Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 52: Emergency cases
He wanted to say of course, but he couldn't talk about it for a while.
Xia Fan asked himself, his original intention has not changed, but to this day, some unclear things are stuck in front of the goal.
For some reason, the old lady was so happy to thank him.
"I think it's better for you to think less about this kind of problem." Shangguan Cai rushed over and said, "There is a reason for the arrangement of the Privy Council. You may have your ideas, but why should it listen to you? Can you still let it look at you with straight eyes?"
"Sister Shangguan, what are you talking about?" Luo Youer asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I lived in Gyeonggi before, and I have seen too many people who don't know the heights of the earth. I have an idea, but I don't have the power to realize it. In the end, it only increased my troubles." She shrugged, "In fact, I too , So it was assigned to Shenzhou."
"I don't understand what you mean..." Xia Fan shook his head.
"Actually you understand, but you just don't want to admit it. In a more layman way, it is to recognize the reality and avoid competing with the Privy Council." Shangguan Cai walked forward with her hands behind her back, "Our alchemist, honestly Just listen to the above commands. It’s good to help ordinary people when you have time. You might be tired of it in a few years."
"Can he stay for a few more years?" Luo Youer was deeply suspicious, "At that time, I suspected that the master would kick him out on the spot."
"It's normal to drive away, but since Master Zhang didn't do this, I guess he wanted to give him another chance to see the after-effects?"
Shangguan Cai turned her head and raised her mouth, "However, no matter what the Privy Council is like, you will not be willing to give up everything you have. Am I right, Xia Gongzi?"
Being so excited by her, Xia Fan's mood calmed down instead.
Yes, fantasy is meaningless. He can't change it now doesn't mean that it will be the same in the future. Besides, studying alchemy and eliminating evil are not in conflict, and he doesn't need to be stuck for a while.
"What I do has nothing to do with you, thank you for your concern."
"You're welcome." She didn't even mean to shy away.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Seeing that the atmosphere is a little weird, Wei Wushuang offered to take the initiative, "Should we have dinner together today? "
"Agree!" Luo Youer immediately echoed.
"I don't care," Shangguan Cai glanced at Xia Fan, "It's just this one."
"Brother Xia..." Wei Wushuang winked his eyes.
Xia Fan sighed. Although Shangguan Cai was choked by Shangguan Cai, if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have recovered so quickly. Now that he refused, it seemed that he was a bit stingy. In addition to the face of his fellow townsman, it is fine for him to accompany him on a trip.
By the way, I can also pack some delicious food for Li.
"I know, let's go."
……
The following week, Xia Fan's life became unexpectedly organized.
Similar to a civil servant clocking in at work, the alchemist has to report to the Privy Council every morning to confirm whether there are new tasks that need to be handled today. The newcomers have to spend a morning to receive training. For example, some surgical techniques, and how to distinguish evil and attack its weaknesses.
Especially in the surgical techniques, the Privy Council has made quite a few improvements. For example, there are six to eight pockets in the alchemist suit, which can be divided into different types of medicinal materials; the movements of digging out materials are also standardized, two **** and four fingering. Being able to draw out two to four different types of materials with one hand, compared to the various postures used by candidates during the examination, these quick twitching movements are actually a kind of chivalrous showdown.
A bit more extreme is the pattern of talisman on the arm, so that the alchemist can perform the dual technique without the need for medicinal materials. It's just that this approach is contrary to the concept of "skinning the body and receiving the parents", and once the tattoo is unimproved, there are not many alchemists who choose to do this.
In addition, Xia Fan found that repeated use of magic spells can indeed enhance the effect of the spell. For example, since performing an earthquake without reservation in Qingshan Town, he found that his magical ability had once again gained diligence. This is not a vague feeling, but can be actually observed.
Before, when he performed a heavy operation without the help of primers and talisman paper, he could only feel a slight numbness on his skin, but now, he can pull a small electric light from his fingertips, and there is also a tingling pain. .
This is slightly different from the common sense he used to know-the controlled variable method does not work here. In other words, the most important prerequisite of the spell: "thinking" is also added to the variable. It's a pity that the energy consumption of the primary and secondary techniques is basically the same, and the improvement of the effect is close to nothing.
After the morning class, the afternoon is free time.
The most frequent place for their group is the Recording Department, where there are many books and secret records, but the number of spells is not as many as Xia Fan imagined. For example, in the area of vibration technique, apart from the thunder technique he has mastered, there are only two complete secret records, namely streamer technique and snake shadow technique.
Master Zhang’s explanation is that most of the basic spells circulated in the world, after long-term use and insight, these spells will be branded personally, and they will have their own characteristics when they are cast. As for what improvements the surgeon has made and what experience they have accumulated, only they know whether they are willing to publish it or not. It is entirely up to the individual, and the Privy Council cannot interfere.
This statement also confirms from the side why the shaking technique is the least in the eight-door alchemy. It takes tens or hundreds of taels to test new insights on weekdays, and it may not produce results. It is normal. I'm afraid people will retreat when they know it's difficult.
The newly learned vibration technique "Streaming" is well understood. It is almost a weakened version of the thunder technique. It is not affected by the terrain. It can be performed normally even in caves and other places isolated from the sky. The effect is a burst out of the palm. Arc.
The shaking technique "Snake Shadow" is very rare. The material it needs is actually fresh snake spine. According to the secret recording, this technique can improve the body's reaction speed and the acuity of the five senses in a short time. It's a pity that this medicine is really biased, and he can't get started even if he wants to experience it.
Compared with the high cost of learning alchemy, another type of books aroused Xia Fan's interest.
He discovered that the recording department actually collected a lot of martial arts.
There is the body technique Luo mentioned gently.
It’s just that these body techniques are not so mysterious that they can fly into the sky by stepping on the back of the left instep and making a leap. Most of them are the coordination of steps and breath to achieve higher efficiency of action.
In addition to the common body skills and fist and club kung fu, Xia Fan even found several books titled "Acupuncture Point", "Secret Biography", and "Divine Art".
It’s just that on the cover of these books, there is a bold red note with the words "Unverified, lack of principle description, doubtful effect, please practice carefully."
It seems that the Privy Council’s scientific literacy is quite high.
In addition, in the recording department, he also found a few books about the family. It turns out that regardless of the Fang family or the Luo family, they all originated from the heroes who had the merits of Conglong. In order to protect his family's everlasting prosperity, the Holy Admiral delegated the responsibility of recruiting people in the world to these meritorious men, and also reduced the burden on the Privy Council in a disguised form. The prohibition of the spread of magical knowledge made it impossible for aristocratic families to exist independently of the Privy Council. If they want to climb up, they must become alchemists within the system.
In other words, Luo Youer and Luo Qingming are not related in any way, they just happen to be included in the Luo family in Youzhou. This can be regarded as answering another question in Xia Fan's heart: Since feeling qi is a natural decision and cannot be controlled by humans, how did the aristocratic family accumulate a large number of people who feel qi.
It’s easy to understand the existence of at the same time. Entrusted to a family, even if they fail to learn, they don't want to change their surname.
He even has reason to suspect that even if the truly powerful children of the rich family do not rely on aristocratic families, they can still get the same level of alchemy education as Luo Qing, or they can enter the Privy Council directly without the exam.
After all, this kind of special recruitment ~ IndoMTL.com~ exists in any era.
After a week, Xia Fan has been greatly supplemented in the common sense of alchemy, basically catching up with the progress of the disciples of the aristocratic family-after all, most of the magic knowledge is monopolized by the Privy Council, the latter's first-mover advantage More on the length of literacy enlightenment and enlightenment.
Apart from studying, he also took time to patronize several blacksmith shops in Jinxia City two or three times, and split his hole cards for them to build. The price of pure copper-that is, red copper is not high, it is cheaper than wrought iron, and the price of cabbage is magnetite. The material cost is less than a fraction of the cost of lightning.
The only difficulty is to smelt copper into copper wire. In ancient times, there was no special wire drawing equipment, so it could only be polished by hand by a blacksmith. As a result, efficiency drops a lot. In seven days, he prepared a total of four copper magnet rings, each at an average price of half a tael of silver, of which the vast majority was manual expenses.
's regular life after joining the Privy Council makes Xia Fan seem to have returned to college time. Hunger and running are away from him. He no longer has to stay in clothes while sleeping, and always beware of beasts or other refugees.
Just after Xia Fan thought that this would be the life content of a long time after becoming an alchemist, an urgent news that entered Jinxia City broke the calm.
When reporting in the morning, Master Zhang brought them to the headquarters in a rare occurrence.
A sixth-rank alchemist took over as the leader of the team.
"I am a judge of the Privy Council, my surname is Zhang, and I am good at Kunshu. You can call me Zhang Shenzheng. Yesterday, I received a report from Gaoshan County, Shenzhou. A suspected evil case occurred in the county, which has threatened the safety of the whole county. "He looked around the crowd, and slowly said, "The commander's leader Fang ordered me to lead a team to deal with it. This is also a good opportunity to test the results of what you have learned. I will give you half an hour to prepare, and we will start at the right time!"
