Almighty Alchemist

The residence of the Carmel family is located in a beautiful place outside Fragrant Leaf City. This family circled a large piece of land here, planted paulownia trees all around, and hid the entire Purple Grape Manor behind the paulownia forest. Even in winter, the emerald green paulownia leaves decorate the place as if it were midsummer.

In the center of Qingtong Forest, people pave a gravel road with cobblestones. As the carriage passes through the gravel road, there will be alert servants at the front to take care of it. At the same time, someone will quickly ask who is the guest and what happened, and then report back to the owner immediately, so as to avoid some embarrassing incidents due to lack of preparation.

After crossing the long gravel road, we entered the Purple Grape Manor. The servants will greet the guests in different ways according to the nobility of the guests.

For the noble guests, they will lead the guests to the high-end small living room first, where the host will meet them.

For ordinary guests, they will let the guests wait directly in the lobby.

But today's one made the servants feel a little bit difficult. When they decided whether to let the guests in, Xiu Yi had already solved this problem with actions.

"I think we can go directly to the pharmacy." It can be seen that the young magician in front of him is very efficient.

"Guests please follow me." Butler Gary said respectfully.

A servant ran not far away and gestured to Gary. Gary nodded in understanding. They didn't know that Huey had been a handyman for nearly four years, so she knew exactly what this gesture meant—the master wanted to observe the guest, and didn't plan to show up for the time being.

Huey smiled slightly.

The pharmacy of the Carmel family is not big, and there is only one person and two assistants in charge of refining pharmacy.

In fact, for most alchemists, potion refining is only a part of their work. More often than not, they are more willing to delve into new alchemy than to stay in the same place where they have nothing to achieve.

It is a pity that alchemy is such a costly profession that if every alchemist leaves the support of the family, it is almost impossible to survive and it is difficult to progress.

By helping some big families and merchants to refine medicines, it is an important means for some alchemists to develop. Most families and businessmen are not interested in researching new products—that would be too costly, and they prefer to invest in known formulas with higher returns.

This means that those who can become family alchemists are often those who are skilled in a certain area, but it is very likely that they will not be able to go further in their life.

What Gary showed Xiuyi at this moment was such an alchemist from the Lance Empire, George Daiman, a master figure who specialized in potions.

———————————

"Oh, what did you say? You brought the guy who screwed up my pharmacy with his out-of-the-box idea? He said he was coming to teach me how to make potions?"

Before entering the pharmacy, Huey heard the angry roar from George Dayman.

"No, that's an insult to me!" the guy yelled.

When she came to the door, Xiu Yi saw a middle-aged man wearing an alchemist's robe and a pointed hat was throwing a fit at the servant.

When he saw Xiuyi appearing in front of his pharmacy, George Daiman, the alchemist of the Carmel family, roared angrily:

"Is this boy who hasn't even grown hair yet wants to teach me how to make potions? This is too ridiculous! I won't accept his instructions! Let him get out of my pharmacy immediately! What? A magician? No, he can't be a magician, every alchemist knows some spells. Maybe this young boy just came here a few times and made you mistake him for a magician. No, no, I will never accept him interfering in my work in my place, and I didn't interrupt him with my own hands. Your leg is already a show of my kindness!"

Huey frowned.

He asked Gary softly: "He doesn't seem to have a good temper? I mean, I just wanted to come and help you solve your problem."

Gary replied carefully: "Master George Daiman is a very famous alchemist in the empire. It is also the patriarch's face to be able to invite him. The family's pharmacy business has always been supported by Master George Daiman, which is an important reason why the family has never produced medicines below the top grade. It is normal for people with status like the master to be difficult to get close to."

Gary's words are obviously implying that almost every capable alchemist is like this.

They are high above, they are arrogant and domineering.

Xiu Yi suddenly realized that he had neglected one thing.

All along, he has been working on Purgatory Island. Even if he kills people like Haines, Pierre, Andrew and others, he never puts on a high airs in front of the servants for no reason.

This made him subconsciously think that every alchemist should be like this.

But it turns out that the performance of arrogance and arrogance requires two basic foundations. One: Superiority and strength beyond ordinary people. Two: A bystander who can make him show his arrogance.

Although Hines and the others on Purgatory Island possess strengths unmatched by all the alchemists in the empire combined, they lack the second foundation. Arrogance cannot bring them any sensory pleasure, so doing things down-to-earth is the most meaningful.

But after walking out of Purgatory Island, whenever Xiu Yi saw any alchemist with a certain status, they were almost arrogant and reckless. This has nothing to do with their strength, but that they have the two foundations that are enough to make them arrogant.

Thinking of this, Xiuyi realized why his arrival at this moment made that George Dayman so angry and unreasonable-in the latter's view, this behavior of guiding the other party was nothing more than a behavioral provocation and a doubt of his ability.

Xiuyi smiled and pursed her lips.

Maybe it's time to give the other party a little color. he thinks.

———————————

Entering the pharmacy, Xiu Yi glanced around.

Then he raised his head and looked at the master alchemist: "Master George Daiman? My name is Finke Danito, nice to meet you."

"Oh, I'm not happy to see you. My work is busy! I have a lot of things to do, and I don't want to talk to a good-for-nothing kid who messed up my potion. What are you doing here? Are you trying to tell me how I should refine my potion? This is ridiculous. How old are you? How many potions have you refined? How much ability do you have in alchemy? Get out of my place now!"

The master alchemist shouted unceremoniously.

Huey walked towards George Dayman without fear: "My mentor once told me that there is never a shortage of arrogant people in this world. They don't have any real talents, but they are always unwilling to accept others' opinions with humility. But I didn't expect to see such characters even in a family like Carmel. It's really a pity."

"How dare you insult me!"

"No, that's not an insult, but a statement of a fact." Xiuyi said calmly.

He walked around George Dayman's body and came to the test bench where he placed the materials.

Grabbing the materials on the table at random, ignoring George Dayman's roar of "put my stuff down".

Looking up at George Daiman, Huey said, "Perhaps you yourself think that you are indeed an unparalleled master in refining alchemy, and you don't need anyone's advice, but I believe that no one in this world can truly say that he is proficient in all alchemy..." Speaking of this, his eyes swept across the table: "It's really unimaginable, my lord, you put the liquid of the fire snake, the blood of the wind roar, and the ointment of the deep sea whale together?"

The boy in front of him said the last sentence in a flat tone, it seemed that the other party had made some mistake.

Alchemist George Dayman was stunned: "So what? What does that mean? Will there be any problems if you put them together?"

"What will go wrong?" Xiu Yi suddenly looked up at George Dayman: "Maybe I should really let your lord know what will go wrong. Then let's try it out?"

Having said that Xiu Yi suddenly grabbed a cup, and then poured the snake's snakes and the blood of the wind roar into the cup. At the same time, he said, "Let's see what there is still in this place. Ah, some dried leeches, let us develop it into powder. By the way, then put it in. Look here, this can accelerate, and there are some catalysts, let us put it in. Let us let us. Let us let us. Put some other raw materials ... Look, the process is not complicated. I believe you have seen the master, right? "

Xiu Yi quickly picked up the materials on the table, processed them, and then put them in. Just from the vigor of his technique, people realized that the young man in front of him was definitely not a liar who knew nothing about medicine.

After quickly putting in the ingredients, the beaker in Xiuyi's hand already contained a cup of adjusted medicine.

They flowed quietly in the beaker, but no one knew what it was.

With a mysterious smile on his face, Xiu Yi casually took a box of ointment made from the fat of a giant deep-sea whale.

Huey said:

"Lord Daiman, I believe you must know that the serpent liquid of the fire snake is a good generator of fire elements. Under some special circumstances, as long as it is given enough conditions, it will continuously generate fire elements until it consumes itself. You must be very clear about this, right?"

With that said, Xiu Yi slowly poured the ointment into the beaker.

The lizard liquid poured into the ointment began to undergo some subtle changes inside, and some special bubbles were being formed.

"Hold it." The boy said as he handed the beaker into the hands of the alchemist.

George Dayman took it blankly.

He saw that the salamander liquid was constantly agitating, as if something was blowing air inside.

Xiu Yi's voice sounded in his ears like a devil:

"Yes, as you can see now, my lord, I just used the materials you put on the table to complete the manufacturing process of this fire element. Now you see, the liquid of these fire snakes is constantly producing fire elements. Under normal circumstances, these fire elements will merge into the air without any terrible consequences, so we will not have the opportunity to observe their specific images. But the ointment I added has a unique fettering power against the elements, which makes them temporarily unable to escape, so that we can be more Observing them clearly...Of course, this is only temporary. After all, any kind of magic element is very annoying to the power of elemental shackles. Fortunately, they are not in a hurry, because the mixture of fire snake lizard and windhowl blood is constantly generating new partners for those fire elements, which will make their power more and more powerful..."

As Xiuyi said, the liquid in the cup is constantly producing elements of fire, one after another small red bubbles are agitating and bursting in the liquid, it looks like small fireballs are constantly exploding inside.

Xiu Yi stared at the alchemist in front of him: "The fire elements must be strong enough to get rid of the elemental shackles of the sea whale ointment. Then, do you know how powerful these fire elements are when they accumulate enough power to break through the elemental shackles?...Just such a small cup of fire elements can blow up the entire room."

All the bystanders backed away in fright.

That George Dayman looked at Xiu Yi in shock, and he murmured: "Oh... my God!"

The boy's expression was as calm as ever, as if what he was doing at the moment was just a trivial matter.

He said softly: "My lord, you don't have much time. The salamander's lizard liquid is constantly producing new fire elements. Since I added enough salamander liquid and windhowl blood this time, as well as some auxiliary materials, it can produce fire elements at a very fast speed this time, so fast that it only takes a short time for the fire elements to accumulate enough explosive power. So let's start the countdown now, shall we? I estimate that there are still thirty seconds for them to complete a burst, and you have to solve this problem before then. Start counting now. .Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight..."

—————————————

The air was condensed in an instant, and everyone looked at George Dayman.

Looking at the beaker rolling in front of him, the great alchemist who was still extremely arrogant just now was already trembling with fright.

A large amount of fire elements were constantly being produced in the cup, but he didn't know what to do.

"Twenty-five, twenty-four, twenty-three..." Xiu Yi's countdown continued.

"No!" The great alchemist yelled, "Tell me what to do!? Say it!"

"Twenty, Master Daiman, you are an excellent alchemist, I believe such a small problem will not trouble you."

"Are you crazy? It's about to explode! Get rid of it!" George Dayman shouted hysterically.

"Eighteen, seventeen." The young man continued his countdown calmly: "My lord, don't be too anxious, we still have time. Demeanor, pay attention to your demeanor. Alchemists are elegant, wise, and noble. We never shout, even if death is approaching..."

The liquid in the beaker was still emitting red bubbles, but it was getting denser.

They are like liquid explosives, once they explode, they will destroy everything here.

Everyone was staring at the beaker, staring at the bloody liquid that was constantly tumbling, which was simply the last accumulation of energy before the eruption of the volcano.

"Thirteen...twelve...." The young man's voice was still elegant and calm, and even his expression was always calm.

He looked like a well-behaved baby, and what he was facing at the moment was just a fun toy.

He smiled at all of this, completely ignoring the fear in that arrogant alchemist's heart.

"No! No! Get rid of it, you madman!" George Dayman yelled frantically.

His hands were shaking constantly.

The boy seemed to have never heard of it, and he had no intention of solving the problem with his hands behind his back: "You'd better hold on tight, Mr. Daiman, haven't you figured out a solution yet? Oh yes, you still have ten seconds,"

"Oh my god, my god, this is crazy, I can't solve it!" George Dayman screamed: "Please, I can't solve it, I give up, you are better than me! I apologize to you! Oh my god, it is about to explode!"

George Dayman yelled frantically, shouting at the top of his lungs.

The liquid in the beaker has begun to burst into flames, and the bubbles formed by the elements of fire have begun to try to break through the shackles of the elements that hinder them, and are about to send out to the outside world.

And at the bottom of the cup, more fire elements are flowing like magma in a volcano. They have formed a whole from a single fire element, until the final eruption moment comes...

Even an idiot can see the consequences of these forcibly suppressed fire elements once they erupt. If it is easy to blow up a pharmacy, it is very likely that the entire Purple Grape Manor will be destroyed.

"I said I surrendered, did you hear that?!" George Dayman finally cried out loud in fright.

The boy shook his head regretfully: "Why did you admit defeat in such a hurry? As I said, you still have enough time... There are still seven seconds."

George Dayman teared up: "Oh no, please, I beg you! Don't let it blow up, get it out of my hands... oh my god! Take it away, let me go... omg this is crazy!"

Sighing softly, the boy smiled and shook his head: "This really surprised me, it turns out that your courage is completely out of proportion to your arrogance, I'm sorry for frightening you..."

Huey gently took the beaker from George Dayman.

There are five seconds left.

Everyone's hearts have stopped in their throats.

The boy's smile remained the same.

He was not in a hurry, but explained softly: "It's actually very simple to solve this problem. Just add some holly juice, and they can quickly absorb the fire element. But remember, don't use too much at once, otherwise, before it absorbs enough fire elements, it will destroy the ointment's shackles first, and eventually trigger the fire element to erupt in advance."

As he spoke, he dripped a few drops of holly juice into the bottle.

At this point, there is one second left.

In the beaker that was about to explode, a large amount of fire elements had formed the final gushing state. George Daiman's whole body was already limp, and he just wanted to run until he couldn't move.

However, the moment Xiu Yi dropped the holly grass, the flame suddenly disappeared.

After meeting the juice of the holly grass, the fire element accumulated in a large amount seemed to flow into the sea at once from the volcano, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, only a large amount of white gas spewed out from the mouth of the cup, which was the last testimony of its existence in this small cup.

The original violence and mania in the world in the cup suddenly became quiet, as if nothing had ever happened.

It all ended so simply.

George Dayman gasped heavily.

Sweat dripped from his face, he stared blankly at Xiu Yi, unable to speak a word.

In fact, everyone was dumbfounded.

Xiu Yi was still standing there with a smile all over her face.

He looked like that handsome young man, without loud roars, without the intensity of dancing, and without the slightest show of publicity and domineering.

He is like a typical aristocratic boy, elegant, indifferent, quiet, knowledgeable and courteous, and does not do anything beyond the rules.

He simply created a death crisis with the few materials he had in hand, and resolved it at the last moment. During this process, he has always been calm and composed.

People finally understood that behind this gentle and refined young man was a terrifying cruelty.

An elegant brutality.

A hysterical madness.
