Chapter 441: Learning Ancient Texts
"Yes! Xiaoice has indeed only been learning alchemy for half a month. Her talent in alchemy is extremely high, and she is the best person I have ever seen in alchemy, even slightly inferior to me. ”
Qing Yao praised sincerely, "With Xiaoice'er's talent, it will be a matter of time before she becomes a high-level alchemist.
High-level alchemists, big countries are extremely rare.
"I can't imagine that this little girl of yours has such a high talent in alchemy. ”
Ye Fan gently scratched Xiaoice's nose, and he was really happy for Xiaoice in his heart
"Hmph!" Xiaoice wrinkled her cute little nose and said proudly, "Of course!"
The little girl has no sense of humility at all.
"Brother Ye Fan, I asked you to see her today, but let you help me, persuade her!" Qing Yao on the side suddenly said with a smile.
"Persuade her?" Ye Fan was a little puzzled.
"Well! With Xiaoice'er's alchemy talent, as long as any pill medicine master knows about it, they will rush to accept her as an apprentice. I want my master to accept Xiaoice as my junior sister. But Xiaoice didn't agree. ”
Hearing this, Ye Fan's heart trembled inexplicably, you must know that the status of an alchemist is much higher than that of a martial artist.
If Xiaoice can become an alchemist, her fate will also be completely changed, and she will no longer be a lowly little maid, but a high-ranking alchemist.
If one day, Xiaoice really becomes a high-level alchemist, then she can become the upper class of this continent.
"Xiaoice, why don't you agree? Don't you want to become an alchemist?" Ye Fan asked softly.
Xiaoice said with a serious face: "Yes, but Bing'er asked her brother to agree, and Bing'er agreed." Even if Bing'er becomes an alchemist in the future, Bing'er is only an alchemist for her brother, specializing in alchemy for her brother alone. ”
"Silly girl, you agreed. ”
"Brother, this little Juyuan Pill is a gift from me, you have to accept it." ”
"Okay! I'll take it. ”
Ye Fan happily accepted the little Juyuan Dan, although this little Juyuan Dan was no longer of much use to him, but after all, it was Xiaoice's heart.
Xiaoice saw the little Juyuan Pill under Ye Fan, her eyes were full of joy, and she looked happy.
"Xiaoice, since you agreed, I will take you to see my master in a month. ”
"Well, Sister Qingyao, will your master take me as an apprentice?" At this moment, the little girl became a little worried.
Qing Yao smiled and said, "Xiaoice, don't worry." My master will definitely agree to your talent when he knows about it, and I don't think he even has time to be happy. You can first teach you what I have taught you in the past few days, practice it well, and let him be shocked when the time comes!"
Thinking of his master's shocked expression, even Qing Yao, who had always been dignified and elegant, showed a naughty smile in her eyes.
Next, in order not to disturb Xiaoice'er's practice, Ye Fan and Qing Yao left the alchemy room and came to Qing Yao's study.
"Sister, did you say earlier that you wanted me to help you do something, that is, to persuade Xiaoice?"
"My brother is so smart, he can understand it at all. Yes, that's it. It's just that what my sister didn't expect was that little girl would listen to you so much, she has a deep affection for you!"
Qing Yao's tone revealed another deep meaning.
Ye Fan smiled slightly: "What does my sister want to say?"
Qing Yao covered her mouth and chuckled: "What's the matter, my brother doesn't want to learn ancient characters?"
"Of course I do!"
"Since you helped me persuade Xiaoice, my sister will naturally teach you. This is the "Proofreading of Modern and Ancient Characters" compiled by the teacher, which contains a comparative annotation of modern and ancient texts. If you can memorize all the contents, although you can't say that you know all the ancient characters, you can also know seven or eight times out of ten. ”
Qing Yao pulled out a thick manuscript from the shelf in the study, which was as thick as a brick.
However, this "Proofreading of Modern and Ancient Characters" was summed up by the tutor after more than 30 years of painstaking efforts, and was regarded as a treasure by the tutor, and was never allowed to be touched by others, let alone shown to outsiders. So far, this "Proofreading of Modern and Ancient Characters" has only been read by my tutor and me. Now my sister lends my brother a look, but at the risk of being punished by the tutor, so my brother can only watch it in my sister's study every day, and must not take it out of this study. If you really let your brother take it back to see it, if the master knows about it, my sister will not be able to explain it. ”
Ye Fan said gratefully: "My sister is willing to risk punishment and show me such an important document, Ye Fan is grateful. ”
Qing Yao chuckled and said, "Don't thank me yet." The content of this "Proofreading of Modern and Ancient Characters" is very complicated and very boring, so I am afraid that my younger brother will not have the patience to learn it. ”
"Sister, don't worry! Since I want to study, I will definitely put in the effort. ”
"Then you can study slowly, and my sister won't bother you. ”
After Qing Yao left, Ye Fan was left alone in the study.
Ye Fan picked up the book "Proofreading and Translation of Modern and Ancient Characters" and studied it hungrily.
In order to give Ye Fan a quiet learning environment, Qing Yao also specially arranged for a medicine boy to stay outside the study, prohibiting others from breaking into the study at will.
In the next few days, Ye Fan only slept for one hour a day. Because he was so involved in his studies, he forgot to eat.
Every time, Qing Yao and Xiaoice went to bring him food.
Ye Fan studied so hard that Xiaoice was very distressed to see it, and every time he persuaded him to rest for a while, and every time he smiled silently.
All this is in Qing Yao's eyes, but it is another matter.
"This Ye Fan's younger brother studied so hard, and it was no accident that he could have such achievements today at his teenage age. From this point of view, this younger brother will not be an idle person in the future. ”
Qing Yao sighed in her heart, and looked at Ye Fan's eyes with a hint of appreciation and respect.
The achievement of a martial artist, in addition to talent and understanding, is also indispensable for diligence and hard work.
As the saying goes, God rewards hard work.
The young man in front of him is not only extremely talented and has a high level of understanding, but he also works very hard, and one day he will turn into a dragon with golden scales and take off for nine days.
In the blink of an eye, eleven days have passed.
In the past eleven days, Ye Fan has been studying hard in Qingyao's study. After these eleven days of study, he finally wrote down seventy percent of the "Proofreading of Modern and Ancient Characters".
This is still because he has memorized people, if he is an ordinary person, it is very good to be able to memorize three or four percent in eleven days
said that on this day, Ye Fan was immersed in hard reading, and all his body and mind were hungry and thirsty for the book.
Outside the study, he suddenly remembered Xie Sishao's voice.
"Is Miss Qing Yao in the study?"
"Report to the fourth young master, my young lady is not in the study. The medicine boy who was guarding outside the study replied.
