After passing through the Lullaby Forest, the three were invited by Osul to stay in the Lullaby Forest for a month.
During that month, besides exchanging alchemy knowledge with Osul, Lin Yun spent the rest of his time researching the 8th rune of the Book of Death. After half a month, Lin Yun finally deciphered the 8th rune, and just as Lin Yun had expected, the 8th rune's power was far above the previous seven.
This was the true power of the Book of Death.
Lin Yun named the 8th rune Infinite.
Because that night, Lin Yun quietly left Osul's small wooden house and found a group of Shadow Wolves in the depths of the Lullaby Forest.
When the 8th rune came out, Lin Yun truly felt what Infinite was. That was a state that couldn't be described with words. There were no more incantations, no more gestures …
Under the Infinite state, as long as Lin Yun willed it, the corresponding spell would appear. Moreover, these spells weren't affected by mana and weren't affected by Spell Exhaustion. Several dozen Shadow Wolves, which had reached Level 18, were wiped out by Lin Yun in an instant.
Even after the Infinite state disappeared, Lin Yun was still looking at his hands in a daze. That state was too unbelievable, it wasn't something an ordinary mage could imagine.
After all, a mage's casting itself was very tedious and complicated, but when he was in the Infinite State, those tedious and complicated spells seemed to have lost their meaning in an instant. He didn't even need to think, the only thing he had to do was release one spell after another.
This was too brainless …
But the price of this brainlessness was very high.
Lin Yun opened the Book of Death and discovered that the five Ultimate Spells stored within had dimmed in an instant. The huge Soul Fires had been completely consumed.
After all, this was the Soul Fire of five Ultimate Spells.
At this time, Lin Yun couldn't help feeling a headache. Five Ultimate Spells' Soul Fires would require over a thousand Skeleton Warriors to supply, but after entering Unlimited Mode, these Soul Fires didn't even last seven seconds.
Moreover, this was only the eighth rune.
By the time he deciphered the rest of the characters, wouldn't the consumption of the Flame of Death be astronomical?
'It looks like I'll have to think of a way to conquer the Undead Plane in the future. Otherwise, the Soul Fires I obtained in the Bone Plane won't be enough to support an unlimited state, let alone the remaining characters of the Book of Death.'
Only a terrifying plane like the Undead Plane, with High Rank Undeads everywhere, could keep up with the Book of Death's shocking consumption.
At this time, Lin Yun finally understood a little why Bane, thousands of years later, was still obsessed with conquering the Undead Plane.
It wasn't that Bane wanted to challenge the limits, but rather that the Book of Death was forcing him to challenge the Undead Plane.
Lin Yun thought about his future path while quietly returning to Osul's cabin.
But just as he pushed open the wooden door, he was caught by Osul, who was in the middle of an experiment.
In the past half a month, Osul had been enjoying himself to his heart's content.
As one of the few Artisans of the kingdom, there weren't many people in the entire Andalusia who could discuss alchemy with Osul. Now that he had finally found a weirdo like Lin Yun, how could Osul let him off? He would chat with Lin Yun until midnight every day until Lin Yun started yawning. Osul would then reluctantly let him rest.
Nothing could be done about it, such a suitable conversation partner was too rare.
Although this young Great Mage was only a Master Alchemist, his theoretical knowledge was something Osul had never seen before. Moreover, he would often have some thought-provoking opinions. Even an Artisan like Osul, who had been immersed in alchemy for several hundred years, would often feel enlightened.
Today was the same. Osul only let go of the yawning Lin Yun when the sky was about to brighten. But when Lin Yun was about to return to his room, Osul strangely asked, "Oh right, Merlin, why do I feel that your mana fluctuations are a lot stronger than before?"
"Oh?" Lin Yun was startled and hurriedly returned to his room.
Sure enough, just as Lin Yun returned to his room, he discovered that his 6th Magic Array had unknowingly taken shape.
'No, it's not just the 6th Magic Array, even the 7th Magic Array is halfway complete. As long as I spend a bit more time, I'll most likely become a 7th Rank Great Mage!'
'What's going on?'
Lin Yun thought about it but couldn't understand.
It wasn't until the next day that Lin Yun suddenly thought of something. 'Could it be because of Limitless?
That's right, this might be the case.
Limitless itself was condensed from countless runes, ultimately forming this character filled with terrifying power. Deciphering Limitless was another way of carving the Magic Array.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun tried to revolve the 6th Magic Array.
Sure enough, apart from the runes he obtained from the Reincarnation Eyes, the 6th Magic Array also contained a few runes he had never seen before.
After carefully comparing them, Lin Yun discovered that these runes were surprisingly similar to Limitless.
After figuring this out, Lin Yun couldn't help being moved. The Book of Death that had been put away was once again taken out by Lin Yun.
But this time, Lin Yun no longer tried to decipher the characters of the Book of Death. Instead, he memorized those characters and then used the several tens of thousands of runes he had accumulated to simulate them.
Lin Yun's first simulation could only be described as clumsy.
Nothing could be done about it, this was a path no one had ever walked before. In Noscent's long history, no one with a Magic Array had tried to merge these mysterious characters with the Magic Array like Lin Yun.
As expected, the simulation failed this time …
But Lin Yun wasn't discouraged and quickly started the 2nd and 3rd simulation attempts.
By the evening of the next day, Lin Yun had already tried over a hundred simulations, but they all ended in failure.
But Lin Yun wasn't in a hurry.
Since he had decided to walk on a path no one had ever walked before, Lin Yun was already prepared to face the thorns of this path.
This was a path bound to be full of hardships.
But Lin Yun believed that as long as he kept persevering, he would reach the end of the path sooner or later. At that time, he would see a scenery that no mage had ever seen before.
Days passed, and in the next half month, Lin Yun rarely exchanged alchemy knowledge with Osul, making the Artisan complain a few times. Lin Yun spent almost all his time simulating the characters of the Book of Death.
Failure, failure, and still failure …
In the next half month, Lin Yun kept failing.
But Lin Yun knew that he was walking on the right path, because Lin Yun could feel that his magic power was increasing at a shocking speed every day. His Magic Arrays were being perfected one by one, and after half a month, Lin Yun already had nine perfect Magic Arrays, becoming a 9th Rank Great Mage standing at the peak!
And all of this was because of the mysterious characters of the Book of Death.
…
After staying in the Lullaby Forest for a month, the three returned to Thousand Sails City. Joy and Solomon went to the Sage Tower, while Lin Yun was in a hurry to return to the Gilded Rose. The three parted ways on the Victorious Return Street.
It was already evening by the time Lin Yun returned to the Gilded Rose, but even at this time, the Gilded Rose's business was still very good. Lin Yun looked for William Merlin in the alchemy workshop and asked him about it, only to learn that all the major forces were busy expanding and that the Gilded Rose had too many orders.
At first, the old butler wanted to raise the price to refuse some of the orders.
This was a method used by most alchemy shops. When production couldn't keep up, many alchemy shops would choose to raise the price. That way, they could refuse some unnecessary orders without losing too much profit.
But this time, even raising the price didn't work!
The old butler raised the prices of most alchemy items by around 30% in one go, but it still didn't work. The orders were still flying in like snowflakes. All the major forces were going crazy, going all-out in an arms race. The old butler was so scared that he kept sending people to inquire if something big had happened!
After asking around, he found out that something big had happened!
But his young master was also involved in this matter …
Almost all the major forces of Thousand Sails City had participated in this joint exploration of the Vaughn Treasury. In order to obtain more benefits from this joint exploration, almost all the forces had chosen to participate in the arms race.
This time, the old butler knew that raising the price was useless.
He had no choice but to brace himself and expand the scale of the Gilded Rose once again.
But this time, Lin Yun didn't need to go to the Alchemist Guild to ask for more people.
The reputation of the Gilded Rose was too resounding. A recruitment advertisement was posted, and the next day, over a hundred Alchemists came to the Gilded Rose, completely surrounding it.
The old butler wasn't polite. After a bit of selection, he recruited over eighty Alchemists at once. It could be said that apart from those with poor skills or those with ulterior motives, the old butler recruited all the Alchemists he could recruit.
With this recruitment, the Gilded Rose's alchemist team had more than doubled.
