Chapter 11 Alchemist(1/2)
In a huge hall.
Unlike the village where the Chen family was before, although this place looks quite large, the figures inside are very sparse.
How sparse is it?
It was so sparse that Chen Changming walked all the way to the hall and couldn't see a single figure.
Walking along the way in this hall, looking at the hall where there was no figure around, like a dead place, Chen Changming couldn't help but think of a thought flashed through his heart.
In such a big place, few people live in it, won’t the owner be bored?
What should I do if I get into the thief in the middle of the night?
He inexplicably flashed through this idea and then walked inside.
A faint fragrance of medicine came from the front. It seemed like someone was decorating medicine inside?
Chen Changming was immediately excited.
If someone decocts the medicine, it means there are definitely living people inside.
So he took two steps forward.
"This junior brother"
A voice came from the front, and the sound seemed a little hesitant.
Chen Changming looked down and saw a small figure standing there on one side.
The figure was a bit weird overall, and looked similar to a normal woman, but she was much shorter, like a five or six-year-old child, and very short.
However, if he excludes his unusually short figure and just looks at his face, he will find that the woman in front of him is actually pretty. Although she is not very beautiful, she is also pretty, but her figure is too deformed.
"This senior sister."
Chen Changming lowered his body and did not show any strangeness because of the strange appearance of the woman in front of him. He just looked calm, bowed slightly, and bowed downwards.
"I am here under the order of Chen Changming, and I hope to receive education."
He said calmly, and he introduced himself.
"you"
The woman bit her lip and looked at Chen Changming in front of her: "Don't you think I'm strange?"
She said a little strangely, and asked Chen Changming for a long time, but still asked this question: "There are still many people here before, and they all seem to be a little after seeing me."
Chen Changming shook his head: "What kind of body, hair, skin, and parents can grow up by them is given by God, and nothing is worth wondering about."
"Add to one more connection"
The familiar handwriting appeared in front of me.
"You're quite interesting."
The woman smiled and said, "My name is Chen Qingyi, just call me Qingyi."
"Now go see the master with me."
She looked at Chen Changming and smiled, nodded at him, and then took Chen Changming to the side.
Not long after, they walked around the side halls and walked to a place.
A spacious room.
It looks very spacious, with a furnace around it, and flames burning inside.
The surroundings were steaming hot and the rich aroma of medicine filled the entire room.
The fragrance of medicine that Chen Changming smelled outside before was obviously spread from here.
In the room, an old man stood there.
"The person has come."
Hearing the footsteps coming from outside the door, the old man turned around and looked at Chen Changming who was walking in and smiled: "Look at this, you and Qingyi are getting along well."
"Sit down first."
He waved at Chen Changming and signaled him to sit here. Then he ignored him and sat alone here, fiddling with his own alchemy furnace, looking very focused.
Looking at the old man's appearance, Chen Changming also sat down honestly, quietly watching his movements here.
"Master, he has always been like this. As long as he starts to get busy, he will not care about other things."
On the side, Chen Qingyi kindly reminded: "You happened to meet the master's busyness, and I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a while."
"It's not a big deal."
Chen Changming smiled and nodded at Chen Qingyi: "Sister Qingyi, let's go and do it first, I'll just wait here alone."
"good."
Chen Qingyi nodded, turned around and looked at the old man on the side, shook his head, and then turned around and left.
After she left, Chen Changming was waiting here alone.
The old man next to him was still busy there, staring at his alchemy furnace at all times, and from time to time he had to add some materials, looking very focused and serious.
Judging from this, I guess I will be busy for a while.
But Chen Changming was not in a hurry.
After two lifetimes, he is no longer a child, so he still has this patience.
Besides, the scene in front of him is clearly a test of his patience. Not to mention that his patience is actually pretty good, he can't help it, and he can't help it.
In this way, several hours passed.
When he was bored, Chen Changming was also seriously looking at the old man in front of him and his movements.
The old man in front of him looked very old, his face was full of wrinkles, and the black robe he wore looked a little worn. I don’t know if he had been wearing it for a long time or hadn’t taken a shower for a long time.
Chen Changming felt that it was most likely the latter.
Apart from his face being tense all the time and looking very serious, the old man in front of him looked very ordinary and nothing extraordinary.
However, being able to stay in this place and occupy such a large area alone means that the old man in front of him is definitely not ordinary, and is definitely not an ordinary person.
Moreover, Chen Changming also noticed the surrounding elixir furnaces and the bottles of elixirs contained there.
Pills, this is an extremely expensive thing, a hard currency that is priced at gold.
The bottle of body-nourishing pill that Chen Ziling gave Chen Changming before is still being put in good condition by him and he is reluctant to eat it.
And looking at the old man in front of him, he seemed to be refining an alchemy?
This is amazing.
A living alchemist is a very noble person. In the entire Chen family, I am afraid that even the head of the Chen family would respect him very much and dare not neglect him at all.
This is a bit of a surprise.
Chen Changming originally thought that he could just find an ordinary doctor to learn some medical skills so that he could contact the injured, but he didn't expect that Chen Yiming would give him such a big gift.
However, this is in line with his impression of Chen Yiming.
Judging from Chen Yiming's favor for Chen Changming since childhood, even if he was asked to study medicine, he would definitely arrange the best conditions for him. How could he give him to a doctor casually?
But even so, the surprise is a bit too big.
Being in place, while waiting, time slowly passed.
In the alchemy furnace in front of me, the alchemy fire slowly extinguished, and the old man in front of me slowly stopped.
“Good patience.”
The old man stood up and looked at Chen Changming in front of him, his face still looked so serious. He looked at Chen Changming in front of him with some scrutiny in his eyes.
"I've been waiting for so long, but are you tired of waiting?"
"fine."
Chen Changming smiled: "Although it's a bit boring, I find it interesting to see you fiddling with the alchemy furnace there."
"Just think it's interesting."
The old man nodded: "If you are in our business, you will inevitably face the alchemy furnace day and night. Sometimes you can refine the alchemy for several days and nights at a time. If you don't have enough patience, it's better to give up as soon as possible."
He said this first, then continued to speak: "Is Chen Yiming your uncle?"
"Yes." Chen Changming nodded.
"He said a lot of good things about you."
The old man nodded, raised Chen Yiming, his face turned a little disdainful: "What do you say that you are talented, alert, and conscientious in your duties, and you have told him all the good things."
He seemed to poke at this and said disdainfully: "He is not annoyed to say these words, and he is also annoyed to hear them."
"There are countless people who want to get into me over the years. Who doesn't praise me like that?"
Chen Changming's expression remained unchanged. At this moment, he looked at the old man in front of him and didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to laugh there.
"But from the current point of view, it is unknown how talented you are, but your character is still quite up to standard."
To be continued...
