In the distance, Layford, who had just finished cracking a truth rune, turned his eyes and saw Lin Yun buffing himself with Sharp Mind and Berserk Transformation.
Layford immediately sneered with ridicule.
'Truly an idiot, that idiot doesn't know that the countless runes on this crystal can only be researched with true ability. He actually buffed himself with Berserk Transformation, what a stupid method.
The side effect of Berserk Transformation had a huge side effect in alchemy. An alchemist that couldn't keep calm wanted to conduct alchemy research. Did that fool think that the faster the calculations and research, the better?
'Truly a country bumpkin, these runes contain boundless mysteries of alchemy. Efficiency and accuracy are the most important things, no, accuracy is the most important thing.
'If there is a slight deviation in the mysteries contained within these runes, the result might be completely wrong. The original truth might become a complete mistake.
'Stupid guy, he hasn't moved at all. He was writing some key data at the start, but he hasn't moved for a few hours now. He must have reached a bottleneck in his research.'
Layford sneered and looked at Lin Yun with a malicious expression before continuing with his research. His research on a truth rune was almost complete. According to this speed, he might be able to complete the mysteries of a truth rune on the first day.
This could be considered a pretty good result. Although the research on the Whisper Crystal's truth runes would become more and more difficult and would take more and more time, he would definitely be able to research a few dozen truth runes in half a year.
As the day was about to end, Layford suddenly sighed in relief. He then put down his quill and carefully put away the papers on the crystal table. He then looked at Lin Yun and discovered that Lin Yun was no longer researching. He was a bit pale and was massaging his forehead with a frown.
Lin Yun massaged his forehead. After falling from the Steel Heart state, he immediately felt exhausted. That was a kind of mental exhaustion. He had used Berserk Transformation at least a dozen times today, and even if he got rid of all the side effects of Berserk Transformation, the pressure on his mind was unavoidable.
His mind was already exhausted and tense after a dozen hours of research. If he continued, his efficiency would rapidly decline. There was no meaning in continuing the research, so he had to rest and recover his mind.
Just as Lin Yun was about to leave, Layford walked over with a smile. That smile didn't look like a smile, it was instead filled with ridicule.
"Mafa Merlin, I'll give you a suggestion. Immediately f * ck off and return to the Kingdom of Andalusia. Don't embarrass yourself here. You actually relied on Berserk Transformation to increase the efficiency of your research.
"Moreover, you researched for an entire day and only managed to research this thing. Are you really an Artisan? Did you use some despicable method to deceive the Starry Sky College?
"I've already researched the mysteries contained within a complete rune. That is the truth of the alchemy world. Do you know what that feels like? "Do you know what the truth of energy transfer and conversion is?"
Layford looked at Lin Yun with a frown and a pale face as he took out a Mind Recovery Potion and swallowed it. The mocking and proud smile on his face became even thicker.
'That idiot Mafa Merlin actually couldn't hold on on the first day. Turns out he still had to rely on a potion to recover his mind. Truly an idiot. That guy definitely doesn't know a single rune in the formula. What does he know? How can he be an Artisan? His identity as an Artisan is definitely a title that can only be obtained by refining a certain kind of potion.
'I really don't know how that guy deceived the Starry Sky College, but it doesn't matter, I've exposed him now. The Starry Sky College definitely wouldn't let him off so easily, they would at least expel him.
'Once the Starry Sky College expel him from Neverwinter City, that damned guy will definitely die. Offending my Jackson Family and offending me definitely won't end well. The huge benefits of the Raging Flame Plane are actually in the hands of that Andalusia country bumpkin, this is blasphemy.
'Letting him come to our Odin Kingdom to research the runes containing the truth of alchemy is a complete waste, no, it's a blasphemy against alchemy.
Layford sneered and took out a piece of paper before proudly shaking it in front of Lin Yun. A complex formula was written on it.
"Mafa Merlin, take a look at this. Rest assured, I'm a very generous person. This is the formula I researched. I'll let you take a look, can you understand it?
"In my opinion, you should leave on your own. This place isn't suitable for someone like you. Don't waste your time here, it's a blasphemy against alchemy!"
Layford righteously used the banner of alchemy and immediately attracted the attention of a few Artisans who had finished comprehending for the day.
Seeing that someone was looking at him, a smile appeared at the corner of Layford's mouth, but his tone became earnest and earnest.
"Mafa Merlin, look at you, it's been a day and you've buffed yourself with a dozen Berserk Transformations. Even if you can resist the side effects of the Berserk Transformation, forcing yourself like this isn't good for you. It's useless if you keep going like this.
"After all, the first day of research is the easiest. As an Artisan, you should be able to finish researching a rune." Look at everyone, everyone has finished researching a rune, but you haven't even researched half a rune.
"There's no point in you staying here. Do you see the formula in my hand? This is the core formula for energy conversion and utilization, can you understand it … "
Many Artisans who had finished their research looked over. Indeed, today was the first day and the first truth rune was the easiest to crack. One day was enough.
All the Artisans here had already researched the mysteries contained within a truth rune. Seeing a few Artisans looking at him, Lin Yun opened his eyes. The Mind Recovery Potion had already taken effect and his exhausted mind had recovered a lot, but he still needed to rest.
Lin Yun casually swept a glance at the complex formula on Layford's paper and casually asked.
"During the energy conversion process, what is the ratio of energy produced and consumed? What is the highest ratio and core parameter of the energy conversion?"
Hearing Lin Yun's question, Layford instantly froze.
He was also an Artisan, how could he not understand the level of this question? He would have been able to muddle through if he was outside, but there were a few Artisans who had just finished their research looking over.
Even if he didn't understand this conundrum, he knew that this conundrum wasn't something to be casually mentioned. It was a targeted and technical problem. Most importantly, this problem was directly related to the formula he had just come up with …
After saying those words, Lin Yun turned and walked towards his resting room. He had played a bit too much today. He hadn't expected Steel Heart to be so effective when researching alchemy. The side effects of Quick Mind and Berserk Transformation were completely suppressed and only burst out after he exited Steel Heart's state.
As for Layford, he stood there, his expression continuously changing. He didn't care that Lin Yun had already left and immediately looked for a crystal table to rapidly calculate and write on it.
After racking his brains for a dozen minutes, Layford threw his quill on the table with an unsightly expression. He had been calculating for a dozen minutes, yet he couldn't get a result. This already exceeded the scope of his abilities. He wouldn't be able to find the answer to this difficult problem even if he calculated for the next year.
Layford put down his quill and quietly glanced at the surrounding Artisans. After seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly left and walked towards his room with an unsightly expression.
'That idiot Mafa Merlin, how could he ask this kind of question? Damnit, that guy definitely took advantage of others' research to secretly look at their data.
'Could it be Gurrig? No, apart from himself, no one can understand Gurrig's deductions. Could it be the two Artisans of the Mosh Family? Or that research lunatic Albert?
'It must be like this, it must be the truth rune Mafa Merlin was researching. Then, he spied on the data of the two Artisans of the Mosh Family and Albert.
'While everyone was researching, all their attention was focused on that crystal, so no one noticed him peeping.
'Damnit, I was tricked by that Mafa Merlin, no wonder he ran after asking that question. Damnit, he doesn't know the answer to that difficult problem.
'Damnit, but everyone knows that he asked a difficult problem to stump me. I can't find the answer to that difficult problem, and I can't expose his little trick. If I say it, others will definitely think that I'm acting shamelessly because I can't solve that problem. He can also say that it's a secret of his research and won't say it.'
Layford's expression was extremely dark. He fiercely glared at Lin Yun's residence and gnashed his teeth. He wanted to directly blast that house into the sky with a spell, but unfortunately, he could only think about it.
Lin Yun returned to his residence and activated his defenses before using Hypnosis to make himself fall asleep and recover his mind.
On another side, a few Artisans of the Starry Sky College were gathered together.
This gathering wasn't just for foreign Artisans, the Starry Sky College's own Artisans were already stationed here. When researching, they didn't have the time limit of the foreign Artisans. Their time was a lot more abundant than the invited Artisans.
In a seemingly ordinary building, a few Artisans were sitting around a round table. At the center of the table was a crystal ball, and in addition to an image, there was also a sound coming from it. It was the conversation between Lin Yun and Layford.
After all, they were both Heaven Rank powerhouses, the consequences would be unimaginable if a fight broke out here. Moreover, the Starry Sky College was the master of this place and this space was protected by layers upon layers of defenses. How could they be completely at ease with these Artisans outside?
But when he heard Lin Yun's question, Zeith was the first to reveal an astonished expression.
"The problem of energy conversion isn't something an Artisan who just started researching that kind of crystal rune can think of …"
Just as Zeith finished his words, another Artisan of the Starry Sky College next to him had an astonished expression.
"That's right, the process of energy conversion produces energy and consumes energy. This is something an ordinary Artisan wouldn't consider. Moreover, I saw the data written by that Mafa Merlin, he definitely researched the crystal rune today!"
As for the other Artisan on Zeith's right, he pondered for a bit.
"According to the information from the City in the Sky, this Mafa Merlin has very high attainments in the field of puppets and arrays. He even has a puppet army. His research on mana reactors must be very deep. To be able to raise this kind of question, he might have researched it before …"
Zeith shook his head and attentively watched the crystal ball. He adjusted the angle of the crystal ball's line of sight and even rewound the scene in time to quickly show the scene of Lin Yun writing down the key data.
"No, he definitely researched this thing while researching the crystal rune. Look at this data, it's all about some key data during the energy conversion process. His research is very accurate and concise.
"If he hadn't researched it here, he wouldn't have been able to ask this question. The highest ratio and core parameter of the mass-energy conversion can only be known by those who have researched it deeply. If he hadn't researched it, he definitely wouldn't have known that the core parameter is fixed and wouldn't change with time."
After Zeith finished his words, the few Artisans of the Starry Sky College froze. This core parameter was similar to pi, it was a fixed data that wouldn't change with time, but few people knew about it.
One of the Artisans looked at Chase in shock.
"Sir Zeith, this is impossible. If you want to understand the core parameters, you must completely comprehend the three crystal runes numbered 338, 488, and 560. Only then would you be able to deduce to this step …"
"Hold on, Sir Zeith, you are saying that the new Artisan from Andalusia has already comprehended these three crystal runes?"
The other Artisans were horrified.
"No way, he actually comprehended three crystal runes on the first day? Are you kidding me? We have been studying for so many years and only comprehended eight hundred crystal runes, yet he comprehended three on the first day? "
Crystal Runes was the name the Starry Sky College had given to the truth runes on the Whisper Crystal. It was also the name of the truth runes for a very long time. Naturally, truth runes had many names, and truth runes was one of them. There were also some alchemists of the Starry Sky College who called truth runes devil runes that carried evil power and refused to research them.
Zeith's eyes flickered as he stared at the crystal ball, sighing.
"Maybe it's more than that. The difficult question that he asked seems like a difficult question, but it's actually a series of difficult questions. Even if he has done some research on energy conversion, it's impossible for him to grasp the most crucial part immediately after studying those three runes. I think that the number of runes that he studied today might be more than three runes …
"Moreover, we might have underestimated that new Artisan from Andalusia. His attainments in the field of alchemy might be even more formidable than the average Artisan.
"You might not know, but when we came in, City in the Sky's Gurud, that kid born for alchemy, had a very good attitude towards Mafa Merlin. He could even discuss some things unrelated to alchemy with Mafa Merlin.
"After all, that kid didn't learn the ways of the world. There is only one possibility, that Mafa Merlin's attainments in the field of alchemy can already make that kid Gurud admire him …"
After Zeith finished speaking, the horrified expressions on the faces of the few Artisans became even more serious.
They all knew of Gurud, that youth who had poured all his wisdom into alchemy. His alchemy abilities could be considered average among Artisans, but he was still an Archmage. This in itself was inconceivable.
Moreover, Gurud didn't understand the ways of the world. Apart from alchemy, he was like an idiot, yet he could actually discuss something other than alchemy with someone else. There was only one possibility, that person had been approved by Gurud.
The few Artisans still hadn't recovered from their shock. After all, after so many years, the Starry Sky College's research into truth runes could be considered the most profound. Even if they still hadn't discovered that truth runes weren't infinite, there were only 108,000 of them.
After so many years, every Artisan's research speed and how many runes they could research were recorded. After so many years, being able to research a complete truth rune on the first day was already considered a qualified Artisan, and it wasn't a newly advanced Artisan.
Those who were invited by the Starry Sky College would be able to research a truth rune on the first day, and the highest record was two truth runes on the first day. Moreover, it was barely enough, and they only managed to research the second one on the second day.
Comprehending three truth runes on the first day, and there was a high possibility that they had comprehended more than three truth runes. Ever since the Whisper Crystal had been obtained, there had never been such a case. Even the three Saint Sealer deans hadn't broken the record on their first day of studying truth runes!
In fact, the record of researching two truth runes on the first day was set by one of the Saint Alchemist Deans.
The group looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to say. At this time, one of the Artisans pointed at the crystal ball, his eyes wide open.
