"Have you already... refined the Sage's Stone?" Archer asked in a trembling voice.
There was silence in the hall for a while - this is probably the answer everyone wants to know.
The Sage's Stone is the culmination of alchemy in rumors, it has the ability to transform all things, and it is also the reason why alchemy is called sage scholarship. When used as a medium, it can turn ordinary iron and lead into precious metals, allowing people to have inexhaustible wealth, which is the origin of turning stone into gold.
"The stone that transforms all things... That thing is just something that ancient alchemists made up when they wanted to be lazy," Kaimo waved his hand. "What I want to show you is the mystery of the world."
I saw him take out a peculiar crystal glass tube from his pocket and display it generously in front of the alchemists.
Everyone craned their necks, and Lightning was no exception. The tube was about two fingers thick, and both ends were completely sealed. The tube contained some brown-red powder. It was plain and dull. At first glance, it looked like dry soil. I didn't know how to fill it.
Afterwards, Kaimo asked someone to bring a glass of clean water, and he picked up a piece of chrysolite from the table and smashed one end of the glass tube into pieces.
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Even Laitning felt heartache. The transparent and flawless color was clearly a fine crystal glass, and he wanted to burn it into such a well-proportioned tube shape. . However, this also made him realize that the fourth prince was not lying when he said that crystal glass had been developed in the territory - the Capital Alchemy Association would never produce such a strange container.
The water was brought up quickly, Kaimo poured the powder in the tube into the cup, the water slowly turned yellow-green, and the powder disappeared.
"You have lead rods here," he said, turning around. "Take two of the best quality."
"Wait!" Rayleigh said, "Since it's an alchemy reaction, then whoever does it is the same, right? I've seen some street performers who are very good at blindfolding and can exchange bronze eagles for golden dragons in full view of the crowd. ... I'm not doubting you, but in this case, it's better to be cautious." He looked at the other two chiefs, "What do you think?"
"Indeed," Archer said slowly.
Lightning hesitated, everyone could see that Rayleigh was clearly suspicious, and it was a bit rude to compare the other party to a street performer, but at this time he had to stand on the side of the Alchemy Association, "I also... agree. "
I thought that the chief alchemist of Border Town would be furious, but he didn't expect that Kaimer Stryll just smiled, "Of course, there is no difference between the alchemist and the apprentice doing the last step, as I said. , The essence of alchemy is simple, orderly, and rooted to the end. Who are you?"
"Let me come," Laitning felt his heart beating so fast that he didn't even dare to look at Kemo, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity when facing the magic of turning stone into gold-could this cup of yellow-green liquid, Can lead really be turned into gold
The apprentice quickly picked up the material. This is a lead bar that has been repeatedly refined. Its appearance is bluish-white. It is usually placed in a wooden box padded with cotton cloth. It is considered to be the best quality stock. Lightning picked up one, put it into the cup carefully, and was surprised to find that the surface of the lead rod showed a touch of gold!
He felt his hands shaking uncontrollably.
"Look! Something seems to have grown!"
"Golden... gosh, it's golden!"
"Is that gold?"
"It could also be copper!"
The discussion behind Laitning suddenly grew louder. He turned his head and saw that all the alchemists and disciples were wide-eyed, staring intently at the changes in the water cups on the long table. His tone was full of shock and inconceivable. Archer was confused, as if he had lost his way.
He himself felt the same at the moment... Could it be that alchemy is really as Kaimo said, with no change in itself, it is completely concise and clear, and what he thinks is chaos and disorder, is it just because of the wrong path
So what have they been doing for decades
When the lead rod was taken out, filaments had bloomed on the surface like coral.
"These are... copper!" Rayleigh bit his lip and roared with the last of his strength, "You can't know how to turn a stone into gold! It's unreasonable! Otherwise, you can buy the entire Graycastle with a golden dragon, and Not just being the chief alchemist of a small town lord!"
"I did not choose this path for the Golden Dragon, but to know the world," Kaimo's voice seemed to come from far away, "If you don't believe me, you can check it out... I think the chief of the royal capital. , don't you know how to distinguish between copper and gold?"
However, there was no reversal in the subsequent verification. The gold wire on the lead rod was cut off and placed on a plate. It was baked on the fire, and it quickly melted and gathered into a ball. It's clearly not copper - copper turns into an unsightly solid at high temperatures, and the metal solution rolling in the disk shines brighter, like a brilliant golden sun.
Real gold is not afraid of fire.
This is real gold.
The hall is already boiling!
"The alchemy formula that turns stone into gold actually exists!"
"Lord Kaimo, what do the symbols you wrote on the paper represent? Is that a formula for a higher realm?"
"Where did you learn this knowledge?"
"Chief, do you still accept disciples? I am willing to start as an apprentice!"
Kemo Stryer stretched out his hand and pressed the noisy shout, "Listen, everything you see today comes from an even older discipline, which not only includes all possible alchemy formulas, but also exposes all things The mystery of composition! Through it, you can even predict those alchemy formulas that you have never seen before, and turning a stone into gold is no exception! Just follow me to the Western Region, and I can teach you all these!"
Going to the west? Looking at His Majesty Roland Wimbledon with a smile on the side, Lightning stiffened in place... Is this the real purpose of the other party? But it was too late to wake up at this moment. The warm atmosphere at the scene was completely beyond his control. It is conceivable that if he could learn the art of turning a stone into gold, who would be willing to work for the association? I am afraid that no one of the alchemists in the hall will continue to stay here. The 100-year-old Royal Alchemy Association will collapse in a day.
In a trance, Lightning saw Kemo slowly approaching him.
"Do you remember twenty-seven years ago there was an apprentice who wanted to configure molten gold liquid?" He leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Because the two trials failed, you stole his purse. , and refused him to step into the door of the association again... In fact, it was only because the acid concentration you provided was not enough."
Laitning froze, the memories in his mind overlapped with the figure in front of him, and he opened his mouth in surprise, "You were the apprentice I reviewed at that time—"
"Yeah," Kaymer nodded, "I'm just here to get what I deserve."

I recommend a copy of "The Evil Emperor". The author opened up wasteland. The title of the book is slightly second. The content is quite good. If you like it, you can go and read it!
