From Prisoner to Si Chen

Ji Lan lowered his eyes and looked at his hands carefully.

I saw a circular mark engraved on the palms of the left and right hands, with an equilateral triangle pattern inlaid in the middle, forming a basic alchemy array.

And at each vertex of the equilateral triangle, there is a circle, and the equilateral triangle is still embedded in the circle.

This cycle repeats four times.

The dense lines and symbols fill it, making people dizzy and dizzy at first glance.

Just now when Parra started to engrave, Jilan did not feel any pain, but at this time, there was a faint warmth and tingling in the palms of his hands.

"The left hand is used for decomposition and the right hand is used for reconstruction?"

Ji Lan observed the lines of the "Secret Marks of the Sage" on his palm and murmured.

But soon, his eyes narrowed.

Jilan raised his head suddenly and glanced at teacher Parra in surprise.

"No...that doesn't seem to be the case."

"Did you see it?" the white-haired old man said with a smile. "Actually, the 'Secret Marks of the Sage' on the left and right hands are all decomposed, independent but can be superimposed to achieve a strong decomposition effect... If you put your hands together, they can be combined into a reconstructed array."

"That's true." Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.

His "Secret Pattern of the Sage" is obviously different from his teacher's. Paracelsus's decomposition array and reconstruction array are not separated separately, but are integrated into one, so that the casting time is shorter and the power is greater.

"Come on, give it a try." Parra said, taking out a tube of thick black reagent from the drawer. "This is an 'Alchemy Catalyst'. It contains limited energy, far inferior to the 'Philosopher's Stone', but it is enough to support you in performing alchemy several times."

Ji Lan silently took the teacher's reagent.

Then he poured it on his hands.

Pattering.

The two marks on the palm suddenly bloomed with silver light, and in a few breaths, all the thick black liquid was absorbed.

Gilan held the empty glass bottle in his left hand and took a deep breath.

"Refining!" He shouted softly.

Crack!

A bright silver arc of electricity burst out from his left hand, constantly jumping and sizzling.

Immediately, the glass bottle in his hand disintegrated instantly and turned into a puddle of ash-like dust material, which accumulated on his palm.

"Everything in the world exists within the law of truth. The 'Secret Pattern of the Sage' condenses all my understanding of alchemy in my life."

Parra said solemnly.

"This is an act of leveraging the truth with a mortal body. Understanding all things, decomposing all things, and reconstructing all things, just like a god."

Ji Lan listened quietly to the teacher's words.

His eyes were fixed on the powder in his palm.

Immediately, he slowly brought his right hand up and closed his hands.

A lot of alchemical knowledge flashed through Gillan's mind, and he concentrated on recalling the structure and composition of a creature.

At the same time, he said in a deep voice:

"Construction!"

Crack! !

Silver-white arcs of electricity leaped between his hands.

Pu Pu Pu Pu——

I saw dozens of blue butterflies flying out of Jilan's hands!

Then, under the watchful eyes of the master and apprentice, it flew around the office, and finally flew out of the open window.

"Succeeded..." Gillan smiled.

He stood up from his chair, solemnly took off his hat and bowed slightly to the white-haired old man.

"Thank you, teacher."

"No need to see anyone outside." Parra waved her hand.

He looked at the young man in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said:

"It's truly remarkable to be able to successfully master the 'Secret Marks of the Sage' in such a short period of time... and this can be regarded as fulfilling most of my wishes."

"Jilan, everything in the world follows the principle of 'equivalent exchange', so every time you use the 'Secret Pattern of the Sage', you need to consume corresponding energy..."

"Although ordinary 'alchemy catalysts' can charge it, even the top catalysts cannot withstand several consumptions. This is fine in normal times, but once it is in combat, it is quite deadly. ”

Ji Lan nodded, understanding what the teacher meant.

So he took advantage of the situation and said:

"So, only the 'Philosopher's Stone' can do this."

"Not bad." Parra nodded and confirmed. "The energy contained in the 'Philosopher's Stone' is thousands of times that of the top catalytic drugs. Just one stone can last you a long time."

“And that’s not all the beauty of it.”

"Go to the Land of Gods again and find the entrance to the 'Corridor'. There are many devils wandering in that area... hunt and capture enough devil lords or nobles, bring them back, and I will personally teach you how to refine them." Philosopher's Stone'.

Parra said.

"By the way, you should also make up for the remaining three 'footprints' and prepare in advance for advancement to level 5."

Ding!

At this time, Ji Lan suddenly heard a crisp sound in his ears.

The dazzling seven-colored light formed several lines of crooked writing in front of him, and even Teacher Parra never noticed:

"Trigger mission: Demon Hunt."

"Teacher Para Celsus suggests that you should refine the 'Philosopher's Stone' as the energy source of the 'Secret Pattern of the Sage', and this requires high-level devils as the main material."

"Please follow Pala's prompts and go to Toyalan, the Hometown of Gods, to find the entrance to the 'Corridor' and capture enough high-level devils to return."

"Time limit: 168 hours."

"Reward: Moderate improvement in gnosis, spirituality, and physical body (choose one from three)."

"Mission not accepted."

Only then did Jilan realize that it was his "player" essence that passively triggered the "Golden Sigh" ability.

He did not hesitate and said directly in his heart:

'accept. ’

Ding!

With another crisp sound, the colored text disappeared.

"I understand, teacher."

Ji Lan nodded towards the old man and said.

Parra hummed and said with a smile:

"Go back and rest first. I have been too busy during this period, and my body and mind are tense... Even if you and I are both long-term people, only the combination of work and rest can last long."

"Thank you teacher for your concern, I will do it."

Ji Lan saluted again, and then turned and left under the old man's gaze.

…

…

After returning to the apartment at No. 9 Morales Street, Guillen went to the alchemy room in the attic alone and locked the door.

He stood in front of the huge workbench, lit the lamp, and looked at the miscellaneous items on the table quietly.

After thinking about it, Gilan picked up a tin pot and played with it for a moment. Then, he activated the power of the "Secret Pattern of the Sage".

Crack!

The silver arc jumped, and the tin pot instantly turned into powder. Ji Lan then put his hands together and reconstructed the powder into a seed.

The seeds sprouted and grew in the palm of his hand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and turned into a bright scarlet rose.

Ji Lan looked at the flowers in her hands, smelling the rich sweet fragrance, and couldn't help but sigh. This was not a trick, but an actual decomposition and reconstruction of an unrelated thing into another thing.

At this time, he also discovered that the marks on the palms of his hands were slightly dim, probably because the energy of the "catalytic medicine" he had absorbed before had been consumed a lot.

Gillan was lost in thought.

'Since what is needed is energy, can the mysterious points stored in "Banlan" serve as the energy source for the "Secret Pattern of the Sage"...'

He thought for a while and decided to use up the energy in the secret pattern first before trying again.

So, Gillan continued to use alchemy.

Crack!

As the silver electric light suddenly appeared, the rose in his hand instantly withered and turned into powder. It was closed by his hands and reconstructed into a pink coral-like substance.

This is a mysterious material called "Yingshan", which is an indispensable main material for refining "wick potion".

However, after Ji Lan looked at it for a moment, he looked disappointed.

'It's just superficial, the appearance is the same, it's not the real "Yingshan". It seems that ordinary matter cannot be decomposed and reconstructed into mysterious materials... That's right, this does not comply with the principle of "equivalent exchange". ’

He tried several more times with the same result. The refined materials all have the same appearance, but do not contain mysterious substances.

And Jilan's "Secret Pattern of the Sage" also happened to run out of energy and could no longer perform alchemy.

'gorgeous! ’

Ji Lan called out in his heart.

Then, he tentatively grasped the newly made black jade stone in his hand——

Crack! !

Dazzling bright silver arcs burst out from its fingertips!

The black stone in the palm of his hand instantly decomposed in the silver arc.

"Huh?" Jilan's eyes lit up. "feasible!"

He clasped his hands together.

There was a snap.

A pink coral appeared again, but this time, it was the real "Yingshan"!

"Mysterious points can not only be used as the energy source of the 'Secret Pattern of the Sage', but they can also be used to refine ordinary items into mysterious materials?!"

Gillan was quite surprised.

He quickly turned his attention to the colorful numbers in the corner of his sight. The "112" points of energy that were left were now only "62".

It cost 50 points of energy to make "Yingshan".

‘This kind of consumption is quite reasonable. ’

Gilan nodded, the smile on his face getting wider.

This new discovery made him quite happy.

Because this means that the "Secret Pattern of the Sage" will have more possibilities with the help of "Beautiful".

‘As long as I have enough mysterious points, I can refine mysterious materials... Maybe most of the mysterious things involved can be refined! ’

Gillan thought.

…

…

night.

Lucid dreaming, the spiritual kingdom of Rodran.

Gilan summoned all the members of the "Hand of Dawn" to gather in the open-air stone hall.

Four people, the blue stork, the black snipe, the white gull and the red bird, arrived here one after another and took their seats on the top of the stone pillars pointed at their respective fingers.

As soon as they entered, they actually discovered the changes here. Because it's so obvious that it's hard not to notice.

First of all, the area of ​​the open-air stone palace has been further expanded compared to before, with a diameter of almost one mile.

Such a huge stone palace is equivalent to four or five football fields, giving people a sense of spaciousness and solemnity. The cross-sword bonfire in the center miraculously illuminates the entire stone palace.

Even the dim night and the black sea beyond can't suppress the fire here.

In addition, what is particularly eye-catching is that on the thumb stone pillar, on the side of the throne figure, there is a huge white sheep.

It is covered in armor, has horns on its head, and has flaming legs on its four feet. The corners of his rotten mouth were cracked, as if he was still smiling.

The pair of black and white horizontal pupils were filled with a violent and fierce light, which made the four of them feel uncomfortable.

Aurora, the red sparrow, was the first to look away, as if she didn't want to look at the ram anymore.

"Mr. Gillan, thank you."

She looked at the purple-eyed young man and said softly.

"With your gift of power again, I have successfully promoted to the third level of 'Glow', and the required accumulation has been completed ahead of schedule... Next, I only need to visit the Land of God once and touch the fourth level of essence before I can climb The ultimate stage.”

"Our situation is similar."

Cang Stork and the others nodded and laughed in agreement.

Gillan waved his hand.

“That’s why we’re calling everyone together this time.”

He said, pointing in the direction of the Black Sea outside the stone palace.

"I'm going to the Land of Gods, and I can take you along."

"Um?"

The four Cang Storks were startled at first, and then looked at each other with expressions of joy.

Red Bird Aurora said with a smile:

"That's great, Mr. Gillan!"

"Actually, during this period of time, I tried to set sail from here and search for traces of the Land of God on the vast sea... But even with the 'emotional anchoring method' taught by you, Jilan, I still failed repeatedly."

Bai Ou shook his head and said.

The Blue Stork and the Black Sandpiper agreed with Alivia's words and nodded.

"In that case, let's set off."

Gillan laughed.

The four of them happily agreed, and each leapt down from the stone pillar seats, followed by Jilan and left the stone hall through the stone path.

When they got to the beach, Gilan gently snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

A small wooden boat appeared out of thin air and landed on the sea with a splash, splashing black water.

This small boat exudes bright and dazzling four-color light, giving people a sense of luxury and stability.

"Come up."

Ji Lan said something to his companions beside him, took a step by himself, and landed lightly on the boat.

The other four people were not restrained and boarded the boat one after another.

Soon, the boat moved automatically without oars, slowly cut through the sea, sailed away from the shore of the Soul Island, and headed towards the endless dark horizon...

en route.

Several people from the community were sitting on the boat chatting.

"By the way, have your respective Level 4 secrets been prepared in advance?"

Gillan asked.

Originally, he didn't have much hope, but to his surprise, the four Cang Storks all nodded.

"Perhaps because of my rapid progress, the top management of the secret society had great expectations for me, so they handed over the fourth-level secret transmission to me."

said the stork.

The situation of the other three is similar.

"Is that so..." Ji Lan was startled, then smiled and said, "It's not a bad thing anyway."

"Just in time, I have a request. I hope everyone can share their level 4 secrets with me. In exchange, I will give you a level 5 'monster' secret."

"Although you can't use it, you can use it as a knowledge commodity and find opportunities to trade it with others."

How could anyone refuse Jilan's request.

Even if he didn't propose an exchange, the four Cang Storks were willing to share the secrets in their hands with him unconditionally.

As a result, everyone shared their secrets with each other on the boat.

As a result, Gillan successively mastered the secret knowledge of "Match", "Patient", "Mumbling" and "Flag Bearer".

He directly "fed" these four secrets to "Meili" to help him deduce.

This time, the originally required 3,000 points of mysterious energy were discounted again, reduced to 2,000!

'very good……'

Gillan had a smile in her eyes.

‘This way, the pressure of collecting mysterious points is reduced. ’
