Jiang Kehan frowned, realizing that things were not so simple, but looking at the message on the terminal, she gradually understood.
The focus has been shifted to a peculiar place.
What?! I actually created a new spell! Although the effect isn't significant, it's still something I created entirely through my own talent.
As expected of me.
She nodded, very proud.
I've decided! I'll take advantage of this burst of inspiration and go check out Alchemy Street today!
Jiang Kehan tidied everything up, and Liu Yiqi Yi Er Ba Si sDiba set off with his broom.
Chapter 46 Alchemy Street
Alchemy Street is located in the eastern part of Worry-Free Sky Island. It is an area specifically built for alchemy. Putting everything else aside, the explosion-proof coefficient of the materials used is definitely among the best in Worry-Free Sky Island.
Hearing the muffled thuds that came from time to time, and the witch who was chased out looking disheveled, Jiang Kehan couldn't help but become suspicious.
How could you possibly cause so many explosions?!
Logically speaking, the witch's alchemy system is already quite complete. If you follow the tutorial step by step, there's absolutely no way an explosion could occur.
Unless, the witch chuckled and began her "I'm thinking" phase of adding more water to the noodles and more noodles to the water.
Jiang Kehan swallowed hard, looked around, and finally chose an alchemy shop that looked very luxurious and understated.
The main reason was that the witches coming in and out looked clean and tidy, without any trace of the explosion, which gave her a lot more confidence in the store.
Alchemy shops primarily sell not various alchemical products, but rather knowledge and the rental of professional alchemy rooms.
For witches, most alchemical products can be made by hand as long as they have the recipe, so they will not choose to buy them unless they urgently need them or the recipe is very expensive.
Jiang Kehan pushed open the door and stepped into a wooden library with an antique style. Not only were there mahogany counters filled with books everywhere, but the most eye-catching thing was the wall, which was as smooth as water.
Jiang Kehan saw a witch reach into the book, and as she silently chanted, a book magically appeared in her hand when she pulled it out. Judging from the witch's expression, it was clearly the book she was looking for. She nodded, very satisfied.
It's a bit magical. Sure enough, the use of magic can drive civilization to develop in a certain direction and evolve into unique tendencies.
Jiang Kehan curiously surveyed the unfamiliar scene and noticed a witch dressed in a medieval classical dress walking towards her with books.
This is a very charming witch, with a shy and reserved smile. She has a very wifely feel to her. Her flaxen hair is styled in an updo, making her look quite "dangerous".
"Hello, I am Qingran, the owner of this place. Is there anything I need?" Her tone was very gentle, making Jiang Kehan feel enveloped by a maternal aura.
"Ah, I'd like to rent the alchemy room for a bit, and also see if there's any alchemy knowledge that interests me." Jiang Kehan was a little flustered, especially since the other person was at least 180cm tall, making her feel inferior in more than just her presence.
Hmm, so tall... oh no, she's a woman who could be my mother.
Jiang Kehan's brain automatically ignored the height issue, and she unconsciously straightened her back, trying her best to look presentable.
Seeing Jiang Kehan's expression, Qingran gently covered her mouth and spoke with a slight smile.
"Of course, you're just as adorable as my child. Maybe I can give you a discount."
Oh no, she's really being treated like a child now. Jiang Kehan let out a small wail in her heart, but she did notice Huadian.
She looked at the other person carefully; this was the first time she had ever met a witch who had started a family.
For witches, family is a very distant topic.
A witch can have many close friends to ensure she is not lonely. Coupled with their long lifespan and the ability to transform other races, family is no longer a necessity.
However, every witch secretly longs for a witch with whom she can build a family, though there may be more than one.
In a witch's logic, her lover is an inseparable part of her heart, and the other person is the source of her power. This transcends common sense, allowing her to stop and stand before the most dazzling scenery, feeling sweetness.
It's important to understand that a witch's desire for evolution is instinctive and almost uncontrollable.
Witches don't have the concept of divorce, but there have been instances where they failed to maintain proper boundaries with close friends, resulting in them being secretly imprisoned by their friends after announcing their marriage. This is also one of the reasons why the custom of giving gifts among witches arose.
The scumbag witch might be dismembered; you take a piece, I take a piece, and everyone can have a bright future.
Jiang Kehan noticed that the other person's expression was very peaceful and radiated happiness, which made her a little stunned.
Even she could see the inextinguishable flame in her eyes when she looked in the mirror—an infinite yearning for evolution and power. Although it wasn't usually apparent, it didn't mean she was calm.
She was like a moth drawn to a flame, trying to fly towards the sun, while Qingran was like a firefly that shone with its own light, living in her own radiance.
Jiang Kehan was a little envious.
"Mom, are you there?" A familiar voice broke Jiang Kehan's reverie, and she couldn't help but look over, her eyes widening.
Sigh, isn't this the little witch I harassed the other day when I didn't bring my broom?
Qingxue also noticed Jiang Kehan standing in front of her mother, her eyes widened, and she subconsciously spoke.
"What a reckless fool!"
I'm not a reckless person. Besides, you've already given me a nickname?
Jiang Kehan repeatedly compared Qingran and Qingxue and found that the two did have similarities. However, Qingxue's black hair should be inherited from her other mother, otherwise she would not have been completely unaware of it at first.
"So you two know each other?" Qingran was also a little surprised. She turned to look at her daughter and noticed that the other girl subconsciously covered her wrist.
So, Xiaoxue refused to say who gave her the bracelet, and it turned out to be this young lady?
She narrowed her eyes slightly, first scrutinizing Jiang Kehan, then nodded to herself.
I never imagined that my own gloomy daughter would have friends. This is truly... wonderful!
I've talked to my darling about this issue before, but she insisted that our daughter should handle it herself. As a result, our daughter still doesn't have any friends. We can't let this opportunity slip by.
Qingran walked up to Qingxue, who was trying to run back to her room, and took Qingxue's hand with the bracelet on it, intentionally showing it to Jiang Kehan, while pulling her closer to Jiang Kehan.
“Since you’re Xiaoxue’s friend, let Xiaoxue host you. By the way, Xiaoxue has her own alchemy room and some alchemy recipes.” She winked at Jiang Kehan.
"If you're interested in other recipes, Xiaoxue knows the prices, so I won't bother you anymore. Have fun."
After saying that, she left quite naturally, leaving the two of them somewhat embarrassed.
Qingxue stared at the back of her mother, who had sold her, with a death stare. "You really are my mother!"
Then, she stared at Jiang Kehan in front of her, becoming withdrawn, and fell silent.
Jiang Kehan was unaware of the other person's inner thoughts. She noticed the bracelet on the other person's wrist and broke the silence with a smile.
"It seems you really like my gift, which puts my mind at ease."
She took out a notebook from her spatial bracelet, which she had originally intended to give as an apology gift to the academy, and handed it to Qingxue.
"I was worried that Miss Qingxue would mind my rudeness, so I specially prepared an apology gift. Please accept it."
"I was really reckless that day, thank goodness for you!"
Qingxue looked at the exquisite notebook. Although it was very ordinary, the cover contained Jiang Kehan's heartfelt apology and blessings.
She took the notebook, carefully held it in her arms, and then spoke to Jiang Kehan in a very weak voice.
"I forgive you. Come with me. Would you like to see my alchemy room first?"
"Hmm," Jiang Kehan nodded quickly, thinking to herself, "What an adorable little witch! That's more like it. Li Hui and the others are too precocious; they don't have the cuteness of children at all."
Chapter 47 Magic Property Display Agent
The alchemy room was located on the second floor. Jiang Kehan followed behind Qingxue, curiously looking around the place.
It has a bit of an old-fashioned hotel feel, with wooden floors that creak when you step on them, narrow corridors, and rooms very close together, with another room every few steps.
Why do these alchemy labs seem smaller than the college dormitories?
Jiang Kehan frowned slightly, her fingers tracing her cheek as she tentatively observed with a magical aura.
Then, her eyes turned into mosquito coils, and she felt dizzy. Qingxue, who was in front of her, noticed the magical fluctuations and turned around to look at her.
"Are you trying to use magic to observe this place?"
Qingxue tilted her head, looking at Jiang Kehan with an expression of utter disbelief, and asked in confusion.
"Don't you know that alchemy labs are maintained by small, fragmented spaces? With so many different spaces piled together, it's no wonder you feel dizzy. Do you want some water?" She was still somewhat concerned.
Jiang Kehan cast a tranquility spell on herself and immediately felt much more refreshed.
She had just seen many "bubbles" interfering with each other, seemingly stacked on top of each other, but upon closer inspection, they maintained their original shapes.
It's a bit like watching several screens playing different content at the same time; well, it might be related to the dimension.
"No need, thank you for your kindness, Qingxue~" Jiang Kehan waved her hand at Qingxue and smiled to indicate that she was fine.
Seeing the other person stubbornly continuing to offer her water, she paused slightly, but still chose to accept the unopened bottle.
It was slightly cool, yet had a pleasant aftertaste. Jiang Kehan's eyes lit up, and she gave Qingxue a thumbs up.
"It tastes great!"
Seeing that Jiang Kehan had drunk it, Qingxue withdrew her hand and pretended to speak casually, but secretly used magic to dry the sweat that had spilled out of her hand.
"You impudent fool, you can ask me any questions you have. I've lived here for so many years, and I even got my A2 alchemy certificate last year."
After speaking, Qingxue carefully and secretly observed Jiang Kehan's expression. Seeing the other party clapping in amazement, her nervousness was replaced by pride.
Jiang Kehan was genuinely surprised. A2 stands for Witch Professional Certificate, which means that a witch has obtained formal qualifications in a certain field. Not only can she obtain the right to purchase restricted resources, but she also receives an extra subsidy every month, which can be considered a small achievement.
Those who strive for this certificate are mostly mid-level witches. The fact that someone of this age can obtain this certificate shows their talent in alchemy.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Jiang Kehan naturally bowed slightly to the other person, placing her hands behind her back. The trust and happiness in her eyes made Qingxue's cheeks blush.
This was the first time someone had asked her for a favor, and the feeling was... not bad!
"Cough, come with me, let's go to the alchemy room first." Qingxue quickly turned around, covered her burning face, and walked briskly towards her alchemy room.
Hey, am I being a bit inappropriate?
Jiang Kehan could easily see the other person's shyness, and suddenly felt that she was bullying a child a bit, so she stuck out her tongue slightly, being a little naughty.
However, seeing that the other person was almost out of her sight, she hurriedly chased after them, not taking it to heart.
Qingxue's alchemy room is located in a corner on the second floor. Its most obvious feature is that the door is very low, so low that Jiang Kehan and Qingxue have to bend over to enter. It was obviously prepared for Qingxue a long time ago.
"This was a gift from my mother when I turned three. It might need some modifications." Qingxue suddenly felt that the door was a bit of an eyesore, even though she never usually felt this way.
Three years old, is this the true value of an alchemy family?
Jiang Kehan had checked the prices of legitimate alchemy labs, and even the lowest-end ones were in the tens of thousands. Not to mention, for her own child, she would definitely use the best solution available.
I really got a great deal; I should prepare more gifts in the future.
Her thinking was clearly not on the same wavelength as Qingxue's; at least Qingxue didn't think that simply borrowing her alchemy room was a big deal.
