"Have you already ...... Refined the Philosopher's Stone?" Achill asked in a trembling voice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The hall was silent for a moment - this was probably the answer that everyone wanted to know.

The Philosopher's Stone is the rumored culmination of alchemy, and its ability to transform all things is why alchemy is called the sage science. When used as a medium, it can turn ordinary iron and lead into precious metals, allowing people to have inexhaustible wealth, which is the origin of turning stones into gold.

"The stone that transforms all things...... That thing was just something that the ancient alchemists had made up when they wanted to be lazy," Kemo waved his hand, "What I'm going to show you is the mystery of the world. ”

I saw him take out a peculiar crystal glass tube from his waist bag and display it generously in front of the alchemists.

Everyone craned their necks, and Lightnin was no exception. The tube was about two fingers thick, sealed at both ends, and contained some brownish-red powder, unpretentious, like dry earth at first glance, and I don't know how to fill it in.

Then Kaimo asked for a cup of clean water, and he picked up a piece of alum from the table and smashed one end of the glass tube to pieces.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

Even Lightnin was heartbroken, the transparent and flawless color was clearly a fine crystal glass, and if he wanted to fire it into such a well-proportioned tube, he didn't know how much effort it would take for the craftsman to smash the tube. However, this also made him realize that it was not a lie that the fourth prince had previously claimed that crystal glass had been developed in the territory - the Royal Capital Alchemy Association would never produce such a strange container.

The water was quickly served, and Kemo poured the powder from the tube into the cup, and the water slowly turned yellow-green, and the powder disappeared.

"You've got lead rods here," he said, turning around, "and get two of the best ones." ”

"Wait!" Rayleigh exclaimed, "Since it's an alchemy reaction, then whoever does it is the same, right?" I've seen some street performers who are very good at tricks and can swap a bronze eagle for a golden dragon in full view...... I'm not suspicious of you, but it's better to be cautious on this occasion," he looked at the other two chiefs, "what do you think?"

"That's true," Achill said slowly.

Lightening hesitated, anyone could see that Rayleigh was clearly suspicious, and it was rude to compare the other party to a street performer, but at this time he had to be on the side of the Alchemy Society, "I ...... Agree. ”

I thought that the chief alchemist of Frontier Town would be furious, but I didn't expect Kaimo Stull to just smile, "Of course, there is no difference between the last step being done by an alchemist and an apprentice, as I said, the essence of alchemy is simple, orderly, and tendoned to the end." Who of you is coming?"

"Let me do it," Lightnin felt his heart beat so hard that he didn't even dare to make eye contact with Chemo, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity when faced with the art of turning stones into gold—could this yellow-green liquid really turn lead into gold?

The apprentice quickly brought in the materials, which were repeatedly refined lead rods, with a blue-white appearance, and were usually placed in wooden boxes lined with cotton cloth, which was considered to be the best quality stock. Lightnin picked one up, carefully placed it in the cup, and was surprised to find that the surface of the lead rod showed a touch of gold!

He felt his hands tremble uncontrollably.

"Look! Something seems to have grown!"

"Golden ...... Oh my God, it's golden!"

"Is that gold?"

"Maybe it's copper!"

The discussion behind Lightning suddenly became louder, and he turned his head to see that all the alchemists and disciples were staring at the change of the water cup on the long table, and his tone was full of shock and incredulity. Achill looked confused, as if he had lost his bearings.

He himself felt the same way at the moment...... Could it be that alchemy is really as Kaimo said, it has no change in itself, it is completely concise and clear, and what he thinks is chaotic and disorderly is only because he has taken the wrong path?

So what are they doing all these decades of studying?

When the lead rod is removed, the surface is already blooming like coral.

"These are all ...... Bronze!" Rayleigh bit her lip and hissed with the last of her strength, "You can't know how to turn stones into gold! This doesn't make sense! Otherwise, you could have bought the entire Grey Keep with the Golden Dragon, instead of just becoming the chief alchemist of a town lord!"

"I didn't choose this path for the sake of the golden dragon, but to know the world," Kaimo's voice seemed to come from far away, "If you don't believe me, you can test it...... I don't think the chief of the royal capital doesn't know how to distinguish between copper and gold, right?"

However, the subsequent verification did not reverse anything, and the gold threads on the lead rods were cut off and put on a plate, where they were placed on a fire to bake, and soon melted and gathered together. This is clearly not copper - at high temperatures, copper turns into an unsightly solid, and the metal solution rolling in the disk shines brighter, like a bright golden sun.

Real gold is not afraid of fire.

It's real gold.

The hall was already boiling!

"The alchemy formula for turning stones into gold really exists!"

"Master Kaimo, what do those symbols you wrote on the paper represent before, is that a formula for a higher realm?"

"Where did you learn this?"

"Chief Lord, do you still accept disciples? I am willing to start as an apprentice!"

"Listen, everything you see today comes from an even older discipline that includes not only all possible alchemical formulas, but also the mysteries of what constitutes all things!

Heading to the West, Lightnin froze in place as he looked at His Majesty Roland Wimbledon smiling...... Is this the real purpose of the other party? But it was too late to wake up at this moment, and the warm atmosphere on the scene was completely beyond his control, it is conceivable that if he could learn the art of turning stones into gold, who would still want to work for the association? I am afraid that no one in the hall will continue to stay here, and the century-old Royal Capital Alchemy Association will collapse in one day.

In a trance, Lightnin saw Caymo slowly walk up to him.

"Do you remember an apprentice twenty-seven years ago who wanted to prepare the molten gold liquid?" he leaned over and whispered in his ear, "because you robbed him of his purse and refused to allow him to enter the guild again because of two failed trials...... In fact, it's just because you don't have enough acid to do it. ”

Lightening was stunned, the memories in his mind overlapped with the figure in front of him, and he opened his mouth wide in surprise, "You are the apprentice I vetted at that time—"

"That's right," Kemo nodded, "I'm just here to get what I'm supposed to get." ”
