Even though it's still winter, the chill is fading, and people in coats occasionally feel a little hot.

The people of the Green Apple Squad wandered around the Black Iron City in twos and threes, enjoying a rare relaxation.

Although Valentine's Day was also a holiday before, after all, facing the sports meeting, everyone's hearts were still a little nervous.

Now it's different, and everyone is not burdened until the next task is down.

"So, you want to learn alchemy?" Chu Yuan was a little surprised by this uninvited guest, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Yes. I had never been exposed to this thing before, but after this time of understanding, I also became interested in alchemy. ”

Kreese blushed slightly as he recalled Shiwen's alchemy.

"Okay, you first learn the basic composition of alchemy, you should know the four elements."

Krees nodded: "Fire and water, there seem to be animals in addition to this?" ”

"Yes, there are also a large number of animal symbols in alchemy, such as the four major elements, which are the eagle corresponding to air, the lion corresponding to earth, the fish corresponding to water, and the dragon corresponding to fire."

Seeing that Krees didn't show boredom, Chu Yuan continued to explain with some relief: "In fact, the four elements also have different meanings. ”

Krees carefully took out his notes and prepared to take notes.

"The gas element represents the heating and wetting of the alchemy process, and it also represents the breath of life, which is the actual metal representation of iron."

"The earth element represents the drying and cooling of the alchemy process, symbolizing creation and birth, and the actual metal is copper."

Hearing this, Krees asked with some curiosity, "Does the customary advent theory of the Black Iron City have anything to do with the earth element?" ”

Chu Yuan smiled indifferently: "Yes, but it's not just that." Alchemy was originally designed to convert common metals into rare precious metals, but in the process of refining it people discovered other things.

For example, the metamorphosis from uncleanness to purity, from ignorance to enlightenment, so that now people's purpose is only for precious metals.

They crave more things, such as alchemy machinery, and even use alchemy to create life. ”

Krees nodded thoughtfully, and after jotting down the key words, he asked, "What about the remaining two elements, and what do they represent?" ”

"Water represents cooling, dampness, purification, and metal corresponds to tin.

Fire, on the other hand, represents heating and interference, and represents the final transformation, and the metal corresponds to lead. ”

"These two links seem to be the same as the previous qi and earth?"

"No, it's not all the same, these steps are all essential, they are connected to each other, and finally transformed into a perfect product." Chu Yuan replied with a relaxed face, as if he was in a good mood.

After all, it was rare for him to meet such a person who was curious about alchemy and had a spirit of exploration.

Moreover, it's still a girl.

Moreover, she is also a long-legged royal sister.

Although Chu Yuan was calm on the surface, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

"In addition to the four elements, there are the so-called sacred three elements, sulfur, mercury, salt. In fact, sulfur and mercury also represent men and women respectively, and mercury also represents the unity of spirit and matter. ”

"The next step is the alchemy, starting with blackening and ending with crystallization."

Krees nodded, but when he saw the symbol that Chu Yuan wrote casually, he asked with some curiosity, "What are those two birds?" ”

"The blackening that represents the beginning of alchemy is often represented by a crow, while the phoenix represents the eventual transformation of base metals into precious metals, and also represents the philosophical consummation of the alchemist."

After a pause, Chu Yuan continued to explain: "In fact, there are many signs that use animals in alchemy, such as the Ouroboros, which symbolizes coherence and eternity, as well as the unity of all things in alchemy. Let's read the book

In addition to the phoenix, the eagle also represents the transformation from base metals to precious metals, and also symbolizes the death of unclean substances in alchemy and the birth of pure substances.

Then there is the serpent staff, which symbolizes the unity of opposing substances, the scepter represents the power of change, and the wings represent the alchemy process that can finally reach a balance.

There are also Solomon Sealing the Philosopher's Stone, etc., these are advanced courses, let's practice the most basic ones today, and I'll show you. ”

Krees nodded, carefully observing Chu Yuan's steps and movements, and carefully recorded them.

"You can try it too." Chu Yuan smiled and moved out of the way, signaling Krees to try boldly.

Krees took a deep breath and tried to remember Chu Yuan's steps, trying to imitate his movements as much as possible.

But after all, it is the first time to do it, and it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes and mistakes.

Chu Yuan watched from the side and smiled with satisfaction.

As a newbie, it was good enough to be able to do this, after all, it was just a familiar process, and he didn't expect Krees to make any products.

However, when Krees carried out the "Yuan Spirit Transformation Hand", both of them were directly stunned.

The Yuan Spirit materials that were supposed to start reacting turned into gold after coming into contact with Krees's Yuan Spirit Transformation Hand.

"Alchemy?" This was Chu Yuan's first reaction.

Despite new developments in alchemy, refining gold is still a sign that the refiner is a full-fledged alchemist, although for low-level alchemists, the value of the materials needed to make gold is even higher than the product itself.

But this is always a milestone.

Even Chu Yuan is in a state of small loss if he wants to refine gold now.

And Krees actually refined it directly, which made Chu Yuan a little unacceptable.

"Are you sure this is your first alchemy?" Chu Yuan looked at her with some suspicion while analyzing the gold that Krees had refined.

"It's the first time. I had never been exposed to alchemy before, and I didn't even have the most basic knowledge. Krees looked at the product in front of him with some blankness, and he didn't understand why.

Thinking back to his contact with Shiwen, Krees said cautiously: "But before that, I heard Shiwen talk about his alchemy plan, is this considered to be in contact with alchemy knowledge?" ”

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and then remembered something, and asked curiously: "You studied alchemy, also because of the lion text?" ”

Kreese nodded a little shyly, this was the first time Chu Yuan had seen her react like this.

"Just friends."

"What about Su Xiao, isn't it a friend?" Chu Yuan didn't mention himself with interest.

"Su Xiao is also a friend, but it's a little different from Shiwen, Su Xiao seems to be just a friend, and Shiwen is probably, more ......" The content behind Krees didn't continue, and Chu Yuan already understood.

"It's okay, you're very talented."

"I heard that the dragon hunting mission of the Lin Royal Academy has been completed, you might as well go to Shiwen, maybe this ability of yours can help him."

"Okay." Krees nodded.

"Thank you anyway, Chu Yuan."

Chu Yuan didn't speak, but sighed silently in his heart and muttered to himself:

"If I'm guilty, the law will judge me, not be tortured like this!"

Shi Wen, who was conducting a forbidden experiment in the laboratory, suddenly sneezed.
