Almighty Alchemist

Everything was as Xiu Yi expected, and he successfully showed his strength.

The Carmel family was shocked by Xiu Yi's strength in alchemy, and they even threw an olive branch to Xiu Yi, hoping that the young alchemist could stay and serve the family.

However, Xiu Yi politely refused.

He put forward a simple condition. He was willing to sell the improved formulas of three potions to the family, reducing the production cost of each potion by an average of two Goldwits, and providing a brand-new formula of a boutique potion. Each bottle could bring them a profit of at least ten Goldwitts.

Of course, the condition is that they must provide him with a batch of expensive and hard-to-find materials according to the list drawn by Huey, plus a sum of cash.

The cash that Huey needs is not much, but the value of this batch of materials is as high as nearly 7,000 Goldwitts. After weighing the pros and cons, the Carmel family finally agreed to this condition. In order to ensure that the Carmel family has all the rights to the new formula, Huey made a blood oath on the magic scroll: this transaction will be kept strictly confidential, and he will not disclose this to anyone or any family. .

Although the god of the oath is in a state of laziness and sleep most of the time, for the Carmel family, such a vow can still be reassuring. If this news leaks, or Xiuyi sells the potion formula to other families in violation of the oath, then the Carmel family will have the right to hunt and kill him regardless of his status as a magician, and the Lance Empire will not pursue responsibility and guarantee its legal ownership of the potion formula.

This can be a copyright agreement similar to modern society, especially to the satisfaction of the Carmel family is that Huey even took the initiative to improve the details of the agreement in order to avoid the possibility of taking advantage of the loopholes in the agreement, which shows his sincerity.

After all, for the Carmel family, these contents were obtained with great painstaking efforts. Once stolen, the loss can be described as heavy.

After the oath was fulfilled, Xiu Yi readily handed over the formulas of the four medicines, and showed everyone the trial production on the spot. Mr. Daiman, who was originally extremely arrogant, was completely convinced after seeing Xiu Yi's superb technique and the magical formula. If he hadn't also had a contract with the Carmel family, maybe he had already dropped everything and immediately devoted himself to Xiu Yi's door as a student.

The Carmel family sent all the materials Huey needed to the hotel where he lived, and the transaction was successfully completed.

It didn't take too long to get back to the hotel from the Carmel family, and when he came back, he found that the entire song and dance troupe had already been waiting there.

Including Clarice.

Everyone heard that Xiu Yi was picked up by the Carmel family. Although they were stubborn and respectful, it still made everyone's heart beat.

But when they saw that Xiu Yi came back in the luxury carriage of the Carmel family, Gary's butler called him master one by one, and everyone was dumbfounded.

If the people in the song and dance troupe hadn't realized that this little boy who suddenly appeared in the troupe was worth paying attention to, then people don't think so anymore.

They looked at the boy in front of them with awe in their eyes.

After all, there are not many people who can send a luxurious carriage back from a large family and have the housekeeper respectfully treat them.

Back in her room, Xiu Yi began to pack her things.

He has to take the time to do what he should do.

No one knows when people from the Legal Affairs Bureau will find him, and it is always better to plan ahead than to cram.

"Fink," the sweet voices of Daisy and Randy sounded from outside.

"Daisy, Randy, I can't answer any of your questions right now. I'm going out for a few days, and I won't be back until a few days later," Huey replied inside the house.

"You have to leave here," the voices of the two girls outside were full of panic. They didn't expect that Xiu Yi would leave as soon as she came back.

"...It's only temporary, don't worry, I'll be back soon,"

"But aren't you going to tell us something, we have something to tell you,"

"Not now, wait until I come back," Xiu Yi said firmly.

"Okay Fink, we'll be waiting for you," the two girls said, leaving the room softly, disappointed.

Without the interruption of the girls, Xiu Yi left the hotel in a hurry.

Came to a wilderness outside Xiangye City, carefully observed the surrounding area, and after confirming that there was no one there, Xiu Yi released red and green to guard the surrounding area.

The next moment, he took out all the collected materials.

In front of him was the book from Pierre's room containing records of all of Hines' experiments.

What he was going to do this time was an experiment he had never done before, magic pattern engraving.

The magic pattern engraving invented by Electra is actually a kind of human magic circle in essence.

The magic circle is a necessary help for people to cast large-scale magic. The lowest-level magic can be completed with only spells, and the middle and high-level magic requires the cooperation of spells and gestures. This is why Xiuyi needs to use the six-pointed star array when performing Void Slash, and some super or even forbidden spells require the support of large magic circles to complete.

Generally speaking, seventh-level spells require a certain degree of magic circle cooperation.

There is no super forbidden spell that can be used at will, otherwise this world would be destroyed.

The magic circle can be said to be a necessary support for human magicians when they use spells. Ordinary magicians can use the power of the magic circle to use more powerful magic. Even people who don't know magic can use the elemental resonance magic circle to temporarily use magic as long as they know how to recite spells.

It's just that a lot of materials are needed to set up the magic circle, and each use will consume a lot of energy, even including some rare materials, so people will not easily use it.

Electra's magic pattern engraving is actually evolved on the basis of the magic circle. He hopes to complete the use of magic by engraving the magic circle on the human body. As for the supply of energy, it depends on the person's own magic power or vitality.

This is undoubtedly a great change. To burn magic circles on human skin means that many materials will not be available. You cannot carve energy crystals into your body, and you cannot carve a large amount of materials into your body. You can only do it by making special potions.

In addition, the magic pattern is smaller and finer than the traditional magic circle, so the requirements are higher.

Therefore, the magic pattern formula that Hines repeatedly tested on the servants was actually looking for what kind of material to use to make a suitable potion to engrave the magic pattern.

There are two steps in the completion of the magic pattern. One is to find suitable materials to form the formula, so that it can be engraved on the human body to achieve the effect of resonating with external elements. This is why the magic pattern engraving allows people who do not know magic to release magic.

Therefore, the person engraved with the magic pattern has the advantage of being free from using gestures and can use magic by chanting spells. For a magician, this may not be a big deal, but for a warrior, if he can have some kind of magic that can be used by just chanting spells, then his advantage is obvious.

For twenty-three years, Hines has been trying to reproduce Electra's invention. He tried to use a magic pattern to completely replace the elemental resonance, but he always failed. Every time he thought he was going to break through, he finally found that he couldn't break through.

Until the appearance of Xiu Yi.

From the magic dragon Rita, Xiu Yi learned that even spells of the same system have different requirements for element resonance sensing due to different magic, so the magic pattern should not be a separate existence, but each magic pattern represents a certain degree of elemental resonance, and each array represents the corresponding spell effect.

Therefore, everyone misunderstood Electra's invention, thinking that he only invented a few magic lines to replace all the magic elements, but this is not the case.

Such an approach may not be able to allow humans to possess the talent of this element with a certain magic pattern, but it can make the opponent at least have a single spell.

And Hines has always been on the wrong path.

Soon thereafter, Xiuyi reminded Hines in a tactful way and pointed out this problem to him, which made Hines wake up.

That is, since then, the progress of his magic pattern research has obviously accelerated.

After nearly two years of unremitting research, Hines found 14 formulas that could produce different levels of elemental resonance, and at the same time researched more than 20 kinds of magic patterns. That is to say, he had not obtained any results for more than 20 years, but because of Xiuyi's reminder, he had more than 20 kinds of magic that he could not learn but could use at will after two years.

It has to be said that Hines is still very capable in this area, but it is a pity that he does not have the talent of a magician, so many times, he cannot see what the magic world is like, just like smart ants cannot understand the human world.

Of course, it cannot be said that all his efforts in the early stage were in vain. Those records that cost countless lives and materials are also the basis for Hines' rapid success.

But now, what Xiuyi has to do is to engrave a spell map for himself according to the formula recorded by Hines.

Before that, he never did.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.

"Well," the severe pain made Xiu Yi growl unbearably.

The moment the prepared potion entered the skin of his body, the radiating properties of the medicine brought Xiu Yi intense pain. He finally understood why those teenagers in the valley made such horrific howls. The pain was like gnawing insects and ants, crazily biting his painful nerves. Even Iron Man couldn't stand the torment.

At that moment, he almost collapsed, and he quickly put a piece of cloth on himself, so as not to disturb the possible passers-by by the loud roar when he couldn't bear it.

Hold on.

Xiu Yi's eyes widened, and the tiny engraving needle kept beating on his body, as if an invisible hand was manipulating it, drawing strange lines made of gray-black potion on his chest.

The needle pierced the skin, but strangely, no trace of blood flowed out. After the gray-black potion penetrated into the skin, it stayed there, emitting a deep glow.

In this way, a small magic circle was gradually formed under the beating of the engraving needle, and the originally isolated and messy lines gradually formed a strange miniature magic circle, which was firmly fixed on Xiuyi's chest.

After the thin needle finished its last trajectory, it miraculously separated from his body and returned to the ground. Xiu Yi lay on the cold ground panting heavily, and almost lost the strength to sit up. Xiu Yi's face was twisted, and his whole body was sweating profusely like a cramp.

He finally understood why neither Hines nor Andrew engraved the magic pattern on his body, because the pain was so intense that you just wanted to commit suicide.

After lying on the ground and resting for a long time, Xiu Yi barely sat up.

He looked down at his chest.

In front of his chest is a three-pointed star array composed of eighteen normal lines. The three arrays are combined to form a whole, emitting a strange and dark light.

People who don't know may think that this is just an ordinary geometric pattern, even alchemists and magicians who are well versed in the principles of magic circles will not understand what other patterns can do.

But Xiuyi knew that this magic circle was the most valuable of the dozens of magic patterns invented by Hines, the dark magic pattern.

The dark magic pattern is a very peculiar magic pattern, it only affects the soul power.

In other words, this magic pattern is only suitable for soul mages.

A mage with the dark magic pattern can produce the ability of soul shock, which is the same as the wind element shock in Xiuyi's wind element induction talent, which can greatly increase the power of soul spells.

In the process of researching the magic pattern, because the variety of the magic pattern is too large, complicated, and cumbersome, Heins can't choose what formula he can research, or what formula he can't research. He can only adjust his research direction and strategy according to his own discoveries.

This led Hines to find helplessly that most of the more than ten magic pattern formulas he had researched were actually not suitable for ordinary people to use. On the contrary, they were very suitable for magicians to further strengthen their magic power.

The price of making these potions is so expensive, and it is completely uneconomical to use so many materials just to allow a magician to reach a deeper level, at least in Hynes' view.

He studied the magic pattern to make himself a real magician, not to serve the magician's upgrade.

This can be said to be a helplessness faced by Hines, and it is also another reason why the research results of the magic pattern have never been handed over to the empire.

But for Xiu Yi, this is good news.

As early as when she was on Purgatory Island, Xiu Yi realized that only relying on alchemy to improve one's soul spell ability would always achieve limited results, but with the dark magic pattern, everything would be different.

This means that from now on, his talent in soul spells is truly the same as his wind element talent.

The ease of use of soul spells is actually far superior to wind spells. This is not to say that wind spells are inferior to soul spells, but mainly because soul spells ignore the level difference.

If the two kinds of spells are practiced together to the apex, their formidable power is quite powerful, but from the primary effect, soul spells have more power to turn things around than wind spells. What Xiuyi is about to face is the terrifying sixth-level space magician Ablit. Such an opponent is much stronger than Hines.

After the dark magic pattern was completed at this moment, Xiu Yi could clearly feel the fluctuation of soul energy coming from his chest.

He closed his eyes, only feeling that his mind was clear, surrounded by countless dots, like balls of flames emitting white light.

These white light clusters continuously extend out one after another, intertwined with each other, connected to each other, and at the same time connected to themselves...

"Huo," Xiu Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

He immediately realized that those light clusters were actually the soul energy emanating from all the lives in the vicinity. Among them, the most powerful soul energy was Blazing Bird and Xu. The soul energy of Blazing Bird was like a blazing flame, while Xu's soul energy was like a black hole that could swallow light...

As for the soul energy of ordinary birds, ants and beasts, it is much dimmer, and some are almost undetectable.

I didn't expect that after engraving the dark magic pattern, I could clearly observe the soul fluctuations of other beings. The feeling at this moment is really novel and wonderful.

This is the characteristic of soul magic.

Soul spells specifically target the human soul. Therefore, mages who practice soul spells are also the most sensitive to the soul energy of the surrounding life. When soul spells are practiced to an advanced level, they can release a spiritual storm, which is to use energy shocks to attack these already observable soul energies, or directly control the souls of others, making them permanent servants of themselves.

The latter is especially terrifying, which is also an important reason why soul spells are listed as forbidden.

The reason why Xiuyi can see the soul energy of the surrounding life at this moment is actually from the spiritual exploration of elementary magic.

The four basic abilities of primary soul spells, weakening the will, strengthening the will, probing the spirit, and concentrating the spirit, are all studies of human will and spirit, but some spells are not talented enough to be used at all.

So it wasn't until this moment that Xiu Yi mastered this spell.

The next moment, he faintly felt that the magic power in his body began to increase. Thanks to the blessing of the dark magic pattern, he finally upgraded.

Thinking that her first spell system to break through to the second level was still soul spells, Xiu Yi couldn't help but smile wryly, it seemed that she was the one to be hunted down.

The fugitive servant of Purgatory Island, the soul mage who practiced forbidden arts, well, I don't know if there will be more crimes worthy of being hunted down in the future.

However, the completion of the engraving of the dark magic pattern is not over yet.

For Xiu Yi, he still has a more important magic pattern to engrave.

Energy transfer magic pattern.

This magic pattern was a formula that Hines accidentally discovered back then, and it was also the formula that Hines thought was the most useless, because its only advantage was that it could absorb the enemy's attack and transform it into its own ability.

But this kind of magic pattern can't weaken the damage, and second, it can't be used frequently. After using it once, the magic pattern will disappear automatically, and it can't absorb the same kind of attack even if it is engraved again in the future.

For an attack that is too weak, the power that the magic pattern can absorb is really limited. It is not worth spending so many materials to make it, and it is not worth making the engraver suffer the great pain. If you want to absorb powerful attack energy, you must take the risk of being killed by the opponent.

Looking at the potion that had been prepared earlier, Xiu Yi smiled wryly and said to herself: "Anyone who dares to use this thing can usually only be described in one word, that is... courting death,"

As he spoke, he stabbed the needle hard into his right arm.

boom.

Great pain swept over again, completely submerging him in darkness.

,,,,,,.

Last night, my best friend had a birthday, and I had to go, and I knew that I would basically have to be knocked down before I could come back, so I got vaccinated first.

Foresight ah,,.

Sorry for the lateness,
