Chapter 14: Entering the Alchemy Department

Not long after, the two of them walked to a quiet courtyard. The courtyard was very simple and there was no luxurious decoration. If you didn't know, you would think it was just an ordinary civilian family.

Ruolin went forward and knocked on the door first, then said: "Principal Hu Qian, I have brought Xiao Ling here."

"Okay, let him in, I'm very curious about him." A powerful voice came from the house. Although it sounded a little old, its voice was very penetrating and could not be underestimated.

Xiao Ling pushed open the door and walked into the small house. He bowed to Hu Qian first and said, "Student Xiao Ling, meet Principal Hu Qian." He looked up and looked at Hu Qian.

He wore a black and white robe and a big hat with white gold patterns on his head. A pair of gold-framed glasses rested on his somewhat old face, and there was a tuft of white beard on his chin, which gave people a very friendly feeling.

Hu Qian stopped writing and looked up at Xiao Ling, not caring about the look he had just given him. He smiled amiably and said, "Child, how old are you this year? Why do you want to come to Canaan College? What is your current cultivation level?"

"Dean, I am eight years old this year and I am already a fighter." Xiao Ling said calmly, with a glimmer of maturity far beyond that of an ordinary child in his eyes. "I want to quickly enhance my strength, and I am also very interested in alchemy, so I chose to join Canaan College."

As his voice fell, Xiao Ling exuded the unique aura of a fighter. Although he was still very immature, it was enough for people to feel his potential.

Hu Qian heard this and felt the aura of Xiao Ling. He stepped forward and touched Xiao Ling's hand, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. He was already very happy.

He has a solid foundation in cultivation, and his physical fitness is stronger than some fighters. He also has a strong beast fire in his body. The attribute of his fighting spirit is also fire mixed with a trace of wood attribute. His soul power is also quite strong. He is a natural alchemist. Haha, with such a genius, my Canaan College will surely be great again.

Seeing Hu Qian's eyes that seemed to want to eat him up, Xiao Ling's forehead was covered with a drop of cold sweat, and he hurriedly said: "Dean Hu Qian, is there anything else?"

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Hu Qian's old face turned red, and he coughed twice and said: "I won't beat around the bush with you. Your talent is the best in Canaan College in the past hundred years, and you can be considered a top genius in Zhongzhou Continent. We plan to do our best to cultivate your growth, but the benefits are not taken for nothing. After you graduate from the college, you will serve as an elder in the college. I also know that Canaan College will not be your final destination, and you can also go out to gain experience, As long as Canaan College is in danger, you can help. When you are old, it is also a good choice to live here. Moreover, our Canaan College has a profound foundation. Although the principal is not in the college, he has left many precious treasures. It is definitely the best place to train you at this stage. If you don’t want to become an elder of the college, we will also train you well. Although the resources are not so much, it is better than the treatment of S-level freshmen. You just need to remember this incense in the future. So what is your answer? "After saying that, he stared at Xiao Ling, and the smile on his face disappeared.

Seeing Hu Qian's serious eyes, Xiao Ling did not hesitate too much and said, "I am willing to become an elder of the college after graduation. The college has helped me to become a talent. I will definitely protect the peace of the college and contribute to the development of the college. I will not let the college down for cultivating me."

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Hu Qian laughed, "Okay, then you go back to your dormitory to rest first. If you want to learn alchemy, go to the Alchemy Department tomorrow. The instructor there will teach you alchemy." After that, he took out a ring and handed it to Xiao Ling, "There are medicinal materials for refining first-grade to third-grade elixirs in it, which are enough for your early practice. If the medicinal materials are not enough, you can come to me again."

Reaching out to take the ring and nodded, Xiao Ling thanked him, turned around and walked out of the room, asked Teacher Ruolin about the location of his dormitory, and told her that he would go to the Alchemy Department tomorrow, and then walked away alone.

Xiao Ling looked at the ring in his hand and felt a little touched. Although Xiao Yan in the original novel could make medicine easily, apart from his talent, he had a Medicine Master who was known as the No. 1 Alchemist in Douqi Continent to teach him personally. Even so, Xiao Yan also spent a lot of medicinal materials. In all these years, the Jia Ma Empire has only produced one sixth-grade alchemist, Gu He, who was cultivated by Yun Lan Zong with countless resources. It can be seen how much resources alchemists consume.

He came back to his senses and stopped thinking about these things. He came to his dormitory and opened the door. He sat on the bed, and the fatigue from the turbulent flight and cultivation in the past few days surged into his body. He stretched his waist and fell asleep.

The next morning

Xiao Ling woke up from the bed in the college dormitory. After washing up, he put on the school uniform on the bedside table, looked in the mirror, and was very satisfied with this outfit.

After leaving the cabin, he couldn't wait to run towards the alchemy department.

Walking on the bluestone path in the campus, watching the boys and girls in school uniforms coming and going and communicating with each other, Xiao Ling looked a little dazed, as if he had returned to the familiar university life in his previous life. He smiled and shook his head, "It's impossible to go back to the past."

After a while, he arrived at the door of the Alchemy Department. Xiao Ling found a middle-aged man who seemed to be a mentor and expressed his idea of ​​joining the Alchemy Department.

The mentor first asked Xiao Ling if he had the talent of an alchemist and whether he had learned alchemy before.

After explaining that he only had the attributes of an alchemist but had never learned the art of alchemy, and after confirming that what he said was true by testing the Dou Qi attributes, the instructor first told Xiao Ling about the common sense of the alchemy system.

"First, in our Alchemy Department, instructors who are fourth-grade alchemists or above will give lectures regularly. The courses are open to the public and anyone can attend. You can ask the instructor questions after class."

"Of course, if a student has outstanding alchemist qualifications and is accepted as a disciple by his mentor. The mentor is willing to spend time and teach his students everything, of course it is another matter."

"Secondly, in our alchemy department, every time you advance to the first level of alchemist, you can get three elixir prescriptions as rewards. You can choose the type of prescriptions. If you want to get more prescriptions, you need to exchange them with contribution points, and contribution points are You can help the academy practice medicine in exchange. Remember, the prescriptions obtained from the academy are not allowed to be passed on to anyone else."

"Of course, the medicinal materials that help the college refine medicine are provided by the college, but the elixir yield rate needs to be guaranteed. In addition, alchemists of different levels can apply to the college for certain medicinal materials for practice every month. Regardless of success or failure, if the elixir is returned successfully If the college fails, the medicinal materials will also come from the college.”

"However, you are still a novice, so you don't have to think about it so much for the time being. Just study hard first. Remember my suggestion. The growth of an alchemist consumes huge resources. You first buy more medicinal materials and practice. After you get the products, You can help the college refine medicine to obtain follow-up resources.”

Xiao Ling nodded to express his understanding and looked down at the Najie in his hand. Without the support of medicinal materials from the academy, he might have to work hard to earn resources in order to improve his level of alchemy.

Suddenly, an old man walked out of the medicine refining department. When he saw Xiao Ling, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Boy, you are the new student who just came here. Xiao Ling, right? I am in charge of refining medicine." A fifth-grade alchemist, you can call me Elder Huo."

The fact that the academy has recruited an eight-year-old nine-star fighter is already well known among the higher-ups of the academy.

The eight-year-old fighter Jiuxing was so exaggerated. He had never seen such a person in his life.

As time goes by, he grows up and becomes a strong fighter.

I don't know how many times stronger than Hu Qian's so-called evil granddaughter.

At first, Elder Huo began to know that Xiao Ling, in addition to his outstanding talent in cultivation, also had the talent to be an alchemist. He planned to quickly accept him as his disciple. When Xiao Ling grew up, he could brag about it to his old friends.

As a result, just when he was about to go out to look for Xiao Ling, the old man Hu Qian actually came to the door first and told him that the child needed guidance from the elders of Canaan College and to become an apprentice to several teachers, so he rejected his idea. .

Out of curiosity, he came today to see what the child's talent as an alchemist was.

Although he couldn't be accepted as a disciple, he could only teach him personally about refining medicine. In this way, he would become a high-level alchemist in the future, and he would teach him step by step.

"Student has met Elder Huo, I am Xiao Ling." Xiao Ling stepped forward and bowed and replied.

"I heard that you have outstanding talent in cultivation, but I don't know what your talent in refining medicine is like? Come with me, and I will teach you some knowledge about medicine refining first." After speaking, Elder Huo walked towards the medicine refining department.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling thanked the middle-aged tutor just now and quickly followed him.

Walking to a study room in the Alchemy Department, Elder Huo first handed Xiao Ling a Na Ring and said, "This Na Ring contains some exercises and fighting skills suitable for alchemists to practice, as well as some books and prescriptions. Medicine cauldron, take it back and watch it for yourself. You have a special status in Canaan College. If you don’t understand anything, just ask me.”

Seeing Elder Huo saluting like this, Xiao Ling bowed and said, "Thank you to the academy and the elders for their cultivation."

When Elder Huo saw Xiao Ling, he was sincere and respected his elders, without the arrogance of ordinary young geniuses. He stroked his gray beard and smiled, admiring Xiao Ling's attitude very much.

"You have never been exposed to alchemy before. Let me tell you some common sense about alchemy first. If you want to make medicine, you must first have a medicine cauldron. The alchemist's medicine cauldron is like a samurai's weapon. It is indispensable. ”

"There are levels of medicine cauldrons. The more fire openings in the cauldron, the higher-grade the medicine cauldron is and the rarer it is. This kind of fire opening is not just a matter of drilling a few holes. The secret inside is difficult for laymen to detect. The fire opening is difficult to detect. , is the essence of the medicinal cauldron and requires high-precision polishing. During the building process, if there is even a slight error, the entire medicinal cauldron will become a failure. Therefore, the more fire openings in the medicinal cauldron, the more auxiliary effect it will have on refining medicine. , and stronger. Of course, if you want to control multiple fire outlets, you need strong soul perception. "

"Except for the medicine cauldron, the flames we use for refining medicine are generally flames catalyzed by our fighting qi. Therefore, to make high-quality elixirs, we need deep fighting qi cultivation. Even the lowest level of elixirs also require the cultivation of a fighter. You might as well have reached it early."

"For us alchemists, the best flames are of course the divine fires naturally bred in heaven and earth. They are all born in the most dangerous and difficult places in the world, so they can be encountered but not sought." Elder Huo also said the same in his eyes. Revealing a desire for alien fire. "And we at Canaan College have a strange fire."

"Not just one, there are two!" Xiao Ling secretly muttered in his heart. He is a person who knows the details of Canaan Academy. One is a mature body and the other is a juvenile body. They are all Fallen Heart Flames. No one can see it and no one is confused. It's a pity. The senior officials of Canaan College didn’t know about this. Otherwise, the fallen heart inflammation that has been causing so much fun would have been refined long ago.

Elder Huo saw Xiao Ling's eyes becoming fiery as he told her story, thinking that he was trying to plot against the fallen heart flames of the academy, and shook his head indifferently.

"Don't think about this strange fire. This strange fire is the foundation of the college. Anyone who dares to think about it is the enemy of Canaan College. You will know the specific situation when you get to the inner courtyard. Don’t tell others about the strange fire in the academy. Although the academy is not afraid of others making trouble, don’t cause trouble.”

When Xiao Ling heard Elder Huo's warning, he nodded solemnly and said, "I know, elder, but I won't tell anyone."

"Don't be disappointed because you don't have the strange fire. In addition to the strange fire, you can also find other flames instead, such as animal fire, the effect is equally good."

As Elder Huo said, he stretched out his right palm, and a dark black flame emerged from the palm. The space around the flame was faintly distorted. Xiao Ling, who was not far from Elder Huo, could feel a terrifying heat.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling also summoned his own fusion beast fire, opened his palms, and a blue-pink flame came out, which looked very agile. Then he said: "Actually, I have also refined a piece of beast fire. What do the elders think of the quality of my beast fire?"

Seeing this scene, Elder Huo also became somewhat interested. He looked at the beast fire in Xiao Ling's hand with interest and gave his own evaluation.

"Your kind of beast fire is a bit like the beast fire of the Raging Fire Wolf, but it is a little softer than it. Although I haven't seen it yet, the quality should be not low, and it is better than the ordinary sixth-level beast fire. It's even higher. Although the energy is not strong, it matches your current cultivation level very well. As the strength becomes stronger, the beast fire will also become stronger, so it is very suitable for Dou Zong. "

Withdrawing his gaze, Elder Huo continued: "We have almost covered the theoretical knowledge. Now it is time to get started. Come to the alchemy room with me. I will demonstrate it to you first, and then you can practice by yourself. I will keep an eye on you. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time." After finishing speaking, Elder Huo turned around and left the study.

Xiao Ling quickly followed, feeling very happy that her journey as an alchemist was finally about to begin.
