After seeing off Monchi and Ryan, Lin Yun once again returned to the alchemy laboratory. The harvest of the Four Seasons Canyon had been too shocking. He had obtained eight kinds of rare magic materials, each of which was a rare treasure. Let alone a place like Thousand Sails City, even in Okland, they could only be found in very grand auctions.
Especially the Requiem Song Gem, it could be said to be a treasure that could only be found once in a century. That Requiem Song Gem was dark red and about the size of a thumb. It was sparkling and dazzling under the sunlight. More importantly, that Requiem Song Gem only needed a bit of mana to be activated for it to sing a hymn!
The hymn sung by the Requiem Song Gem had the innate power to ferry souls. It was the natural nemesis of all ghost-type undead lifeforms. If Lin Yun had been wearing a Magic Tool made of the Requiem Song Gem when he entered the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts, he might have been able to vaporize 30% of the Ghosts.
But the processing of the Requiem Song Gem was notoriously difficult. The Requiem Song Gem was completely different from ordinary gems. It absolutely couldn't be cut or carved, because every piece of the Requiem Song Gem was a whole. Even the slightest damage would cause the Requiem Song Gem's hymn to no longer be complete.
In fact, it would have been fine if it was just that.
The problem was that although the hymn of a natural Requiem Song Gem could ferry souls, it didn't have the power to suppress evil. Thus, it had to be enchanted and then amplified with an array in order to arouse the true power of the Requiem Song Gem. Only then would the Requiem Song Gem become a true Magic Tool.
This meant that alchemists had to be very careful during the enchantment. They absolutely couldn't damage the Requiem Song Gem in the slightest. This was very difficult, as any gem was most vulnerable to damage during the enchantment.
Lin Yun spent a week to turn this Soul Calming Gem into a pendant that replaced the Lava Shelter's position.
Just the Requiem Gem alone took Lin Yun a week, not to mention the other magic materials. It had already been more than 20 days since Lin Yun returned from the Four Seasons Canyon, but he had only completed one-third of the work. Apart from the Requiem Gem, most of the rare magic materials obtained from the treasury had only undergone simple processing. If he wanted to make full use of them, it would take a long time.
And Latour's Gold Essence …
Latour Gold Essence's almost infinite tolerance was normally a characteristic that people yearned for, but when it was being enchanted, it was too disgusting. Lin Yun used a spirit mana crystal to pour mana into it, but the effect was negligible. After more than twenty days, the enchantment of Latour Gold Essence was only halfway done.
Apart from that, Lin Yun still had to deal with the Parasitic Tree and the Obsidian Flower, he also had to compound a potion to cure Solomon's Mana Whirlpool, he also had to find a way to repair that Heaven Puppet, and …
In any case, there were too many things to do.
In the twenty days since returning from the Four Seasons Canyon, Lin Yun hadn't been busy for a single moment.
Nothing could be done about it, as there were too many things for Lin Yun to deal with.
Moreover, every one of these things was very important.
In comparison, the Monchi Family was nothing.
At first, Lin Yun wanted to cause trouble for the Monchi Family because he wanted to do something for Mafa Merlin. Since he had occupied Mafa Merlin's body, many of the things that should have been handled by Mafa Merlin would have to be handled by him. For example, the truth behind Locke Merlin's shipwreck.
At first, Lin Yun truly felt that the Monchi Family had planned Locke Merlin's shipwreck in order to compete for the alchemy market of Thousand Sails City.
But later, as Lin Yun gradually adapted to this era and gained a better understanding of the major forces of Thousand Sails City, as well as Locke Merlin himself, Lin Yun slowly realized that the Monchi Family most likely didn't have that ability.
Locke Merlin was a lot more powerful than what everyone saw.
The Bone Plane's Planar Path, his identity as a descendant of the Merlin Family, as well as that powerhouse that could contend against Solan …
In people's eyes, Solomon was the number one High Mage, Lys was the number one alchemist, and Monchi was the number one billionaire. But how many people knew that Locke Merlin, who had started from scratch, had already grasped enough power to shake the entire Thousand Sails City? Even Mafa Merlin didn't know about this.
Using a shipwreck to devour Locke Merlin wasn't something that the Monchi Family could do. Not to mention the Monchi Family, even Solan, who stood behind Monchi, didn't have that ability.
Naturally, how could Lin Yun not know that Monchi's role in that shipwreck was far from being as innocent as he claimed?
Of course, there was a need for him to tip them off.
But forget it, he wouldn't be able to dig out any more clues from Monchi's body. If he wanted to find out the truth behind that shipwreck, he would have to wait until he went to Okland and had a chat with that genius Solan. Only then would he be able to find new clues.
As for the Monchi Family …
He would have Monchi hand over the position of Patriarch to Mason.
To be honest, this method was very sinister.
Everyone in Thousand Sails City knew what kind of person Mason was. With him in charge of the Monchi Family, it wouldn't take more than a decade for this millennium-old family to decline. It would take decades, centuries, or even centuries for them to recover.
Naturally, the reason why Lin Yun used such a sinister method wasn't just to retaliate against the Monchi Family.
Lin Yun was more concerned about the Gilded Rose.
The Gilded Rose could be said to be at the height of its power in Thousand Sails City, but it lacked the accumulation of time. Just in terms of talent, it was far from being able to compare to the other peak forces. Relying on Lin Yun's cheating performance, they could still crazily expand, but the lack of time was bound to burst out at some point.
At that time, the Gilded Rose would have no choice but to stop expanding and start slowly accumulating and perfecting itself.
Lin Yun didn't want to see the Monchi Family suddenly rise when the Gilded Rose stopped expanding. That would be a joke.
Thus, Lin Yun took advantage of Monchi lowering his head to push Mason to the position of Patriarch of the Monchi Family.
At the same time, he also used a Flame Burst to give Ryan a warning.
That Flame Burst was actually to tell Ryan that he had made an arrangement, and that Ryan had better not resist. Otherwise, the next thing that fell on him might not just be a Flame Burst.
When Lin Yun was working in the alchemy laboratory, he would usually let Faleau act as an assistant. Today was no different. Lin Yun waited until Faleau finished adjusting the mana radiation device before placing the Latour Gold Essence on the array and continuing the enchantment.
"Oh right, Faleau, how is the practice of the formulas I arranged for you last time?"
To be honest, Lin Yun was very satisfied with Faleau.
When Cadgar sent Faleau over, Lin Yun had already planned to hand over the technical work of the Gilded Rose to Faleau and make him the Chief Alchemist of the Gilded Rose. Because Lin Yun had always insisted that he was a mage and not an alchemist, the expansion of the Gilded Rose had just started. Lin Yun could still rely on his cheat-like brain to take over the technical work of the Gilded Rose, but what about later?
The Gilded Rose would inevitably keep expanding, and he would walk further and further on the magic path. At that time, where would he find the energy to take care of the technical work of the Gilded Rose?
Thus, he had to find someone to replace him.
In Lin Yun's eyes, that person was Faleau.
To be honest, Faleau couldn't be considered a genius in the field of alchemy. Compared to the other geniuses Lin Yun had seen, his talent was far from outstanding. At most, he would be considered a mid-tier talent.
But Faleau had two strong points: diligence and eagerness to learn.
Among the many alchemists Lin Yun had seen, Faleau was the most diligent one. Lin Yun would often see Faleau staying in the laboratory until midnight. Although most of the time, the difficult problems Faleau had to solve weren't worth mentioning in Lin Yun's eyes, this kind of diligence was definitely one of the most important qualities of an outstanding alchemist.
It could be said that Lin Yun had watched Faleau step by step from the Alchemist realm to the Great Alchemist realm, and then watched Faleau fumble his way through the Great Alchemist realm. It wasn't particularly fast, but it was very solid. He climbed step by step towards the peak of the Great Alchemist realm. If one carefully analyzed Faleau's path of advancement, they could clearly see that it was a straight line.
It wasn't a big increase, but it was very stable.
This also meant that Faleau almost never met any bottlenecks and rarely stagnated in the field of alchemy.
This wasn't a joke.
Among Noscent's numerous alchemists, how many of them hadn't stagnated at some point? Someone as powerful as the master of the Mercury Tower, Nolan, as powerful as the future Saint Alchemist Osul, had been troubled by bottlenecks to the point of insanity.
Naturally, comparing Faleau to them might be a bit unfair. After all, everyone was on a completely different level.
But so what if they were compared to those young alchemists known as geniuses?
Almost all the alchemy geniuses of the kingdom were gathered in the Mercury Tower. There were quite a few Master Alchemists in their twenties, and according to Karon, there was even a peak Master Alchemist less than 30 years old. But these geniuses were also plagued by all kinds of bottlenecks. There were too many cases where their alchemy skills remained stagnant after a year or two.
