Chapter Fifty-Seven: Did Your Father Know About Your Runaway?
Di Xue looked at Murong Lie like she was looking at a tsundere bear child, but as everyone knows, the debate between him and Murong Lie was actually a bickering in Niya's eyes, in her eyes, the two men with red faces who were full of contempt and contempt at this time were also full of childishness, and of course, there was also a kind of tsundere that hit the cute point......
"Oh, okay, don't make a noise. Nia turned sideways without moving, blocked between the eyes of the two men, and pulled away from the topic: "Hmm...... Now that I have figured it out, whether it is studying alchemy or practicing anything else, the most important thing is to understand my goal in life and what I want to do, and I will continue to walk on the path of alchemy, and find out what I want to work hard for and devote my life to!"
Nia smiled at Di Xue and said secretly: "First of all, the first step is to configure the alchemy that can improve the fertility of the elf race!"
Di Xue knew that Dao Nia lowered her voice because she didn't want others to hear about the dark elf clan, so she squinted at Murong Lie, who was still staring at him and killing people with his eyes, and directly waved her hand to arrange a soundproof magic cover, and the transient used the dark element to condense an elemental flow barrier to block Murong Lie's direction, and it was annoying to see him......
From the angle of Nia's line of sight, she vaguely saw from the edge of the elemental barrier that Murong Lie angrily gestured his middle finger twice in the direction of Di Xue, and then turned his head and nostrils to look at the flowing clouds outside the porthole, Nia was speechless for a moment, and added another point to the tsundere score of these two guys in her heart......
In fact, after a night and a half-day battle, Di Xue and Murong Lie also had a certain feeling of not fighting and not knowing each other, but maybe it was the same sex rejection, both of them were extremely proud people in their bones, their pride was not exactly the same but they were the same, so it was always unpleasant to look at each other, Di Xue now felt that he didn't see Murong Lie's stinky and arrogant face, and he was suddenly in a much better mood.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I heard Nana say that you came to the Red Sea because you were looking for the materials needed to prepare that kind of potion?
Nia reported the names of several materials to Di Xue, and Di Xue was a little puzzled when she heard this: "These are actually not particularly rare materials, although it is true that they only grow well in some regions, but there is no need to go to various places to collect them? Don't you know that in the empire now, as long as it is an alchemy material store in some large cities, you can basically buy materials that are special products from all over the world?"
Nowadays, in addition to the empire by land or relying on horsepower, the air and water transport industries are very developed, especially air transport, airship routes throughout the empire, as long as there are airship landing fields in slightly more prosperous big cities, and now long-distance transportation basically all rely on air transport, which is not only safe but also fast.
As long as it is a material store opened in a large city, you can basically buy all the materials produced in various parts of the mainland, unless it is something that is particularly rare and will not be put on the market, but as long as you go to a powerful alchemy material store, you can also order it.
So now in the empire, as long as there are enough gold coins in the purse, there is no such thing as going to the field to collect materials, and the various material shops in the city can meet everything for the cultivators, but it depends on whether you are willing to spend money.
However, it's good that Di Xue didn't mention this, as soon as she mentioned this Nia, she didn't get angry, anyway, Di Xue set up a soundproof barrier, and she didn't have any scruples when she spoke: "Don't tell me about those alchemy material stores or anything, I'll be angry when you say it! You humans are too black-hearted! Not only are the materials sold expensive, but all the herbs are artificially cultivated and a lot of growth agents or quick medicines are used! There are even fake medicines! Do you say I can use such things?"
Di Xue smiled a little embarrassedly, in fact, what Nia said, as a prince, he knew about it.
In peacetime, the population of the empire is increasing day by day, and the living conditions have become better and better in recent decades, and the population can even be said to be skyrocketing, so whether it is crops or medicinal materials, these things are in short supply every year, and there is no way to use growth agents and quick medicines, and the planting bases in the provinces use these things, and the royal family actually acquiesces to them.
Because it is impossible for an empire to watch its people starve to death or fall ill and have no cure.
What the empire can do is to control the use of the growth agents and quick medicines that have been certified by official research and are completely harmless to the human body, and this aspect of the technology has always been studied by the empire itself, and it has been developed for hundreds of years until now, and it has been able to ensure that it is used in the crops and medicinal materials eaten by ordinary people without any impact at all.
It's just that the materials used in alchemy are not from ordinary herbs, and the use of accelerators on those alchemy plants will indeed have some effect on them, because they are not something that was researched for them in the first place.
What was originally used on rice and banyan roots, if you use crystal snow lotus, can the effect be different?
But anyway, those alchemy materials are for cultivators to eat, and cultivators' bodies are much stronger than ordinary people, as long as they are not poisonous or mutated, it is okay for them to eat...... It's not a big problem, so the royal family will turn a blind eye, anyway, as long as you dare to sell, you are not afraid of being smashed.
But Niya's sentence that there is a fake medicine still attracted Di Xue's attention, and things like growth agents and quick medicines can still turn a blind eye, but fake drugs can't be tolerated: "You say...... Have you seen a fake medicine in an alchemy material store?"
Nia nodded very seriously: "That's right! Mixed with other real materials, it is a shoddy fake medicine!"
Di Xue was silent for a while, and kept this matter in his heart, there is such a situation in alchemy materials, so what about the medicinal materials used by ordinary people? It seems that after going back this time, he will write to his father and sister to tell them about this matter, or he should go to the market to take a look.
Nia paused for a moment and said very seriously: "You must know that the elven medicine I have researched can increase the fertility of the elf race, but it is not only for internal use, but also for external use! You say, can this princess make fun of our clan's little friends and little sisters? So for the sake of solemnity and prudence, I must go to the birthplace of these materials and search for wild, natural and pollution-free raw materials!"
It turns out that there is also a ...... for external use Di Xue sweated, then thought for a while and said to Nia: "Actually, I can help you find high-quality wild raw materials for these materials you need." ”
Nia was slightly stunned, and said with some embarrassment: "That's too troublesome for you, this time you saved me and Nana, I don't know how to thank you." ”
Di Xue smiled and said her thoughts directly to Nia: "No thanks, in fact, I want to ask you, are you interested in seeing the alchemy of our human beings?"
"See your human alchemy?" asked Nia tentatively.
"Well, let's say, the magic saucer's technique. Di Xue stepped on the iron plate on the ground in the main control room of the flying saucer with her foot.
Nia looked at Di Xue meaningfully: "So you're waiting for me here?"
Di Xue looked very calmly: "It's just a whim, I won't tell you, we have an alchemy technique for the new flying saucer and we can't break through it yet, I just suddenly thought, maybe you, the elven alchemist, have a different way of thinking from our human alchemists, and maybe you will have unique ideas and views." ”
"Hmm...... I know that you don't care about money or anything like that, and if you're willing to work for the Empire, I can provide you with all the alchemy resources you want, and open up access to the Empire's secret alchemy. ”
"How can you be sure that I will definitely find a way to break through the alchemy skill barrier, and...... You're not afraid that I'll leak your Empire's secret techniques?" asked Nia, tilting her head.
Di Xue shrugged her shoulders: "Of course I'm not sure, even now I don't even know what level your alchemy has reached, so after you make some alchemy techniques for my empire, the empire will gradually open up the permission of high-end secret alchemy techniques to you, if you agree to this, my sister will arrange it for you in the future, in short, I can guarantee that if you can really help the empire break through the alchemy technique threshold, then all the secret alchemy of the empire will be for you to study!"
"As for whether you will leak the secret, I believe in the character of the Dark Elf King and his daughter! Leaking the secret is not good for you, betrayal is nothing more than being bribed or threatened, you are the princess of the Dark Elf clan, your home is in Greenstod, and you don't care about human money, so you will not be bought, as for the threat...... Hehe, can't my imperial royal family protect a young girl? And my imperial royal family can keep these secrets sealed for so many years, naturally we have our own methods. ”
Di Xue said it very bluntly, but it was precisely because of such a frank statement that Nia could understand his sincerity.
When Nia heard this, she lowered her head and thought about it, alchemy, which is closer to academic research, is not something that can be achieved by studying silently alone, and being able to refer to the achievements of other senior alchemists will definitely be of great help to alchemists.
The alchemy classics in the dark elf clan have been almost studied by Nia, after all, the dark elf race is a hidden race, and Greenstod is only an underground world, and there are not many alchemy materials and resources in the alchemy clan, in fact, Nia has always had some headaches The alchemy data and alchemy resources in the clan are insufficient. This time she left Greenstod for the purpose of gathering more information and resources.
And in this world, what kind of alchemy materials can be provided by people or powerful forces, compared to the Heavenly Empire, the Manhua Empire, which ruled the entire Red Sea Continent for fourteen epochs?
Moreover, Nia is indeed very curious about human alchemy, and after coming to the Anthropocene realm, she has seen many new things, such as the artificial magic crystal used in the magic lighting system covering the entire city, the huge large airship, and the magic flying saucer she is riding on, etc., all of which are closely related to alchemy.
The wisdom of human beings really shocked her.
So then Nia thought in silence for a while, and then said to Di Xue: "Then if I agree to work for the Empire, I must leave at any time. ”
Di Xue: "Of course. ”
Nia leaned back in her chair, looked up at the passing clouds outside the top window, and muttered to herself, "I didn't expect to sneak out and find a job......
Di Xue heard Nia's self-talk, and said with a strange expression: "Speaking of your runaway, does your father really know the truth?"
