Chapter 25 Miao Zheng is taller than him, isn’t that right?
Under Qi Qing's insistence, the city lord was forced to give up the idea of inviting ten alchemists to compete for the position and instead invited an experienced alchemist from the Alchemy Academy.
The alchemist had a serious look on his face. After placing the furnace in front of the small hall, he unfolded a piece of rice paper and began to carefully teach the basic knowledge of the alchemy formula.
Qi Qing's eyes became dull and lifeless after hearing this.
"First, pour a pot of clean water and half a spoonful of spiritual spring water into the furnace..."
Then add a whole chicken.
"Three sand root fruits, purple salvia miltiorrhiza needs to be cooked in advance to bring out its medicinal properties, and one piece of phantom grass..."
Add a little more soy sauce and salt to taste.
"Grind the jade crystal into powder, wait until the water in the cauldron is about to boil, mix it with the remaining half spoonful of spiritual spring water and pour it over..."
Finally, sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve!
Qi Qing was turning the brush in his hand rapidly, as if he had smelled the fragrance of the chicken. But at this moment, Yue Ji suddenly bumped him with his elbow.
He quickly caught the dropped pen and came to his senses to look at the boy.
"Master." Yue Ji's lips moved, silently reminding him.
The next moment, the alchemist stretched out his hand and knocked in front of him: "Fellow Daoist Qi, are you listening?"
Qi Qing smiled awkwardly and stammered, "I'm here, I'm here."
It was like I was back in high school and was called by my homeroom teacher. I suddenly felt twenty years younger.
Seeing that he sat up straight, the alchemist withdrew his hand and continued teaching. Unfortunately, the young man was very impatient and after a while, he started to pay attention to the simple diagram of herbs in the alchemy manual.
He secretly started painting and in a few strokes he turned the herbs into a rabbit.
Qi Qing seemed to find drawing very fun, so he turned to the next page and planned to draw another turtle.
The alchemist stopped teaching and spoke again helplessly: "Fellow Daoist Qi... are you listening?"
Qi Qing was concentrating on writing, but was suddenly called and his lines were shaken.
He looked up and saw the alchemist and Yue Ji looking at him silently.
He touched his nose guiltily and said affirmatively, "I'm really listening."
...Actually, I can’t listen to it any more.
He regretted now, he regretted very much that he had promised Yue Ji that he would accompany him to complete the green level course and not leave for a single moment.
Returning to the classroom, Qi Qing felt like he had aged ten years.
There was really nothing to do, so he put down his pen and began to look at the alchemist in front of him.
This man looks to be in his forties or fifties. I heard that he was born in Danxiu Academy and later stayed on to become an elder of the academy. He just got the purple-level token a few years ago.
Although he is not very talented, he is steady and has a solid foundation. If one can understand the knowledge he teaches well, he will definitely gain a lot and become a great alchemist when he returns to Middle-earth.
However, as a monk who wields swordsmanship, is it really necessary for me to master alchemy?
Thinking of this, Qi Qing suddenly felt something in his heart.
Yes, although he doesn't refine pills, he has not neglected other practices in the past few years.
——If you want to sneak out, can't you just leave an incarnation here?
Anyway, Yue Ji and the alchemist are not as skilled as him and most likely won't notice it. When he comes back, he can still read the memory of his incarnation and pretend that he has never gone out.
He did it as soon as he said it. He quietly activated the magic formula, left his incarnation at the original place, and stood up and left.
The boy sitting at the same table seemed to notice something and turned his head slightly, but the avatar sat upright, listening very seriously, and it was impossible to find fault with him.
Done!
Qi Qing started humming a little tune as he went out.
After two days in Liucheng, he had not yet had a good look at the city. Previously, he only knew that it was the place where the Alchemy Conference was held. After yesterday's twists and turns, he realized that the Alchemy Academy should not be underestimated. He just took this opportunity to go out and help Yue Ji find out the strength of the opponent.
The young man blended into the crowd and started a live broadcast.
[Changed the map? ]
As soon as the show started, old viewers flocked into the live broadcast room.
[Where is this place? Why are the pedestrians dressed so boldly? It is really immoral. ]
[Old-fashioned, the local environment and soil nurture the local people, do you understand the local customs and habits? 】
Several comments floated over, and some viewers were concerned about Yue Ji's whereabouts: [Why is the cub not here? ]
Qi Qing said lazily: "He was studying, I sneaked out."
He was so comfortable out playing by himself, looking around and chatting with passers-by from time to time, like a lone cultivator who came to Liucheng to try his luck.
Liucheng was bustling with people. Qi Qing followed the crowd through the long street. Bells rang softly on the four corners of the eaves, green curtains fluttered, and all he saw was an exotic scene.
Smelling the rich aroma of herbs, he soon found Baocui Tower where many alchemists gathered.
Baocuilou is the largest supplier of alchemy raw materials in Liucheng, and it has everything from basic raw materials to precious herbs.
If you are lucky, you may come across some precious elixirs that have just been stored. It is best to come here to inquire about your opponents.
Qi Qing squeezed in unnoticed, and while looking at other competitors, he pretended to select spiritual herbs, and actually found a loophole under the guidance of the barrage.
I don’t know if Yue Ji can use it, so I’ll put it away for now.
Qi Qing threw it into the storage ring, then thought again, he had put in a lot of effort, and when Yue Ji becomes a disciple of a new master, he wondered if that old man would be equally attentive to him?
Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably melancholy.
After all, he is the disciple I raised with great effort. After we part after the alchemy conference, will I have the chance to see him again in the future?
...Will Yue Ji miss him?
[Why do I feel like the host is a little absent-minded today? 】
[I guess she's thinking about having a baby. 】
[Come to think of it, isn't the anchor the master? Now that you've escaped, who is teaching you as an apprentice? ]
Qi Qing sighed and said, "Of course it's someone else."
He put away the spiritual herbs and continued to walk deeper into the crowd, thinking: "Let me warn everyone first. Our Ascension Channel may have to be renamed soon."
[Why? Is the cub going to start his apprenticeship? ]
"No." The young man thought for a moment and explained in layman's terms: "He is going to transfer to another school."
The shopkeeper was puzzled when he saw that this man only picked out herbs that looked dry and withered. He observed him quietly for a moment and was suddenly shocked.
Although the plants this man picked were inconspicuous, when he used his spiritual power to explore them, he found that they were all remnants with their medicinal properties perfectly preserved.
——This person has an extraordinary vision, he must be a high-level alchemist!
The shopkeeper did not dare to be perfunctory, and went up to him and asked in a friendly manner: "My lord, the first floor is full of things for beginners in alchemy, I am afraid that they are not up to your level. Why don't you follow me to the second floor?"
He personally led the way, and Qi Qing couldn't refuse, so he simply followed him upstairs to take a look.
[Why do you want to transfer schools for no reason? 】
[Tonic, I just want to watch the anchor raising a cub, who should I watch if I turn it off? ]
[Your apprentice agreed? Doesn't he have a deep relationship with you? Is he willing to give up this?]
Of course I can’t bear to do that.
But what can he do? Can he still delay Yue Ji's life?
The comments in the comments made Qi Qing a little upset. He was about to turn it off when he saw a comment floating by: [The spiritual light of top-grade medicinal materials, there must be a treasure on the second floor that has awakened its spiritual wisdom. ]
Qi Qing instantly perked up and rubbed his hands together: "Okay, big brother, where are we going to pan for gold?"
Speaking of baby, he is no longer sleepy.
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to urge him, the young man took a few steps onto the wooden steps, but was immediately stopped.
"Does the Immortal have an appointment?" the maid asked with a smile.
How come there is a reservation system in the world of cultivation?
Qi Qing said nothing, but turned his gaze towards the shopkeeper, who came up breathlessly and explained, "I invited this immortal here, so there's no need to make an appointment."
The maid said in embarrassment: "No, the second floor is reserved by an adult..."
The shopkeeper was stunned and asked, "Is the city lord here?"
Qi Qing subconsciously looked behind the maid, but did not find the figure that looked like the city lord.
The faint fragrance of herbs wafted into my nose, and several maids surrounded a person. The person was very tall, taller than Qi Qing, wearing a silver-white long-sleeved shirt and a scarlet long skirt. His black hair was tied up, and he had a cold temperament. He glanced at the side and whispered something to someone beside him.
Noticing the gaze at the door, she turned her head and her narrow eyes fell on Qi Qing.
Qi Qing looked at her for a moment, and vaguely felt that the other person's appearance and temperament were somewhat familiar.
The shopkeeper excitedly said behind him: "It's Immortal Miao Zheng. I've met Immortal Miao Zheng!"
The young man stood there in a daze.
Wait, this person who is half a head taller than him, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, is the cold and talented female alchemist who had an ambiguous spark with Yue Ji in the original novel? ?
...isn't this a bit too hasty?
Not to mention their age, when this guy stands next to Yue Ji, they look at least a generation different in appearance!
Even Lalang doesn't do it this way!
If this could develop into a love story, it would be a crime.
The shopkeeper stepped forward happily and saluted, but when he turned around, he saw Qi Qing still standing there stupidly.
The man with a cold look on his face took a light step and silently walked to Qi Qing, raising his eyebrows slightly: "My fellow Taoist, why are you staring at me?"
Qi Qing said awkwardly: "Look at you."
He was embarrassed to say it was because of his height, fearing that the other party would think he was making a fuss and was a short-sighted Middle-earth monk.
Before Miao Zheng could speak, the maid behind her looked gloomy and said, "Disrespectful."
"I'm not a pervert!" Qi Qing quickly explained, "It was the first time I saw such a good-looking person. I was so engrossed in looking at him that I forgot to say hello. I really didn't mean anything else!"
It would have been better if he didn't explain, because once he did, it seemed like the situation was getting worse.
Seeing that the maid's face became increasingly worse, Miao Zheng frowned.
She seemed to want to say something, and a bold barrage of words suddenly flashed before Qi Qing's eyes.
【Treasures are coming, be careful. 】
The next moment, the wooden door behind Miao Zheng shattered with a bang, and a white shadow appeared out of nowhere and hit the two of them.
…
City Lord's Mansion.
The alchemist was teaching a class when he suddenly saw Qi Qing pull out his chair and stand up.
"Fellow Daoist Qi?" He stopped where he was, picking up the spiritual herb, and asked with a headache, "What's wrong with you?"
Yue Ji also put down his pen.
He looked at the young man in front of him, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and realized something was wrong.
Under the gaze of the two people, Qi Qing turned and walked towards the door. After taking two steps, he turned into a transparent shadow and disappeared.
