In the next few days, Lin Yun stayed in Karon's alchemy laboratory, ignoring all disturbances from the outside world as he single-mindedly processed the 20,000,000 golds Star Gem.
This was a very difficult task.
In the legends, the Star Gem was formed from the last bit of essence of a fallen star. Although it was only a bit, that bit came from the power of the entire world. That was why the Star Gem was so precious. It was because the Star Gem itself contained a bit of World Power.
This was also the real reason why Lin Yun valued this Star Gem so much.
To Lin Yun, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel wasn't just a True Spirit Magic Tool. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was related to the Magic Array and to Lin Yun's magic foundation. Now, the embryonic form of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel had already been completed. It only lacked the core to complete the transformation. As for how far it would transform, it would depend on the quality of the core.
In terms of quality, the Star Gem's quality was almost impeccable, and it also contained a bit of World Power. To Lin Yun, this was like a tailor-made core for the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. One Star Gem could directly transform the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel into a True Spirit Magic Tool, and more importantly, this Star Gem would give a bit of World Power to the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel.
At first, this bit of World Power might not have much of an effect, but as time slowly passed, as Lin Yun grew stronger and stronger, sooner or later, Lin Yun would find the path to the Heaven Rank. At that time, this bit of World Power would give Lin Yun unimaginable convenience. It was hardly an exaggeration to say that by relying on this bit of World Power, Lin Yun would have to walk half the distance compared to other Archmages.
This was the power of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. With the Star Gem as the core, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel would allow Lin Yun to come in contact with World Power earlier than any other Archmage, he would be able to reach the Heaven Rank earlier.
But …
It was also because of the existence of this little bit of World Energy that the Star Gem became extremely difficult to process. It couldn't be helped, the World Energy itself was not something that Lin Yun should come into contact with at his current level. The only thing Lin Yun could do was to use his knowledge and technology that surpassed this era by millions of years to make up for the gap in level.
Normally, Lin Yun would need at least a month to complete the processing of the Star Gem.
Fortunately, Lin Yun was currently in the most advanced laboratory of the entire Andalusia Kingdom. The facilities of this laboratory were too perfect. Lin Yun only needed three days to finish polishing and carving the Star Gem.
The polishing and carving shouldn't be underestimated.
At least half of the processing of the Star Gem had to be done on the polishing and engraving, especially the engraving of magic patterns. The Star Gem contained a bit of World Power and was a terrifying and sensitive body of energy. If it was slightly stimulated, the power of the Star Gem might explode. If that kind of power was released, even Lin Yun would have to use a Runic Shield to resist it.
The problem was that no one could maintain a Runic Shield 24 hours a day.
Thus, one had to be extremely careful when carving the magic patterns on the Star Gem. If there was a mistake, the alchemist might lose his life.
Lin Yun used three days to complete the two most nerve-racking tasks with the help of the advanced facilities of the alchemy laboratory.
On this day, after a short meditation, Lin Yun once again opened his eyes. He was planning to look for a mana crystal to charge the Star Gem when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." Lin Yun knew that the one knocking at this time could only be Karon.
Sure enough, when the door was opened, he saw Karon walking in with an unsightly expression.
"Did something happen, Sir Karon?"
"That …" Karon hesitated for a bit before saying in a negotiating tone, "Merlin, your Darkness Evil Python Skin encountered a small problem when processing it. I came this time to discuss with you whether we can change the processing plan …"
"Change the processing plan?" Lin Yun frowned when he heard this. If it was just an ordinary component, changing the processing plan wouldn't be a problem. At most, it would lose a bit of power or change the function. But his batch of magic materials was tailor-made for the Doom Staff. It could be said that they were all linked together, forming a complete system. If one of them went wrong, the entire system would collapse.
"Yes, take a look at this …" Karon fished out a piece of paper from his pocket. It was one of the papers that Lin Yun had given him. On it was a solidifying array of the Annihilation Black Hole. "After this Annihilation Black Hole was stripped off, it can no longer solidify. So I'm saying that we should embed a Marin Ray here to make up for the defect caused by the Annihilation Black Hole's inability to solidify …"
"No …" Lin Yun only glanced at it before shaking his head, rejecting Karon's suggestion.
"This …"
"It really won't do, Sir Karon. Although the effect of the Marin Ray is similar to that of the Annihilation Black Hole, if I can't solidify the Annihilation Black Hole here, the entire Void Evil Python Skin would be wasted …"
"Merlin, it's just replacing it with a Marin Ray, there is no need to be so serious …" Karon frowned when he heard Lin Yun's words. He had originally agreed to help out of a favor, but now, the solidifying of the Annihilation Black Hole wasn't very realistic. The Master Alchemists under him had already been arguing over this matter. They felt that this method was making things difficult for everyone, and some even wanted to quit. Karon managed to suppress the objections and wanted to discuss it with this young High Mage so that everyone could take a step back, but he hadn't expected that young High Mage to be so unreasonable.
Lin Yun looked at Karon and knew what this Archmage was thinking.
But after thinking about it, Karon's reaction could be considered normal.
In the end, he could only blame himself for not considering the difference between the two eras.
Solidifying the Annihilation Black Hole wouldn't have been difficult during the peak of the Magic Era. Any Master Alchemist could easily accomplish it, but it wasn't possible now. The current alchemy technology was thousands of years behind the peak of the Magic Era. To the current Master Alchemists, this was an unsolvable problem.
After figuring this out, Lin Yun softly sighed. "Listen to me, Sir Karon, solidifying the Annihilation Black Hole here isn't a problem, as long as …"
"Hold on …" But before Lin Yun could finish, Karon's expression suddenly changed.
He then fished out an eyeball-sized crystal ball from his pocket.
At this moment, the crystal ball was flashing with a dazzling red light. Vaguely, one could see a battlefield filled with smoke.
"Sh * t, something happened in the Golden Forest Plane, I have to rush over to help. Merlin, if you don't have anything else to do, you should stay in the Mercury Tower for now. Once I return, I'll discuss with you how to solve the problem of the Annihilation Black Hole …"
"Ah …" Lin Yun became anxious when he heard this. Planar Wars often took months. By the time Karon returned, it would be too late. He still had to wait for the Doom Staff to be completed before exploring the Tulan Mountain Range. Thinking of this, Lin Yun promptly pulled Karon back. "How about this, Sir Karon, I'll discuss the problem of solidifying the Annihilation Black Hole with the Mercury Tower's Master Alchemists …"
"Okay, okay, go discuss it with them, they are in the alchemy laboratory one floor below …" Karon couldn't be bothered with this at this time. After hurriedly saying those words, he chanted an incantation to open the Planar Path and disappeared into the distorted void.
"Hey …" Lin Yun was stunned. 'Are all Archmages like this? Damnit, I still haven't finished talking … '
'Forget it, I'll go discuss the solution with the Master Alchemists one floor below …'
Lin Yun sighed and temporarily gave up on charging the Star Gem. After hastily tidying up the laboratory, he pushed open the door and slowly walked downstairs.
At this time, the laboratory downstairs had already been temporarily shut down due to the problem of solidifying the Annihilation Black Hole. When Lin Yun entered, he only saw a middle-aged alchemist staring at the Darkness Evil Python's skin, racking his brains.
"Why haven't you left yet?" The middle-aged alchemist frowned when he heard the footsteps. He didn't even raise his head as he berated, "Is this a place where you can casually come and go?"
"Ah?" Lin Yun froze for a moment before reacting. The middle-aged alchemist's berating was directed at him.
"Eh what eh …" Seeing that Lin Yun didn't immediately leave, the middle-aged alchemist frowned even more. "Whose disciple are you? How could you not understand the rules? The alchemy tools here are the most advanced of the kingdom, and the magic materials here are all priceless. If you carelessly barge in and break something, you won't be able to pay for it even if you sell yourself. Hurry up and leave …"
"I am Sir Karon …" Lin Yun originally wanted to say that he was Sir Karon's friend.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the middle-aged alchemist. "Sir Karon's disciple? Don't think I don't know that Sir Karon hasn't had a disciple for ten years. Speak, who are you? Why did you break in here? "
"…"
"What, you don't want to say? Good, I'll capture you first and then have your teacher come over to pick you up. You are becoming more and more unruly, I want to see who taught a student like you … "
After saying that, the middle-aged alchemist stood up and didn't use any incantations. He only raised his hand and released mana, transforming it into a Mana Shackle around Lin Yun that fiercely wrapped around him.
