Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 6 The Four Ultimate
In the classroom, most people looked focused and serious, taking notes continuously.

Roy also perked up and took notes quickly.

Because of his talent in alchemy, he has already determined the direction of his efforts, which is to become an alchemist in the wizarding world!

Only in this area can he receive blessings and possess great advantages.

The wizarding world has absorbed the ancient mysterious art of alchemy, and today, it has summarized four major branches, corresponding to the "four ultimates".

One of them is "Alchemy", the ultimate goal of which is the perfect potion - the universal elixir Azoth.

Its effects include but are not limited to rejuvenation, eternal youth, immortality, and even making someone fall in love with oneself...

It is a conceptual collection of human ambitions and desires that can "cure all diseases", "relieve all worries", and even "realize all wishes", even the legendary "regret medicine" is included.

The second is "Creation", which includes various magical weapons, strange objects and magical equipment, and the ultimate goal is the artifact.

The legendary magic ring, the brave sword and the like are all in this branch, and they are also indispensable magical props in many adventure stories.

The third is "Creativity", the ultimate goal of which is artificial life, especially human-like existence.

Among them, the results of organic matter and bionic witchcraft have long been mastered by wizards, who can refine flesh and blood puppets that look like living people.

The singing and dancing puppets created by the Eastern Yanshi and the artificial life form Homunculus created by the Western alchemists are representatives of this type of technology.

But one thing, involving the soul and wisdom, is still considered to be the exclusive domain of the creator god level.

The fourth is "Magic Crystal Science", the ultimate goal of which is the Philosopher's Stone.

This is an idealized divine object that is said to be a catalyst that can transform ordinary metals into precious metals, such as gold, or a material for making panaceas.

It has been given many beautiful names, such as the stone from heaven, the raw material of gold and silver, the fifth element, the philosopher's stone, the ruby ​​and the philosopher's stone.

In different legends and myths, it takes various forms, including solid, liquid or powder, and is usually red like blood. It also has special forms such as alcohol and water of life.

“It’s unrealistic to achieve the four ultimate goals all at once. Alchemists in the wizarding world have created many unexpected products during their exploration.

It's like wanting to refine the golden elixir, but inventing gunpowder...

Witches brew witch soup and refine panaceas, and products such as "Transfiguration Potion", "Poison Potion" and "Love Potion" are born.

Wizards use witchcraft to create Homonkuluz, and they may also refine various witch beasts and puppets.

These failed products are increasing, forming a huge and complex alchemical system."

Suddenly, Roy had an idea.

"So, the Philosopher's Stone is the origin of alchemy and the key to opening the door to other branches?

Theoretically, the magic stone used in daily transactions can also be regarded as a philosopher's stone in a broad sense.

It can be transformed and exchanged for other alchemical products, as long as the price is high enough..."

The pen in his hand suddenly paused, and he realized something.

"Confused Roy!

There's no faster way to make money than to earn it!"

……

After class, in the library.

Roy entered the lending area as an apprentice, found a few related books, and took them back to his residence to read.

"Cinnabar crystals, crystal essence, amalgam, mica..."

He began to understand one mineral and crystalline material and product after another.

“My most pressing problem now, and the one that needs to be solved the most, is actually the lack of money.

The qualifications are too poor, and can only be supplemented by resources..."

Similar to the last-minute solution, the wizarding world has many ways to solve these problems. However, each one costs money and consumes resources and opportunities.

A lot of magic stones are essential.

This material, commonly used in the wizarding world, is essentially a spiritual medium created during the exploration of the Philosopher's Stone. It is also a catalyst required for many rituals and alchemical formulas.

It does not rely on a specific institution to issue it, but follows a universal pricing standard.

Many people can refine it, but it is often consumed in large quantities by various spellcasting and refining activities.

Maybe I can try to refine it myself.

After returning to his residence, Roy took out the magic stone and continued to ponder.

The materials needed to refine magic stones are quartz, crystal, cinnabar, diatomaceous earth, etc., but more importantly, it is to inject witchcraft energy into it.

In essence, it is also a kind of magic.

During their conquest of other worlds, wizards discovered that there were alternatives such as magic crystal ore, psychic stones, and elemental stones.

As long as it contains magic power in a broad sense, it can be used as raw material.

This is also the origin of its name.

“The steps to refining magic stone are actually not complicated. It mainly involves taking quartz crystals or stone components to carry witchcraft energy.

As for cinnabar, the mercury decomposed during the smelting process is used as a catalyst to integrate the witchcraft energy into the carrier. This step must strictly follow the witchcraft guidance and cannot directly use the finished metal mercury..."

A lot of related knowledge emerged in Roy's mind, and his understanding became deeper and deeper.

Continue learning and preparing materials in this way.

After some time passed.

Roy felt that he had mastered the formula for refining magic stones.

“We’ve finally reached this point…

Anyway, give it a try!"

Roy put the prepared quartz, crystal, diatomaceous earth and other materials into the reactor one by one.

Next, add cinnabar.

Then add the crushed magic stone powder.

In just half a minute, it was fired into a paste-like substance similar to red-hot glass.

While they were still warm, Roy poured them into the mold and compacted them, then placed them under the magic circle that had been set up in advance on the alchemy table to inject magic power and perform more precise balancing operations.

After a short while, a batch of magic stones the size of fingers, in the shape of white stones with a surface as smooth as jade were successfully refined.

In fact, this process is not difficult. Even a mediocre alchemist can boldly follow the instructions and give it a try.

But the bad thing is that it is just a copycat.

There are many things in this world that our eyes and brains think they have learned, but once we start to do them, we find that they make no sense at all.

The same recipe, even if all the steps are clearly written there, may not necessarily produce a good taste.

What’s more, alchemy is much more complicated?
However, at this time, Roy once again felt the magic of the Black Iron-level talent [Skilled Worker].

It is like a cheat, allowing you to directly skip the two major barriers of beginner and entry and enter the state of proficiency.

Moreover, the success rate is doubled!
He used his mental power to investigate and picked out several pieces with low or high witchcraft energy and discarded them as waste, preparing to re-refine them in the future.

The final number of qualified finished products obtained was 115.
