The group passed through the town, followed the team entering the city through the guards' inspection, and entered the outer city of the royal capital.

Jason has been an imperial hunter for several months and is qualified to enter the city. Zhou Jing has long explored the terrain of the royal capital.

With Jason as a guarantee, Zhou Jing successfully entered the outer city area. The main streets are still wide and well-connected, and the crowds are quite lively.

But the houses are too dense. Turning from both sides of the street into a fork road, the alleys separated by each house are like spider webs, with complex routes and crowded and cramped routes, just like capillaries in the entire city.

The landmark buildings in the outer city are several guard castles, and some soldiers are stationed in the permanent role as sheriffs and control the city. The royal capital is essentially a fortress city. With the guard castle as the boundary, the outer city is divided into several urban areas, which is distinguished by functionality to a certain extent, but can all ensure the normal living and living of ordinary people.

Zhou Jing took Jason through the streets and alleys, through the dirty shanty towns, and over the lively market area, and soon came to the urban area where a large number of craftsmen lived... The serious name is the Fire Furnace Area.

Each urban area has complete infrastructure, such as pharmacy shops, blacksmith shops, tailor shops, etc., which facilitate residents' living nearby. However, many of the store managers are ordinary craftsmen in the stove area. They travel through the city to work every morning and return to their residences to rest at night.

High-quality products can usually be purchased only in the furnace area, so many residents of the royal capital who live affluent life would rather travel through the city to buy them, while many ordinary residents wish to move to the furnace area to live... It’s a pity that they can’t afford a house.

After all, people are divided into groups, and these craftsmen are the intellectual class of the strange world. Generally, they live in the furnace area with high income groups. There are also many senior craftsmen working for the Imperial Workshop, so the public security is good.

Street slips in shanty towns and market areas, if you walk around the stove area casually, you will be driven away by the sheriff.

Zhou Jing walked in the stove area for a while, and was noticed by the sheriff patrolling the street and was investigated.

Apostle Bill No. 3 was the "outsider" who arrived in the capital for the first time. He could not come to the stove area at will, but Jason, a serious imperial hunter, rushed to the side, and the sheriff allowed the two to walk around, only to warn him not to get close to the inner wall.

"Jason's identity is still better now."

Zhou Jing watched the sheriff leave and couldn't help but look at the city center.

The high inner walls blocked the view, and only the towering palace castle could be vaguely seen.

Inside is the inner city, the core of power of the Terra Empire, and the inner walls are strictly guarded. In addition to the garrison, there are many royal cities guarding the walls, all of which are alien blood warriors.

It is quite difficult to sneak in quietly.

"Why did I subconsciously think of sneaking in as soon as I saw the tightly guarded place? I was afraid it was not the sequelae of Baiyuan City..."

Zhou Jing calmed down, searched on the road for a while, and found a pharmacy shop, and immediately walked in.

After a while, he walked out again. The pharmacist at this store had already had many apprentices and had no intention of accepting people.

I tried it along the streets and didn’t look for apprentices. Wang didn’t look like a small place. There were too many hunters. Even if Jason scanned his face, he didn’t mean to accept apprentices, so he wouldn’t accept them.

Zhou Jing tried patiently and visited the thirteenth company before the change came.

This is a small potion store, with deserted shelves, only the potion label and price are placed in obvious places, but there is no bottle of potion.

There was only one middle-aged man in the room, with a thin figure, wearing a long robe and long beards, sitting behind the counter reading a book.

When the middle-aged man heard someone coming in, he slowly raised his eyes and said slowly: "Look at it casually, what do you want to buy?"

"Are you recruiting pharmacist apprentices here?" Zhou Jing straight to the point.

The middle-aged man looked up and down at Zhou Jing, his eyes lit up: "Who came from other places? Are you rich?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jing was excited and took out his heavy purse and flipped it. The silver coins swayed and collided, making a pleasant sound.

The middle-aged man suddenly became enthusiastic and stroked his long beard and smiled:

"It's easy to deal with if you have money. I'm just a pharmacist. You can call me Mali. As long as you give money, you can be my apprentice..."

Zhou Jing blinked.

When a normal craftsman chooses apprentices, he usually needs to examine character and ability, see if the other party has talent in this area, and be responsible to others. But this pharmacist only looks at the money and refuses everyone, as if it is not very reliable.

But he doesn't care. As long as he can teach him the basics, he can achieve quick results based on his own learning advantages.

At this time, Jason also walked in, marching like a dragon and tiger, and his strong body seemed to have its own aura.

When Mali saw Jason's Empire Hunter outfit, his face changed slightly and asked, "Is this hunter your friend?"

"Yes, I've saved him once..."

Zhou Jing explained his previous words and introduced himself by the way.

"Okay, I know." Mali seemed a little unhappy, his tone faded a little, and said, "I want to be my apprentice, every ten days, fifty silver coins."

Zhou Jing was stunned.

Good guy, why don't you go grab money?

Fifty silver coins are not necessarily profitable for a farmer's family in a year. Even for high-income hunters, it is a lot that cannot be ignored. It is more than enough to buy a set of equipment...and this is just the price of being an apprentice for ten days?!

Who would have bought it if it were ordinary people! Knowledge in this world is very expensive, but it is not as good as this, otherwise how could so many pharmacists come from?

Zhou Jing was quite suspicious that this man made things difficult for Jason because of his existence. This was the first time he had encountered a situation where the hunter was not in good condition.

Because I know a high-income friend, I want to kill someone? No, this is unreasonable, so I can go to another pharmacist to study.

If it weren't for personal feelings... Could this person be trying to scare him away with a high price?

Thinking of Jason's appearance, Mali's attitude was completely different...

Zhou Jing's eyes rolled and he suddenly understood what was going on.

Wonderful, let’s choose this one!

"It's a bit expensive, can it be cheaper? How about twenty silver coins?"

"No, fifty means fifty." Mali did not change his words.

Zhou Jing refused to give in and took a lot of talk. Finally, he grounded the price to 40 silver coins for ten days. Mali agreed with a stinky face.

"Forty is about forty, just study after paying." Mali glanced at Jason with a strong aura and his face slightly twitched.

"Then I paid the money, will you teach me well, right? This is a lot of money!" Zhou Jing hesitated and rubbed his hands.

Mali's face became even worse and he said unhappy: "Of course!"

Seeing this, Zhou Jing stopped joking.

Bargaining is just deliberately playing the character of an apostle, and he actually doesn't care about money.

Of course, the tuition fee is still too expensive now, but he doesn't want to waste time asking each other again. Since he can learn here, then this is it.

Mali's attitude changes are either to squeeze apprentices or to teach to cut corners, drain other people's wallets, and bully helpless people from outsiders, and are not a good person.

But Jason's existence is a guarantee. If this person doesn't teach well and charges so much money, there will be someone behind him!

There is no consumer protection association in this world. Only those with power or fists can protect their own rights.spanstyle>Gulf/spanstyle>

That's why Mali's attitude is different.

If there are no people from other places who have backers, it will be difficult to cheat!

But Zhou Jing felt that this place was suitable for him. Compared to finding a dedicated teacher, he is now more inclined to trade money.

I just found a place to learn the basics and get started, and it won’t take long.

In this way, the money and goods are settled, and the relationship is simple, so you don’t have to owe favors as you once faced with Baron.

Moreover, people are not good people, and they have no psychological pressure to do anything they do.

After finalizing the agreement, Zhou Jing paid for ten days first, then rented a house for a high price nearby, and then immediately returned to the pharmacy store and asked to start learning immediately.

Having just collected the money, Jason's intimidation, Mali didn't dare to take a break for one night until the next day as usual. He could only take out two rough books with a smelly face, namely herbal illustrations and basic general theories of medicines, and start teaching.

[Learning [herbal knowledge]]

[Study Acceleration Cost: 20 Star Border]

[Studying [Pharmaceutical Science]]

[Study Acceleration Cost: 50 Star Border]

“Open all.”

Zhou Jing did not hesitate at all, and listened to Mali's explanation of the drug knowledge, and once again entered a state of learning that was more efficient than flow.

...

A month passed in a flash.

In front of the pharmacy counter behind the pharmacy shop, Zhou Jing was busy, and Mali was watching.

Zhou Jing skillfully handles various medicinal materials, uses various utensils to prepare the herbs into the required form, boils and mixes them in order, and finally pours the formed potion into the bottle.

The yellow potion is like beer, and it is still bubbling with bubbles.

"Come and try."

Zhou Jing kicked Xiao Heiyi, who was lying at his feet, squeezed open his mouth hard, and poured all the potion in.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Xiao Hei No. 1 struggled violently, but it was useless.

After a while, the sickly little black No. 1 suddenly became full of energy, jumping around, and having fun all over the room.

This month, it was Zhou Jing's main drug test subject. I don't know how many kinds of potions I drank. My previous injuries had been cured long ago. The main problem now is endocrine disorders.

Zhou Jing has no high requirements for it, just stay alive, and has been focusing on pharmacy and has not had enough time to tame animals.

It was just a coincidence that he found that the black spotted hyena who had drunk a lot of potions had increased in cultivation.

After taming animals through the generations, we developed the drug-taking animals... Although the painting style is unhealthy, it is really useful.
