Chapter 106 (Chapter 105) Design of the Elixir Fire Ceremony
When Lin Bo purchased "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Marrow", the set included a book of alchemy theory called "Selected Talks on the Purple Smoke Furnace", which is a miscellaneous literature that specifically introduces various alchemy furnaces.

Putting aside the mysterious and wonderful talks in this book about using the universe and the human heart as furnaces, it does list the shapes, locations and functions of no less than 200 kinds of furnaces. Although they are just overviews, they also serve a good role in popularizing science.

Lin Bo now has a piece of sea gray steel of nearly one cubic meter, and there are no less than ten types of furnaces available using this material.

He planned to make a simple and universal alchemy furnace that could be used to boil herbs and wood as well as smelt gold and stone.

The design drawings of the alchemy furnace and the structural drawings of the alchemy room both require additional money to purchase. Lin Bo entrusted [Toxurus] to purchase them on his behalf, and the total cost was 78 disaster coins.

The furnace design drawing was a thick stack in my hand, bound into a book. Every part of the furnace body, the material of the workpiece and the processing size were clearly marked. From the style of drawing, it looked a bit like CAD drawing.

The structural diagram of the alchemy room was very concise, just about ten sheets of paper. Lin Bo took a quick look and found that all the construction information was clearly marked.

In addition to the alchemy furnace and alchemy room, he also needs to design the ritual formation diagram to be arranged in the alchemy room.

Ritual is a very broad subject. Many of the ritual theories that Lin Bo read mentioned a concept, that is, ritual has no fixed form.

The core goal of the ceremony is to "guide", just like ditches directing water, like hillsides facing the wind and turning fog, and like engines driving gears to run.

The materials, instruments, language, actions, and so on required to channel power from one thing to another are all part of a ritual, but no one part is irreplaceable. As long as it accomplishes the purpose of channeling power, it is a good ritual.

Essential to building the workshop's alchemy room is the alchemy fire ritual, which transforms magical energy substances into a transcendent flame in the furnace.

During his nighttime study, Lin Bo had already begun planning the ritual formation. In his imagination, only two things were essential: one was the pipeline for transporting magical energy, and the other was the spell to control the magical energy.

But the specific arrangement of pipelines, the selection of spells, the enchanted objects that carry the spells, and the installation location of the objects are the essence of the entire ceremony.

The delivery pipe is responsible for regulating the flow, direction and speed of the magical energy material. The magical energy material in the pipe will be affected by the spell when it flows through the enchanted equipment.

One part of the spell is responsible for igniting the magic energy into elixir fire, and the other part is responsible for confining the elixir fire in the furnace. These two spells are the most critical, the former is the ignition spell, and the latter is the binding spell.

In addition, you can add another spell to extinguish the fire urgently to avoid accidents.

Different spells need to be enchanted on instruments of different structures.

One end of the enchanted device of the ignition spell is connected to the pipeline. The magical energy material needs to stay inside for a long enough time for the spell to fully transform it. The other end is connected to the alchemy furnace to transport the alchemy fire into it.

The enchanted instruments for the binding spell and the fire extinguishing spell are placed under the alchemy furnace. The binding spell instrument needs to have magical energy flowing through it all the time, while the fire extinguishing spell instrument only needs to input magical energy to activate the spell in an emergency.

While the Danhuo Ritual wasn't difficult, it involved magical linguistics, alchemy, enchantment, and even engineering, all of which required a solid foundation. As an interdisciplinary subject, ritual studies were indeed highly comprehensive.

For Lin Bo, studying the Danhuo ritual not only allows him to learn new things, but also helps him sort out his own knowledge system.

After finishing the first draft of the Danhuo ritual formation, he began to refine the details, design the structure of the enchanted equipment, and select the spells to be used for enchantment.

As for the runes needed for the spell, he would have to buy them separately. Fortunately, the Dan Fire Ritual primarily required runes in Gudorei, with only a few in Pan-Animist. They could be obtained for around seven or eight hundred Disaster Coins.

Designing a ceremony is a lot of work and very tedious. Thanks to the book's mature case studies as reference, a novice like him would easily be overwhelmed otherwise.

Fortunately, since the first phase of the alchemy workshop was still a few days away from completion, Lin Bo wasn't in a rush. He planned to spend three hours a day studying the diagrams for the Dan Fire Ritual. Whenever he had new ideas or discovered errors while reading, he would revise the diagrams.

It was another peaceful day in Stone Tower Town. In the morning, I built the Alchemy Workshop. In the afternoon, I went to the East Cliff Grottoes and ran the 10-player Inferno [Sea Spirit Altar] with my teammates. I was lucky today; I got the affixes in both runs.

The first is [Bloodlust], which makes the dungeon enemies' attacks more frenzied, their strength increased, and their vigilance heightened. Overall, the difficulty doesn't change much, and the dungeon's Disaster Coin and Experience Points bonus is doubled, making it the easiest affix type.

The second time is [Resurrection Surge]. After the enemy falls, it will stand up again in a dead state. This affix is ​​very difficult and it takes two kills to completely end an enemy.

Only by severely destroying the corpse can it be prevented from resurrecting. Beheading and breaking the heart are not enough. It is necessary to use methods such as burning with fire, freezing with ice, and baptism with holy light.

The melee teammates all took out temporary enchantment items to add additional attribute damage to their weapons. Lin Bo also took the Holy Light Wipe from his priest teammate and temporarily enchanted the iron ball.

The benefit of [Resurrection Surge] is 5 times, but after a battle, everyone feels more tired than [Unholy Blessing], especially since it consumes a lot of combat resources.

For some teammates who lacked the ability to produce their own goods, most of the profits from this run went into the gaps in enchanted items. But since they were able to make some money, they were still happy.

After completing today's map run, one third of the professional experience has been accumulated.

Among the two purple items dropped, there is an additional pair of Tideguard Boots and a Tideguard Necklace.

Tide Guardian Necklace (Purple)
Type: Handicraft product/Enchantment product

Weight: 0.1 kg
Equipment Effect: Actively cast [Healing] four times a day; the wearer's wound healing speed is slightly increased
Set effect:...

Description: The Ocean Spirit once gifted this item to the Apothecary as a reward for providing herbs and careful treatment. When she was imprisoned, the necklace returned to her to help her wounds heal faster, making it easier to cut again. This is Tawimira's kindness and her chains.

This necklace can only heal a few people in my hands, but with her, it can save dozens more people every day. — Message from the pharmacist

In addition, both instances dropped affix treasure chests, [Bloodthirsty] Ocean Gift and [Resurrection's] Ocean Gift. Lin Bo opened them after finishing the run.

The drops are disaster coins, materials, invitation colorants, and some temporary enchantment items.

The materials obtained from the treasure chest are always good magic materials. Lin Bo carefully put them in his backpack. Little by little, they will come in handy one day in the future.

As for the temporary enchantments, they were all curse-type enchantments that added negative effects to enemies. He sold them for some disaster coins. He also bought some temporary enchantments with holy, fire, frost, and other attributes, just in case.

After finishing the mapping work and completing the cave construction, it was almost evening before I knew it.

Lin Bo returned to the lighthouse to receive visitors and had a brief exchange with several new members of the order who had witnessed the miracle.

These new believers are all the middle-aged and young generation of Shita Town. They have not converted to the elders, but they also agree with the order's teachings that the elders are respected, and regard the miracle workers as the incarnation of the five gods in the world.

These audiences came and left, and on the way out of the cape they looked back frequently, gazing at the white lighthouse standing in the cold autumn wind, immersed in the golden glow of sunset.

They would talk in low voices, talking about the treatments they had received from the lighthouse keeper. At that time, they did not know the true identity of the miracle and could treat it normally, but now when they think about it again, they feel that the figure of the night watchman is so close and yet so far away.

It is as far away as the incense smoke rising from the church, dissolving into the sky; it is as close as a fine needle piercing the skin, and the neuronal impulses always remain.

Being in the blessed land and walking with God, this kind of life is completely different from the past twenty or thirty years. It seems that even the sea breeze they breathe and the soil they step on are now soaked with an uplifting atmosphere.

These new members are already eager to share the joy with their fellow believers, to attract their relatives and friends to join the sect, and to spread the crowd serving miracles from one horizon to the other.
