Cultivation Is Like This

v1 Chapter 10: familiar

  Chapter 10 is familiar

   "Do you want to learn alchemy?"

  Leaving the study, Lu Bei told Bai Jin about his plans for further studies. The latter was very puzzled when he heard the words, thinking that Lu Bei was just a whim.

   "It's not a whim, sister, I'm serious."

  Lu Bei said with a serious face: "I want to learn a craft, not to mention that there are many skills that don't overwhelm you. There are multiple paths and multiple ways of life. It is just that alchemy is a must-have skill for people in my generation. It is a good thing to get in touch with it early."

   "Junior brother, your practice is just enough to get started. It is too hasty to get in touch with alchemy now. It is reasonable to practice more to stabilize the foundation."

  Bai Jin shook his head and said: "If it is because of the lack of elixir during cultivation, just tell me directly. You can go to your senior sister Zhu when I am away, and she will satisfy your request."

  Bai Jin suspects that Lu Bei lacks a sense of security, that Sanqing Peak is too poor, does not have much training resources, and is young and energetic, unwilling to ask for help, so he came up with the idea of ​​learning alchemy.

  If you don’t learn alchemy, you have no experience. If you don’t have experience, you have to practice honestly. If you practice honestly, I am not a genius.

   Lu Bei murmured in his heart, his expression changed: "Senior sister, to tell you the truth, I am either practicing or practicing every day, and you don't let me go out. I am idle and bored, and I want to find some hobbies to pass the time."

   "The younger brother is right, but I didn't think carefully."

  Bai Jin nodded, she can accept this reason.

   Throwing Lu Bei into Dasheng Guandan's room, learning alchemy without leaving home, without worrying about being hurt by the dangerous world, and having Zhu Yan looking after him, is indeed a good way to pass the time.

   In this way, the possibility of Lu Bei sneaking out without her being around during the day is avoided.

   "Your Senior Sister Zhu, I will help you speak up. It is not difficult to think about it."

   "Then I will trouble my senior sister."

   Lu Bei nodded, and suddenly thought of something when he turned to leave, and said with a strange look: "Senior sister, aren't you in a hurry to return to Lingxiao Sword Sect? Why are you not in a hurry?"

   "..."

  Bai Jin blushed immediately, and only said that he still had to buy some items at Dashengguan, which were all belongings of girls, so he told Lu Bei not to ask more questions.

  You can also be called a girl?

   Present the facts and be reasonable, your junior sister’s daughter is called a girl!

  The corners of Lu Bei's mouth twitched, he was very sensible and didn't say anything, the goal has been achieved, and it's time to retire.

  …

  The next day, Bai Jin left early in the morning and planted three sword symbols on the back of Lu Bei's hand, saying only that he would be safe in critical situations.

  Zhu Yanyu bid farewell to Bai Jin unhappily, and took Lu Bei in a carriage to Huangjizong's residence in Dashengguan.

  Dashengguan, as the prefecture and the first county of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, is second to none in terms of population and economy. The stationing of Huangjizong has brought the county's prosperity to a higher level.

   Among other things, the economic benefits brought by rich royal children like Zhu Yan are not small.

  First of all, the land was sold very quickly.

  Secondly, the resident of Huangjizong Dashengguan has supplements and consumption of pills and arrays every day, and the cooperative merchants and fairy gates come and go, which is another huge tax revenue account.

   This is not the point. The point is that the Huangji Sect's residence in Dashengguan is located in a valley in the west of the county. It is obviously far away from the center of the county, and the number of shops on both sides of the road remains unabated.

  The entire valley is under the control of Huang Jizong, and it is divided into several areas for use by different departments.

  Danfang area, pavilions and pavilions, surrounded by green trees.

With the naked eye, it is not obvious that there is any strict security, but in fact, the formations are interlocking. If there is no guarantee from Zhu Yan, and a certificate is issued at the entrance, Lu Bei will not be able to walk two steps, and he will be escorted to the small by the big man who jumped out of the grass. black house.

  Zhu Yan is the accountant of the Danfang. There is a chief bookkeeper and two colleagues who are also accountants. These three people do the main daily work, and she is mainly responsible for dawdling.

  In the case of commuting to and from get off work on time, she can basically attend work 15 days a month, and she is the most praised excellent subordinate by the chief clerk.

  Don’t ask, it’s because her surname is Zhu.

  Zhu Yan is very self-aware. Others respect her not because of herself, but because she doesn't want to cause trouble, so she doesn't have any pretensions in dealing with others, and there are friends everywhere who greet her with a smile.

  With her help, Lu Bei quickly found an errand in Danfang.

   Intern alchemist.

  The master Lin Bohai who is responsible for introducing him has rich experience. He is a 20-year-old employee of the alchemy room. He was born in Huangjizong and has experienced systematic alchemy training.

  Lin Bohai looked at Lu Bei helplessly, seeing his expression eager to try, his face became even more helpless.

  For many years of old people, the biggest headache is to find a relationship with Mengxin, whether you don’t ask, it’s hard to explain over there, so I have to ask...

   What you said, if you can control it, you will be damned!

   Fortunately, life in Danfang is boring, Lin Bohai is very experienced in dealing with Mengxin, and he is confident that within three months, Zhu Yan's distant relatives will quit despite difficulties.

  He regained his composure, and said with a pleasant face, "Lu Bei, have you ever made alchemy before?"

"No."

   "It's okay."

  Lin Bohai nodded, the answer was within his expectation, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of seeing people practice it, it's easy to get started."

   "I haven't seen it either."

   "..."

  Lin Bohai was silent for a moment, it turned out that he was not Mengxin, but a young master looking for trouble.

  Thinking about Zhu Yan's identity, this young master's family background is not too bad. If you are more courageous, maybe he is also surnamed Zhu, and come here incognito to have fun.

   Then it is even simpler.

  Lin Bohai led Lu Bei to a alchemy room, single-person, located on the second floor, with a desk, tea, landscape paintings, and a window, from which you can see the beautiful scenery of the valley.

  Alchemy here for a long time, not only the skill of making tea has greatly improved, but also people's belief in freedom.

  Usually, when young master and miss come, Lin Bohai always dismisses them like this.

   "Lu Bei, the art of alchemy is extensive and profound, and the complexity of it cannot be explained clearly in words. I have studied this way for many years and figured out four words."

  Lin Bohai held up four fingers, and said firmly: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are familiar with it!"

   "Master Lin is absolutely right."

   Lu Bei nodded again and again, he also felt the same, no need to complicate, the personal panel will handle everything.

After finishing speaking, he brought a few basics of alchemy covering a wide range of areas, as well as some cheap herbs and tools, and asked Lu Bei to read while practicing. If there is anything he doesn't understand, write it down on paper first, and he will read it tomorrow morning. one answer.

   "The alchemy furnace is here, you try to use it first, the old man's furnace is about to start the alchemy, and the fire is a little hot, so I won't accompany you." Seeing Lu Bei weighing the medicinal materials excitedly, Lin Bohai smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away quickly.

  From a personal point of view, Lin Bohai doesn't like Lu Bei, the reason is very realistic, taking apprentices is wasted, wasting time and losing money.

  The monthly salary of an alchemist is pitifully low, this point is the same regardless of the official or the private sector.

  The reasons for the official side are too complicated. Just talking about the folks, alchemists have a shipment rate. Every batch of pills refined is divided into high-quality products, finished products, and waste pills.

  When luck is good, the whole batch is high-quality goods. If luck is bad, if the little hand shakes a little, the batch will be considered useless.

  Therefore, every time a furnace of elixir is opened, the raw materials are excessive, allowing the alchemist to consume within a certain range.

  The main income of alchemists has never been salary. Skilled alchemists make money from raw materials. After a batch of high-quality goods, the finished product is finished, and the remaining raw materials are put into their pockets and sold for profit.

  Because of this uncontrollable unspoken rule, the monthly salary of the alchemist is getting lower and lower, which is a tacit acquiescence in disguise, allowing the alchemist to use his experience and skills to earn extra money while completing the prescribed tasks.

Lu Bei, as the newest of the newcomers, must have had a lot of losses, and part of it must be counted on Lin Bohai. Although Zhu Yan has guaranteed that he does not need to worry about loss, he is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case of loss There are too many, if the opposite party turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone, can he still confront the royal relatives and relatives?

   "Forget it, who made the old man big! The pill room is boring, and there is no fun to speak of. Forgive him, a young man like him won't be able to stay for long."

  Lin Bohai stroked his beard, ten days, at most ten days, if Lu Bei can persist for ten days, he will make a batch of alchemy upside down.

  —————

  Thanks to the bosses of ‘Come over here to see the original version’, ‘Accept beautiful girls aged 16 to 25’, and ‘P0cKy’ for their rewards. They are all familiar faces. Thank you for chasing me and supporting me.

   Having said that, isn’t this ID banned for the beautiful girl?

   Outrageous, it was released.
