Just leave everything to the teacher to solve.

She doesn't have to use her brain at all.

Teacher Jiang Yi: ...It's her honor to have such a disciple! "You..." The teacher was not around, so Jiang Yi could only bite the bullet and go ahead. She opened and closed her mouth, but finally said it awkwardly.

"Are you a naturalist or a mechanicalist?"

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.

Qiao Bai: “?”

Qiao Bai: “!”

Qiao Bai's brain was working rapidly.

Listening to Jiang Yilue's immature and slightly hoarse voice, it was difficult to distinguish between male and female voices, as well as the problems she raised.

Many things flashed through Qiao Bai's mind.

Naturalism? Mechanicalism? What are these? He had never heard of them!

Are there any natural or mechanical beast masters? I must say that he is the egg yolk type, delicious and I love to eat more.

But you definitely can't say that.

The man in front of him, his gaze from under the black robe fixed on him as if it were real, and he had no choice but to answer.

Qiao Bai's gaze moved from Xiao Wu and the "Angel".

According to the other party's wishes.

Xiao Wu is a naturalist.

Angels are mechanical? This is an interesting distinction.

Although Qiao Bai didn't understand, he could analyze a lot of interesting things from it.

Before he discovered the Mechanical Heart, there were no extraordinary creatures with mechanical attributes, so where did the so-called mechanical school come from?

Qiao Bai's heart was slightly moved.

An idea seemed to flash through his mind, but he didn't have time to catch it.

Almost.

Still a little short, he needs a few more clues to analyze the current situation.

"Hmm..." Qiao Bai showed a pensive expression.

Jiang Yi continued to stare at Qiao Bai with his eyes wide open, waiting for Qiao Bai's answer.

Qiao Bai noticed it.

For a moment, a very terrifying aura came from Jiang Yi.

"This respected..." Qiao Bai looked at Jiang Yi, as if he wanted to address him but didn't know what to use.

"I am just an apprentice alchemist. You don't need to use honorifics for me."

“We are the same.”

Qiao Bai: “!”

Pupil tremor.

Big earthquake.

Qiao Bai felt as if there were waves and tsunamis in his mind.

no?

What did he hear just now? Apprentice, apprentice, both can be crossed out.

alchemy?!

no?

The alchemist? Didn't this profession, this industry, and this group of people disappear two to three thousand years ago? Stormy waves are not enough to describe Qiao Bai's mood at this moment.

Take a deep breath.

Qiao Bai tried his best to calm himself down and not show any abnormality on the surface.

Although but.

I don't know why the other party also regarded me as an apprentice alchemist, but in this environment, maybe it's a good thing? It's always easier to gain trust when you are one of their own.

But there was another problem before him.

These alchemists seem to be divided into different schools.

Natural school.

Without a doubt, it is the most primitive life creation close to nature.

For example, Xiao Wu.

For example, Qiao Bai’s other pets besides “Angel”.

Mechanical school.

His representative work is "Angel".

Qiao Bai also recalled the description of "angel" he had seen before.

The pinnacle of extraordinary mechanical creatures.

The ultimate weapon.

Qiao Bai took a deep breath and felt extremely fortunate. No matter what, the "Angel" was not in its complete form now.

Otherwise, there will be big problems when it lands! That ’s not right either.

Qiao Bai thought again and felt it was hard to say, not necessarily.

Although I don't know whether this alchemy apprentice in front of me is a naturalist or a mechanicalist.

But if he really controls the invincible "Angel" in its complete form, he will have strong capital.

The mechanical alchemist will also quickly move towards him.

His experience might be the same situation again.

But these are just Qiao Bai's fantasies.

What Qiao Bai really has to face is this alchemy apprentice in front of him who he doesn't know which side he supports.

If he answered incorrectly...

"My situation..." Qiao Bai lowered his eyes and looked melancholy.

Seeing Qiao Bai's hesitant look, Jiang Yi seemed to understand a little.

"I don't really understand what you're talking about."

Many thoughts raced through Qiao Bai's mind.

First, he pretends to be embarrassed and shows that he has his own difficulties.

The next step is to find a suitable excuse.

Explain why he had two pets from two different schools at the same time? Thinking of this, Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

Is there such a thing as a pet in this era?

In the eyes of the other party, should Xiaowu and "Angel" be his pets? Qiao Bai was puzzled.

But this is not the most important thing at the moment. I still have to find a way to explain things first, and then talk about other things.

"This is what my parents left for me." Qiao Bai pointed at the "Angel".

There is no such term as pet or partner.

Qiao Bai was able to be vague and just did it vaguely.

As for what it would mean to the other person, that was not something Qiao Bai needed to worry about.

Qiao Bai pointed at Xiao Wu again: "This is what my brother left for me."

The answer is that they are all relatives.

It has nothing to do with him.

He, Qiao Bai, is just an ordinary, good kid who inherited the wishes of his parents and brothers and values ​​feelings! Qiao Bai pursed his lips and said, "They are all gone now."

Qiao Bai sighed, with infinite melancholy in his voice.

Jiang Yi felt a little embarrassed about this.

She even couldn't help but start to wonder if she was asking too much.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Yi apologized sincerely.

Qiao Bai smiled and said, "It's okay."

It really doesn't matter.

He really has no parents or brothers, so Qiao Bai wouldn't feel embarrassed to use this to play up his sympathy.

Jianmu Lily: “?”

hello?

Cub? Look at me? Qiao Bai: Ignore.jpg A pet and a tree, there is no human rights.

Qiao Bai was serious and spoke righteously.

As for saying it doesn’t matter… then it definitely doesn’t matter.

Qiao Bai also noticed it.

This apprentice alchemist is a kind person.

Otherwise, there is no need for the other party to apologize for such a thing.

certainly.

It is also possible that Qiao Bai still doesn’t know enough about this place.

It's not a big problem.

Qiao Bai's eyes fell on this kind-hearted good man.

Isn't there a ready-made way to understand it here? "So what are the natural and mechanical schools you mentioned?" Qiao Bai blinked, revealing his confusion about the news without hiding it at all.

No relatives.

Alone.

It's normal that friends (?) who come with their parents and brothers don't know much about this information which is probably common knowledge, right?

Jiang Yi obviously thought so too.

There is nothing wrong with the logic of what Qiao Bai said.

Looking at the two pets that Qiao Bai brought with him, Jiang Yi pursed his lips.

"Well...your brother is...rebellious?"

Qiao Bai: Ahem

"But compared to the mechanical school, the natural school is indeed more worthy of support and study."

Qiao Bai laughed.

very good.

It is now certain which sect this alchemy apprentice belongs to.

You will know by listening to the words.

A naturalist without a doubt.

Everything he said revealed the more noble ideals of the natural school.

Qiao Bai did not comment on this.

"As for your parents..." Jiang Yi's gaze on the "angel" was still filled with some dissatisfaction.

She didn't say much.

Just enough.

After all, they are Qiao Bai's parents.

In the eyes of an apprentice alchemist who embarked on this journey alone and did not know enough about both the natural and mechanical schools.

Compared with the so-called persistence, parents and brothers are definitely more important.

Jiang Yi decided to be a guide and help Qiao Bai catch up on his studies.

"Alchemists are divided into two groups. One is the naturalists who worship nature, and the other is the mechanicalists who take pride in mechanical creations."

"Among them, the naturalists advocate that all things come from the life that already exists between heaven and earth."

"learn."

"respect."

"Analyze it and make it your own."

Hearing this, Qiao Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't say anything.

But how to say it.

No matter how you sound, this doesn't seem right.

Once you understand respect, you can make things your own?

What kind of weird bandit logic is this?

Qiao Bai smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that Qiao Bai did not express any opinion or attitude after listening, Jiang Yi couldn't help feeling discouraged.

After hearing his description, shouldn't Qiao Bai be excited?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yi looked at Qiao Bai again.

All right.

It may also be because Qiao Bai’s understanding of their natural school is still not deep enough.

If only the teacher could say...

Jiang Yi shook his head.

Not likely.

"Those who belong to the mechanical school despise natural life and insist on creating life that does not exist in this world out of thin air, and then use it for their own benefit."

"They will get their comeuppance sooner or later!"

Jiang Yi said solemnly.

Qiao Bai's brows twitched again.

no?

Is there anything wrong with this?

Alchemist.

alchemy.

It's normal to create something out of thin air, right?

After thinking about it, Qiao Bai asked this question.

"Well... I haven't had much contact with or knowledge of it, so in this regard I'm a little..." Qiao Bai showed an embarrassed expression and said to Jiang Yi with a smile.

What Qiao Bai didn't expect was that Jiang Yi's reaction to this was not that big.

If Qiao Bai couldn't see Jiang Yi's expression.

He could even see understanding on Jiang Yi's face.

“That’s normal.”

"Alchemy apprentices and many people who don't know much about alchemy have similar thoughts. This is not a strange thing."

Rather, this is about the subject that Jiang Yi is best at.

"First of all, not everyone can become an alchemist. Only those who can resonate with the energy between heaven and earth have this honor."

Jiang Yi, whose voice had been very low before, became exceptionally louder when he spoke to this point.

It doesn't match her image of wearing a cloak at all.

Qiao Bai didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

He didn't even try to resonate with the energy of the bottoming station that Jiang Yi mentioned.

It's not safe here.

Moreover, there is an apprentice in front of him who knows alchemy well enough, and who knows if he will reveal any mistakes.

Let’s wait and see.

Qiao Bai is not in a hurry.

What Qiao Bai lacks the least is time and patience.

Take your time.

Qiao Bai couldn't tell whether he had really traveled back to more than three thousand years ago, or entered an illusion that was so real that it was terrifying.

But if you don't know enough about your surroundings, it's always better to be honest and do your job.

Even though Qiao Bai was a person who liked to spend time together, he knew that he had to spend time together within a certain range.

Otherwise it's really easy to flip over.

Qiao Bai just nodded, which aroused Jiang Yi's interest in continuing.

"How is the energy resonance between you and the heaven and earth?" Jiang Yi looked at Qiao Bai and asked seriously.

"Hmm." Qiao Bai frowned: "I don't know if I'm learning correctly."

"Could you please demonstrate it so I can compare it?"

As Qiao Bai said this, he looked very shy and embarrassed.

"Okay." Jiang Yi exhaled gently from his chest.

I didn't expect to meet a newcomer who only has a vague knowledge of alchemy today. Think about myself, who is still one place short of the enrollment quota.

Jiang Yi took a deep breath.

We must take down this new guy today!

Let him join the Natural School voluntarily! Qiao Bai: “?”

For some unknown reason, I felt that the person in front of me seemed to have a strong fighting spirit.

It shouldn't be a big problem, right? Jiang nodded.

Open your arms.

At this moment, the social phobia on Jiang Yi disappeared completely.

His entire body exudes an indescribable majesty.

Qiao Bai was not shocked.

If I must say...most beast masters also have this kind of aura.

Then Qiao Bai opened his eyes wide.

etc?

What did he see? A golden, illusory hexahedron-like object appeared in Jiang Yi's palm.

Spinning in Jiang Yi's palm.

There was a look of confusion in Qiao Bai's eyes.

What is this?

"Golden Heart Core."

"This is the most direct demonstration of every alchemist's communication with the energy of heaven and earth."

"Feel the energy of heaven and earth, and call upon the core of the golden heart within."

Qiao Bai: “…”

silence.

Silence is the constant atmosphere.

Jiang Yi looked at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai looked back at Jiang Yi.

There was a faint atmosphere of awkwardness between them.

Jiang Yi: “?”

Wasn't she being explicit enough?

Why does the person in front of him still look so confused? Qiao Bai: "Is there a possibility... You want to start by telling me what the Golden Heart Core is, how it manifests, and how to summon it?"

Jiang Yi: "Ahem."

"It's my first time teaching, so I'm not very clear about something." Jiang Yi believed what Qiao Bai said.

really.

She was too anxious.

"Hmm...let me think about it."

Jiang Yi closed her eyes and recalled with difficulty how her teacher had introduced her to the profession.

Can you just do a light reenactment? "Close your eyes."

Oh oh oh! I remembered!

Jiang Yi said quickly.

Qiao Bai was very cooperative.

He closed his eyes decisively.
