I have a magical tree

Looking at the time, there was still enough time to refine one more furnace, so Xu Dao did not rest.

When he opened the furnace again, as expected, eleven pills were made this time, all of which were top-grade.

Mao Chun and the others were already a little numb, looking at Xu Dao as if they were looking at a monster.

"Did you gain anything?" Xu Dao looked at Mao Chun and asked casually.

Mao Chun was stunned at first, and then her eyes suddenly bloomed with surprise.

"Yes, but not much." Her tone was a little trembling, she knew that Xu Dao was going to give her some advice.

She carefully told her feelings again.

Xu Dao nodded after listening, "You are not a pharmacist yet, and it is very difficult to watch the refining of third-grade pills, but it is rare that you can gain something from it."

"Let's put it this way, I also know that you like this, I can't promise to teach you to refine pills, and I don't want to take you as a disciple, but as long as I have time, I can help you answer one question every day."

When Mao Chun heard the first half of the sentence, she was obviously a little disappointed, but when she heard the second half, she immediately became happy.

Not every alchemist is willing to instruct their alchemy servants. Some alchemists even use their alchemy servants as slaves at home.

Forget about instructing them. As long as they don't treat them harshly, they are already good people.

But Xu Dao is willing to help her solve a problem every day, which makes her feel that her visit is not in vain.

"Disciple pays homage to Master!" Mao Chun knelt down and bowed.

Xu Dao shook his head, "I said, I don't accept disciples! If you expect me to accept you just because you call me Master, you will be disappointed."

Xu Dao did not plan to accept disciples at this time. First, he felt that he was not qualified to be a teacher. Second, Mao Chun's qualifications were still a little poor. His achievements might not be too high. What's the point of wasting that energy?

But he saw Mao Chun's unswerving spirit and felt that it was a pity to deny it directly, so he decided to give some guidance.

In this way, whether Mao Chun can successfully become an alchemist and how far she can go on this road depends on her own luck.

He felt that Mao Chun had a high chance of becoming an alchemist, but his rank might not be too high.

Mao Chun shook his head and insisted on completing the ceremony, "It doesn't matter if Master Xu doesn't recognize me, but I should follow your guidance and instruction as a disciple! Master, don't worry, I won't call you Master casually in the future."

Mao Xia, who was standing aside, was somewhat at a loss. He looked at his sister, then at Xu Dao, and hesitated, "Master Xu, how about I kowtow to you too?"

Xu Dao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You don't like the way of alchemy, and I haven't taught you anything. Why are you kowtow to me?"

"If you are willing to teach my sister, I will kowtow!" Mao Xia said this, and he became more determined in his mind, and then he really knelt down, and then banged his head twice.

This movement scared Xu Dao, what an honest child.

After finally stopping Mao Xia who was about to kowtow, Xu Dao looked at Mao Chun and said, "Remember, there is only one opportunity to ask a question every day, so you have to think about what to ask and what to ask in order to get the most benefit."

In fact, if Mao Chun can really make good use of the opportunity to ask a question every day, he can really benefit a lot, and it is not difficult to step into the first-grade alchemist.

With Mao Chun's spiritual strength at this time, it should be enough to barely refine a first-grade pill, at least the simpler one among the first-grade ones should be possible.

"I remember!" Mao Chun nodded seriously.

Then Xu Dao left two people to clean up the alchemy room, and registered the pills to be handed in, and left the Shangyi Bureau.

There are still many things to do when I return home today! The work of refining Jiaozhu cannot be stopped, Ge Yushu's progress in literacy and reading cannot be left behind, and the work of hunting monsters should be on track tonight.

Now the improvement speed is still too slow, mainly because after feeling the comfort of that kind of high-speed improvement, this speed can no longer satisfy him.

Slow as a turtle!

Although the "slow crawl" he mentioned was already unimaginably fast in the eyes of others, he still felt it was not enough.

"What do you think is the difference between the people here and the people in Yanghe?" Xu Dao asked Oats in the carriage.

Hearing this, Oats fell into deep thought, and then turned his head to look at the passers-by on the roadside. After a long time, he tentatively said: "I don't think there is any difference. The only possible difference is... the people here all have smiles on their faces."

Xu Dao didn't expect that he just asked casually, but Oats really gave an answer.

He looked outside the car and found that these people all had smiles on their faces.

Then he suddenly remembered that since he came to this world, he had seen very few smiling faces. Yanghe County, it seems that it shouldn't be a place where you can have smiles. He has been there for a long time and has actually gotten used to it!

"It's great!" Xu Dao sighed, and then said to Oats, "I'll take a nap, call me when you get home!"

He refined several furnaces of third-grade pills today. Although he was not exhausted, his mental and spiritual strength were still exhausted. It was a good time to take a rest and recover as soon as possible.

Oats replied ok, and consciously slowed down the car to avoid bumping Xu Dao.

For some reason, maybe it was the peace in his heart, or maybe it was the slow carriage that made him feel comfortable. Xu Dao, who was just thinking about taking a nap, fell asleep quickly.

In his dream, he vaguely saw a huge city, towering like a mountain, and like a wild beast.

There were shadowy figures inside, and he subconsciously walked into the city, and then there was a friendly noise, shouting, and pedestrians. However, these people walked very fast, so fast that even Xu Dao could not see their figures clearly. Everything seemed to be true and false, as if it was very real, but also seemed very vague.

Xu Dao, who was originally a little happy, suddenly frowned.

He stopped there and looked for a long time. In the end, he didn't remember anything except one thing, and the only thing he remembered was a different smiling face.

Those smiling faces were so real, there were light smiles, big smiles, bitter smiles, and happy smiles. Some people pursed their lips, and some showed their teeth. Each smiling face was different, as if representing different life experiences of people.

But Xu Dao didn't feel happy when he saw these smiling faces. Instead, his brows frowned more and more, and his heart was even colder. For some reason, he saw falsehood, absurdity, falsehood, and weirdness in those smiling faces!

Everything seemed real and yet illusory!

"Master, we are home!" A familiar voice sounded beside his ears.

Xu Dao suddenly woke up from his dream, and then he was shocked to find that he was soaked for some reason.

He was stunned in the car, his thoughts were churning, and the remaining scenes in his dream were still in his mind.

What does this mean?

Moreover, it seems that he hasn't had a dream for a long time!
