Refuse To Bind The System, Meet God At The Corner

Alchemist!

Kushens' pupils shrank sharply, his brows furrowed into a ball, his face full of shock and disbelief.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Nalan Shu asked puzzledly.

He didn't understand why Cushens had such an expression.

"Alchemy has been lost for nearly ten thousand years. Where are there any alchemists now?" Kushens asked in a deep voice.

This question immediately confused Nalan Shu.

What, the alchemy of this world has long been lost?

But at this time, Nalan Shu suddenly remembered something: Most of his alchemy knowledge seemed to have been collected from sweeping ancient ruins and picking up rubbish in dungeons. It seemed that he didn't have any when he usually went to some kingdoms, tribes and other places. I've heard of such a thing as an "alchemist"...

No wonder the elf doctor doesn't show this look, that's why.

So Nalan Shu is probably the only "alchemist" in the world.

"Teacher, please believe me." Nalan Shu gritted his teeth and promised Kushens, "I am really an alchemist. I can make potions and other things."

It was true that he was an alchemist, but the man in front of him didn't seem to believe his words at all, and the eyes he looked at him began to become cold and disgusting. He must have regarded him as a bragging liar.

No one likes a liar. If he loses his job on the first day, he will have no shame in seeing Fina, the elf girl who has supported him for so long.

"...Okay." Kushensi pondered for a moment and handed Nalan Shu a piece of Aisha paper with some writing on it.

"This is a medicine list for treating cough and asthma. You can dispense the medicine according to it."

"There are medicinal materials, crucibles and other equipment in the back room. I'll take you there right now."

"If you are really an alchemist, then preparing a potion should be a simple matter, right?"

Nalan Shu, who took the medicine list, glanced at the medicinal materials on it, thought for a moment, and said to Kushens: "Teacher, I don't need those instruments."

"What?" Cushens's eyebrows almost stood up.

Nonsense, what kind of medicine can be prepared without instruments?

Now Cushens feels more and more that this human being is a liar.

"I only need medicinal materials, no instruments." Nalan Shu looked at Kushens's darkened face and said cautiously, "By the way, find me a more open place and a few bottles."

"……follow me."

In this way, Nalan Shu followed Kushens to the backyard.

After Kushens brought the medicinal materials to Nalan Shu, he stood aside and watched coldly.

He wanted to see how his new apprentice could make potions without equipment.

Nalan Shu fetched a bucket of water, took out a herb similar to dogtail grass from the medicinal materials, moistened it with water, and began to scribble on the ground.

After finishing the painting, he arranged the herbs and bottles, then stood in the middle, closed his eyes, made seals with his hands, and kept mumbling something that Kushens couldn't understand at all.

This human being...

Just when Kushens couldn't help scolding Nalan Shu anymore, a sudden change occurred!

The places under Nalan Shu's feet that had been painted by Nalan Shu suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light; when the light faded, a pattern made up of countless complex curves appeared on the ground.

Alchemical matrix!

Under the catalysis of an unknown force, those medicinal materials slowly melted into liquid, except for some useless impurity components, flowing along the lines of the matrix to the circle in the center, flowing slowly around the Nalan bundle.

Cushens looked at everything in front of him, grinning from ear to ear in surprise.

Is this...alchemy? !

Although alchemy has long been lost, as an elf with a long life, he has also heard some legends about this magic that is famous for its "miracles", turning stone into gold, refining magic potions, etc... …He’s heard all of this.

Now that I have seen with my own eyes that Nalan Shu can use alchemy, the previous contempt and disgust in my heart have long since been replaced by shock, joy and reverence.

As an immortal and apothecary, his biggest hobby is learning. How could he not be happy now that he has met a real alchemist who carries the lost knowledge?

The refining process lasted for seven minutes, and the bottle used to hold the potion was filled with the finished product. As the alchemy matrix dimmed and disappeared, the refining of the potion was completed.

Nalan Shu held up one of the bottles filled with "cough drops" and said hesitantly, "Teacher, it's ready."

It was the first time that he used alchemy to make medicine in reality. Nalan Shu couldn't guarantee how effective it would be, so he still felt a little weak.

it should be no problem?

Nalan Shu looked at Kushens who had a complicated expression after taking the potion, and secretly broke into a cold sweat.

"Come with me." Cushens didn't say much, turned around and walked into the back room.

Nalan Shu followed in obediently. After entering the room, Cushens went upstairs. After a while, he brought down a pot of a plant with yellow spots on its leaves and placed it on the counter.

"This is a plant used for medicinal purposes. If the medicine has the right effect, it will return to its original lush green leaves."

While introducing it to Nalan Shu, Kushens tilted the medicine bottle and dropped a drop of medicine into the soil of the basin.

Nalan Shu looked at the herb used to test the medicine with bated breath. He saw that it shook violently at first, then quickly withered and turned black from the top, and died in less than ten seconds. .

Nalan Shu's face turned green when he saw this scene.

Is this a cough medicine? This is poison!

At this moment, Nalan Shu really felt like dying.

Cushens looked at the dead herb solemnly without saying a word.

"Teacher, I..."

Nalan Shu opened his mouth to explain something, but he opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't know what to explain.

The effect of the medicine is right here, and there seems to be nothing left to explain.

He should be considered the first person in history to be able to refine cough medicine into poison.

Just when Nalan Shu was about to pack up and leave, the herb trembled again and suddenly came back to life from the bottom. Finally, it sprouted green and regained its vitality, and all the yellow spots on the leaves disappeared.

"Oh, sure enough, the medicine is so effective. It seems that we need to add some auxiliary herbs to make it milder. Otherwise, little Annie may not be able to bear it..."

As if he had expected this, Kushens murmured to himself and looked at the green test herb, his brows widened.

Nalan Shu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that he should have passed the test now, right?

"You are an alchemist - I agree with this." Kushensi nodded to Nalan Shu.

Nalan's anxious heart finally fell.

Just when he wanted to thank this cheap teacher, Cushens' next words almost caused a brain hemorrhage: "But I can no longer accept you as an apprentice."

"I...you..."

Just when Nalan Shu was about to show the "quintessence of the country" to the elf pharmacist, Kushensi knelt down in front of him with a plop, hugged his legs, and his fair and handsome face was full of expressions. Fanaticism and adoration.

"Master, please give me the most profound teachings! I am willing to be your student and serve you all my life!"
