Chapter 171 Finished Alchemy Produc





The balance on the bone card instantly bottomed out, and Angel even took out seven magic crystals from his waist bag to pay the difference.


“Do you want me to deliver it to your door?” David asked with a smile.


Angel immediately waved his hand and refused. “No, I’ll hire someone personally.”


It costs 50 silver coins to hire five big men. He picked up the packed alchemy tools and returned home in a hurry.


After stacking the purchased tools in the basement. Angel continued to the Apprentice Town Market with five hired men and bought several speciality test benches, as well as some simple and comfortable stools.


For the next half-day, Angel’s basement was successfully transformed into an Alchemy Laboratory with the help of the group of big men. Angel is satisfied, even though it still looks crude inside.


The night was as cool as water. Angel was looking at the neat collection of tools in the laboratory during the cold night. Suddenly, he felt a sense of belonging.


In the days to come, Angel’s alchemy journey was smooth sailing.


It took Angel three days to refine his first product in his alchemy career: A Folding Knife.


The folding knife is also one of the 3D blueprints stored by Jon in the Holographic Tablet. It can be assembled using only three main components and two spare parts.


—An alchemy item requiring assembly is the mainstream practice for mechanical alchemy. Although, compared with integrated sculpting, it may have a little less technical content and lower power as a result. But because of the convenience and common practice of mechanical alchemy, it also has a certain place in the Alchemy World.


The folding knife, the handle of the blade branches into three parts. Its own handle also has some kind of magic lines. After the knife is opened up, one can clearly feel the chill of the blade. Looking carefully, one can even see the faint signs of magic lines on the blade.


The hardness of the Earth Demon Blood Copper coupled with the sharpness from Foundry Water made the combination of the two materials form a cold hard front.


Angel took out the test inscription to test its sharpness by gently scratching it. After trying the inscription out, there was a slight knife mark on the test inscription.


A test inscription is a special tool for Alchemy Wizards to test the sharpness. Ordinary weapons cannot break its shell. Only weapons capable of breaking through a Wizard Apprentices magic power defence can leave a mark on the test inscription.


Although this folding knife has no special effect, its texture and sharpness alone are already better than the majority of mortal weapons. The folding knife leaving a mark on the test inscription indicates it is basically a weapon that is beyond those used by mortals.


Angel was satisfied with his handiwork.


Besides, this weapon is his very first alchemy product in his life. Its commemorative significance is greater than the use. Just like the dagger Angel got from the young Sanders in the Nightmare Plane. Even though it was just a mortal weapon, it held a special significance for Sanders.


Angel decided to collect the folding knife and happily place it in his inner pocket.


Holding back the joy from his first success, Angel did not stop. He meditated a little to return back most of his spent magic power and began to refine his second product.


For this new product, he still chose a cold weapon, a kitchen tool from the 3D blueprint stored in the tablet.


—Chinese kitchen knife.


The reason why he chose the Chinese kitchen knife as his second practice work was mainly because he wants to try to sculpt the form into an integrated body.


Instead of turning the Chinese kitchen knife into an alchemy assembly item, he wants to make an integrated item directly from the Heat Blend Art.


This was obviously much more difficult than he imagined. To form a product into one item took him a lot more care and thought just in selecting the materials. The integrated formed item does not mean that only one material is used, but rather the desired item is made with the Heat Blend Art. The materials used may not be limited to only one.


After many experiments, Angel selected dozens of matching materials to blend with < Material Blend > recorded in the Nightmare Plane. Then he tested them one by one.


If this was changed to another Alchemy Wizard. Wanting to achieve the process of blending materials while disregarding the weight of each material. It can be estimated to take more than half a year to complete. Angel, on the other hand, has an unknown school’s alchemy heritage that allows him to skip many steps. More importantly, everything he refines has a blueprint.


Moreover, the 3D blueprint is projected by the Holographic Tablet, which has a 720-degree panoramic view with almost no dead angle. Angel sometimes makes a rough sketch of the blueprint when he doesn’t understand it, but the process is mostly streamlined.


Five days later, Angel’s Chinese kitchen knife finally took shape.


The integrated handle and blade of the knife flashed a cold light. This kitchen knife still no special effects. After all, Angel did not learn how to engrave magic patterns. He did not understand how magic arrays worked and he did not put in any special materials or catalysts. If he really wants to produce a product with special effects without any of the above. The probability is almost negligible.


With a slash by Angel, the Chinese kitchen knife easily scratched a knife mark nearly 1 cm deep on the test inscription.


“A one-time blended product is really better than an assembled one.” Angel thought to himself. He felt a sense of unity just by holding this knife in his hand.


After the success of the Chinese kitchen knife, Angel’s heart also beat wildly.


He decided to make a series of Chinese styled weapons.


The reason why he did this was not just because of his feelings, but to help with his practice and to familiarize himself with all kinds of materials.


Ten days later, Angel came out of the underground lab with smoke and dust all around. At this point, on one side of the underground laboratory, there were three weapons lined up.


A sword, a knife, and a dagger.


The sword is a three-foot green-edged sword. The sword is a sheathless tang sword, and the dagger is double-edged dagger.


Apart from the double-edged dagger, the two weapons all reached the level of the folding knife in terms of quality. Angel estimates that they can also be sold for one or two magic crystals. But he has no intention of selling them for the time being. After all, he is pressed for time. And although these weapons are alchemy weapons, they are also at the bottom in terms of ranking because it is also possible for mortal blacksmiths to craft it themselves.


Angel felt stuffy while in the basement for several days and gave himself a half-day off for holiday. He took a little rest and relaxed a little. After, he returned to the quiet room again.


In fact, the basic foundation of an alchemy product is the mastery of temperature, form sculpting and condensation. Angel has roughly mastered it. A few days ago, he made all kinds of cold weapons. In fact, this is the basic template of an alchemy product.


But learning this doesn’t mean Angel has become an alchemy apprentice, at most he is a top blacksmith in the mortal world.


The real alchemy technique lies in the fact that the item produced by these techniques produce universal effects.


The so-called universal effects are when equipped it has an increasing effect. Is a machine that can stabilize energy. Is a weapon that can release a spell. Is an item with a unique effects. Or an some item with more magical or unspeakable abilities. Even spatial items and temporal items can be realized through alchemy.


Angel’s goal, of course, is this kind of alchemy item.


In order to produce an alchemy item with special effects. Generally speaking, it can be achieved by these means:


The first, magic pattern study. In the alchemy process, according to the properties of the materials, the corresponding magic pattern can play a role in promoting each other. Finally getting a special effect.


The second, magic array. This calculation belongs to magic pattern science, which is an upgraded version of magic lines.


The third, special effects are guided by particular materials.


Of course, there are other means, but the mainstream are these three means.


Among them, the first two are also known as “Enchantment,” and the third is known as “Blending.”


In the realm of alchemy, Enchantment is only a path, and Blending is the most orthodox means.


And if the Blending is good, the effect of the Finished Alchemy Product is far beyond Enchantment. Because through Enchantment of an alchemy item by magic pattern and magic array. To make it special also needs the cooperation of the corresponding material properties. It is not the case where one wants to depict a property, they can just carve one on the product. There are great limitations to this process.


In the case of Blending, it is through the combination of materials that the peculiarity of a certain material is thoroughly demonstrated. For example, Cold Star Gold and Ice Raven Feathers can lead to ice-cold special effects. The material itself needs to go through blending of dozens of different catalytic liquids under certain special conditions.


Through the alchemy item production, the ice-cold special effects produced in this way depend on the material and nature. It will not be limited by Enchantment, and the effect is much more powerful than Enchantment.


If Angel wants to go farther on the Path of Alchemy, he must choose the third way: Blending.


But in order to cope with the upcoming tower climb, Angel has decided to take a shortcut: Enchantment.


He took out the < Foundation of Alchemy > and began to learn how to perform enchantment step by step.


To learn enchantment, one must first understand and learn magic patterns.


A magic pattern has its own set of rules. Every line in the magic pattern is a form of text which represents an expression of the will of the world.


For example, the magic pattern for ripening plants. This magic pattern contains lines for weather, humidity, soil, season… etc. They all represent a pattern, and the arrangement of these lines follow according to the value given by the complete magic pattern.


The real magic pattern apprentices must start by learning the meaning of each line. There are more than 60 million lines for the basic lines. Each line has a different meaning, and some even give rise to a different meaning for different periods with the same lines. Just like the same expression of “sunset” lines, because one is depicted during the winter, it is a winter sunset. If it was depicted during the summer, it would be a summer sunset. This is an example of the same line with a different meaning for different periods.


Angel naturally does not have the patience to memorize these 60 million basic lines.


For Alchemy Wizards, it is usually impossible to remember a complete magic pattern and copy it into an alchemy item without understanding the meaning of each pattern.


Generally speaking, Alchemy Wizards follow steps according to a blueprint.


But it’s not easy to draw a blueprint.


Because the description of magic patterns also requires stable magic power and long-term characterization, and no mistakes can be made halfway through the process.


For example, depicting a complete magic pattern—wave magic pattern. Some tens of thousands of lines in different directions and corners in a giant circular pattern eventually combine into a wave magic pattern. Alchemy Wizards must control the magic power output during the whole alchemy process while depicting the magic pattern diagram on the alchemy item one stroke at a time.


Moreover, when depicting the magic patterns. If there is a slight difference in spacing, direction, or size. It will basically result in a failure.


Because of this, not too many Alchemy Wizards choose “Enchantment” as their first direction.


But for Angel, “Enchantment” suits him perfectly.
