Chapter 90 The True Name of Extraordinary Things

The second floor of the lighthouse.

Lin Bo plans to write a professional notebook on true name alchemy, starting tonight.

The basic subject textbooks he bought contained many mature elementary alchemical formulas. The learning path of an alchemical apprentice always starts with reproducing old formulas.

When reproducing the formula, Lin Bo planned to record the true name runes of each elixir ingredient, write down the experimental steps corresponding to the fragmentation, evolution, and reorganization of the runes, and finally record the true name of the elixir.

He attempted to build a rune dataset to find the specific rules governing the flow of True Names. This was a discipline reserved for True Name mages, perhaps called Runeology.

Real names and magic words, which are powerful words, require a medium made of special materials to carry them. When a real name is written on ordinary paper, the symbol will spontaneously dissipate and distort, and the paper may even combust or become soaked.

Lin Bo purchased paper materials on the trading platform, with prices ranging from 1 sheets for 10 disaster coin to several thousand or tens of thousands of disaster coins for one sheet.

The raw materials for plant-based paper are taken from various magical trees, whose leaves and bark are naturally excellent rune carriers.

Animal hides are the mainstream. Even ordinary parchment can hold runes for months, and top-grade dragon hide can even preserve runes forever. However, the production of some animal hides is often associated with dark taboo lore, so trading platforms advise caution when purchasing.

In addition, there are hard carriers such as stone slabs, shells, and bone fragments, which also have good carrying capacity, but are not popular because they are inconvenient to write on and difficult to carry.

Lin Bo bought cheap stuff, but not the worst kind.

What he had discovered so far were all runes in the Gudorei language. They could be preserved for at least ten years using "blood banyan pulp paper" that cost 5 disaster coins per sheet and a bottle of special ink that cost 1 disaster coins per bottle.

He wasn't so extravagant as to write a rune on every single piece of paper. Lin Bo cut a piece of blood banyan pulp paper into many pieces and pasted them onto regular paper. He only wrote the complete rune on the rune paper, and the rest of the annotations were written on the regular paper.

If the rune paper could be written on both sides, he would have filled it up.

The blood banyan pulp paper is very solid and feels similar to kraft paper. There are faint blood-streaked lines on the surface. It has excellent writing performance and you really get what you pay for.

The first recipe Lin Bo wrote down was the mixed vegetable soup he discovered this morning.

He prepared two pens, one filled with special French ink and the other filled with ordinary ink, but he did not need to hold them by hand, but held the pens with the mantra technique.

This was also the inspiration I got when I wrote to Willen Pearl this evening. At that time, Lin Bo directly controlled the ink to draw on the paper. His writing was very brief. It was not that he did not want to write more, but he found it quite difficult to write beautiful words.

Level 1's [True Word Illusion - Flow] controls the movement of all things, but its application of force is difficult to achieve with speed and swiftness. Therefore, when writing with this technique, achieving clear and beautiful characters requires extremely precise control of force.

Lin Bo wrote his notes in his native Chinese language, and had some understanding of the writing style, which was just right for practicing the flow control technique.

Wearing the appearance of a wizard, he remained calm and sat at the table. As usual, he first controlled an iron ball to float in the air, practiced the "Concentration of Mind and Action", and then watched the pen fall.

Controlling the pen with the Mantra Technique is more difficult than directly controlling the ink. He cannot immediately judge the depth of the force of the pen, and the strokes of the pen are also quite awkward. The characters he writes look like a group of earthworms gathering together.

Precisely because it is difficult, it is worth practicing.

So he continued writing, thinking about how to improve it bit by bit, until his cursed power was exhausted and the suspended iron ball fell to the table.

Boom!

[Skill judgment successful, [Mantra Control - Flow] basic proficiency +1]

【…】

[Inspiration Proficiency +2 (I have glimpsed a higher view)]

Final calculation result: [Mantra Control - Style] proficiency +4.8

Lin Bo glanced at the information board of the comprehensive network and raised his eyebrows slightly. The additional description of the inspiration proficiency item was quite interesting.

"Higher scenery?" He thought about the practice just now.

Writing is nothing more than starting, moving, turning and ending the strokes, but the strength and direction of the pen are full of twists and turns.

"The first level of the Flow Control Technique is like a torrential downpour, a torrent pouring down, and the conviction and intention are also urgent and radical. From this perspective, perhaps the second level of the Flow Control Technique emphasizes the twists and turns of force, just like writing that appears straightforward but actually has undercurrents."

This was an unexpected gain.

Lin Bo drank a bottle of whale oil potion and decided to practice calligraphy more in the future.

The main goal tonight is to try to reproduce the alchemical formula.

The crazy dwarf's active metal wire has gone beyond the scope of elementary alchemy. Even though [Trash Picking Up] provided a detailed production process, Lin Bo still chose to be safe and did not challenge the high difficulty level before getting started.

He chose the spellcaster publication "Teaching You Some Alchemy at Home (Collected Volume)" published by Ochi Rose Garden, and picked out a basic formula "Thunder Resin" from it.

The finished product of Thunder Resin is a supernatural magical substance, but the raw materials do not contain magic. Through repeated whitening and yellowing, ordinary rosin acquires extraordinary properties. When applied to the surface of an object, a layer of weak electric current will linger.

Lin Bo was attracted by the fact that the ingredients in the recipe were common things and he could find out their real names.

A basic reactor is required to make lightning resin, and Lin Bo used a pressure cooker.

Since it is called "A Little Alchemy at Home", then of course the pressure cooker can also be an alchemical tool, there is absolutely no problem with that.

It was a bit troublesome to prepare the raw materials himself, so he asked [Toxurus] to purchase the worry-free service of alchemical materials produced by Ochi Magnificent Garden.

After making his request, [Torsulus]'s subordinate mind quickly prepared ten standard packages of lightning resin raw materials for him, at a cost of 3 Disaster Coins. The raw material cost was 1 Disaster Coin, and the rest was a service surcharge.

Before officially starting the alchemy experiment, you also need to find out the true name of the elixir.

The three main ingredients are pine resin, saltpeter and bitter salt, and the auxiliary ingredients are seven common herbs.

He puts a variety of ingredients in his mouth and tastes them, using the interaction of their smells to explore repressed language.

Repeat this process until he knows the true names of all the ingredients and records them in his talisman notes, then he can begin preparing Thunder Resin.

On the induction cooker, the pressure cooker was hissing.

Lin Bo sniffed the elixir energy emanating from the furnace, but did not rush to start meditating.

Alchemical experiments require operators. He planned to complete the entire process a few times first, and once Iron Guard learned the technique, he could let it take over.

This iron robot recorded all of Lin Bo's operations, and then prepared the lightning resin on its own, and succeeded in one go.

The first half of the night had already passed without us realizing it, and there was not much raw material left.

After confirming that Iron Guard had fully mastered the formula, Lin Bo let it operate, while he himself sat cross-legged beside the stove in meditation, carefully smelling the elixir energy and sensing the flow of the true name rune.

Iron One carefully carries out each step, including adding materials, heating, stirring, and constant temperature firing, and all operations are precise and error-free.

The elixir in the furnace was returned again and again, and the true name rune was constantly deformed and reconstructed.

Lin Bo was immersed in deep meditation, witnessing the evolution of Gu'dorei runes into Animist runes.

The originally short and fragmented strokes gradually grew, like seeds sprouting roots and entangled with each other.

The mage memorized the shapes of these strokes and how they could be reconstructed.

The night wind blew in through the window. If anything unexpected happened, the robot would immediately throw the pressure cooker out of the lighthouse through the window.

Fortunately, the experiment went smoothly.

After many returns, all the raw materials in the furnace blend harmoniously, and the elixir energy condenses into one, completing the final red stage.

Lin Bo woke up from his meditation, grabbed his notebook and tore off a piece of white paper. He started drafting with an ordinary fountain pen. With two strokes, he drew a complete character that was formed from beginning to end in one stroke.

The ordinary white paper on which the runes were written began to generate static electricity after a few seconds. Then, the area around the characters was ignited by electric arcs, burning out several rice-sized gaps and destroying the shape of the runes.

Lin Bo has memorized the real name of Thunder Resin, which combines its shape, meaning and pronunciation.

He began to chant, "(Mantra) Flashing Thunder Resin."

A ball of magically created golden resin appeared out of thin air, shimmering in the air and emitting the smell of caramel and ozone.

At this moment, the deep purple night sky outside the window has turned white, the stars have gone out, and dawn is approaching.

This was the first true name of a supernatural being he had mastered.

Chapter 91: Level 5 True Name Mage, Level Word Spirit

The Thunder Resin produced by Lin Bo and Iron One has been certified by Zongwang.

Thunder Resin (Gray)

Type: Alchemical Product

Weight: 0.2 kg

Item Effect: Apply to the surface of an object to add lightning damage

Description: A basic alchemical formula. It has little practical value, but it's a good start.

After putting the three successfully produced portions of Thunder Resin into his backpack, Lin Bo estimated that they would just gather dust. Unless they were shipped in large quantities, trading platforms would be too lazy to purchase alchemical products of this level.

While there was still some time before dawn, Lin Bo wrote the ingredients for the Lightning Resin Pill and the real name of the finished product on blood banyan pulp paper, made annotations, and then carefully described the process of reconstructing the real name rune.

Which strokes disappeared, which strokes were extended, how the broken Gu'dorei runes were closely combined into the Pan-Animist runes, stroke by stroke, and so on.

Although he is not yet able to infer the general rules of true name changes from the evolution of these lines, they are all valuable research materials.

All knowledge concerning True Names and magical languages ​​is a rare treasure.

Afternoon, East Cliff Grottoes.

After Lin Bo logged into the chat interface, he went straight to the team channel.

[Lighthouse Guest]: (bubbling)

[Holy Light]: Good morning, Mage. Are you ready for a new day of running maps?

[Lighthouse Guest]: Good morning, it’s afternoon here.

[I really want to eat meat]: Good evening, Master Brother, it’s early morning here [Picture]

The half-elf sent a photo of a mountain against a night sky. The light of the stars and the moon shone down, illuminating an ancient stone circle. This was the sacred site of his druid circle.

[Barrier]: Now that everyone is here, shall we start the mission now?

Everyone agreed.

Lin Bo's current professional level experience is on the verge of upgrading. He only needs to run the map in Purgatory difficulty again to reach Lv5. Then the level penalty will greatly reduce the disaster coins and experience value gains of [Sea Spirit Altar].

The days of making easy money are coming to an end.

[Network Tip: Player [Barrier] invites you to join the dungeon battle [Sea Spirit Altar in the Demon Village] (Purgatory Level)]

A deep purple vortex of space and time opens.

[Barrier] was the last to enter the dungeon, raising his hand to greet them. Lin Bo and the other two gathered together to chat, then looked in the direction of the voice and saw that their serious Paladin was wearing a Tide Guardian robe, which seemed to be a trophy from his last clearance.

He was wearing heavy armor, which made his graceful tide robe bulge out, like an oak barrel wrapped in silk, or a barrel that had legs and could walk.

Everyone was stunned by his appearance and was speechless for a moment.

[Barrier]: I was lucky, a purple item dropped.
