Chapter 71: Lost Alchemy Formula
"Wuhu, we've moved to a new house!"
The weather was still gloomy in the afternoon, but it couldn't stop Carter's cheers and Lisa's excitement.
In order to solve the housing problem, and because he was relatively wealthy at the time, Rune spent fifty gold coins to buy the shop next to the alchemy workshop.
As their settlement in Beloberg.
This house covers an area of about 300 square meters and comes with a small yard.
In addition to the alchemy workshop next to it, the other nearest shops are also about ten meters apart.
Placed together with the alchemy workshop, it can be regarded as a different kind of "single-family villa".
Carter was very happy with the new house.
After more than ten years of wandering, he finally had a home of his own.
Although as a pirate, he will have to continue his journey sooner or later, the meaning of home is still very important.
This is a spiritual sustenance.
For Lisa, she was in a good mood.
Strictly speaking, the house next to it originally belonged to their family.
However, after her father died in an alchemy accident, the shop here was sold to a businessman for use as a warehouse.
But think about it, in such a remote place, there are alchemy rituals going on all day and night next to it. Ordinary people living here would have been killed by the noise.
There is no other use except as a warehouse.
Now that Rune has bought the shop back, she and Little Carter are also working hard on the house renovation.
Cleaning up the debris, repairing the yard, adding furniture, and setting up a new alchemy place
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
And Rune, in the yard, polishing the materials needed for the lv.3 ultimate bomb.
After finishing, he stared at an alchemy box in a daze.
This alchemy box was given to him by Lisa.
Last time, Lisa boasted that she would help Rune find information about the Hydra gold coin, but she found nothing and drank a lot of wine for nothing.
Lisa has always remembered this matter.
Now it happens that Rune is at the beginning before the sequence advancement, so Lisa gave this thing to Rune.
Here is his father's research on alchemy.
Alchemy. This word has a long history.
Long before the establishment of the empire, this technique has been widely circulated and even became the mainstream of the continent.
However, people all regarded it as "a means beyond the extraordinary" and it was not considered an extraordinary sequence.
Later, with the advent of gods and the awakening of various extraordinary beings, the status of alchemy gradually declined.
It was not until the establishment of the empire that alchemy was officially listed as an "extraordinary sequence" again.
In the division of the empire, alchemists are divided into four levels.
Alchemy apprentices, alchemists, and alchemy masters.
And alchemy saints.
Those who master the basic alchemy array and are familiar with the basic alchemy knowledge can be called alchemy apprentices, which is also the stage that Rune has just left.
Those who perfectly master the basic array, have a deep understanding of alchemy knowledge, have their own unique alchemy formula, and can independently invent alchemy creations are called alchemists.
Only those who have made major alchemical inventions, promoted alchemy, or reached the pinnacle of existing alchemy can be called alchemy masters.
Such people, in the entire vast empire, do not exceed 300.
As for alchemy saints, there are even fewer, a total of six.
To become a saint, in addition to one's own strength, one needs to make pioneering research in alchemy!
For example, the saint "Broken Gear Kuleya", he believes in the broken god "Macan", and believes that all machines have their souls. Under the blessing of the gods and self-awakening, she built the mechanical skynet of the empire.
Another example is the saint "Forged Iron Army Aleister", he is still the general of the empire. Everything he invented is mainly based on war and practicality. He invented "communication alchemical machine", "ship drive device", "iron blood tiller", etc. In addition, a large number of weapons are also from his hands.
Among them, the more famous ones are Storm Hammer, Heaven Punishment Iron Fist, etc.
The strength and contribution of each saint are obvious to all.
According to Lisa, her father "Bray" was also an alchemist, and even almost touched the threshold of a saint.
This research material was left by her father, hoping that she would inherit his path and continue research.
Now, Lisa has her own research direction in alchemy.
She can no longer use this material.
It will just gather dust there, so it is better to give it to Rune as a reward for the wine.
In this regard, Rune can only say that more transactions like this are needed!
Big profit!
"This box has no mechanical structure, nor any password or other prompts, but all array patterns."
"It must be unlocked with some kind of array or ritual."
Rune looked at the box over and over again, and finally came to such a conclusion.
After observing carefully for a while, he understood.
"There are thousands of alchemists in the world."
"Each of them walks on his own path from the basics."
"Even between the basic alchemy arrays, the inheritance of each alchemist is different."
"This box requires the basic alchemy array of Lisa's lineage to reach the maximum level to open it!"
"Perhaps, this is also a kind of protection for Lisa, fearing that she will open the box too early"
Thinking of this, the basic alchemy array took shape in Rune's hands and instantly covered the box.
The array pattern on the box matched the veins of the basic alchemy array, and suddenly became disordered as if it was awakened.
The lines of the array pattern changed in a thousand ways, interweaving into different patterns.
Finally, the outer shell of the box quickly shrank inwards and turned into a core composed of multiple metal cuboids the size of little fingers.
Rune's peeping eye was activated.
——
[Strange Item]: Incomplete Alchemy Core
[Level]: Legend (Incomplete) lv.10
[Features (Absolute Owner)]: After recognizing the owner, it cannot be discarded, dropped, stolen, or occupied unless the previous owner dies.
——
[Recognizing the owner]
The core is the size of a fist, with a dark golden luster flowing on it.
It floated in the air, and was slightly agitated because it felt the alchemy breath of the same origin on Rune.
Rune stretched out his hand, and the core quickly reached his palm, and then drilled directly into it!
A dark golden complex rune was quickly outlined on his hand.
The entire rune is composed of circles, regular hexagons, and irregular curves. It rotates continuously in the palm of the hand and finally slowly takes shape.
In front of Rune, the entire content of the alchemy formula also appeared! ——
[Features (incomplete)]: Can be upgraded with the holder; the feature level increases with the core level; the strength is greatly improved after completion

[Characteristics (Not Unlocked)]:——
"This"
Looking at the super-level alchemical formula in his hand, Rune fell into a long stagnation.
Originally, he thought that Lisa's description of his father was mixed with many false elements.
What alchemical master, he is about to come into contact with the existence of a saint
But now, everything in front of him makes him believe it!
Legendary alchemical formula, simply against the sky!
Countless knowledge, in an instant, quickly entered Rune's mind.
The unknown functions and refining details of each alchemical material were quickly absorbed and accepted by him.
——
[Basic Alchemy lv.10 (↑5)]: Alchemy creation effect increased by 50% (↑25%)
[Basic Alchemy is upgraded to (Alchemy)! ]
[Alchemy level increased! ]
[Alchemy level increased! ]
[.]
[Alchemy Lv10 (full)]: Alchemy creation effect increased by 150%!
——
Alchemy was directly upgraded to lv.10!
It saved Rune a lot of effort.
"Is this the true power of an alchemist?"
After absorbing the knowledge, although Rune did not have the full sense of power after his body was strengthened, he always had a mysterious feeling in his heart.
He looked at everything around him, as if he could see symbols and numbers on them.
He only needed to think about it to refine it into something.
He opened his palm, and the dirt and stones on the ground instantly turned into a knife!
Although the super-level refining array only shows a 1000% refining speed bonus, Rune can feel that in actual application, the refining speed bonus is definitely more than ten times, and even more!
——
[Alchemical Creation: Earth Blade]
[Level]: Lv.10
[Ability]: Slash, cause 20 times the spiritual increase in damage to the enemy, maximum spiritual value (4)
——
"Enhance!"
As Rune's thoughts moved, lines quickly spread across the blade.
The original earth blade was quickly refined, becoming more textured and even faintly reflective.
[Alchemical Creation: Strengthened Blade]: Cause 30 times the spiritual increase in damage to the enemy, maximum spiritual value (6)!
With one swing of the knife, the wood next to it that was prepared for the renovation of the house broke into two pieces.
"Horrible." Rune took a deep breath.
The blade made of mud, after being strengthened, is more powerful than many weapons made of metal!
And the speed of refining is also very fast
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Rune still couldn't calm down.
If what was just shown was the combat power that a powerful alchemist could possess.
Then the last one of this super-level alchemy formula is the most powerful existence of this core.
Alchemy body!
In the alchemy world, there are three taboos.
First, it is not allowed to refine the Philosopher's Stone.
As a universal material and the root of the elements, the Philosopher's Stone has the terrifying power to contain everything and kill everything.
If you want to refine it, you don't know how much it will cost and how much you will sacrifice.
Even though the Philosopher's Stone is just an idea of the alchemists, it is still forbidden to refine it.
Second, it is not allowed to refine gold.
As an important thing in alchemy, gold has a very high status.
According to legend, there are currently means to refine gold, but the cost is much greater than the refined gold, and the refined gold loses the original properties of gold.
The most important thing is that if the means of refining gold in large batches are mastered, "sub-gold" will flow into the market, which will cause great trouble to the empire's economy and alchemists' refining.
Third, any refining related to the human body is not allowed!
Human refining is the taboo among the three taboos of alchemy.
Because it is the least costly and most likely to succeed among the three taboos.
You only need to experiment on living people to start the refining experiment.
If human refining is allowed, many alchemists may go astray and capture innocent ordinary people for experiments, and even extraordinary people will be involved.
The Hydra Church did this.
At the same time, for example, "resurrection", which violates the laws of nature, there will be a large number of experimenters.
It will eventually cause endless troubles.
In historical records, the refining due to resurrection has caused many consequences such as "the appearance of dimensional cracks, monster invasions", "the arrival of thunder, indiscriminate killings", etc.
Therefore, human body refining has always been prohibited.
Although the last characteristic of the core that Rune currently masters, the alchemical body, is not human refining, it also has similarities with it.
"Integrate one thing into your body."
In Rune's mind, he immediately thought about what he had.
At present, his most powerful things are no different from five items.
"Destiny", "Giant Snake Fang", "White Snake Scales", "Heart of Shadow Giant", "Crystal of Shadow Cyclops".
"Destiny cannot be integrated."
"Giant Snake Fang? This thing has side effects, and it might poison you to death"
"White Snake Scales are good"
"Giant's heart and crystals are also good things!"
After some consideration, Rune decided to integrate the white snake scales into his body!
In fact, after the giant's heart and crystal are integrated into the body, it can be foreseen that one will strengthen the body and the other will strengthen the spirit.
But Rune has other uses for them.
At the same time, the benefits of integrating the scales are also obvious.
First, after the scales are integrated, his actions will be more convenient. Second, after the scales are integrated into the body, it can also enjoy the increase brought by its "pure manliness".
Even if this increase is greatly weakened, it is also extremely terrifying!
Rune's mind moved, and the runes in his hand moved quickly.
Dark golden silk threads outlined the whole body.
On the white scales, it was also covered by silk threads.
The dark golden law lines flickered, as if breathing, and the scales seemed to come alive.
In the end, the breathing of the scales gradually synchronized with Rune's breathing!
It was law-based!
It became a formation rune, engraved on Rune, and then gradually dimmed and disappeared.
As long as Rune quickly operated his spirituality, these law threads would appear on his body again.
Looking at the panel, Rune narrowed his eyes.
The white snake scales are immune to physical attacks below the spiritual value (500), and have 20% resistance to magic below the spiritual value (1000).
After merging with his body, he can enjoy 225%, which is half of the pure manly bonus!
After the pure manly is fully stacked, Rune can be immune to physical attacks below 1125, and has 45% resistance to magic below the spiritual value (1000)!
It can be said that he has obtained the sublimation of the law!
A powerful weapon for bullying weaklings!
Rune clenched his fists, "No wonder so many people pursue the power of taboo. Taboo may also mean strength."
"No wonder Lisa's father said that he could touch the threshold of the saint."
"If we continue to study this core, there is definitely the potential of the saint."
He calmed down, "Now, the alchemy array has been obtained, and there is an advanced sequence of potion formula in the core data that is very suitable."
"We just need to recast our fate, and then use the giant heart and crystals to exchange some materials to make potions."
"Sequence 7 can be done."
