Chapter 76
After searching for a while among the ruins around, Chen Changming finally confirmed his guess.
"Santa essential technique."
Looking at the dusty iron book in his hand, Chen Changming read it carefully for a moment, and recognized the words on it.
This book of Santian Essential Techniques was found by him in the surrounding ruins. From the looks of it, it should be left behind when the owner of the ruins left.
The content recorded above is the cultivation method of Lingzhi.
As Chen Changming had expected, the place in front of him was indeed a spiritual land specially cultivated by someone to cultivate spiritual materials.
I just don't know why, that group of people left this place back then.
In the four weeks, Chen Changming searched carefully to make sure if anyone was still here.
There are some buildings in the surrounding ruins, and there are some furniture and other furnishings inside, but the really valuable things have long since disappeared, and the inside looks empty, as if no one has lived in it for a long time.
Chen Changming tried to ask Kutumu to ask about the giant beast, but the answer he finally got was that no one had come to this area for a long time.
How long it was, the giant beast couldn't say, only that it was a long time.
Even this giant beast that has occupied this place for an unknown number of years said so, presumably this place was really abandoned.
Chen Changming didn't know the reason why this place was abandoned, but it was undoubtedly an advantage for him.
That piece of land that has been specially reclaimed is undoubtedly the best spiritual land.
Not to mention the various spiritual materials growing on it, just this piece of spiritual land is probably worth a lot.
Maybe there is only one place like this around the entire Jiufeng County.
Such a large piece of treasure land was discovered by Chen Changming, no matter what, it was a big advantage.
Standing in front of the spiritual land, Chen Changming lowered his head and thought for a while, then took out a few small pills from his bosom, and put them in front of the giant beast.
"I want to get these spiritual materials, how about these pills in exchange?"
He said tentatively.
Afterwards, he saw the giant beast in front of him nod his head, and then opened his mouth to inhale, directly sucking those small pills into his stomach.
really.
Looking at this scene, Chen Changming knew it clearly.
It seems that like ordinary people, even such strange beasts would like the pure aura contained in the pill.
That being the case, it shouldn't be a problem to use pills to improve contact.
Chen Changming was a little curious, like if these giant beasts could be projected, what kind of inheritance would they manifest.
"It's a pity that there is not enough time, otherwise the effect of practicing in this place will be very good."
Standing in place, feeling the aura around him, this thought flashed through Chen Changming's mind.
He gave it back.
At least two hours have passed since he left the village.
If it continues to delay, I am afraid that the members of the Chen family will be in a hurry everywhere.
After all, he is no longer a small person.
As the only alchemist of the Chen family, if he disappears for a long time, the consequences will be very serious.
So, after staying here for a while, taking Kutumu with him, Chen Changming left directly.
Compared with the time when he came, this time when he went back, Chen Changming walked directly with Kutumu in his arms, and his speed was much faster than before.
In less than half an hour, they returned to the village.
In the next few days, everything seemed very ordinary.
The only prelude was that the old patriarch of the mountain people brought Kutum to the door.
This was not for anything else, it was Chen Changming's promise to accept Kutumu as a student.
After a few days of planning, this came to the door.
When he came, he also brought a lot of presents, which were basically wild products, either prepared bacon, or some eggs.
The things are quite complicated, and it can be seen that many people should put them together.
Hand these things over to Chen Changming as a teacher's apprenticeship ceremony, and the ceremony of apprenticeship is simply completed.
Chen Changming has no objection to this. As for Kutumu, he still doesn't know what being a teacher means to him at the moment. With a confused look on his face, he is holding a piece of bacon and gnawing on it with great interest. Almost.
On the contrary, Chen Yiming and Chen Zide came back, and they were speechless after learning the news.
"Now you are running a medical clinic, and at the same time, you need to make alchemy and collect medicines, and you also need to recruit students. Are you busy?"
Looking at Chen Changming, Chen Zide was a little speechless: "Besides, if you want to recruit students, don't our Chen family have a lot of them? Why accept them here?"
The identity of alchemist is not simple.
In this world where some simple skills are considered to be handed down to the family, and to be passed on to men but not to women, the inheritance of an alchemist is the dream of countless people.
When Jin Ji was still there before, no matter how many people tried to serve him, they were all driven away.
Fortunately, Chen Changming took in a student as soon as he arrived, and he was still an outsider.
The old patriarch of the mountain people thought that Chen Changming was just a simple doctor, but he didn't expect that he won the lottery right away.
"Changming, tell uncle, what do you think?"
Chen Yiming also spoke, and asked with a serious face: "I just want to take an apprentice and teach me some medical skills, or do I have to teach other things as well?"
The so-called other, naturally refers to the alchemy.
Looking at it like this, it wasn't just Chen Zide, but Chen Yiming also seemed to be very concerned about the matter in front of him.
"It's not as complicated as uncle and you guys think."
Chen Changming smiled: "It just seemed like a good match, and I just agreed to it before, so I accepted it as a student."
"As for which step he will teach, it depends on his talent."
He looked at Chen Yiming and the others, and said angrily: "You don't think that alchemy can be learned easily, do you?"
"That's true."
Chen Yiming and the two nodded.
If the art of alchemy was so easy to talk about, alchemists wouldn't be so scarce.
How many people have walked this road for a lifetime, and in the end they couldn't even master the basic quenching.
Even if Chen Changming is really willing to teach, whether others can learn it is another matter.
But having said that, Chen Yiming has already decided to stuff Chen Changming with people after he goes back.
Chen Yiming wouldn't give up until he put seven or eight apprentices in his hands.
The status of alchemists is high, and the status of successful alchemists is even higher than that of pregnant warriors.
With Chen Changming's age and alchemy talent shown, he should be regarded as a treasure no matter where he is.
If you want to block people, you have to ask thousands of times, and you dare to force them?
But obviously, in Chen Yiming's place, Chen Changming's alchemist status was beyond his control.
Uncle Sairen, do you dare not accept?
He secretly made up his mind, but on the surface, Chen Yiming's expression was not the slightest, and he still looked calm: "For the rest of the world, you can just stay here."
"I don't need to go into the mountains with you?" Chen Changming was a little puzzled.
"No."
Chen Yiming shook his head: "There are some problems in the mountain."
"Zide and I went into the mountain before and found that there were traces of other people coming, most likely someone was hunting nearby."
"The mountain is no longer safe. Changming, you go into the mountain with us. If something happens, it will be difficult for us to take care of you."
He looked at Chen Changming, with a sneer on his face: "It's better for Zide and I to pack lightly and meet those little thieves."
"Is there any problem?"
Chen Changming frowned and asked.
"Don't worry, your uncle and I are not vegetarian."
Chen Yiming smiled: "It's just right, I haven't found anyone to do it for several months, so it's just an activity."
"Chang Ming, wait for us to leave, go down the mountain with the others decisively in a few days, just stay at home honestly, don't run around."
He looked at Chen Changming and said, telling him so.
Chen Changming sighed and nodded: "Okay."
This plan is actually good.
Taking advantage of the time when Chen Yiming and Chen Zide left, Chen Changming could also go to that spiritual land to practice with peace of mind.
Otherwise, with Chen Yiming and the two watching, it would not be convenient no matter how you move about.
Two days later, with a group of brothers, Chen Yiming and Chen Zide entered the mountain with a lot of equipment on them. It looked like they were going to stay in the mountain for a long time.
As for Chen Changming, he was left alone in the stockade.
"Chang Ming, are you leaving tomorrow?"
In front of the gate of the stockade, looking at Chen Changming, a skinny old man in a black robe spoke with a kind face.
The old man's name was Chen Changshan, and he was the second elder of the Chen family, equal to Chen Yiming in terms of status.
This time when Chen Yiming entered the mountain, he stayed behind, not for anything else, but to escort Chen Changming back.
"In a few days."
Chen Changming smiled: "The mountains and rivers near here are unique, and there are also dense medicinal herbs around here. I want to stay here for a while and appreciate it."
"That's fine."
Chen Changshan nodded. As his name suggests, his attitude was very kind.
Of course, this was the only way to deal with Chen Changming.
If you are facing other people, there is no room for bargaining in front of him.
After dealing with Chen Changshan, Chen Changming returned to his residence.
Kutumu was already waiting there.
Compared with before, his appearance has changed a lot now. The dirty clothes before were thrown away and replaced with a clean black gown.
Anyway, he was his student, and the previous appearance was too chilling.
If they were taken out, others might think that Chen Changming was abusing children.
Therefore, after formally establishing the relationship, Chen Changming changed all of Kutumu's outfits.
"master."
Seeing Chen Changming, Kutumu ran over happily, with an excited face: "Do you want to teach me medical skills?"
When he was speaking, his face looked a little hopeful, as if he was looking forward to the upcoming learning session.
Chen Changming looked at him sympathetically.
The little guy may not know it yet, but studying medicine is no fun.
A lot of pharmacopoeias are waiting for you to memorize.
However, the master-student relationship has just been established, and Chen Changming didn't have the heart to tell the young man this cruel fact. He just smiled: "No, the matter of studying medicine will start after we go down the mountain."
"As for now, let's go to Duoduo first."
