Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 46: Talent Essence
"Blood mercury is truly magical!"

Roy saw it and was genuinely happy.

Zabir Magic Gold mainly consists of seven families: gold, silver, lead, mercury, tin, iron, and copper.

Among them, the mercury family has a classic formula with liquefaction properties similar to mercury.

This is a liquid metal that is often used as blood in alchemical life forms such as androids in the alchemical science of creation.

Its external properties are similar to those of mercury, hence the name "blood mercury".

Roy suddenly had an idea and thought of using this "artificial blood" to wash and replace Rainien's blood.

But in fact, it is not a proper way of detoxification, but a witch body transformation!
This kind of thing is quite difficult to refine. If I hadn't obtained the bronze-level talent of [Sulfur and Mercury Theory], it would be impossible for me to do it at my current level.

You have to at least be a formal wizard before you are qualified to start exploring.

But conversely, it can also be inferred that it is very useful during the apprenticeship stage.

"Change it for yourself later!"

As Roy pondered this, Rainien greeted him, "Thank you so much, Roy."

Roy came to his senses and waved his hand: "You don't have to thank me. Just pay the fee later, 200 magic stones will be enough. I should thank you for your patronage."

Renien's face turned pale. "This is too expensive! The antidote can't cost 200!"

Roy said, "What antidote? I injected you with blood mercury!"

"What? Blood mercury!"

Renien said in shock.

"This thing is blood mercury. You actually know how to refine it?"

Everyone watching was also surprised.

"Blood mercury can be imbued with magical energy, greatly increasing the human body's upper limit of mana."

"It can also replace native blood and have the function of puppet transformation."

"This... this is really expensive!"

This kind of thing is not easy to obtain during the apprentice stage. I didn’t expect Roy to be able to refine it.

Renien quickly did the math and agreed.

The cost of each milliliter of blood mercury, plus the cost of the accompanying blood transfusion service, is around 2 magic stones.

But on the market, it has to at least double.

He just consumed about 100 milliliters of blood mercury, but Roy only charged him 200 magic stones, which was exactly the cost price!
……

After more than a day, everyone returned to the Wu Tower safely and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oren didn't catch up!"

"It seems he can no longer care about us and really let us go!"

But then, worries inevitably arise.

"I'm afraid I'll have to stay out of the spotlight."

"There are many apprentices in the tower, but he could have found out through various means that we were there."

"It would be terrible if someone remembered me!"

Roy's thinking was more profound and comprehensive.

“Letting it go at that time doesn’t mean letting it go forever.

You can regret it even if you let it go!"

Renien said, "Forget it, forget it. Let's ignore all those bad things and do something pleasant!"

"By the way, divide the harvest!"

“Share the profits, share the profits!”

Andov and Tigro echoed this.

This time, we successfully killed the Murloc Lord, avenged our hatred, and gained a lot of benefits.

It all depends on this to wash away the bad luck.

Roy suggested, "I won't participate in the distribution of the other things we harvested this time. How about just taking this Lord-level fish bead and the eye?"

In theory, their value should be several times that of an ordinary Warlock Fish Pearl. However, he was the main force in killing the Murloc Lord, so it was fair.

So everyone agreed.

Roy did not participate in the remaining distribution, and was even too lazy to preside over it, leaving it to everyone to discuss it on their own.

His mind is now full of the inexplicably skyrocketing panel progress.

"Why……

Why would killing that Murloc Lord bring such rewards? "

Roy returned to his room and took a shower and changed his clothes while thinking.

In fact, he had some vague guesses on his way back.

"[Essence]!"

Roy muttered the term silently, thinking of what he had learned in the Witch Tower.

In alchemy, a single, indivisible substance is usually called the original substance, and by extension, the source substance.

It is a concept at the origin level and also the basic element that constitutes matter and spirit.

Therefore, anything that can enhance my soul and feed back to the upper level, manifesting as spirit, knowledge and memory, can be called innate source quality.

After it coalesces, it forms a soul-like quality, which is the essence of alchemical talent!"

The first principle of alchemy is equivalent exchange, which also means that matter and energy can neither appear nor disappear out of thin air.

Even if it seems like there's nothing to rely on...

In the invisible depths, there are often mysterious exchanges that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Moreover, this exchange is generally balanced.

Coming out of the bathroom, Roy sat on a chair and watched his rat snake slowly crawling over. He grabbed it in his hand and played with it.

The rat snake coiled around his arm, looking at him with a gloomy gaze.

Roy stroked the rat snake and began to feed it, guessing that the soul of the murloc lord had some special features, and after death, the essence was released and absorbed and utilized by him.

This is one of the reasonable explanations.

"However, it is also possible that this thing is causing trouble!"

He quickly remembered something and took something out and put it on the table.

He named it "Thunder Eye".

It was the eye that the Murloc Lord dug out from his palm.

"The moment I got it, I felt a tingling sensation. That might be caused by the integration of the soul's essence!"

Pulling aside the rat snake that was crawling towards his eyeball, trying to sniff and see if he could swallow it, Roy looked at the demonized organ again and found that the abnormal tingling sensation between his eyebrows was gone.

But he still felt some extraordinary magic from it.

"We might have found a real treasure this time. This is definitely not something that an apprentice or a monster should have. It must have come from the Cretaceous Country!"

However, he still had no idea how to fully control this thing and bring out its intended effect.

Roy felt that even the Murloc Lord had not fully exerted his power.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be killed so easily.

"Forget it, let's take care of another thing first!"

Roy put away his magic eye, coiled the rat snake on the clothes hanger next to him, entered the alchemy room, and took out a large jar of mercury stored in the cabinet.

It is like a bright silver metal ingot, smooth and shiny, and its surface clearly reflects the surrounding environment.

"Refine blood mercury and transform the witch body!"

Roy's face showed a serious look.

Provoking Oren for no reason gave him a sense of crisis.

However, by transforming one's own body with blood mercury, one can become immune to most toxins transmitted through the blood.

Moreover, this is something that comes from the bronze-level talent [Sulfur and Mercury Theory], which is of great value to me at this stage.

Maybe you can become stronger quickly through it!
