Illusions that he would "complete the branch quest to become a disciple of the alchemist Xu Mai and obtain the source point 500". Mu Yuchen also found that his awakening level had reached 95%.

The only thing that made Mu Yuchen feel strange was what the inner disciple of the alchemist Xu Mai represented.

Half of the two years have passed, and it is already the end of summer and the beginning of autumn at this moment, and there are still about 6 months at most The main quest 2 will be confirmed to be a failure, and there is still one percent left to complete, Mu Yuchen is quite serious about training and practicing. But nothing worked, and the master didn't hand in any new content.

"It is dangerous and irresponsible to build mission objects on unstable foundations." These are the original words of the master. Mu Yuchen thought to himself: "I won't be stuck here!" ”

The spiritual training of the dragon vein, the basic training of physical fitness, and the practical training of the alchemist's operation, Mu Yuchen devoted himself wholeheartedly, forgetting about irritability, anxiety, and restlessness. For his state, Xu Jingzhi nodded secretly.

The autumn leaves covered the mountains, and Xu Jingzhi came to the valley with Mu Yuchen this day. "This is the best lesson in the basics, and after mastering it, you will be an independent alchemist." Xu Jingzhi drew a circle array on the ground, and at a distance some distance from the first circle, he said that there were three other circles, so that the four circles were in a triangle space, the first circle was the center point of the triangle, and the other three circles were the three vertices of the triangle, and then said: "The basis of the alchemist's refining is the cycle, but I want to tell you now that the cycle that the alchemist refines is not based on the circle array you see, the circle array is just the way to apply. Our alchemy is based on the larger circle, the planet we live on beneath our feet. Based on this, alchemy has a characteristic that is long-range alchemy. ”

looked at Mu Yuchen, who was confused, "Look at it." Xu Jingzhi started refining on the first refining array, and the other three refining arrays had refining reactions, and the chief test was in the refining array above the first refining array, and a statue of Daddy Laifu suddenly appeared in it, and the refining array on the left and right sides appeared respectively The statues of Xu Jingzhi himself and Mu Yuchen appeared, and the whole process was integrated, without the slightest fireworks.

"Alchemy can be used as long as there is a flow of water, and on the planet, the connection between any two points is part of the river of force, and it is possible to follow the flow of force from one point to "ride" the pulse flow to any other point, which is the principle of remote control of alchemy. Xu Jingzhi clapped his hands and turned to leave.

Mu Yuchen, who was left behind, started a new round of practice, he was really a hard-working child.

Solid basic skills, hard practice, Mu Yuchen is actually a fairly simple person, in the real world, he has been honest since he was a child, step by step from elementary school to junior high school, from junior high school to university, ordinary love, and he is ready to go through this life like this, the only struggle is to leave after graduation to find a good job, and choose to come to Shanghai, where he graduated a year ago. Bibi is Mu Yuchen's senior sister, the two met in the school library, in fact, Mu Yuchen was a sophomore at that time, Ouyang Bibi was a junior, and the time to really fall in love was only three months.

Mu Yuchen believes that life is a choice, and a choice is to give up. Since you are destined to give up something, it is better to choose what you want! We are all selfish, or we are selfish to live.

Mu Yuchen was still practicing remote refining, in fact, he was almost successful, but he was a little unstable in the balance control of the pulsating flow, and his spiritual power was not pure enough. He has been trying to change this, adjusting his training, how to increase the cultivation of the static pile. He had a hunch, "It's going to be successful." ”

In the small valley of Yunshan, Mu Yuchen sat on the stones by the stream to rest, the continuous failure of long-distance refining made his mental power not sufficient, thinking about the problems that had arisen in the previous long-range refining. Not far from him, the shape of the four refining arrays was the same as that demonstrated by Xu Jingzhi that day, and there were still many traces of refining on the refining array in the center.

Mu Yuchen stood up and walked towards the refining formation formation in the center of the triangle, he took a deep breath to calm himself down, and pressed his hands on the refining formation, "If you can succeed, you have already calculated everything." "He cheered himself up.

At the beginning of refining, first convey the qi with its own spiritual power to the refining array, and then strengthen the spiritual power so that the qi flows along the pulse of the earth to the remote refining array, stabilize, steady, stabilize, and then guide the earth qi circulating in the dragon vein to move according to the air flow with its own spiritual power information, form a new cycle, and launch the refining.

In the refining array above Mu Yuchen, a burst of brilliance flashed, and the uncontrollable qi of those lights overflowed. After the light, a pyramid-shaped object appeared in the refining array, and he succeeded.

A wave of fluctuations appeared in Mu Yuchen's consciousness. "Mission 2 complete, 100% awakened, privilege upgraded. Query permission is enabled; The right to exchange goods is opened; Skill Swap is on; Ability Seed Swap On; Storage swap rights are turned on. Hint: The bloodline ability needs to be hunted by oneself, the awakened have the right to query some information in the infinite space, and the information above their own level will be charged, and the exchange option must be used in the non-task space. Automatically prompt to complete non-task items, please check by yourself. ”

"The main quest is all completed, 1., you can choose to return immediately. 2. Stay and return after the training level time is exhausted. ”

"I choose 2." Mu Yuchen said, "You have to go and say goodbye!" Mu Yuchen rested by the stream for a while, looked at the grass and trees that were already familiar, and was silent for a while, "Let's go!" He muttered and got up to leave.

Returning to the residence, Mu Yuchen found that the master seemed to be sorting out something and didn't bother him, he hadn't chopped wood for a long time, and there was no more after he started formal alchemy training, Mu Yuchen picked up the axe placed in the kitchen, went out to get some firewood, and when he came back, Xu Jingzhi was sitting in the house resting.

"I'm back!" Xu Jingzhi asked.

"Yes, I'm out to fetch firewood, hehe!" Mu Yuchen felt that something was wrong with his master.

"It's been a year since you became an alchemist. Time flies so fast, is the remote refining completed? Mu Yuchen nodded, "Very good, I have some things to leave the mountain." Mu Yuchen wanted to say something, "Listen to me, there are some tricky things to deal with, you can go down the mountain after I leave, and traveling will also help your skills become more mature, but before that, I want to teach you some unique skills of this sect!"

"The identity has changed, and the identity of the disciple of Xu Mai has been changed to that of the inner disciple of Xu Mai."
