Chapter 3 The Philosopher's Stone Separation and purification

Mu Yuchen often travels during the college holidays, and his first job out of the ivory tower is one due to the nature of the work, in a month of about thirty days, at most only three or five days in the company, and the rest are basically in the field, so although this guy is not too old, he has walked a lot of places. 1β€”β€”

Rongcheng, Chudu, Jinling, Xiangcheng, Yangcheng, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Hohhot, Baotou, Ordos, Xi'an, ......, half of the land of the Celestial Empire have been imprinted by Mu Yuchen, but for the magic capital in front of him, which has lived for several years, he really feels a very unfamiliar feeling of discord.

Mu Yuchen vaguely remembered that when he first came to take this city, he seemed to be very interested in the splendor contained in its prosperous appearance, but in order to find a foothold in life and vision as soon as possible, he transformed himself into the lowest level of the food chain in this steel forest as quickly as possible, and then the wave of survival became the absolute subject of the life movement.

After his fate was changed by that dark golden strange book, Mu Yuchen, who re-examined the city of the Demon Capital, had long lost the interest in exploring and visiting, the scene of the city had been blurred in his eyes, and the scenery and danger in the new world of infinite space had completely become the ultimate goal of all actions at that time.

Mu Yuchen, who was in a complicated mood, drove out of the residential area, and he didn't have the slightest plan about where to play, and he was searching on the Internet through the Green Goblin at the moment. The magic capital at ** o'clock in the morning is full of luxuriant hustle and bustle, and the streets are crowded with cars next to each other, and soon everything is integrated into the surging crowd.

Mu Yuchen, who was stagnant by the boundless traffic at a glance, turned his face to look at Yao Xing who was sitting in the co-pilot with some helplessness, the stubborn problem of road traffic in Huaxia cities has been a long time, and he used to be an office worker squeezing around in the bus, so he has naturally developed a pair of firm patience that can be described as resignation to fate in the long-term training.

However, Mu Yuchen was very worried that the situation in front of him would affect the interest of the smart girl next to him to visit the city, but his worry seemed to be a little too much, at this moment Yaoxing's face was actually full of interest, and he couldn't find the slightest impatience caused by traffic jams, Mu Yuchen noticed that she was using curious eyes to watch a lot of activities of people in the parked traffic around her.

Yaoxing's eyes lingered in the private car and the public workshop on the highway, the eyes of the intelligent girl have excellent observation performance, she is constantly observing the expressions on the faces of the people around her, exploring the state of people at this moment, the expression on the girl's face is constantly changing, thinking, doubting, delighted, contempt, disgusting, ......, all the time as if changing faces.

After understanding that the girl next to him didn't feel bored at all,Mu Yuchen, who has long been accustomed to the density of people in front of him,He felt bored with the seemingly eternal scenery in front of him,He recalled the clean and smooth streets of the school city,The streets full of students' youthful vitality,The two can't help but yawn in comparison。

"Is the master bored!?" Yao Xing stared at Mu Yuchen with a lazy expression with her sparkling black pupils, and the girl's soft cute voice echoed.

"Yes! It's boring! The traffic that had stopped for about a few minutes slowly began to start again and move forward little by little, Mu Yuchen said with both hands on the steering wheel.

"Oh! I think it's a lot of fun! In the past, I used to observe the rhythm of the city from a bird's-eye view through satellites or cameras! Now I'm able to get involved! A completely different experience! In particular, you can observe the activities of the people around you up close! It's very, very interesting! ”…,

"Interesting, isn't it? Why can't I feel it at all!? Mu Yuchen suddenly remembered that he didn't know that Yao Xing, as an intelligent life form, would not like to go to various famous scenic spots to take pictures like ordinary human travel, and then take them home as evidence of play, so that human travel strategies are worthless, so he felt that he should change his way today.

"Master, you must be too used to everything in front of you! So for you, the faces of all the people around you are numb and nothing new! But that's not the case! Maybe masks are the norm! But the amount of camouflage is regulated by the unconscious reaction of human beings! In the familiar shuttle bus in the early morning, in the unfamiliar crowd, people will always be inadvertently real! ”

"Just tell me that you like a lot of people!"

"Where! Do what! Unimportant! The important thing is! You're surrounded by people! Yao Xing, who felt that he was also a little unclear, expressed this to Mu Yuchen after thinking for a while.

"Then next! Where are we going!? ”

"Hasn't the owner already checked the strategy on the Internet!? Let's just follow that! ”

Shuttling through the streets of the magic capital along the route recommended on the Internet, Yao Xing, whose knowledge is far from being described by Erudite and Qiangji, completely incarnated as a professional tour guide in the next journey, and introduced to Mu Yuchen the streets and buildings that contain historical stories and legends in the places where the two of them walked, and someone actually felt like returning to the classroom all day.

"The purpose of today's outing! Didn't I accompany you!? Walking on the Bund where the light shines at dusk, Mu Yuchen recalled the past nine hours, and said with a strange look on the girl he was holding with a bright look.

"I said it a short time ago! It's the people around you who are there that counts! Yao Xing jumped up and down like a child, and the joyful breath flowed out of the bright rhythm. It's getting dark! It's time for us to go! Go straight to the desalination plant! The equipment required for the purification plan has been completed! Now it's time for you to get started! ”

"You're such a dedicated employee! Kindness! I should give you some reward! ”

"Ah!!!h

Mu Yuchen's surprise attack made Yao Xing scream, and he wrapped his arms around the girl's light waist, and then she picked her up from the ground. Under the sunset, two overlapping figures quietly overlap in the dusk afterglow, and an inexplicable warm feeling lingers around, and this day seems to have ushered in such a perfect ending.

…………

Mu Yuchen, who drove for several hours to the desalination plant and went underground through the elevator of the core building, once again came to the underground space illuminated by incandescent lamps and seemed to be in a state of daylight forever. Here Mu Yuchen and Yao Xing are separated from each other, the former will go directly to the work area to work, while the latter will carry his core to the main control room.

Mu Yuchen, who came out of the elevator and changed to an electric vehicle, was guided by the intelligent AI through the passage and the door, and after driving for a full quarter of an hour, he entered the separately separated room in the work area.

Only then did they come to a huge area of at least 5,000 cubic meters in the test area, a cylindrical blast furnace was standing in the middle of the space, and nine figures in pitch-black uniforms were waiting quietly.

The nine pitch-black figures standing in the huge room were the ones who had refined 3,333 clones into the Philosopher's Stone into their bodies through refining arrays in the Demon Forbidden World, and those who were the core of the Sanctuary Enchantment. In fact, there should have been ten people who appeared here, but in the refining process of the Demon Forbidden World Realm, the clone that had fused with the Jenova cell had a slight deviation, and Mu Yuchen did not release it for the sake of Mu Yuchen. …,

The volume of the space that Mu Yuchen visually measured was about 5,000 cubic meters, and the behemoth in the center of the space with a height of 30 meters and a diameter of 10 meters directly occupied about four-tenths of the space environment. This is a test furnace for Mu Yuchen and Yao Xing according to the structure of the Shenluo Demon Furnace, which has undergone functional deletion and structural adjustment, and it is the test core of the so-called 'purification' plan.

The purpose of the Magic Furnace is to refine the life energy of the planet, and to purify the pure energy that can be used directly in the state of removing impurities such as memory fragments. And the improved experimental smelting in front of him, while retaining the maximum separation and purification functions of the Demon Furnace, has made some corrections to the difference in the raw materials to be refined, and it is not the Demon Sage that will be sent into it for refinement, but the largest miracle sage stone in the steel refining world.

In Mu Yuchen's eyes, between the stream of life, which is the raw material of the magic ring, and the Sage Stone made by human life, spirit and soul, except for the absorption and assimilation of the planet's energy field in the slow formation process of the life stream, the Sage Stone is polluted by negative spirits due to the cruelty of the manufacturing process, in fact, both are essentially the products of the human spirit and soul.

The fact that the two sides were also able to ignore the principle of equivalent exchange and directly apply it in alchemy was undoubtedly the biggest proof of Mu Yuchen's understanding. And the test that was now about to be conducted in this special furnace would be the final argument for this inference, and Mu Yuchen himself was undoubtedly convinced of it.

The pure bright red light full of demonic charm, as the light penetrated the one in Mu Yuchen's hand, the cylindrical canned body filled with liquid, fifty centimeters in diameter and about one meter high, which had just been taken out of the space page, and then instantly infected half of the huge underground space, and the strange rhythm of life swayed and swayed with the waves of the bright red liquid in the original jar.

All the life, spirit, and soul possessed by the three thousand three hundred and thirty-three non-concierge inhabitants of the Demon Forbidden World, plus the number of armed mercenaries no less than the former, and more than six thousand five hundred young men and women with an average age between twenty and thirty-five years old, were finally transformed into the contents of the jar.

The most precious thing in the world is life, and the equipment of a soldier of the United States in the origin world is worth more than one million United States coins on the market. The lowest thing in the world is life, and in Africa, which is full of all kinds of chaotic weapons, death is staged every moment, and a bullet of a few United States coins can buy a human life.

Mu Yuchen stared indifferently at the glass jar in his hand, the rippling glass jar with bright red tones, the Sage's Stone between liquid and solid, looked very similar to jelly at the moment, his calm face was covered with a dazzling flush, but a faint pity and compassion quietly spit out from Mu Yuchen's body.

The bright red fluorescence that reflected the small half of the test furnace suddenly fluctuated as if it had been distorted, and Mu Yuchen casually threw the priceless jar in his hand into the hands of a suitable target, and even destroyed a huge city in an instant, and threw it at the core clone standing under the test blast furnace.

Dragged the clone of the bright red canned body with telekinetic power, ran to the bottom of the furnace to prepare to add the raw materials, and the other eight people also began the final inspection work. Mu Yuchen, who was casually on the empty ground, made a seat, took out the secret book of the Yijin Sutra woven with gold wire, and began to read it like a passing time, and the preparation was finally ready after about an hour.

Mu Yuchen, who put away the book in his hand, walked towards the furnace, and the brain domain network was linking him to the clone, reaching a state of complete synchronization and harmony of his mind. The silver-white lines are centered on the furnace of the test, outlining one by one in the vast space, rings, triangles, quadrilaterals and other structures, and the mysterious runes are filled into the combined figures, and a refining array is slowly taking shape. …,

The original refining array formed by the source was the power source, which would be controlled by nine core clones, completely manipulating the subtleties of the operation of the test furnace. Mu Yuchen, on the other hand, walked directly to the bottom of the test furnace, and then the most basic pentagram was formed into a formation, which was spirally distributed along the cylinder of the furnace, and then his hands were attached to the refining array in front of him.

As we all know, there are risks involved in any test, and apart from the rare possibility of walking shit luck, the probability of one-time success is almost non-existent. Therefore, what Mu Yuchen's body needs to do is to use the most basic understanding of alchemy, as well as the complex refining skills of alchemy, to monitor the state of the entire test furnace, and master the output adjustment of the cloning body to the power of the furnace.

Mu Yuchen, who had completed the preparation, silently closed his eyes, and then divided and refined into an array at an equal distance, and the nine core clones of the outermost annular circular structure pressed their hands into the silver-white ring in the most ancient prayer-style refining action, and the brilliant blue streamer jumped up under the alchemist's hand, and then the entire circular ring lit up.

The energy channeled from the hands of the nine core clones, after circulating completely synchronously in the outer ring structure, poured into it like a stream of water, refining the spherical shape enveloping the entire furnace, and in an instant, the blue light that shone like fireflies gradually gathered into a huge blue sun, and the bright incandescent lights on the four walls of the laboratory space, the brilliance at this moment was immediately forced to compress.

Mu Yuchen, who started refining at the same time as the nine core clones, through the indiscriminate transmission of spirit and energy through the dragon veins, monitored all the reactions in the furnace in every detail with the most basic material comprehension ability in alchemy, and at the same time, he also simulated the establishment of an identical furnace on the relics planet at the core of his spiritual world.

Mu Yuchen and Yao Xing's improvement of the Shenluo Demon Furnace mainly eliminated the extraction part of planetary life, and optimized the design of the separation and purification structure in the structure. The Philosopher's Stone, which is between liquid and solid, vibrates as if boiling under the effect of the special energy position released by the Demon Furnace, and its original structure is crumbling little by little.

The separation of the stream of life itself by the HRE is the separation of the energy that is closely connected to the spirit and soul into simple spiritual energy that can be used directly, as well as the fragments of memory and the residue of the soul in the spirit. The former will be used as fuel for various magic machines, while the latter will be mostly abandoned and a small part will be clinged to magic stones.

Although most of the texture of the Philosopher's Stone is similar to that of the Life Stream, because its manufacturing process is the stripping of life, rather than the fusion of the soul and the spirit after the death of the life like the Life Stream, the inevitable residue enters a small part of the life force, so the test furnace must be modified to finally succeed.

The blue glow that shone in the laboratory dissipated in an instant due to the cessation of the alchemy input energy, and at the same time, the test furnace, which had lost power, also stopped. Mu Yuchen closed his eyes tightly and began to sort out the test data, while the nine core clones pulled out two of them and walked to the exit of the final product of the test furnace, taking out the final product obtained from the first refining.

Mu Yuchen looked at the transparent canned body made by the two gods and tricks floating in front of him, located in the canned body on the left side of his body, and the purified product was a liquid product similar to that of Moxuan, but due to the existence of life force impurities, the faint red lines like hair were suspended in the drop of Qingbi liquid in the tank.

As for the memory fragments and soul residues that existed in the jar on the right, it seemed as if nothing existed at a glance, but under the glazed color reflected by Mu Yuchen's pupils, it was exactly the same as the form described in the Shinra Demon Xuan data, and the kind of magical-like crystals that were as fine as dust immediately appeared in the canned body in his vision.

"Take advantage of the different energy levels between soul and spirit! The two will be completely integrated in the intensifying state! Wake up and separate through structural instability! Then purify the separated spiritual energy for the second time! Seemingly! The structure of the entire magic furnace! It takes a complete correction to get there! What I hope to achieve! I don't want Moxuan! ”

The three-dimensional five-pointed star refining array surrounded, and the two tanks that floated in front of Mu Yuchen's eyes and looked similar to ordinary water cups, Mu Yuchen, who was silently understanding the content with his eyes, thought silently in his heart.
