Chapter 236: Study Time Next (Ask for Subscriptions, Ask for Collections, Ask for Tickets)
After figuring out the question, Ryan stood up and went to find Rogen. After rounding a tall cabinet, he saw Luo Zhen standing there refining something on a stone alchemy platform.
Seven or eight minutes later, as a flash of silver light, a shiny stone appeared in Luo Zhen's hand. He looked at the box that had received the stone on the table. Then he turned around and said, "You got it, so tell me what the hell you're thinking of this time?"
"As soon as I thought about it, I realized that in fact, all the skills I learned were methods that my ancestors had summed up after observing and practicing and understanding the world, and they could use some of the world's powers. Whatever the source of these powers, they are all the same. Ryan said with some trepidation the conclusion he had just come to after thinking about it.
"Very well, I think it's good enough for your age to think of this. Luo Zhen nodded. "You know what? I'm not the only one who has said this to you, but all but my daughter are full of God's creation of the world, and all power comes from God. Some people even directly denounced me for blaspheming the realm of God by doing these studies. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Zhen shook his head helplessly. Then he said to Ryan, "At least you're a lot better than the people I know." ”
"It's not necessarily that I'm stronger, it's just that I'm living in a much more enlightened environment than I am now. The similar education I received from a young age made me less confined in this area of thinking. Ryan said modestly.
"It's good, it's good to be able to recognize yourself. The most taboo on the road to knowledge is arrogance. Luo Zhen nodded, and then said solemnly, "Actually, the only way to solve the problem you are worried about is to learn alchemy." I do not make this suggestion because I am an alchemist, but because as far as I know, this is the only path that can bring together all the power in you. ”
"Alchemy actually sees the human body as a universe as well. Luo Zhen began his teaching. "And alchemy, on the one hand, allows you to change the outside world, and on the other hand, it strengthens yourself and changes the state of your body. ”
"In alchemy, the most sacred thing is called alchemy stone, and in the East it is called Jindan. In some places, it is also called the Philosopher's Stone. There may be people who have refined some kind of alchemy stone that can prolong life to make gold, which is indeed a great achievement, but it is far from the limit of alchemy. At the very least, I think that a true alchemy stone should be able to create life from something inanimate, and at the same time echo itself with the alchemy stone, and constantly strengthen it until the ultimate truth is mastered. ”
Hearing this, Lane suddenly thought of the Jin Dan proposed in the Dao method he mastered, no wonder Luo Zhen just said that the so-called conflicting forces in his body were actually about the same.
In this first lesson, Ryan finally knew how to put all the powers at his disposal together. Although alchemy may not be the best solution, it is also the best method he can get his hands on at this stage.
And the core of all this lies in seeing oneself as a subject, and all the powers at one's disposal as part of the subject. All forces must be self-centered, not allow themselves to accommodate various forces.
In the days that followed, Luo Zhen poured out his experience in alchemy. And Ryan found his own path from this knowledge. A week after the first lesson, Ryan succeeded in crafting a rudimentary enchanted dagger.
This enchanted dagger is a little sharper and less prone to rust than a normal dagger, and it is mediocre in terms of performance. Even if you count the precious metals that are consumed in making this dagger, it can be said that this dagger is a failure.
However, Luo Zhen took the dagger and looked at it carefully, and nodded with a smile. "Looks like you really understand what alchemy is. ”
The reason why Luo Zhen said this was because he found that although this dagger was mixed with Dao spells and Runwen character spells, Ryan perfectly integrated the two runes together, forming a self-circulating whole.
"Now that you've laid the hardest foundation, it's all that's left to study in depth. Luo Zhen put down the dagger, took out a thick parchment book with four corners reinforced with bronze from the drawer behind him, and said, "It's just that what you're doing now is still very rusty, and it's because of your lack of experience." You can look at this stuff that I remember, it gives you enough knowledge. But you still have to keep in mind that this is just my summary. In addition to learning from the above experience, you should also combine your own reality and go out of your own way. ”
Ryan took the thick notebook with both hands, and then bowed deeply. "Thank you, teacher. ”
Luo Zhen shook his hand, "Go and see for yourself, I still have something to do." ”
"Teacher, what do you have to be busy with?" Ryan asked enthusiastically at this time, after all, he had accepted so much favor from his teacher, and he also wanted to reciprocate as much as he could.
"I can't be a senior alchemist, just forget it as a novice like you. Let's hurry up and read your book. After speaking, Luo Zhen was about to turn around. Ryan was unconvinced: "Although I am a pure novice in alchemy, after all, I have traveled in so many worlds, and I may be able to help you solve the problem from other angles." ”
"That's right. Luo Zhen turned around and said. "You know that my daughter Alice is an ordinary person without supernatural powers. Seeing Ryan nodding his head to indicate that he knew, Luo Zhen continued.
"But she has always longed for the life of an alchemist, to be honest, as a top alchemist, even if my daughter has a little extraordinary talent, no matter which direction of extraordinary power, I can help her adjust to the direction suitable for alchemy. I also have countless ways to improve someone's qualifications, and I can help her improve no matter how bad her qualifications are. The problem is that my daughter is missing that little bit of extraordinary seed in the first place. ”
"You're a wizard, is there a way for an ordinary person in your world to become a wizard?"
"Nope. Ryan shook his head honestly. "Becoming a wizard in our world is a completely random event, and it is true that wizards' children are more likely to become wizards, but it is not absolute. It is also possible for a great wizard to have a child who has no magic at all. ”
"Ahh But soon Ryan was heard to continue. "But when I traveled to a very strange world, I once obtained a crystal that ordinary people have telekinesis. ”
"What, where?" Luo Zhen pounced. It's a good thing he still kept his senses, otherwise he would have grabbed Ryan by the collar and questioned him.
"Please wait for me, I'll pick it up right away. With that, Ryan opened a small space and put his hand inside, and when he withdrew his arm, he had an extra box made of gold in his hand.
"This thing has radiation, and its radiation stimulates people to have mental power. That's why I usually keep it in a gold box to avoid accidental triggers. After speaking, he handed Luo Zhen the box containing the super energy crystal in the super runaway world.
"Thank you. Luo Zhen didn't want to stay for a moment after taking the box. He said to Ryan as he pushed him out of his alchemy lab. "I may have to go into retreat for a while, and you can study on your own during this time. If you need to experiment, you can get the materials from the large warehouse in the back. Also, help me take care of Alice, and tell her by the way that I have found a way to make her dream of becoming an alchemist, so I need to study it carefully. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan retreated to the door, and then slammed the door shut. It seems that Luo Zhen is very attentive to this matter, and as soon as he sees hope, he immediately does it.
"Teacher Luo Zhen, you are really at ease with me. Ryan smiled helplessly and shook his head. Carrying the thick notebook, he walked to the guest room where he lived.
