Chapter 206 Text from the Celestial Empire

Xiao Zhen slowly came to the private room where Fa Ma was, and bowed respectfully to the thin figure, saying:

"Disciple Xiao Zhen, greetings to the teacher!"

Fa Ma turned around slowly and said gently, "Come on, sit down!"

Xiao Zhen nodded. Since they were already so familiar with each other and there were no outsiders around, there was no need to be so particular about etiquette.

Xiao Zhen stared at Fa Ma's old face and asked in a puzzled manner, "Teacher called me over. Is there something wrong?"

Fa Ma chuckled and narrowed his old eyes slightly, looking like an old fox.

"Aren't you usually very smart? Why don't you guess my purpose?"

Xiao Zhen pretended to ponder for a moment, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Teacher, you don't want to give me that alchemy furnace worth more than 20 million!"

"Well, you are really smart. You guessed it right at once!" Fa Ma smiled with satisfaction.

It’s true. Although Xiao Zhen had guessed it very well, he didn’t dare to guarantee it.

I didn't expect Fa Mammoth to be so generous. He gave away a treasure worth more than 20 million gold coins without hesitation. He didn't even wait until it was warm in his hands before giving it to me. How straightforward!

Xiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Teacher, your kindness is as great as a mountain. Should I postpone it for a while? This way, I will appear more reserved."

"Pfft." Fa Ma couldn't help laughing, pointed at Xiao Zhen's nose and scolded: "You are too direct, I don't see any embarrassment on your face."

The longer Fa Ma spent with this disciple, the more interesting he found him.

All the disciples were extremely respectful to this old man, but this kid had a carefree personality and, most importantly, was shameless.

Fa Ma waved his hand, the storage ring glowed, and a gray, ancient alchemy furnace appeared on the table.

Only then did Xiao Zhen take a closer look at it. He gently touched the outer layer of the Tianyan Furnace and found that the material was indeed extraordinary.

Just take the quality of this Tianyan Furnace, it is definitely far superior to his previous alchemy furnace.

Fa Ma laughed and said, "How is it? Have you seen enough?"

Xiao Zhen nodded with satisfaction. With this treasure, he could attend the Alchemist Conference in a month.

Xiao Zhen can confidently say that all other contestants are just garbage who are there to make up the numbers!

Exhaling lightly, Xiao Zhen bowed solemnly to Fa Ma.

"Thank you again, teacher. Without your cultivation, I would never have achieved what I have today!"

Fa Ma hasn't arrived yet. This eccentric boy suddenly became so serious.

Xiao Zhen said: "For this Tianyan furnace, the teacher actually spent more than 20 million, which is not a small amount of money."

Fa Ma also started to take it seriously. Although he owned the Alchemist Guild, it did not belong to him alone. Taking out more than 20 million at one time was a considerable expense for him.

"You can remember the kindness of your master, which means that I, an old man, was right in choosing you!" Fa Ma nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "But this is also for my own sake. I am already old now. Unless there is some great opportunity, it will be extremely difficult for me to become a sixth-grade alchemist!

But you are different. You are young and talented. Your future achievements will definitely be beyond the reach of an old man like me.

If I can train a future top alchemist, it would be a great wish for an old man like me who has one foot in the coffin. "

After hearing these words, Xiao Zhen was deeply moved. Although he did not kneel down in public and kowtow ten or eight times, his respect for this teacher increased a little.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Zhen took out several books from the system space, with neatly arranged traditional Chinese characters on them.

Fa Ma looked carefully, but he couldn't see anything. After all, as a native of Douqi Continent, how could he be writing in another world?

After carefully examining and touching the books, Fa Ma asked in confusion, "Where did you get them? Judging from the materials in these books, they seem to be extraordinary!"

Xiao Zhen smiled strangely and asked, "Then...why don't you guess what's written on it?"

Fa Ma couldn't help but glance at the boy and asked speechlessly: "What I want is to know the words above. Do I need to ask you? Tell the truth quickly and don't keep an old man waiting!"

Xiao Zhen did not continue to hide it, but directly said: "This is the alchemy technique I got from somewhere else. It is a little different from our usual alchemy technique. If you learn it, it may be helpful to you, teacher."

When Fa Ma heard that this was an alternative method of refining medicine, he immediately became interested. After all, he was an old man who had lived for many years and had seen other special methods of refining medicine.

Fa Ma then asked doubtfully: "Although the characters on it are neat and orderly, I don't recognize any of them. I'm afraid they are not the characters of my Northwest Continent?"

Xiao Zhen nodded and said nonsense: "This is a text from the Celestial Empire."

Celestial Empire? Fa Ma tried to recall this place or country in his mind, but he could not remember such a place name.

Xiao Zhen didn't want to continue watching the old man's nonsense, so he could only say nonsense: "Teacher, don't think too much, heaven is far away from the Jiama Empire?"

"Really?" Fa Ma was a little skeptical. He also saw that his apprentice didn't want to talk more, so he gave up asking further.

"hehe!"

Xiao Zhen could only smile awkwardly. In order to change the subject, he still focused on the books.

"Teacher, let's continue talking about the alchemy techniques in this book! Even though you may not understand it, I can understand it!"

Fa Ma looked at Xiao Zhen in confusion. He didn't expect that this kid could understand it. Could it be that in three years, Xiao Zhen had learned a completely new language.

Thinking back to when Xiao Zhen first started learning alchemy, he felt sleepy when reading those pharmacology books.

If this kid didn't seem to have a naturally good memory, I'm afraid he would still be reviewing in the guild's library, let alone becoming an excellent alchemist!

Xiao Zhen discovered that the old man Fa Ma's eyes seemed a little strange, as if he was looking at a prodigal son who had turned over a new leaf.

"Teacher, what's that look in your eyes? Why do I feel a little uncomfortable?" Xiao Zhen asked with narrowed eyes.

Fa Ma shook his head, just laughed twice, and said embarrassedly: "Don't worry about it, I'm just old and my energy is not as good as before, so I was distracted by accident!"

Xiao Zhen was also a little speechless, but he still patiently explained the knowledge in the book.

The people from Miter Auction House also received advance notice and dared not disturb this private room.

An hour had passed since Fa Ma finished listening to the explanation. At this time, he was already immersed in a new ocean of knowledge.

After a moment, Fa Ma suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that there are so many details in refining medicine, and there can be such a unique method. It really opens my eyes!"

Xiao Zhen just smiled. After all, they were methods from two different worlds. Even if they ended up in the same place, the methods would be different.

"Oh, by the way, Zhen'er, where did you get these methods?" Fa Ma suddenly became interested. He really wanted to know where he could get these alchemy techniques from the so-called Celestial Empire.

Xiao Zhen hesitated for a while and just said it lightly.

"I found it in a cave!"

Fa Ma was a little confused. Picking it up in the cave, isn't this just a perfunctory excuse for an old man like me? Can't he find a more professional excuse?

Xiao Zhen felt that he was not lying. He picked it up in the cave of that old man, the Antarctic Immortal, and he did it in front of the old man. This could not be considered stealing. If you must say it, it was robbery!
