The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 44 Philosopher’s Stone

After leaving the Weasley family, Weasley returned to Hogwarts, where he could concentrate on studying his goal - the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone is the treasure that all alchemists dream of. It can transform ordinary metals into gold and even grant the holder eternal life.

Weiss carefully lifted a Philosopher's Stone and placed it in the warm sunlight.

It’s not quite accurate to say one. The Philosopher’s Stone exists in a very special form. It is neither solid nor liquid. This unique property makes it called the “fifth entity”.

In its brilliant light, Weiss seemed to be able to feel the pain and wailing of the souls imprisoned in the stone.

"You must never use the Philosopher's Stone directly."

Weiss knew that although the Philosopher's Stone had the ability to prolong life, its creation involved the sacrifice of human souls, and these souls, after being transformed into the Philosopher's Stone, were filled with resentment and pain.

If used directly, the resentment of these souls may erupt at some point, causing unpredictable damage to the user.

Unless he talked to them one by one and resolved their resentment like Hohenheim did, but this approach would require a lot of time and energy, and Weiss currently did not have such conditions.

Weiss longs to harness the power of the Philosopher's Stone, but doesn't know how to eliminate the dire consequences of direct use.

"I need to collect all the information related to the Philosopher's Stone." He muttered to himself.

The Philosopher's Stone is not unique to any one world; the legend of the Philosopher's Stone can be found in many worlds.

Philosopher's Stone

"Stone from Heaven"

"Philosopher's Stone" and "Elixir of Life" are other names for the Philosopher's Stone.

Weiss suspects that in the world of Harry Potter, the "Sorcerer's Stone" created by Nicolas Flamel may be the Philosopher's Stone.

It's a pity that the Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed by Dumbledore, otherwise Wes could make a comparison. Thinking of this, Wes couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He placed Nicolas Flamel's alchemical notes, the information he collected in the alchemical world, and the method of making the Philosopher's Stone on his desk.

Then he spread out a piece of straw paper, held a feather pen in his hand, and looked focused.

"It's time to start," he whispered, and then immersed himself in his research, writing non-stop with the pen in his hand, recording every idea and discovery.

Every word and every symbol is his step in exploring the truth, and he moves towards his goal step by step.

For three whole days, Wes didn't leave the office.

He was so absorbed in his studies that he lost track of time.

All food and drink were brought by the loyal Jandi.

Jandi supported Weiss silently without a word of complaint.

The office floor was covered with countless papers, all filled with Wes's thoughts and explorations.

His hair was messy, his eyes were red from long hours of study, his nails were stained with ink, and he exuded the unique smell of someone who was concentrating on work.

"The Philosopher's Stone in that alchemy world is incredibly sinister. It was forged from land, using the souls of millions of people to refine it. It's undoubtedly using the lives of others to increase one's own lifespan, hence the creation of resentful spirits."

"Where's the Philosopher's Stone? What's the principle behind it? Nicolas Flamel's alchemical notebooks don't mention it!"

Weiss felt frustrated. He crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball and threw it on the ground casually, letting out a long sigh, "So annoying~~"

Weiss wanted to use his wand to force Nicolas Flamel to tell him how to make the Philosopher's Stone, but he knew it was impossible.

After Nicolas Flamel entrusted the Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore, he disappeared from public view, and even Dumbledore did not know his whereabouts.

Besides, Weiss knew that he could not threaten a man like Nicolas Flamel who faced death head on.

He rubbed his face, trying to clear his mind.

He knew he had to find another way.

"The Philosopher's Stone does have the effect of prolonging life. The most important thing is how to deal with the resentful spirits within it and transform the Philosopher's Stone into a pure body of energy."

After coming up with a new idea, Wes planned to continue his research, but his head was dizzy and he couldn't concentrate.

"What's that smell?" He suddenly noticed a sour smell. After realizing that it was coming from himself, he immediately cast a cleansing spell on himself to remove the strange smell.

He opened the window and let fresh air flow into the room. The fresh air was like a clear spring, flowing into his heart and making him feel a little comfortable.

At this time, he saw the little wizards carrying boxes back to school.

"The holidays are over already? No wonder I feel so dizzy." Wes muttered to himself.

Sleepiness came like a tide, wave after wave.

Weiss couldn't hold it in any longer, so he went back to the dorm, took a hot shower, and fell comfortably into bed.

His body seemed to be overwhelmed by fatigue, and he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. And Jandi came to Weiss's office, like a conductor, drawing tracks in the air with his fingers.

The straw papers in the room flew into the air, stacked neatly together, and landed gently on the desk.

The messy books and materials seemed to have grown a pair of small feet and were arranged in order.

The quill pen and ink bottle also returned to their original place.

Stains on the table and floor were also cleaned.

After doing all this, Zhan Di smiled with satisfaction and left the office.

Wes slept until noon the next day, and the strong feeling of bloating in his lower abdomen was like an urgent alarm clock, waking him up from his deep sleep.

He got up sleepily and hurried to the bathroom to solve the problem.

He was planning to continue sleeping, but his stomach started to growl.

Weiss slowly climbed out of bed.

"Master," Zhandi appeared at this moment, his voice respectful and gentle, "I will prepare lunch for you."

Weiss looked up at the time. It was almost lunchtime. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the cafeteria to eat with the students. Maybe this would help him relax his tense nerves.

"No, I'm going to the restaurant to eat."

Weiss said as he walked towards the bathroom.

After washing up, he tidied his clothes and walked to the auditorium with steady steps.

In the auditorium, the twins and Ron's siblings immediately waved and greeted him excitedly upon seeing him.

Weiss saw them, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he nodded slightly at them.

Then he turned around and walked to the professor's seat.

He tapped the plate lightly with the knife. With a crisp sound, a steaming steak instantly appeared on the empty plate.

The steak had an attractive color and exuded a rich aroma, which penetrated into Wes's nostrils and made his mouth water.

In less than three minutes, Wes had devoured a steak in no time.

However, his stomach still felt empty.

He tapped the table, and soon, a new piece of steak appeared.

He continued to eat voraciously. After finishing three steaks in a row, Wes put down his knife and fork contentedly and wiped the corners of his mouth carefully with his napkin.

"When did a troll sneak into the school?" Snape's mocking voice came from the left side of the dining table.

The other professors also looked at Weiss in shock.

"I've been researching something lately and haven't had time to eat properly." Weiss explained lightly.

Several professors nodded in understanding, showing understanding and sympathy.

"I was like that when I was young," Dean Flitwick said, lost in memory. "It was a painful but fulfilling time."

"Any results?" someone asked curiously.

Weiss shook his head helplessly.

The other professors comforted Weiss and told him not to worry.

Only Lockhart proudly said that he would share his success experience with Wes. He was full of confidence, as if he was the most successful person in the world.

However, as soon as the professors saw that he was about to speak, they all found excuses to leave.

Weiss looked at Lockhart and sighed in his heart. He had never seen such a shameless person.

After what Lockhart did, Wes lost his appetite and returned to the office.

The moment the door closes.

"Ding!"

The panel pops up automatically.
