Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 111: Practicing the Motto
This crystal is also only the size of a sesame seed. When illuminated by spiritual power, it exhibits properties different from those of ordinary magic treasures.

The aura it possesses is a transparent, colorless glow, a bit like a mirage or a heat wave above a flame.

Only when you concentrate can you notice the gray-black iron luster.

According to Roy's guess, this aura, which was different from that of ordinary treasures, indicated a "Black Iron Grade" "status" rather than a "first-level magic treasure" or the like.

Roy held it in his hand and played with it for a while with some joy.

Then, control the thoughts and absorb and utilize them like ordinary source material.

Multitasking (Iron)

[When performing apprentice-level alchemy operations, you can distract yourself from other tasks without reducing your success rate]

"It's a talent that's neither good nor bad, but it's better than nothing." Roy just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it.

What he really cares about is the panel changes.

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (35%)]

"really!"

He became more and more certain of the guess in his heart!

“In vitro crystallization does not affect it!

If I use the method of refining the Philosopher's Stone to perform in vitro crystallization, it will be more conducive to the collection and utilization of the innate essence!"

Doing so is certainly not a waste of effort, but rather has great benefits.

For example, prepare carriers of different ranks and sizes, collect them in the form of "talent seeds", and even use various crystals such as quartz, glass, jade, and gems to give it entity!
This will touch upon the ultimate goal of "Magic Crystal Studies" - the refining of the Philosopher's Stone.

It will also completely change the way you acquire alchemical talent!

Suddenly, Roy became excited.

Because of a sudden burst of inspiration, he gradually confirmed the answer to the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

The practice of the wizard's motto...

You can also achieve this through it!

……

Roy left his residence and went to another laboratory that he had rented for a long time.

That is where the stone carvings were previously stored.

Just then, Stowson from the carving class came over leading a real horse. When he saw him, he hurried forward to greet him.

“Senior Roy, at your request, we have prepared this healthy adult male horse.

Also, I've already bought the human soul that I bought specifically at the Wuta shop."

As he spoke, he took out a crystal ball the size of an egg.

Roy took it and looked at it, and found a candle-sized flame flickering inside.

What it seals is the spiritual thing stripped out from the human soul.

Among all kinds of witchcraft, there are many evil spells that play with souls.

For the Vizel civilization, which has pushed the forbidden experiment to the stage of "creating souls", witchcraft like detaining souls is a piece of cake.

"Speaking of which, souls are the hard currency of all planes and worlds."

Roy suddenly remembered something and said with emotion.

"No, the gods are collecting souls, absorbing the faith within them, and cultivating the Holy Spirit.

The devil is collecting souls, extracting the malice and obsession within them, and reincarnating them into the same kind.

High-level wizards and mages also collect souls for various research purposes...

However, what we can access now is not a complete soul in the true sense.

It’s just scraps and leftovers at best.”

Stowson echoed.

Roy nodded.

Although there is no such thing as three souls and seven spirits in this world, the spirituality that makes up the soul can be torn apart, creating this kind of incomplete wandering soul.

It's like the relationship between a torch and a bonfire. Each torch represents a wandering soul.

Only when it is concentrated can it become the complete soul fire.

Of course, the only items that could end up in the Wuta shop and be sold to apprentices were the lowest-end defective products.

They tend to be fragmented and separated pieces.

This type of residual soul is divided into different qualities according to the spiritual purity and total amount.

What Roy wants now is relatively good, but it is only worth about 500 magic stones.

He looked at it for a while and called to Stuart: "You will be my assistant. Next, we will conduct the soul splicing experiment..."

Stuart responded and got busy.

In this room, an auxiliary array platform several meters square has been prepared.

The huge antique stone slab is inlaid with magic stones that provide witchcraft energy, and the patterns on it are spliced to form a formation of triangular symbols within a circle.

The center contains a large number of runes symbolizing synthesis and smelting.

……

After a while, the basic preparations were completed.

Roy opened his eyes and stood up from his meditation seat.

Also started my own busy life.

What he was about to do now was the first method of making golems that Frost had mentioned.

"Synthetic Soul"!
To put it simply, it is like two torches coming together to form a larger torch.

"The alchemical life I created last time, powered by the Activation Technique, used my thoughts and consciousness to simulate a soul, creating a weak intelligent body.

If one could utilize the souls of humans and horses to infuse them with spirituality, it would grant them greater potential.

Specifically, it can accommodate more activation energy, possess higher intelligence, and even have the possibility of other mutations and developments!"

In fact, Roy had another vague idea, that is, combining the "talent seeds" he had recently studied, he might achieve higher alchemical achievements.

In the past two months, he has also gradually improved the "talent seed" theory he had previously conjectured.

"Perhaps, here lies the key to fulfilling the motto...

I need to practice this thing called 'the first principle of alchemy is equal exchange'!"

Equivalent exchange...

Although according to the Wuta course, this matter is indeed true.

However, due to cognitive issues, it is normal to not believe everything or even to oppose it.

The key is understanding!

Different perspectives will lead to different cognitions.

With the guidance of his teacher, Roy gradually realized that the reason he was stuck in a bottleneck was indeed because he failed to have full faith.

A big part of the reason why we fail to fully believe it is because of this cognition and understanding.

Whether it is a correct understanding or an incorrect understanding.

It has not yet established its own set of belief logic and alchemical concepts.

He intended to verify it through experiments concerning life and soul.

The specific design is to use the attempt of slaughtering horses and refining golems to guide the mind and soul to understand the concept of equivalent exchange.

In this way, the "seed of talent" is condensed and manifested.

Unlike the passive absorption and utilization in the past, he also wants to use an active approach to further promote its formation.

In other words, the progress of [Alchemy Talent Acquisition] must be pushed to 100%.

Actively cultivate alchemy talent!

This is essentially the process of refining the Philosopher's Stone.

At that time, integrating it into your soul will be equivalent to deep cognition and understanding.
