Sealing Hand!
Huai Shi was currently continuously converting his Origin Substance into iron.
As the flames surged, the countless grains of iron began to rapidly change. In the end, they became as black as crystal, and after a large amount of ash was mixed in, they took on the appearance of shadow iron.
Amidst the flames, a crooked short sword slowly appeared.
Finally, Huai Shi's Origin Substance was completely used up. The flames dissipated, and the short sword fell into his hands.
Huai Shi couldn't help but grow excited as he examined the short sword.
Now, he no longer needed a long period of nurturing and deliberately stripping away his emotions to create a weapon. However, compared to the Axe of Wrath, the Sacrificial Knife, and the Rope of Sorrow, this dagger was surprisingly weak. In addition, because he lacked experience, the internal structure wasn't tightly knit. After two strikes with the hammer, the short sword shattered into pieces.
After exhausting all of his Origin Substance, he had only managed to create something this small.
However, the benefit was that the steel that he had created seemed to be able to exist forever. It had already completely transformed from Origin Substance into a physical object, unlike the blade and axe, which would return to Huai Shi's body as soon as he withdrew his power.
It was just a short sword, and it had taken so long......
No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem to be very useful.
"That's not necessarily true, Huai Shi."
Crow's expression became strange. As she looked at him, Su Chen felt a sense of unease.
She spoke in a tone that didn't allow Huai Shi to refuse. "Starting tomorrow, you will need to spend three hours a day studying alchemy.
Starting from the most basic synthesis formulas, you will need to learn how to differentiate between six hundred metals and forty thousand alloys, as well as their materials and properties. Then, you will need to memorize tens of thousands of derivations and laws. "
"What are you planning?" Huai Shi was stunned. "You can only create a short sword. That won't be very useful, right? Are you planning on doing wholesale? "
Crow laughed. "There are countless things in this world that are more useful than a sword. Why are you so obsessed with selling swords, Huai Shi?"
She glanced at the title page of the Book of Fate.
On Huai Shi's form, following the fusion of the recipes, a new skill silently appeared.
Unlike the other skills, which were gray in color, and unlike the pitch-black of Death Premonition, the words of this skill were golden in color, and there was an additional line of unclear words below.
[When he comes, who will be able to bear it? When he appeared, who could stand still? For he is like the fire of an alchemist, and the alkali of a draper.]
This was probably the most important part of the record, right?
Count Saint-Germain had pursued the miracle of change all his life, and had thus far longed for it.
[Alchemy Fire LV1]!
"Let's start from today."
Crow happily said, "Don't worry, this is just the basics. It's easy to learn."
Just as Huai Shi was trying to sneak away, a rope flew out of nowhere and tied him up. The Crow landed on his nose, lowered its head and said in a meaningful tone,
"I promise, it will be a very happy time."
.
.
Half a month later, on the mountainside of Qingxiu Mountain next to the stone marrow museum.
"Yes, police comrade, it's him!"
An indignant villager pointed at Huai Shi's face. "Every night in the middle of the night, there's a rumble here. Maybe some criminals colluded with grave robbers to blow up the mountain and dig up the tombs."
"I didn't, I didn't!"
Huai Shi, who was in front of the shed, argued with difficulty, "I'm studying."
"Studying, coming here to study? Young man, you look so gentle, I didn't expect you to lie so easily! "
"Sir, it really wasn't me." Huai Shi stood in front of the shed and tried to explain, "Do I look like I can carry explosives? I'm innocent! "
The angry villagers surrounded him. "Then what the hell are you learning here on the mountainside every day? How can you almost collapse the slope in front of you? "
"It's quiet here, it's convenient for me to practice my violin and study!"
Huai Shi took out his cello for the umpteenth time. In order to show that he was telling the truth, he even played two pieces on the spot. The melodious melody seemed to calm the villagers on the other side of the mountain a little.
But the police who had been alerted politely asked to search his shed to see what was in it. Huai Shi opened the broken door of the shed, revealing a table, a chair, and a pile of thick foreign language materials.
He really looked like a poor child who came to the mountainside every day to study hard in search of peace. Although it didn't sound very reliable to build a shed in the mountains to study.
"That's to seek inspiration. I've been composing for the past two days, and every day at six o 'clock in the afternoon, I go down the mountain. There's no one here at all."
Huai Shi talked nonsense seriously. "As for the rumbling explosion, I didn't hear it at all. It's not someone else, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud roar came from the other side of the mountain ridge.
Thick smoke rose.
The villagers looked at each other.
Huai Shi spread his hands. "See, I told you it wasn't me!"
After persuading the villagers and the police to leave and promising that he would soon tear down the shed and leave, Huai Shi sat on the chair and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he glared at Crow who was slowly flying over from the explosion. "Look at what you've done!"
"You can't blame me!"
Crow spread his hands innocently. "It's not me who caused the explosion in the middle of the night. I even helped you create a fake scene and false evidence. How can you be so heartless!"
"How would I know that alchemy is so easy to explode!"
Huai Shi was innocent and angry. He took off his gloves, revealing his ten fingers covered in scars and band-aids.
If it weren't for Crow's medicine, his hands might have been blown off long ago.
As for why he came here, it was a sad story.
In the beginning, Huai Shi practiced in the basement, and then on the first day, he blew up the laboratory that he spent eight million to get …
Then on the second day, he blew it up again.
After Fang Shu tactfully suggested for the third time that he was too old to be disturbed, he had to build a shed on the mountainside to conduct his own experiments.
As for the police who came to investigate today, he wasn't worried. It wasn't the first time anyway.
The mountain wasn't a place with good feng shui, and there were no ancient tombs, let alone mineral veins. Even if the police came to investigate several times, they wouldn't find anything. He just had to be more careful when conducting experiments in the future.
In fact, the problem didn't lie with Huai Shi's technique.
Although Huai Shi's technique wasn't perfect, it wasn't to the extent that he would blow up everything he touched. But the key was that other than the initial trial and practice, Crow didn't allow him to use any alchemy equipment.
Including the balance, high-end electronic scale, clean room, and other equipment, all the alchemy reactions had to be done by hand.
As for the raw materials, it was even simpler. After directly familiarizing himself with the properties of the materials, he used the Imprisoning Hand to make them. Whether it was gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, or other things on the table of elements, or even things that weren't on the table of elements, they all had to be made by hand.
That was the problem.
Most of the alchemy reactions, even the slightest mistake in the creation of metals, would cause a violent explosion.
If it weren't for the alchemy fire, which could control the direction of the blast wave, he would probably have blown off his hands and be lying on the bed in a perfect vegetative state.
And the final result was that until now, when he made the basic "static metal storage liquid" for apprentices, he was still stuttering, and the number of times he succeeded was very few.
Instead, he accidentally found several kinds of metal materials that were prone to exploding.
"How can you make everything by hand!" Huai Shi complained. "You're making things difficult for me!"
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. You have to get used to it."
Crow was very calm about this. "The basics of alchemy include botany, essence, application, and a lot of other things. Ordinary people will need more than five years to get started. What I'm letting you learn is already the most emasculated version. Abandon all the formulas that require other materials and only focus on metals. This is already the easiest of the easiest. So, it's not too much to ask of you, right? "
Crow was right. Now, in the Book of Destiny, Huai Shi had a new skill in his skill bar.
[Alchemy — Metal Study] Lvl 1.
The most basic of the basic.
It was the kind of rookie who understood the principles but would stumble when executing.
"What's the use of only learning metals?" Huai Shi sighed. "Do you want me to go to college and study metallurgy?"
"Walk the path of a scholar? That's not impossible, but you don't have the talent of a creator. It's best not to spend too much time on this kind of thing. It's a stage for talent. Ordinary people who spend decades on it will only end up with nothing. "
Crow seemed to have misunderstood, but he didn't agree with Huai Shi's idea. "There are only two reasons why I want you to study metals. One of them is this."
Saying this, her wings slowly unfolded, revealing a slender tube of potion.
Sealed in a transparent glass-like container was a silver liquid. The metal was in a liquid state, swaying slightly like mercury.
Silver Blood Potion.
It was also the 'blood potion' that many Sublimators would choose in a hasty battle.
If they didn't have time to drink it, they could even pour it directly on the wound. The metal in it would perfectly merge with the flesh and heal the wound.
It was unknown whether it was glue or artificial flesh. Although it was a poison that ordinary people couldn't metabolize, it was a good medicine for Sublimators to repair their stigmata.
Almost every Sublimator would carry a large amount of these supplies when exploring the Abyss.
"Ever since the Silver Blood Potion was discovered, countless recipes have been derived, such as the higher-level Golden Soul and Amber Origin Substance. But the most special thing about the Silver Blood Potion is that … … its recipe is completely made of metal.
That's right, it's all within the range of your hands. "
Crow said indifferently, "In other words, as long as you work hard enough, there will be a day when you can even make a blood potion with your hands … …"
She paused for a moment, then said meaningfully, "By the way, even the basic version of the Silver Blood Potion costs three hundred thousand per vial."
In that instant, Huai Shi's eyes lit up.
He saw a bright and resplendent future!
