Astral Apostle Chapter 69: Quick

A group of people passed through the attached town, followed the team entering the city through the guards' interrogation, and entered the outer city of the capital.

Jason has been an empire hunter for several months and is qualified to enter the city. Zhou Jing has already explored the terrain of the capital.

With Jason's identity as guarantee, Zhou Jing entered the outer city smoothly.

But the houses are too dense, turning into the fork road from both sides of the street, it is the lanes separated by each house, like a spider web, the route is complicated, crowded, like the capillaries of the whole city.

The landmark buildings in the outer city are several guard castles, and some soldiers are permanently stationed as sheriffs to control the city. The Royal Capital is essentially a fortress city. With the guard castle as the boundary, the outer city is divided into several urban areas. To a certain extent, they are distinguished by functionality, but they can all guarantee the normal life of ordinary people.

Zhou Jing led Jason through the streets and alleys, through the messy shantytowns, across the bustling market area, and soon came to an urban area where a large number of artisans live...the proper name is the stove area.

Every urban area has complete infrastructure, such as pharmacies, blacksmith shops, tailor shops, etc., which are convenient for residents to live nearby. However, many of the store managers of these shops are ordinary craftsmen in the furnace area. They travel across the city to work every morning. Return home to rest at night.

High-quality products can only be bought in the Huolu District, so many wealthy residents of the capital prefer to travel across the city to buy them, while the wish of many ordinary residents is to move to the Huolu District...Unfortunately, they can't afford them house.

After all, people are divided into groups. These craftsmen are the intellectual class of the world of alien beasts. People who live in Huolu District are generally high-income groups, and there are many senior craftsmen who work for the Imperial Workshop here, so the law and order good.

Street runners in shantytowns and market areas, wandering freely in the furnace area, will be driven away by the sheriff.

Zhou Jing walked around the Huolu District for a while, and was noticed by the security officer patrolling the street, and was interrogated.

The third apostle, Bill, was an "outsider" who arrived in the capital for the first time. He could not come to the furnace area at will, but Jason, a serious imperial hunter, threw a stick to the side, and the sheriff allowed the two of them Strolling, just warned not to get close to the inner wall.

"It's better to be Jason now."

Zhou Jing watched the magistrate leave, and couldn't help but glance at the city center.

The high inner wall cuts off the line of sight, and only the towering palace castle can be vaguely seen.

Inside is the inner city, the power core of the Terra Empire. The inner wall is heavily guarded. In addition to the garrison, there are also many royal city guards sitting on sections of the city wall—all blood warriors.

It is quite difficult to sneak in quietly.

"Speaking of which, why did I subconsciously think of sneaking in when I saw a heavily guarded place? I'm afraid it's not the sequelae of Baiyuan City..."

Zhou Jing calmed down, searched for a while on the road, found a pharmacy, and walked in immediately.

After a while, he came out again. The pharmacist in this store already had quite a few apprentices, and he had no plans to hire any more.

Trying one store after another along the street, none of them are looking for apprentices. The king is not like a small place. There are too many hunters.

Zhou Jing tried patiently and visited the thirteenth house before there was any change.

This is a small pharmacy, the shelves are deserted, only the labels and prices of the medicines are placed in obvious places, but there is no bottle of medicine in sight.

There is only a middle-aged man in the room, with a lean figure, wearing a long robe and a long beard, sitting behind the counter reading a book.

Hearing someone come in, the middle-aged man raised his eyes slowly, and said unhurriedly: "Just take a look, what do you want to buy?"

"Are pharmacist apprentices recruited here?" Zhou Jing cut to the chase.

The middle-aged man looked Zhou Jing up and down, his eyes lit up: "He's from out of town? Are you rich?"

Hearing this, Zhou Jing was refreshed, took out a heavy money bag and shook it, the silver coins shook and collided, making a pleasant sound.

The middle-aged man's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic, stroked his long beard and smiled:

"It's easy to do if you have money. I'm a pharmacist. You can call me Mali. As long as you give me money, you can be my apprentice..."

Zhou Jing blinked.

Normal craftsmen select apprentices, and they usually have to examine character and ability to see if the other party has talent in this area, and they must be responsible to them. But this pharmacist only cares about money and never refuses anyone who comes, which seems unreliable.

However, it doesn't matter to him, as long as he can teach him the basics, he will be able to make quick progress with his own learning advantages.

At this time, Jason also walked in, walking like a tiger, his strong body seemed to have an aura of its own.

When Mali saw Jason's imperial hunter outfit, his face changed slightly, and he asked, "Is this hunter your friend?"

"Yes, I saved him once..."

Zhou Jing recounted his previous remarks, and introduced himself by the way.

"Okay, I understand." Mali seemed a little unhappy, and his tone was a little lighter, and said: "I want to be my apprentice, every ten days, fifty silver coins."

Zhou Jing was taken aback.

Hey guy, why don't you grab the money?

Fifty silver coins, a farmer's family may not be able to earn a year of farming, even for high-income hunters, it is a sum that cannot be ignored, and it is more than enough to buy a set of equipment... And this is only for ten days The price of an apprentice? !

Who would buy it for ordinary people! Knowledge in this world is very expensive, but it is not enough to reach this point, otherwise there would be so many pharmacists.

Zhou Jing was quite skeptical. This person made things difficult for Jason because of Jason's existence. This was the first time he encountered a difficult situation as a hunter.

Because I know a high-income friend, so you want to kill him? No, this is unreasonable, I can go to other pharmacists to learn.

If it wasn't for personal feelings... Could it be that this person wanted to scare him away with a high price?

Thinking of Mali's attitude before and after Jason's appearance...

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and suddenly understood what was going on.

Wonderful, I chose this place!

"It's a bit expensive, can it be cheaper, how about twenty silver coins?"

"No, fifty is fifty." Mali didn't change his words.

Zhou Jing insisted on negotiating the price, and after a lot of talking, he finally got the price down to ten days and forty silver coins, and Mali agreed with a sulky face.

"Forty is forty, just pay and learn." Mali glanced at Jason, who had a strong aura, and his face twitched slightly.

"Then I paid the money, you will teach me well? This is a lot of money!" Zhou Jing made a hesitant look and rubbed his hands together.

Mali's face became even more stinky, and he said angrily: "Of course!"

Seeing this, Zhou Jing accepted the ridicule.

Bargaining is just deliberately playing the characteristics of an apostle, he doesn't really care about money.

Of course the current tuition fees are still too expensive, but he doesn't want to waste time asking each one. Since he can learn here, he will go here.

Mali's change of attitude is either to squeeze the apprentices, or to cut corners in teaching, to squeeze out other people's wallets, and to bully helpless outsiders. He is not a good person.

But the existence of Jason is a guarantee. If this person doesn't teach well and still charges so much money, there will be someone behind him!

There is no consumer protection association in this world. Only those with power or fist can protect their own rights and interests.

That's why Mali's attitude is different.

——There are outsiders with backing, so it's not easy to cheat!

But Zhou Jing felt that this place was suitable for him. Compared with finding a conscientious teacher, he now prefers money transactions.

I just find a place to learn the basics, and it won't take long to complete the start.

In this way, both money and goods will be settled, and the relationship will be simple, and there is no need to owe favors like facing Baron.

Moreover, he is not a good person, and he has no psychological pressure to do anything.

After finalizing the agreement, Zhou Jing first paid for ten days, then rented a house nearby at a high price, and then immediately returned to the pharmacy, demanding to start studying immediately.

Just received the money, and was intimidated by Jason, Ma Li didn't dare to take a night's rest to shirk until the next day as usual, so he could only take out two rough books with a stinky face, which are Herbal Medicine Illustrated Book And the basics of pharmacy, start teaching.

[Learning [Herbal Knowledge]]

[Practice acceleration cost: 20 astral points]

[Studying【Pharmacy】]

[Practice acceleration cost: 50 star points]

"All on."

Without any hesitation, Zhou Jing listened attentively to Mali's explanation of medicine knowledge, and once again entered a learning state that was more efficient than heart flow.

…

One month flies by.

In front of the pharmacy counter behind the pharmacy, Zhou Jing was busy, while Ma Li watched from the side.

Zhou Jing handled all kinds of medicinal materials skillfully, using various utensils to prepare the medicinal herbs into the required form, boiled and blended them in sequence, and finally poured the formed medicinal liquid into the bottle.

The potion of Huang Chengcheng, like beer, is still bubbling and bubbling.

"Let's try."

Zhou Jing kicked Little Black One lying at his feet, squeezed its mouth open forcefully, and poured all the potion into it.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Little Hei No. 1 struggled violently, but it was useless.

After entering the potion, after a while, Xiao Heihao, who was originally sick, suddenly became full of energy, frisky, full of fun in the room, and became high.

In the past month, it has been Zhou Jing's main drug test subject. After drinking countless kinds of potions, the previous injuries have already healed. Now the main problem is endocrine disorders.

Zhou Jing doesn't have high demands on it, as long as he lives, he has been concentrating on studying pharmacy, and has not cared about taming animals for the time being.

It was just a coincidence that he found that the cultivation level of the black-spotted hyena that drank a lot of potions had actually increased.

After the succession of fighting beast taming, the drug addicting beast taming was developed... Although the style of painting is crooked, but one thing to say, it is really easy to use.

"It seems that the energy potion works well this time."

Zhou Jing observed the subject with a satisfied smile.

The corner of Mali's mouth twitched, his expression tangled and complicated.

This person...how did he learn so quickly?

Under normal circumstances, when he taught apprentices, he would keep his secrets and teach perfunctorily, but because of Jason, Mali didn't plan to be too deceitful this time.

Kemo Yanggong is still fine, Ma Li deliberately slowed down the teaching progress, intending to make Zhou Jing spend more money.

Even if you can't cheat people, the deliberately high tuition fees this time is still very good. Ma Li didn't expect that people would really be willing to be taken advantage of, so he could earn more if he wanted to.

However, he didn't expect that he deliberately slowed down, and he learned so fast, and the progress almost changed every day!

Mali learned the basics for three months before he really made the first bottle of effective potion... But this foreigner named Bill got started after only 20 days of learning.

It took another ten days to produce a potion with a quality comparable to his.

Looking at the high-efficiency potion remaining in the pot, Ma Li felt pantothenic acid in his stomach, and his heart was full of regret.

If I knew this person learned so quickly, I should have doubled the price at that time, and I lost money!

Fortunately... I only taught this person two kinds of potion formulas, which are the most popular medicine for healing and energy potion, and nothing else.

At this moment, Zhou Jing turned to look at Mali, and asked with a smile, "How is my potion doing this time, can I learn a new formula?"

Mali came back to his senses and coughed: "Yes, the progress is very fast. I taught it well, but you need to practice more. It is too early for you to learn new formulas."

After finishing speaking, Mali was afraid that Zhou Jing would continue to question him, so he hurried out of the room with a stinky face.

Zhou Jing looked at his back and pouted playfully.

He has already noticed that this person is a foreigner, but before the practice of acceleration, as long as he gets started, he will be super fast when he learns by himself.

Besides, pharmacy is not like those abilities that require physical exercise. Most of it is mental work. The proficiency is improved very quickly, and it also has the bonus of its own talent and aptitude.

In just one month, [Herb Knowledge] and [Pharmacy] have both climbed to the level of Lv4 proficiency, no less than Mali.

This person is just an ordinary pharmacist, a person who goes out of his way to deceive outsiders, so his level is naturally not too high.

One month later~IndoMTL.com~Mali only taught two potion formulas, and did not teach him the other formulas he mastered, just like warding off thieves, he clearly wanted to use this method to earn more money for him.

Of course, it is also possible that they are afraid that the apprentices of the church will starve to death of the master. Not all industries have the custom of being enthusiastic about educating newcomers.

"Think beautifully."

Zhou Jing pouted secretly.

If it is normal teaching, the tuition fee will be paid, but if it is clear that it is cheating, then I don't want to continue to be taken advantage of, and I can save some time.

"Apart from recipes, Mali has nothing else to teach me... It seems that some barbaric primitive accumulation is coming."

Zhou Jing rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Speaking of which, the greedy apostle should not obediently pay the money.

Sure enough, there is no difficulty in synchronizing... It's really accurate!
