"This is indeed mercury."
Dingshan said with certainty after looking at the silver-white liquid in the mineral water bottle.
Fang Bai nodded when he heard this, picked up the mineral water level and was about to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask.
"There is a three-day training for mage apprentices there. As long as you participate in the training for three days, you can be assigned an experimental position. The training period and even the experiment period will be conducted in a confidential manner. Are you interested?"
When Dingshan heard this, his heart immediately moved, but at the same time he was slightly hesitant.
Because Fang Bai made it very clear that experimental positions will be assigned after the training. This is an opportunity and a constraint. This position must be accepted.
It is easier to understand that the whole process should be kept confidential, so Dingshan hesitated slightly.
But Dingshan agreed after a moment of hesitation.
"good."
"Okay, then you pack your things and make an agreement with your family and friends to come to my place to report within an hour."
"good."
Looking at Fang Bai's leaving figure, Dingshan shook his head slightly.
Can he choose to refuse?
Yes, but when these dozens of mage apprentices start training, he will probably have no choice but to watch these dozens of people surpass him.
So he had no choice.
Fang Bai returned to his room directly with the mineral water bottle. At the same time, his voice sounded in Bai Qing's mind.
"Bai Qing, help me collect a batch of mercury. As much as you can collect. The price can be set at ten liters or one hundred liters of mercury per spell scroll. Please measure this specific price based on the existing market price. Just be sure.”
Bai Qing was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded and said.
"receive."
After hearing Bai Qing's reply, Fang Bai directly brought a batch of different types of potted plants or wood, as well as different types of metal samples, and started designing experiments directly. In addition, he also designed some simple experiments on the research on spell structure. .
An hour passed in a blink of an eye. When each apprentice turned around and saw the huge matchbox building appearing out of thin air, their eyes suddenly showed surprise.
It was obviously not there just now.
"What's going on? Li Shi, you didn't go back, did you see it? How did you get here?"
Luo Qing asked in surprise, and Li Shi next to him suddenly beamed when he heard this.
"When you left, the village chief was walking around here just after you left. We could only sense the elemental fluctuations and knew that he was releasing a spell.
Then only a few dozen minutes passed before the building was built. This magic is awesome! "
"Spell?"
Luo Qing looked at the building with a hint of strangeness and longing in his eyes. When he walked into the Matchbox Building, he saw Fang Bai in a large conference hall.
"Village chief, I'm back."
"Well, there's a list posted on the wall. Move into your respective dormitories according to the list, and then come here to meet up."
"yes!"
Luo Qing looked at the list on the wall and immediately went back to pack his things and moved everything to his dormitory.
There was only a stone bed and a stone table in the single dormitory. After putting all his things away, Luo Qing subconsciously touched his pockets, hesitated for a moment, and then rushed to the conference room.
Everyone was punctual. In less than ten minutes, everyone had arrived. No, there seemed to be one more person.
"39, 40?"
Luo Qing, who was counting the number of people, was slightly startled and looked at the extra person.
The man felt Luo Qing's gaze and turned back to look at Luo Qing, nodding slightly towards Luo Qing.
"Hello, my name is Dingshan."
"Hello, my name is Luo Qing."
They both sat down immediately, and after everyone arrived, Fang Bai, who was sitting at the front with his eyes closed and resting, opened his eyes and said aloud.
"You all get to know each other. I still have some work to do and I expect to start training in an hour."
After Fang Bai finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, while the others were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and immediately started communicating with each other after a moment of silence.
At this time, Fang Bai was still designing the experimental process and steps.
In a study, the design of an experiment is almost the most exhausting step.
What is the purpose, what needs to be verified, how to verify it, what are the experimental materials, how to compare, etc. all need to be improved in the experimental plan.
Fang Bai is currently preparing two experimental plans. Even though Fang Bai already had the first draft in mind, it took him more than an hour to complete.
Looking at the two rigorous and detailed experimental plans, Fang Bai took a long breath and opened his eyes immediately in the conference room.
The conference room fell silent, and everyone looked at Fang Bai.
Fang Bai stood up, looked at the neat forty people, and said immediately.
"First of all, let me talk about the three-day training course arrangement. The three-day training has a total class time of seventy-two hours."
After the words fell, everyone was stunned.
Seventy-two hours? Three full days? No rest?
Just when they thought it was Fang Bai's slip of the tongue or thought that thirty minutes was equivalent to one lesson, Fang Bai continued.
"My teaching time is from 8 am to 12 noon every day. I finish class at 12 o'clock and have half an hour to eat. Then I start class at 12:30. I still teach until 5:30 pm and have half an hour to eat.
Starting at six o'clock in the evening is the experimental time. I will lead you to do some simple experimental verifications and digest the knowledge I taught throughout the day, until ten o'clock in the evening. "
Everyone looked at each other and groaned secretly.
From eight o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening, there was no break. I didn't have any rest until ten o'clock.
However, as soon as this idea came into their minds, they heard Fang Bai continue.
"Don't think too much. There is no rest after the experiment."
“Ten to twelve o’clock is free communication time, and discussion groups are formed to discuss together. Then everyone, including me, speaks individually to talk about their own experiences and insights, or inspirations.
Meditation begins after twelve o'clock and continues until class ends at eight o'clock in the morning.
It was like this for three days. "
After Fang Bai finished speaking, one confused look after another suddenly appeared below.
Fang Bai said lightly when he saw this.
"If you regret it now, you can leave, but if you regret it in ten minutes, you won't be able to leave."
"Village Chief, we are not afraid of tiredness, but we are afraid of sudden death. Besides, except for a few young men of sixteen or seventeen years old who can continue to study after staying up all night, no one else can persevere, right?
Even if I barely stayed up all night, I still wouldn’t have the energy to study the next day. "
“Don’t worry about this, you’re too tired to be of any use to me, just say whether you want to leave or not.
I haven't closed the door yet, so hurry up and leave. "
Fang Bai finished speaking. Although everyone was confused, no one left. Even this idea was useless. They just kept thinking about the word meditation in their minds.
"meditation?"
Seeing that no one was leaving, Fang Bai stretched out his hand and the door was instantly closed by a rising stone wall. He then wrote the title of the first lesson on the whiteboard.
“Teaching and Using Meditation.”
