Chapter 36 Is Your Alchemy Legal?
"Sir, Higgins is dead."

In the pitch-black study, a figure knelt on one knee and spoke to a tall figure standing by the window gazing into the distance.

“I know,” the tall, imposing figure said calmly. “He has not let me down.”

Upon hearing this, the kneeling figure raised his head and asked hesitantly, "My lord, what should we do next?"

The tall figure turned around and walked to the kneeling figure, coldly saying, "Find Razor first. I want to see him alive or dead."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the kneeling figure quickly lowered his head. "But what about the Public Security Bureau?"

"Don't worry about the police department. The only one we need to be careful of is that bastard Marcus." The tall figure couldn't help but chuckle. "As for the others..."

"A bunch of useless trash."

"You're right, sir," the kneeling figure flattered. "Then I'll take my leave."

"Ah."

As the kneeling figure disappeared into the darkness, the study fell into complete silence.

Only after a long while did a long sigh finally sound.

"tsk"

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation, huh?"

late at night.

Li Ang reflected on the events of the day.

Higgins clearly sought death, a fact that was obvious to everyone present at the time.

There's also a big problem with Raymond's words: after they caught the smuggler for the first time, Marcus told them to leave him alone.

Therefore, Higgins had absolutely no need to contact these smugglers to kill them.

Thinking of this, Li Ang let out a soft sigh.

'Forget it, let the bureau chief and the others worry about it.'

After all, he has more important things to do now than worry about these things.

Li Ang first glanced at the progress of the Reverse Life Triple, and found that the experience points had reached [Mastery 143/1000]. Most of them were contributed by Higgins, and a small part was slowly increased by him while maintaining the Reverse Life state.

Even now, he maintains his regressive state at home.

Ignoring the message that popped up on the panel again, "Triple Reversal of Life, Skill Experience +1", Li Ang began to examine the "Introduction to Alchemy" he had obtained today.

He paused the recording on the opening page, filled with curiosity, and focused on the information stored in the bracelet.

Alchemy is, in essence, the unity of mind and matter.

Upon seeing the first sentence, Li Ang frowned slightly and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Cultivation of both body and spirit?"

He never expected that alchemy would be somewhat similar to the cultivation of Qi practitioners.

He continued reading.

[By using the body as a furnace and the heart as the fire, one can refine gold into elixir.]

"The Internal Alchemy School?!"

Turning the page forward, Li Ang confirmed that he was reading "An Introduction to Alchemy" and not "Tao Te Ching".

The "Golden Elixir" here does not refer to the realm found in ordinary cultivation novels, but rather to the Golden Elixir in the Taoist internal alchemy school's saying, "After swallowing a Golden Elixir, one realizes that one's fate is not determined by Heaven."

Having been a disciple of the Sanyi Sect for some time, Li Ang naturally had some understanding of this.

However, he soon realized that this probably referred to refining gold into pills, since gold has always held an important place in alchemy.

With a somewhat strange thought in mind, Li Ang looked at the last sentence.

One is ten thousand, and ten thousand is one.

【This is a miracle of Taiyi.】 This statement is not surprising; many metaphysical concepts contain this idea of ​​the unity of all things.

The opening consisted of only these three sentences. Li Ang continued to flip through the contents recorded on the bracelet. The following contents were the very normal basic concepts of alchemy.

For example, the world is composed of four elements: earth, water, wind, and fire.

Because it was only an introductory book, it didn't contain much information, and Li Ang quickly finished reading the entire document.

The book "An Introduction to Alchemy" concludes by providing two magic circles and a method for creating an alchemical item.

The two magic arrays are [Resilience] and [Concealment], and the alchemical item is [Scale of Garus].

However, Li Ang currently lacks not only raw materials but also a furnace, making it impossible for him to create alchemical items. Therefore, he can only attempt to inscribe a magic array.

However, carving the magic circle also requires a carving knife. After a busy day, Li Ang did not have time to buy the tools and had to give up for the time being.

With that thought in mind, he calmed himself down and began his studies for the day.

[Circulate your Qi, gain +4 to your profession experience].

[Manipulate the Qi within your body, skill experience +1].

The next day, the Public Security Bureau.

Li Ang and Danica huddled together furtively.

"Captain, can it really sell for a lot of money?"

"Yes, it's possible. A regular employee at the Finance Bureau next door obtained similar information, and the Federation directly used 300,000 Starshine Coins to buy it back."

That's right, the two were preparing to upload the "Introduction to Alchemy" they had obtained yesterday to the Federation's system to see if it could be retrieved.

Li Ang watched nervously as Danica took photos of the books in front of her and uploaded them.

Keep in mind that even if 300,000 Starshine Coins are divided into three parts, they would still amount to 100,000, which is even enough to buy a decent first-level job information.

Danica received a reply very quickly.

However, after reading the message clearly, her expression fell.

We apologize, but this information has been included in the federal database. Thank you for your trust.

"I knew it wouldn't be my turn for something like this," Danica said, utterly dejected.

Li Ang silently opened a website for purchasing career information and began searching for "An Introduction to Alchemy".

However, upon seeing the uploader, his expression turned strange.

"Captain, look."

[From "An Introduction to Alchemy - by Galos", uploaded by the author.]

[Governor's Office of Border Colony No. 9527].

Danica was taken aback when she saw the information shared by Li Ang.

There is only one situation in which the planetary governor's office will upload such information: if the information was seized when the planet was colonized. Otherwise, it will only be uploaded in an individual's name.

The question is coming
Can insect swarms learn alchemy?
Or, to put it another way, are these insects really native to this planet?
Li Ang didn't think the Zerg could learn or even create alchemy, though he couldn't rule out the possibility that the Zerg on this planet were freaks and that his stereotype was just that—a stereotype.

After a brief moment of thought, Li Ang said, "Captain, why don't you leave the book with me for now?"

"You want to learn?" Danica asked, somewhat surprised.

For non-craftsmen, learning this material is incredibly difficult, unless they are truly gifted.

Li Ang did this so that he would have a reason to reveal his alchemy skills later. Laying the groundwork in advance would not seem so abrupt and would avoid attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Although she didn't think the young man in front of her could succeed, Danica still handed him "An Introduction to Alchemy".

"Then I wish you success, Master Li."
