Just when everyone was confused, a white-haired old man flew directly into the hall from outside.
Such a familiar voice, where have I heard it before? But I can't remember it.
Duanmu Xi raised his head abruptly.
It's him
It was the white-haired old man who was snatching Lanze's beggar's chicken in the woods.
"Are you old boys trying to steal this elder's apprentice?"
Situ Kong walked up to the elders and raised his eyebrows proudly.
Listening to Situ Kong's questioning, the elders swallowed unconsciously.
Others may not know Situ Kong, but the elders have indeed met Situ Kong and know his reputation, so no one said anything.
A flash of interest flashed in Nalanxi's eyes.
It turns out that this is the apprentice candidate that this old guy likes.
Her vision is indeed unique enough to make the three elders of the academy rush to accept her as a disciple. This girl must have something special about her.
The old man in gray clothes felt his heart tightening after listening to Situ Kong's words, with a look of disappointment on his face.
It seems that he cannot accept this apprentice today.
Situ Kong ignored everyone's surprised looks, turned around, walked to Duanmu Xi, and said with a smile: "Girl, we meet again."
Duanmu Xi had to raise his head now.
When everyone saw Duanmu Xi's appearance clearly, they all took a breath.
What a nice view!
Is this an immortal descending to earth
How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world...
"senior."
Duanmu Xi nodded lightly, his distant look in stark contrast to Situ Kong's familiar look.
The words "Senior" made Situ Kong's smiling face instantly turn into one of grievance.
"Girl, call me master."
Is it easy for him to take on a disciple
She tried so hard to get old boy Nalanxi to open the hospital for enrollment, but was almost snatched away by these old boys. So far, this girl is still unwilling to accept him as her teacher.
Seeing Situ Kong's aggrieved look, Duanmu Xi couldn't help but frown slightly.
"What I want to learn is refining medicine."
Hearing this, Situ Kong immediately became happy.
"I'm the alchemist. If you don't believe me, just ask them."
After Situ Kong finished speaking, he pointed at the three elders on the high platform.
The three elders all lowered their heads, pretending not to hear what Situ Kong said.
Why did they not testify for Elder Situ when he came to snatch their apprentice
Nalanxi, on the other hand, walked up to Duanmuxi with a smile.
"This girl, she is indeed the alchemy elder specially invited by our Holy Gold Academy."
Situ Kong nodded while listening to Nalan Xi's words and looked at Duan Muxi expectantly.
When Duanmuxi heard the words "specially invited elder", an idea flashed in his mind.
Could it be
"Are you that Elder Situ?"
Situ Kong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
The originally silent crowd became noisy again.
Everyone has heard of Elder Situ's name to some extent.
It is rumored that he never accepts apprentices, but this time he actually begged this stunning girl to be his apprentice in such a low voice. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it to death.
Duanmu Xi's eyes flickered.
He was really Elder Situ. If she had known that he was a Xuan-level alchemist, why would she go to such trouble to enter the Holy Gold Academy
Situ Kong looked anxiously at Duanmu Xi, who was bowing his head in thought.
"Don't think about it, hurry up and become a disciple."
Duanmuxi raised his head and took a serious look at Situ Kong.
For Xiaoying's sake, it seems that I must worship this master.
"Disciple pays homage to master."
Duan Muxi knelt down on one knee in front of Situ Kong and kowtowed respectfully.
"My good disciple, get up quickly."
When Situ Kong saw Duan Muxi solemnly becoming his disciple, his eyes filled with excitement and he quickly helped Duan Muxi up.
"Haha... Old man, I finally have an apprentice."
He must bring his good disciple back to the Alchemist Guild to make those old boys envious and jealous.
… Everyone was speechless for a while.
Isn’t it easy for you, old man, to take on a disciple? It must be said so pitifully.
"Okay, now that this girl has been accepted as an entry-level disciple by Elder Situ, then Elder Mei, Elder Yuan, and Elder Xie should choose another disciple."
Elder Mei glanced down again and said coldly.
"I just like that girl."
As soon as Situ Kong heard this, he quickly said to Nalan Xi: "Old Nalan, you guys are busy first. I will take my good disciple out for a walk first."
After saying that, without waiting for Nalanxi to speak, he directly pulled Duanmuxi out of the hall.
These old boys are still thinking about his young apprentice, so he'd better retreat quickly.
... Everyone was speechless again. Elder Situ slipped away really fast.
Situ Kong took Duanmu Xi out of the hall and walked towards the gate of Shengjin Academy.
"Girl, what's your name?"
The disciple accepted it, but he still didn’t know the name of his good disciple.
"Duanmu Xi."
By the way, her surname should be Duanmu, but he had forgotten that she was the princess of the Suzaku Kingdom.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the gate of Shengjin Academy.
Duan Muxi saw Xuanyuan Mo and Feng Wu at a glance.
"Xi'er."
"Your Highness."
The two of them only had Duan Muxi in their eyes and completely ignored Situ Kong who was behind Duanmuxi.
"How is it? Has Your Highness seen that Elder Situ?"
"Girl, do you want to see me?"
Situ Kong was a little surprised when he heard Feng Wu's words from behind.
Xuanyuan Mo and Feng Wu heard the sound and finally noticed Situ Kong.
"Is it you? The old man who stole the chicken?"
Feng Wu screamed.
Hearing Feng Wu's words, Duan Muxi immediately frowned and said coldly: "Feng Wu, don't be unreasonable, he is already my master."
Satisfaction flashed in Situ Kong's eyes.
Respecting teachers is not bad.
… Wasn’t it true that His Highness was unwilling
How come you recognized him as your master after entering Shengjin Academy
"yes."
Although she didn't understand, Feng Wu still bowed in response.
Xuanyuan Mo's eyes flickered, "Let's go back to the inn first."
Room No. 7, Tianzi.
"Master, please sit down."
Duanmuxi greeted Situ Kong and poured tea for him.
"Xi'er, is this Elder Situ?"
"right."
Duan Muxi nodded slightly and introduced Xuanyuan Mo and Feng Wu.
"This is Elder Situ, now my master."
Then he introduced to Situ Kong: "This is my friend Xuanyuan Mo, and this is my guard Feng Wu."
Xuanyuan Mo raised his hands to Situ Kong.
"Senior Situ, you are polite."
It turns out that this old man is Elder Situ. No wonder His Highness would recognize him as his master.
When Feng Wu saw this, he quickly stepped forward to salute Situ Kong.
"Elder Situ, I have offended many of my subordinates just now. Please forgive me, Elder Situ."
"No problem." Situ waved his empty sleeve and said calmly.
"Girl, are you looking for me?"
Situ Kong turned to look at Duan Muxi. He seemed to have heard such a sentence at the gate of Shengjin Academy just now.
"Yes." Duan Muxi nodded, "Originally, I entered Shengjin Academy because I wanted to become your teacher and learn the art of refining medicine from you."
"Why is this girl so determined to learn the art of refining medicine?"
With this girl's indifferent temperament, she shouldn't.
Duanmu Xi's eyes flickered.
"Master, does he know about the Huiyuan Pill?"
"The second-grade heavenly elixir Huiyuan Dan?"
Situ Kong was a little surprised. His little apprentice was not simple. How could ordinary people know about heaven-level elixirs
"Girl, you ask this..."
Duan Muxi felt happy when he heard this. It seemed that the master knew about Yuan Dan this time.
"Master, the apprentice needs to return to Yuandan to save his relatives."
So that's it, Situ Kong nodded in realization.
"Master, do you know what medicinal materials are needed to refine the Huiyuan Pill?"
Duan Muxi looked at Situ Kong expectantly.
Situ Kong nodded, "I have read in medical books that I have read that refining the Huiyuan Pill requires seven materials with different attributes: the wood-attribute soul-nurturing grass, the wind-attribute purple fruit, the thunder-attribute Lei Qingzhi, the fire-attribute The blood spiritual ginseng, the water-attribute thousand-year water lily, the ice-attribute ten-thousand-year ice, and finally the spiritual core of a seventh-level earth-attribute divine beast must be added.”
Duanmuxi frowned. She had never heard of these materials.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Master, do you know where these medicinal materials can be found?"
Situ Kong frowned, "My master only knows that Lei Qingzhi is in the Alchemist Guild, and the other masters only know roughly."
Duanmu Xi's eyes flickered, that mysterious Alchemist Guild
"Master, have you been to the Alchemist Guild?"
Situ Kong's lips curled up slightly, "Girl, if you want to join the Alchemist Guild, I can take you in right now."
… Didn’t you say that the Alchemist Guild is very mysterious
Why does it seem like I can come in and out at any time when I get to the master's place
"It's just..." Situ Kong suddenly said again.
"Just what?"
Duanmu Xi's heart suddenly lifted.
"It's just that even if you join the Alchemist Guild, you can't get Lei Qingzhi."
Even if he is the great elder of the Alchemist Guild, he cannot just receive the high-end medicinal materials from the Alchemist Guild.
Duanmuxi frowned. He couldn't get the medicinal materials even after entering the Alchemist Guild. So what should he do
Seeing Duanmu Xi's disappointed face, Situ Kong couldn't bear it.
"But it's not completely impossible."
"Master, is there anything you can do?"
Duanmuxi raised his head with an expectant look on his face.
Situ Kong stroked his beard.
"Participate in the Alchemist Guild's alchemy competition. If you win the competition, you can make a request to the Alchemist Guild. As long as the request is not too excessive, the Alchemist Guild will usually satisfy it."
… What kind of solution is this
Duanmu Xi was slightly disappointed. He was not an alchemist at all yet, so how could he win in a competition with people from the Alchemist Guild
Situ Kong saw Duan Muxi's little face slumped again and said with a smile: "Girl, do you have no confidence in me, master, or do you have no confidence in yourself?"
Hearing Situ Keng's words, Duan Muxi shook his head.
"I wonder when the Alchemist Guild's competition will start?"
"You are too late to participate in this year's competition. Wait until your alchemy skills are high next year before participating, because each alchemist can only participate in the alchemist's guild's alchemy competition once."
Back then, he didn't participate in the medicine refining competition until he reached the Xuan level.
next year
Duanmuxi raised his eyebrows, the time was not short.
"Then master, start teaching me how to make medicine from tomorrow."
"well."
When Situ Kong heard that Duan Muxi wanted to learn how to make medicine tomorrow, he nodded happily.
