In Jia Lan's time, the three words "apprentice", "student" and "disciple" did not refer to the same person. Although they all had a "teacher" who disciplined them, their status was very different in the eyes of the teacher.

  "Apprentice" is like a teacher's assistant, working under the teacher's guidance. The teacher will teach them some knowledge needed for the job, but the teacher will not take the initiative to teach them things other than work, and the apprentice has to learn it mainly by himself.

  "Student" is a student taught by the teacher in batches, usually in a place like an academy. Students pay tuition and learn some basic knowledge from the teacher, but the teacher's unique skills or advanced skills will not be easily told to them.

  "Disciple" is like the teacher's child. Because the teacher's energy is limited, there are usually not too many disciples. Disciples do not have to pay tuition to the teacher, but the teacher will take care of their lives, train them well, and let them become their own successors. This relationship is lifelong, sometimes even closer than that of a father and son with blood relations.

  The Brown sisters were stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then shouted happily. Then, they felt that they were a little out of control, and hurriedly bowed to Jia Lan in a panic. If the Browns were at home, they might have run to tell their parents the good news.

  Jialan is just a freshman who has not yet enrolled at "Komo University", so what does it matter?

  Even if he is a freshman at "Komo University", he is also a future magician. Not everyone has the opportunity to become their apprentice. Even if you can't learn mysterious magic, you can learn some skills related to magic, which is enough to make people worry-free for life.

  For civilians like the Brown sisters, there are not many people who can be as lucky as Alan Hogg and persuade a noble to get a recommendation letter.

  In this city of Kolan, how many people want to become apprentices, followers, or even servants of students of "Komo University". Many businessmen are willing to pay to support these students, but they have no chance.

  Moreover, women are at a disadvantage in this regard and are far less popular than male apprentices.

  Suddenly being invited by a future magician, what else can the Brown sisters find picky? Do they still expect real magicians to accept them as apprentices?

  Why are Mr. and Mrs. Brown so warm and kind to Alan, the girl who temporarily lives in their house? Why would they rather leave another room empty than rent it to those annoying people? Is it possible that they are just kind and innocent?

  Seeing Alan smiling and congratulating them, the Brown sisters were happy and surprised, not knowing whether to tell their parents first or serve the new teacher first.

  Jia Lan smiled and comforted them: "Don't worry, you can tell your parents the news formally at dinner. Wait until they agree, and then decide whether to be my apprentice... Now, help me get something first."

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  The Brown sisters ran out in a panic. But the elder sister Jia Sili ran two steps and stopped again, saying awkwardly: "Teacher, I'm sorry! There is no charcoal at home, only firewood. Although there is a clay pot, it is used to make broth. There is a clay pot for water that is relatively clean..."

  Jia Lan was a little speechless after hearing this. Well! Anyway, the conditions are so bad, it doesn't matter if it's a little worse. He nodded. When the sisters brought the simple tools, Jia Lan was a little dumbfounded. The big stove and firewood used for cooking are fine, but the temperature is a little difficult to control. Hemostatic ointment is just an ordinary medicinal material, and does not require too delicate tools.Why are Mr. and Mrs. Brown so warm and kind to Alan, the girl who temporarily lives in their house?

  But what about the big earthenware jar that can hold 20 liters of water?

  Even if he puts all the blood mistletoe vine powder he grinds into it, it won’t be enough, right?

  Which pharmacist would use such a "grand" tool to prepare a potion? Once any detail is not mastered well and leads to failure, the loss will be too great!

  But seeing the pitiful and helpless eyes of the Brown sisters, Jia Lan gritted his teeth and said, who said that a big earthenware jar can’t be used to prepare potions?

  Without a scale or a standard vessel, Jia Lan estimated for a long time, and finally calculated the ratio of powder and auxiliary materials with his relatively rich experience.

  Then, he flicked his fingers, and a blue flame of "spark magic" flew into the hearth filled with firewood and burned quickly.

  A pot... well, it was indeed a pot of water that soon boiled.

  Jia Lan poured a basin of... well, a basin of blood mistletoe vine powder into the soup, and asked the Brown sisters to stir it constantly, and the soup soon turned black and red.

  He kept controlling the heat, adding water, and accurately adding various auxiliary materials according to the heat and cooking time.

  Under his command, Alan kept bringing firewood, sometimes stuffing it into the furnace, and sometimes pulling out burning firewood to reduce the fire. Her pretty little face was soon blackened.

  It took a full three hours. Jia Lan used a large spoon... well, a large spoon to scoop out five purple ointments of different consistencies in five times, and added different amounts of pandan resin as a thickener.

  When everything was done, the four people were exhausted and sweating, and sat on the drying platform, waiting for the five ointments to cool naturally.
