Chapter 2 Alchemy
The old man was finally buried by Newton, and the small mountain village basically made the funeral a beautiful place for the old man's death, and Newton also told the villagers that he didn't want to stay in the small mountain village.
This is not a surprise to the villagers, as power-ups are really not very important here. Because the old man's skills, to be honest, are really poor, and his usual business is basically relying on some herbs to survive, but there are doctors in herbal medicine, but once or twice in a while, if it weren't for the wild vegetables and fruits he collected, Newton estimated that he would have to starve to death even if he was picked up. As for hunting? I'm sorry, one old and one young, who has that ability, not to mention the existence of Warcraft in this world, although that thing is said to be a small mountain village that has not been encountered for thousands of years, but once it is encountered, it is the result of the annihilation.
It's just that Newton doesn't plan to leave like this, Newton has studied the occult in his last life, and it can be said that he has had many dangerous experiences, so if he doesn't fight an unprepared battle, Newton has to ensure that he has the ability to protect himself. And this, thanks to the old man who left an epiphany note.
The content in the notes is very miscellaneous, and the enchantment of the herb maker can be said to involve all aspects, and there are some incendiary bombs and the like, well, in fact, alchemy is not also the predecessor of modern chemistry. But in this world, with magic, it is clear that alchemy has an even more incredible power.
What intrigued Newton the most was the alchemy recorded in the last part of the book, which, according to the above description, was a kind of magic that was exchanged for equal value through alchemy arrays. Even a little stone can be turned into gold, and this kind of alchemy requires first an understanding of the original substance, then decomposition, then an understanding of the substance to be transformed, and then a reorganization. And the one that plays a role as a bridge in this is the existence called the Alchemy Array.
The reason why the old man doesn't know alchemy, seeing this, Newton has a general understanding, understanding matter, it's simple, but you ask the people here to say a composition of air, or the molecular formula of oxygen. Magic has brought great power in some ways, but it has also stalled in others.
At least now, Newton is extremely grateful for the exam-oriented education of that year, at least the cramming education really made Newton remember quite a few things.
"It's just an alchemy array......"
An Yi has some headaches about the drawing of the alchemy array and the problem of magic.
According to the book, all alchemy arrays are based on a circle shape. There must be a center point in the circle, and the upward force that gathers from the circumference to the center point is the cycle of power = the power of consent. In addition, the circle also indicates the time cycle required during the refining process or operation. A construct that expresses the process required for refining and the composition of matter. A construct is something that represents the composition and refining process of matter. From the perspective of modern learning, it can be seen as a chemical equation. After combining the structure with the circle, the formation is completed. Then, the alchemist sends the idea into the alchemy array, and the alchemy can be initiated.
At this time, Newton's previous life of studying the occult was manifested, although he did not practice it, and he did not know the authenticity of the original mystery books, but at least now Newton has a lot of material for his reference. However, the alchemy array is not so simple, if you want to create fire through the alchemy array, then your alchemy array or your materials must have the same properties as the fire, so the content of the alchemy array must be quite cautious. Although you can also draw multiple alchemy arrays, it takes time for you to activate the alchemy array, and the more familiar you are with an alchemy array, the faster it will be activated, and the less magic power will be consumed, so if you want to get multiple alchemy arrays, it is better to honestly make one that satisfies you.
As for magic, because the book says that alchemy is not made out of nothing, but an equivalent exchange, but you can also use a seed to directly change a villa, but this is obviously not an equivalent exchange, then the alchemist needs to pay another price, and this price is magic, and when your magic power is insufficient, you will charge a part of your body or life force as a price.
It sounds like a demonic pact, but at least there's no demonic whisper to tempt you. As for whether or not to enter the alchemy is entirely up to you.
The following days seemed to be no different from before, Newton got up early every day to pick some food and medicinal herbs, and then returned to the store to study his alchemy array, as for magic, I have to say that the previous life really helped Newton a lot, because in the previous life, Newton knew a lot of meditation methods, but it was also fateful, and he tried them all, and there was no such thing as going crazy. It's just that Newton still practiced each of them for a week, felt the changes in his body, and chose a relatively stable meditation method as his daily practice.
As the days passed, Newton finally completed his alchemy array. On the periphery is a ring with runes learned by Newton in the middle, and a seven-pointed star in the center, with the symbol of the Seven Dawns painted on each corner.
Although there are few runes of Rune, they can almost be said to be ever-changing, and the same is true of the Seven Yao Runes, seven attributes, and the Seven Pointed Star is a legend with incredible power.
In fact, Newton also thought about using Huaxia's yin and yang gossip as his alchemy array, but when it was drawn, Newton had just entered the magic power, and the magic power accumulated in his body was empty in an instant. It's not just yin and yang gossip, just gossip, as long as Newton adds it, the consumption of magic power will be extremely terrifying, Newton can't even start it, let alone use it, so Newton gave up, or honestly test what he can use, at least at this stage, yin and yang gossip is not something he can touch.
And the current finished product is also tested by Newton, and it is the most suitable alchemy array for himself at this stage.
"Now it's the test."
After the finished product was completed, Newton naturally had to experiment, wearing a pair of gloves, the backs of his hands were painted with Newton's alchemy array, Newton's hands were on the table, and the same herbs were placed on the table.
"Alchemy!"
Comprehend – decompose – refine.
A pile of liquid was spilled on the table, and then there was a pile of waste next to it.
"Ah, I forgot to take the glass bottle."
Newton looked at the wetness on the table, his mouth was dissatisfied, but the smile on his face could not be concealed, because this time it proved that Newton's idea was right.
"It worked."
Newton stretched and looked at all the materials in the room, and the day of departure was near.
