Chapter 11: Learning to Alchemy
"Then are you willing to follow me to learn alchemy?"
"Yes, thank you, Elder." Xiao Ding knew that the Great Elder of the Medicine Refining Department of this outer courtyard was at least a fifth-grade alchemist, so he was naturally willing.
"Okay, good," the Great Elder had a smile on his face, and then looked at Ao Kang on the side and said, "Xiao Ao, take this junior to register, and the first cultivation mentor will fill in my name." ”
"Okay, Grand Elder." Okon looked shocked and nodded in response.
"Ahem...... Xiao Ao, the second mentor will fill in my name. Seeing that the first mentor was hopeless, the six elders hurriedly took the position of the second mentor.
"I ...... Then I'll fill in a third mentor. "The Fifth Elder originally wanted to earn another second mentor, but was glared at by the Great Elder, and chose the third mentor in a huff.
Then he took Xiao Ding out of the elder's office to go through the formalities.
In the office, the fifth elder and the sixth elder watched the dust settle, crying and mourning, looking at each other unpleasantly.
Snorted and turned his head to the side at the same time.
"It's all your fault, if you hadn't quarreled with me, I would have recruited myself a long time ago."
"It's you, you're arguing with me......"
"It's all your fault, it's all your ......"
“……”
Outside the door, Xiao Ding, who was not far away, heard a noise in the office, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, these two old men were a little interesting.
However, thinking of the words of several elders, Xiao Ding was a little puzzled, and asked Mentor Ao Kang to the side, "Don't you need to apprentice to learn alchemy in the academy?" ”
You must know that according to the meaning of the original book, the alchemist attaches great importance to the teacher-teacher relationship.
"Our academy can't apprentice to these teachers, otherwise what's the point of the academy having such an alchemy department?" O'Com explains:
"Most of the alchemists in the academy are trained with the resources of the academy, and if they accept apprentices, they are of a private nature, and they are all like this, the alchemists in the alchemy department all uphold their own opinions, who can still show their real skills to support teaching."
"Oh, I see." Xiao Ding nodded in understanding.
"You are lucky today, you just happened to meet Elder Huo and have a heart of love, otherwise an alchemist of his level would not normally lead a student directly." Ocon said enviously.
"Yes." Xiao Ding really didn't know about this, in the original book, Xiao Yan was directly absent from school for two years, and when he came, he went directly to the inner courtyard, and he really didn't know the situation in the outer courtyard.
……
Soon, with the help of Aokang's mentor, Xiao Ding completed the formalities at a very fast speed.
By the way, I received the benefits of a newcomer who joined the alchemy department.
A temporary low-level ring, about five or six cubic meters of space.
Inside are two sets of special alchemist robes, a two-hole medicine tripod, basic books organized by the alchemy department, and a thousand copies of primary medicinal materials.
In the following year, you can also receive 20 copies of primary medicinal materials with a pint of pills every month.
After a year, if you have not yet become a first-grade alchemist, you need to earn money to buy medicinal materials by receiving the task of refining medicinal liquid from the school or other means.
Xiao Ding was a little stunned when he saw the resources distributed by the academy, he had also been in contact with a lot of business in the Xiao family, and he knew the value of these things.
As far as the medicinal materials are equipped, the market price will be at least 200,000 gold coins this year.
And with the addition of the Medicine Ding and the Junior Ring, the resources spent by the academy to train an alchemist are conservatively estimated to be worth no less than 500,000 gold coins.
This is equivalent to the entire income of the entire Xiao family in the past five years.
It's no wonder that Canaan Academy is so favored by middle- and lower-class fighters in these great empires in the northwest.
The cultivation environment is good, and it is not as powerful as the restraints of the sect, so it is naturally an ideal holy place for low-level cultivators.
Of course, the resources of ordinary students are not as terrifying as cultivating alchemists, but they are very friendly to small families or civilians.
After receiving the benefits, Ao Kang took Xiao Ding back to the Great Elder's office before leaving.
Xiao Ding knocked on the door and entered, looking at the elder in front of him, he also knew the other party's name.
It is the fire elder who often appears in the original book, the great elder of the alchemy department of the outer courtyard, and his real name is Huo Yao.
"Fire Master." Xiao Ding shouted respectfully.
"Hahaha, it's Xiao Ding, have you received everything?" Elder Huo looked at Xiao Ding and said with a gentle smile.
"Well, Mentor Aukang took me to get it." Xiao Ding nodded.
"That's good, I don't have to be so restrained, just call the teacher in the future."
Elder Huo got up and walked up to Xiao Ding and patted him, and then saw a flash of light in Elder Huo's hand.
Two thick books appeared in his hands, with two scrolls on them.
"This book is the teacher's own summary of the experience of refining medicine and two volumes of one-pin pills, you take it and study it first.
Come here when school officially starts, and if I'm not there, you can find your second or third tutor.
Those two guys don't look serious, but they're still okay in teaching. ”
"Okay, thank you, teacher!" Xiao Ding took the thing and put it into the ring.
"Well, then you go first, first learn the alchemist foundation you received in the ring, and then look at what I gave you after you can accurately identify the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials."
"Okay, the student is quitting." Xiao Ding exited Elder Fire's office.
I went to the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder again, and was told that the two elders wanted to prove who was more powerful and went to the trial pill.
Helplessly, Xiao Ding, who originally wanted to go to the meeting gift, left the alchemy department and prepared to go back to his own hospital.
As a result, as he walked, Xiao Ding suddenly discovered a fact that he had to admit.
He couldn't even find where his courtyard was.
After all, this is not a previous life, there are navigation, there are road signs, signs everywhere.
Helpless, Xiao Ding could only find someone to ask for directions, so he came all the way to his dormitory, A 53.
Along the way, Xiao Ding was assigned to the dormitory, or this community, which was all a separate courtyard.
Scattered on a hill, cobblestone-paved paths, surrounded by green belts, visual inspection of the same as his no less than fifty courtyards.
Xiao Ding couldn't help but sigh again about the college's wealth.
Back in the annex, the whole room was clean and tidy.
"Big brother, how's it going?" When Xiao Li saw him coming back, he stepped forward and asked.
"All the best!" Xiao Ding said with a smile.
"Hahaha, that's good, I can't imagine that our Xiao family will be able to produce an alchemist one day." Xiao Li smirked.
The two walked into the hall and sat down, Xiao Ding glanced at the house and asked, "Have you seen this courtyard, how is it?" ”
"Very good, I just checked it, there are two floors in total, and there is also an underground cultivation secret room, which can be used for retreat." Xiao Li introduced the situation.
Xiao Ding explained to his second brother, chose a room to live in, and began to study the alchemist resources obtained today.
Xiao Ding took out all the resources and books in the ring.
There are not many books, and the logistics office of the college has distributed more than a dozen.
There are "Encyclopedia of Primary Medicinal Materials", "Introduction to Alchemy", and "Eighty Tips to Become an Alchemist"
"The precautions that must be said for the alchemist from entry to the earth", "The self-cultivation of the alchemist", "Ten prescriptions for preschool education, hand training", ......
Finally, there was also a summary of his own refining experience and two volumes of Dan Fang given by Elder Huo.
Xiao Ding took a look at the Dan Fang, which was a kind of hemostatic muscle pill for healing injuries and a kind of Huli Pill that broke out in a short time.
Xiao Ding looked at the books in front of him and smiled brightly, and after waiting for half a year, he finally had the opportunity to learn alchemy.
