Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 366 Disguise and Deception! New Skill Acquired!

Just leave everything to the teacher to solve.

She doesn't need to use her brain at all.

Teacher Jiang Yi: ...It's truly an honor for her to have such a disciple!

"You..." With the teacher not around, Jiang Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak. Her mouth opened and closed, but in the end she still said awkwardly.

Are you a naturalist or a mechanical thinker?

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Yi finally couldn't help but ask.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai: "!"

Qiao Bai's mind was racing.

Listening to Jiang Yi's slightly hoarse, somewhat immature voice, which was hard to distinguish as male or female, and the questions she asked.

Many things flashed through Qiao Bai's mind.

Naturalists?

Mechanical school?

What are all these?

He'd never heard of it before!

Are there different types of Beast Tamers, such as the Natural School and the Mechanical School?

If I had to say, it's egg yolk pie; I love it and want to eat more of it.

But that's definitely not how you say it.

The person in front of him, with a gaze from beneath a black robe that seemed almost tangible, was fixed on him; not answering was definitely not an option.

Qiao Bai's gaze swept over Xiao Wu and the "angel".

According to the other party's wishes.

Xiao Wu is a nature-oriented person.

Is "Angel" a mechanical type?

This division is quite interesting.

Although Qiao Bai didn't understand it, he was able to glean many interesting insights from it.

Before he discovered the Mechanical Heart, there were no supernatural beings with mechanical attributes, so where did the so-called "mechanical faction" come from?

Qiao Bai's heartstrings were slightly tugged.

A thought seemed to flash through his mind, but he couldn't quite grasp it.

Almost.

Just a little bit more

He needs more clues to analyze the current situation.

"Hmm..." Qiao Bai looked thoughtful.

Jiang Yi continued to stare intently at Qiao Bai, waiting for Qiao Bai's answer.

Qiao Bai noticed it.

For a fleeting moment, a terrifying aura emanated from Jiang Yi.

"This esteemed one..." Qiao Bai looked at Jiang Yi, as if he wanted to address him but didn't know what to use.

"I am merely an apprentice alchemist; there's no need to address me with such honorifics."

"We are the same."

Qiao Bai: "!"

Pupil earthquake.

Great earthquake.

Qiao Bai felt as if waves and tsunamis were surging in his mind.

No?

What did he just hear?

Trainee and apprentice can both be crossed out.

Alchemy?!

No?

The alchemist who brought it?

Didn't this profession, this industry, and these people disappear two to three thousand years ago?

The phrase "stormy waves" is insufficient to describe Qiao Bai's feelings at this moment.

Take a deep breath.

Qiao Bai tried his best to calm himself down and not show any unusual behavior on the surface.

Although, but.

I don't know why the other party also regarded me as an apprentice alchemy student, but in this kind of environment, it's probably a good thing.

People who are considered "one of our own" are always more likely to gain trust.

However, there is still one problem facing him.

These alchemists seem to be divided into different schools.

Naturalists.

Without a doubt, they are the most primitive life forms that are close to nature.

Take Xiao Wu for example.

For example, Qiao Bai's other pets besides "Angel".

Mechanical school.

His most representative work is "Angel".

Qiao Bai also recalled the description of "angels" that he had seen before.

A masterpiece of mechanically-attributed extraordinary creatures.

The ultimate weapon.

Qiao Bai took a deep breath, feeling extremely fortunate that, no matter what, "Angel" was not yet in its complete form.

Otherwise, there might be big problems after this landing!

Not right either.

Qiao Bai thought about it again and realized it was hard to say, maybe not.

Although it's unclear whether the alchemy apprentice before me is a naturalist or a mechanicalist.

But if he truly controlled the invincible "Angel" in its complete form, he would have substantial resources.

Mechanic alchemists would also quickly move in his direction.

His situation might be different again.

However, these were all just Qiao Bai's fantasies.

What Qiao Bai truly had to face was this apprentice alchemist in front of him, whose support for which side was unclear.

If his answer is wrong...

"My situation..." Qiao Bai lowered his eyelids, looking melancholy.

Seeing Qiao Bai's hesitant expression, Jiang Yi seemed to understand.

"I don't know much about what you're talking about either."

Many thoughts raced through Qiao Bai's mind.

First, he adopts a troubled posture, showing that he has his own difficulties.

The next step is to find a suitable excuse.

Explain why he has two pet beasts by his side that should theoretically be from two different schools...

Qiao Bai paused for a moment upon thinking about this.

Does the concept of "pet animal" still exist in this era?

In the other person's eyes, should Xiao Wu and "Angel" be his pets?

Qiao Bai was filled with doubt.

However, that's not the most important thing right now. We need to figure out how to explain things first, and then we can talk about other things.

"This was left to me by my parents." Qiao Bai said, pointing to the "angel".

They didn't use terms like "pet" or "partner."

Qiao Bai, who could be vague, simply brushed it off.

As for what it means to the other party, that's not something Qiao Bai needs to worry about.

Qiao Bai then pointed to Xiao Wu: "This was left to me by my elder brother."

When asked, they all said they were family.

It has nothing to do with him.

Qiao Bai is just an ordinary, good kid who inherited the wishes of his parents and brothers and values ​​relationships!

Qiao Bai pursed her lips as she spoke: "They... are all gone now."

Qiao Bai sighed, his voice filled with endless melancholy.

Jiang Yi felt a little embarrassed by this.

She even started to wonder if she had gone too far with her question.

"I'm sorry," Jiang Yi apologized sincerely.

Qiao Bai smiled and said, "It's alright."

It's really okay.

He truly has no parents or siblings, and Qiao Bai wouldn't feel embarrassed using that to elicit sympathy.

Jianmu Lily: "?"

hello?

崽？

Look at me?

Qiao Bai: Ignore.jpg

A pet animal and a tree—there are no human rights issues involved.

Qiao Bai spoke with a serious and righteous tone.

As for saying it's okay... well, it's definitely okay.

Qiao Bai also noticed it.

This apprentice alchemist is a kind person.

Otherwise, the other party would have no reason to apologize for such a thing.

of course.

It's also possible that Qiao Bai doesn't know enough about this place.

The problem is not big.

Qiao Bai's gaze fell on this kind and good person.

Isn't there a ready-made way to find out here?

"So what are the naturalists and mechanicalists you mentioned...?" Qiao Bai blinked, revealing his confusion about the information without any attempt to hide it.

There are no relatives.

Alone.

Accompanied by parents, brothers, and friends (?)

It's normal not to be familiar with information that is likely common knowledge, right?

Jiang Yi clearly thought so too.

There wasn't much of a problem with the logic behind what Qiao Bai said.

Jiang Yi pursed her lips as she looked at the two pet beasts that Qiao Bai had brought with her.

"Hmm...your older brother...is very rebellious?"

Qiao Bai: Cough cough

"However, compared to the mechanical school, the natural school is indeed more worthy of admiration and learning."

Qiao Bai laughed.

Oh wow.

well.

We can now determine which school this apprentice alchemist belongs to.

You can tell just by listening to their words.

Undoubtedly a naturalist.

His words and actions revealed a more sublime ideal of the naturalist school.

Qiao Bai declined to comment on this.

"As for your parents..." Jiang Yi's gaze, fixed on the "angel," still carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

She didn't say anything more.

Click till.

Those are, after all, Qiao Bai's parents.

In the eyes of an apprentice alchemist who embarks on this journey alone and has little knowledge of either the natural or mechanical schools.

Compared to so-called perseverance, parents and older brothers are definitely more important.

Jiang Yi decided to act as a guide and help Qiao Bai catch up on her studies.

"Alchemists are divided into two factions: the Nature School, which reveres nature, and the Mechanic School, which takes pride in creating mechanical artifacts."

"Among them, the natural school advocates that all things originate from the life that already exists between heaven and earth."

"learn."

"respect."

"Analyze it, and then transform it into your own."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, but he remained silent.

But how should I put it?

This statement doesn't sound right at all.

Once you understand and respect something, you can then make it your own?

What kind of bizarre robber logic is this?

Qiao Bai smiled but didn't say anything.

Seeing that Qiao Bai didn't express any meaning or attitude after listening, Jiang Yi couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

After hearing his description, shouldn't Qiao Bai have shown excitement?

Jiang Yi glanced at Qiao Bai again as she thought about it.

Ok.

It could also be because Qiao Bai's understanding of their naturalistic school is still not deep enough.

If only the teacher could speak...

Jiang Yi shook his head.

Unlikely.

"Those mechanical people despise the life of nature, insisting on creating life out of thin air that does not exist in this world, and then turning it into their own use."

"They'll get their comeuppance sooner or later!"

Jiang Yi said with absolute certainty.

Qiao Bai's eyebrows twitched again.

No?

Is there a problem with this?

Alchemist.

Alchemy.

It's normal to create something out of thin air, right?

After thinking about it, Qiao Bai asked that question.

"Well... I don't have much experience or knowledge in this area, so I'm a bit..." Qiao Bai said with an embarrassed expression, smiling as she looked at Jiang Yi.

To Qiao Bai's surprise, Jiang Yi's reaction to this was not very strong.

If Qiao Bai could see Jiang Yi's expression...

He could even see understanding on Jiang Yi's face.

"That's normal."

"Alchemy apprentices, and many people who don't know much about alchemy, will have similar thoughts, which is not strange at all."

Rather, this actually touches on Jiang Yi's area of ​​expertise.

"First of all, not everyone can become an alchemist; only those who can resonate with the energy between heaven and earth have this honor."

Jiang Yi, whose voice had been soft before, became unusually loud when she spoke about this point.

It was completely inconsistent with her image of wearing a cloak.

Qiao Bai didn't speak, but listened quietly.

He didn't even try to resonate with the energy of the bottom-exploration station that Jiang Yi mentioned.

It's not safe here.

Moreover, there was an apprentice in front of him who knew enough about alchemy; who knew if he might make a mistake?

Let's wait and see.

Qiao Bai wasn't in a hurry.

What Qiao Bai has in abundance is time and patience.

Take it easy.

Qiao Bai couldn't say whether he had truly traveled back more than three thousand years, or entered a terrifyingly realistic illusion.

However, when you don't know enough about your surroundings, being honest and upright is always the right thing to do.

Even though Qiao Bai is a person who likes to have fun, he knows that he should do so within a permissible range.

Otherwise, it's really easy to mess things up.

Qiao Bai simply nodded, which piqued Jiang Yi's interest in continuing.

"How is your energy resonance with the universe?" Jiang Yi looked at Qiao Bai and asked seriously.

"Hmm." Qiao Bai frowned. "I don't know if I've been learning correctly."

"Could you demonstrate this for me so I can make a comparison?"

As she spoke, Qiao Bai looked quite shy and embarrassed.

"Alright then." Jiang Yi gently exhaled from his chest.

I never expected to encounter a newbie who only has a superficial understanding of alchemy today, especially considering that I'm still one spot short of being able to graduate and recruit students.

Jiang took a deep breath.

I must win over this newcomer today!

Let him voluntarily join the nature faction!

Qiao Bai: "?"

For no apparent reason, I felt that the person in front of me was bursting with powerful fighting spirit.

It shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Jiang nodded.

Open your arms.

At this moment, the social anxiety that had been emanating from Jiang Yi vanished completely.

His entire being exuded an indescribable air of majesty.

Qiao Bai was not intimidated.

If I had to say something... most beast tamers also possess this kind of aura.

Then Qiao Bai opened his eyes wide.

and many more?

What did he see?

A golden, illusory, hexahedral-like object appeared in Jiang Yi's palm.

It spun in Jiang Yi's palm.

Qiao Bai's eyes were filled with utter confusion.

What is this thing?

"The core of the golden heart".

"This is the most straightforward demonstration of every alchemist's communication with the energy of heaven and earth."

"Feel the energy of heaven and earth, and call upon the golden core within your heart."

Qiao Bai: "..."

silence.

Silence is the eternal atmosphere.

Jiang Yi looked at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai looked back at Jiang Yi.

A faint, awkward atmosphere permeated the air between them.

Jiang Yi: "?"

Wasn't she being straightforward enough?

Why does the person in front of me still look so lost?

Qiao Bai: "So, is it possible... for you to start by telling me what the Golden Heart Core is, how it manifests, and how to summon it?"

Jiang Yi: "Ahem."

"It's my first time teaching, so I'm not entirely clear on some things." Jiang Yi believed Qiao Bai's words.

indeed.

She was too hasty.

"Hmm... let me think about it."

Jiang Yi closed her eyes, struggling to recall how her teacher had guided her into the field.

Could you make a simple replica?

"Close your eyes."

oh oh oh!

I remember now!

Jiang Yi quickly replied.

Qiao Bai was very cooperative.

I decisively closed my eyes.
