Even if Shi Yingxue and Xie Ning were old acquaintances, Shi Yingxue didn't want to give up anything they could compete with.
Shi Yingxue didn't want to pass up the opportunity to learn from a strong alchemist like Aunt Jun.
She smiled slightly in the direction where Aunt Jun and Xie Ning disappeared, and followed them neatly to the classroom where she should go.
Fear?
Shi Yingxue never felt afraid of things he already knew. His opponent's bargaining chip had already been marked in front of him. What Shi Yingxue did was to go all out.
After talking to Aunt Jun, almost all the new disciples had arrived. When Shi Yingxue arrived in the classroom, the tables that had been arranged according to the number of people earlier were basically full, except for four people in the corner.
five positions.
Shi Yingxue roughly counted, and there were about thirty or so people. When these people saw Shi Yingxue standing at the door, they all greeted her with a smile, and Shi Yingxue returned the greeting one by one.
Xie Ning was also sitting in the corner, but when he came, he should have been able to pick a seat near the front. Why didn't he sit in the front?
But after a while, Shi Yingxue felt relieved. Aunt Jun didn't come to the class to teach, she was just a student assistant. She could just sit anywhere, and she was meditating and reading by herself anyway.
Xie Ning looked at Shi Yingxue walking towards him, with quite complicated eyes. He thought that Shi Yingxue would sit next to him, and he was a little expecting and a little resistant in his heart. Just when Shi Yingxue walked over, there was someone in front of him.
A senior sister who was speaking suddenly shouted: "Ruyi, that seat belongs to my junior sister. She went out and asked me to help her occupy a seat. I'm sorry!"
Shi Yingxue nodded, indicating that she didn't care, and turned around to go to another desk.
After a while, the student assistant Aunt Jun mentioned came over. He was a young senior who looked to be just over 20 years old. He handed a jade slip said to be written by Aunt Jun herself into everyone's hands and spoke softly.
He said softly: "If you don't understand anything, you can write it down one by one and just ask me during the break."
The disciples nodded one after another.
As soon as the class bell rang, there was no sound of quarreling and talking around. Everyone first flipped through the paper albums they received to familiarize themselves with some basic medicinal herbs.
This was the first time Shi Yingxue had seen such an album. She calmed down and looked at it with great interest, without paying any attention to what the people around her were doing.
The herbs in the album are clearly divided into "beneficial" and "harmful" categories, with the word "harmful" listed first, and the cover is written in vermilion ink, "It is better not to make elixirs than to use poisonous herbs by mistake."
Shi Yingxue thought for a moment that Gong Tingyu's uncle died tragically because he made the wrong raw materials, and he immediately became alarmed. If he made a mistake like this, he might lose everything, and even lose his life.
So she memorized the shapes and shapes of all the poisonous weeds in the album more carefully, which took a lot of her time and attention.
Shi Yingxue knew that her memory was not very good. She did not have a photographic memory, and she even had a bad memory. Some people could remember things after reading them two or three times, but Shi Yingxue had to read them seven times.
eight times.
This can be considered a natural flaw, and you can only make up for this shortcoming by putting in more dedication and effort than others.
Shi Yingxue also read the entire lesson carefully, which was a full hour before she realized why so many people were unwilling and unable to become alchemists. This atlas only described basic Zhicao elixirs.
, these alone are three or four thick volumes, and it is not easy to memorize them all.
Cultivation itself is already extremely time-consuming. Many people cannot cover everything, so they can only discard some of them and keep the ones they are best at.
Shi Yingxue still doesn't know whether she is suitable for alchemy, but she doesn't want to be ashamed of her natural spiritual fire, and she will definitely try her best.
She will definitely work hard until the end. If it really doesn't work out and Shi Yingxue doesn't have this talent, then she has worked hard and has no regrets in her heart.
Distinguishing herbs is really boring. Even Shi Yingxue felt a little distracted during this hour. Sometimes she sat upright and stretched her arms, and she could actually see someone holding their head up like a chicken pecking at rice. It was obvious that
Really sleepy.
Xie Ning seemed to be very familiar with these things. He stacked the books together and picked out some fresh herbs.
Shi Yingxue took out cold water from the storage ring to moisten her throat, and then continued to watch.
The next three days were spent like this. As Yuan Qian said, Aunt Jun couldn't even touch her figure.
Most of the disciples were fine, looking at their trees silently. If they didn't understand, they would ask the seniors who were their assistants in an orderly manner during the breaks. Only one or two who had given up on themselves had piled all the books on top of each other.
Together, they just fell asleep with their pillows as pillows, and said something else: "I can't learn this thing, I'd better go back and practice hard. I haven't experienced the pain of studying, and I can't remember it at all. After these three days,
I will never come again."
Shi Yingxue studied the album carefully in the alchemy hall during the day, trying to write down the contents one by one. When he went back at night, he wanted to see the sword skills again, but he was repeatedly rejected by the sword servant Li Yang: "Sword
The main mental energy is consumed too much and is not suitable for cultivation."
Alas, Shi Yingxue finally understood that fish and bear's paws are invisible.
However, although she found it a bit boring at first, she gradually became interested in it. Ye Qingqiu heard that Shi Yingxue studied alchemy so hard that he even bought someone an interesting magic weapon to give to her.
This magic weapon is an all-encompassing astrolabe. After injecting spiritual energy, you can view the known varieties of 13,281 beneficial herbs and 9,625 highly toxic herbs.
The growth state is equivalent to a large encyclopedia. It is simply a magic weapon that is not too good for new alchemy disciples. This made Shi Yingxue extremely grateful, and she was determined to practice well and be worthy of it.
Master supports and values me.
Three days passed quickly, and it was time to go learn to refine weapons.
Just as Yuan Qian was taking Shi Yingxue to the Weapon Refining Hall, he heard that senior Feng Qing'er, who was in charge of the Weapon Refining Hall, was out on business with all the teachers, and all the courses for this quarter were temporarily put on hold.
Yuan Qian was very happy to be able to take a break to catch his breath, and Shi Yingxue was also happy that she could spend all her time studying alchemy.
With free time to breathe, Shi Yingxue spent the day using the atlas and astrolabe to memorize the atlas.
Aunt Jun probably heard that Shi Yingxue was so caring and asked someone to give Shi Yingxue a handful of tranquilizing pills to replenish his mind.
