From Prisoner to Si Chen

"Indeed...it's amazing."

Ji Lan sighed softly.

He originally thought that Flamel was just an ordinary noble girl. Although she was slightly talented, her future achievements would be limited.

Unexpectedly, Flamel not only became a legendary alchemist, but also eventually became one of the transmuters under the command of "Mrs. Silver Vase".

She... Since He has ascended and transcended the sixth level of the earthly limit, his lifespan must be long. Maybe he has not died yet and has lived to this day.

"The background of "The Silver Vase" is in 1139, nearly 800 years ago."

Parra seemed to see what Gilan was thinking and sighed.

"The 6th-level 'Power' level long-lived person only has a natural lifespan of 300 years, but once he ascends, his lifespan will undergo a qualitative change. The 7th-level 'Compassion' level transmutation person has a lifespan of a full 1,000 years!"

"Ms. Flamel Nicola is still alive in the world and is a living legend... It's just that hundreds of years have passed since He ascended, but no rumors or stories about Him have been heard again."

"That's it." Gillan took a deep breath.

He suddenly thought of something again and asked Parra:

"Teacher, since you know the story of "The Silver Vase", have you also watched this film?"

"Of course." Parra nodded with a smile. "I have always wanted to discuss knowledge with the great alchemists in history, and "The Silver Vase" fulfilled my wish."

"I have watched this real film many times, and discussed many ideas and knowledge about alchemy with Mrs. McCullough. I have also communicated with Mr. Hermes and even Mr. Boral. ”

Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.

When the teacher said this, he understood.

Although Paracelsus was born later than the three of them and did not belong to the same era, he was also the top alchemist of his era... No, that is not accurate.

He may still be regarded as one of the greatest alchemists in the world.

Therefore, in the film, Teacher Parra mostly does not come into contact with those three as an apprentice, but communicates on an equal basis as friends.

Gillan found it interesting just thinking about it.

Legendary alchemists from different eras communicated across eras through a film...

"I am very grateful to Mrs. McCarrah, because the 'decomposition and reconstruction technique' that I am best at was influenced by her, and I have been able to study it step by step to where it is today."

Paradao.

He gave a confident smile.

“It’s a bit arrogant to say this, but I think that few people in this era or even in the past can surpass me in this regard.”

Gillan nodded.

He did not doubt the teacher's words.

Recalling that the few times Parra took action, he released an extremely fast scarlet lightning, instantly disintegrating the target, turning it into dust material, and then gathering it in the palm of his hand to reconstruct it into an inanimate "micro-model toy" ".

With his current level of alchemy, Jilan couldn't figure out how to do this.

"I have many unique understandings of the 'decomposition and reconstruction technique', which I will also teach you."

Parra laughed.

Jilan looked calm and said seriously:

"I will study hard, teacher."

"Yeah." Parra nodded.

Taking this opportunity, Gilan took out a piece of parchment, stacked another small notebook with it, and handed it to Parra.

"Teacher, this is an alchemy formula that I previously traded with 'Baron Opal'. It is called 'Lava Balm' and has the effect of assisting cultivation."

"Let me take a look." Parra took the parchment and glanced at it a few times. "The effect of lava balm on Kusei is okay. It's good that you can get this formula instead."

Then, when he picked up the small book and flipped through it, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Parra raised her eyes, glanced at Gilan in surprise, and asked:

"Do you plan to improve this formula?"

"Yes, teacher." Gillan nodded and admitted, and explained: "The effect of the lava balm is not good enough for me, so I plan to try to make some improvements."

"Although you are compatible with spirituality, I remember that one of your attributes is fire. Why do you say it is not effective enough for you?"

Parra frowned slightly.

"This formula is already perfect, and it is difficult to improve it by making unauthorized changes. Even if you replace a few of the materials, it will only make the medicine slightly more effective, but it will cost several times the cost, which is not cost-effective."

Ji Lan thought for a while and confessed to the teacher:

"My compatible spirituality... exceeds the limits of lava balm."

"Huh?!" Parra's brows frowned deeper.

The white-haired old gentleman fell into silence and carefully examined the blond young man. After a long while, he slowly spoke:

"How many Chinese Zodiac signs are you compatible with?"

"Everything." Gilan took a deep breath and said.

"All..." Parra's pupils shrank. "Are you compatible with all four elements of the universe?!"

"Yes, teacher."

"This...this really surprised me!"

Parra couldn't help but look surprised when she saw Gilan's expression that didn't look like he was joking.

"This can no longer be explained by high talent. Logically speaking, such perfect spirituality cannot appear in the world...except for the original Si Chen and Omer."

He said and began to ponder again.

After a while, Parra said in a deep voice:

"You have your secrets, and I won't interfere. But you must not tell others about this, otherwise it will easily cause unnecessary trouble. Do you understand?"

"I know, teacher." Jilan nodded.

"Yeah." Parra smiled happily.

Gillan will tell him this secret, which is actually an indirect expression of trust in him.

Parra was happy in her heart and would not betray this trust, so she opened the notebook, pointed to the several paragraphs on it, and said:

"These ideas of yours can be realized in theory, but they are limited to theory. There are several key techniques and materials that cannot actually achieve the effect you want."

"Teacher, what do you mean, the formula of 'Lava Balm' can no longer be improved?"

Gillan said disappointedly.

But Parra laughed twice, shook his head and said:

"No. It is indeed difficult to improve on the original basis, but if it is expanded into an alchemy that is compatible with the four cosmic elements, it can actually be done."

"The lava balm is different from the wick potion. The former not only allows people to attract the elements of the universe on a large scale, but also purifies them so that they can be absorbed by the spirituality of the long-lived without destroying their unity."

Parra elaborated to Gillan.

"With the addition of this function, the difficulty of refining the alchemy medicine will be increased by several levels. This is also its value."

"Expanding the compatibility of elements is much simpler than improving on the original basis. You only need to replace two of the materials and change the techniques in the refining process, and there is a high probability that it will be successful."

"Teacher, what two materials are there?" Jilan asked humbly.

"'Frost Bug' and 'Rock Honey'." Parra explained patiently. "The purpose of these two materials is to neutralize the repulsion between the fire element and the earth element, making it easier to absorb the medicinal effects."

"After removing these two materials, and then adding the 'Mushroom' and 'Kraken's Egg' that have been specially processed, it will be more compatible with the elements of wind and water, and ultimately achieve the effect you want."

The two materials Parra mentioned were known to Gillan in "The Silver Bottle" when he was an apprentice studying occultism with Mrs. McCalla.

Their place of origin does not exist in the earthly world, but in the land of gods deep in the Dream Sea.

"Teacher, can these two materials be purchased in 'Midnight Rose'?"

Gillan asked.

But Parra shook her head.

"You can only encounter them occasionally. After all, these two materials are not widely applicable and are time-sensitive, so the members of 'Ye Mei' will not hoard them."

"I suggest you go to the Land of Gods in person to find and collect them. This is much more efficient than waiting."

"Just in time, you can also take this opportunity to try to leave 'footprints' in the depths of the 'lower level' to prepare for advancement to level 5 in advance."

"'Footprints'...?" Jilan was puzzled.

Parra nodded.

He explained to the students:

"In the 'Path of the Fire Sword', promotion from level 4 to level 5 requires meeting three conditions."

"First, spirituality is improved again until it adapts to the original essence. Second, touching the fifth-level essence of one's own path, which can be accelerated through secret transmission. Third, it is to leave 'footprints' in the land of gods. Deepen the connection between ‘Shenxiang Brand’ and yourself.”

"The third point is particularly important. Generally speaking, the specific place where the 'footprints' are left is deep in the 'lower' area and needs to be chosen according to one's own spirituality."

Parra looked at the blond young man and said seriously:

"For most people, they only need to leave one 'footprint', but you are different. You need four 'footprints' because you are compatible with four cosmic elements... Only in this way will your promotion be It will be smoother and there will be no hidden dangers. ”

"This is also the reason why I told you not to wantonly slaughter the residents of Shenxiang... That would not only attract the pursuit of 'patrollers', but also greatly increase the difficulty of leaving behind 'footprints'."

"That's it." Ji Lan said with a look of understanding. "So, teacher, how should I leave my 'footprints'?"

"After you set foot in the Land of Gods and activate your own spirituality, you will feel the call of the Land of Gods to you. Follow the guidance to find a specific area."

Parra said.

"Generally speaking, the cosmic elements corresponding to this specific area are very rich, but it is quite dangerous, and it can also be regarded as a test. You only need to stay there for a certain period of time, and your 'footprints' will leave on their own, thus deepening the 'The Brand of God'.

"I understand, teacher." Gilan nodded.

"If there's nothing important, just sleep here."

Parra said, raising her hand and pointing to the single sofa by the window in the office.

"When in danger, I can still take care of you."

"Okay." Jilan did not refuse.

He stood up from the chair, sat on the single sofa by the window, found a comfortable position, lay back and closed his eyes.

Soon, he controlled his consciousness to sink.

It takes just one breath to fall asleep.

In the dark.

Gilan descended on the island of the soul.

Before he even opened his eyes, he heard the subtle sound of the waves, and the sea breeze blew in his face, which was quite refreshing.

Gilan opened her eyes and walked to the beach, raised her hand and called out the "spiritual boat". The ship's entire body exuded bright lights and looked extremely stable.

With his long-lasting spiritual strength, it is no longer possible for this ship to become dim and on the verge of collapse like the 2nd and 3rd level ships after sailing for a period of time.

Bang.

Gillan jumped onto the boat.

Then he urged it to gradually sail away from the shore.

With the "God's Homeland Mark" on his body, he has a mysterious connection with the God's Homeland. Based on this connection, Gillan can accurately know the exact location of the God's Homeland, without having to search for it in the vast ocean through trial and error and correction.

After sailing like this for a long time.

Gillan gradually approached the God's Homeland and entered the surrounding waters. The huge octopus sea monster began to emerge from afar, with large and small eyeballs all over its body, staring at him with ill intentions.

'The name of this sea monster is "Kraken". '

He looked at the sea monsters calmly and thought to himself.

'And one of the materials needed for the improved formula, "Kraken Eggs", is actually the eyeballs that grow on their bodies... When these eyeballs grow to a certain extent, they will separate from the body and form another small individual, and then become another "Kraken" sea monster again. '

Gillan recalled the mystical knowledge he learned from Mrs. McCara and thought about countermeasures.

During the half year of his apprenticeship, he worked very hard and filled in all the gaps in his knowledge of the mysterious field.

This made it easier for him to deal with things when he encountered them again.

‘In fact, each tentacle of this sea monster has a brain and a heart hidden inside, so it can be regarded as a separate individual. ’

Jilan's body began to swell and grow taller, his hair dyed red and grew, and he shook his hand and took out the Laughing Staff.

‘No need to hunt it completely, just cut off the tentacles, this will be much easier...’

Bang! !

He suddenly jumped up, flew low, and headed towards the giant octopus close to the sea surface.

The individual strength of this Kraken sea monster exceeds that of an ordinary 4th-level mystic, and there are many of them, five or six.

As the opponent's advantageous home field at sea, Gilan did not intend to confront it head-on, so he stared at a sea monster on the right and regarded it as a target.

Originally, because of the "Mark of the Divine Homeland", these Kraken sea monsters would not actively attack Jilan, but as he gradually approached, these sea monsters became restless.

Crash!!

Finally, the sea monster on the far right could not help it, raised seven or eight thick tentacles from under the sea, raised the waves, and whipped Jilan.

A whistling sound was heard, crushing the air.

Jilan controlled his body, flashed horizontally at low altitude, and nimbly shuttled through the gaps between the tentacles.

At the same time, his arm muscles bulged and he swung the sword.

The mystery of the "Gerald Bloodletting Sword" was fully demonstrated in his hands. The sword body was ignited by the "green gunpowder" hidden inside the hilt, and the high-temperature green light that distorted the air was lit. Following the mysterious trajectory, a dark green six-pointed star sword wind was left.

Swish, swish, swish——

Boom!!!

Green sparks burst like bright fireworks, and the sound of tearing was endless.

Jilan passed by a blurry afterimage, and the thick tentacles surrounding him were immediately cut into dozens of pieces.

His figure circled a graceful arc and returned, putting all the broken tentacles into the dimensional space.

Then, amid the angry roar of the sea monster, he quickly retreated to the boat. The other sea monsters raised their tentacles and whipped, but they were a step too late and were slipped away by Jilan.

Boom!

The sea surface was turbulent, and the tentacles of the sea monsters danced wildly and whipped, stirring up layers of waves.

Jilan had achieved his goal and urged the spiritual boat to quickly sail to the shore.

A series of actions flowed smoothly, as if they had been rehearsed countless times in his mind.

Chic and calm.

‘Got it…’
