Chapter 790 Ying Zijin: Alchemy, that’s it? 【1st update】
The word alchemy is not unfamiliar to the residents of the World City.
But you will never encounter it in your daily life.
After all, alchemy is different from biological genetic engineering or aerospace mechanical engineering. If you want to practice alchemy, you must first have alchemical talent.
Without alchemical talent, one cannot even recognize alchemical terminology, let alone learn alchemy.
Back then, after the previous patriarch and eldest lady of the Laneger family passed away, the Sage Academy originally just wanted to pick someone at random to train.
The first one I picked was Sinai.
In the end, he accidentally discovered that Shiloh had a talent for alchemy, so he immediately chose to give up Sinai and took Shiloh away.
Over the years, Shiloh has also become a successful alchemist.
[The child has lived for so long, and finally he can see real alchemy! 】
[To give you a brief introduction, alchemy is not something that can be learned. It requires talent, do you understand? 】
[If Ying Zijin had a talent for alchemy, he would definitely enter the School of Biological Genetics. Would he be able to stay in the School of Engineering? 】
There are two sages standing behind the Institute of Biological Genetics. Anyone with vision knows which one to choose.
"There is definitely no problem with Yaoyao's medical skills." Su Wen frowned slightly, "But this alchemy..."
Ying Zijin's medical skills are unmatched even by the sage magician.
The housekeeper said directly: "Don't worry, Madam, the young lady will definitely know everything!"
Su asked: "..."
She said tactfully: "When I have time, I'll let Yaoyao take a look at you."
She recently discovered that something was wrong with the housekeeper.
The housekeeper felt very upset.
The cheering signs he made were snatched away by the eldest daughter and could not be handed to the son-in-law.
As the saying goes, you must first overwhelm the opponent with your momentum.
"Zijin, you have probably never been exposed to alchemy." Xi Luo smiled, "You may not know what alchemy is. Let me show you."
As she spoke, she picked up a stone from the material box: "For example, this stone, I can use alchemy to turn it into gold."
Shiloh shook another medicine bottle, which contained a green potion.
She dropped a few drops of the potion onto the stone.
“Buzz——”
There were wisps of smoke rising up and the rocks shaking.
In full view of everyone, in just a few seconds, the stone turned into gold.
The element detector next to it also proves this to be the case.
Alchemy broke the traditional principles of chemistry.
[Turning stone into gold, that’s awesome, it’s really alchemy! 】
[Well, maybe Ying Zijin can still compete in terms of fighting strength. I heard that she can beat the students from the School of Biological Genetics. But how can she compare in terms of alchemy? 】
Shiloh smiled again: "Do you understand? We are better than this. This is the basics."
But without the talent for alchemy, he couldn't even make potions.
She watched how Ying Zijin made a fool of himself.
"Well, turning stone into gold is indeed the foundation of alchemy." Ying Zijin slowly raised his eyes, "It's not very challenging, let's change it."
"Not a challenge?" Xi Luo finally frowned and sneered, "Are you kidding me?"
[I don’t mean to say that Ying Zijin is a little too arrogant. Does she think she knows everything? 】
[People coming from outside the city have narrow vision, so we should be more tolerant.] 】
"Yes." Ying Zijin's eyebrows were indifferent. He also took out a bottle of potion and slowly poured it on the stone. "It's not challenging."
“Sizzle!”
There was also a gust of white mist passing by, and after the mist dissipated, a bright golden light flashed.
There was another piece of gold on the table.
“…”
The scene suddenly became very quiet.
All the comments in the live broadcast room are gone.
It wasn't until thirty seconds later that someone finally came to their senses.
[What the hell?] ! 】
[Yingshen is a mechanical genius who advocates science, but he also understands supernatural science...]
[Sorry guys, I've made a mistake. I take back what I said. 】
This was beyond everyone's expectations.
The housekeeper was very proud: "Look, Madam, I told you that the young lady would know everything."
Su Wen nodded and agreed: "You are still quite normal now."
Shiloh's expression changed drastically and he stood up suddenly.
She looked at the gold in front of her in disbelief.
Ying Zijin came from China, how come he also knows alchemy? !
Even if alchemy spread to the seven continents and four oceans a few centuries ago, it was only spread to continent O.
Moreover, the alchemy world has never been open to the outside world.
Most importantly, apart from alchemy, there is no other technology that can directly turn stone into gold.
Shiloh's face burned with pain as he recalled his previous words.
The fingers are also clenched.
Ying Zijin actually knows alchemy!
"Yes, it is not challenging at all." Xi Luo slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and sneered, "Since it is not challenging at all, let's start refining the Philosopher's Stone now."
"In front of everyone, let's see who can refine the Philosopher's Stone with higher quality!"
Turning stone into gold is indeed the most basic alchemy, and even an alchemy apprentice can do it.
But not everyone can refine the philosopher's stone.
It’s just a bottle of medicine. Maybe Ying Zijin bought it online.
But if it is done on the spot, everything will be exposed.
Sinai's expression changed: "The Philosopher's Stone..."
Of course she had heard of the Philosopher's Stone.
Simply put, the Philosopher's Stone is the so-called "elixir of life".
Of course, there is no absolute immortality, and the Philosopher's Stone can only prolong human life.
The Philosopher's Stone is an absolutely pure element without any impurities, but it looks no different from a blood-red gem.
Because it was originally invented by a magician, it was also given the word "sage".
The Philosopher's Stone is definitely one of the best alchemical drugs.
There are only a handful of alchemists in the World City who can refine it.
Has Shiloh reached the level where he can refine the Philosopher's Stone?
"What are you worried about?" Norton noticed Sinai's uneasiness, "Your niece is a pervert, don't you know?"
"I know." Sinai sighed, "This has nothing to do with my concern for her."
"Kid, it's better to worry about yourself first."
"I'm twenty-six!"
"Oh, I know, but you are only 1.2 meters tall now."
“…”
Sinai looked at her own hands and was so choked that she couldn't speak.
And just as she was sulking, a big hand gently ruffled her hair.
Norton said calmly: "Don't worry, she has a strong learning ability. After three years of learning alchemy, she will be able to refine the Philosopher's Stone."
"Oh." Sinai nodded, "Then who did you learn alchemy from?"
Norton crossed his arms. "Do I need to learn alchemy from anyone? Sorry, I'm self-taught."
Sinai: “…”
Not only does he bully her, he's also narcissistic.
Shiloh proposed a competition in refining the Philosopher's Stone, which also exceeded the referee's expectations.
But before coming, Sara had already given orders to comply with all of Shiloh's proposals.
The referee had no choice but to look at the girl: "What do you mean, young lady?"
"The Philosopher's Stone." Ying Zijin tapped the table with his fingers, as if pondering, "Okay."
She still looked lazy, as if she didn't care about anything.
This is what Shiloh hates the most.
It reminded her of the days when she competed with Sinai.
Every time it's like punching cotton, a waste of effort.
The referee nodded and signaled the guards to hand over the prepared alchemical materials.
At the same time, an alchemist from the Institute of Biological Genetics was invited to be responsible for the final result testing.
Ying Zijin looked at the boxes of alchemical herbs, thoughtfully.
It’s pretty good to get so much material for free.
It saved her a ton of money.
The table is also filled with various potion bottles and smelting equipment.
In order to prevent an explosion during the refining of the Philosopher's Stone, specialists set up a protective shield.
Ying Zijin's eyes were cold and calm as he very accurately prepared the alchemical materials and began the first step of grinding them into powder.
Shiloh also moved quickly.
Before long, the two of them were filled with medicine bottles of various colors.
[Brothers, this is no good. I have to leave. I am a chemistry and science student and I don’t understand what they are doing. Supernatural is supernatural. 】
[The young lady is quite capable. Do you think she is more professional than Miss Shiloh? 】
[I'm going to vote for the young lady right now!] 】
Do you know alchemy? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Miss Shiloh's alchemy was taught by the magician himself. How could she lose? 】
An hour later, Ying Zijin put down the last potion bottle.
Inside the glass cover, a blood-red transparent stone has completely taken shape.
Philosopher's Stone!
After doing all this, the girl leaned back in her chair and pushed her hat down to cover half of her face.
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
Everyone: “……???”
Su Wen was worried: "Did Yaoyao not sleep well last night? She looks so tired."
"Definitely not. Miss, this is called psychological warfare." The butler clenched his fist, "She is telling her opponent that you are a loser!"
"I've already finished and can go to bed, but you're still working on it, what a loser!"
Su asked: "..."
She found that something was still wrong with the housekeeper.
Another two hours passed before Shiloh completed the last step.
She shook the Philosopher's Stone in the beaker. "Mr. Flamel, it's ready for testing."
The alchemist took it: "Okay, Miss Shiloh."
He put the philosopher's stone refined by Shiloh into the testing instrument.
Soon, the results popped up and were projected onto a large screen.
Quality: Good
Extended lifespan: 40 years
Rating: C
A rating of C proves that the Philosopher's Stone has been successfully refined.
Of course, apart from the magician, only the chief alchemist under his command can refine the S-level Philosopher's Stone.
Shiloh was able to refine the Philosopher's Stone, so he really had a great talent.
[Miss Shiloh is awesome! 】
[But I think the quality of the Philosopher's Stone of the eldest lady is better than hers. 】
[Looking good doesn’t mean it’s of high quality, do you understand? 】
"Miss, Miss Shiloh has finished the test." The chief judge reminded the girl tactfully, "If you have finished it, you can submit it."
"Hmm?" Ying Zijin yawned, straightened up, sleepy eyes, and a little hoarse in his voice, "I just fell asleep, let's test it."
Shiloh's expression instantly shattered and became distorted.
The patriarch fell asleep during the election? !
Did you take her seriously?
Shiloh glanced coldly at the Philosopher's Stone that the girl handed over.
The color is quite real.
I don’t know if it’s just a flower stand.
The alchemist placed the second Philosopher's Stone into the testing instrument and looked up at the screen.
The next second, his body suddenly twitched convulsively as if struck by lightning.
His expression also changed from calm to astonishment, his whole body broke apart, he stood there unable to recover, his eyes dull, as if he had seen a ghost.
[Shit, look at Mr. Flamel’s expression, could it be…]
[This is impossible?] This is alchemy! ! ! 】
[Brothers, I have a bold guess. 】
Shiloh also had a bad feeling in his heart, and his heart was in his throat: "Mr. Flamel?"
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
How is it possible to refine the Philosopher's Stone in such a short time?
She has studied alchemy for twenty years.
The alchemist looked at Shiloh with some embarrassment, but there was nothing he could do.
This is a public competition.
The Wise Queen originally prepared such a process in order to prevent Ying Zijin from cheating.
There was no way to save Shiloh's face in front of everyone.
As a result, he shot himself in the foot.
The alchemist could only display the test results in front of everyone.
The evaluation results appeared on the big screen.
Everyone looked up.
Norton just took a look, his eyebrows moved, and his lips curled: "Tsk, that's her temper, she really held back."
"Holding back? How much was that?" Sinai was also a little nervous and looked over immediately.
Quality: Perfect
Extended lifespan: 80 years
Rating: A!
A-grade Philosopher's Stone!
Sinai: “……???”
Is this called holding back? !
Daily request for a ticket~~
Many novels about alchemy contain the Philosopher's Stone, which is a prop in Western alchemy legends.
Like the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles, it is an article in the Chinese medicine acupuncture chapter. They are all technical terms and can be used by anyone~
