Chapter 529: Overly Luxurious Alchemy Class

As the creator and owner of the Philosopher's Stone, and as a wizard at the pinnacle of alchemy, Mr. Flamel certainly has the power to display the power of the Philosopher's Stone wherever he feels it is necessary.

To be honest, Andrew was not unprepared to face the Philosopher's Stone - if Mr. Flamel taught him alchemy, it would not be surprising to see the Philosopher's Stone.

But he never thought about it, the first class.

However, this shock did not affect him at all. He stared with wide eyes, not missing any details.

But unfortunately, he couldn't see it. Although he could feel that the nature of the iron was changing, it was not the power of rules, nor the power of transfiguration, nor the power of ritual like potions.

It did not change anything forcibly, but seemed to change naturally, as natural as the rising and setting of the sun, so that Andrew could not feel even the slightest bit of disharmony - even Dumbledore's Transfiguration could not be so natural!
The changes were still going on, but faster and faster. The iron block had been completely dyed gold, and the small bright red stone was lying quietly on top of the golden iron block, without any change.

"Excuse me, Mr. Flamel," Andrew breathed, "can I see the product?"

"Of course, Taylor."

Mr. Flamel easily pushed the product in front of Andrew, and didn't even intend to take the philosopher's stone on it.

This act of excessive trust almost stunned Andrew and he couldn't continue.

Fortunately, he had seen a lot of gold during this period of time. He carefully moved the red magic stone away and felt the gold with his hand.

"Actually, if we were outside of Hogwarts, I would really like to use a Geiger counter to see what's going on..."

But this condition is obviously not met - and if this thing really has radiation, it is a positive effect. I have never heard of anyone who can live over 800 years after being exposed to radiation. If there really is such a thing, he doesn't mind taking it at all.

He grasped the gold nugget with his left hand, which was used for casting spells, and tried to lift it.

"It's very heavy, yes, very heavy... about the same as gold, a little heavier than a gallon, the weight of normal gold... outrageous, where does the extra weight come from?"

But alchemy is just as unscientific as Transfiguration. He could only put the gold away and raise questions in doubt - for example, whether it can continue to change in a closed environment, in a vacuum environment, underwater, and other liquids or even in the environment of Transfiguration rules...

Although it sounds a bit greedy, with so many doubts in front of him, he really couldn't help but ask.

But to his surprise, Mr. Flamel did not give him an answer. Instead, he generously placed the Philosopher's Stone in front of him and asked him to conduct the experiment according to his own ideas.

To use Mr. Flamel's words.

"As long as you don't conduct destructive experiments, you can try any experimental method you can think of. I think there is nothing better than this to give you an introductory course on alchemy."

After saying this, Mr. Flamel smiled and pushed the Philosopher's Stone that Andrew had put back over to him. "Just follow your idea, Taylor. This is how Albus taught in the past."

...

This is a bit too luxurious.

But Andrew had no time to complain about this at the moment - he was already impatient to test it.

Although there was no electricity in Hogwarts, with the help of magic, it was no problem to replicate a simple experiment... He didn't even bother to greet Mr. Flamel who was watching him with a smile. While doing the experiment, he quickly recorded his feelings on the parchment.

[1. The closed environment cannot prevent the addition of the so-called elements. The overall device has increased in weight a lot compared to before the experiment. The weight increase is slightly higher than the weight of the metal change, which should be caused by the weight of the other so-called elements. ]

[2. The vacuum environment will be destroyed. Glass can block air, but it cannot block elements... Magical existence, what are elements? There is also heat and temperature... But it is not easy to test. I will consider a clever method for the next experiment...]

[3. Even underwater, the alchemical transformation is still going on, but the elemental filling is replaced by water. However, if we follow Mr. Flamel's guidance, it is not water, but ether. Yes, everything is ether...]

...

After about two hours of struggling, the strange fantasies in his mind were finally cleared up, and he also had a certain preliminary understanding of the so-called alchemical elements - although the deviation was so great that Mr. Flamel could not change it after several corrections, but at least he had established his own understanding.

But even this outrageous cognition needed to be further deepened and strengthened - this was almost the most complicated magical knowledge he had ever come into contact with.

However, the busyness of the past two classes has not been without effect.

Although he was still in the stage of trying to understand a series of terms such as alchemy, alchemical circles, alchemical balance, alchemical exchange, alchemical change, etc., he had successfully replicated an alchemical change that was somewhat useful.

By consuming a certain amount of magic power and so-called elements, he can already create air - although it is analyzed in the form of Transfiguration, it eliminates the problem that Transfiguration cannot participate in human circulation.

'Although I don't know what the unlimited bubble head spell can do, at least I learned something.'

After returning the Philosopher's Stone, Andrew comforted himself helplessly.

"It's only the first class, Taylor. You can't expect to learn too much in one class," Mr. Flamel was not in a hurry at all. "Besides, your problem is much more serious than I thought. The knowledge you have mastered has become a system. No, to be more precise, it has penetrated into your understanding of the magical world. But this is not a bad thing. Perhaps we can inject some new definitions into alchemy... It has not developed for too long."

Redefining alchemy - this is a self-aggrandizing advertisement no matter how you look at it.

But if it were Flamel, it would be a different story.

"I hope so, Mr. Flamel. My head hurts a bit now, and I'm afraid I'll have to catch up on a lot of reading..."

Andrew shook his head. He didn't have that much confidence in himself and could only make up for his shortcomings with hard work.

"No, I think we can put the reading aside... maybe the current state is better, we can do alchemical experiments step by step, and then exchange our views and theories..."

Mr. Lemay looked at Andrew. "It just takes a little longer, but it doesn't matter. What I lack the least is time. Then, the only problem we have left is..."

He spread his hands. "Are you willing to invest your time in the future of alchemy, Taylor?"

"Of course, Mr. Flamel, without a doubt."

Andrew nodded seriously in response.
