Chapter 11 Alchemist

In a huge hall.

Different from the Zhuangzi where the Chen family lived before, although this place looks quite big, the people inside are very sparse.

How sparse is it?

It was so sparse that Chen Changming walked all the way to the main hall, so he didn't see half a figure.

Walking along the road in this large hall, looking at the hall without a single figure around it, which looked like a dead place, Chen Changming couldn't help but a thought flashed in his mind.

In such a big place, few people live there, so wouldn't the owner be bored?

What if a thief breaks in in the middle of the night?

He flashed this idea inexplicably, and then walked inside.

A faint scent of medicine came from the front. It looked like someone was decocting medicine inside?

Chen Changming immediately lifted his spirits.

If someone decocts the medicine, it means that there is definitely a living person in it.

So he took two steps forward.

"This, Junior Brother"

A voice came from the front, and the voice seemed hesitant.

Chen Changming looked down, and saw a small figure standing on the side.

The figure as a whole is a bit weird, it looks similar to a normal woman, but its stature is much shorter, like a five or six-year-old child, with a very short stature.

However, if one excludes her abnormally short stature and only looks at her face, one will find that the woman in front of her is actually quite good-looking. Although she is not so stunning, she is also considered pretty, but her figure is too deformed.

"This senior sister."

Chen Changming lowered his body and did not show any abnormality because of the strange appearance of the woman in front of him. He just had a calm face, bowed slightly, and bowed down.

"Your Majesty, Chen Changming, came here on the order of my uncle Chen Yiming, and I hope to be taught."

With a calm face, he introduced himself.

"you"

The woman bit her lip and looked at Chen Changming in front of her: "Don't you think I'm strange?"

She said in a strange way, and asked Chen Changming for a long time, but she still asked this question: "There are still many people who came here before, but after seeing me, they seem to be a little bit."

Chen Changming shook his head: "The body, hair and skin, what the parents can look like, are all given by God, there is nothing to be surprised about."

"Contact plus one"

The familiar handwriting appeared in front of my eyes.

"You're quite interesting."

The woman smiled: "My name is Chen Qingyi, you can call me Qingyi."

"Now come with me to see the master."

She looked at Chen Changming and smiled, nodded to him, and then led Chen Changming to the side.

Not long after, they walked around the side halls and came to a place.

A spacious room.

The spaciousness looks very spacious, and there are alchemy furnaces all around, with flames burning inside.

The surrounding area was steaming, and the strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire room.

The medicinal fragrance that Chen Changming smelled outside was obviously coming from here.

In the room, an old man was standing there.

"People have come."

Hearing footsteps from outside the door, the old man turned around, looked at Chen Changming who walked in and smiled: "It looks like this, you and Qingyi get along pretty well."

"Sit down first."

He waved at Chen Changming, signaling him to sit down here, and then ignored him, just sitting here alone, fiddling with his pill furnace, looking very focused.

Looking at the old man's appearance, Chen Changming also sat down obediently, watching his movements here quietly.

"Master, the old man has always been like this, as long as he starts to get busy, he won't worry about other things."

On the side, Chen Qingyi kindly reminded: "You just happened to be busy with the master, and I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Changming smiled, and nodded to Chen Qingyi: "Senior Sister Qingyi, go get busy first, I'll just wait here alone."

"good."

Chen Qingyi nodded, turned around and glanced at the old man on the side, shook her head, then turned and left.

After she left, Chen Changming waited here alone.

The old man on the side was still busy there, watching his pill furnace all the time, adding some ingredients from time to time, looking very focused and serious.

Looking at it like this, it is estimated that it will be busy for a while.

But Chen Changming was not in a hurry.

After two lifetimes, he is not a child after all, so he still has some patience.

Furthermore, the scene in front of him was clearly a time to test his patience, not to mention that his patience was not bad, even if he really couldn't bear it, he had to hold it back.

In this way, several hours passed.

When he was bored, Chen Changming was also seriously looking at the appearance of the old man in front of him, as well as his movements.

The old man in front of him looked very old, his face was full of wrinkles, and the black robe he was wearing looked a bit worn out, and he didn't know whether he had been wearing it for a long time or he hadn't bathed for a long time.

Chen Changming felt that it was probably the latter.

Other than his face being tense all the time and his attitude very serious, the old man in front of him looked very ordinary, nothing out of the ordinary.

But to be able to stay in this place and occupy such a large area alone, it shows that the old man in front of him is by no means ordinary, and he is by no means an ordinary person.

Moreover, Chen Changming also noticed the pill furnaces around them, and the bottles of pills in them.

Pills, this is an extremely valuable item, and it is a hard currency that is worth more than gold.

The bottle of body nourishing pill that Chen Ziling gave Chen Changming before was still well put by him, and he was not willing to eat it at all.

And looking at the appearance of the old man in front of him, he seems to be making alchemy?

This is very remarkable.

A living alchemist, this is a very honorable person, in the entire Chen family, even the head of the Chen family should respect him and dare not neglect him in the slightest.

This is a bit of a surprise.

Originally, Chen Changming just thought that it would be enough for him to find some ordinary doctor to learn some medical skills so that he could get in touch with the wounded, but he didn't expect Chen Yiming to give him such a big gift directly.

However, this also fits his impression of Chen Yiming.

Judging from Chen Yiming's love for Chen Changming since he was a child, even if Chen Changming were to study medicine, he would definitely be given the best conditions. How could he be handed over to a doctor casually?

But even so, this surprise is really too big.

In the same place, while waiting, time slowly passed.

In the pill furnace in front of him, the pill fire was slowly extinguished, and the movement of the old man in front of him also slowly stopped.

"Patience is good."

The old man got up and looked at Chen Changming in front of him, his face still looked so serious, looking at Chen Changming in front of him, with some scrutiny in his eyes.

"After waiting for so long, are you tired of waiting?"

"fine."

Chen Changming smiled: "Although it's a bit boring, it's interesting to see you playing with the pill furnace."

"Just find it interesting."

The old man nodded: "In our line of work, it is inevitable to face the alchemy furnace day and night. Sometimes one alchemy lasts for several days and nights. If you are not patient enough, it is better to give up as soon as possible."

He said so first, and then continued: "Is Chen Yiming your uncle?"

"Yes." Chen Changming nodded.

"He said a lot of good things about you."

The old man nodded, and when he mentioned Chen Yiming, his face became a little disdainful: "What can you say that you are talented, alert, and dedicated to your duties? In short, I have told him all the good things."

He seemed to poke his nose at this, and said with some disdain: "It's not annoying for him to say these words, but it's also annoying to hear them all the time."

"Over the years, there are countless people who want to marry this old man, which one is not so boastful?"

Chen Changming's expression remained unchanged, looking at the old man in front of him at this moment, he didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to laugh awkwardly.

"However, judging from the current situation, it is still unknown how talented you are, but your character is still passable."

He looked at Chen Changming in front of him, and nodded with some satisfaction: "Over the years, countless people have come here to ask me to accept disciples, and some of them are no less powerful than your uncle, but I refused them all, but this time I agreed. Your uncle, do you know why?"

"I don't know."

Chen Changming shook his head.

"When you treated the wounded that day, the old man was by the side."

The old man opened his mouth lightly, and explained the reason: "The old man heard everything you said that day, so I wanted to give you a chance."

"Besides, Qingyi has been special since she was a child, and she can feel other people's thoughts."

"When you saw Qingyi just now, if you had bad thoughts in your heart and made her angry, she wouldn't have brought you here."

"I see."

Chen Changming was taken aback for a moment, and at the same time he was a little stunned, but also a little speechless.

A good apprenticeship is like passing five levels and breaking through six generals.

"But since Qingyi brought you in, then everything is easy to talk about."

In front of him, the old man looked at Chen Changming, and finally said with a smile: "From tomorrow onwards, you will stay here and learn medical skills as your teacher."

"yes."

Chen Changming collected himself, nodded obediently, and looked like an obedient baby.

Afterwards, he also knew the name of the old man in front of him, surnamed Jin and named Ji.

It can be seen from the name that this is not the Chen family.

But this is not surprising.

Although the Chen family is dominated by members of the Chen clan, it is not without other surnames.

In addition to Jin Ji in front of him, Chen Changming also knew that several elders who were not inferior to Chen Yiming were also outsiders.

These are often people from the outside world, or even from other countries. Because of their high martial arts skills and superb skills, they are recruited and hired as Chen Jiakeqing.

Not only the Chen family has it, but also several other martial arts families.

Just worshiping Jinji as a master, Chen Changming didn't start alchemy immediately, nor did he learn other things, but started his own journey of endorsement.

In Jin Ji's words, he doesn't understand anything now, he understands nine of them, and knows nothing.

Healing a disease is afraid of killing a person, making alchemy is afraid of blowing up the alchemy furnace, so whatever you do is not good, let's just endorse it honestly.

Wait until you finish memorizing that book of medicine, and then think about other things.

Thus, Chen Changming started his endorsement journey.
