"Hello! Excuse me. At the front desk of the first branch of the National Central Library in Central City, Liu Hong knocked on the table a few times and woke up the staff who were intoxicated by the book: "I want to know where the books of other categories are." ”

"I'm sorry!" The staff at the front desk got up a little flustered and apologized, then pointed to the left and said, "You go in this direction, turn left when you see the stairs, and the books over there are all classified in other categories!" ”

"Thank you!" Liu Hong bowed his head slightly, then carried the small suitcase in his hand and slowly walked towards the place the staff said.

"Wait a minute, can you show me your identification?" Seeing that Liu Hong was leaving, the staff immediately leaned out of the front desk and asked hurriedly.

A pamphlet fell on the staff's hand. When the staff opened it, they saw Liu Hong's portrait and some of his information. And the hometown is Lisaipur!

Placing the suitcase on the table, Liu Hong smiled at a beautiful girl sitting opposite him reading a book, and then walked to the bookshelf to find the books he needed.

"Today's Menu of a Thousand Kinds", Tim Marco's information about the human body when he escaped from Central City!

"Found it!" Liu Hong's finger stopped on a book, pulled it out, brushed off the dust scattered on it because no one was watching, and opened it to see:

1 tablespoon granulated sugar, add a small amount of water

"If it weren't for the fact that this is the refining material of the Philosopher's Stone, I would really think it is a cooking book!" Liu Hong finished reading the "Today's Menu Thousands" in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Tim Marco is really talented!" ”

"Mr. Liu, this is your identification!" The staff who had asked Liu Hong for his identity certificate came to Liu Hong with Liu Hong's identity certificate at this time.

"Thank you, girl." Liu Hong took the identification certificate handed over by the staff, and then raised the "Today's Menu of a Thousand Kinds" in his hand and asked, "Can I borrow these books?" ”

"Mr. Liu doesn't need to be so polite, just call me Xie Sika." Xie Skar first explained his name, and then said with a look of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, but books here are generally not allowed to be borrowed!" So"

"That's it!" Liu Hong touched his chin, and then asked tentatively, "Can you transcribe it?" ”

"This should work, right?" Xie Skar pushed his glasses and tilted his head a little confused.

Liu Hong wanted to say that it was shameful to be cute, but in the end he didn't say it: "Then don't you mind if I copy it here?" ”

"Yes!" After reading the title of the book, Sheska reminded: "If you want to learn how to cook, there are other options, and there are many dishes in this manuscript that taste unacceptable, especially the 53rd in Book 1 and 323 in Book 3. ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Liu Hong said with a smile: "It's good to learn from it, isn't it?" Have you read the book, though? ”

"Yes!" Xie Skar nodded proudly: "And the content is memorized!" ”

"What a memory!" Liu Hong applauded twice and exclaimed. But with such a good memory, it's also called Sheska, it can't be the Sheska who wrote "Today's Menu Thousands" for Edwards, right?

"Then I won't bother you," Seska said with a big smile as she walked towards the front desk.

Putting "Today's Menu of a Thousand Kinds" back to its original position, Liu Hong went to the previous seat to retrieve the suitcase, and then went outside to buy some paper and pencils. The days that followed were transcribed day and night.

Three days later, Liu Hong rubbed his slightly sour eyes, looked at the thick hand-copied scroll that had been copied in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Doctor Marco, you're not too tired." ”

"Who is Dr. Marco?" Xie Sika held a few books and put them in front of Liu Hong: "This is the "Ancient Codex of Frangel" and "About the Stone of the Philosopher" that you want, as well as some alchemy books that you can find. Are you an alchemist? ”

"Yes, I'm a wandering alchemist." Liu Hong responded to Xie Ska's question with a smile, of course, who is Marco will not mention it. He felt that this Xie Skar should be the Xie Ska who would give Edward "Today's Menu Thousand Kinds" in the future.

"Then I have other things, so I won't bother you!" Seska looked left and right, and found that there was nothing wrong without him, so he prepared to go to the front desk, where there were still unfinished books.

"Don't know how to read, it will cause you unnecessary trouble." With a wave of his hand, Liu Hong and Xie Sika had a joke.

"I'll pay attention!" Xie Skar replied with a serious face, as for whether she would really pay attention, it would depend on her resistance to temptation.

Liu Hong looked at the sky, put the "Thousand Kinds of Today's Menu" that had been copied into the box prepared in advance, and then copied the books that Xie Sika had brought over, and only then did he say goodbye to Xie Sika and return to the hotel he rented until the closing time.

"As always, boss, bring an extra lunch to my room!" asked for lunch with the boss who had been dozing off, and Liu Hong went to his room to check his harvest.

"Looks like I don't have enough knowledge!" Even if he had copied alchemy books and some alchemy theories that he had memorized to obtain alchemy knowledge and reality from Edward, Liu Hong couldn't decipher the alchemy materials of the Philosopher's Stone!

Hastily solved the stomach and hygiene problems, Liu Hong sat on the bed and took a deep breath, and then ran "Northern Shengong".

I have to say that although Edward's qualifications are good, it is just over a year that he has the internal strength that only the people of the "Dragon Babu" world can only cultivate in five years, but Liu Hong's internal strength has increased even faster!

Originally, Liu Hong had twenty years of pure internal force, but now, Liu Hong has more than thirty years of internal force! What's more, it's all self-refined, and it can be said that there is no problem at all in terms of handling! Like an arm wave.

But

"Shuttle, why do I feel the Sage's Stone every time I cultivate my internal strength!" Since he got the Philosopher's Stone, Liu Hong now senses the location of the Philosopher's Stone every night when he cultivates.

That kind of induction was really very unpleasant to Liu Hong, and it made Liu Hong's cultivation efficiency much lower recently.

"When you cultivate internal force, the internal force will communicate with the energy of this world, and the Philosopher's Stone is a collection of vitality and soul, which is a kind of energy in itself, so when you cultivate internal force, you will sense the Philosopher's Stone." The flat voice of the time shuttle sounded from the bottom of my heart.

"Is that so?" Liu Hong frowned and looked at the Sage Stone that was deliberately placed a little farther away, then closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.

The next day, Liu Hong went to the first branch of the National Library as usual, but this time he would not copy any books, but asked Xie Sika where the alchemy books were located, and he kept soaking there, reading them book by book. Since the existing knowledge is not enough, then go and learn the unknown knowledge!

Fifteen days later, Liu Hong raised his head from the sea of books again, and this time the corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of excited smile: "I see! That's how it was made! ”

But this excited smile retracted in the next moment: "I hope to get enough Philosopher's Stone, I don't want to start refining it myself!" ”

Solemnly said goodbye to Xie Sika, and Liu Hong wandered around Central City alone with a suitcase.

Speaking of which, after coming to Central City, Liu Hong has been moving around the first branch of the National Library and the hotel, and has never visited at all. And it's still early today, and the refining of the Sage's Stone has been cracked, so I naturally have the heart to take a stroll.

Speaking of which, Liu Hong has visited ancient Chinese markets and modern commercial streets, but he has never been in such a foreign city! After all, Lisaipur is too small, and it is mainly based on aquaculture, so there are still too few places to visit, and it is comparable to a city like Central City?

Two hours later, Liu Hong, who already felt that he had had enough shopping, found an open-air café on the side of the road, ordered a cup of coffee, and then found a place where no one was around.

However, Liu Hong didn't sit for long, and he suddenly frowned, and he felt a philosopher's stone approaching him! But the aura revealed by this philosopher's stone is different from the philosopher's stone in his hand, it seems to be more pure!

When I looked back, I saw a charming woman with long black hair wearing a low-cut black dress slowly approaching from a distance, especially on her chest, with a black devouring snake crest.

"Rust?" Liu Hong silently read out the name of an artificial person in his heart.

Rust walked to the café and looked left and right, and found that there was only a vacant seat next to Liu Hong, so he walked to Liu Hong's side, pressed one hand on the table, lowered his head and said in a magnetic voice, "Can I sit here?" ”

"Of course!" Liu Hong stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite side: "Please take a seat." ”

Rust sat down and ordered a cup of pure coffee, then stirred the coffee to himself. And if Rust doesn't speak, Liu Hong doesn't feel the need to talk to him.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Liu Hong was about to get up and leave, but Rust suddenly spoke up: "This gentleman, you don't look like an Ameslis." ”

"What doesn't it look like?" Liu Hong was wearing a suit at this time, no different from ordinary Ameslis.

"Habit." Rast narrowed his slender eyes and said in a sensual and magnetic voice, "Some of your habits I've never seen in the Ameslis. ”

"That's right." The corners of Liu Hong's mouth curled: "Amesslis is a multi-ethnic country!" It's normal to have habits that you don't know about, no! ”

"That's just as well!" Rust suddenly laughed: "My name is Rust, am I lucky enough to know you?" Handsome sir. ”

"Of course!" Liu Hong sat upright: "Nice to meet you, Ms. Rust!" You can call me Liu Hong. ”
