Lu Tianming lay on the sofa with a weak look on his face. He was not pretending, but he was really weak.
Although it is undeniable that the strange old man's collection is indeed quite rich, there is absolutely nothing that is truly suitable for Arya.
Although longevity lotus seems to have incredible effects and can extend lifespan, for Arya, it is not necessary at all. A thirteen-year-old child does not need to worry about lifespan at all.
There is also the water of balance. Although Lu Tianming also knows that there are not many of this stuff even in the entire Noahide continent, its efficacy is quite incredible, and it can neutralize two different attributes.
For some special high-level experiments, this thing is necessary, but it is only limited to alchemists. Arya is a swordsman.
Originally, there was also the water of the Holy Lotus. According to the strange old man, it could wash away the oppression in one's body, which was quite an incredible thing.
But then the strange old man said that based on Arya's life experience, she must have taken it a long time ago. Although the holy lotus water is rare, this problem is not a problem for the Veniret family. As a hidden force, they already have it.
He is qualified to contact the elves.
So after working for a long time, Lu Tianming still couldn't find a suitable gift.
"It turns out, teacher, your collection isn't that good either," Lu Tianming said with a disappointed look on his face.
"Asshole, how could I collect these children's gadgets?" the strange old man said angrily.
"Well, all in all, I still don't know what gift to give." Lu Tianming looked at his hands. It was the first time since he came to the other world that Lu Tianming was so distressed.
"The important thing about a gift is not whether it is good or not, but the intention. If you make it yourself, you might get unexpected rewards," the strange old man suddenly said meaningfully.
"I think back then, there were many women who were deeply infatuated with me. We would attend banquets like this almost every day," the strange old man said with a look of reminiscence as if he had been there.
"So, what gift did you give me?" Lu Tianming suddenly became interested when he heard this, and asked with curiosity on his face.
"What else can I give? I was poor back then, and I went bankrupt in order to do a lot of experiments, so I had to make a few alchemy gadgets for them, but the effect was unexpected," the strange old man spread his hands.
He said with an indifferent expression.
"Making...alchemy gadgets..." Lu Tianming muttered what the strange old man said, and suddenly a scene from the past flashed through his mind.
"Instead of paying me back, why not help me build a piece of equipment?" the girl once said at the auction.
"Making...making equipment? By the way, what I'm best at is forging, why not make some equipment myself?" Lu Tianming patted his head and said with a look of realization.
"Oh, your blacksmithing skills are of no use. Don't forget, you are a magician. Do you expect that girl to receive an ordinary-quality weapon? This is too shabby. Instead of doing this, why not follow me?
Studying alchemy?" the strange old man said with disdain.
"Alchemy is no longer needed, but magic enchantment does come in handy. This time... I want to forge a complete weapon." Lu Tianming chuckled, shook his head, and said seriously.
"However, I have always had a question, teacher, do you know how to forge a legendary weapon?" Lu Tianming suddenly asked.
"Why are you asking this? It's useless to you," the strange old man said with an annoyed look. In his opinion, Lu Tianming learning blacksmithing was a waste of time.
"Please, teacher, as a teacher, isn't it your duty to help students solve their problems?" Lu Tianming had a begging look on his face.
"You have the nerve to tell me that you asked a magician about forging. Don't you think it's weird?" the strange old man said with a helpless look.
"But a real teacher must be knowledgeable. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a failure as a teacher?" Lu Tianming said matter-of-factly.
"Uh...Okay" The strange old man lowered his head feebly. If he was labeled as a failure, his life would be over.
"Fortunately, you met me. Ordinary people would never know this kind of knowledge." The strange old man said proudly. Although the strange old man seemed unreliable, he was indeed very knowledgeable in terms of knowledge.
At this point, Lu Tianming nodded in agreement. At least, so far, there is no news that the old man doesn't know.
"In addition to eliminating 100% of impurities, legendary equipment tires also need spiritual objects as the main material, just like special materials of the excellence level."
"Spiritual creature?" Lu Tianming was puzzled by this unfamiliar word.
"It's normal that you don't understand this. To put it simply, it is an elemental spiritual object, which is a spiritual object naturally formed from elements. The legendary-level weapon is completely different from the excellent and sophisticated level. It has attributes.
For example, once a fire-attributed weapon forged from a fire-attributed spiritual object is used by a water-attributed swordsman, the fighting spirit will only increase by 20% at most.
Between fifty and sixty percent.”
The strange old man slowly took out his glasses from the space ring and put them on, and said with a serious face, as a qualified teacher, no matter how casual he is, he must take it seriously when instructing students.
"I see. Isn't that elemental spiritual object difficult to find?" Lu Tianming nodded in realization.
"Fortunately, they are usually found in the spiritual realm. Although it is a bit troublesome, you can still find them. What is really difficult is the technique of eliminating 100% impurities. Even I have not seen that the humanoid monsters that use hammers can do this.
To this extent." The strange old man seemed to be thirsty because he talked too much, so he took a glass of water and took a sip.
"Teacher, do you have this kind of elemental spiritual object in your hand?" Lu Tianming ignored the question about skills and looked at the strange old man with starry eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. Even though it does exist, I want to use it for experiments." The strange old man suddenly took a few steps back and covered the space ring in his hand with a vigilant expression.
"But now it's a matter of life and death. If you don't support me, teacher, I will be doomed, student." Lu Tianming used his last trump card, hugged his thighs, and said with a pitiful look on his face.
"Let me go...this thing is very expensive. It's a necessity for my experiments!"
"No, if you don't agree, I won't let you go."
"At least you have to go to the toilet first. Is it possible that you also want to go to the toilet with me?"
"Why not, we are all men"
…
Finally, the strange old man glared at Lu Tianming with dead fish eyes, threw out a piece of paper in his hand, and slapped it on the table.
"Sign it"
"Teacher, don't you think the price is a bit expensive? Two hundred thousand gold coins." Lu Tianming had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"You still have the nerve to say, go find out how much this thing costs. You can't even buy it for 200,000 yuan. It's still marketable and priceless. I'm willing to sell it to you for 200,000 yuan. I don't know how much you'll lose.
You have to push further," the strange old man said angrily.
"Okay, I'll be a miser if I sign." Lu Tianming signed the IOU reluctantly, so Lu Tianming became a poor man with a debt of 260,000 gold coins (50,000 was returned to the strange old man)
"Do you want to buy it or not?" the strange old man said angrily. He had already suffered a huge loss in this business, but the one who took advantage still acted like he had been cheated.
"By the way...what is Arya's surname?" After signing the IOU, Lu Tianming suddenly looked up to the sky and said quietly!
This is the story of a nonsensical boy and his teacher!
ps: By the way, why did I see the author’s kawaii tag when I woke up in the morning? This is simply unreasonable!!!
