Chapter 194: Mysterious Old Man
"Hey, boy, what level are you at now?" suddenly a strange voice came from the wall.
"That old man is here again, I don't want to see him, it's up to you. Razor muttered inside Aaron's body, and then went into a state of playing dead.
"Hey, don't you say die, okay?" Aaron grumbled loudly, but Razor didn't respond.
Aaron sighed and looked in the direction in which he spoke. An unbelievable sight was taking place on the wallβan old man with unkempt hair and a body as thin as a skeleton, but with sparkling eyes, slowly emerging from the wall.
Aaron clearly remembers the surprise he was at the first time he saw the old man drilling through the wall, and after he had been stagnant for half a minute, he ran to the side of the wall, and banged on the wall vigorously, and found that there was nothing unusual about the wall, so he was convinced that the old man had really come from the other side of the wall.
When the old man saw Aaron, he froze instantly, as if he had seen something that should not have appeared. Afterwards, the old man told Aaron that this room had been unoccupied for a long time, so he would be surprised to see him.
Anyway, Aaron and the old man knew each other, but Aaron did love and hate the old man. This old man is a seventh-order alchemist, which can be described as overjoyed for Aaron, who is also an alchemist, and some other questions about alchemy have also been answered, but the price paid for this is also extremely painful, and Aaron has to eat the medicine refined by the old man.
Let Aaron eat the medicine of unknown history, this is also the reason why Razor hates the old man, if he dies, won't his revenge be in vain?
Luckily, Aaron hasn't had any problems so far.
"The current level is no different before, and it is still almost impossible to break through to the third order. Aaron said distressedly.
"This thing still needs a little bit of opportunity. If the time is not right, it will be useless. I've been in the seventh-order stage for ten years, but what's the use, isn't it still the seventh-order yet? Is it urgent to use? I said you kid, you're just too greedy, you just studied for a few months and thought about the third-order, although you have a little talent, but the foundation is a mess. If you hadn't met me, you would have reached the fourth level at most, and it would have been impossible to go up. However, now that you have met me, with the medicine I have carefully refined for you, it is only a matter of time before you break through to the third order, or even the fourth order. The old man talked eloquently.
"As long as I don't get poisoned by your weird stuff. Aaron sounded those black rumbling pills, and couldn't help but complain in his heart, that strange taste, Aaron really didn't want to think about it again.
"What about the alchemy related to the 'elements' that I gave you?" the old man asked, rubbing his long beard.
The "elements" in alchemy refer to the four elements of fire, wind, water, and earth. In the words of the old man, these four elements are mixed with each other to form other substances in the world. And for this, Aaron, who is still underqualified, is not capable of doing this. However, this does not in any way detract from their importance. The old man once said that these four elements are the basis of alchemy and must be learned.
At first, Aaron didn't understand what alchemy had to do with the elements. For example, fire, what kind of substance can be transformed into it?
When Aaron asked this question, the old man burst out laughing. Aaron was puzzled, and later the old man told him that many people don't think about these things when studying alchemy, but that the use of "elements" does require a substance. This substance is called the first primordial substance, and by adding the four properties of "wet, dry, hot, and cold", you can synthesize elements, such as hot and dry, and add the first primordial substance, you can synthesize the fire element.
Aaron then asked the old man what the first essence was. The old man scratched his head and thought for a long time before telling Aaron that he didn't know what the first essence was, but the manuscript of Ivan the Great mentioned that the first essence was the soul of God.
The soul of God?
Aaron had been struggling with the First Essence for a long time, but later found that it did not affect his synthesis of the "elements", so he gave up.
"Well, I have basically mastered them, but I don't have enough control over them, and now I can only control the direction, but I can't control the strength and weakness. Aaron replied.
"Well, that's really going to have to be trained a little more. Oh, by the way, I've got something good for you. As he spoke, the old man took out a green pill from his bosom. The pill is not big, only the size of a fingernail.
"What is this, why does it look so disgusting?" asked Aaron, puzzled.
"Aren't you distressed that you can't break through the third order?" the old man asked.
Aaron nodded honestly.
"That's right, this pill is an upgrade elixir that can quickly help you level up. The old man's eyes narrowed, but no matter how he looked at it, Aaron felt that the old man's smile was particularly obscene, and his body shivered.
"Upgrade pills again?" Aaron frowned, his hands behind his back.
"Kid, take it, it's not the first day we've known each other, don't be polite to me. As he spoke, the old man took Aaron's hand and put the pill into Aaron's palm.
Looking at the pill in his hand, Aaron had the heart to die, and when he looked at the old man, he looked like he had succeeded in his plan.
Eventually, under the watchful eye of the old man, Aaron pinched his nose and swallowed the pill.
"How's it going?" the old man looked at Aaron with wide eyes.
"Choked. Aaron twisted his throat, "Also, it tastes weird, like a shell." β
"Shell Lang? There is indeed a little bit of shell Lang in it, but it shouldn't have a taste? Is it a failure again?" Oops...... the old man patted his forehead, "There is indeed this possibility, after reading it, I still have to continue to modify the refining array." β
"Ah, old man, don't you bring this?" Aaron shouted hysterically.
There's a shell in the pill, isn't that nothing like eating that?
Aaron immediately ran to the bathroom, coughing desperately, and even put his fingers in his mouth, but no matter how he tried to get it, the green pill didn't come out again.
Eventually, Aaron sat down on the ground weakly, as if he had drained his strength.
"How is it? How do you feel now?" the old man ran to Aaron's side and crouched down.
Aaron looked at the old man with a murderous look: "Now I feel like I'm going to die." β
"The feeling of dying? It stands to reason that you should feel this way, but it shouldn't be like you. The old man touched his beard, looking confused.
Aaron was just about to refute the old man, when he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his heart, as if something had pierced it, and a heart-piercing pain spread all over his body, and then, Aaron lost consciousness. (To be continued.) )
