Chapter 58
The distant sky to the west was golden red, and a red line spread among the mountains.
It was dusk at this time. Ji Chang'an looked at the clouds in the distance, and the clouds were floating, beautiful, a bit like... pieces of chicken legs?
No, I am not a foodie!
Now I am just a little hungry, so I want to eat something.
Ji Changan swallowed and walked to a shop.
After buying the Black Water Practice, Ji Changan read the book "The First Explanation of Alchemy" again and turned a few pages.
Every page of the book is brand new, with a fresh ink smell on it.
Most people may be satisfied, but Ji Changan just wants some old books.
"Boss, do you have this old book "The First Explanation of Alchemy" here?"
Ji Changan walked to the store owner and asked.
The shop owner with reading glasses raised his head and frowned, "Young man, do you want to learn alchemy?"
"yes."
The shop owner glanced at Ji Changan's clothes and shook his head.
"Alchemy is usually something that only rich people can afford. Young man, I think you should try to be an apprentice with some alchemy masters for a few years before considering this."
"And, depending on your clothes, I guess you are an ordinary person. I really don't recommend that you learn this. If you are really motivated, you might as well learn to refine weapons instead. That thing is quite real."
Ji Changan bowed, "Old sir, what do you mean?"
The shop owner smiled and drank a sip of water. He also intended to remind the young man who looked good, so as not to make mistakes and mislead his own future.
"Refining weapons is not as good as elixirs, there are many ways to do it. Repairing machinery, stitching needlework, and doing some basic tasks... These are all called refining weapons. Of course, they will not say that they are just doing needlework, they all say that they are refiners."
"Actually, it's just for a face, but young man, are they really weapon refiners?"
"As for the current market, if you don't even have a master, just read books," the shop owner glanced left and right, pursed his lips, "To be honest, it's useless."
"I sell the best books "The First Explanation of Alchemy" and "The First Explanation of Weapon Refining" here, but in fact, how many people can survive it with just one book?"
"It's not only a waste of time, but also a waste of youth."
"I'm not snob, but this is reality. Even a first-level apprentice doesn't know how many spirit stones it takes to burn out."
"I'll get your kindness." Ji Changan said in a warm voice.
"But I still want to ask."
"It's not good!" The shop owner's face turned cold, "Ahem..."
"Old sir, please calm down." Ji Changan smiled apologetically, with a serious expression and a hint of longing in his eyes, "I just have some hope, what if it can be done?"
He knew that the shop owner had kindly reminded him so that he would not take a detour.
However, he has a system.
The shop owner still turned his face and waited for a while before he threw a bunch of old books onto the table in anger. "No, this is a book that a first-level apprentice has read. Just because of alchemy, he even sold this old book."
"But the price is three times the price!"
Ji Changan tried to persuade him, and the store owner changed the price to 3,664 yuan, while the original price was 1,832 yuan.
Well, it's actually not expensive. If it were in the previous life, the price of entering a tutoring class would be much higher than that.
Ji Chang'an walked home with this stack of books.
On the dining table, Ji Changping patted his shoulder, "Chang'an, you have suffered this time."
This time, Ji Changan slept for seven days and could not hide it no matter how he thought about it.
It was indeed not hidden from Ji Changping.
However, Ji Changle just knew a rough idea.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just felt my brain hot at the beginning, so I rushed up."
Ji Changle blinked his big eyes and held his face in his hands, "Second brother, you are so powerful that you can survive in front of the eighth level of Qi training. I didn't expect you to have become a master!"
Ji Changan felt secretly happy and said proudly: "What's this? I'm much better than you think."
I'll praise you one more thing, I'm not afraid of praise.
Ji Changle's eyes turned, and his second brother was a little drifty.
But as a cute sister, I should tolerate this brother.
Ji Changle's eyes were full of admiration and said in an awesome tone: "Yes, second brother, you are so awesome!"
Ji Changan waved his hand and pretended to be plain, "Well, this is nothing. We should look at it for a long time, and level 8 of Qi training is nothing."
Ji Changping smiled aside.
After a while of greeting, Ji Changping looked at Zhong and smiled relievedly, "In addition, I will tell you two of you good news, that is - I have successfully passed the second-level weapon refiner!!"
"Yeah—" Ji Changle jumped up happily and shook Ji Changping's shoulders, "After the second level, brother, will your salary increase by 100,000 yuan per month?"
Ji Changan also stood up and touched Ji Changle's head, "That must be true!"
Ji Changle then shook his shoulder, "No need to say that for so long, I can understand!"
Ji Changping held the two of them in his arms with big hands, "Yes, that's right. We won't have to save so much in the future. After we pay back the debt, we will buy three chicken legs. Eat one! Look at one! Finally throw one!"
"Brother, you said that, I want to eat chicken legs."
"Okay, I'll buy a whole chicken, our family will eat chicken tonight!"
Ji Changle was so happy that he was crazy, "That was really great!"
When he got free, Ji Changan put out his first book and his fingers were empty in the air.
Although the window was still filled with the sound of traffic, Ji Changan was no longer irritable.
He is a student with no hearing.
The data panel unfolded in front of his eyes as before.
[Name: First volume of the first explanation of alchemy]
【Standard: First order】
【Props type: Books/elixirs】
【Durability: 1/1】
[Book content: one article (complete/unread), two articles (complete/unread), three articles (complete/unread)…]
【Will you start reading with new energy?
whether】
Ji Changan held the spirit stone in his pocket with his left hand and tapped [Yes] with his right hand.
He fell asleep again.
...
"I want to learn alchemy, I must learn it!"
A student was holding a stack of books, his eyes were red.
Others see him like a fool, he doesn't care.
Late at night, when all the roommates fell asleep, he sat at the desk to study hard.
When he was walking alone on the road, he also recited loudly: "The key point of the so-called alchemy is..."
The roommate ridiculed him, the classmates laughed at him, and even the alchemist didn't want him to be a fire-burning boy.
"Will it really work if I persist like this?"
When he was alone, he couldn't help but ask himself such a question.
Looking at the books in front of him, he almost wanted to tear them apart!
Don't read it anymore, just read a nonsense!
"Forget it, it's all right now, so let's just stick to it."
He sighed, tidied up his messy hair, and decided to hold on.
"Teacher, have you really decided to accept me as your disciple?"
He held a chicken coop and stared at the boss with his mouth.
"You have persisted so much, can I not accept it?" the alchemist smiled.
He couldn't help crying.
...
Ji Changan sat in place for a long time, looking at the old book full of notes, with a few tears on it.
"This is the wind and sand that makes the eyes go visibly."
He looked at the book, smoothed every page of it, and read it again.
He has become familiar with the most basic alchemy techniques.
