Three months later, after Dui's unremitting efforts, he finally memorized all the labels and the names of all the fruits in the orchard. Although he remembers slowly, once he has completely memorized something, it is difficult to forget it. No matter which label Corris named, he could immediately find the corresponding drawer.
"Okay, starting from today, you will officially become my apprentice and assist me in my experiments." Gorris said lightly.
"Yes, teacher." In the past three months, Coris's attitude towards Ah-Dai has always been lukewarm. All the housework was done by Ah-Dai. Apart from meditating at night, Coris also Spend all the time in the laboratory.
Coris stared at the small tripod in front of him and said in a deep voice: "A small piece of saltpeter, one or two silver ingots, three coins for Tianfeng, hurry up."
"Yes, teacher." Ah-Dai quickly picked up Coris What he needed was handed to him. Coris put these items into the small cauldron, and then said: "One tael of red cotton, one basin of clean water, hurry up."
Took the things handed by Dumb and put them all into the cauldron. Coris glanced at Ah-Dai and said: "Use your fire technique to heat the cauldron. It cannot stop without my order."
"Yes, teacher, the fire element that fills the world! Please give me the power of burning. In my name and with your power, a scorching flame will appear." With a puff, a red and slightly blue flame appeared. In Dumb's hand, he carefully put his hand under the cauldron, concentrated on controlling the size of the flames.
Seeing the blue flaming eyes, Corris couldn't help but be stunned. The flames released by Dumb had already reached the level of a junior magician. It only took three months. He never expected this stupid person. Damn it, boy, the magic power is increasing so fast.
Gliss was even more surprised later. He originally thought that it would be good if Dumb could last for ten minutes. But twenty minutes passed, and the water in the cauldron was almost dry, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on Ah-Dai's forehead. Coris never thought that he could support him for so long. Murderous intent flashed through Coris's eyes again. He thought to himself that if he really taught this boy well, maybe within ten years, he would be able to reach or even surpass himself. The current level.
"Okay, you extinguish the flame, go get some more water, and then get one or two crystal powders."
"Yes, teacher." Duan breathed a sigh of relief, and the long use of fire spells made him He felt waves of dizziness, and of course he didn't understand that this was due to excessive consumption of magic power. Holding on for more than twenty minutes is his current limit. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he hurriedly brought what Coris wanted to him.
The black flame in Corris's hand has replaced Ah-Dai's fire technique just now, and several items in the cauldron have completely melted into paste, turning light green. Corris grabbed a handful of crystal powder from the container in Ah-Dai's hand and sprinkled it evenly on the small tripod in front of him. With a chirp, a green flame shot up into the sky. The flame went out in a flash, and a faint fragrance drifted away. In the air.
After spending three months with Coris, Ah-Dai was no longer surprised by these unusual sights and watched honestly from the sidelines. A green solid condensed in the cauldron. Coris frowned and sighed: "It still doesn't work. It seems that it can't be made without fumigation."
Fumigation Dumb knew that there was such a thing on the cabinet. A drawer, but the light blue grass inside has been used up.
Gliss covered the small tripod, turned to Ah-Dai and said: "Ah-Dai, I may have to leave for a while to find some fumigation and come back. The fumigation is only found in the Huasheng Empire, which is really troublesome. I'm leaving. During this time, you are here to take good care of your home, do you understand?”
Hearing that Coris was leaving, Ah-Dai suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, and asked: "Teacher, how long will you be leaving for?" It will take two months. When you are hungry, eat the fruits in the forest, and when you are thirsty, drink the water from the mountain spring behind the house. Remember, be sure not to go too deep into the psychedelic forest, otherwise you will get lost. You will starve to death in there, do you understand?”
Ah-Dai nodded and said, “Teacher, please come back quickly”
Corris felt warm in his heart. In the past three months, no matter what he did to Ah-Dai, he was very happy with it. He would do whatever he was asked to do immediately. Later, sometimes he would just stretch out his hand and he would know what he wanted. Where can I find a well-behaved apprentice? However, for that final experiment, I had to... Coris shook his head vigorously, shook his kind thoughts out of his body, and said coldly: "Okay, you go meditate, I will leave early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, teacher." Just now. The continuous use of fire spells for a long time really made Ah-Dai feel very tired, so he walked back to the room alone to meditate.
Early the next morning, Coris packed his simple luggage and prepared to set off.
"Ah-Dai, don't forget what I told you yesterday. By the way, this is for you." Coris took out a book that was not very thick and handed it to Ah-Dai.
A'Dai was stunned and said: "Teacher, what is this?"
Coris glanced at him with complicated eyes and said: "This is my experimental note, which is divided into three parts. Some of them are methods of refining medicines, methods of identifying poisons, and methods of refining weapons. You can take a look when you are bored. The words above are basically the names of labels, and you can also read most of the related simple words. Everyone can understand it. However, you have to remember that reading is reading. You must not go to the laboratory to experiment on your own. Do you understand? How much you can understand depends on your own luck."
Ah-Dai held this leather book with red eyes. He never thought that one day he would be able to read a book. He said sincerely: "Thank you, teacher, you must go and come back soon. Ah-Dai will "I miss you."
Gris was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and said coldly: "I don't need you to think about whether you want it or not. Just endorse it well. I will test you when you come back, you know?" "After that, he left without looking back.
Ah-Dai held the book tightly in his arms, tears flowing down his cheeks. In his heart, there was another person more important than Steamed Bun.
After Coris left, in order not to disappoint his teacher, Ah-Dai memorized the contents of his notes every day besides meditating and eating. The words used by Corris in the notes were easy to understand. Coupled with such a long time of getting along, Ah-Dai could basically understand the meaning of it. The more he read, the more he was attracted by the magic in it. However, he was a very obedient child. Even though he was curious, he did not go into the laboratory to try it. .
On this day, he got up early in the morning and briefly read his notes. Coris had been away for more than a month. Ah-Dai’s unremitting efforts during this period of more than a month finally paid off. He actually Everything in the notes is recorded in my mind. When he was reading to the end, he discovered that the last page of the note seemed to have been torn out. He didn't think much about it, thinking that Corris had torn it up because he was afraid that the content was too profound for him to understand.
After re-memorizing the contents of the notes, Ah-Dai walked into the orchard and prepared to pick his three meals for the day. As soon as he entered the orchard, he suddenly smelled an unusually strong aroma and discerned the direction from which the aroma was coming. , he walked over involuntarily. He was very familiar with this fruit forest. He could walk out even with his eyes closed.
The aroma came from the depths of the fruit forest, and the rich smell constantly stimulated Ah-Dai's sense of smell. It smells so good! Don't know what it is.
Finally, through constant exploration, Ah-Dai finally found the source of the fragrance, which was a small fiery red tree. This small tree did not exist before and seemed to have grown overnight. Similar. The small tree has no leaves, and the fiery red trunk is as clear as crystal. At the top of it, there is a milky white fruit. Under the skin of the fruit, there seems to be light constantly flowing. Waves of aroma continued to come from the fruits. Ah-Dai squatted down, looked at the fruits in front of him carefully, and recalled the plants in the medicine refining chapter in the notebook. However, it was not until he completely recalled the entire medicine refining chapter. Again, but still no definite answer found.
What kind of fruit is this? It smells really good! Ah-Dai carefully touched the fruit with his fingers. The milky-white fruit suddenly fell off the small tree under his touch. Ah-Dai was startled and subconsciously took the fruit in his hand. A warm feeling came from the fruit, and the fresh smell became more intense. The small red tree gradually withered after the fruit fell off. In just a few seconds, the small red tree had completely shrunk into the ground.
Although he didn't know what it was, Ah-Dai's hunger in the early morning made him want to eat. He held the fruit in front of him and looked at it carefully. Such a fragrant fruit cannot be poisonous. Thinking of this, Ah-Dai could no longer hold back the hunger in his belly, and bit down on the fruit. A stream of cool juice immediately flowed into his mouth. The juice had no taste, and Ah-Dai swallowed it subconsciously. The cold feeling goes straight to my heart, so comfortable! After three or two mouthfuls, he had already finished a white fruit.
A-Dai was just about to get up and return to the cabin when suddenly, a cold current surged from his lower abdomen. The cold current expanded rapidly and filled his meridians in an instant. Cold, so cold, Ah-Dai kept shivering. The cold current generated in his body made him unable to stand anymore. He fell to the ground with a plop. The cold current seemed to freeze into the bone marrow and constantly stimulated Ah-Dai's nerves. Dumb thought to himself, it's over, it's over, it looks like he's going to freeze to death just for the sake of his temporary appetite.
A layer of frost gradually formed on Ah-Dai's skin, and everything in front of him gradually became blurry. Suddenly, in the blur, he seemed to find a red light shining continuously under the withered red tree just now. flashing. His whole body trembled, and he accidentally grabbed a soft red fruit into his hand. The hot feeling was transmitted from the fruit into Ah-Dai's palm. Ah-Dai's frozen palm suddenly became much more flexible. Ah-Dai felt happy and also Regardless of whether the fruit was non-toxic, he stuffed the red fruit into his mouth while his body could still move.
The scalding heat flowed down his throat and rushed into his lungs in an instant, and the previous coldness immediately eased a lot.
Ah-Dai just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly there was severe cramping in his abdomen. The two air currents, one cold and one hot, suddenly divided into two distinct groups, constantly entangled and attacking in his internal organs, seeming to destroy everything. It's like they're all torn apart.
“Ah——” Duan rolled on the ground in pain, moaning in pain. However, in this endless psychedelic forest, who will come to save him? Cold sweat was pouring down his face, and Ah-Dai's face turned red and white. His body was constantly spasming under the raging waves of hot and cold air. In fact, what he didn't know was that if it hadn't been for the Jiuzhuan Yisui Pill that Coris had given him, his original dilapidated body would have died due to the powerful energy breaking through his meridians.
Even if Coris saw the two fruits that Dui ate in person, he would not recognize them. With Coris' caution, he would never eat fruits that he did not recognize casually. These two fruits are conceived by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. They take thousands of years to mature. They are called rebirth fruits. This fruit must be eaten both red and white to exert its maximum effect, but its medicinal power is also very overbearing. Once the medicinal power contained in it is fully absorbed, the vitality in the body of those who eat them will continue to expand. , vitality will become endless, and it is a treasure in the eyes of the monks of the Holy See. The biggest benefit of the Rebirth Fruit is that it allows the body to produce a kind of life energy, which can weaken the damage caused by any dark energy.
During the long-term entanglement between the two energies, Ah-Dai's skin gradually oozed out fine drops of blood. He suffered severe pain for a long time, and Ah-Dai couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. On the plants on the side, one side of the plant withered instantly, while the other side was covered with frost.
Until the night fell, the two energies in Ah-Dai's body finally merged into one, turning into a stream of warm air that began to circulate continuously.
Ah-Dai let out a long breath. The clothes on his body were already completely soaked with sweat. The feeling of being in trouble made his whole body go weak. He was surprised to find that his skin was faintly glowing with white light. Wherever the warm air passed, there was a warm and comfortable feeling. He lay on the ground and looked up at the sky, his mind unusually clear, and the notes he had memorized before kept flashing through his mind. Dumb thought to himself, it's finally over, am I still alive? I will never eat randomly again. .
