Chapter 15: The Covenant of Master and Apprentice, Each Separately
So Li Chongrun looked at the old Fang Shi and asked very casually.
"If I ask you to refine this flavor medicine, how much do you think you want?" Li Chongrun's experiment in making sulfonamides would be in danger of exploding, and he was thinking that he needed to pay Lao Fang more handsomely.
Unexpectedly, the old man's eyes widened, and he stared at him deadly.
Li Chongrun was furious when he saw it, and the old Fangshi's breathing was much heavier.
"You mean, you, want to teach me this Danfang? Let me refine this elixir? There was even a fanatical old alchemist in his eyes who asked word by word.
"What's ...... Questions? Li Chongrun still didn't understand why the old man had this reaction.
"Hahaha! Refine, I'll refine, I don't want money, I'll refine, whoever regrets it is a dog! "The old Fang Shi Fan Jin was average, crying and laughing, dancing with his hands.
Li Chongrun understands how his brothers died, if there is no door on his mouth like him, he will definitely be hacked to death, and if there is a door on his mouth, he will be killed.
It's a good thing that Li Chongrun is also a prince, from the beginning of entering the house, this old man has a mouthful of "rolling", a mouthful of "dog-raised", if others hear it and reach His Majesty's ears, these are all big crimes, if you don't die, who will die.
Seeing his excited appearance, Li Chongrun was so frightened that he hurriedly persuaded him: "You put down that alum oil!" Put it down! Don't hurt anyone! ”
"Let him be happy, the alum oil he made, he knows that decades of life have been wasted in vain, and suddenly the willows and flowers are bright, even if it is just a hope, it is worth his happiness." Di Renjie pointed out the psychology of the old man.
Only then did Li Chongrun understand what it meant for him to hand over the sulfonamide formula to the old Fangshi to make it.
After decades of walking on a road full of thorns left and right, with no purpose, and the horizon ends farther away, suddenly you see a mirage that tells you that your destination has arrived, and even if you know it's fake, you force yourself to believe it's real.
"If the elixir is refined and effective, I am willing to serve His Royal Highness King Shao as a teacher!" After the old Fang Shi calmed down, he solemnly promised Li Chongrun.
Wait a while, I am Di Renjie's default apprentice, Lao Fangshi is Di Renjie's brother, Lao Fangshi wants to be my apprentice, my master and my apprentice are the same generation, my master is my apprentice......
"Okay, let's go our separate ways." Li Chongrun nodded with a strange expression.
Di Renjie also felt that the seniority was a little messy, and he couldn't help frowning.
The three of them didn't dwell on this for too long, and Li Chongrun began to tell the old Fang Shi which steps to use.
It also taught the old alchemist how to distill the liquor to obtain a high degree of liquor.
In fact, this requires a lot of people to do it together, but the old Fang Shi is very stubborn and doesn't want outsiders to know about the elixir recipe.
As soon as Li Chongrun mentioned finding someone to help, the old man's face collapsed, and he could only give up.
"You do it alone, and when you finish it, the old man will close his eyes!" Di Renjie knew that he couldn't be lazy about this, so he scolded the old man.
The old man stiffened his neck: "The Dan recipe taught by His Royal Highness King Shao is wonderful, it can spontaneously send out thunder and lightning, purify the wine syrup, and if the elixir is effective, outsiders will learn it......"
"But Danfang is His Highness, and His Highness doesn't have so much time to wait for you to make it slowly!" Di Renjie's words were like the last spear, piercing the old man's nerves.
The old Fang Shi opened his mouth to speak, his hands were raised, and finally he reacted, indeed, Dan Fang was not his.
Leave it all to him to do, I'm afraid that it will take days to experiment once, and this kind of thing is impossible to be absolutely successful at one time.
The old man thought for a long time, ran to open the courtyard door, and shouted outside.
"Little bunny, come here!" The old alchemist's voice spread throughout the alley.
Di Renjie and Li Chongrun didn't understand who he was shouting.
The click of running barefoot through the street sounded intensively, from the old alchemist shouting to a child about ten years old panting and running over to support the courtyard wall, it was almost useless.
"Master, you, are you looking for me?" The child's face was dirty, and there were grains at the corners of his mouth, and it could be seen that he was still eating when he was shouted by the old man.
"Well, go wash your face first, there are nobles at home, don't lose face." The old man took up his status and majesty in this alley.
The child hurriedly saluted, entered the courtyard, and saw Li Chongrun and Di Renjie, who were extraordinary, and bowed to the end again.
When the child went to wash his face, Li Chongrun asked about the old man.
"Who is this?" Li Chongrun felt that it seemed a bit childish for the old Fang Shi to call a child to help.
"Alas, when I moved in here, everyone knew that I was an alchemy practitioner, and my status was different from theirs, and I always had the hope of becoming a talent, and hoped that I would take their children as apprentices, even if it was just to learn to read."
"But I don't have that mind, I've finished refining with the master's Danfang, it's not as good as shit."
"I tried alchemy by myself again, and many inexplicable things came out of my hands, and none of them were useful, so I was very decadent."
"This child was precocious, pampered by his parents, and bold, so he took advantage of that time to take care of my diet and daily life, and I confiscated him as a disciple, nor did I teach him alchemy."
"The word is taught, then the child is satisfied, the child's parents are also grateful every time they see me, and I want to give gifts during the New Year's holidays, and I refuse behind closed doors."
"This child is no worse than an adult, and the most important thing is that he is very obedient and smart, let him help, and he will not go wrong." The old alchemist introduced the apprentice he was hesitant to recognize.
"It's a good thing to have a mantle to pass on." Di Renjie patted the old alchemist's shoulder and coughed for a while.
"Go away, go away, my hands have just gotten yellow mud, and my clothes are dirty." The old man hated Di Renjie's behavior very much.
"It's okay, the old man wiped it clean on you." There is a reason why Di Renjie is hated.
Two old urchins.
When the child washed his hands and face, Li Chongrun saw that the other party might feel sorry for himself, or he was afraid of embarrassing the old man, so his hands and face were red.
"Call me master from now on." The old man was happy today, and he gave this kid what he dreamed of.
"The disciple knocks on the teacher." When the child heard the words of ecstasy, he fell to the ground and bowed down.
After accepting the nine rings, the old Fang Shi introduced Li Chongrun and Di Renjie to the child.
Children don't have much to think about.
I only feel that my master is a down-and-out monk, haven't you seen that the prince and Di Qingtian have come to visit?
The old alchemist's figure was elevated in this child's heart.
Li Chongrun frowned, he didn't even recognize what the grain at the corner of the child's mouth was when he came in earlier.
His heart suddenly became heavy.
A chicken is a penny......
Is this really normal in Shenjing?
The old Fangshi's newly recognized apprentice was a child king, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned a bunch of children to help.
The old alchemist strictly divided everyone's work and forbade them to communicate with each other.
There were also adults in the alley who wanted to get involved, but they were frightened away by the old Fangshi's sneer.
The dangerous steps were all carried out by the old alchemist himself, and his apprentices gave him a hand.
The whole courtyard was busy.
