People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 414 Timaus: Alchemy is so difficult, I don’t know how long it will take for a newbie to get started
The next day, Musk Reef.

The sandy island at the end of the ocean gradually wakes up in the soft morning sunlight.

Some of the hill people who were relocated here climbed out of their tents and grilled their caught fish on the fire lit by the wizard.

"Crack-"

The flames licked, the wood from the secret place exploded in the flames,

The skin and belly of the fish slowly shrank, and an alluring aroma unique to meat and fat spread across the island.

"."

Walking along the small beach island, one of the countless settlements, it was hard for Sora to say that he had no feelings about the scene before him.

It has been quite some time since he was captured, but compared to the hundreds of years he had been hiding, this short period of time should be insignificant.

But during this period of time when nothing should have changed, the Abyss Cult can be said to have completely deviated from its original purpose.

"."

Slowly moving forward, the sound of the Qiuqiu people talking to each other lingered in my ears.

He waved his hand to refuse the food handed over by his subordinates. Kong looked at the sea surface which was gradually dyed golden by the sunlight, and planned to go down to see what happened to Lin Feng.

——Since he could not gain control of the secret realm below, although the shallow layer was indeed suitable for the Qiuqiu people to live in, he did not dare to move rashly.
The area below the tenth floor was explored for the first time yesterday.
Although the environment there is indeed close to the outside abyss and is a good place to practice, it is difficult for Kong to have too much expectation for what results can be achieved in just one night:

——After all, there are many beings in Teyvat who are born at the top of the world.
The improvement in strength can be explained as character and talent, a gap that cannot be bridged no matter how hard one tries.

He had already come to terms with this and gave up comparing himself with that person.

However, no matter how powerful an existence is, when it comes to knowledge-based things, it still has to follow some basic rules.
Things that require long-term learning and accumulation of experience. No matter how talented you are, there is still a limit to what you can do in one day.

"."

All the way down, from bright sunshine to dim light, the changes in each layer undoubtedly indicate that the area below is not good.
The power of the abyss becomes stronger and stronger, and the size of the cave gradually shrinks.

The tenth floor,
Passing by the purple monsters created by the power of the abyss with a little caution,
Kong was somewhat surprised to find that they were indeed much calmer than before, and he was not even attacked when he tried to touch them.

Looking around, I inexplicably sensed a sense of order from this group of abyss creatures.

Sora shook his head, finding his own thoughts somewhat ridiculous:

——They are just a group of monsters with simple instincts. Their behavior doesn't mean anything.
Keeping the creatures of the abyss in order is something that goes against common sense, and probably only the person below can do it.

"Boom——"

Different from the calm and stable tenth floor,

As soon as he entered the eleventh floor, a loud explosion quickly hit Kong's ears.

???

Looking for the source of the sound with a puzzled look,

Looking at the secret space that has been somewhat "unrecognizable",

Even though Kong had some expectations about Lin Feng's ability to make things happen, he never thought that he could make such a big change in just one night.

".Hmm? Phaseless Wind? No, it seems to be Phaseless Rock?"

".That's not right, the formless thunder grass? What on earth is this thing?!"

He looked at the strange thing in front of him that seemed to be pieced together with a puzzled look.
It can be roughly recognized that the prototype of this thing is the formless element. While Kong is curious about why this guy looks like he is missing a piece of his body, he also looks for Lin Feng's location in this space:
——No need to think, as the only outsider in this level, it would be right to go to him if there is any problem.

".Ahem, I'm here.
Sorry, research looks like a slight failure."

!!!

Without any warning, a voice quietly appeared behind Kong, and at the same time a hand was placed on his shoulder.
He paused, and even his body became a little stiff.

Even though Kong knew who was taking the photo of him, he couldn't help but quietly move to the side a few times.

".So, you not only completed the basics of alchemy and mastered the basics of body reconstruction overnight,

In addition, he even had extra energy to study the life reorganization in alchemy, and the result is this magic cube?"

Feeling like he heard something extremely outrageous, Sora blinked, totally unable to understand how this was done.

"It's not that exaggerated. The basics are just the basics after all."

"Power is a universal thing, and my authority gives me almost omnipotent control over the field of life forms.

If I switch to a completely unfamiliar knowledge system, my progress will naturally be much slower.”

I don't think it's anything special that I learned a course that would take ordinary people dozens or hundreds of years overnight.

Not to mention that if both parties trust each other enough, this kind of knowledge can be transmitted instantly through consciousness. He basically spends most of his time on practice.
In terms of the final results alone, this thing can indeed be regarded as insignificant in the entire alchemy system.

".But if you want to ask me how I can accomplish so much in such a short time,
Considering that we still have some time, it would be okay for you to come in and experience it for a bit.”

Thinking that this little yellow-haired boy didn't know his normal learning method,

Lin Feng thought for a moment and decided to take him to another place to chat.

In the consciousness space, a nearly perfect replica of Albedo's laboratory.

Before leaving yesterday, I specifically scanned the experimental equipment over there, and then immediately made a one-to-one copy in this practice field.

With the help of the void network that has now even been laid out to Liyue, Lin Feng's understanding and digestion of knowledge is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Pausing for a moment, giving Sora some time to comprehend the situation,

When the Abyss Prince, who had been hiding in the dark corner, finally realized the difference between what he and Lin Feng were talking about,
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have neglected the development of the outside world, especially Xumi:

——An information network that connects the entire country and all its citizens seems to play a much greater role than ordinary people imagine, and even vaguely has a difference from the technology of other countries, as if it has leaped across generations.
Although we are still in the early stages of development of this system,
But if this continues, the subsequent development speed of this country will be like the learning speed of the people in front of him, and it will be far ahead of other countries with an extremely terrifying difference.
"How is it? Not weird anymore, right?
In fact, my study time and study conditions are much better than you think.
Under this premise, my learning state is already quite relaxed.
After all, I have experienced enough high-intensity knowledge absorption in the past period of time."

It was unclear what this little yellow-haired man in the abyss was thinking. Lin Feng just brought this guy in to experience it.
The ability to accelerate thinking has become very mature. Whether it is studying or chatting, the efficiency in the consciousness space is much higher than that in the outside world.

“This is truly unimaginable.”

Sora shook his head, feeling somewhat emotional:

"——Consciousness acceleration, collective network.
With such means, not only the absorption of knowledge, but even the process of practice can be simplified thousands of times.
Simply imparting knowledge is not difficult, but if you want to achieve such a perfect learning effect, perhaps only you can do it. "After a slight pause, he continued:
".So, since the ones next to us are the experimental subjects for practice, what is the one outside?"

Recalling the seven-colored monster he had just seen, Kong always felt that the style of that thing was very subtle.

"Well, in short, it was probably a small experiment I did in my spare time. The technique I used was the life reconstruction and splicing in alchemy."

"I gave birth to some incomplete formless elements and pieced their shells together.
I originally wanted to try to see if I could achieve full elemental immunity, but in the end I got stuck at the last step because the construction of the eighth block failed."

"Construction failed?" Sora was somewhat confused.

"Yes."

Lin Feng nodded:

"——For the eighth block and the core inside, I originally wanted to bring the seven elements together to recreate their original appearance.
But perhaps a living being cannot accommodate so many different elements, so no matter how hard we try, we can’t put them together.”

I don’t know if it’s because my alchemy skills are not good enough, or if there is indeed something wrong with the existence of this thing, but there are always some strange problems.

null:"."

Seven-in-one formless element? This doesn't sound very reasonable, right?
It should be considered lucky to be able to piece it together to this point.

".Sure enough, it seems that I can't do this kind of thing for the time being.

I originally wanted to try the seven-color slime and seven-color frozen tree, but it seems that it will not be easy to succeed either."

Although they look very special, because they are not the direct product of authority, the expected strength of these things is not too high. They are just some small toys designed for training, and their characteristics are more interesting.

???

After discovering that there was more than one such bizarre idea, Kong was silent for a moment, feeling that he was somewhat unable to understand this person's interests.

"Forget it, it's almost time, let's go first."

"As for this guy, since pure alchemical methods can't deal with him, I can only use the method I am most familiar with."

Breaking away from the space of consciousness, looking at the formless seven elements on the verge of disintegration,
Lin Feng felt that he had been busy for a long time, and in the current situation, he could use his elemental authority.

"."

A thought in my mind,
In the eleventh floor, the elemental laws that were not subject to any suppression gathered on their own. The seven-color elemental light gathered around the elemental cube, and in the continuous compression and strengthening, it gradually intertwined into pure white without any color.

"Click——"

After a pause, the missing eighth colorless square finally formed.
Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction and decided to throw this guy made of pure elements to the second floor.

"Okay, let's go."

Pulling up the space on one side, Lin Feng prepared to move directly.

But when he gathered his strength, he found that the little yellow-haired boy next to him seemed a little hesitant.

"Hmm? Anything else you want to ask?"

".No, I'm just a little worried whether this thing will be recorded by the earth veins."

"However, this place is already so deep, the influence of the earth veins is minimal, I am probably just worrying too much."

Without further hesitation, I turned around and prepared to leave.

Looking at that ignorant guy, whose strength was many times stronger than that of ordinary formless elements,

Sora just hoped that no one in the outside world would see this thing:

——Generally speaking, when a new species is created, its information is recorded into the earth veins, and it becomes one of the "existing" species.

As a creation composed of pure elements, this thing does not have the concept of population.

If the conditions in some places outside are suitable, it is possible that it will be generated naturally like other intangible elements.
He shook his head, thinking that this was unlikely. Teyvat was so big, no one would be so unlucky.

Kong no longer worried and turned around and left in the same decisive manner.

time flies.

On a small island at the end of the ocean, Lin Feng went through a night of research.

And in the center of Mondstadt, the sun rising into the sky slowly awakens the sleeping city.

Albedo's laboratory on the second floor of the Knights of Favonius.

Even though the sun has risen high in the sky, the lights in the light-proof laboratory are still on.

This is different from the past, because today a special "co-researcher" is about to join, and will probably appear here frequently for a period of time.

So in order to let his assistant Sucrose and Timaeus, who was considered half an apprentice, know something, Albedo called them over as well.

"."

Outside the isolation door, laboratory lobby,
Soft sunlight streamed in from the only two windows, illuminating the long wooden table where black tea and desserts were placed.

In front of the table was a girl in a short skirt with green hair, golden eyes, and a pair of crouching animal ears, and a young man with brown hair.

The meeting time is approaching. The green-haired girl, who is wearing a pair of round glasses and looks timid, is nervously holding the teacup, and it is obvious that she is not ready yet how to greet the visitor.

Compared to Sucrose, the unsociable genius alchemist,
Timaus on the side was obviously more curious:
——He heard about the identity of this "co-researcher" from his mentor. From various details, he could fully feel how much Albedo valued the visitor.

In fact, it wasn't just Sugar who was a little nervous. After hearing the identity of the visitor, he was also a little surprised:
——This is the official representative of the Order of the Holy See in Mondstadt, a big shot who directly liaises with the Acting Head of the Regiment.

Although he was also an alchemist in Mond, he had never had the opportunity to come into contact with such people before.

It is clear that the House of the Orders with two gods is one of the most influential institutions in Teyvat today, and it has a huge amount of information on various subjects.
Timaus, whose expectations were already overflowing, was also very curious about what kind of person this upcoming representative was:

——As one of the most mysterious people in Mondstadt, it is said that almost no one has ever seen him in public. Even businessmen who specifically seek cooperation with him usually do not receive a response.

In addition, there are rumors from the outside world that this person might be a follower of God, or a super-powerful person like the Winter Solstice Executives.
Due to my limited talent, my teacher said that it would take another 20 years before I could use the current teaching materials of Sandu.
I have a deep understanding of the difficulty of alchemy.

Now, with great difficulty, a newcomer has arrived who is described by Teacher Albedo as "starting from scratch", and Timaus is very curious about how long it will take for the other party to successfully complete the induction.
