Chapter 201 The Final Mantra Control Technique
In the advanced alchemy textbook purchased by Lin Bo, refining the "Philosopher's Stone" and "Elixir" is used as the graduation examination for students.

Anyone who can independently create a qualified Philosopher's Stone and place it in the metaverse is considered an independent alchemist. In the future, he can forge his own path and no longer have to repeat what others have said.

The Philosopher's Stone is a general term for a type of alchemical product. In different world backgrounds, the performance of the Philosopher's Stone is also different, such as turning stones into gold, making the elixir of life, realizing all dreams, etc. Its appearance may be crystal, metal, powder or liquid.

The alchemist group of players on the network has studied for a long time and has already developed philosopher's stones of different qualities. There are many different formulas and preparation methods for flexible selection.

This was Lin Bo’s first attempt at creating this famous alchemical treasure, and the recipe he chose was a minimalist version, which could be considered the entry-level product in the series.

The specific recipe came from "The Alchemy Encyclopedia of Travelers of All Worlds, Chapter Six" published by Ochi Rose Garden. This massive book of over nine hundred pages cost him seven thousand disaster coins, and the contents recorded there were worth the price.

In this formula, the philosopher's stone is regarded as an unchanging and eternal spiritual creation. It does not get wet when it comes into contact with water, nor does it burn when it comes into contact with fire. It is as light as thought and as hard as steel. The exclusive name of the product is "Mystical Red".

The structural strength of metals enlightened by the "Secret Spirit Red" will be greatly increased, and they will have the preliminary property of "indestructibility".

Lin Bo looked around. In the spare workshop that the giant mountain demon had found for him, there were some forging hammers, bellows, and casting furnaces piled up. They were all useless junk. He softly recited the true name of the paper, and the junk and equipment were transformed into white paper. After stacking them in an orderly manner, he placed them in the corner. He then dispelled the illusion, and the junk returned to its original form, piled up neatly.

Then, he began to refine the incantations needed for the ritual, which would guide the surging vitality within the heart stone and serve as the most critical catalyst for refining the "Secret Spirit Red".

The wizard took out a piece of blue quality magical metal from his backpack and took out half a ton as the base material for the ritual.

He chanted his true name, "(curse) blood sinks into black silver."

The reddish lead-gray metal spread out in a circle on the ground like a stream of water. On the half-inch thick metal plate, hollow pipes for guiding power gradually emerged. The grooves for placing spell weapons were like tree roots running in the soil, arching the surface to form large, regular lines. Nodes and hubs were distributed in an orderly manner on the pipes, like a city rail map.

The best medium to channel the power of the Heart Stone is the blood of living beings.

Lin Bo didn't have the habit of carrying plasma with him, and the little blood in his body was obviously not enough, so he had to ask the mountain goblins to donate blood.

"Master Lighthouse Operator needs help!" The elf flapped its wings hurriedly and spread the news throughout the cave. A large number of elf warriors heard the news and came, forming a long queue outside the workshop.

"Master Lighthouse Operator, hit mine!" "I'll do it. I'm stronger than you. Hit mine first!"

Hairy arms stretched out in front of the wizard.

The other players were busy in the main city doing simple miscellaneous tasks, running errands for plot characters, and improving their faction friendship points, but now everyone had run away. They had no choice but to follow and see what big thing had happened.

Lin Bo made many syringes, collected the soldiers' blood into glass jars, and added anticoagulants to prevent the blood from clotting.

The goblin guards lined up and stepped forward one by one, inserting needles to draw blood, and a strong smell of rust spread in the air.

The wizard also took this opportunity to use a carving knife to carve the Word of Power on the guards' armor and weapons, and whispered spells to enchant them as a reward and thank you.

Every goblin warrior was filled with excitement and smiles, having never imagined that such a good thing could happen.

Lin Bo was very measured and only drew a very small amount of blood each time. For the strong giants, the amount of blood lost was not as much as the blood lost during normal combat training.

As the line went on, suddenly a bare arm was placed on the blood donation table.

[Jingliu] gave the mage a simple smile, "Brother, I want equipment enchantments too. You can draw as much as you want, even if you die."

Lin Bo laughed in silence.

He looked at the queue behind him and saw that there was more than one companion waiting in line.

The equipment worn by players at this level is generally purple quality, but not every piece has enchantments. Although you can find a professional enchanter to customize it, the fee is not low.

If you come across a big guy in the team who offers wholesale enchantment customization services, you won’t be able to sleep at night if you don’t take advantage of this huge bargain.

"What kind of effect do you want?" Lin Bo asked with a smile, drank a bottle of whale oil potion to replenish his magic power, and then gave his teammates a blood-drawing injection.

Soon, enough blood was collected and Lin Bo's enchantment stall was closed down.

The volunteers who were not able to queue up wailed and dispersed helplessly, while the lucky ones intentionally or unintentionally displayed the power runes on their equipment, with quite sinister intentions.

Lin Bo poured dozens of kilograms of blood into a makeshift water pump, which transported it to the pipeline of the ritual plate, where it circulated.

Then put the heart stone into the liquid storage tank of the pump. The crimson liquid soaked with vitality emits a faint luster and flows along the pipe through the crystal-carved enchanted spell devices. The bright crystal spell devices are like large gems, gradually lighting up the bright red light.

Lin Bo sat cross-legged in the middle, his back against the liquid storage tank, and in front of him was the final node of the ceremony. The energy of the heart stone turned into a solid and slender beam of light, extending upward for a hundred meters, illuminating the surrounding scenery with a crimson glow.

He placed the Whale Breath Lantern on the node and whispered the real name of Whale Fire. A faint blue flame rose up and permeated the energy of the heart stone, turning into a dazzling pink-green color.

Although he didn't bring his alchemy furnace, Lin Bo had a way. He formed a flame-shaped seal with one hand and an empty palm seal with the other, and the clusters of whale fire that had been floating began to shrink and gather into a sphere.

This is the simplest emergency temporary furnace.

The main ingredients for preparing "Mysterious Red" are gold and void salt. By letting these precious metals undergo blackening, whitening, yellowing and finally redding, you can get the entry-level Philosopher's Stone.

"(Mantra) Gold." The wizard whispered softly, and a ball of gold ingot flew into the furnace. Under the control of the magic, the heavy gold did not fall.

The resonant power of the second-level word spirit surged between the whale fire and the gold, and almost instantly, the gold ingot turned into a molten liquid.

The little seagull followed the night watchman's instructions and put the void salt and auxiliary materials into the furnace one by one.

The wisps of elixir energy rise.

As the blackening process progressed, the physical properties of gold were destroyed, its true name was shattered, and it turned into dull molten magma, no longer under the control of the mage.

Fortunately, just as the recipe stated, the pill material became as light as dust after it was blackened. It never escaped from the fireball, but was driven by the surging whale fire to flow at high speed, dyeing the entire furnace gray and black.

Lin Bo slowed down his breathing and maintained an unconscious state of control. His cursed energy was rapidly consumed and sweat continued to seep out of his face.

The little seagull returned to the wizard's shoulder, stretched out its wings to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then used its toes to grab the potion bottle and poured it into Lin Bo's mouth.

His teammates were looking around outside the workshop. After talking for a while, they came closer. Someone took out a towel to wipe the sweat off his cheeks, while someone else chanted a prayer to bless him.

"Thank you." Lin Bo said softly. Everyone waved their hands and waited quietly.

The gray-black elixir in the furnace began to turn white and then yellow.

The floating elixir energy penetrated into Lin Bo's nasal cavity and whispered softly in his ear. From the Gudorei language to the Animist language, this ball of elixir told the mystery of change.

When gold died in the violent heat, even though it was still burning hot, the words became extremely cold, colder than snow, making Lin Bo feel completely indifferent.

Immediately, as the Heart Stone's vitality continued to infuse it, the process of bleaching and yellowing began. The Dan Material's words were no longer cold, but rather alienated and distant, like the moon rising from a corpse, hanging alone in the sky.

A quarter of an hour later, the final transformation was complete, and the elixir turned into bright red, spontaneously gathering into a ball in the blazing whale fire.

Lin Bo dispersed the fireballs and collected the finished product in a golden bowl. The liquid Philosopher's Stone shimmered with multicolored light. He took a few drops and placed them on his tongue, tasting it and listening to its whispers.

The teachings from the Mystical Red Spirit are a mystery of the unchanging.

Died in fire, conceived in earth, it has become immortal, unscathed by the passage of time.

Lin Bo listened silently to the whispers of the Philosopher's Stone, and a new belief in the art of control appeared before him. It was a step further than the indifference of Gu's art of control, and it was extremely cold and alienated from all things in the world, like a pale frosty moon and gold in the mountains.

He spat out the Secret Spirit Red from his mouth, and his teammates around him applauded and congratulated him on the great success of alchemy.

The master thanked them.

After the others said their goodbyes and left, he tore off a page from his notebook and whispered the real name on the paper.

Then he took the white paper and used the thin edge as a blade to cut into the rock bricks on the ground.

Hissing friction.

The soft white paper slowly pierced into the stone like a real sword, leaving clear scars.

Lin Bo maintained his new faith in the art of controlling others, his face expressionless as he pulled out a piece of white paper from the crevice in the stone. The edges of the paper were not curled or damaged at all.
