Royal Alchemist

The masked man stood up slowly, and the silky robe fell down and dragged on the ground.

Qiu Ye discovered that this robe was woven with gold thread, how much he loves gold!

The masked man walked up to him step by step and looked at him carefully, from every hair to toe.

"This is your alchemy beast?" The masked man suddenly saw the little fat dragon.

The golden little fat dragon saw a shining golden person, and felt a kind of intimacy as if a fellow countryman saw a fellow countryman, and immediately fluttered his small wings and rushed over.

"Oh, what a beautiful alchemy beast!" the masked man said happily, and the little fat dragon shyly rubbed his big head against his hand.

It was the first time I heard someone praise Xiao Feilong's beauty so sincerely, Qiu Ye rolled her eyes, it was rare to meet this kind of aesthetics.

The masked man is hugging the little fat dragon like a puppy, and I have to admit that it looks quite harmonious.

"If you want to work in my shop, you can, but you must pass my assessment first." The masked man leaned on the counter.

Qiu Ye became nervous. Although he passed the entrance examination of the Royal Military Academy with high scores, he had no idea what this person was going to test.But he still said: "Okay, you come up with a question."

The masked man dragged out a one-meter-square box from the corner, and smashed it heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"My store sells alchemy potions, so I will test your knowledge in refining medicine. I just ordered this box of herbs, and I haven't had time to classify them. Please help me sort them out."

Alchemy has very strange requirements. No matter whether it is herb refining or metal refining, it cannot be operated by machines. Once it is operated by machines, the contained alchemical energy will disappear, so even if it is herb sorting, it must be done by humans or alchemists. The teacher will come in person.

Opening the box, Qiu Ye was stunned on the spot. There is no one familiar with the full box of herbs, and they all seem to be rare herbs. There are often additional requirements when picking and placing rare herbs. The school entrance exam has not yet covered such a thing. He simply didn't know anything about the esoteric content.

And the masked man is still very vague, classification?Is it divided by year, or by medicinal property, or by something else?

Looking at the masked man again, he threw the little fat dragon up to catch him, having a great time playing, obviously he didn't intend to explain more.

How to do it?

Qiu Ye picked up a plant that looked like a daisy, and another that looked like a dog's tail. After looking at it for a long time, I really couldn't see any difference or commonality.

However, you must get this job, otherwise you will starve to death in a few days!

Calm down and think carefully, the basic knowledge of herbal medicine has been learned in school, and the most common one is generally attribute classification.But how to distinguish the properties of herbs that I don't know?

Qiu Ye looked at it, his eyeballs were dry, he rubbed his eyes, and the tear glands secreted liquid to moisten the eyeballs.

Suddenly, he noticed that the herbs in his hand had changed a bit. The daisy was shrouded in blue light, while the dogtail grass was covered with fiery red light.

He was overjoyed, and looked into the box again, each herb was shrouded in light and mist, either bright or dark, thick or light.

There are mainly four colors, blue, red, green, and purple. The attributes corresponding to the alchemist are water, fire, wind, and thunder. He saw that the light on the masked man was blue, and the blue was so pure and clear. The blue sky, he is a water alchemist!

Once excited, Qiuye's nerves relaxed, and all the colors disappeared, no matter whether it was the color of people or the color of herbs.

He quickly calmed down, focused his attention on the herbal medicine, and concentrated on feeling it. Various colors slowly appeared and gradually became clearer.

Qiu Ye divided the herbs into four piles according to different colors, and lined up roughly according to the brightness of the light, but there were too many herbs in the box, and it still took him a lot of time.

The masked man on the side seems to be teasing Xiao Feilong, but in fact his attention has never left Qiuye.

He is the one who knows the rarity of these herbs best. He doesn't expect Qiuye to put them away in different categories. He just wants Qiuye to understand that alchemy is a very large and complicated system, and it must not be taken lightly.

But when he saw that Qiu Ye really separated the herbs according to their attributes and arranged them in a good way, he couldn't help being surprised. He bought this box of precious herbs at a high price on the black market, and even high-level alchemists Teachers may not dare to say that they can recognize everything.

How did this kid do it?Obviously he can hardly feel any alchemy power!

Qiu Ye was completely unaware of the masked man's endless thoughts, so he speeded up the classification. After a few hours, he picked up the last branch with only one leaf. It was white and beautiful, and put it aside alone.

"Am I right?" Qiuye moved her numb legs, not knowing that she had done something that even a high-level alchemist could not do.

The expression in the masked man's eyes changed, and he asked incredulously, "Do you know all these herbs?"

"No... I don't know any of them..." Qiu Ye said awkwardly.

"I don't know how you got separated?"

Qiuye thought for a while, as if judging whether this person is reliable, and finally answered honestly: "The color on it is different, I can see it."

The eyes under the mask turned away from the line of sight, as if he was looking at something but didn't seem to see anything, he seemed to have thought of something very far away, his eyes were full of reminiscence.

"Very good." He said lightly, "You can do it here, you can call me Boss Jin, easy to remember?"

"Boss Jin." Easy to remember!So easy to remember!

"You can only see but not touch. If you are fancy, you will pay without a counter-offer. If there is no packaging and no delivery, you will take care of yourself. If you leave the store, you will not be refunded or exchanged. Remember?"

"……remember."

"Ah, and there is no credit, I always forget this sentence. Okay, I'm going in, don't bother me if you have nothing to do, and it's best not to bother me if you have something to do." Boss Jin Shi Shiran dragged the golden silk woven robe and hugged him. Write a book and walk into the inner room.

It was only then that Qiu Ye remembered that he hadn't asked himself how much his salary was, but considering his aptitude with zero mental strength, it was already very rare to be able to work in an alchemy shop.

But why can I see the attributes on the alchemy items when I don't have spiritual power?This seems to be an ability that others don't have. Could it be compensation for the lack of one's own genes?Or, can you still try it in potion refining?

Qiuye is very dissatisfied with the issue of zero intensity, if he can find a breakthrough...

At this moment, he has time to observe the shop carefully. The items sold in the shop are no different from most alchemy potion shops. The counters are filled with finished products, which are sorted according to the enhancement system, weakening system, supplementation system, and raw materials on the other containers. Semi-finished products and some bottles and cans, near the door is a three-dimensional network supply machine.

Just as I was thinking about finding something to do, such as cleaning the table, some customers came to my door.

After a moment of hesitation, Qiuye still put on a smile: "Welcome to Gray Hourglass."

The person who came was a short man who was probably a regular customer. Hearing this welcome speech, his first reaction was to exit and look at the signboard, to see if he had entered the wrong door.

Unexpectedly, Boss Jin's business is strange, and there are still many customers. Customers come to buy medicines one after another throughout the day.

He finally understood why many people were so overwhelmed that they wanted to become an alchemist. When he saw that a small pot of medicine the size of a thumb sold for hundreds of thousands, his eyes were bloodshot.

But when he glanced at the price of the most basic herbal medicine, he was so scared that he vomited blood again.It's no wonder that alchemy is something that nobles play, ordinary people can't afford it at all, and an ordinary family supporting a trainee alchemist is enough to bankrupt them.

It seems that let yourself eat first before talking!

After a busy day, when it was time to close the shop, Qiu Ye packed up the store and closed the security door, explaining the business situation of the day to Boss Jin.

Boss Jin paid him 2000 yuan a day's wages with satisfaction.

"Throw away these rubbish and you can go home, remember to come early tomorrow." Boss Jin ordered.

Qiu Ye was carrying a drum full of alchemy waste, including herbal medicine residues, failed refining potions, semi-finished residues, and so on.

Suddenly, he had a thought: "Boss Jin, since you don't want it, can you give it to me?"

Boss Jin immediately understood his intention: "You want to practice alchemy with this rubbish?"

"Yes, it's useless for you anyway, why don't you just give it to me."

"Why do you learn alchemy?"

"Make money!" Qiu Ye did not hesitate.

"You love money that much?"

"Love! I love you so much!" Qiu Ye's eyes lit up.

Just when he thought Boss Jin would teach him that being an alchemist is a noble profession, and one should focus on human progress, peace in the universe, etc., under the golden mask, the black eyes curled up with a smile, Boss Jin touched the little Fat Dragon's Big head: "Very well, I like young people who love money. Take it away."

No matter how the times change, there are always some inspirational stories. In ancient times, there were chiseled walls to borrow light, and the firefly reflected the snow, so Qiuye decided to follow the example of the ancients: refining medicine with residue!

In fact, he had seen relevant knowledge in textbooks, about how to extract active ingredients from alchemy waste and put them into normal use, but he had been suffering from no chance to try.

When Feng Qi saw that he brought back a pile of rubbish, he couldn't help asking: "What are you doing with these wastes home?"

"I'm going to practice potion refining."

Alchemy is mainly divided into two categories, attack system and auxiliary system, and potion refining is one of the auxiliary systems.

Feng Qi's eyes were different: "Didn't you say that your mental strength is zero?"

"But I found that I can perceive the energy of alchemy, so I want to try it."

"Everyone can perceive alchemical energy."

Qiu Ye didn't take it seriously: "I have to try, I'm going to study at the Royal Military Academy in a month, if I can't do anything, I'm really screwed."

Feng Qi got up and left silently, as if he didn't want to talk more, when he reached the door of the living room, he stopped and didn't look back: "I advise you not to learn any alchemy, and don't go to any Royal Military Academy .”

"Why?" I don't know if it was an illusion, Qiuye felt that when he said this, there was a trace of panic in his emotions.

Feng Qi paused for a long time, his straight back was like a stone pillar, standing still, for some reason it made people feel heavy, so heavy that even breathing was difficult.

"It's far less beautiful than you imagined." He said these words slowly, clenched his fists, and walked out of the living room.

This guy must have a ghost in his heart!

Qiuye didn't mind what he said in the slightest, and she didn't care, she walked into her room with the waste bucket in her arms.
