Chapter 1542 (One Thousand Five Hundred and Forty-Two) Talent
At that time, he had a friend named Su Cheng. Su Cheng also wanted to be an alchemist, but because his father was a Lanjia man, he was rejected every time he sought apprenticeship.
Su Cheng said to Chen Wenyuan: "Let's give up! It's because my father and your mother are both blue-armored!"
At that time, Chen Wenyuan said to Su Qian: "It's not at all to blame that our family members are Lanjia people!"
Later, while Su was traveling with his father, his father was killed by Tiecang people. The situation when Su Cheng's father died was very special. Su Cheng thought: If I had learned some spells, my father would not have died!
Su Qian told Chen Wenyuan about his father's death and that if he had learned some magic, his father would not have died. This made Chen Wenyuan, who had never given up his dream of becoming an alchemist, want to become an alchemist even more.
Su Cheng moved to another place with his mother. After that, Chen Wenyuan never saw Su Cheng again.
Many years later, Chen Wenyuan heard a piece of news - there was an alchemist who had accepted a disciple whose father was a Lanjia man many years ago. The alchemist was Xiong Yimeng, who was extremely skilled in magic. He immediately went to become his disciple.
Chen Wenyuan was seventeen that year. After meeting Xiong Yimeng, he thought that Xiong Yimeng would be different from other alchemists. Unexpectedly, after learning that his mother was a Lanjia person, Xiong Yimeng also said that as long as one of his parents was a Lanjia person, he would not receive.
This made Chen Wenyuan very disappointed. He thought: Is the news spread outside false? Should I ask him?
So he mustered up the courage to ask Xiong Yimeng that question, and Xiong Yimeng told him: "The apprentice whose father is a man in blue armor has been accepted many years ago. I have not accepted such an apprentice for many years."
Shan Xia Jing happened to appear. She had heard the conversation between the two before, including the sentence "The apprentice whose father is a man in blue armor has been accepted many years ago. I have not accepted such an apprentice for many years." She He also saw that Chen Wenyuan was eager to become a disciple, so he used magic to look at Chen Wenyuan and found that Chen Wenyuan had talent.
She said to Xiong Yimeng: "Master, this person has the talent to be an alchemist. I just used magic to see it."
Xiong Yimeng said: "There are many people who have the talent to be alchemists. I can't accept them all."
"Master, this man's talent is very high, very extraordinary!" Shan Xiajing said, "You can give it a try." "I won't try, no matter how talented he is, his mother is still a blue-armored person." Xiong Yimeng said.
Shan Xiajing said: "My father is also a Lanjia man, and the master still accepted me back then."
"You are different. Not only are you extremely talented, but you also saved my life at such a young age, which is simply a miracle. You were homeless at the time, so I accepted you as my apprentice. He is already so old, There is no foundation at all, and I can’t teach him.” Xiong Yimeng said.
Shan Xia Jing said: "Master, try it with your magic. His talent is really rare! Try it and you will be surprised!"
Xiong Yimeng said: "I'm too lazy to try."
Shan Xiajing said: "Master, in fact, people with high talents are really rare. It doesn't matter if you learn late, you will make rapid progress!"
Xiong Yimeng glanced at Chen Wenyuan, curled his lips and said, "You are already seventeen years old..."
Shan Xiajing said: "Didn't you accept a nineteen-year-old apprentice a few days ago?"
"His family are all from Tiecang." Xiong Yimeng said, "You are also surprised. Why do you want me to take in this seventeen-year-old person so much?"
Shan Xiajing said: "Of course I have my own selfish motives. But the reasons other than selfishness are obvious. The master will know after trying his magic. I didn't say it casually. His talent is really high."
