Chapter 56 The Eve of Parting
In the quiet alchemy room, after Wen Xia left, only Chen Changming and Jin Ji were left in this place.
Standing in the alchemy room, looking at Chen Changming in front of him, Jin Ji sighed softly, and then said: "Changming."
"Master is leaving"
After finishing the words, Chen Changming subconsciously raised his head, looked at Jin Ji in front of him, and couldn't help being stunned.
"Time flies so fast."
Looking at Chen Changming, Jin Ji sighed softly: "Before I knew it, it has been more than half a year since you came to me, Changming."
"During the past six months, you have done very well."
He smiled softly, with a complex expression on his face, and patted Chen Changming's shoulder: "I thought, Master, I could continue to accompany you for a few more years, and leave after you get on the right track."
"But now it seems that it will not work."
"Did the uncle ask you to leave, master?" Chen Changming was silent for a while before speaking.
"Not because of him."
Jin Ji shook his head: "Because of some other things, I have to leave here."
"Leaving this time, if there is no accident in the future, I will not come back again."
He said so, with a sigh in his expression: "After I leave, that girl Qingyi will leave with me, and you will be the only one left in this place."
I'm the only one left?
Chen Changming couldn't help raising his head, looking at Jin Ji with some doubts.
"Are you thinking, why didn't my teacher take you away with me?"
Looking at Chen Changming's reaction, Jin Ji smiled: "Actually, before that, my teacher really wanted to take you away with me."
"Your talent in alchemy is something I have only seen in my life. It would be a pity to delay in this small place."
"It was only later that I changed my mind as a teacher."
He sighed softly: "You have amazing power and the talent to be close to the immortal, this is the greatest good thing."
"If you just leave with me and go to the sect where I am, it will only limit your future in the end."
Hearing this, the corner of Chen Changming's mouth twitched?
again?
It is still uncertain whether he has the talent to be close to the immortal, you are so sure?
"The sect I belong to is suitable for ordinary people like me to go there, but for people like you who have the qualifications of being a near-immortal, it is a shackle and bondage, which can only make you feel uncomfortable."
"So this time, the teacher is not going to take you away with me."
Jin Ji patted Chen Changming on the shoulder, his face full of exclamation and concern.
Before Chen Changming had time to say anything, he took out something from his pocket.
It was a very simple-looking animal skin map, and a small alchemy pot.
"This map was obtained by accident when I was young, and it took a lot of things."
Holding the animal skin map in his hand, Jin Ji had some sighs and nostalgia on his face: "This world is so big that no one can imagine how big it is."
"However, the sages explored again and again, and finally explored a lot of regions."
"What is recorded on this map is the detailed topography of several nearby large domains, as well as the places where there are near-immortal sects."
"You search for the places recorded on this map. As long as you find the Immortals who exist in those places, and with your talent, you will definitely be able to worship them and become a real Immortal."
With anticipation on his face, he solemnly handed over the map in Chen Changming's hands, with a serious and solemn attitude.
"To tell you the truth, Chang Ming, what I wanted most when I was young was to become a near-immortal."
Looking at Chen Changming, he smiled: "It's just that the world is cruel. I don't have this life. No matter how hard I try, I can't do it."
"But Changming, you are different."
"You are still young and have great talent. In the future, you will definitely be able to take the place of your teacher and become a true near-immortal person, to have a glimpse of the true supreme alchemy."
He looked at Chen Changming with solemnity and expectation on his face.
Chen Changming opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but looked at Jin Ji and the anticipation on his face, and in the end he didn't say anything, but silently took the map in Jin Ji's hand.
"This bottle is the Yuanlu Pill refined for the teacher."
Seeing that Chen Changming took the map, Jin Ji showed a smile on his face, and then put another thing in his hand: "This is a elixir made from the poisonous beast before, and it has been refined for eight days. The Chen family and I each take four, and here are three of them."
"You and I have been a master and apprentice. Now that the teacher is about to leave, these three yuan dew pills can be regarded as the last gift from the teacher to you."
He put the alchemy pot in Chen Changming's hand, and said with a smile.
"master."
Standing at the same place, looking at the small pill pot in his hand, Chen Changming felt that his hand was heavy. At this moment, he didn't know what to say, he couldn't speak at all.
"alright."
Looking at Chen Changming's appearance, Jin Ji said with a smile: "A dignified man, with such an appearance, how decent is he?"
"Besides, it's not like I'm going to leave immediately as a teacher. I need to prepare for a while."
Standing there, he said, "Taking this time, I will give you a few last lessons as a teacher."
"yes."
Chen Changming took a deep breath and saluted Jin Ji.
In the following time, Chen Changming's life became even busier.
After the conversation that day, Jin Ji put down other things in his hands and concentrated on teaching Chen Changming.
During this period of time, he did not continue to teach other alchemy formulas, but instead taught some pharmacology and alchemy.
According to Jin Ji, these things are the most basic and most important.
As long as you have learned these, even if no one teaches you, relying on your own exploration, with the pill formula, you will be able to find out the method of refining sooner or later.
But if the foundation is not firmly established, even if Dan Fang is in front of his eyes, he may not be able to understand it at all.
In this regard, Chen Changming expressed his understanding, and he did not relax in the slightest, and hurriedly studied.
During this period of time, he put down all his other things, including the medical center, and just focused on studying with Jin Ji, learning medicine and alchemy.
In this way, more than two months passed quickly.
One day, when Jin Ji smiled and asked Chen Qingyi to prepare a banquet, Chen Changming knew that Jin Ji would leave soon.
Jin Ji has always been a person who doesn't like to be noisy, so in the past, there were very few banquets held in the Hall of Medicine.
Even when Jin Ji usually eats, he seldom goes out of his alchemy room and won't be with other people.
So in the past, Chen Changming always had meals with Chen Qingyi.
But this time is an exception.
This unprecedented banquet, perhaps because he was about to leave soon, and these people would not be seen soon, Jin Ji invited many people to come up.
In addition to Jin Ji's old friend, Patriarch Chen Jing, Chen Yiming and the others were also in the party.
"If you hadn't saved me back then, there would be nothing wrong with me now."
At the banquet, Jin Ji looked at Chen Jing on the opposite side, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said with some sighs.
"It's all in the past."
Chen Jing shook his head, with nostalgia in his expression, and some sighs: "What happened back then is still like yesterday."
"It's just that time has passed so long without knowing it, and it has been twenty years now."
"Yes, twenty years."
Jin Ji also sighed with emotion on his face, and there was nostalgia in his expression.
The two of them were sitting in the center of the hall, drinking one cup after another.
The same is true for the others, drinking one cup at a time, the scene is very lively.
In this atmosphere, Chen Changming sat alone in a corner, sitting alone, looking a little silent.
In the main hall, his acquaintances from the Chen family basically drank in the center, and he didn't know the others, so it was somewhat embarrassing.
The hustle and bustle of the surrounding halls has basically nothing to do with him.
Sitting there, he raised his head and looked at another corner in the distance.
In the corner, Chen Qingyi was alone, sitting alone in that corner.
As if sensing Chen Changming's gaze, she raised her head, looked directly at Chen Changming, and smiled slightly at him.
Chen Changming also smiled, then thought for a while, raised the heavy wine glass, got up and walked forward.
"What are you thinking?"
He walked up to Chen Qingyi, looked at her and asked.
"I'm thinking"
Chen Qingyi raised her head, looking at the lively scene in front of her: "In the future, I probably won't be able to see the scene like today."
"After leaving with the master this time, if there is no accident, I will never come back here again."
She looked at the faces and figures around her, and said softly, "By that time, I probably will never see the people here again in my life."
This era is not Chen Changming's previous life.
In Chen Changming's previous life, even if people were not in the same place, as long as they had a mobile phone, they could still communicate.
There are even various means of transportation to choose from. If ordinary people want to, they can travel long distances in a short period of time to visit their relatives and friends.
In this era, a farewell is likely to be the last meeting in life.
Chen Changming also fell silent. At this moment, he didn't know what to say.
He knew in his heart that according to the current situation, what Chen Qingyi said would most likely become a reality.
"Brother."
Chen Qingyi turned around and looked at Chen Changming, with the same emotion in her eyes: "You said, after this time, will we have a chance to meet again in the future?"
"There should be."
Chen Changming was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "I know where you and the master are going. If I have free time in the future, I will go and have a look."
"Having said that, it's impossible to see him anytime like now."
Chen Qingyi nodded and sighed softly.
She looked at Chen Changming, and hesitated to speak.
But in the end, nothing was said.
At the lively banquet, the two just sat side by side.
The lively atmosphere around them has nothing to do with the two of them.
