Chapter 967: Learning something new
Walking to the small wooden door, Su Xiao opened it for himself.
This door looked small, but the space behind it was very large.
It led to a very good alchemy lab with an area of about a hundred square meters. It had almost everything you needed, starting with a variety of equipment and ending with a large number of materials.
From some of the liquid materials in the test tubes, it was obvious that this alchemy lab had not been used for a long time.
After walking inside, Su Xiao felt a little regretful. If he could stay in such a place for more time, his alchemy would undergo a tremendous change, however, his relationship with the Tree Sage was neutral and he had very little time.
At most, he would only be able to learn from him with very limited experience, and the Tree Sage obviously wouldn't teach him anything more even if there was time due to their neutral relationship.
As for establishing a good relationship with the Tree Sage, it was a waste of time, for Su Xiao was very aware of the power of his charisma.
So Su Xiao didn't expect much. If he could level up his alchemical biological transformation to level 20, that would already be a very good outcome.
Although he didn't have much time, Su Xiao wasn't in a hurry to create alchemy ravens. First, he started flipping through an ancient book.
This book was called The Origin of Alchemical Creatures. The first third of the book dealt with the origins of alchemical creatures. Su Xiao wasn't interested in what kind of roots they had, he only wanted to know how best to create them, so he only got a glimpse of that part.
After reading the first section, the second section was "Creating Alchemy Creatures", and now Su Xiao began to study it carefully.
The alchemy described in this book was partially different from the one he had mastered.
Fortunately, their principles were similar.
The more he studied this book, which could actually be used as a weapon, the more Su Xiao became imbued with the wonders of alchemy. Bundling together 'inanimate' materials was a form of alchemical biology. Most alchemy creatures didn't have minds.
If the alchemist wasn't mentally retarded, there was no way he would have allowed his alchemy creations to have independent thinking.
In the end, it wouldn't lead to anything good.
If an alchemy creature obtained its own will, it became a problem. Examples of the deaths of countless alchemists proved that after alchemical beings gained self-awareness, they began to strive for freedom, and their creator alchemists were the biggest obstacle on their path to freedom, so many alchemists ended up dying at the hands of the creatures they created.
This didn't mean that alchemy creatures couldn't be allowed to have their own will at all, just that there had to be a limit to everything. For example, you could limit yourself to the fact that the alchemical creature entered the battle and acted only at the behest of its creator.
Excessive freedom won't do any good, but will only lead to a bloody end.
As for the alchemy creatures created by Su Xiao, they wouldn't have an independent consciousness at all. All creatures created by him will be under Bubtni's control during combat and will not rely on their own fighting instincts.
They will only have strength, speed, and durability.
— It turns out that it is unwise to carve a magic circle on the core of an alchemy creature. This will only make its core a weak point.
Su Xiao quickly absorbed the knowledge from this ancient book. He had never systematically studied alchemy, and now that he received this book, he was like a shriveled sponge that absorbed water in the form of alchemy knowledge.
A few hours later, Su Xiao closed the book. The knowledge contained in this ancient book couldn't be understood in a single day, so he spent about half an hour creating a copy of this ancient book.
Since the Tree Sage had handed it over to him, he obviously assumed that he would make a copy of it.
Su Xiao stood up and walked over to the table. He was going to start creating alchemy ravens. If he was an ordinary alchemist, he definitely wouldn't be able to improve quickly in alchemy, but he wasn't an ordinary alchemist. His alchemy was a skill, and this skill absorbed the knowledge that he gained naturally, which sped up the level of this skill.
And after entering this room, Su Xiao realized that he could create as many alchemy items as he could here.
In the center of the room was an oval-shaped stone. The outer layer of this stone was blue and emitted a hazy blue light.
This blue light was like an aura.
When he entered this room, he immediately saw the notification.
[Notification: The hunter is within range of the magic source, so the mana recovery per second has been increased by 5.
This effect will disappear after entering combat or if you leave the magic source's range (20 meters).).]
There was no need to worry about mana in this room. How could a Tree Sage, clearly being a famous alchemist, not solve the mana shortage problem?
Mana was a very stable energy and catalyst, so it wasn't a problem for such an experienced alchemist.
To create an alchemy raven, the following materials were required: pseudoskeleton (3), crystal monster core (1), biological magic cloth (2), soul fragment (4).
In addition to these materials Su Xiao had to have 150 mana points to stabilize these ingredients.
The pseudo-skeleton, core, and fabric were easy to find, for there were good counterparts everywhere in this room, and they were actually even higher-level. As for the soul fragments, they were already not so easy to obtain, as they were obtained by destroying a small soul crystal.
Su Xiao started searching the room. It was unlikely that a Tree Sage wouldn't leave such an important material in this room.
And soon, he found a flame-red wooden block on the shelf. After examining it, Su Xiao realized that it could easily replace the soul fragments. This bar even made Su Xiao realize that he had seen it somewhere before, and pretty quickly, he realized that it was part of those tree people.
After putting a large amount of necessary materials on the table, Su Xiao started creating alchemy ravens without stopping.
In the living room of the house, a semi-transparent stone slab floated in front of the Tree Sage.
On the stone slab was a picture of Su Xiao, who was currently creating an alchemy raven.
The Tree Sage's attitude towards this young Law Shadow earlier seemed to be careless, but in reality, he was ready to kick it away at any moment.
— The Tree Sage originally thought that Su Xiao would study the ancient book for a few days, but Su Xiao only studied it for about an hour before brazenly copying it and starting to create the alchemy raven.
— How's he doing?" Lilim asked curiously.
— Fine, " the Tree Sage replied, and placed Su Xiao in the category of eager newcomers to learn something new. "Lilim, don't you want to learn alchemy?
— No, it's too complicated. My head starts to hurt when I see these piles of materials, and when it comes to catalysts and inhibitors, my head just wants to burst, " Lilim's attitude was very relaxed now, and she didn't behave as respectfully as before.
It wasn't that she didn't respect the Tree Sage, but that she was very familiar with him. When she was very young, she had lived in this tree house for a long time, and she knew that he was a kind and friendly elder at heart.
In fact, it was obvious from the alchemy items on Lilim that the Tree Sage was very fond of her. Even some higher demons didn't possess such alchemy items.
— It's always good to have more knowledge, " the Tree Sage replied helplessly. Lilim was already his favorite natural granddaughter, but she wasn't interested in alchemy. When he was young, he was forced to study alchemy himself, and he cried endlessly over it.
The Tree Sage, who had no native descendants and successors, smiled softly as he recalled the past.
— I know, I know, " Lilim said, and began to wander around the house, sometimes picking up various alchemy items and playing with them.
At this time, Su Xiao, who seemed to want to learn something new in the Tree Sage's eyes, started to do something that the Tree Sage didn't expect to see at all.
Su Xiao had two goals. The first is to upgrade your alchemical biological transformations to level 20, and the second is to try to upgrade them beyond level 20.
