Chapter 589 Alchemy Course Suspended

"Well, it is like this, Mr. Flamel. You are saying that there is something wrong with their rituals and theories?"

Andrew was a little puzzled - he really didn't understand this aspect deeply enough.

"I don't know. Or rather, the Muggles themselves don't know either," Mr. Flamel shook his head, which was rare. "I don't know whether magic can be added to their theory to make up for the weakest link in their power. I also don't know whether they can realize the existence of magic, just as they realize the existence of something called gravity."

"Is this the same?"

Andrew's eyes widened.

"Of course, Taylor," Mr. Flamel nodded. "Before the Muggles discovered what they call the composition of air, they were still breathing. Before they discovered gravity, non-magical objects could not float high in the air. Before they discovered magic, magic still existed. Is there anything strange about that?"

Andrew wanted to say that this was wrong, but his knowledge was not enough to cover such profound issues at the moment.

"But these have nothing to do with the Philosopher's Stone, at least not yet. My personal research is not in-depth enough, so I can't give you a detailed account of the relationship between the Philosopher's Stone and Muggle technology. But it's okay, you can take your time to look for it."

Mr. Flamel shook his head. "Well, let's talk about the Philosopher's Stone in terms of alchemy."

"The Philosopher's Stone is the collection of all wishes and the medium of all transformations,"

"Just like what is said in the Jade Record, it was conceived by the wind and nurtured by the earth..."

...

Andrew stared at Mr. Flamel's presentation, not even blinking.

The most advanced alchemy in the entire magical world was being performed in front of him, and the person demonstrating it was none other than the number one alchemist.

At this moment, the abstract concepts of alchemy were closely linked to the real objects. While conducting experiments, Mr. Flamel described to Andrew the reasons for choosing those materials and their alchemical definitions.

"The Elixir of Immortality is another use of the Philosopher's Stone, but the Philosopher's Stone is not required for its production. It only promotes the catalytic power..."

...

After the content related to transformation comes the potion part that drives most wizards crazy. Mr. Flamel even personally prepared an elixir of immortality using the Philosopher's Stone.

At the end of the experiment, a product that was roughly the same as the Philosopher's Stone in Mr. Flamel's hand was produced.

"But it is not perfect, Taylor, and it is not good enough to be called the Philosopher's Stone."

"A true Philosopher's Stone must also incorporate the magic of the creator and another kind of magical power. I am not too familiar with it yet, but it is undoubtedly one of the most important parts. Perhaps it should be called wish power or something else."

"Willing power?"

Andrew was stunned - this was really weird.

"You said before that it was the only one. I don't quite agree with that, but it is indeed the only known Philosopher's Stone. Although some wizards have created it since then, they can't maintain the power of the Philosopher's Stone, let alone make it a complete Philosopher's Stone."

"The so-called willpower probably means that the wizards all think you can do it and recognize that you can do it - probably like this."

Mr. Lemay nodded and explained, "But I'm not sure, because I'm the only one who said so, and I've tested it over the years and it does work."

"But what does this have to do with the approval of other wizards?"

Andrew really didn't understand - casting spells with emotions was fine, but what was the power of will that was like casting spells with worship? Isn't the gap too big?

"So, what do you think the curse is?" Mr. Flamel looked at Andrew, not in a hurry at all.

"A magic that is composed of specialized spells and carries strong negative emotions."

Andrew expressed his understanding, "Probably like this."

"More than that, do you think names can cast spells?"

Mr. Lemay asked Andrew in return.

"Of course, Mr. Flamel."

Andrew nodded affirmatively, using his own name as a medium, and then cursed the rest of the people who dared to recite it. It was an extremely powerful curse. After all, he was a Ravenclaw student and knew something about spells.

"Then why can your name spread the curse but not the other way around? It's all about connection. And why can't the emotional power brought by recognition be used in magic?"

Even in the wizarding world, this is considered outrageous.

But since the person who said it was Mr. Flamel, Andrew didn't mind forcing himself to understand the principle of magic.

Owl magic can be linked to names, curse magic can transfer malice to positions, and reverse curses can use one's own name to perceive others - then why can't the other wizards' approval emotions be targeted to other wizards through names?
"I think I understand it, Monsieur Flamel."

Andrew nodded. Since emotions can be linked to the power of magic and the release of magic power, then there is nothing wrong with what Mr. Flamel said about the so-called willpower.

"Very good, then, since you have all accepted it, our lessons on the Philosopher's Stone can be said to be over."

Mr. Flamel smiled and nodded, "Although it seems a little short, you have already seen the initial creation of the Philosopher's Stone, and understood the subsequent cultivation of the Philosopher's Stone and the power required for cultivation. Then, the rest is simple."

He waved his wand, and the half-finished product he had created shattered into pieces.

"What you need to do now is to review and imitate the preparation of the raw materials for the Philosopher's Stone yourself. It would be even better if you can change the preparation process." Mr. Flamel stared at Andrew, as if he was just asking Andrew to capture Tang Seng and his disciples. "Then, use magic and willpower to make the embryo you made into your own Philosopher's Stone."

I make the Philosopher's Stone?
real or fake?

Andrew felt his hands and feet were a little stiff.

"It will take a long time, but you have chosen the long road anyway," Mr. Flamel looked at Andrew, ignoring the shock on his face. "It's a good thing to push the entire wizarding world forward, allowing more people to participate in the foundation, looking forward to a more perfect foundation and more geniuses, rather than relying on your own sudden inspiration. Very good, I like this very much, Taylor."

"As expected, it was seen through right away, but it doesn't matter, it's really an upright behavior."

Andrew didn't say anything. He was originally going there for this goal, so naturally there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

“So, I also decided to show you the future. The previous production seemed a little simple, but that was only for me. Fortunately, you have watched it all and remembered it. You just need to slowly explore the techniques and processes in between.”

Mr. Flamel looked at Andrew, "This is your homework, and it can also be regarded as a preparation for you to become more interested in alchemy. From today on, our alchemy class will be suspended for a period of time."

"what?"

"I have to go back and prepare a way to restore my face - the owl has been sending me a letter once a day. I will be back before the third game."

Mr. Flamel had a look of resignation.
