Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 110 Universal Seed
“It might be the crystallization of the soul!
It is also the embodiment of the innate essence."

Roy recalled his previous conjecture about the nature of personhood.

Spiritual concentration...

This could explain a lot.

And now, he has a new and deeper understanding.

For example, the "alchemical talent" that one has obtained should be the crystallization of the "saturation" of some invisible spiritual existence.

This is close to the concept of the Philosopher's Stone.

"Let's consider it a kind of philosopher's stone. I think the process of obtaining it is also a kind of refining?
Can this increased source of talent be considered a kind of soul tempering?

To become a full-fledged wizard, one must essentially complete the sublimation of the soul...

Could it be achieved through this method? "

He suddenly became excited.

Because the more I think about it, the more it makes sense!
During the development of alchemy, the raw materials turned black, decomposed, became source materials, and then transformed and synthesized... to produce new substances.

This is a basic step.

Before the Philosopher's Stone appeared, there was a concept called "seed".

This is the core of a snowflake or pearl, and the previous experience of collecting crystals from the Holy Lake is also related to it.

For example, to refine gold, you need to add the "seed" of gold, and to refine other substances, you need to add the "seed" of other substances.

Even the birth of life often requires "seeds"...

you get what you sow.

He now suddenly realized that the different talents he had were related to this "seed".

The philosopher's stone is also a "seed".

It is both a kind of crystallized classification and an ultimate creation.

Its essence, perhaps, is...

"Universal Seed"!
……

After this, some time passed.

Ivant and others brought Roy some chalk soil and various inexplicable treasures.

Some of them were useless, so Roy just treated them as training for the Eye of Hermes.

But there are others that do have an improvement effect.

He materialized his innate source material again and saw a lot of similar sesame-sized fragments.

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (0% → 35%)]

In order to verify his guess, Roy spared no expense, spending more than 1 magic stones to purchase various materials.

After such a period of processing, many treasures that have flowed out of the Cretaceous Kingdom will eventually flow into the market.

Those who obtain the treasures see it clearly and think it through, and still want to trade them.

That will be my chance!
……

Time gradually came to June.

Another day, Roy, who had just finished the inter-dimensional communication, returned to the classroom and met with Andov, Dahmer and others to chat about various things.

"Centaurs are good at horseback archery, but their magic skills are not well developed, and they don't have any decent supernatural powers."

"Those so-called heroes are the descendants of demigods from the mythological era, as well as various ancient bloodlines?"

"No wonder bloodline wizards are interested in them. It turns out they're all interested in bloodline."

"That's right. That's why their cultural customs also highly respect bloodline, and they even established a caste system based on clans..."

"No matter what, we Vizell are the superiors."

They are now preparing to go to Knightland and continue to improve their understanding of the language, writing, and cultural customs there.

In addition, there are also various preparations for war.

"Unconsciously, I have been here for three years..."

Roy listened to everyone discussing these topics, but seemed a little absent-minded.

Because he was still thinking about his previous guess.

Regardless, I had to verify it. It was very likely related to my chances of promotion!
……

After the party, Roy returned to his residence.

As it turned out, there was an apprentice waiting at the door, who looked like he had been waiting there for a while.

When he saw Roy coming back, he quickly came forward and said respectfully, "Senior Roy."

Roy glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

The apprentice pulled out a strangely shaped finger from his pocket and said, "This is something I just found. Do you like it?"

It was a scaly finger that looked a bit like a lizard, giving him a faint feeling between his eyebrows.

"I'm very satisfied. How about giving you 800 magic stones?"

Roy pondered for a moment and gave an estimate.

"Really? Thank you so much, Senior!"

The apprentice was a little surprised and spoke quickly.

"If you come across something similar in the future, just find it for me as usual."

Roy nodded, but did not take it immediately. Instead, he took out a piece of leather from his space ring and instructed the other party.

"Rewrap it first."

The apprentice thought Roy found this thing disgusting, so he didn't think much about it and quickly did as he was told.

……

After sending the other person away, Roy opened the door and entered the residence.

Alchemy room, in front of the operating table.

He carefully untied the leather, pinched the finger, and carefully felt the slight tingling sensation between his eyebrows.

This time, he did the opposite and focused his attention not on the fingers in front of him, but on the center of his eyebrows.

"If my previous conjecture about the 'seed' is correct, I should be able to make full use of its crystallization."

Sure enough, something strange happened.

He sensed the spiritual induction emanating from his brows.

That spirit was like a beam of invisible light, and also like the gravity of a black hole.

Roy could clearly sense something flying up from above his fingers, condensing into points of light.

After that, it begins to solidify into sesame-sized crumbs.

But just when that thing approached the body and wanted to merge into the center of the eyebrows.

Roy used his mind to stop it.

"Success!"

This was the first time he truly felt this source of talent, but he did not absorb it immediately!

"So that's it, my guess was right!
Its essence is really the philosopher's stone!
But I've never seen it in any books, there's no relevant record...

Perhaps, based on certain theories, it can be named "Talent Seed"!
What he could absorb and utilize was the source material related to his alchemical talent.

But the source material is not just about alchemical talent, it also has many other areas, such as the materials for making synthetic souls.

That leans towards "soul seeds".

In addition, there may be "spiritual power seeds", "life energy seeds", and various other seeds.

This will all fall within the realm of the Philosopher's Stone.

With the "seeds" and the infusion of "spirituality", they will take root, sprout, thrive, and even bear "fruits".

That’s roughly the whole process.

"Don't worry about that for now, just focus on the talent seed!
With this breakthrough, we can master the creation of at least one Philosopher's Stone!"

Roy used his mental power to observe and lock onto it, carefully discerning its changes.

As thoughts flow, the "seed" is forged and shaped, and even completely solidified.

A crystal block is formed.
