A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 1341 - 1327: Alchemy
Baiyu was quite confused by the butterfly’s words.
Let’s not talk about this place first. As a super niche profession, the alchemist hasn’t appeared in the eyes of the world for many years. Whether on the Bone Ship or on the Sacred Central Continent, alchemists basically do not appear.
Many people feel that the alchemists may have already gone extinct, and their legacy has long since disappeared completely.
However.
Here, Baiyu hears the word ’alchemist’ again from the butterfly’s mouth.
"You don’t know anything at all?"
The butterfly asked.
Baiyu shook his head, indicating that he really knew nothing.
"The Bone Ship is a massive alchemical object, created by a great alchemist. I too was created by his hand.
He established the rules here and gave me life.
But during the last attempt at life refining, he died."
Isn’t this obvious?
Baiyu silently complained in his heart, then continued to ask, "What are we supposed to do now?"
The butterfly explained, "Naturally, we need to get the Bone Ship moving again. Did you see that giant fish? That’s the power source of the Bone Ship. It was the final product of the Creator’s last life refining."
"Was he trying to refine a Divine Spirit?"
"Yes, this is one of the ways an alchemist can break through to become a Divine Spirit, but he failed and only left this half-finished product, which also fell into slumber. Now it has been awakened by you, and according to the rules of the Bone Ship, you are the new inheritor."
The butterfly made a gesture with her hand.
Rows of books floated in the air, exquisitely beautiful.
Baiyu took a look.
"Self-Cultivation of the Alchemist," "On How to Refine Mundane Objects," "Life-Giving Technique"...
It seemed to be a set of alchemist legacy.
Indeed.
Inside this Bone Ship, there really was a legacy, but it was the legacy of alchemists.
"Damn it, is it okay to just take out such a valuable legacy like this?"
Baiyu powerlessly complained, "Shouldn’t there be many trials, where I go through several life-and-death experiences, suddenly realize and eventually become a great alchemist?"
The butterfly shook her head, wiggling her fingers, "No, no, no, there’s no need for that at all. That’s just meaningless formalism. At that time, the alchemist lacked the energy to design those trials. So, he set the rule that whoever could first enter here would receive the legacy."
Alright then.
Dealing with straightforward people is refreshing.
"So now, how do I get this giant ship moving? It’s been stagnant for a long time, hasn’t it? The people inside must not want to stay here."
Baiyu asked.
By now, the butterfly had pulled out no less than a hundred books.
She pointed to the towering stack of books beside her and said, "It’s simple, read all these books, and you can control the Bone Ship.
By ’read,’ I don’t mean just skimming through them.
But to truly understand, grasp the genuine meaning, and thoroughly comprehend alchemy and the life refining technique."
Baiyu took a look at the side.
The huge pile of books stacked into a mountainous heap, and the butterfly continued to pull out more, some of which were as thick as dozens of dictionaries put together.
Even with his scholar’s space,
he still felt intimidated.
"If I may ask, how long does it take to read these books?" Baiyu asked solemnly.
The butterfly counted on her fingers, "A year or two? I’m not really sure, who knows, no one has kept track.
After all, everyone’s talent and perception differ.
The time required naturally varies, but the only way to leave here is to learn these alchemy knowledge, otherwise, you simply can’t control the Bone Ship.
How to put it.
These books, this legacy of alchemy, are truly the key.
Otherwise.
We still can’t get out."
The butterfly’s words made Baiyu feel a deep sense of frustration, isn’t this still about learning alchemy?
Pah.
At this moment.
The butterfly snapped her fingers, and behind the throne in the grand hall, two large doors opened automatically, revealing a brand-new control room. Everything inside, from the floors to the ceiling, was made of silvery white metal, appearing extremely futuristic.
The sudden change in style.
Almost made Baiyu unable to adapt.
The butterfly pointed to the control panel inside and said, "Without knowing alchemy, you can’t activate these things. Becoming an alchemist is the prerequisite."
Baiyu tried.
It really was like that, no matter which button he pressed, nothing moved; even if he used Blood Qi and Spirituality, and the power of Golden Blood, his Finger Power could directly crush a blue whale, but these buttons still didn’t have any reaction.
You could say they were perfectly fitted to the control panel.
Baiyu would even think these buttons were painted on.
Fortunately, the quality of this control panel was superb, without any damage, otherwise, regular materials would have been instantly crushed into scraps by Baiyu.
"Alright, seems there really aren’t any other choices."
Baiyu sighed deeply.
Then sat down and pulled over the pile of books, opening them on his lap, flipping through pages.
The butterfly, as an alchemical life.
Naturally had infinite lifespan, thus she didn’t feel bored at all, standing beside like a stone statue, exhibiting remarkable stamina.
Since the upgrade of the scholar’s space.
Baiyu’s reading speed significantly increased; of course, part of this was due to his enhanced strength, increased spirituality, and spiritual power. But, the books on alchemy couldn’t be skimmed through easily.
Because the books contained many special symbols, texts, arrays.
They needed to be slowly understood.
In other words, reading each book consumed his energy greatly, in a single day he couldn’t read many.
However.
As he delved into learning, gradually his interest in alchemy grew intensely.
Once he entered a focused learning state.
It became very hard to distract.
Besides, with Baiyu’s current physical condition, he only needed to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to continuously replenish the Blood Qi within his body, without needing other food.
Thus Baiyu, like an old monk in meditation,
sitting in place.
Flipping through the books on alchemy one by one.
"The power of alchemy also comes from the resonance between Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the body, along with the use of arrays to stimulate this power, causing a fundamental change.
Turning soil into steel.
Transforming seawater into gold.
Even turning a lifeless stone into a living entity. For example, the butterfly, an alchemy puppet, obviously a masterpiece of alchemists."
In Baiyu’s heart, the horror of alchemy rose to another level.
If this alchemy is cultivated to a profound degree,
wouldn’t it be almost like creating life as a Divine Spirit?
