Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 368 People? Where are they? I don't see anyone!

Having a guilty conscience is one thing.

It's a different story if you can't give up what you've already got.

After bidding a reluctant farewell to Jiang Yi, Qiao Bai finally took a closer look at the golden-brown purse in his hand.

Untie the drawstring at the top.

Qiao Bai pulled out a... pot?

Qiao Bai: "?"

Although it had been suspected for a long time.

But when a pot actually escaped, Qiao Bai's eyes widened in surprise.

"space?"

This thing actually exists?

Or did it appear more than three thousand years ago?

Qiao Bai was bewildered in the wind.

What's wrong?

But this technology has actually regressed, hasn't it!

Qiao Bai couldn't help but pinch his arm.

Yep.

It hurts.

It's unlikely that he's dreaming.

Looking again at the palm-sized purse in his hand, Qiao Bai found it interesting.

"Is this alchemy?" Qiao Bai said, stroking his chin.

Why does it feel more like magic or a spell?

Hard to say.

For those who don't understand the underlying principles, alchemy and magic are indeed not that different.

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai nodded.

"It seems we still need to go to a larger town."

A person is in the middle of nowhere.

Let's not worry about whether this world is real or fake.

Without contact with other people, there's no way to gain a deeper understanding, and therefore no way to develop the main storyline.

This is not a good solution.

Tana Town?

Or is it Ande City?

There are only two suitable options.

Qiao Bai thought about it again and again and still felt that this was not the case.

"Let's wander around the nearby towns and see if we can hear more news."

Qiao Bai stuffed all the apples into his purse.

There is no problem at all.

Qiao Bai gave it a try.

I feel like I could fit even more stuff in there.

I'm a little tempted.

How about... some more apple grass?

Qiao Bai didn't care about the various disdain Jiang Yi had shown towards Pingcao before.

Is it related to him?

No!

He thinks this thing is valuable, that's all that matters!

Just do it.

Qiao Bai acted decisively.

After harvesting a considerable amount of apple grass, Qiao Bai finally stopped, satisfied.

No matter how much we harvest later, having these apples makes it all worthwhile.

The rest...

Take your time!

Anyway, he's not in a hurry!

……

Gathering information is a skill.

Qiao Bai couldn't say he was good at it.

However, Qiao Bai is not without advantages.

That is—his talent as an alchemist.

Qiao Bai: "?"

cough cough.

It's a bit embarrassing to say.

Relying solely on talent for a living... but this method works!

No matter what problems or difficulties we face.

The problem is solved instantly by simply revealing his identity as an apprentice alchemist.

That's not all.

The attitude of ordinary people towards him changed instantly.

but……

Qiao Bai looked at the dilapidated thatched hut in front of him. Even though there was hardly any food left, he still took out the last food in the house to treat his family of four.

Qiao Bai let out another long sigh.

This damned, cannibalistic era!

Qiao Bai stopped the woman, who was only in her thirties but already looked like an elderly woman.

"No need, I'm just passing by."

Qiao Bai said softly.

There are very few records about the era before the arrival of Warcraft.

The history books of this world mostly describe the struggles between our ancestors and monsters after their appearance.

Qiao Bai subconsciously assumed that...

Before that, the Chinese nation in this world also faced a feudal dynasty.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Alchemy and alchemy workshops are more of a Western invention.

Qiao Bai was very certain.

This is the land of China, with black hair, black eyes, and Asian features.

So?

where is the problem?

These are not the most important things.

The most important question is... why do the people living on this land with its magical alchemical powers live such a difficult life?

That doesn't seem right, does it?

With such amazing alchemy, shouldn't countries, dynasties, and nations live much easier lives?

Take a deep breath.

Let's set aside our desire to help others for now and focus on respecting our own destiny.

He had no idea why he was in this place!

"I just wanted to ask if there are any large towns around here, like those."

Seeing the old woman who seemed particularly awkward and apprehensive when facing him, Qiao Bai lowered his voice again and asked softly.

Seeing that Qiao Bai truly didn't care, the old woman squinted her eyes and pondered before speaking.

"The towns around here..."

There are quite a few small towns.

"The closest town to us is Shuiping Town. People in the neighborhood usually go there to buy things."

"Then there are towns of all sizes, such as Changyang Town, Tana Town, and Thirty Mile Town."

Qiao Bai nodded in agreement.

He had only heard of Tana Town and Ander City before, and thought that the towns here all had names that sounded more like those in the West.

I didn't answer...

Okay, okay.

Any strange name is possible; he should accept it and get used to it sooner rather than later.

Really.

He already has a spatial pouch, so what is there here that he can't accept or understand?

As she spoke, the old woman cautiously glanced at Qiao Bai's expression.

Nothing has changed.

But he didn't show any satisfaction.

After thinking for a moment, the old woman continued.

"You're an apprentice alchemist... so you probably want to go to a town with a lot of people like yourself, right?"

"Then I would recommend you visit Tana and Thirty Mile, as both towns are said to have very famous alchemy workshops."

"I heard my neighbor's child joined!"

The old woman proudly puffed out her chest.

Qiao Bai: "..."

The child of a relative of the next-door neighbor?

This is a relationship that's as distant as it gets.

"In a bigger city..." Fortunately, the old woman remembered that the person in front of her was a respected apprentice alchemist, not a handyman like the child of a neighbor or relative.

She thought for a moment and continued, "We don't know much about the situation in larger cities."

"But the two largest cities in this area are Ander City and Twin Cities."

"Logically speaking, there should be alchemists and alchemy workshops inside."

The old woman told Qiao Bai everything she knew.

Qiao Bai nodded gratefully.

He took out a round, bronze-colored metal coin from the purse Jiang Yi had given him earlier. Judging from the amount piled up in the purse, it looked like currency. He handed it to the old woman in front of him.

"Thanks."

After saying that, Qiao Bai turned and left before the old woman could react.

withdraw!

Qiao Bai walked very fast.

The old woman didn't even have time to react.

Qiao Bai didn't see that the old woman was tightly gripping the round, bronze-colored metal, her face filled with shock and disbelief.

"This...this...this..." This is far too precious!

Thank you to this unknown young apprentice... Alchemist!

……

"Achoo!"

Qiao Bai, unaware of who was talking about him, sneezed loudly.

He rubbed his nose and muttered to himself.

"I wonder what the situation is like on Li Gan's side."

"If I don't come back soon, will he be scared?"

Tsk.

Qiao Bai sighed as he spoke.

Although, but.

There's nothing he can do about it.

That's all we can do for now.

Let's focus on the present.

Through the old woman's words, Qiao Bai now has two more options.

Thirty-mile Town.

Twin Cities.

Choose one of the four?

No.

Qiao Bai shook his head.

Why do people have to make choices?

Qiao Bai said softly, "I want them all!"

Isn't it just about visiting all four places?

This was not a difficult task for Qiao Bai at all.

After all... he has little jellyfish!

Yes.

The little jellyfish is now about half the size of Joe White.

It's barely good enough to be Qiao Bai's pet for getting around.

Little jellyfish: Happy.jpg

Tentacles dance wildly!

hehehe~

"Based on the distance between the towns, let's go to Tana Town first." With that, Qiao Bai released the little jellyfish and gently patted its head a few times.

He looked at the little jellyfish with gentle eyes and said:

"I'll leave the rest to you."

"na~"

The little jellyfish excitedly waved its pink tentacles.

Give it to the little jellyfish!

You can rest assured and feel at ease!

The little jellyfish extended three tentacles, which twisted and intertwined to form a small hammock shape that could just accommodate one person.

The small jellyfish landed at a suitable height.

Qiao Bai could sit down directly inside.

It doesn't hurt at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu moved even closer and squeezed into Qiao Bai's arms.

Little jellyfish: "..."

I dare not move.

hateful!

Little Wu, the eldest sister, could have flown here by herself!

The little jellyfish murmured but didn't say anything.

Rush!

go ahead!

"Angel, could you please help me determine the direction?" Qiao Bai quickly stopped the little jellyfish from rushing off recklessly, and looked at the "angel" beside him with a smile.

He was entrusted with an important task.

"OK."

Fortunately, the "angel" was very easy to talk to.

Yes.

The old woman did not have a map of the towns and cities.

They relied on word of mouth to find their way around.

map?

It is said that it is sold in the city.

What can Qiao Bai do?

By the time Jiang Yi remembered he still needed a map, he was already gone.

Moreover, he claimed to know nothing about alchemy, which barely managed to fool people.

If you say you don't know anything about the towns around here... then you're not so easy to fool.

"I wonder what the situation is like around the town..." Qiao Bai's mood was not as optimistic as it seemed on the surface.

It's still too early to say.

He's taking it one step at a time.

We'll have to wait and see.

With the "angel" and the little jellyfish exploring together, Qiao Bai naturally didn't encounter anyone else.

As they approached the first town he was heading to, Qiao Bai finally jumped out of the jellyfish's tentacles.

"It's quite soft and comfortable to sit on." Qiao Bai didn't forget to praise the little jellyfish.

It's dried very well.

The little jellyfish happily waved its tentacles.

hehehe~

Although I can't compare to the eldest sister.

but!

It must be the most beloved beast tamer in this family!

Cat Bug: ?

Little White Snake: ?

Have you gotten too cocky, or have we become too weak to wield our knives?

Still thinking about surpassing the old guard?

Little jellyfish: I can't hear you! Jellyfish can't hear anything!

Qiao Bai was completely unaware of the petty squabbles among his pet animals.

He put away the baby jellyfish.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Bai put away Xiao Wu and "Angel" again.

"We don't know the exact situation in this town yet, so we should proceed with caution," Qiao Bai reassured the children.

The "angel" had no objections.

The little crow and the little jellyfish played around for a while.

Qiao Bai successfully coaxed them all.

Then Qiao Bai rummaged through his purse and pulled out a black robe that was the same style as Jiang Yi's, but upon closer inspection, one could see that there were differences.

Sometimes a black robe isn't necessarily just a simple black robe.

There will also be some decorations with the same pattern on it.

For example, what Jiang Yi wore before.

Qiao Bai noticed this.

There are faint golden patterns.

I'm not sure if it's for decorative purposes or something else?

However, the black robe that Qiao Bai took out was very simple and clean.

There was nothing on it.

It really was just a pure black robe.

Qiao Bai had no objection to this; in fact, he was quite satisfied.

It's neither good-looking nor ugly.

It won't cause any trouble he's unaware of.

That would be perfect.

It perfectly matches Qiao Bai's requirements.

Wearing a robe, Qiao Bai appeared to have nothing special about him.

I thought about it.

Qiao Bai still did not release his pet beast.

Although the robe can cover it.

What kind of detection instruments are included?

Caution is the boat.

at last.

Qiao Bai arrived in Tana Town on foot.

Qiao Bai frowned as soon as he stepped inside.

A hard, dusty dirt road.

However, the road is wide.

It is even more spacious than the conventional principles of modern society.

On both sides of the road are residential houses mixed with various shops.

The houses include thatched houses, brick and tile houses, and earthen houses.

Qiao Bai's gaze swept over these buildings one by one.

When Qiao Bai, dressed in a black robe, entered the town, the residents did not show any particular shock.

It seems like this is the most normal thing in the world.

Take two steps forward.

Another person dressed in a black robe appeared.

Qiao Bai: "?"

So, this black robe really is standard attire?

"A newcomer?" The newcomer, dressed in a black robe, had a hoarse voice that didn't sound like that of a kind person.

Qiao Bai remained expressionless.

He never uses stereotypes to judge a person.

But there are always some people who try to instill unnecessary stereotypes into his mind.

"Do you know the rules here?"

As he spoke, the other person reached out his hand from under his robe.

His voice rarely matches hers.

It's all wrinkled.

Dry.

Qiao Bai sighed.

The other party assumed Qiao Bai didn't understand: "An apprentice alchemist, right?"

"If you want to enter Tana Town and learn the alchemy methods here, you have to pay up."

"Understand?"

"If you don't have enough money, good materials will do."

"Let me see it."

Qiao Bai smiled.

I was so angry I laughed.

However, Qiao Bai did not show it on his face, nor did he reveal it in his voice.

No need.

"It's not really appropriate to give it to you here." As he spoke, Qiao Bai looked around, as if he was genuinely considering the person in front of him.
