Volume 2 Imperial Academy Chapter 91 Apprenticeship

"Huh, this theory is very novel, I really haven't thought about it from this angle, it's a little interesting, it's a little interesting!" Hearing Bai Bing's words, Old Man Mu slapped his thigh, looking fascinated, and he was very happy to have made new discoveries in academics.

Then he suddenly reacted, there shouldn't be a third person in this room, and immediately turned his head, and together with Old Man Huang, he stared at Bai Bing.

The eyes of the two old men suddenly turned, and Bai Bing felt like he was being targeted by two ancient dragons, and there was a strong coercion rushing towards him, making him almost can't help but crawl on the ground, begging for forgiveness.

However, the arrogance in Bai Bing's bones made him refuse to do so, and secretly activated the star drill, and a warm current immediately flowed through his body, making that sense of coercion almost completely disappear. Then Bai Bing bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry to disturb the two seniors, the student just came into contact with alchemy in the afternoon, and wanted to find a place to do experiments and experience the knowledge learned from books, it was Angel from the library who recommended me to come here." I heard the discussion between the two seniors just now, and I was happy to see the hunt for a while, and I made a fallacy and asked the two seniors to forgive me. ”

After speaking, Bai Bing looked at the two old men nervously, after all, judging from the coercion that the two of them invisibly exuded just now, neither of them was a fuel-efficient lamp.

"What? You only came into contact with alchemy this afternoon, so you can tell the theory just now?" Old Mu's expression changed drastically, and the five fingers on his thighs immediately tightened, and his joints were slightly white, and then he groaned, turned to Old Man Huang and said, "Old Huang, what do you think?"

"In these years, there are not a few people who deceive the world and steal their reputation, maybe some people deliberately prepare some shocking remarks to attract people's attention, maybe Mu Lao might as well compare this kid and then make a judgment. Huang Lao touched his short beard and said very calmly.

"It's okay, boy, you are in the library in the afternoon, which book are you reading?" Mu Lao nodded at Huang Lao, and then asked with a finger at Bai Bing, with a kind of confidence in his words that he knew everything about the world's alchemy books.

"Back to the predecessors, the students read "The Origin of Alchemy and the Popularization of Knowledge". Although I don't know why the two old men suddenly became serious and had to give themselves exams, out of respect for the elders and a strange sixth sense, Bai Bing still replied very respectfully.

"Well, that kid's book can still be read. Mu Lao said nonchalantly, but outside of his words, he actually called the generation of alchemy grandmasters a kid, could it be that his attainments in alchemy are higher than that of grandmasters? This is really unbelievable!

Mu Lao continued: "In that case, you can do the equivalent exchange experiment mentioned by Bertlym, and let me see your technique." ”

When Bai Bing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, Lao Tzu originally wanted to do experiments here, since you gave me this opportunity, no matter what, there was no reason to miss it, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

"Okay, then I'll borrow the test bench outside, I hope Mu Lao doesn't mind. After Bai Bing finished speaking, he walked out of the hut and walked towards a test bench outside.

Mu Lao and Huang Lao glanced at each other, and they both immediately followed.

Bai Bing walked to a test bench made of silver metal, casually removed a few pieces of equipment needed for the test from the shelf, and placed them in front of him.

Then he opened another cabinet full of magic materials, which contained a dazzling array of magic materials, including some extremely rare materials that were very expensive and extremely rare, Bai Bing thought for a while, took out a piece of the most common black iron, and took another piece of chalk amber and put it in a cylindrical reaction vessel.

Bai Bing's series of actions, although a little rusty, are decisive and simple, without dragging the mud and water.

Mu Lao observed Bai Bing's every move with a sophisticated and vicious eye, and couldn't help nodding secretly, his heart said that this son really didn't deceive people, judging from his actions, he should have never been in contact with alchemy, at least he had not undergone formal alchemy education, but his techniques and ideas were quite spiritual, and he could be taught.

The test to be done by Bai Bing, placed on the earth in the previous life, is called displacement reaction, which refers to the interaction of one element and one compound to generate another element and another compound, which is one of the four basic reaction types in chemistry. I have already studied chemistry in junior high school, and it is also one of the few chemistry knowledge that Bai Bing remembers.

Bai Bing's hands were spread out, surrounding the reactor, and then activated the ancient magic power in his body, completely without any modification, forming the most primitive and purest magic heat source in his hands.

Catalyzed by the magic of the ancients, the chalky amber inside the reactor slowly melted, gradually liquefied from a brilliant crystallization into a thick paste.

Seeing this scene, Bai Bing knew that his experiment had made a good start, the magic vortex in his body kept rotating at high speed, and his hands continued to release magic power to ensure that the reaction continued.

Under the continuous catalysis of the high intensity of the ancient magic, the originally thick paste in the reactor became clearer and more transparent, and gradually dissolved into a liquid of normal density.

At this time, the black iron surrounded by the liquid began to slowly change color, the dark surface became lighter and lighter, gradually changing to a dazzling silver, and the chalky amber solution began to become cloudy.

After a few minutes, the normal piece of black iron was completely gone, replaced by a piece of mythril that shone with a mysterious light. The original clear solution has also become a dim yellow liquid, and after cooling again, it will become a yellow crystal, that is, citrine amber.

Finally completed the test, Bai Bing breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on the top of his head, took the reaction dish in his hand and shook it to observe, and after confirming that the test was successful, he was ready to take it to the second elder for review.

However, when he turned around, he found that the atmosphere in the room was very strange, and the two elders were looking at themselves with a solemn face, as if they were looking at a little monster that had just been born.

What the hell is going on? Did I do something wrong just now? Looking at the second elder's solemn expression, although Bai Bing only muttered in his heart, but now in this situation, he could only bite the bullet, pick up the reaction dish and walk over, and hand it to the second elder.

"Mu Lao, Huang Lao, the equivalent exchange experiment I just did is to catalyze black iron and chalk amber with magic power, under this condition, the two will react and convert into Mithril and citrine amber, but the total energy before and after the reaction remains the same, which is absolutely in line with the law of equivalent exchange. ”

After Bai Bing finished speaking, he carefully observed the expressions on the faces of Mu Lao and Huang Lao, and he didn't know whether they were dissatisfied.

Mu Lao and Huang Lao glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both found a trace of surprise, but there was a little worry behind the surprise.

Huang Lao grinned, spoke first, and said to Mu Lao, "Congratulations, Old Man Mu, you always envy me for having a few good apprentices, and you have been struggling to find a successor, this time, this kid can be described as a good seedling sent to the door, you don't want to miss it." ”

Mu Lao didn't answer, but asked Bai Bing, "Boy, are you a freshman this year, what's your name, the Ministry of Magic or the Dou Qi Department?"

"Yes, my name is Bai Bing, and I am a first-year student in the Divine Eagle Department of the Dou Qi Department. Bai Bing replied immediately.

"Well, then let me ask you, since you are from the Dou Qi Department, why do you have ancient magic power in your body?, how do you cultivate these magic powers?" Mu Lao's face changed, and he asked sharply.

Although Mu Lao's voice was stern, Bai Bing could feel that he was not actually malicious, so he was not too worried. However, the talent of Star Diamond and Bridge of Chaos is absolutely not to be told to others, and a reason must be found to prevaricate the past.

Bai Bing's mind turned, and he already had the answer in his heart, "Mu Lao is really sharp-eyed, and he can see at a glance that the magic power in my body is ancient magic power, but in fact, this problem has not happened for a long time, but it has been bothering me." It was during the entrance exam, we passed by the teleportation array leading to the war golem square, and when I stood on the teleportation array, suddenly a wave of magic power entered my sea of qi, and it continued to grow. It was only later that I was able to determine that the magic in my body was not the magic that was now popular, but the magic of the ancients. ”

This answer is half-true and half-false, although all the key parts are hidden, but in comparison with the truth, it cannot be regarded as a lie, and it can be said that it has the necessary conditions for a perfect lie.

However, in the face of the two seniors with such rich experience, Bai Bing was still uneasy in his heart, waiting for Mu Lao's sentence on him.

"Oh, is the teleportation array left over from the Elven Empire? Old Man Huang, what do you think?" After listening to Bai Bing's answer, Old Mu frowned slightly, and then turned his head to ask Old Huang next to him.

"If the ancient elves really left something strange behind in the teleportation array, it's not new, after all, it's a bunch of crazy people with sick brains. Huang Lao still had that unfathomable appearance, his eyes were like a pool of bottomless spring water, holding the just-made Mithril and playing with it, and suddenly two fingers pinched lightly, and he actually pinched out two holes in the Mithril, which is known for its hardness, and Bai Bing was dumbfounded.

Huang Lao continued: "However, even if what this kid just said is true, it must be a very important thing to conceal! However, this Imperial Academy has an iron rule that has never been written into the school rules, but it is an iron law that everyone must abide by, that is, it is allowed to have its own secrets, and it is not allowed to force others to tell their secrets. So in my opinion, what matters is not where this kid's ancient magic comes from, but how it develops and how it is used. ”

"Besides, this kid is here to learn alchemy, as for the ancient magic on his body, what if you don't exist there?"

After saying this, Bai Bing's heart was shocked, like sitting on pins and needles, thinking that Jiang was really old and spicy, and under Huang Lao's electricity-like gaze, he was almost as transparent as he could not hide anything.

But when Mu Lao heard it in his ears, he couldn't help nodding, and in the end, he laughed, as if he had untied a knot in his heart, patted Huang Lao's shoulder and said, "Okay, you old man Huang, you will mess around on weekdays, but I didn't expect that at critical moments, you can also give advice, haha." ”

Then he pointed at Bai Bing, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Boy, you are really lucky, let me ask you, would you like to learn alchemy with me?"
