Chapter 892: Chapter 391: Eye of Time (Expert) 3

"We need to find the point of harmonic resonance between the two, and then establish a stable fusion node there."

Under his manipulation, the two items were suspended in the center of the workbench, surrounded by a complex energy field.

The three-dimensional projection revealed their internal structure:

The Eyes of True Wisdom displayed a beautiful crystal lattice structure, with over a dozen energy circuits interwoven like blood vessels;

While the Eyes of Time’s structure was more mysterious, with its core as a constantly pulsating time node, surrounded by twisted spatial membranes.

"Do you see these energy convergence points?"

Vinard pointed mechanically to several key positions in the projection:

"These are our breakthroughs.

By redesigning the rune structure of these convergence points, we can achieve a seamless fusion of the two different energy systems."

"However..."

He turned to Ron, his silver eyes shimmering with anticipation:

"This advanced fusion requires deep participation from the user.

You must infuse your mental imprint during the process and assist me in designing new rune circuits."

When Ron extended his spiritual power towards the workbench, a wonderful thing happened.

The "Creator’s Blessing" trait began to take effect, enabling him to intuitively "see" the deepest energy operation mechanisms inside the two items.

The previously abstract rune logic became as clear as simple mechanical structures in his eyes.

Not only that, the "Extraordinary Creativity" trait accelerated his thinking process at an unprecedented speed.

Countless fusion schemes quickly formed, compared, and optimized in his mind.

"Wait... this angle is interesting."

When Ron suggested the first modification, Vinard’s silver eyes immediately showed surprise:

"Are you suggesting adding a tuning circuit between the third energy node and the seventh node?

This design idea... in my over a thousand years of studying alchemy, I’ve rarely seen such an elegant solution!"

He halted his operations, fully analyzing Ron’s suggestion with concentration:

"Following your idea could not only avoid energy conflicts but also produce unexpected synergistic effects... My goodness, this is a genius concept!"

In the subsequent operations, Ron exhibited a talent that increasingly astounded Vinard.

The "Micro-structure Adaptation" trait enabled him to perform extremely precise rune carvings.

His fingers traced lightly in the air, leaving nano-level precise runes on the surface of materials.

This precision even exceeded most professional equipment.

"Unbelievable..."

Vinard’s voice was full of excitement:

"Just in terms of rune control precision, you’ve already reached expert-level proficiency!

And this innovative thinking... this intuitive understanding of the essence of materials..."

He set aside his work, his silver eyes focused intently on Ron:

"Child, I must ask you a question: are you interested in becoming my apprentice?"

This sudden proposal plunged the laboratory into a momentary silence.

Becoming an apprentice to the Great Wizard Vinard was a dream opportunity for countless alchemists.

Throughout the Ring Abyss Continent Group, those who earned his recognition were few and far between.

However, Ron had other considerations in mind.

The master-apprentice relationship was extremely important in the Wizard World.

Not only did it signify the transfer of knowledge, but it also represented the strong binding of interests and the shackles of favor transmission.

His current situation was already complex enough, and it was inadvisable to add new variables.

"Professor Vinard, I am truly honored, really."

Ron carefully organized his words, speaking with genuine respect:

"But I already have a mentor—Lady Allen Meredith.

Although she’s retired now, the master-apprentice bond still exists.

I cannot rashly establish a new master-apprentice relationship without her consent."

Upon hearing Lady Allen’s name, Vinard’s expression immediately turned complex.

His silver eyes dimmed a bit, and his voice carried a deep regret:

"Allen Meredith... the great Magic Potion genius once hoped for throughout the Central Lands.

If she could have become a Primordial Wizard back then... if she could have successfully broken through to the Dark Sun Level..."

Vinard shook his head, his mechanical appendages unconsciously tapping on the console:

"She was the most promising seed to advance to Great Wizard status before Cassandra, unfortunately... unfortunately..."

He was silent for a long time, eventually sighing:

"In that case, I won’t insist.

The master-apprentice relationship is indeed sacred and inviolable, one of our most fundamental wizard principles."

Re-focusing on the fusion work, Vinard’s attitude remained enthusiastic, but his words lacked some of the earlier closeness.

The fusion process lasted a full four hours.

Through their joint efforts, a new alchemy item gradually took shape.

Throughout the process, Ron’s various innate traits were fully displayed, causing Vinard to exclaim in marvel several times.

The "Creator’s Blessing" allowed him to intuitively understand the most complex alchemical principles;

"Extraordinary Creativity" provided countless innovative ideas during the fusion process;

"Micro-structure Adaptation" ensured the utmost precision in rune carving.

The final product left both of them satisfied.

The newly born alchemy item had an elegant and mysterious appearance.

The main body was composed of deep blue Time Crystal, with silvery light flowing gently inside like liquid.

On the crystal surface, the original core crystal of the "Eyes of True Wisdom" was embedded, like a mysterious eye that never closes.

"A perfect masterpiece."

Vinard admired the result with satisfaction, retracting his mechanical arm into the Void Remains:

"This item is now entirely yours, with all possible external control methods completely removed during the fusion process.

Moreover, with our joint improvements, its functionality is over 30% more powerful than originally envisioned."

Ron carefully wore the newly created "Eye of Time" on his chest, immediately feeling an unprecedented boost in perception.

The flow of time became clear and tangible, and he could even sense the microsecond delays in Vinard’s actions;

The surrounding hidden information was also evident, with every rune’s energy flow clearly visible.

[Acquired Special Alchemy Item: Eye of Time (Expert Level)]

[Effect 1: Time Perception - Insight into time changes, enhancing divination’s foresight of future developments]

[Special Effect 2: True Vision - See through illusions, concealment, disguises, and other deceptive methods]

[Special Effect 3: Spiritual Shield - Resist spiritual attacks and mental control]

[Special Effect 4: Dimensional Awareness - Sense cross-boundary transmission and spatial anomalies]

The transparent panel’s prompts filled Ron with delight.

This fusion item not only retained all the functions of the original two items but also generated additional synergistic effects.

Moreover, after testing, its various insight effects could further strengthen his "Hermit’s Knowledge," "Essential Insight," and other observation-based traits.

The spiritual protection and the bonus to divination of the future were unexpected joys.

As Ron prepared to take his leave, Vinard’s tone turned meaningful:

"Oh, there’s one more thing..."

He paused, a thoughtful glow in his eyes:

"You could also consider becoming my registered disciple.

There are quite a few devices in need of modification in my domain, and I just lack a reliable assistant."

This suggestion intrigued Ron.

Gaining practical experience under Vinard’s guidance would provide a tremendous boost to his alchemical skills.

He aspired to become an Alchemy Master, and what could be more effective than direct guidance from an Alchemy Master?

"I’m very interested, Professor."

He replied without hesitation: "When can we start?"

"No rush." Vinard waved his hand:

"Once you’ve completed your breakthrough to the Moon Level and have a stronger base, we can discuss specific arrangements."

His Void Remains projection began to blur, clearly consuming a lot to maintain its presence:

"Focus on preparing for your breakthrough, with your current progress, it shouldn’t be long."
