Chapter 5 The Divine Fruit of Rebirth (Part 2)

Three months later, after Dui's unremitting efforts, he finally memorized all the labels and the names of all the fruits in the orchard. Although he remembers slowly, once he has completely memorized something, it is difficult to forget it. No matter which label Corris named, he could immediately find the corresponding drawer.

     "Okay, starting from today, you will officially become my apprentice and assist me in my experiments." Corris said lightly.

     "Yes, teacher." In the past three months, Coris's attitude towards Ah-Dai has always been lukewarm. All the housework was done by Ah-Dai. Except for meditating at night, Coris spent all his time in the experiment. In the room.

     Coris stared at the small cauldron in front of him and said in a deep voice: "A small piece of saltpeter, one or two silver ingots, three coins for Tianfeng, quick."

     "Yes, teacher." Dui quickly handed what Coris needed to his hand. Corris put these items into the small cauldron, and then said: "One tael of red cotton, one basin of clean water, hurry up."

     After taking the things that Ah-Dai handed over and putting them all into the cauldron, Corris glanced at Ah-Dai and said, "Use your fire technique to heat it under the cauldron. It cannot stop without my instructions."

     "Yes, teacher, the fire element that fills the world, please give me the power of burning. In my name and with your power, appear, a scorching flame." With a puff, a red and slightly bluish flame appeared. In Dumb's hand, he carefully put his hand under the cauldron, concentrated on controlling the size of the flames.

     Seeing the blue eyes of fire, Coris couldn't help but be stunned. The flames released by Dumb had already reached the level of a junior magician. It had only been three months. He never expected that this stupid kid had magical power. It's growing so fast.

     What was even more surprising was Coris. He originally thought that it would be good if Dumb could last for ten minutes. But twenty minutes passed, and the water in the cauldron was almost dry, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on Ah-Dai's forehead. Coris never thought that he could support him for so long. Murderous intent flashed through Coris's eyes again. He thought to himself that if he really taught this boy well, maybe within ten years, he would be able to reach or even surpass himself. The current level.

     "Okay, put out the flame, go get some more water, and then get a couple of crystal powders."

     "Yes, teacher." Duan breathed a sigh of relief. The long-term use of fire spells made him feel dizzy. Of course, he didn't understand that this was due to excessive consumption of magic power. Holding on for more than twenty minutes is his current limit. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he hurriedly brought what Coris wanted to him.

     The black flame in Corris's hand has replaced Ah-Dai's fire technique just now, and several items in the cauldron have completely melted into paste, turning light green. Corris grabbed a handful of crystal powder from the container in Ah-Dai's hand and sprinkled it evenly on the small tripod in front of him. With a chirp, a green flame shot up into the sky. The flame went out in a flash, and a faint fragrance drifted away. In the air.

     After spending three months with Coris, Ah-Dai was no longer surprised by these unusual sights and watched honestly from the sidelines. A green solid condensed into the cauldron. Coris frowned and sighed: "It still doesn't work. It seems that it can't be made without fumigation."

     Dumb Fragrant Grass knew that there was such a drawer on the cabinet, but the light blue grass in it had been used up.

     Coris covered the small cauldron, turned to Ah-Dai and said: "Ah-Dai, I may have to leave for a while to find some fumigation. The fumigation is only found in the Huasheng Empire, which is really troublesome. While I'm gone, you will Take good care of your home here, understand?"

     Hearing that Coris was leaving, Ah-Dai suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart and asked, "Teacher, how long will you be leaving for?"

     Corris said: "If it's fast, it will be more than a month, if it's slow, it will probably take two months. When you are hungry, eat the fruits in the forest, and when you are thirsty, drink the mountain spring water behind the house. Remember, you must not enter the psychedelic world. The forest is too deep, otherwise, if you get lost, you will starve to death inside, do you understand?"

     Dumb nodded and said, "Teacher, please come back quickly."

     Corris felt warm in his heart. In the past three months, no matter what he did to Ah-Dai, he was very happy with it. He would do whatever he was asked to do immediately. Later, sometimes he would just stretch out his hand and he would know what he wanted. Where can I find a well-behaved apprentice? But for the final experiment, I had to. Coris shook his head vigorously, shook his kind thoughts out of his body, and said coldly: "Okay, you can go meditate, I will leave early tomorrow morning."

     "Yes, teacher." The continuous use of fire spells for a long time just now really made Ah-Dai feel very tired, so he walked back to the room to meditate alone.

     Early the next morning, Coris packed his simple luggage and prepared to set off.

     "Ah-Dai, don't forget what I told you yesterday. By the way, this is for you." Coris took out a book that was not very thick and handed it to Ah-Dai.

     Dumb was stunned and said: "Teacher, what is this?"

     Corris gave him a complicated look and said: "This is my experimental note. It is divided into three parts, namely the method of refining medicines, the method of identifying poisons, and the method of refining weapons. When you are bored You can see that the words above are basically the names of labels, and you can understand most of the related simple words. However, you have to remember that reading is reading, and you absolutely cannot go to the laboratory to experiment on your own. , Do you understand? How much you can understand depends on your own destiny."

     Ah-Dai held this leather book with red eyes. He never thought that one day he would be able to read a book. He said sincerely: "Thank you, teacher, you must go and come back soon. Ah-Dai will Miss you."

     Gris was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and said in a cold voice: "I don't need you to think about what you want or not. Just memorize it well. I will test you when I come back. Do you know?" After saying that, he left without looking back.

     Ah-Dai held the book tightly in his arms, tears streaming down his cheeks. In his heart, there was another person more important than Steamed Bun.

     After Coris left, in order not to disappoint his teacher, Ah-Dai memorized the contents of his notes every day besides meditating and eating. The words used by Corris in the notes were easy to understand. Coupled with such a long time of getting along, Ah-Dai could basically understand the meaning of it. The more he read, the more he was attracted by the magic in it. However, he was a very obedient child. Even though he was curious, he did not go into the laboratory to try it.

     On this day, he got up early in the morning and briefly read through his notes. Coris had been away for more than a month. Ah-Dai's unremitting efforts during this period of more than a month finally paid off. He actually wrote down all the contents in the notes. Keep it in mind. When he got to the end, he discovered that the last page of the note seemed to have been torn out. He didn't think much about it, thinking that Corris had torn it up because he was afraid that the content was too profound for him to understand.

     After re-memorizing the contents of the notes, Ah-Dai walked into the orchard and prepared to pick his three meals for the day. As soon as he entered the orchard, he suddenly smelled an unusually strong aroma. He discerned the direction of the aroma and walked involuntarily. In the past, he was very familiar with this fruit forest. Even with his eyes closed, he could walk out.

     The aroma came from the depths of the fruit forest, and the rich smell constantly stimulated Ah-Dai's sense of smell. It smells so good. I don't know what it is.

     Finally, through constant exploration, Ah-Dai finally found the source of the fragrance, which was a small fiery red tree. This small tree did not exist before, and it seemed to have grown overnight. The small tree has no leaves, and the fiery red trunk is as clear as crystal. At the top of it, there is a milky white fruit. Under the skin of the fruit, there seems to be light constantly flowing. Waves of aroma continued to come from the fruits. Ah-Dai squatted down, looked at the fruits in front of him carefully, and recalled the plants in the medicine refining chapter in the notebook. However, it was not until he completely recalled the entire medicine refining chapter. Again, but still no definite answer found.

     What kind of fruit is this? It's really fragrant! Ah-Dai carefully touched the fruit with his fingers. The milky-white fruit suddenly fell off the small tree under his touch. Ah-Dai was startled and subconsciously removed the fruit. Take it in your hand. A warm feeling came from the fruit, and the fresh smell became more intense. The small red tree gradually withered after the fruit fell off. In just a few seconds, the small red tree had completely shrunk into the ground.

     Although he didn't know what it was, Ah-Dai's hunger in the early morning made him want to eat. He held the fruit in front of him and looked at it carefully. There's no way such a fragrant fruit is poisonous. Thinking of this, Ah-Dai could no longer hold back the hunger in his belly, and bit down on the fruit. A stream of cool juice immediately flowed into his mouth. The juice had no taste, and Ah-Dai swallowed it subconsciously. The cold feeling penetrated into my heart, it was so comfortable. After three gulps, he had already finished a white fruit.

     Dui was just about to get up and return to the cabin when suddenly, a cold current surged from his lower abdomen. The cold current expanded rapidly and filled his meridians in an instant. Cold, so cold, Ah-Dai kept shivering. The cold current generated in his body made him unable to stand anymore. He fell to the ground with a plop. The cold current seemed to freeze into the bone marrow and constantly stimulated Ah-Dai's nerves. Dumb thought to himself, it's over, it's over, it looks like he's going to freeze to death just for the sake of his temporary appetite.

     A layer of frost gradually formed on A-Dai's skin, and everything in front of him gradually became blurry. Suddenly, in the blur, he seemed to find a red light shining continuously under the withered red tree. His whole body trembled, and he accidentally grabbed a soft red fruit into his hand. The hot feeling was transmitted from the fruit into Ah-Dai's palm. Ah-Dai's frozen palm suddenly became much more flexible. Ah-Dai felt happy and also Regardless of whether the fruit was non-toxic, he stuffed the red fruit into his mouth while his body could still move.

     The scalding heat flowed down his throat and rushed into his lungs in an instant, and the previous coldness immediately eased a lot.

     Dui had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly felt severe cramping in his abdomen. The two air currents, one cold and one hot, suddenly divided into two distinct groups, constantly entangled and attacking in his internal organs, as if they were going to tear everything apart.

     "Ah" Duan rolled on the ground in pain, moaning in pain. However, in this endless psychedelic forest, who will come to save him? Cold sweat was pouring down his face, Duan's face turned red and white, and his body was constantly spasming under the raging hot and cold air currents. In fact, what he didn't know was that if it hadn't been for the Jiuzhuan Yisui Pill that Coris had given him, his original dilapidated body would have died due to the powerful energy breaking through his meridians.

     Even if Coris saw the two fruits that Dui ate in person, he would not recognize them. With Coris' caution, he would never eat fruits that he did not recognize casually. These two fruits are conceived by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. They take thousands of years to mature. They are called rebirth fruits. This fruit must be eaten both red and white to exert its maximum effect, but its medicinal power is also very overbearing. Once the medicinal power contained in it is fully absorbed, the vitality in the body of those who eat them will continue to expand. , vitality will become endless, and it is a treasure in the eyes of the monks of the Holy See. The biggest benefit of the Rebirth Fruit is that it allows the body to produce a kind of life energy, which can weaken the damage caused by any dark energy.

     In the long-term entanglement between the two energies, Ah-Dai's skin gradually oozed out fine blood beads. After suffering severe pain for a long time, Ah-Dai couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. The blood sprayed on the plants nearby. The plants One side instantly withered, while the other side was covered with frost.

     Until the night filled the air, the two energies in Ah-Dai's body finally merged into one, turning into a stream of warm air that began to circulate continuously.

     Ah-Dai let out a long breath. The clothes on his body were already completely soaked with sweat. The feeling of being in trouble made his whole body go weak. He was surprised to find that his skin was faintly glowing with white light. Wherever the warm air passed, there was a warm and comfortable feeling. He lay on the ground and looked up at the sky, his mind unusually clear, and the notes he had memorized before kept flashing through his mind. Dumb thought to himself, it's finally over, am I not dead yet? I will never eat randomly again.
