In the quiet alchemy room, after Wen Xia left, only Chen Changming and Jin Ji were left in this place.

Standing in the alchemy room, looking at Chen Changming in front of him, Jin Ji sighed softly and then said: "Changming."

"Master is leaving"

After the words fell, Chen Changming subconsciously raised his head and looked at Jin Ji in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Time flies so fast."

Looking at Chen Changming, Jin Ji sighed softly: "Unknowingly, it has been more than half a year since you came to my place, Changming."

"You have done very well in the past six months."

He chuckled softly, with a complicated expression on his face, and patted Chen Changming on the shoulder: "I originally thought that I could continue to accompany you for a few more years, master, and wait for you to get on the right track before leaving."

"But now it seems that it is no longer possible."

"Did your uncle ask you to leave, master?" Chen Changming was silent for a while before speaking.

"It's not because of him."

Jin Ji shook his head: "I have to leave here because of some other things."

"If I leave this time, unless something unexpected happens in the future, I will not come back again."

He said this with a sigh in his expression: "After I leave, that girl Qingyi will also leave with me, and you will be the only one left in this place."

I'm the only one left?

Chen Changming couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Jin Ji with some doubts.

"Are you wondering why my master didn't take you away with me?"

Looking at Chen Changming's reaction, Jin Ji smiled: "In fact, before that, I really wanted to take you away with me."

"Your talent in alchemy is something I have only seen in my entire life. It would be a pity if I were to stay here in this small place."

"It was only later that my teacher changed his mind."

He sighed softly: "You have extraordinary powers and talents that are close to those of an immortal. This is the greatest good thing."

"If you just leave with me and go to my sect, it will only limit your future."

Hearing this, Chen Changming's mouth twitched?

Coming again?

It is still uncertain whether he has the talent of a near-immortal, but you are so sure?

"The sect I belong to is suitable for ordinary people like me to go to, but for people like you who have the qualifications of a near-immortal, it is shackles and constraints, which can only make you feel uncomfortable."

"So this time, I am not going to take you away with me."

Jin Ji patted Chen Changming's shoulder, his face full of sighs and care.

Before Chen Changming could say anything, he took out something from his arms.

It was a very simple-looking animal skin map and a small elixir pot.

"I acquired this map accidentally when I was young and spent a lot of money on it."

Holding the animal skin map in his hand, Jin Ji had some sigh and nostalgia on his face: "The world is so big, so big that no one can imagine how big it is."

"However, the sages explored again and again, and finally explored a lot of areas."

"What is recorded on this map is the detailed terrain of several large areas nearby, as well as the places where near-immortal sects exist."

"You follow the places recorded on this map and look for them. As long as you find the near-immortals who exist in those places, with your talent imprinted on you, you will definitely be able to join their sect and become a true near-immortal."

His face was full of expectation, and he solemnly handed the map in Chen Changming's hands with a serious and solemn attitude.

"To be honest, Chang Ming, what I wanted most when I was young was to become a near-immortal."

Looking at Chen Changming, he smiled: "It's just that this world is cruel. I don't have this life. No matter how hard I try, I can't do it."

"But Chang Ming, you are different."

"You are still young and have excellent talents. You will definitely be able to take over as a teacher in the future and become a true near-immortal to get a glimpse of the true supreme alchemy."

He looked at Chen Changming, his face full of solemnity and expectation.

Chen Changming opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but looked at Jin Ji and looked at the expectation on his face. In the end, he said nothing and just silently took the map from Jin Ji's hand.

"This bottle is the Yuanlu Pill refined by my master."

Seeing Chen Changming taking the map, Jin Ji smiled, and then put another thing in his hand: "This is an elixir made from the poisonous beast before. It was made eight times in total."

The Chen family and I each took four pieces, and here are three of them."

"You and I are masters and disciples. Now that my master is about to leave, these three Yuan Dew Pills can be regarded as my last gift to you."

He put the elixir pot in Chen Changming's hand and said with a smile.

"master"

Standing there, looking at the small elixir pot in his hand, Chen Changming felt that his hand was heavy. At this time, he no longer knew what to say and was speechless at all.

"alright."

Looking at Chen Changming's appearance, Jin Ji smiled and said: "How can a dignified man look like this?"

"Besides, my master is not leaving immediately, I have to prepare for it for a while."

Standing there, he said: "Using this time, I will give you a few final lessons."

"yes."

Chen Changming took a deep breath and saluted Jin Ji.

In the following days, Chen Changming's life became even busier.

After the conversation that day, Jin Ji put down other things in his hands and concentrated on teaching Chen Changming.

During this period, he did not continue to teach other alchemy prescriptions, but switched to teaching some pharmacology and alchemy.

According to Jin Ji, these things are the most basic and important.

As long as you learn these things, even if no one teaches you, you will be able to figure out the refining method sooner or later by relying on your own exploration and having the elixir recipe.

But if the foundation is not laid firmly, then even if the prescription is put in front of you, you may not be able to understand it at all.

Chen Changming expressed his understanding of this and did not relax at all, studying hard.

During this period of time, he put down all his other things, including the medical clinic, and just focused on studying with Jin Ji, studying pharmacology and alchemy.

In this way, more than two months passed quickly.

When one day, Jin Ji smiled and asked Chen Qingyi to prepare for the banquet, Chen Changming knew that Jin Ji would leave soon.

Jin Ji has always disliked lively people, so in the past, banquets were rarely held in the Medicine Palace.

Even when Jin Ji usually eats, he rarely leaves his alchemy room and never joins others.

So in the past, Chen Changming always had meals with Chen Qingyi.

But this time is an exception.

This was an unprecedented banquet. Perhaps because he would be leaving soon and would not see these people soon, Jin Ji invited many people over.

In addition to Jin Ji's old friend Chen Jing, the head of the family, Chen Yiming and others were also in the party.

"If you hadn't saved me back then, I wouldn't be in the same boat now."

At the banquet, Jin Ji looked at Chen Jing opposite him, raised the wine glass in his hand, and spoke with some sigh.

"It's all in the past."

Chen Jing shook his head, with a nostalgic look on his face and some sighs: "Things that happened back then are still like yesterday."

"It's just that time has passed so long without realizing it. It's been twenty years now."

"Yes, twenty years."

Jin Ji also had a sigh on his face and a look of nostalgia.

The two of them were sitting in the center of the hall, drinking one cup after another.

The same goes for others, drinking one cup after another, and the scene seems very lively.

In this atmosphere, Chen Changming sat alone in a corner, sitting alone and looking a little silent.

In the main hall, most of his acquaintances from the Chen family were drinking in the middle. He didn't know the others, which was a bit awkward.

The excitement in the surrounding halls had basically nothing to do with him.

Sitting there, he raised his head and looked to another corner in the distance.

In the corner, Chen Qingyi was alone, sitting alone in that corner.

As if feeling Chen Changming's gaze, she raised her head, looked directly at Chen Changming, and smiled softly at him.

Chen Changming also smiled, then thought for a moment, raised the heavy wine glass, stood up and walked forward.

"What are you thinking about?"
