Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1074 The Philosopher's Stone

On a candle in the center of the altar, the light from the flame wick reveals the image of a young and vibrant witch.

"Esteemed Holy Mark Wizards, is there anything I can help you with?"

With her crescent-shaped eyes like two moons, the Flame Lamp Wizard asked with a smile, her gentle and kind demeanor inspiring goodwill in everyone, seemingly the soul template for all intelligent mechanical puppets.

"Retrieve the task rewards listed on the scroll."

The mountain strongman threw the quest scroll directly over. As red, yellow, and blue light threads converged in the hall, a moment later, the stoic Flame Lamp Wizard raised her head again and smiled.

"The quest scroll has been confirmed to be authentic. There are a total of 7,500 grams of Philosopher's Stones, 1,500 grams per person. Would you like to confirm and claim them immediately?"

"confirm."

A ripple of illusory spacetime caused a slight surprise in Grimm's tricolored eyes. It turned out to be the use of illusory spacetime in dimensional gaps. Indeed, dimensional gaps were involved in the highest level of knowledge utilization in the wizarding world.

A spatial ripple flashed, and Xiao Ba appeared as well.

"Damn it, that old bastard actually left the method of utilizing dimensional gaps to the Book of the Holy Tower. Otherwise, all the talk about how this old guy would have the ability to communicate with dimensional gaps, and what's with all the talk about how Eighth Master shoulders the mission of the rise and fall of the wizarding world, is just bullshit!"

Xiao Ba's appearance drew everyone's attention, especially to his "outrageous" words. The other three didn't react much, but the Myriad Colors Simulation Mechanical Saint Mark Wizard let out a cold snort.

"Who do you think you are, daring to speak so disrespectfully to a great True Spirit Wizard!"

"Master Eight is the great Steel-Crested Myna of the Wizarding World. Back when Master Eight was a legend, dominating the Wizarding World, you weren't even born yet. What's wrong with me saying a few words to that old man? I haven't said enough about Master Eight yet, boohoo..."

Little Eight was thrown into the dimensional gap by Green.

"This is my soulmate, Bahong Niweixi. Although the words are a bit harsh, it is indeed an ancient steel-emblemed myna. Even the great first-round true spirit wizard knows it. Don't take offense, I can't do anything about this guy."

As he spoke, Green took his own Philosopher's Stone and gave the others an apologetic smile.

"Then I'll use this time to prepare. As for the Life Box Technique, I'm not very familiar with the use of the soul in this area, hehe..."

Green's departure eased some of the awkwardness.

"What do you think of the Tower of Annihilation's combat strength?"

Suddenly, Suihuo Youjian asked, his bright eyes under his metal helmet scanning the three people present. The stubborn dragon on his shoulder kept spitting flames from its two nostrils and roared, "That wizard is hard to say, but that guy who was both a myna and a parrot just now wouldn't even be enough to fill my teeth."

"Very strong, he must have mastered a self-sealing technique."

After Wanse Simulation responded with a low voice, its figure gradually became transparent, blending into the surrounding environment and disappearing from everyone's perception.

"I'll head back now. With these Philosopher's Stones, the materials for my long-planned mechanical artifact are finally ready."

"Hahaha, of course the stronger the better, crunch crunch."

Chewing on the Philosopher's Stone, the mountain strongman departed alone.

"Hehehehe, don't underestimate any elemental wizard. This Tower of Annihilation's mask is extremely oppressive, and the magic staff in his hand is definitely not ordinary."

The Death and Cataclysm Saint Mark Wizard chuckled softly and left the hall as well.

…………

In the Stigmata Hall of the Space Fortress, Grimm took out the Stigmata Life Box and the Philosopher's Stone and placed them on the experimental table.

Immediately afterward, the space on his shoulder warped, and Xiao Ba emerged from the dimensional gap. Without turning his head, Green said in a low voice, "To a mechanical stigma wizard, you call yourself a living true spirit wizard? Don't you think before you speak?"

After a pause, Green said in a low voice, "This is not peacetime. It's a critical moment in the war of civilizations. Let's keep a low profile."

"Relax, relax, I know, I know. Humph, you have no idea about the dirty business between that old bastard and that bat."

After flapping its wings, Hachi looked at the Life Box and Philosopher's Stone on the experimental table. Just then, Green took out the crystal ball, and Nightshade Sachi appeared.

"Saintly Wizard of the Tower of Annihilation, I have already entrusted the task of finding Kretia to the Sea King's Ritual Base."

"kindness."

Green responded with a sigh and said, "Understood. You and Lu Lianman prepare here. You'll be accompanying me on a mission in a month."

After the crystal ball communication was shut down, Green first picked up the Life Box and lowered his head in deep thought.

According to some books on the use of souls, the basic structure of the Life Box Technique and the Wizard Tower's Source of Magic have some similarities in their use of souls.

Having the Life Box Technique will weaken some of your soul power, but it's like having a second life, allowing you to be reborn at the location of the Life Box.

but!

Performing this sorcery is not without its costs, the greatest of which is the Life Box itself. If the Life Box is damaged, the caster will undoubtedly die. Furthermore, even after the Life Box is reborn, there are still some unavoidable drawbacks.

In an endless world, how can there be a place of absolute safety?

After hesitating for a long time, Green finally put the life box down again, shook his head, and put it away.

"What is this?"

Xiao Ba looked at the pink crystal on the experimental table and asked Green.

The Philosopher's Stone.

Green's answer startled Xiao Ba, leaving him in a state of disbelief and astonishment.

"The Philosopher's Stone, wow, the Wizarding World already has this!?"

"It's just named the Philosopher's Stone. Whether it's the same as the legendary Philosopher's Stone in alchemy is hard to say. After all, according to alchemical legends, the Philosopher's Stone is something that disrupts the balance of power, the equivalent of time. When low-value items of the same element are added to the Philosopher's Stone, they can be used to create any high-value material of the same quality and element. If this is truly the Philosopher's Stone..."

After Green conjured an ice block, he took out a silver coin and a lead core, and separated a small piece from the pink crystal.

According to the alchemical isotope table, these three substances are materials with the same elements as mithril, so if the Philosopher's Stone is added, mithril should appear!

hum!

"hiss……"

The strange fluctuations took Green's perception, under the watchful gaze of the Face of Truth, quite by surprise.

This pink crystal actually mobilized the fundamental rules of the world. It was the unknown rune system floating on the surface of the world's canvas that showed some unknown form fluctuations. It was these that constituted everything in the endless world.

At this moment, these pink crystals were able to slightly alter these runes, which was truly incredible. No wonder it was named the Philosopher's Stone in the Wizarding World.

"Wow, it actually turned into mithril!"

Little Eight pointed at the mithril block on the lab table and yelled at the top of his lungs.

Green's breathing became slightly rapid, and he suddenly opened his mouth, spitting out a fragment of his soul. Inside was a trace of insignificant consciousness, which was the wisp of soul that Green had painstakingly collected before Raffi's death and had kept there ever since.

Eagerly, Green brought the Philosopher's Stone closer, his tricolored eyes fixed on it intently.

After a long while, there was still no reaction...
