Chapter 121: Apprentice Life
The learning base is located in the hinterland of Yellowstone College, where there are no volcanoes or the like, similar to the university, mainly a teaching base for theoretical learning and elixir identification, cultivation and other related content. ~,
The person who received Li Fei was a gray-haired old man with the title of junior alchemist, he just glanced at Li Fei casually, and said unashamedly: "I am one of the three alchemists in charge of the junior class, you can call me Master Xu, the other two are Master Chen and Master Ye, they have something to go out, if there is any problem in the future, the first thing is to communicate with each other, and it can't be solved, you can find any of us." ”
Xu Shi paused for a moment and continued: "There are a total of ninety-nine students in the beginner class, and there are just one hundred of you plus you. Some have been in the beginner class for nearly a hundred years, most for decades, and some are just like you, not long ago. The task of the beginner class is one word 'literacy', and if you can pass the assessment of the three of us, you can graduate and enter the intermediate class. After finishing speaking, he threw Li Fei a jade slip and a waist card, and then ignored Li Fei.
Li Fei grabbed the jade slip and said respectfully: "Thank you Master Xu for your advice, the disciple will retire." After exiting Xu Shi's office, Li Fei simply pasted the jade on his forehead, and there was not much content in it, mainly the introduction and precautions, which were clear at a glance.
First of all, there is a brief introduction to the three alchemists, all of whom are junior alchemist titles, it seems that the relatively young Xu Shi's cultivation is the highest, and in the early stage of the Dan formation, Chen Shi and Ye Shi are only in the late stage of foundation building. There are three main venues for activities.
The Library Pavilion, as the name suggests, is naturally a place to learn and consult information; the Rare Elixir Samples Museum, which collects a large number of rare elixir samples for students to learn and observe, is also the most important place in the academy, in addition to the normal guards, there are mysterious masters sitting in the town, there is only one entrance and exit, and you must apply in advance to enter; the common elixir base, a large number of ordinary elixirs are planted, and all the junior apprentices live in it, responsible for daily management and training, and it is also the most basic learning process.
The elixir base is managed by ten of the most senior junior students as guardians, divided into ten areas, rotated every other year, and after ten years, after all the rotations, the students can apply for assessment. Of course, if you think you are sure, you can also ask for an assessment halfway, but there are very few people who do so.
The most important precaution is that the elixir must be carefully cared for, and there can be no vandalism, as for things like stealing, it is a big crime, and the cultivation will be abolished at the least, expelled from the door, and at the worst it will be directly executed, and this kind of thing has hardly happened. If there is something and you need to go out, and the time is not very long, the guardian of the area can approve it after making the corresponding records.
After figuring out the general situation, Li Fei first found the location of the Library Pavilion and the Museum of Rare Elixir Samples, and without staying long, he went directly to the elixir base to report for duty.
It took a stick of incense for Li Fei to arrive at the entrance of the elixir base, and after the disciple in charge of the guard checked the waist card, he didn't say anything, and directly opened the ban and let Li Fei in.
The first time he saw the appearance of the elixir base, Li Fei was deeply shocked! There were several towering peaks, large and small mountains, canyons, and rivers, and there were no boundaries in sight.
At first, Li Fei thought that the area of only dozens of acres or hundreds of acres was remarkable, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated, he looked around casually, and found no large elixir, almost no difference from ordinary mountains. However, Li Fei searched carefully for a while and found that some elixirs he knew and didn't know, and then he understood after thinking about it, growing elixirs is not growing vegetables, and being able to simulate the real environment is naturally the best choice. Of course, except for large sects, small sects, or individual cultivators, there is no such condition, and it can only be arranged according to the actual situation.
After a short pause, Li Fei followed the instructions in the jade slip and found the elixir plantation identified as the first district, a row of simple stone houses distributed by a small stream. Li Fei passed by a small stone house and found that there was no one inside, and finally found the stone house of the actual person in charge of this medicine garden, only to see a middle-aged man dressed like a farmer, who was Song Lin, the current actual person in charge of this medicine garden.
Li Fei noticed that Song Lin, like himself, was also a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, so he bowed and said politely: "Senior Brother Song, I am the new Li Fei, please give me more advice." ”
Song Lin showed a smile, nodded, and said, "I have received instructions from Master Xu. It's not bad that you've been here, we've only been in this area for a short time, so we can get familiar with the elixir here. He then talked about a lot of practical precautions.
Two hours later, Li Fei left Song Lin's stone house and returned to his own small stone house. There are a large number of stone houses here, there are twenty or thirty in total, and only ten of them are actually occupied, so Li Fei chose a relatively independent one. The stone house is not large, and the layout is extremely simple, except for a stone bed, two bamboo baskets, and a shovel, there is nothing left. Li Fei saw that it was getting late, so he didn't go out again, and sat on the stone bed to cultivate.
Early the next morning, Song Lin had a simple meeting, and after Li Fei and the other nine senior brothers introduced and got to know each other, they followed to inspect the medicine garden. Among the eleven people, Song Lin and Li Fei's cultivation is the highest, and there is one in the early stage of foundation building, and the others are in the chemical martial arts stage. In the Danji Sect, the level of alchemy is the first, and the cultivation can only be ranked second, so although Li Fei's cultivation is high, because he has just entered the primary class, he is still ranked last.
However, Li Fei's cultivation is still effective, and the students who are also in the foundation building period can calmly accept the title of senior brother, but the monks in the chemical martial arts period still refuse to accept it, and in the end, it is agreed that they will be called by their names, which can be regarded as a common practice.
After a day of inspection, Li Fei felt very interesting, not only did he know a lot of elixirs, but also had a certain understanding of their habits and growth laws, which was much better than just reading classics and jade slips. Li Fei thought to himself: "This kind of intuitive, visible and audible learning conditions, this one alone, I am afraid that ordinary sects cannot be replicated. ”
After a month, Li Fei got acquainted with everyone, because Li Fei was easy-going and generous, everyone liked to interact with Li Fei very much, and they got along very happily, and basically answered Li Fei's questions.
Especially for the students in the chemical martial arts period, as soon as Li Fei was happy, he would casually send out a few pills of the residual pill of the spirit pill, and after a month, the remaining hundreds of pills of the residual pill of the spirit pill were quickly delivered. For Song Lin, Li Fei was naturally more generous, and after asking him for advice a few times, he took the opportunity to give him ten pills of the spirit pill. Song Lin smiled happily, took good care of Li Fei, and would try his best to help answer any questions. Since everyone was still in the junior apprenticeship stage and had no access to the elixir at all, they were all grateful for Li Fei's gift.
More than half a year later, Li Fei and others were stationed in the second district as usual. Because Li Fei was diligent and inquisitive, and the other students were willing to solve their doubts and made rapid progress, they didn't need to check the information to get all the elixirs in the first area clear, and there was still time to learn additional knowledge in the middle.
Li Fei found that taking care of the medicine garden was not as troublesome as he imagined, and he didn't need to take care of it every day, mainly because of the inspection, so when he got to the back, he began to take the medium-grade spirit pill to cultivate, and then went to the medicine garden to inspect after the cultivation was completed. The other students have been in the medicine garden for a long time and are already familiar with the elixirs in the medicine garden, so in addition to ensuring that two or three people patrol every day, they will go to study selectively across regions. Li Fei will also go with him after completing the elixir study in this area.
There is no time for cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, Li Fei has spent six spring and autumn seasons in the elixir base, and there are constantly students who have left the elixir base because they have passed the assessment, and new students are constantly joining. In general, the number of people who have passed the assessment is smaller, and there are more new members, and there are now one hundred and fifty or sixty people in the elixir base. Li Fei lives a fulfilling life every day, and he has no interest in caring about things that have nothing to do with him.
In the past six years, Li Fei has taken a two-pronged approach, coupled with his previous accumulation, he has memorized all the elixirs in the elixir base. Of course, in order to get other students to actively help, Li Fei spent some spirit stones, and the effect was quite good, saving a lot of time.
On this day, Li Fei said hello to Song Lin, saying that he wanted to go to the Library Pavilion and the Museum of Rare Elixir Samples for a while, and Song Lin readily agreed. Li Fei finally said goodbye to the elixir base.
First of all, Li Fei came to the Museum of Rare Elixir Samples, looking at the huge building with a height of five floors and a length and width of more than ten zhang, he was very excited, and he didn't know how many precious elixirs were treasured inside. After calming down, Li Fei informed the guards of his name and the application that had been approved before, and after verification, he successfully entered the museum.
As soon as he entered, Li Fei felt a huge divine thought sweeping towards him, knowing that it was the Great Elder in charge of the museum's security who was investigating, he stood motionless, and then heard an old voice say: "The place in front of you is a combination formation, you stand up, don't resist, after the test, it will naturally teleport you to the place you want to go." ”
Li Fei respectfully bowed to the front and said, "Yes! Then he took a step forward and stepped into a circle of colored light. As soon as he entered, Li Fei felt a huge force coming, as if he was about to squash himself, and he was shocked, and finally chose not to make any resistance.
It seemed that after a long time, Li Fei felt that he was almost crushed to death, and suddenly he loosened, the pressure disappeared, and then he was teleported away.
After a while, Li Fei was down-to-earth, looked around, and was surprised to find that as if he hadn't moved, everything around him was exactly the same as before, but Li Fei understood that it was definitely not the original place.
At this time, the old voice sounded again, "Now, you can check any elixir, be careful not to touch it, and don't touch other prohibitions, just press to open the lid of the jade box, and the jade slip with relevant content next to it can be viewed." ”
