Chapter 18 The Ambition to Become an Alchemist

Zhang Tie, who came to the counter, handed over his family plate and 360 gold coins that he had already prepared.

If you have enough money now, it is best to pay a one-time fee in advance for one year-this is

Zhang Tie’s suggestion to Zhang Tie when Zhang Tie’s cousin handed over Zhang Tie’s principal of 300 gold coins and the 900 gold coins he won from a bet with Zhang Haige brothers to Zhang Tie last night.

It is said that the two Zhang Haige brothers were seriously injured this time, and they lost face. After paying the bet, the two went out to do tasks to make money that day. They are really a pair of poor brothers and sisters.

Because of this, Zhang Tie was carrying more than 1,200 gold coins at the moment. If the debts owed to him by the girls of Zhixing Academy were added, Zhang Tie could definitely be regarded as the richest freshman in Lingtian Academy at this moment.

"I'm here to report at Lingtian Academy today, and I'll prepay the monthly fee of Lingtian Academy for one year..."

"Are you Zhang Tie?" The old pedant behind the counter lowered his head when he accepted the things Zhang Tie handed over, lowered his glasses, and looked Zhang Tie seriously.

After what happened yesterday, Zhang Tie knew that he was no longer an unknown person in Qianlongtang, and many people should have heard of his name, so it was not surprising, he just nodded calmly.

"Wait a minute, I have to check the source record of the money you entered Qianlongtang!"

Zhang Tie nodded, and the pedantic old man behind the counter stood up from behind the counter, turned to another room that Zhang Tie couldn't see, and reappeared after a full minute.

Zhang Tie reckoned that according to the Qianlong Party's grasp of the information on the children of the family who entered here, it is easy to know the origin of the large amount of gold coins on some students and whether they were carried in violation of the regulations. If such a simple thing is done If not, then Qianlongtang would have no face to call Qianlongtang.

"You have no problem with these sources of money, are you sure, one year's monthly fee for Lingtian Academy is paid in advance..."

"Sure!"

"Okay!" After counting the gold coins, the man inserted Zhang Tie's family disc into the slot of the machine, and then operated the machine a few times.

"Zhang Tie, pay the monthly fee of 360 gold coins to Lingtianyuan, which has been recorded..." The old pedant handed over Zhang Tie's identity plate and two keys again, "Your residence in Lingtianyuan It is room No. 7, Xuanzi, Songtao Pavilion, and this is the key to Songtao Pavilion and your room!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Tie took these things, and couldn't help but glanced at the machine on the counter curiously, "Can I ask, for example, after I paid the fee of 360 gold coins, you didn't give me money?" Open a receipt, what if you quarrel in the future?"

Upon hearing this, the old pedant at the counter widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Tie angrily, "Tricking? Unless Qianlongtang is breached and the differential engine system in Zhongbao is completely destroyed, otherwise All your information in Qianlongtang is stored in the database managed by the difference engine. Human brains can make mistakes, but the difference engine can’t. Do you understand or not..." At this point, the old pedant turned his head and said to Looking at the other people who were working in the room behind the counter, he said loudly, "Listen, this brat actually suspects that our precious machine will make mistakes, it is simply unreasonable..."

For a moment, all the old guys with sleeves in the room behind the counter glared at Zhang Tie, just like devout believers who have been insulted.

Zhang Tie, who saw that he accidentally stabbed the hornet's nest with a single sentence, quickly apologized and fled.

Leave the Middle Castle through the back door of the Middle Castle,

He officially entered the range of Lingtian Courtyard. After actually entering this place, Zhang Tie felt the magnificence and grandeur of Lingtian Courtyard hidden in the mountains. Compared with Lingtian Academy, the courtyard of Zhixing Academy has completely become a preschool and kindergarten.

Lingtian Courtyard occupies a large area of ​​slopes and valleys and woods on the mountainside of the whole mountain. In one hall, there are corridors and backs everywhere, with high eaves and teeth, each embracing the terrain. There is a flying spring flowing down from the mountain, forming a silvery waterfall in the Lingtian courtyard. Exotic flowers and grasses are unbeatable all year round. This is the first time Zhang Tiechang has seen such a scene when he is so old.

At a glance, Zhang Tie knew that the scale of Lingtianyuan was only a circle smaller than those towns on Qianlong Island.

Unlike Zhixingyuan, which felt deserted and deserted during the day, the entire Lingtianyuan was full of people and seemed to be full of vitality. Under the waterfall that day, there were a lot of people practicing swordsmanship. On the cliffs, there are still many people meditating and exhaling, and there are also many people reading books by the stream, under the trees and in the attics, and many people are still discussing intensely.

Here, everyone seems to be doing something, even if they occasionally encounter a few people who have nothing to do on the road, those people are all in a hurry, as if time is very tight.

Because the residential areas in Lingtianyuan are relatively concentrated, Zhang Tie easily found Songtao Pavilion, which is a traditional Chinese building with a total of five floors and is next to a pine forest. architecture.

After opening the door of Songtao Pavilion with a key and entering Songtao Pavilion, Zhang Tie discovered that there are eight rooms on each floor of Songtao Pavilion, each occupying a corner of the attic. Room No. 7 of Xuanzi is on the fourth floor of Songtao Pavilion. The room faced the southwest. Early in the morning, everyone in Songtao Pavilion probably had gone out. When he went to the fourth floor to find his room, Zhang Tie didn't meet anyone.

After using the key to open the door of Xuanzi Room No. 7 and put down the suitcase, Zhang Tie finally breathed a sigh of relief. It really deserves to be a place where a gold coin can live for a day. Except for the hard wooden bed, the room still maintains a submerged bed. Apart from Longtang's hard work style, other places are much better than when he was in Zhixingyuan.

In addition to the bedroom, Xuanzi No. 7 room also has a bathroom, a study room, a metal processing room, and a practice room facing the balcony. In several corners of the room, there are also a few thick The crystal pillars, each of those thick crystal pillars weighed more than ten kilograms, once he entered the room, under the influence of the powerful aura of those "crystal generators", Zhang Tie found that the tension in his body There is a touch of liveliness and agility in the air.

Zhang Tie only stayed in Songtao Pavilion's room for a few minutes, tidied up his things a little, and then left Songtao Pavilion.

After more than ten minutes, Zhang Tie almost inquired all the way in Lingtian courtyard, and finally found here.

This is a small building, a small building located in the pine forest. This small building is very inconspicuous among the many tall and magnificent buildings in Lingtian Courtyard. In front of the door of the small building, there is a plaque with seven large characters written on it—— "The ambition of youth is to Lingtian".

When Zhang Tie came here, just now a young man came out of the small building with great ambitions. Outside the small building, he bowed deeply to the small building before leaving.

The person who lives in this small building is a strange man from Lingtian Courtyard. Zhang Su’s cousin called this strange man the Old Man of Zhulin. He officially started his life in Lingtian Courtyard.

There is a strange rule about visiting the old man in the bamboo forest. All newcomers are free to visit for the first time. If they want to visit for the second time, they must pay 100 gold coins and 100 family contribution points. You must pay 1,000 gold coins and 1,000 family contribution points. When you are in Lingtian Courtyard, you can visit him up to three times. But there are very few people who can afford to visit for the third time. Because the 1,000 gold coins and 1,000 family contribution points are no joke.

Zhang Tie is here for the first time today, so it's free.

Zhang Su told Zhang Tie that everyone will gain a lot from visiting the old man in Zhulin for the first time, so Zhang Tie must be respectful when he comes here.

Zhang Su also asked Zhang Tie to think about his future aspirations. It is best to come after knowing what he wants to do and who he wants to be the most, so as not to waste the first opportunity to visit the old man in Zhulin for free.

Of course, Zhang Tie would not waste such an opportunity. For Zhang Tie, this suggestion from his cousin was tantamount to nothing, because as early as in Karur City, Zhang Tie had already found the direction of his soul and a goal worth fighting for all his life. Target.

With a very respectful attitude, Zhang Tie first tidied up his clothes outside the small building, and cleaned the dirt on his shoes before entering the small building.

In the small building, an old man reclined on a soft couch next to a desk, his face was as ruddy as a baby's, but his hair and eyebrows were as white as silver, and Zhang Tie was taken aback when he saw Zhang Tie's first words. .

"The debt collector surnamed Zhang has come again, alas..."

"Please also ask the old man of Zhulin to give advice!" According to his cousin's instructions, Zhang Tie smiled, bowed to the old man of Zhulin indifferently, and then stood respectfully with his hands crossed in front of the desk.

The old man in Zhulin closed his eyes after taking a look at Zhang Tie, and did not open them for a while. After opening them, he sighed again, "The road you are going to take is too difficult. The entire Qianlongtang and Zhang Tie Although the family dominates one side, I am afraid there is no one who can help you!"

Zhang Tie's heart suddenly trembled. Before he even opened his mouth, how could he know what he was thinking? Impossible! This ambition of mine has never been spoken out, it has been buried in my heart, and it is impossible for anyone to know.

"The two top-level ancestral bloodlines unique to your surname have been produced by the Zhang family. One of these two bloodlines can make the Zhang family in Huaiyuan produce the most powerful rune refiner, rune refiner It is also a top-level profession among the human race. Zhang's children who came to Qianlongtang have the most desire to become rune refiners. Zhang's rune refiners in Huaiyuan can be ranked first in the entire Weiyi subcontinent. You Do you know how many people in the entire Weiyi subcontinent are trying to come here to learn Huaiyuan Zhang's rune refining method but can't get it, and you..." The old man in the bamboo forest lying on the soft couch looked at Zhang Tie with a half-smile With a glance, "As a direct descendant of the Huaiyuan Zhang family, you obviously have excellent conditions that others can't even ask for, but you want to become an alchemist. Should I call you stupid or should I praise you for your ambition?"

Zhang Tie was shocked all of a sudden, oh my god, this old man really knows... Vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.)
