I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 33 Alchemy and Talismans
Thanks to the material sorting tasks he carried out in the bottom storage room, as well as his day and night research on "refining concepts" and comparative studies of wizard materials in the intermediate laboratory, Jemin's knowledge of the properties and energy structure of alchemical materials has far surpassed that of his fellow wizard apprentices, and can even rival that of some low-level formal alchemy wizards.

This solid foundation of knowledge made the process of constructing alchemical and magical models incredibly smooth for him.

His first model of witchcraft—alchemy—took shape much faster than that of his fellow wizarding apprentices.

At this moment, taking advantage of the fact that his true essence and spiritual power were at their peak after breaking through to the third level of Qi Refining, Jemin focused all his attention on his spiritual sea, making final fine adjustments to the "alchemy" sorcery model that was about to take shape.

This is a unique wizardry model that he has created based on his understanding of the materials in the wizarding world, his mastery of the refining principles of the Great Dao Library, and his initial perception of the power of "concepts".

Because it was only recently constructed, the core effect of this "alchemy" magic model is similar to that of regular alchemy magic used by wizard apprentices—it can analyze the composition of matter and control and reconstruct it to a certain extent.

The biggest advantage of constructing a witchcraft model at this stage is that it no longer requires external objects such as alchemical disks or specific experimental tables to assist in performing alchemy, unlike other witch apprentices.

His "alchemy" sorcery model, provided he has sufficient mental strength, can be performed barehanded, just as his mentor Clark demonstrated.

Moreover, although alchemy is classified as a logistical form of witchcraft, it does not mean that it cannot be used in combat.

After all, the essence of alchemy is to analyze and control the composition of matter.

In theory, as long as his alchemy skills are high enough, he can completely control and distort the physical structure of a living organism at will!
In addition to alchemy, one could also construct a foundational sorcery analysis technique for runic literature.

Therefore, even if a living being's body is covered with powerful protective energy, he can still use alchemy and analytical techniques to directly analyze, control, and manipulate this protective energy!

The enemy's energy shield and physical body will become mere playthings in his hands.

At that time, whether it is an elemental attack, a physical attack, or other special attacks, once they enter the control range of alchemy, their composition and energy will be controlled by the wizard.

As long as the wizard's computing power and mental strength are sufficient, there is almost no possibility of any attack breaking through the defenses!
That would be truly "invulnerable to all laws"!
Of course, the composition of organic matter is too complex, and the amount of knowledge required is increasing exponentially, which is still too far from his current alchemical model.

The "alchemy" magic model he just created can only control metals with relatively simple structures with relative ease.

He needs to expend more mental energy to deal with more complex inorganic matter, and the control effect is limited. Organic matter is out of the question.

As for the analysis of runes, that remains a distant prospect.

"However... this level of alchemy is sufficient for the current stage."

For Jemin, what he needs to do next is not only to complete the construction of the alchemical magic model, but also to improve his cultivation level to the third level of Qi Refining.

At the third level of Qi Refining, true essence is abundant.

For Jemin, this was not just an increase in power, but also a sign of unlocking new cultivation techniques.

The Great Dao Book Pavilion records that one can only begin to try another important cultivation technique—talismans—after reaching the third level of Qi Refining.

A talisman is actually divided into two parts. One part is the "lu," which represents proof of identity.

The other part, "talisman," is a method of solidifying spells onto a specific medium for rapid casting. Its core consists of two main parts: the medium and the talisman (or rune).

The carrier is the material that holds the talisman, usually specially made talisman paper, jade, or metal. The talisman is the specific text or graphic that constitutes the core of the spell. These things contain the method of attracting and controlling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Following the guidance of the Great Dao Book Pavilion, Jemin began his first attempt at refining talismans.

First, there's the carrier.

In the cultivation world, the most commonly used talisman paper is made from specific spiritual plants, which is lightweight and easy to carry spiritual energy, but in the wizarding world, he has not yet found a suitable alternative plant.

However, alchemy offered him another option.

Jemin took out some of the refined gold and mixed it with some extradimensional metal essences with excellent energy conductivity and plasticity that he found in the bottom storage room.

According to the knowledge in the Great Dao Book Pavilion, this kind of metal carrier is generally used to refine "talismans". It's not for any special reason, but mainly because the most basic material for refining talismans is refined gold. However, since talismans are consumables, it is too expensive to make them purely with refined gold!
The simple weapon-refining methods recorded in the Great Dao Book Pavilion require at least the late stage of Qi Refining to be used, so Jieming must rely on the power of alchemy to refine and fuse these materials at this stage.

Fortunately, thanks to Jemin's deliberate training, his alchemy skills were quite effective in handling metals, and he eventually created a metal talisman with a certain degree of toughness and load-bearing capacity.

Although it is heavier and more expensive than real talisman paper, it at least solves the problem of the carrier.

Next are the seals.

At first, Jemin had no intention of being innovative. Referring to the records of fire talismans in the Great Dao Book Pavilion, he used his true essence as a pen to carefully and meticulously inscribe those profound talisman seals onto the metal talisman paper.

Each stroke contains a specific frequency and rhythm, which must be combined with the infusion of one's true essence and spiritual power at different frequencies.

With the powerful mental strength provided by meditation and breathing exercises, even without prior training, Jieming's movements were flawless, and he drew a talisman almost like a printer.

Once the inscription was complete, a faint glow appeared on the metal talisman paper.

Eager to arrive at the testing ground in the laboratory, which was specially used to test the power of witchcraft, the intermediate laboratory's testing ground was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of a third-circle wizard, so Jemin had no psychological pressure when conducting experiments here.

Activating the built-in record in the test field, Jieming took out the talisman he had just made, infused it with a trace of true essence according to the method, and activated the inscribed seal on it.

"Imperial decree!" he shouted in a low voice.

He anticipated a roar of flame, just as described in the ancient texts, powerful enough to engulf a large wooden stake.

However, the metal talisman only trembled slightly, and then...

With a "poof," a tiny flame, about the size of a thumb, weakly rose from the talisman, flickered twice, and then went out.

Jemin: "...?"

What the hell is that noise?!
