Chronos chose to refine the Sorcerer's Stone on Halloween. First, the refining cycle of the Sorcerer's Stone is not very long, and the Halloween holiday can give him enough time to spend the early work.

Secondly, he also needs some materials for alchemy. Although the materials are very simple, there are some materials that Hogwarts does not have here.

As for the magic array used in alchemy, Kronos actually found a special alchemy training array in the book, which can adjust the temperature of the flame at will, similar to the gas stove in the Muggle world. In alchemy, different flame temperatures have different uses.

Regarding the refining of the Sorcerer's Stone, a legendary story is written on the first page of the book.

Long ago, sons of gods fell in love with daughters of men, their sweet union. But happiness cannot last long, because death takes everything with it. Of course God is eternal, but man must die. So the sons of God handed over the secret of endless life to their sweetheart, who is said to be the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

Whether it is the legend about the Deathly Hallows or the legend of the Sorcerer's Stone, there is an existence in it that does not belong to the wizarding world. Deathly Hallows has Grim Reaper, and Philosopher's Stone has God.

"Boom, boom, boom," a knock on the door interrupted Kronos' thinking. Filch's head poked out from behind the door.

"Professor Slughorn, here's what you asked me to fetch," he said. I saw Filch holding a basin full of mud in his arms, and the corners of his clothes and even his face were covered with mud.

"Oh, okay. Thank you, Mr. Filch." Chronos pointed to the place next to the door, signaling him to put his things there and leave.

The first step in refining the Philosopher's Stone is to perfectly blend the black substance, sulfur and mercury, and then use the energy of the sun to act on it. This is the first step of calcination.

The black matter is actually moist matter containing water. Kronos chose the silt under the Black Lake, and the energy of the sun is actually a flame with a temperature of 500 to 700 degrees Celsius.

In fact, the refining process of the Philosopher’s Stone recorded in the book is the manuscript of a certain alchemist. These black substances and the energy of the sun are all alchemy symbols exclusive to them. I really thought it was going to be baked in the sun!

Kronos fused the silt from the Black Lake with sulfur and mercury, and mixed them together according to the ratio of 6:3:1 in the book. Kronos weighed them one by one on a scale, and finally kneaded them into a ball.

The first Chronos had trouble, the mercury wouldn't mix with the silt. Kronos looked at the silver-white mercury on the ground, and suddenly recalled that when he was taking his temperature in the previous life, whenever a thermometer was broken, the teacher would throw a pile of sulfur powder on the mercury. Later in high school, Kronos knew that mercury and sulfur would form non-toxic mercury sulfide.

This time Chronos first mixed the mercury and sulfur in proportion, and waited for about ten minutes. The sulfur was completely fused with the mercury, and then Kronos mixed them in proportion to the silt.

Then it is calcined on the fire. It is clearly written in the book that the energy of the sun (500°C-700°C) is used to refine it into a black fatty thick juice. There is a bunch of small black words beside it: (It takes about 32 minutes to calcine) It is probably the alchemist's notes! Kronos finally realized how Harry felt, and it was very important to have a copy of the notes of a top student.

Kronos directly placed the crucible on the magic circle, and then put the mixed ingredients into the crucible.

After a while, there was a puff of smoke from the cauldron, and Kronos looked at the book again. The book does not record what will happen during the calcination process, so Kronos does not know if this is a normal phenomenon. All he could do now was wait patiently for thirty minutes.

Calcined, the wonderful mist of kneaders they decompose has risen to the top of the office,

At this moment, the crucible was filled with smoke, and Kronos could no longer see clearly what was going on inside the crucible. Slowly, the aerosol separated from the mixture will descend and reduce, and Kronos lowers his head to look inside the crucible. Discovery and mixture rises in glass bottles. The thick juice had slowly congealed, becoming darker and thicker, a bit like asphalt, and the perfect decay made him smell like a tomb where rot was buried, like a corpse naturally rotting and fermenting in a tomb.

"This first step should be considered complete!" Kronos looked at the dark object inside the crucible. It is estimated that Professor Snape would never have imagined that Chronos would use his cauldron to boil mud one day! Yes, this silver automatic stirring cauldron was Professor Snape's Christmas present to Chronos last year.

Kronos went to the next step. The book called this dark, viscous substance the baby of the Philosopher's Stone. And the baby of the Sorcerer's Stone must be albino.

The albinism here has a lot to say, in the fourth rule of the alchemy muscular law - the law of the four worlds:

Practitioners of alchemy believe that everything on earth is composed of four elements: fire, water, wind, and earth. The theory of the four elements originated from the ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles (490-430 BC). In addition, Empedocles also divided these four elements into Yin and Yang pairs: fire and wind are Yang, and water and earth are Yin.

In the 4th century BC, Plato added four qualities to the four elements: hot, dry, wet, and cold. That is, fire has heat and dryness, earth has dryness and coldness, water has coldness and wetness, and wind has wetness and heat.

Since these four qualities are common to both elements, it was developed that one element can be transformed into another through this quality. Alchemists also linked these four qualities and four elements with the theory of human body fluids developed at that time. At that time, people believed that people had four kinds of body fluids: black bile, mucus, blood, and yellow bile. And it is believed that only when the four body fluids reach an appropriate balance can a healthy situation be presented. They also believe that excess of any one type of humor can lead to one of four personality types: sad, lazy, happy, or angry.

In addition to the four elements, the great work of alchemy is also divided into four major stages, each characterized by a color: black, white, yellow, red. This great work reunites the original matter that has been separated into two parts, yin and yang, and requires various chemical operations on it. First, it must be completely dissolved and corrupted. This process is called purification. It is then separated and reassembled into a complex after further purification. This process makes the original matter lose its original materiality and become more spiritual until it is finally refined into the Philosopher's Stone.
