Chen Rui knew that the 2 masters were kind, and this Tetenis was obviously the trustworthy type. Therefore, Skye and Xingxing revealed the secrets of the trio-specialized master. The purpose was to let him get the inheritance of this quasi-grand master and improve his alchemy to the next level.
Chen Rui thought for a while and said to Tetenis, "Master, I can learn knowledge from you, but I really have my difficulties that I can't leave the Dark Moon …"
"After you listen to the choice I give you, then make this kind of decision." Tetenis looked solemn, "You have 2 choices. First, in the next few days, I will teach you knowledge, including pharmaceutics and mechanics. Due to the limited time, I can only teach for 1 year at most. How much you can learn depends on your understanding. Second, accept a special inheritance imprint. As long as I die, you will directly get all the knowledge. This kind of inheritance will enable you to see the road ahead in advance and avoid detours, but it also has a drawback that the experience of predecessors is likely to form a certain fixed framework that limits your future development. Therefore, the most important thing is to transform them into something that you can control. I must remind you that if you choose the second option, not only will you inherit knowledge and memories, but you will also inherit a kind of fate … It will let you face very terrifying opponents in the future, or you will also embark on a similar path as me … You must consider it clearly. "
Chen Rui heard that there seemed to be a hidden story in it, and he asked, "Master … please forgive me. Before making a choice and calling you 'teacher', I want to know what kind of fate I will encounter if I choose the second option. Master's current state doesn't seem to have reached the point where his lifespan is exhausted. Why do you say that there is only 1 year left in his lifespan?"
Tetenis sighed, "Even if you don't ask this question, I will tell you. My life will be lost to others in the gamble 1 year later! Once you choose the second way to accept the inheritance imprint, you will also become the object of a certain contract to continue this gamble. "
This answer was far beyond Chen Rui's expectation. He asked, "What kind of gamble is it?"
Tetenis sighed, "This is an alchemist's 10,000 years of gambling. It involves the secrets of more than 9,000 years ago. The content is a comprehensive competition of mechanics and pharmaceutics. The opponent is the old enemy of my lineage. Although the second method will allow you to obtain the entire inheritance without missing out, you will also have to bear a greater responsibility and risk. The wager was held once every hundred years, with one's life as the wager. The loser would die immediately, while the winner would gain a hundred years of life. My teacher lost his life in the hands of the other party, and now I can't escape this fate either … If you accept the inheritance, including my guidance this year, it will be a total of one hundred and one years. During this period of time, you must use all means possible to digest and absorb the inherited knowledge, and use it as your foundation to break through my original level and reach the true Grandmaster level. Only then will you have a chance to fight against the other party. "
Chen Rui was really shocked this time. There was such a bet! With Tetenis' proficiency in mechanics and pharmaceutics quasi-grand master level, he is still bound to lose! The sentence "Only by reaching the real grand master level can it be possible to compete with the other party" means that the other party is … a grand master level all-around mechanic and potioneer!
The Demon Realm actually has such a character! And he has always been unknown!
The so-called trio-specialized genius master was simply not worth mentioning in front of the real grand master. Even though Chen Rui had experienced a mental transformation in Mountain Seckred, he couldn't help but be a little frustrated at this time. However, he was not discouraged. There was a chance to go further in front of him, but he must make a choice.
"Master, do you mean that if you participate in the gamble a year later, you will definitely lose?"
"I know my state very well. Let alone 1 year, I can't break through to the grand master level even if I have 10 years. The winning rate of the gamble after 1 year is zero. By then, there is only a dead end. That's why I want to find a disciple who can inherit knowledge. No matter which one you choose, you need to devote yourself to learning. That's why I suggest you leave the Dark Moon. "
Chen Rui looked enlightened, "Master, what is the origin of the other party? What is going on with the bet and contract? "
Tetenis was silent for a moment as he stared into his eyes, "Call me teacher."
Chen Rui understood that this kind of deeper secret could only be known through a master-disciple relationship. Being able to worship such a quasi-grand master as a teacher was definitely an alchemist's dream opportunity. Even if I don't choose that dangerous inheritance, I can benefit a lot just by choosing the first one and getting Tetenis's teaching.
Judging from Tetenis's eager eyes, being his disciple can also fulfill the old man's biggest and last wish.
"Teacher." Chen Rui made up his mind and bowed to Tetenis.
Tetenis showed a gratified look and nodded, "Very good! I will tell you the whole story first. As for how to choose, it is all up to you. "
The matter dates back to 9000 years ago. At that time, the Demon Realm had 2 grand masters. One was the potion grand master, Rosenbach, and the other was the mechanic grand master, Luoluo.
Rosenbach was a dark elf with many disciples. Luoluo was a dark dwarf. In addition to her amazing grand master-level trio-specialization in mechanics, she was also proficient in ancient runes, but she had never accepted an apprentice in her life.
The 2 masters were in the south and the north respectively. One was a potion grand master and the other was a mechanic grand master. They didn't seem to have any intersection, but no one knew that these 2 grand masters actually had a life-and-death friendship. Luoluo was seriously injured in his early years. Later, Rosenbach made great efforts to save him, but he still left an incurable sequela.
In her later years, Luo Luo sensed that she didn't have much time left in her life, so she sought out Rosenbach. Rosenbach was also nearing the end of his life, and he wanted to find a successor. Under such circumstances, the two grandmasters worked together to create an Inheritance Crystal that condensed everything they had learned in their lives.
After Luoluo finished making the inheritance crystal, her injuries relapsed, and she died of energy exhaustion. Rosenbach was also severely injured. Soon after, a group of talented disciples were screened for an assessment competition to determine the inheritor.
In the end, a disciple named Daur won. However, at this time, the eldest disciple, Saman, who failed in the competition, suddenly made a move. He severely injured Daur and Rosenbach with a trick, forcefully snatched the inheritance crystal, and tried to kill the 2 to silence them.
Rosenbach was already severely injured, and now he was seriously injured and dying. However, he was a grand master and one of the crystal makers after all. He immediately activated a special contract in the inheritance crystal to divide the inheritance imprint into two halves, which fell on Daur and Saman respectively, making both of them the inheritors of the crystal at the same time.
The inheritance obtained by both of them was incomplete. Affected by the contract, they could only use the rules to defeat each other in order to completely get rid of the contract and obtain the entire inheritance. If they used other means to kill each other, they would not be able to get the complete inheritance, and they would also suffer a terrible backlash.
In this way, Saman couldn't kill Daur, and he couldn't even let others do it. Otherwise, he couldn't get the complete inheritance. This kind of imprint was very wonderful. It could be passed on from generation to generation by inheritance during the contract period of 10,000 years.
Not only that, Rosenbach, who hated his traitor Saman very much, did not hesitate to burn his life as a medium to launch a curse, which was that Saman's imprint could not be inherited. In other words, as long as Saman failed once, he would really die.
However, the fact was that Saman didn't know what kind of adventure he had, but he had miraculously remained undefeated and lived until now. After so many years, he had already reached the grand master level. In the last competition, he also created a full set of eternal potions. His achievements even surpassed Rosenbach back then. It was no longer meaningful to gather the complete inheritance imprint. In a sense, this kind of gambling competition could become a way for him to prolong his life.
Chen Rui was secretly shocked. It turns out that there is such a secret. The opponent is actually an old monster who has lived for nearly 10,000 years. He thought for a while and asked, "How long is this inheritance 10,000 years contract?"
"If you accept the inheritance, then your 100 years is the final deadline." Tetenis sighed, "To be honest, Saman's strength is already above Rosenbach back then. Unless a miracle happens, otherwise even if he breaks through to the grand master, the chance of winning is quite small. So, I will give you 2 choices. Even if you choose the first one, it doesn't matter. As long as Saman wins the final victory, he can get rid of the various restrictions and constraints of the contract and openly appear in the Demon Realm. With his dual grand master identity, he will definitely be sheltered by the strongest forces. By then, it will be impossible to kill him in other ways for revenge. "
"Teacher, I will still choose the first path." Chen Rui thought for a while and made a decision, "What I want to focus on is mechanics. As for pharmaceutics … I hope to learn from teacher with a potion master friend. Uh, I can also let him be a disciple of teacher."
Chen Rui was talking about Aldas. At present, Aldas's strength had reached the senior master level. With the guidance of this quasi-grand master, it was estimated that he was very hopeful to go to the next level. Just in case, Chen Rui did not intend to reveal the black potions in his hands for the time being. He planned to learn from Tetenis for a while and see what would happen.
This choice was expected by Tetenis. Although it was a little regretful, it was understandable. Who wants to bet their lives with a powerful grand master who has lived for 10,000 years? The old man thought about it. Anyway, I only have 1 year of life left. This Aguile seems to only specialize in mechanics, then I will pass on my pharmaceutics knowledge to the other potion master. Since he can become a good friend of my disciple, I don't have to worry about his character.
"Well, then our learning will start now …"
"Wait a minute, teacher. It's already late now. I have to go to the palace to inform the potion master, then I still have something to report to Princess Royal Highness in the palace. Let's just start tomorrow. I will bring that friend to learn from my teacher tomorrow morning."
"Report? It's those boring political affairs again! "The old man said with dissatisfaction," Don't you know that there are specializations? Don't waste your talent in vain! "
"Teacher, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. My talent and ability may be beyond your imagination … Don't be too surprised by then. "
"What's there to be surprised about? You can f * ck off now." The old man snorted coldly and simply ignored him. Chen Rui smiled and turned away.
