Chapter 21: Retreat and Alchemy
Harvey didn't let them wait long, and brought back good news after two weeks, just like Alan speculated, the secret was indeed in the exercises recorded in the ancient books, although they didn't know what the specific reason was, but the result was that Harvey had only practiced for two weeks, and he had already absorbed more than half of the life spring water he had taken, and his speed had increased several times at once.

Now that the results were clear, Alan immediately distributed the mantras of the exercises he had copied from the ancient books to several other people, even Elvis, Miranda, and Steven had a copy, although the three of them did not have the talent to cultivate Dou Qi, but practicing the exercise still helped to increase the speed of the Fountain of Life and stimulate their potential in magic.
Having mastered the secret of absorbing the water of the fountain of life, Eren felt that he had unloaded the biggest stone in his heart and could make his own preparations in a down-to-earth manner. He first instructed Steven to buy large magic crystals of various departments with heavy money, not only limited to the ancient city state of Aocheng, he even asked Kevin's relationship to go to the south to buy, after all, there are not many large magic crystals on the continent, and Alan must have enough magic equipment to assist in the Kulen Mountains this time, and then Alan asked the servants to move all the alchemy materials he brought from the elven forest to his alchemy room, and started a new round of retreat, and this retreat was much longer than the previous time, sometimes he did not leave the alchemy room for half a step for a week, and even his meals were reduced to a few days a mealγ
Occasionally, there would be explosions in the practice room, and on several occasions, a hole in the roof of the warehouse was blown open and flames erupted. This made Steven very worried, but Alan had an order, no one could enter when he was in retreat, Steven knew that Alan did this on the one hand because the alchemy requirements were extremely high this time, and Alan must concentrate on the alchemy process and not be disturbed by others, otherwise it would be easy to fail, and even cause the magic to get out of control, and on the other hand, it was for everyone's safety, so he could only do it outside and couldn't help.
Elvis and several people were also busy digesting the life spring water and speeding up their cultivation, and they didn't bother Allen, although he and the little girl didn't have the talent to practice martial arts, but it didn't affect them to use this mental method to absorb the life spring, but the absorption speed was not as fast as the other people.
Sergei and Fresnel also stayed in their own rooms and cultivated quietly, half a year may not be a short time for a human, but it is not a long time for an elf, and the elves are indifferent by nature, this kind of peaceful life is obviously more suitable for them than the night and night songs.
Kevin has been busy with the pharmacy factory recently, from personnel recruitment, to pharmacy refining, to pharmacy sales, he is very busy, and he doesn't have time to come to find Alan, and occasionally comes to Steven to discuss some business matters.
Everyone was busy with their own business, and the whole courtyard was quiet during this time, and even Roy Quake, who had been in charge of keeping the courtyard safe, was taken off to rest. In the blink of an eye, summer turned to autumn, after a night of cold autumn rain, the next morning, the wide leaves of the plane trees planted around the courtyard fell one after another, and while the servants were busy cleaning up the fallen leaves in the courtyard, Alan finally ended his round of alchemy, and walked out of the alchemy room with a tired look.
"Brother-in-law, you're finally out. I've arranged for someone to prepare hot water for you, you take a shower and relax, and I'll have someone prepare food and wine right away. β
Looking at the look of excitement on Allen's haggard face, Steven knew that Allen's round of alchemy was successful, and he was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare hot water and clean clothes.
He hadn't been out for two weeks, and Alan did need to be cleaned, but he didn't come out for a long time after he went into the bathroom, and finally Steven went in to find that Alan had fallen asleep against the tub. Steven couldn't bear to wake him up, so he had to sit next to him and keep heating the water in the tub so that the water inside would not cool down.
Alan slept for a full day, and didn't wake up until night. took a bath, After changing his clothes, Alan felt refreshed, and when it was time for dinner, after a few glasses of Isha's rum, his mental state recovered, and he began to ask Elvis about the progress of their respective cultivations, only to learn that Miranda's fire meditation technique had broken through to the intermediate magician realm a week ago, and her qi meditation technique had just entered the intermediate magician realm, which allowed her to create a record of the youngest intermediate magician of the qi and fire systems on the continent, and Alan was not even a junior magician at her ageγ The little girl's achievements made the master Bert Elvis feel pressure, he always thought that he was a magic genius, not as good as Allen, and now he was not even as good as a little girl seven or eight years younger than himself, his heart was a little behind.
"When you are old, you will no longer be useful, and it will be the world of young people in the future!"
Elvis poured a glass of wine into his mouth, shook his head, and made a look of seeing through the vicissitudes of the world, but actually complained, although his own meditation technique was also progressing rapidly, and the earth meditation technique was close to breaking through the realm of high-level magicians, and he was already far ahead among magicians of the same age, but he still felt lost.
"If you want to cultivate as fast as Miranda, I have the means. β
Allen, of course, understood that Elvis was moaning innocently.
"What's the solution?"
Elvis listened to Allen's words and really came to his senses.
"It's simple, cover your eyes with ink tree sap as well, so you can focus on meditation without distractions. β
"No, no, no, I think it's very good now, and magic is not just a meditation technique to compare the high, the understanding and innovation of magic is the king, I have carefully studied your magic fluctuation theory for a while, I have some experience, we have time to communicate more." β
The reason why the little girl's meditation technique has improved by leaps and bounds is not only due to the help of the spring of life, but also because her eyes are unable to see, so that she can focus more on the world of meditation, and the effect of such meditation cultivation will be better. Therefore, as soon as he heard Allen's words, Elvis immediately stopped complaining, and enthusiastically proposed to study the science of magical waves.
Alan also learned about Stanny and Harvey's cultivation progress, and only after knowing that everything was going well for them did he put his mind at ease. After dinner, he and Elvis exchanged some knowledge of magic theory, listened to some of the little girl's cultivation experience, and gave some advice on some questions.
The next morning, as soon as Alan finished breakfast, Steven brought a guest, accompanied by Bloom, who was very unfamiliar with this guest Alan, and after introduction, he learned that the tall, rugged-looking middle-aged man in front of him was actually the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment - Nelson.
