It is another matter if you cannot spit out what you have obtained.
After bidding farewell to Jiang Yi who was reluctant to leave, Qiao Bai looked at the golden brown purse in his hand.
Open the top drawstring.
Qiao Bai took out a...pot?
Qiao Bai: “?”
Although there have been speculations for a long time.
But the moment he really escaped from the pot, Qiao Bai still opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"space?"
This thing actually exists? Or did it appear more than 3,000 years ago?
Qiao Bai was disheveled in the wind.
What's up.
But this technology is regressing, right? Qiao Bai couldn't help but pinched his arm.
kindness.
It hurts.
It is unlikely that you are dreaming.
Looking at the palm-sized purse in his hand again, Qiao Bai found it interesting.
"Is this alchemy?" Qiao Bai touched his chin.
Why does it feel more like magic or conjuring?
Hard to say.
For people who don't understand the principles behind it, there really isn't much difference between so-called alchemy and magic.
Thinking of this, Qiao Bai nodded.
"It seems we should go to a bigger town."
A person in the wilderness.
Don’t worry about whether this world is real or fake.
Without contact with other people, there is no way to gain in-depth understanding, and there is no way to develop the main storyline.
This is not a big deal after all.
Tana Town? Or Ender City? These are the only two known suitable choices.
Qiao Bai thought about it and felt that this was not the case.
"Let's go around the nearby towns first and see if we can hear more news."
Qiao Bai stuffed all the apple grass into his purse.
No problem at all.
Qiao Bai tried it.
I always feel like there's more that can be crammed in.
I'm a little moved.
How about... some more apple grass?
Qiao Bai didn't care about the various disdain Jiang Yi had shown towards Ping Cao before.
Is it related to him?
No!
He thought it was valuable, so he did it .
Qiao Bai took decisive action.
After harvesting a lot of apple grass, Qiao Bai finally stopped working with satisfaction.
No matter how much we can harvest later, it’s not a loss to have these apple grasses.
The rest...
Take it easy!
He's not in a hurry anyway! ...
Getting information is a technical job.
Qiao Bai can’t say he is good at it.
But Qiao Bai is not completely without advantages.
That is - his talent as an alchemist.
Qiao Bai: “?”
Cough cough.
It's a bit embarrassing to say.
It’s all about relying on talent to make a living...but this method works!
No matter what problems and difficulties you face.
As long as he showed his identity as an alchemy apprentice, the problem would be solved instantly.
That’s not all.
The attitude of ordinary people towards him also changed instantly.
but……
Qiao Bai looked at the shabby thatched hut in front of him. Even though there was nothing to eat, he still took out the last of the food at home to entertain his family of four.
Qiao Bai sighed deeply again.
This is a damn cannibalistic era.
Qiao Bai stopped the action of this woman who was only in her thirties but looked like an elderly person.
"No, I'm just passing by."
Qiao Bai said softly.
Records of the era before the advent of Warcraft are scarce.
Most of the descriptions in the history books of this world are about the struggles between the ancestors and the monsters after the appearance of the monsters.
Qiao Bai subconsciously thought.
Before that, the China in this world also faced a dynasty from the feudal period.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
Alchemy and alchemy workshops are more like Western products.
Qiao Bai was very sure.
This is the land of China, with black hair, black eyes and Asian appearance.
so what?
What's the problem?
These are not the most important things.
The most important thing is... Why do people living in this land with magical alchemical power have such a hard life? It doesn't seem right to think about it.
With such a magical alchemy, shouldn’t life be easier for countries, dynasties, and nations?
Take a deep breath.
Let’s put aside the desire to help others for the moment and focus on respecting your own destiny.
He still doesn't know what the situation is that he is in this place!
"I just want to ask if there are any larger towns nearby, those are the ones."
Looking at the old woman who was particularly unnatural and always a little timid when facing him, Qiao Bai lowered his voice again and asked softly.
Seeing that Qiao Bai really didn't care, the old woman squinted her eyes and spoke thoughtfully.
"The town nearby..."
“There are a lot of small towns.”
"The nearest town to us is Shuiping Town. People nearby usually go there if they need to buy anything."
"Then there are towns of all sizes, such as Changyang Town, Tana Town, and Sanshili Town."
Qiao Bai listened and nodded in his heart.
He had only heard of Tana Town and Ander City before, and thought that the towns here were all named after the West.
I didn’t answer it. I didn’t think…
Okay okay.
Any strange name is possible, he should accept it and get used to it sooner.
real.
He already has the space and wallet, so is there anything here that he cannot accept and understand?
As she spoke, the old woman glanced at Qiao Bai's face cautiously.
Nothing has changed.
But he didn't show any satisfaction.
After thinking for a while, the old woman continued.
"You're an alchemy apprentice... You should go to a town with more people like you, right?"
"Then I would recommend you to go to Tana Town and Sanshili Town. It is said that there are very famous alchemy workshops in these two towns."
"I heard that the child of my neighbor's relative has joined!"
The old woman puffed out her chest with pride.
Qiao Bai: “…”
The children of the relatives next door?
This is really a relationship that couldn't be more distant.
"In a bigger city..." Fortunately, the old woman still remembered that the person in front of her was a respected apprentice alchemist, not a handyman like the neighbor's relative's child.
She thought for a moment and continued, "We don't know much about the situation in larger cities."
"But the two largest cities nearby are Ender City and Twin Cities."
"Logically speaking, there should be alchemists and alchemy workshops inside."
The old woman told Qiao Bai everything she knew.
Qiao Bai nodded gratefully.
He took out a round bronze metal coin from the purse that Jiang Yi had given him before. It looked like currency based on the amount piled in the purse, and handed it to the old woman in front of him.
"Thanks."
After saying this, Qiao Bai turned around and left without waiting for the old woman to react.
Retreat! Qiao Bai walked quickly.
The old woman didn't react at all.
Qiao Bai didn't even notice that the old woman was holding the round piece of bronze metal tightly with an expression of shock and disbelief on her face.
"This...this, this, this..." It is really too expensive!
Thank you to this unknown young apprentice... Mr. Alchemist! ...
"A-choo——"
Qiao Bai, who didn't know who was talking about him, sneezed loudly.
He rubbed his nose and muttered.
"I don't know what the situation is with Li Gan."
"If I take too long to go back, will he be scared?"
Qiao Bai sighed as he spoke.
Although but.
He couldn't do anything about it.
This is all we can do for now.
Take care of the present.
Through the old woman's words, Qiao Bai now has two more choices.
Sanshili Town.
Twin Cities.
Choose one of four?
No.
Qiao Bai shook his head.
“Why do people have to make choices?”
Qiao Bai said softly: "I want them all!"
Isn’t it just running around all four places?
This was not a difficult task for Qiao Bai at all.
After all...he has little jellyfish! Yes.
The little jellyfish is now half the size of Joe Bai.
It can barely serve as a pet for Qiao Bai to use for transportation.
Little jellyfish: Happy.jpg Tentacles dancing wildly!
Hehehe~ "According to the distance between several towns, let's go to Tana Town first." Qiao Bai released the little jellyfish and reached out to gently pat the little jellyfish on the head a few times.
He looked at the little jellyfish with gentle eyes and said, "I'll leave it to you from now on."
"na~"
The little jellyfish waved its pink tentacles excitedly.
Leave it to the little jellyfish! It's safe and secure! The little jellyfish stretches out three tentacles and twists them together, forming a small hammock that can just accommodate one person.
The little jellyfish landed at a suitable height.
Qiao Bai could sit in it directly.
Not uncomfortable at all.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu came closer and squeezed directly into Qiao Bai's arms.
Little jellyfish: “…”
Dare not move, dare not move.
hateful!
It’s obvious that Big Sister Xiao Wu can fly by herself!
The little jellyfish chirped and said nothing.
Go! Go!
"Angel, please help me determine the direction." Qiao Bai quickly stopped the little jellyfish that was about to rush forward recklessly, and looked at the "angel" beside him with a smile.
Entrust with an important task.
"OK."
Fortunately, the "angel" is easy to talk to.
Yes.
The old woman had no map of towns and cities to travel to.
They rely on word of mouth to get their directions.
map?
It is said that it is sold in the city.
What could Qiao Bai do? When he remembered that he still needed the map, Jiang Yi had already disappeared.
He even said that he knew nothing about alchemy and managed to fool people by saying that he knew nothing about it.
If you say you don't know any of the nearby towns... that would be hard to fool people.
"I don't know what the situation is like around the town..." Qiao Bai's mood was not as optimistic as it seemed.
It's still unclear.
He also takes things one step at a time.
We'll have to wait and see.
With the "angel" and the little jellyfish exploring together, Qiao Bai naturally did not meet anyone else.
As they were approaching the first town he was going to, Qiao Bai jumped out from the tentacles of the small jellyfish.
"It's quite soft and very comfortable to sit on." Qiao Bai did not forget to praise the little jellyfish.
Very well done.
The little jellyfish waved its tentacles happily.
Hehehe~ Although I can’t compare to the big sister.
but!
It must be the most beloved beastmaster in this family!
Cat and bug:?
Little White Snake:?
Are you too proud, or are we too weak to lift the knife? Still thinking of coming from behind to take the lead? Little Jellyfish: I don't want to listen~ Jellyfish can't hear anything~ Qiao Bai doesn't understand the little dispute between his pets at all.
He collected the little jellyfish.
After thinking about it, Qiao Bai put away Xiao Wu and the "Angel" again.
"We don't know what the situation is in this town yet, so we'd better be careful." Qiao Bai comforted the little ones.
The Angel had no comment.
Little Wu and Little Jellyfish made a fuss for a while.
They were all successfully coaxed by Qiao Bai.
Then Qiao Bai rummaged through his purse and pulled out a black robe that was the same style as the one Jiang Yi was wearing, but upon closer inspection one could see that there were differences.
Sometimes a black robe is not necessarily just a black robe.
There will also be some decorations with the same patterns on it.
Just like what Jiang Yi wore before.
Qiao Bai noticed it.
There are faint golden lines.
Not sure if it's for decoration or something else?
However, the black robe that Qiao Bai took out was very simple and clean.
There's nothing on it.
It really is just a pure black robe.
Qiao Bai had no objection to this and was even a little satisfied.
Not pretty nor ugly.
He won't get into any trouble that he doesn't know about.
That's great.
It meets Qiao Bai's requirements very well.
Wearing the robe, there is nothing special about Qiao Bai from the outside.
Think about it.
Qiao Bai still didn't release his pet.
Although the robe can cover it.
What kind of detection equipment is added? It is better to be safe than sorry.
finally.
Qiao Bai relied on his feet to reach Tana Town.
As soon as he walked in, Qiao Bai frowned.
Hard, dusty loess road.
But the road is wide.
It is even more spacious than the formal principles of modern society.
On both sides of the road are residential houses mixed with various shops.
The houses include thatched houses, brick houses, and loess houses.
Qiao Bai's eyes swept over these buildings one by one.
When the residents saw someone like Qiao Bai wearing a black robe entering the town, they did not show any shocking expressions.
It seems like this is a very normal thing.
Took two steps forward.
Another person in a black robe appeared.
Qiao Bai: “?”
So this black robe is really a standard? "New here?" The newcomer in the black robe had a hoarse voice that didn't sound like a good person.
Qiao Bai had no expression on his face.
He never uses stereotypes to judge a person.
But there are always some people who want to instill unnecessary stereotypes into his mind.
"Do you know the rules here?"
As he spoke, the other party stretched out his hand from under his robe.
And his voice rarely matches.
Wrinkled.
Dry.
Qiao Bai sighed.
The other party thought Qiao Bai didn't understand: "Apprentice alchemist, right?"
"If you want to enter Tana Town and learn the alchemy ideas here, you must pay the money honestly."
"Understand?"
"If you don't have enough money, good materials will do."
"Show it to me."
Qiao Bai smiled.
I was so angry that I laughed.
However, Qiao Bai did not show it on his face, nor did he bring out any trace of it in his voice.
No need.
"It's not a good idea to give it to you here." Qiao Bai looked around as he spoke, as if he was really considering the person in front of him.
