The news that Lin Zheng passed the assessment and entered the intermediate department has spread throughout Nanshan College without anyone noticing.
This sudden news once again aroused an uproar among the crowd. In the entire college, whether it was the primary department, the intermediate department, or even the advanced department, the elite department, they were all talking about Lin Zheng.
However, when the outside world was noisy, Lin Zheng did not appear. Instead, he was quiet and hid alone in the alchemy department.
In the luxuriously decorated hall, the magic circle in the center emitted a brilliant light, like a star falling from the sky, shining from time to time, with a brilliant and dazzling brilliance, constantly rising and falling.
In the center of the magic circle, there was a pill furnace emitting a trace of hot steam. At this time, Lin Zheng stared at it with a serious look, breathing slowly, as if he had completely disappeared at this moment.
"Chichichi..."
The furnace was placed on the magic circle, and was constantly being baked, making a harsh sound, which seemed extremely harsh at this time.
Lin Zheng had been staring at the front, his eyes motionless, until the end, as he exhaled a long breath, there was a light "bang" sound, which suddenly came out.
"Huh!"
Lin Zheng, who had been highly alert, suddenly exhaled a long breath, and then waved his palm, and the furnace suddenly moved, and finally slammed on the table in front of him with a bang.
At this moment, he waved his palm repeatedly, and the furnace opened with a bang.
Suddenly, the fragrance was overflowing, refreshing, and people were stunned. Lin Zheng's face also showed a hint of surprise.
It was only a few breaths, and Lin Zheng's eyes began to show a trace of solemnity, and there was a burst of uproar when his breath was agitated.
The door suddenly made a crisp creaking sound, and Gu Qinghe walked in.
"Successful?"
Seeing Lin Zheng, Gu Qinghe showed a smug look on his face.
In the hall, the fragrance lingered, spreading all the time, creating ripples and waves all around.
"Hmm!"
"I'm glad I did it."
Seeing Gu Qinghe coming, Lin Zheng also showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile.
"You kid..."
"Tsk tsk!"
Gu Qinghe's old face showed a look of surprise, and then he exclaimed in admiration, and his words were also full of some incredible.
He spent his whole life, studying the art of alchemy day and night, to achieve his current achievements.
And Lin Zheng, it was just a simple mix, and he had only been in contact with alchemy for a short time, but the excellent talent he showed made even him extremely envious.
At the same time, Gu Qinghe was secretly glad that such a talented young man was actually his disciple.
With a slight smile on his face, Gu Qinghe walked slowly and stood in front of Lin Zheng.
"Not bad, not bad."
Gu Qinghe nodded slightly and couldn't help but praise. At the same time, he seemed very satisfied in his words.
"Level 2 elixir has such quality."
"Compared to ordinary elixir, the grade is twice as high."
"Tsk tsk..."
At this point, Gu Qinghe's old face showed a trace of envy and couldn't help sighing.
With his vision, he could naturally tell.
Lin Zheng is an excellent alchemy genius.
"Now your alchemy skills are completely stable at the level of a level 2 alchemist."
"But if you want to break through, it may not be that easy."
Gu Qinghe said slowly, and his tone suddenly became low, for fear that Lin Zheng would be complacent and ruin his future.
"If you want to go far in the alchemy, it is not only about alchemy, but also other aspects such as collecting herbs, distinguishing herbs, etc., as well as the method of mixing, and so on."
"These must be fully mastered."
Gu Qinghe talked slowly, full of persuasion.
"Teacher, I understand."
Lin Zheng nodded slightly, not anxious or impatient, listening carefully.
How could he not understand these principles?
After hearing this, Gu Qinghe nodded slightly.
Naturally, he was very pleased that Lin Zheng could understand these principles.
The alchemy furnace was completely opened, and three round and gentle pills appeared, like jade beads.
"Not bad."
"Second-level pill, blood coagulation pill."
"Much better than usual."
Gu Qinghe nodded slightly, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
In just a few breaths, Lin Zheng's face also showed a look of surprise, and his words were full of praise.
"Now I am a second-level alchemist, but other knowledge is far from enough."
"I still need some experience."
"Recently, find time to go to the Great Wilderness Mountains and pick all these herbs."
"First, it is to identify the herbs, and second, it is to pay attention to the way of collection."
"Only in this way, you can pick the herbs intact when you go out in the future."
Gu Qinghe said, and took out a piece of parchment from his arms, which recorded more than a dozen herbs. Lin Zheng took a rough look and found that most of them were precious herbs, which were not so easy to get.
"Yes, teacher."
Lin Zheng took it respectfully.
It's time to go to the Great Wilderness Mountains.
Now, whether it is strength or alchemy, it has reached a bottleneck, and naturally needs experience.
Theoretical things, no matter how proficient they are, are just talk on paper.
Being able to apply the learned theories to practice through oneself is actual combat, and it is your own thing.
In Nanshan College, although there were Lin Zhong, Lin Kan and others, Lin Zheng had fought many battles. But these were not life-and-death battles after all.
A warrior must go through life-and-death battles before he can grow.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Lin Zheng would understand this principle.
…
Three days later, Lin Zheng, dressed in a tight suit and carrying a wooden sword, left Nanshan College alone.
Since Lin Zheng showed his talent in alchemy and was accepted as an entry-level disciple by Gu Qinghe, the bounty on Lin Zheng in Nanshan College was withdrawn.
As for the incident of Teacher Wu's death for no reason a year ago, there are still people investigating, but there is no result yet.
Lin Zheng never took these to heart. At this time, he came out of Nanshan City at a very fast speed, like a phantom, and he had already left the town in just a few takeoffs and landings.
There are towering ancient trees on both sides. Being in it gives you a feeling of quietness and concentration. That feeling has been lingering in your heart. You take a deep breath. The air is filled with a refreshing breath, which makes you feel refreshed.
There are people coming and going all around. Warriors from Nanshan City and other places are all moving quickly on this road, heading towards the Great Wilderness Mountains.
Lin Zheng is dressed in a black robe, and his wide cloak covers his face, covering his entire body, but he did not attract too much attention.
As soon as he left the city, he showed his figure, rushing forward like a sharp blade, with a "chi chi" sound, and swept away into the distance.
In just half an hour, a continuous green mountain in the distance appeared in front of us, looking so dazzling. Warriors from all over came densely and threw themselves into this mountain range.
"Huh..."
"The Great Wilderness Mountains."
"Here I come again!"
At this moment, facing forward, Lin Zheng exhaled heavily, and his expression suddenly changed.
I still remember the rainy night a year ago, when his Dantian was destroyed and his Qi Sea was broken, he could only stumble and enter the Great Wilderness Mountains in a panic.
That scene still appears in my mind very clearly and has never disappeared.
However, the contrast between before and after this time is very different.
"Hua La!"
Lin Zheng threw a long runner, making a burst of noise, and moved forward quickly at this moment.
Under the ten-mile long river, after nearly a year of training, his body movements became as flexible as a swimming fish, and he seemed so fast on the flat ground, moving forward without any hindrance.
As soon as he entered the Great Wilderness Mountains, a desolate breath came to his face, and there was a faint airflow coming to his face. The air contained a bloody breath, which was daunting.
"Nanshan College is really strong."
"There is a branch in the Great Wilderness Mountains."
"There is a place for students of Nanshan College to rest."
At this time, when he came to the Great Wilderness Mountains, Lin Zheng had a map in his hand, which was given to him by Gu Qinghe.
It was because of this that Lin Zheng discovered that Nanshan College actually had a branch in the Great Wilderness Mountains, hidden in the deep mountains and forests. If it were not for the instructions on the map, it would not be found at all.
This was also beyond Lin Zheng's expectations.
This branch was not affiliated with any other branch, but was established by Nanshan College, which was specifically for hunting monsters in the Great Wilderness Mountains, or providing resources and training for students.
Ordinary warriors, even a team of warriors, could only carry supplies for one month when entering the Great Wilderness Mountains.
However, the instructors and students of Nanshan College could stay here for a month, or even three months, half a year, or a year.
"Let's go to the Great Wilderness Branch first."
Lin Zheng followed the instructions on the map and made up his mind.
Since there is a map to the Great Wilderness Branch, he will go there first.
According to what Gu Qinghe said before departure, the Great Wilderness Branch in the Great Wilderness Mountains is extremely hidden, and there are dense formations around it to drive away some monsters to prevent them from causing trouble.
There are even some special methods to set up illusions. If it weren't for the students and teachers inside Nanshan College, outsiders would not be able to find the exact location and the way to get in.
The Great Wilderness Branch is hidden, and the shortest distance from the outside is fifty miles. The route indicated on the map is also this shortest distance.
If an ordinary person were in it, I'm afraid the speed would be greatly affected. It would probably take five or six days to walk fifty miles.
However, Lin Zheng was different. His figure was flying, and he was walking on flat ground in the dense jungle. The branches and leaves around him had no effect on him at all.
Lin Zheng walked slowly and lightly like a big bird. With just a light touch, he was launched out. Wherever his figure passed, only the leaves were shaking gently, and his figure had disappeared long ago.
