Chapter 28: Don’t make friends with people without quirks

A person without a quirk is not worth making friends with, because he has no deep feelings.

A person without flaws is not worth associating with, because he lacks true energy.

This is exactly why Lin Mo chose Gut.

In Lin Mo's opinion, the old man in front of him was a fool. Such people often had no "scheming" or bad intentions. To be more precise, they were disdainful of others. Such people were often more lovable.

"Old man, you are holding my hand, how can I take it out and show it to you?" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Gut looked at Lin Mo and let go of his hand somewhat angrily, but his eyes were still staring at Lin Mo, full of anticipation.

Lin Mo didn't waste any words. He flipped his right hand and took out the jade box containing the Ice Spirit Flame Grass from the storage ring.

He glanced at Gut, smiled, and slowly pushed open the lid of the box.

From the moment Lin Mo took out the jade box, Gut's eyes never left the jade box. As Lin Mo slowly pushed open the lid of the box, Gut's breathing became rapid, his pupils suddenly shrank, and finally he stared at the white and red alternating grass leaves in Lin Mo's hand.

A light mist surrounds this plant, making it look like it's in the clouds.

Looking closely, the leaves of this grass are white and red. The white branches are covered with ice-like objects, while the fiery red crown is like a burning flame. Two completely opposite colors and properties now appear strangely on one plant. One can only sigh at the magic of creation.

"It's actually the Ice Spirit Flame Grass!" Gut said excitedly with his face flushed with excitement.

Gute had only seen this Ice Spirit Flame Grass in some ancient books, and this was the first time he saw it in real life.

"Young man, how many gold coins do you want to sell this Ice Spirit Flame Grass for? As long as you name it, I will never bargain." Gut said.

Lin Mo believed that even if he asked for an extremely outrageous price at this time, Gu Te would pay it, because his obsession with collecting all kinds of rare treasures had reached the point of madness.

But that's not what he came here for.

"I won't sell it." Lin Mo said.

After hearing Lin Mo's words, Gu Te frowned slightly, and finally said: "Come in with me."

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the room in front.

Lin Mo followed closely behind.

After entering the house, Lin Mo habitually scanned the room, looking at the various rare treasures displayed on the rows of counters in the room.

Each one of them would be a rare treasure if it were put outside. Several precious medicinal herbs such as the Bailing Ginseng Fruit that he had put up for auction were now lying quietly in a corner.

Although he had been mentally prepared, when he saw it with his own eyes, he still sighed in his heart that this old man's collection was really too rich.

Seeing Lin Mo's expression, Gu Te showed a smug smile on his face and said, "How about my collection?"

"I have never seen so many rare treasures in my life." Lin Mo said, and it was true.

"You're quite sweet-tongued, kid." Hearing Lin Mo's compliment, a gentle smile crossed Gut's aged face, and he nodded. "I daresay, even across the entire Gama Empire, no one can compare to me."

"Tell me, what do you want to exchange the Ice Spirit Flame Grass for? Let me tell you in advance, there are some treasures that I won't exchange." Gut said with some pain.

Lin Mo knew that Gut had misunderstood his meaning and thought he was here to barter.

But you can't blame Gu Te for thinking so. Since Lin Mo didn't want to sell the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, then he was naturally using it for exchange. But Gu Te never thought that Lin Mo was not using the Ice Spirit Flame Grass to exchange for anything, but to exchange it for the skills of an alchemist.

Lin Mo shook his head slightly and said, "I can give this Ice Spirit Flame Grass to the old man, but I only need him to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter? Tell me first."

"I hope the old gentleman can teach me the knowledge of alchemy." Lin Mo said truthfully.

"You want to become an alchemist?" Gu Te frowned and looked at Lin Mo and said, "Forget about teaching you alchemy knowledge. If you just give me this Ice Spirit Flame Grass, I will teach you everything I know."

"I don't want to lie to you, but I'm telling you upfront. Not everyone in this world can become an alchemist. The first requirement is that your fighting spirit possesses a fire element. Secondly, in addition to your fire element, you must also possess a hint of wood energy. Finally, you need a strong soul perception. Without these, even if I teach you, you won't be able to become an alchemist."

As a time traveler, Lin Mo had naturally measured his own attributes.

Otherwise, there would not be this plan today.

Lin Mo felt more relieved by Gut's frankness. It turned out that his choice was not wrong.

Gut didn't have to tell Lin Mo all this. He only needed to teach the knowledge of alchemy. By the time he got the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, whether Lin Mo could become an alchemist would have nothing to do with him.

Lin Mo said: "I have tested my attributes, there is no problem."

Gut didn't waste any time and took a test crystal from the shelf behind him and put it on the table.

"Put your hand over here."

Lin Mo looked at the transparent crystal ball in front of him and covered it with both hands without any hesitation.

After a brief silence, the crystal ball suddenly emitted a dazzling flame, and a burning fireball appeared in the crystal ball.

However, within the fireball, one can clearly see a hint of green, representing vitality.

"Yes, you do have the talent of an alchemist." Gu Te nodded and put away the crystal ball.

Gu Te is obsessed with collecting all kinds of rare treasures. In his heart, this is much more important than the skills of a pharmacist.

The alchemist's skills were passed on, so he didn't care. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed at the third level for so many years despite having a good talent for alchemy.

Gut's heart was not focused on refining medicine.

When he had free time, he would tinker with some strange and exotic medicines, such as the black powder attack that Lin Mo encountered when he first entered the house.

Although the black powder is not poisonous, if it gets on your skin, it will make you extremely itchy, and even washing with water will be useless.

But this does not mean that Gut has no strength. As the elder brother of Dan King Gu He, in fact, when he was young, it was he who led Gu He to the path of alchemy.

Gut didn't want to take advantage of Lin Mo. Now that Lin Mo really had the talent of an alchemist, he finally accepted the Ice Spirit Flame Grass in Lin Mo's hand with confidence.

"Let me make it clear in advance that there is no master-disciple relationship between you and me. I am responsible for teaching you the knowledge about alchemy, only because I accepted the Ice Spirit Flame Grass from you. This is a deal." Gut transplanted the Ice Spirit Flame Grass back to a medicinal garden in the house, turned to look at Lin Mo, and spoke.

"Yes." Lin Mo replied.
