Chapter Twenty-Three: The Muppet of the Shimmering Sun (Seeking Follow-up)
"An apprentice can, but it is estimated that he can't learn alchemy."
"That junior alchemist in our pharmacy felt that his eyes were on the top of his head, and he was so proud that he couldn't help it. Even my father wanted me to learn alchemy with him. ”
Huang Zhicheng said angrily, apparently Chen Wei's words brought back his bad memories.
"Forget it, I'll find another way myself."
Chen Wei had no choice but to reply helplessly, he just wanted to try. After all, he didn't want to go to the Alchemist Guild and start as a student.
Apprentices can not be compared to apprentices, apprentices can at least learn something, and apprentices are just simple workers, doing basic work, and they have to pass a year or two of alchemists' inspections to become apprentices, purely relying on the eyes of alchemists.
Don't look down on apprentices, even if they are apprentices, they need to be related to people to obtain, and ordinary people don't have to think about it.
Of course, if you can awaken your natal talent for alchemy, then you will become a sweetheart.
The door of the Alchemist Association is open to you at any time, and if you want to enter that gate, you can easily become an alchemist.
But unfortunately, Chen Wei's talent has nothing to do with the alchemist.
He also thought about teaching himself to become an alchemist by relying on online teaching videos. But because there is no master to lead the door, there is not much progress in relying on the teaching videos on the Internet alone.
Through online self-study, Chen Wei only learned how to distinguish medicinal materials and confirm the medicinal properties, which plant derivatives on pet beasts can be used as medicinal materials for alchemy.
At least so far, Chen Wei had never heard of a self-taught alchemist in Donghua.
……
After chatting and running, Chen Wei returned to the apartment with a fine sweat.
After a while, Chen Wei, who had finished taking a bath, was sitting on the bed and practicing the meditation of the source star.
He didn't plan to go to the Beast Master Association to train today, after all, renting a venue for a day was also a lot of money, and the practice of telekinesis could also be carried out in the room.
Not far away, Cai Ling on the sofa was opening her big eyes, and the ice crystals on her head were still blooming with blue and white light.
Concentrated, she was using her telekinesis to control the dumbbells to move continuously in the air, but unfortunately her telekinesis could only last for more than ten seconds each time.
"Bang...... Bang...... Bang. So every once in a while, Chen Wei could hear the dull sound caused by dumbbells falling onto the sofa.
After going back and forth like this a few times, she seemed to feel that the weight of the 2.5 kg dumbbell was a bit light, and Cai Ling began to use her mental power to add dumbbell pieces to the dumbbells intermittently, but the progress of her installation of dumbbell plates was extremely slow.
Ten minutes have passed, and she has not yet installed the dumbbell plates, obviously it is very simple when she watches the operation of the beast master.
After trying it a few times, Cai Ling, who was mentally exhausted due to overuse of telekinesis, impatiently slapped the dumbbell with her tail, but she never intended to use the tail to install it.
Chen Wei told her before: "Where you can use telekinesis in today's training, try to use telekinesis." ”
Not admitting defeat, she squinted her eyes and began to rest, ready to try again later. The installation of dumbbell plates can be done without the use of a tail at all.
Chen Wei sat on the bed meditating and cultivating the source star, while Cai Ling practiced telekinesis on the sofa.
The two sides do their own thing, but there is an indescribable tacit understanding. One person and one pet maintained such a state of cultivation for a day.
After a few days, both of them had gradually adapted to such a monotonous and boring life.
……
A luxurious villa located near the center of Shuishan, which has an alchemy room dedicated to alchemy.
In the center of the alchemy room is a bottle of quaint black-brown medicine pod.
Above the pod were two spitting dragon heads, and below them, a dark golden dragon was carved as if it was roaring.
And there are many fine hollows in the giant mouth of the divine dragon, which are emitting orange-red flames.
At the top of the pod is a maroon lid, and the thin holes in the lids are steaming.
In the center of the front of the pod, there is a circular transparent crystal, which can be observed inside.
Liu Muning was opening the transparent crystal essence hole door at this time, and then continued to throw all kinds of medicinal materials into the ding.
Not long after the medicinal herbs entered the ding, they were refined into white powder.
……
Beside Liu Muning, there was a bright king-level pet beast [Shuo Sun Puppet] that was constantly spitting flames into the ding.
It has long, pointed ears with tiny titanium crystals scattered around them, and clusters of orange-red flames burning in its hair.
Graceful and majestic, he has bright red jewel eyes above his cheeks, and his body is covered with fiery red hair.
Its limbs were slightly thick, and a faint smoke seemed to rise from the soles of its feet.
"Ruby, increase the temperature of the flame by three layers." Liu Muning closed the small round door on the medicine pod and passed it with his thoughts.
Hearing this, the flames that erupted from the mouth of the Shimmering Sun puppet turned orange-red to dark red.
Liu Muning's face solemnly felt the continuous changes in the ding. Under the high temperature of smoking, the white powder of medicinal herbs gradually began to take on a reddish color, as if it was glowing slightly.
A few minutes later, she poured the clear liquid from a white jade bottle into the ding, and as the liquid and powder fused with each other, the ding's interior slowly emitted a soft turquoise glow.
When the light disappeared, what was left in the pod was a pile of mushy unknown medicines.
"Ruby, stop." Seeing this, Liu Muning immediately passed on the order.
The flames in the mouth of the Shimmering Sun puppet disappeared instantly.
It shook its head, apparently keeping the flames flowing for a long time, motionless, making its neck a little stiff and uncomfortable.
Liu Mu smelled the medicinal fragrance coming from the ding, observed the luster on the paste, and showed a faint smile on his face.
This furnace of third-order Ten Thousand Soul Paste seems to have been successfully refined, and it looks like the quality is not bad, reaching the excellent level.
"It's a good job, and the temperature is well grasped today."
She touched Ruby's head affectionately again.
What was amazing was that the flames burning on the red jade's head did not cause any damage to Liu Muning's soft wattle.
Liu Mooning put the plasters in the ding into the white jade bottle one by one and walked out of the stuffy alchemy room.
Looking at Gu Yun who was standing outside the door and waiting, she said with a smile: "Are there any noteworthy talents among the people who have come for an interview recently?" ”
"There have been one hundred and eighty-three interviewers in the past few days, and only two of them have awakened their natal talents."
Gu Yun added: "One is a junior alchemist who has awakened the talent of fire control, and the other is an appraiser who has awakened the talent of identification. ”
Liu Muning sighed lightly, "Yes, there are actually two more, then follow the old rules, and the interview will be completed tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Okay, Mr. Liu."
Gu Yun took it for granted that the interview of every talent awakened person in the puppet mall had to be personally assessed by Miss She.
"By the way, hasn't Chen Wei come to work these days?" Liu Muning's tone was a little flat.
"Yes." Gu Yun's body stiffened slightly.
"I hope to see him come to work tomorrow morning." The mobile phone rang, and Liu Muning looked at the news and said casually.
"Understood."
Gu Yun nodded, and then silently followed Liu Muning's steps to leave, always maintaining a distance of half a step back as he walked.
