Chapter 30 - Chapter 30 Refusal

  to Become a Disciple Chen Guan could not understand what he meant.

  He really envied those people with poor talents who did not have to go through this kind of trouble, unlike him, who was very entangled.

  "I know what you mean, senior. I do have a trace of wood attribute and have the conditions to become a pharmacist."

  This was what Chen Guan learned from Teacher Shu Tianhe when he was at the bottom of the lake. He had never tested it before.

  Seeing the heat in Fama's pupils becoming more and more intimidating, Chen Guan felt that he could not bear it.

  Without waiting for Fama to say that, he quickly explained.

  "I hope that senior knows that although I am a little curious about pharmacists and will learn the art of pharmacy, due to some special reasons, I can't focus on pharmacy. I don't think I can spare a day to study in a month, so senior's kindness..."

  This was naturally a bit exaggerated, but it also showed Chen Guan's thoughts.

  Cultivation will always be the first in his heart.

  In addition, he will never abandon the puppetry taught by Teacher Shu Tianhe.

  Alchemy is very practical, and he will definitely find time to learn it.

  But with a strong mental power as a foundation, in today's world where alchemy is popular, alchemy is simpler for him than puppetry.

  Therefore, he will definitely spend more time on puppetry than alchemy in the future. In the eyes of others, this will inevitably give people the feeling of "not doing his job properly".

  Fama was naturally unaware of his thoughts. Hearing that he did not value his alchemist talent at all, Fama felt so angry that his liver hurt.

  With such a strong soul perception, it would be a waste if he did not focus on alchemy!

  Taking a deep breath, Fama put forward the minimum requirement.

  "Take out ten days a month to learn alchemy. I will accept you as my apprentice. I promise that you will reach the level of a fourth-grade alchemist before you are twenty."

  "You have to think carefully. How useful is the identity of alchemy? Look at Gu He for an example. I am also the president of the guild. As long as you nod, you can use the medicinal materials of my guild to practice. Moreover, I am a Douhuang strongman. As my apprentice, you can walk sideways in the Jiama Empire without any problem."

  Fama really didn't want to let go of this good seedling. He had already tempted him with benefits. This was something he had never done before.

  Chen Guan silently thought, I can walk sideways now.

  "Thank you very much for your appreciation, but I really can't spare so much energy. It is extremely rare for me to have one free day a month. I can only live up to the kindness of the senior."

  "Do you think you are bargaining in the market? One day? Why don't you learn it directly in your dream?" Fama shook his beard fiercely, and was very angry.

  With his identity, he was so "humble", but he could still be rejected.

  If this gets out, no one in the Jia Ma Empire would dare to believe it.

  The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He completely lost the airs of a Dou Huang, and was more like an angry parent, pointing at the boy and scolding him non-stop.

  "You are a waste of talent, so stupid! If you were my descendant, I would beat you to death today." He kept talking

  like a pot of beans for a long time before he vented his frustration.

  Rather than being angry, he actually felt more of a sense of regret for the boy's waste of talent, just like an avid collector who suddenly found that his beloved masterpiece was used as a tablecloth.

  At this time, not taking action is already a restraint.

  Chen Guan listened awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything. This is why he made it clear in advance.

  Of course, he knew the benefits of worshipping Fama as a teacher, and he was also very tempted, but what about after that?

  Instead of making Fama angry every day and causing complaints between the two, it would be more refreshing to make it clear in advance.   

  Fama was so thirsty from his scolding that Chen Guan handed him a cup of tea at the right time.

  After drinking it all, Fama calmed down and restored his former image of a "master".

  "Let's talk business. You came to my Alchemist Guild today, not just to visit me, but also to pick up Yue'er."

  Fama didn't delay any more and wanted to send the boy out as soon as possible, so as not to get angry when he saw him.

  Chen Guan nodded awkwardly and took out something from his ring.

  "By chance, I got a small half jar of Ice Spirit Cold Spring, but it was polluted because the original owner didn't preserve it properly. So, I would like to ask the senior to help purify it, or remove the corrosiveness in it."

  "Ice Spirit Cold Spring? Really, but the preservation is too careless. I will take this matter, but you have to be mentally prepared. After it is cleaned up, the remaining amount will definitely be greatly reduced. It can only hold about two or three bottles."

  Looking at the jar in front of him, Fama shook his head regretfully.

  If he had seen such a good thing being polluted at other times, he would have been unable to resist and cursed for wasting natural resources.

  But today, with Chen Guan's incident, he suddenly felt that the Ice Spirit Cold Spring was not worth mentioning.

  "I understand. In addition, the rules of the alchemists must be followed. This grain of Pregnant Spirit Dust will be the reward. I hope to help the senior and advance to the sixth rank as soon as possible."

  Fama looked normal. He did not want the so-called reward. He just wanted the boy to disappear from his sight quickly. He was upset just by looking at it.

  But when Chen Guan finished describing the wonderful uses of the Pregnant Spirit Dust, Fama was moved.

  He is now a peak alchemist of the fifth rank. He is just one step away. As long as he uses this grain of dust, he can be 100% sure that he can definitely break through the sixth rank and fulfill his long-cherished wish!

  This reward is too heavy.

  Not to mention purifying one portion of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, adding ten or a hundred portions would not be as valuable as the Pregnant Spirit Dust.

  Fama was very tempted. Below the eighth rank, no alchemist could remain calm in the Pregnant Spirit Dust!

  But even so, he still did not lose his mind, and took a long breath and asked, "Is this your intention, or the intention of the royal family?"

  If it was the latter, he could only give up with pain.

  Fortunately, the young man who made him hate him so much today finally gave him the answer he wanted.

  "Mine has nothing to do with the royal family."

  Hearing this, Fama breathed a sigh of relief.

  He only knew that Chen Guan had a relationship with the royal family, but he didn't know how deep the relationship was. However, judging from the friendship between the young man and the two princesses, they were undoubtedly good friends.

  Good friends are still friends after all. At most, he can be slightly biased towards the royal family in the future for the sake of the young man's kindness, and it will not be considered a violation of the purpose.

  Unfortunately, he still underestimated the twists and turns.

  After taking a deep look at the young man, Fama followed his inner thoughts.

  "I'll accept this pregnant spirit dust. Come and get the ice spirit cold spring tomorrow afternoon." Just remember the favor in your heart, and don't mention it.
