Volume One Rebirth in Another World Chapter 15 Alchemist (Part 1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Tie Heng has been living here for three days in a remote courtyard in a corner of the Governor's Mansion.  For three days, except for the two young men responsible for his daily life, he had not seen anyone else. His own range of activities was also restricted to this courtyard and he was not allowed to go out at will.

    But there are three meals a day, including big fish and meat, and sometimes a pot of mellow rice wine.  The old clothes and pants he was wearing had long been replaced by a brand new set of Chinese clothes, and he also wore a pair of calfskin thick-soled soft boots.  This outfit is of great value to ordinary people.

    Although it is still unclear how Hu Ji plans to arrange him, Tie Heng has a happy-go-lucky temperament, has good psychological adjustment ability, and is extremely adaptable. Otherwise, most people would have suffered a nervous breakdown after being trapped in the Chaos Orb for so many years.  .  So he lived quite leisurely these days, eating, sleeping, practicing Qigong, and chatting with the two boys for a while when he had the opportunity to find out some information.

    These two young men were assigned here and usually had nothing to do. In addition, they were only a few years older than Tie Heng, so they got along very well with each other.  Tie Heng inadvertently made insinuations and soon learned a lot about the situation in the governor's mansion from them, especially Hu Gai, whom he was most concerned about.

    The governor's office is divided into two major administrations: internal and external.  Among them, the housekeeper was a nun close to the governor's wife. She was only responsible for the affairs of the inner house and her powers were extremely limited.  As the director of foreign affairs, Hu Gai is an old family member who has followed the governor to protect and take care of him when he was young. It can be said that he is a great butler.  Not only is he close to the governor, but he also has great power in the government.

    "No wonder he can make decisions for the governor without having to inform him in advance." Tie Heng then realized that Hu Ji's status was higher than he had thought before. No wonder those officials and wealthy businessmen wanted to fawn over him so much.

    On this day, Tie Heng had just finished lunch and was laughing and joking with two boys when Hu Ga suddenly opened the courtyard door and walked in.

    "Tie Heng, pack up and follow me." Hu Ga didn't even look at the two boys who hurriedly saluted him, but just ordered to Tie Heng.

    "Yes." Tie Heng simply wiped his hands with a wet cloth, then put on a light coat, straightened his collar, and stood quietly in front of Hu Ga.

    Hu Ji naturally knew that Tie Heng could not have any other luggage, so he nodded, turned around and left without saying a word, and Tie Heng followed closely behind.  After leaving the courtyard gate, there was a carriage parked at the corner not far away. Hu Gai took him into the carriage and greeted him. The driver whipped his whip, the sound of hoofbeats was clear, and the wheels rolled away.

    In the carriage, Tie Heng and Hu Gai sat face to face.  The latter stroked his beard and lowered his eyebrows, seeming to be thinking about something.  Tie Heng observed the other person's face and knew that he had no intention to speak, so he remained silent.

    Tie Heng knew that this might be the final arrangement Hu Ji had made for him. While he was guessing, he watched the scene outside the car through the window with alert eyes, keeping the direction he was taking in his mind.  The carriage exited the back door of the Governor's Mansion and drove onto the spacious street. The tranquility outside the carriage soon became lively. There were many pedestrians on the street, and the carriage was not very fast.

    After walking for more than half an hour, the noise around me weakened a lot, and instead the chirping of cicadas could be heard loudly.  The carriage was driving along a high wall. Many tall trees were planted in front of the wall, which were shaded by the afternoon sun.  On the other side are some shops selling the Four Treasures of the Study, magic materials, and mid-to-high-end finished weapons. Most of the passers-by are young people. Some of their clothes are of the same style, and they seem to be a kind of uniform.

    "Tie Heng, do you know where we are going on this trip?" Hu Ga suddenly spoke.

    For more than half a month, Tie Heng has been going to the city almost every day and has a general understanding of Tianfeng City.  Therefore, he had already discerned that the carriage was heading towards the southeast corner of the city. Combined with the scenery on both sides of the road, he had already vaguely guessed the destination of the trip.  But he pretended to be confused: "I don't know, kid."

    Tie Heng looked at Hu Ga eagerly, as if waiting for him to give an answer, but the latter smiled and did not say directly: "You will know in a moment."

    The carriage drove through a small square. In front of it stood a tall stone gate tower with four large gold-plated characters engraved on it.

    "Kunyuan Academy!" Tie Heng exclaimed deliberately, his eyes widened with a look of surprise.  "Sir, do you want to send me here"

    "It's a little different from what you guessed, but it's not much different." Hu Ji interrupted him.  At this time, the carriage had already passed through the gatehouse. There was the emblem of the governor's office on the carriage, so the few gatekeepers naturally did not dare to stop it.

    The carriage drove all the way towards the depths of the vast university. In the carriage, Hu Gai took advantage of this time to tell Tie Heng the reason for his trip.

    It turned out that Hu Gai wanted to send Tie Heng to be an apprentice to Feng Shiyou, one of the six divisions of Kunyuan Academy.  Siye is learning??Part of the top leadership and the second-in-command of Jijiu, they work in pairs and are each responsible for a branch in a different field.  This Feng Shiyou is in charge of the magic branch, and he is a very famous alchemist himself. Every treasure phantom and magic weapon he makes is of high quality. Countless masters are eager to ask him to tailor it for them, but  Can't get it.

    Because this person has a rather eccentric personality, he studied magic at Kunyuan Academy when he was young. Later, he traveled around the world and held an official position in the imperial court.  However, he was obsessed with the study of precious phantoms and magical instruments all his life, and he was also unruly and conceited, which offended many people and made the officialdom dissatisfied.  In the end, he simply resigned and spent more than thirty years devoting himself wholeheartedly to his own cultivation and research, refining several powerful treasures and war weapons, and has become world-famous since then.  But at this time, he was already old and weak, but he did not leave a successor who could inherit his mantle, and he felt quite worried.  So after receiving the invitation from his childhood alma mater, he quickly went south to Fuzhou and served as the director of Kunyuan Academy.  Not long after, he announced that if anyone could send him a disciple with excellent qualifications, and one that he could see, he would make tools for him free of charge.  This exchange condition stumped many experts from all walks of life who came to seek treasures. There were also many smart people who sent their nephews to his door, hoping to become his disciple.  But in more than five years, Feng Shiyou has only accepted four apprentices, which shows how high his requirements are.

    "That's it!" Tie Heng was somewhat relieved after listening to Hu Gai's narration.  What he was worried about was that the other party had evil intentions and would be detrimental to him. After all, with his current ability, it was impossible to protect himself.  As for the goods being exchanged by others, he doesn't care at all.  This is a realistic and cruel world, and people who are sold into slavery are everywhere, not to mention this.

    "Master Feng's skills are superb, and his skills in making precious phantoms are unmatched by anyone. Even the royal family sent people to invite him. You only need to learn a few percent of it, and it will be enough for you in your life. If you are smart enough  If you are diligent, you will be famous all over the world one day." Hu Gai painted a delicious picture for Tie Heng, and then warned sternly: "But you have to remember that Master Feng is extremely strict with people and has a bad temper.  You are somewhat lonely and unpredictable. Although you have great talent, he will definitely test you for a while. Whether you will be able to stand out in the future will all depend on your own performance."

    "Thank you for your teaching, sir. I will definitely keep it in mind," Tie Heng replied sincerely.

    "Well, just remember it. The Governor is also very optimistic about you." Hu Gai nodded with satisfaction and stared at the young man in front of him for a while.

    "That's all! Using this boy to make friends with Feng Shiyou is indeed a good stepping stone, and he will definitely be satisfied. If this boy can really inherit his mantle in the future, it will be a great thing for the governor and me."  He thought secretly, feeling somewhat conflicted.

    Actually, Hu Gai is really reluctant to recommend Tie Heng to someone else as his apprentice.  But on the one hand, the governor has been trying to get closer to Feng Shiyou. After all, an alchemist who can refine high-level treasures and magic weapons is a great help to any family and is also the target of various forces.

    On the other hand, since Tie Heng has such outstanding talent, joining Feng Shiyou's disciples has become the best choice.  Once something is achieved in the future, it will naturally be easier for the governor's family to take it for their own use.  Because from the moment Tie Heng moved into the Governor's Mansion, in the eyes of outsiders, he had been labeled as the Governor's Mansion.  If he succeeds in becoming a disciple again, he will owe a favor to the boss of the governor's office. As for how to repay this favor, it will not be up to Tie Heng himself.

    The last aspect is that Hu Ji is extremely superstitious.  He never believed that God would be so kind to a person. Such outstanding talents would be gathered in one person, which must be jealous of God.  He knew that many people who were hailed as geniuses had a rough fate, and some of them died prematurely due to misfortune, or even harmed their family and friends. Few of them could really achieve anything.  So even though he valued Tie Heng very much, and he once wanted to keep him by his side and find some techniques suitable for him to teach him, but in the end he gave up these thoughts.  But he didn't know that it was true that he was jealous of Yingcai, but Tie Heng had long endured unimaginable hardships, and now was the time for him to be rewarded
