"After arriving in Mammon Street, it was my first time coming into contact with alchemy."
Tata nodded:
"It's alright. Alchemy knowledge can be supplemented through later learning, and your advantage doesn't lie in alchemy knowledge."
"Compared to alchemists, those of us in other professions are naturally much less sensitive to alchemy."
"Because the two skills of a first-tier alchemist are [Potion Enhancement] and [Acupuncture].
"Among them, [Acupuncture] is the skill that increases an alchemist's sensitivity to alchemical materials."
"Upon reaching the fourth tier, alchemists who have acquired the divinity of the god of innovation and creation will gain a skill called [Alchemy Prodigy]. At this point, alchemists truly differentiate themselves from other professions."
As Luo Xiu listened to Tata's words, he keenly noticed the suspicious points in Tata's statements:
"Teacher, isn't your profession an alchemist?"
Tata nodded:
"No. So what I want to tell you is that although alchemists have a natural advantage in alchemy, I have found a way to narrow that gap."
"That is, the violent balancing alchemy method I told you about."
After saying that, Tata extended four tentacles from her body and seemingly casually picked up four different materials from the scattered materials on the ground.
“Lizard man’s fingernails, rainbow grass seeds, sun-dried Rak flowers, and hollow crystal powder.”
As he spoke, he used his four tentacles to blend the four materials together.
Magic surged forth along with the black mist, and the four materials began to change visibly.
First, the seeds of the Rainbow Grass turned into a liquid state, then the dried Rak Flower merged into it and disappeared, and finally the Lizardman's fingernail was crushed into powder by magic and thrown in.
Boom! ! !
The moment the lizardman's fingernails turned to powder.
The material that had fused into a ball in the four tentacles in front of Tata instantly became extremely unstable, and the fused mass began to twist and change continuously.
A violent force surged from it.
Luo Xiu's eyes narrowed.
Although he didn't understand alchemy.
But he had seen many people practicing alchemy on Mammon Street and knew that this phenomenon was a sign of impending chaos.
But suddenly, a magic circle appeared in front of Tata, tightly enveloping the fused mass.
Then, the tentacles on Tata's body danced and slapped against the magic circle.
bang bang bang! ! !
With each strike, the fused object encased in the magic circle visibly shrank a little.
The roaring sound gradually subsided.
Until the very end,
The roaring sound finally stopped.
Tata slowly opened her four tentacles, and in the middle of the tentacles lay a clump of silvery-white substance that looked like both liquid and powder.
"Invisibility potion".
Tata began to speak:
"It is derived from the effect of rainbow grass becoming invisible under light, and when combined with dried Lac flower powder, it will fluoresce, which can achieve short-term invisibility."
"Both Rainbow Grass and Rak Flower Dried Flower have a light-oriented nature, so a certain amount of Lizardman Nails, which are dark-oriented, are needed to balance them. Finally, the gentle Void Crystal Powder is used to neutralize them."
Luo Xiu's eyes widened.
What did he see? Gold being rubbed in the air with bare hands?
"This is the alchemy of brute force balancing."
Tata began to speak:
"Normal alchemy requires an absolute sensitivity to materials, a proper order in which materials are added, and appropriate time intervals. There must be no conflicting properties between the materials in order to achieve the desired effect."
"But violent balancing alchemy is about taking the main effect of the material you want and neutralizing the extreme properties of the material with the opposite properties. This is very dangerous. When two opposite properties first come into contact, what happens is definitely not neutralization, but violent repulsion."
"So at this point, you have to rely on external force to force these two materials to react and completely suppress any potential explosion!"
After Tata finished speaking, Luo Xiu thought of how he had turned carbon powder into diamonds under high pressure in his previous life.
This alchemy is truly a rigorous process.
"So, as long as you drink this potion, you can become invisible?"
Luo Xiu spoke up.
Tata shook his head:
"This is the drawback of violent balancing alchemy. The alchemical products obtained by this method contain the energy that you just suppressed, so they are generally not used for internal consumption."
"Instead, use it directly or in a soaking vessel."
"Using it directly turns alchemical potions into medicinal mist, while using an infusion vessel is to imbue items and equipment with effects."
After Tata finished speaking, she found an empty bottle and put the silvery-white invisibility potion into it.
"Today's class is over. Your first assignment is to memorize the balance properties of all the alchemical materials. After you've memorized them, you can start practicing alchemy in the crucible to get a feel for it."
Tata tossed several thick books and the invisibility potion into Luo Xiu's arms.
"Alright, go ahead and carry it!"
A black mist swept over Tata.
Luo Xiu's vision went black for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already at the front door.
Behind them, a long queue had already formed in front of the door.
"Why did someone suddenly appear? Who is this person?"
There was discussion.
Luo Xiu was wearing a smiling raccoon mask and his clothes had changed from yesterday's cloak to everyday clothes, so no one recognized him.
"He looks like he's holding a bottle of medicine! He must be here to ask for medicine!"
Someone spoke.
"Didn't they say that the master doesn't allow queuing for seven hours after midnight?!"
A group of people started discussing, but Luo Xiu ignored them, put away the medicine and the book, and walked back to the third cubicle on the right.
"Tassanya, take off your cloak, change your clothes, and go buy a door."
Luo Xiu instructed:
"Oh, and while you're at it, buy a few more chairs."
He has now given up on the idea of making a door, and is just hoping that Tassanya can successfully buy one.
Outside the lattice-shaped house, those busybodies watched Luo Xiu for a while before leaving.
After all, there are too many cubicles on Mammon Street, and no one will keep focusing on an alchemist.
Luo Xiu was happy to be free.
For some reason, what happened last night hasn't spread.
I don't know if it was suppressed or what.
But this also gave Luo Xiu the peace of mind to read for a while.
He looked at the first book.
Fundamentals of Alchemy Materials
He became engrossed in it after watching for only a short while.
He is not from this world after all.
Reading these books is like reading online novels in a past life. Looking at the strange materials and bizarre uses described in the books, I don't feel like I'm reading a textbook.
In the following days, Luo Xiu enjoyed a rare period of peace and quiet.
I usually stroll around Mammon Street in the morning to see if anyone has blown up a furnace or brewed a new medicine.
After my stroll, I came back to continue reading.
Having advanced to the fourth level, his memory was no longer at the level of an ordinary person, and memorizing texts was not a difficult task for him.
After he finishes memorizing his lessons, he will check the system panel in the evening to see how his Leila is doing.
The above shows that Leila is in good condition.
Milair is in good condition.
This can be seen from the fact that Luo Xiu can collect a wave of points every few days, which means that Leila is probably using the "Magic Anti-Aircraft Cannon" to shoot down bats at night.
Each time, there are about eight or nine Tier 1 Demon Bats.
And so, six or seven days passed.
One morning, Luo Xiu closed the book in his hand.
Today is a good day, I'm in a good mood, and the weather is nice too.
He prepared to start refining gold.
Chapter 95 The Results of the First Alchemy
Alchemy is not a simple matter, a point that is clearly stated in several books that Luo Xiu has read.
The frequent roaring sounds outside are strong evidence of this.
Every day, countless genius alchemists lose their limbs or their lives on this street.
Luo Xiu would never dare to attempt a high-difficulty challenge right from the start.
He chose a first-tier alchemical potion called the Energy Potion as the subject of his first attempt.
