Chapter 528: Turning Stone Into Gold

"Have you already...refined the Philosopher's Stone?" Aqil asked tremblingly.

There was silence in the hall for a moment - this is probably the answer that everyone wants to know.

The Philosopher's Stone is the pinnacle of the rumored alchemy. It has the ability to transform all things, and it is also the reason why alchemy is called the academic science of the sage. When used as a medium, it can turn ordinary iron and lead into precious metals, allowing people to have endless wealth. This is the origin of the Midas touch.

"A stone that transforms all things... That thing is just a thing invented by ancient alchemists who wanted to be lazy," Kaimo waved his hand, "What I want to show you is the mystery of the world."

He took out a strange crystal glass tube from his pocket and displayed it generously in front of the alchemists.

Everyone craned their necks, including Leiting. The tube was about two fingers thick, with both ends sealed. The tube contained some brown-red powder, which was plain and dull. At first glance, it looked like dry soil. I don't know how it was filled in.

Then Kaimo asked someone to get a glass of clean water, and he picked up a piece of green vitriol from the table and smashed one end of the glass tube to pieces.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

Even Lei Ning felt heartbroken. The flawless and transparent color was obviously the best crystal glass, and it took a lot of effort for the craftsmen to bake it into such a well-proportioned tube shape. In the end, the other party actually just smashed the tube open. . However, this also made him realize that the fourth prince's previous claim that crystal glass had been developed in the territory was not a lie - the Royal Capital Alchemy Association would never produce such a strange container.

The water was quickly brought up, and Kaimo poured the powder in the tube into the cup. The water slowly turned yellow-green, and the powder disappeared.

"You must have lead rods here," he turned around and said, "Bring over two of the best quality ones."

"Wait a minute!" Rayleigh said, "Since it's an alchemical reaction, it doesn't matter who does it, right? I've seen some street performers who are very good at blindfolding and can change a bronze eagle into a golden dragon in full view of the public. ...I'm not doubting you, but in this situation, it's better to be cautious." He looked at the other two chiefs, "What do you think?"

"Indeed," Achiel said slowly.

Lightning hesitated for a moment. Everyone could see that Rayleigh was obviously suspicious, and it was a bit rude to compare the other party to a street performer. But at this time, he had to stand on the side of the Alchemy Association, "I also...agree." .”

I thought that the chief alchemist of Border Town would be furious, but I didn't expect that Kaimo Stryer just smiled and said, "Of course, there is no difference whether the alchemist does the last step or the apprentice does it, as I said , the essence of alchemy is simple, orderly, and consistent. Who of you will come?"

"Let me do it," Lei Ning felt his heart beating so hard that he didn't even dare to look at Kaimo, but when faced with the Midas touch, he still couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity - could this cup of yellow-green liquid , can it really turn lead into gold?

The apprentice quickly fetched the material. This was a lead rod that had been refined repeatedly. It had a bluish-white appearance and was usually placed in a wooden box lined with cotton. It was considered the best quality stock. Lei Ning picked up one and carefully put it into the cup. Then he was surprised to find a golden color on the surface of the lead rod!

He felt his hands shaking uncontrollably.

"Look! Something seems to be growing!"

"Golden...oh my god, it's golden!"

"Is that gold?"

"Maybe it's copper!"

The discussion behind Lei Ning suddenly became louder. He turned around and saw that all the alchemists and disciples had their eyes widened, staring intently at the changes in the water glasses on the long table, their voices full of shock and disbelief. Aqil looked confused, as if he had lost his direction.

He himself felt the same at this moment... Could it be that alchemy is really as Kaimo said, it has no changes in itself, it is completely simple and clear, and the chaos and disorder that he thinks is just because he has taken the wrong path?

So what is the purpose of their decades of research?

When the lead rod was taken out, filaments bloomed from the surface like coral.

"These are all...copper!" Rayleigh bit his lip and roared with his last strength, "You can't possibly know how to turn stone into gold! This is unreasonable! Otherwise, you can buy the entire Graycastle with a golden dragon. Instead of just being the chief alchemist of a small town lord!"

"I chose this path not for the golden dragon, but because I want to know the world," Kaimo's voice seemed to come from a far away place, "If you don't believe it, you can test it... I think the king's capital Chief, don’t you know how to distinguish copper from gold?”

However, the subsequent verification did not produce any reversal. The gold wires on the lead rods were cut off and put into a plate and baked on the fire. They quickly melted and gathered into a ball. This is obviously not copper - at high temperatures, copper turns into an ugly solid, and the molten metal rolling in the plate shines even brighter, like a bright golden sun.

Real gold is not afraid of fire.

This is real gold.

The hall is already buzzing with excitement!

"The alchemical formula that turns stone into gold actually exists!"

"Lord Kaimo, what do those symbols you wrote on the paper before represent? Are they formulas for a higher realm?"

"Where did you learn this?"

"Chief Sir, do you still accept disciples? I am willing to start as an apprentice!"

Keimo Stryer stretched out his hand to suppress the noisy shouting, "Listen up, everything you see today comes from an older discipline. It not only includes all possible alchemical formulas, but also reveals all things. The secret of composition! Through it, you can even predict those alchemical formulas you have never seen before, and turning stone into gold is no exception! As long as you follow me to the Western Region, I can teach you all these!"

Heading to the West? Looking at His Majesty Roland Wimbledon who was smiling at the side, Lightening froze in place... Is this the other party's real purpose? But it was too late to wake up now. The lively atmosphere was completely beyond his control. It is conceivable that if he could learn the art of turning stone into gold, who would still be willing to work for the association? I am afraid that none of the alchemists in the hall will stay here anymore. The Alchemy Association of the Royal Capital with a history of hundreds of years will collapse in one day.

In a daze, Leining saw Kaimo slowly walking towards him.

"Do you still remember that twenty-seven years ago there was an apprentice who wanted to prepare molten gold liquid?" He leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "Because two trial matches failed, you robbed his wallet. , and refused him to enter the association's door again... In fact, it was just because the acid concentration you provided was not enough."

Lighten's whole body shivered, and the memories in his mind overlapped with the figure in front of him. He opened his mouth in surprise, "You are the apprentice who was audited by me at that time——"

"That's right," Kaimo nodded, "I'm just here to get what I deserve."
