Ye Chong flicked his fingers, and all sorts of reagents were poured into the flask. The colors of the reagents changed from brown to purple, then to red, then to yellow, then to green, and finally to a faint blue. When Ye Chong added the last reagent, the flask was clear and transparent.
He heated the flask carefully, and the water evaporated bit by bit. Finally, there was a pile of white powder left in the flask. Ye Chong carefully collected the powder with the autumn clover he bought in his mouth. However, he was not done yet. Ye Chong turned his attention to another flask. The alchemy flask was filled with a black, viscous liquid. The liquid was bubbling non-stop.
When the black, viscous liquid in the alchemy flask was devoid of bubbles, Ye Chong carefully poured out the black liquid. The black liquid was colloidal when it was poured out.
Ye Chong was very focused. His long hands were nimble, and his precise control of his strength made him feel like a fish in water.
Soon, there were eight black spheres of different sizes before him, but all of them were round like pearls. These were the powerful knockout agents used by Lunatic Guan. It had a nice name, "Night Enchantment".
Ye Chong did not use all of the brown mistletoe fruits to make "Night Enchantment". He also used a small portion to make medicine. While Cornerstone had medical equipment, he knew the importance of carrying medicine with him, having grown up on Trash Planet. Sometimes, water from afar could not quench one's thirst.
When Ye Chong walked out of the straw hut, the sky was getting dark. Everyone was waiting for him outside.
When they saw him, they all looked relieved. Ye Chong had been working from morning until dusk, and they had been waiting outside for almost a day. Wang Meng had sent someone to bring him lunch, while Fei Si and Master Yan talked about alchemy. Fei Si knew nothing about the taboos between alchemists here, and Master Yan was very interested in Fei Si's completely different theory. The two of them had a pleasant conversation.
"Looks like you've succeeded, young man! Congratulations! "Teacher Yan's words were always so comforting.
"Thank you!" Ye Chong returned the bow. Master Yan was a generous man, willing to lend him his equipment. Ye Chong took out a medicine he made and handed it to Master Yan. "Please accept it." Wang Meng, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but feel envious. This was a supreme grade medicine, something that countless people could only dream of having.
Obviously, he did not expect Ye Chong to give him a medicine. Master Yan declined, "This thing is too valuable. I dare not accept it."
Ye Chong could not help but frown. He did not retract his hand, and continued to extend it in front of Master Yan. Seeing Ye Chong's expression, Master Yan could not help but smile. This time, he did not reject the gift, and accepted it generously. "Then I shall accept it. Hehe, thank you for your generous gift, little brother. "
It was dinner time when he returned to his residence. The banquet was hosted by Manor Lord Wang, and Master Yan was present as well. It could be seen that Master Yan's status in the Wang Family Village was not low. Ye Chong, who had been starving for the whole day, was not in the mood to talk. He just buried his head in his food. Seeing Ye Chong wolfing down the food, both Master Wang and Master Yan could not help but smile.
From then on, Ye Chong and his team were treated better than ever. Obviously, the owner knew that there were two alchemists in Ye Chong's team. She had even asked Master Yan about it, and Master Yan had said something nice about it. The owner believed him without a doubt.
Thus, Ye Chong and his team settled down in the Wang Family Village. They had not decided where to go yet. Staying in the Wang Family Village was not a bad choice. Besides, this place was very close to Cornerstone. If anything happened, they could quickly retreat to Cornerstone.
Ye Chong's daily life was rather leisurely. He would go to Master Yan's place every day. Master Yan had the bearing of a master. Like Ye Chong, he was meticulous and focused in his profession. Master Yan was very skilled in alchemy, more so than Ye Chong had imagined. Both of them would often discuss certain issues. Every time this happened, Fei Si would quietly listen to them. The alchemy they were discussing was completely different from what she had learned, but she still worked hard to learn. This was a necessary quality for a professional alchemist.
Master Yan appreciated this trait of Fei Si's, and would often impart some knowledge to her. Fei Si also learned a lot from this. She began to understand the discussion between the two. After all, she was very skilled in alchemy, and could comprehend things by analogy.
Master Yan was very surprised by Ye Chong's knowledge. Ye Chong had an amazing memory and a strong reserve of knowledge. The only thing he felt was that as a professional alchemist, Ye Chong was still lacking in the application of alchemy. He felt that Ye Chong did not often use alchemy to solve his problems. This puzzled him. He could not understand why an alchemist would not often use alchemy to solve his problems.
Unlike Ye Chong, Rui Bing trained hard every day. While her improvement was not something that could be achieved through training alone, she did not let her guard down. The intensity of her training was enough to put those beginners in the martial arts world to shame. They would never have imagined that a Jie expert would be doing the same basic training as them. Rui Bing spent the rest of her time meditating. Ye Chong gave her all the information he knew about mentalists.
Of all of them, the little boy had the best time. He spent every day with a bunch of girls. The women all liked his cuteness very much, and the little boy deliberately acted cute, which was extremely lethal. Even the Wang Manor Lord liked this little boy very much.
Wang Zishi walked to Rui Bing's house. He was no longer his usual charisma. He looked very haggard now. It was obvious that his failure had been a huge blow to him.
He stood there like a wooden statue for more than 30 minutes. His expression changed constantly. Gradually, his hesitation disappeared, and he regained his usual determination.
"Wang Zishi, please accept me as your disciple!" His once clear and bright voice was now hoarse and deep, clearly audible.
No one could have imagined that his words would cause such a stir in the Wang Family Village. Wang Zishi also did not expect that his words, his decision, would lead to such a result.
Inside the room, Rui Bing sat with her eyes closed, as if she did not hear him.
There was no reply, but Wang Zishi did not give up. He raised his voice and said, "Wang Zishi, please accept me as your disciple!"
The room was still silent.
Wang Zishi fell to his knees and kowtowed. His expression was determined, and his hoarse voice was the same as before, "Please accept me as your disciple!"
Everyone panicked. The villagers of the Wang Family Village reported to the master as soon as possible.
Wang Zishi had always been the pride of the Wang Family Village. He was the idol of many young people. A person like him actually wanted to be apprenticed to someone other than the Wang Family Village! Although the inheritance of a Grandmaster of Combat was not as strict as that of an alchemist, it was still a taboo for a Grandmaster of Combat to learn from someone else.
Immediately, the news spread like wildfire throughout the Wang Family Village.
Many of the villagers immediately dropped their work and rushed to the scene. Countless shadows jumped on the roof of the house. The house was like a huge magnetic field. Countless people gathered here.
More and more people gathered around, but it was dead silent. No one spoke. Everyone's heart felt like it was being pressed by a huge rock. Almost everyone realized that this was going to be a storm that had not been seen in many years. Everyone understood that Wang Zishi was doubting the Wang Family's fighting style. Everyone in the Wang Family felt like they had been stabbed in the heart. But they could only remain silent, because the one doubting was not someone else, but their pride, their idol, the number one fighter among the younger generation of the Wang Family Village, Wang Zishi. The deep humiliation pierced through everyone in the Wang Family, and the air seemed to freeze.
Wang Zishi was not afraid, and knelt there with a normal expression. He had made this decision after careful consideration, and had gone through an intense mental struggle. He even knew that he would be despised by everyone in the Wang Family. However, he still made this decision. He understood that what he wanted to pursue was the pinnacle of combat. For this dream, he would not hesitate even if his body was crushed and his bones crushed.
Ye Chong did not know that a huge storm was coming. He was still discussing alchemy with Master Yan.
"Bastard!" A middle-aged couple hurried over. The middle-aged man saw Wang Zishi kneeling there, and his heart ached! This was his most beloved disciple, the one he had placed all his hopes on, and now he was kneeling in front of someone else's door, begging to be accepted as a disciple. His heart ached, and his expression changed drastically. In an instant, his face turned ashen.
The crowd naturally parted to make a path for him. This middle-aged man was Wang Zishi's master, Wang Lu. Wang Lu was not well known outside, but he had a high reputation in the village. He was strong, but rarely showed it. His wife was also one of the strong fighters in the village.
Wang Lu had a square face, and usually looked intimidating when he was silent. Now, his expression was even more terrifying. His wife stood beside him, looking at Wang Zishi kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks. She knew how much effort her husband had spent on this disciple. They did not have children, and Wang Zishi was like their child.
"Speak, why did you do this?" Wang Lu did not get angry, and his voice was unusually calm. But Madam Wang, who knew her husband's temper well, knew that he was extremely angry.
