Never Thought It Was Forever Chapter 4

"The registration fee is one hundred gold coins!" Looking at those majestic fonts, Jarvis wished he didn't recognize them at all.

A penny can make a hero fall, the ancients were right.

Along the way, their wallets were almost cleaner than their faces!

Noah turned his head to look at his brother, raised his hand and flicked his forehead, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't look so sad, I'll take care of the gold coin issue."

"Well, I don't have a bitter face." Jarvis covered his forehead with his hands, with a hint of helplessness in his voice. He was just expressing his emotion.

Sure enough, even the major colleges that serve as another way out for independent cultivators still have very high barriers to entry.

One hundred gold coins is just the registration fee. If you fail the academy's test, I don't know whether the registration fee of one hundred gold coins will be refunded.

Noah’s solution was to be a mercenary for a period of time.

Mercenary is also a profession in the East Continent. Most of the cultivators who become mercenaries are ordinary people. If they want to obtain spirit crystals, they will constantly search for them in various mountains, or accept missions to get the rewards they want.

When you are short of money, mercenaries are indeed an option that can make money quickly, but benefits come with risks, and mercenaries also have the highest mortality rate every year.

There are still three months left before the annual registration for Tianxing Academy, which is enough time for him to get the registration fee for Xiaoyan. The hands hanging by his side gradually clenched, Noah lowered his eyes, and his gaze was firm.

"Brother, I'll go with you." After learning about his eldest brother's idea, Jarvis's first reaction was to disagree. However, his brother was determined to go, and no matter how he tried to persuade him, it was useless. In the end, he could only let him go.

"No, you stay here."

"elder brother..."

"The minimum requirement to join the mercenary group is to be a spiritual master. You can't go." Noah had a stern face for once. It was obvious that he also understood the danger involved, so he never thought of fighting alone.

"...!" Well, as a spiritualist with only the third-level cultivation, he is still too useless.

"Don't think too much. Big brother doesn't mean to belittle you." Seeing the young man suddenly silent, Noah thought that his tone was too harsh and he couldn't help feeling a little apologetic.

Taking in his expression, Jarvis felt a little helpless. He really wasn't a glass heart and wouldn't be hit so easily.

"I know, brother is thinking about me." Jarvis gave up the idea of   going along. He didn't think of this in his anxiety just now. With his current cultivation level, if he must go along, it is hard to say whether he can help or not. There is a great possibility that he will become a burden.

After settling Jarvis down, Noah left without looking back. Before leaving, he gently hugged his brother and said only one sentence, "Don't worry, I will come back safely."

This is Noah's promise. As the eldest brother, he should provide a support for his younger brothers.

Watching the young man's figure gradually disappear into the distance until he could no longer see him, Jarvis suddenly felt a little sad.

"Little grass, you're the only one with me again." The young man took out a small brick-red basin and gently poked the leaves of the grass with his fingers.

As if it understood what he said, the small leaves gently stroked his fingers.

"You are really smart, little guy." Feeling the gentle touch from the fingertips, the little sadness in Jarvis's heart disappeared in an instant, and he turned his attention to looking at the grass.

Jarvis didn’t think it was strange that a grass was so spiritual. If he could come here, what else could be impossible?

Ancheng, Jarvis rented a yard here to live temporarily. The reason for choosing this place is probably because it is not close to the main city of Yuecheng, so the prices are acceptable to him.

Even if he had never been to Yuecheng, he knew that the prices there would not be cheap, and what he lacked most right now was money.

"It would be great if I could learn how to make pills." The young man sitting alone in the yard held his chin with both hands and muttered to himself.

If you were to ask what professions were the most popular in the East Continent, they would be the alchemists and beast tamers. The former could refine a variety of elixirs to help people practice, while the latter could tame and contract monsters.

The Ye family does have a collection of books on alchemy, but if one wants to become an alchemist, it is not enough to just learn the skills, one also needs talent.

At this point, we have to talk about summoning spirits. What is summoning spirits? According to books, people are born with spirits, which is a privilege bestowed by God on humans. As long as the spirit in the body is awakened and the spirit chamber is opened, one can enter the path of cultivation.

The spirit room is where cultivators store spiritual energy. As their cultivation level increases, the spirit room will also become larger.

This is the saying that has been passed down, but Jarvis doesn’t understand the real reason now.

Everyone’s spirit is different and can take all kinds of shapes.

Jarvis’s soul is a ball of white mist like a cloud.

And... Jarvis's spirit is a little strange. The spirit can be displayed, but other people's can only be seen but not touched, while his... can be touched!

It's a story about a person who was itching to poke his own soul, but ended up being shocked by what he actually did.

Subconsciously, Jarvis did not tell anyone about this, not even his parents or his elder brother.

He still felt somewhat worried and uncertain. Was this difference a good thing or a bad thing? Could it be that because he was not originally from this world, his soul had also undergone a change?

Therefore, Jarvis concealed this situation and planned to find out first whether there was any precedent for his situation.

Although he followed the path of Long Aotian before the age of nine, he was not so stupid as to tell everything, especially the fact that he was reborn with all his memories, which would not let people notice at all.

Soil cultivation can be divided into pre-innate and post-innate. Pre-innate means that a person's spirit is born with a form, objects, plants, animals, various elements, etc.

For example, if the spirit is a blade of grass, its owner will be more adept at learning wood-related skills than others. If it is a ball of fire, it will also be easier for it to master fire-related skills. This is a person with early talent.

But it doesn't mean that you can only learn what your spirit is. It can only be said that it is easier to upgrade by focusing on one system than developing multiple systems. This is the experience accumulated by our ancestors from generation to generation. After all, human energy is limited.

Then the gifted one is a spirit without a specific form, and it will slowly transform in the later stage according to the practice method of its owner.

Therefore, most alchemists first cultivate the earth with talents related to fire. Even if their talents are not related to fire, they will also practice this kind of skills specifically. After all, the most important thing in alchemy is to control fire.

The first martial art Jarvis learned was from the wood element, Qingmu Jue. Considering that he was young at the time, his clan selected martial arts with the gentlest attributes for him.

As for why Jarvis, who was obviously a late-born talent, was valued by the family and regarded as the pride of the Ye family, a big reason was that he successfully summoned a spirit when he was only one year old! Before that, the earliest person who successfully summoned a spirit was five years old.

Therefore, even though he was a latecomer, he still received attention from the family. Later, Jarvis used his actions to tell everyone that even if he was not an earlycomer, his cultivation speed was not inferior to that of others.

Once the idea of   making money by refining pills came to his mind, Jarvis couldn't hold back any longer.

Perhaps because the unexpected events had damaged his foundation, his current cultivation speed was very slow. It was impossible for him to become a combat spirit master at the moment, so he couldn't just hang himself on a tree.

He was previously developing into a spiritual plant master because he was blind and couldn't make pills, but now it's different, his eyes are healed.

"It seems I have to buy an alchemy furnace." After thinking for a while, Jarvis came up with an idea.

He didn't really intend to give up practicing, but there must be something wrong with him, so he had to find a reliable healer, and the prerequisite for all this was spirit crystals. The more powerful the healer, the more spirit crystals he had to pay.

Although the Ye family had hired many therapists to check his body before, it would be strange for humans to easily believe in fate.

Jarvis thought, it would be fine if he wasn't allowed to follow the path of Long Aotian, but he couldn't let him follow the path of a waste!

He doesn't ask for much, just to be able to practice normally.

The next day, Jarvis went to the Weapon Pavilion, where various magical instruments were sold.

Magical weapons are also divided into grades. Jarvis came to the white-level area on his own initiative. The magical weapons here are all of the lowest grade.

(Note: The levels of magic tools are also divided into white, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and gold.)

The waiter in charge of the white area looked up at Jarvis and said, "Please look around. If you see anything you like, please let me know." After saying this, he went back to doing his own thing.

Jarvis didn't feel he was being neglected. He responded and went to look for an alchemy furnace. Due to limited funds, he could only make do with the lowest quality one.

"This alchemy furnace is so ugly..." Jarvis touched it and tapped it twice with his knuckles. Although he knew that this would not determine the quality of an alchemy furnace, perhaps it was out of habit and he had to touch everything first.

Jarvis's voice was very soft, and perhaps only he knew what he said. He was not a fool, so of course he would not say it out loud.

After looking at several in a row, Jarvis was not very satisfied with any of them, but thinking of his own wallet, he still chose one that was barely acceptable.

Expensive things look good, but unfortunately he can't afford them.

Jarvis was about to call the waiter over when he was interrupted by a voice.

"...Jarvis? Am I seeing things? It's really you." A young man walked towards Jarvis's direction with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Are... your eyes okay?" the man continued without waiting for Jarvis to reply.

Jarvis had an indifferent expression as he swept his eyes over the young man.

Finn Ye, a descendant of the Ye family, was overshadowed by his side branch, so he had always been dissatisfied with him and opposed him everywhere.

When he saw Jarvis for the first time, Finn thought he was seeing things. How come this young man looked so much like Jarvis? You have to know that Jarvis has become a blind man and a useless person, how could he appear here?

After the first glance, then the second, the third... the more I looked, the more he looked like some annoying guy.

Even though they haven't seen each other for six years, he wouldn't mistake the person!

"Why aren't you talking? Has your eyes healed and you become mute again?" Seeing that the young man ignored him, Finn moved closer with a hint of mockery in his tone.
