Chapter 88

Kyon and his newly acquired student returned to the treasury. The exploring of the family heritage continued.

Kyon took a cloudy green stone that contained the formation with medical formula and infused it with pure energy. The fog seeped through his nose into his mind and there appeared quite legible information about the ingredients, methods of production, properties, including all sorts of nuances and subtleties. Also, there appeared a set of incomprehensible neural connections in his brain. It described how to make the medicine (or rather how to use the elements). Any medicine is created mainly with the help of elemental energy. The alchemists handle the ingredients through the elements.

The same thing happened with the formula for the unique body. Only, there was also the information for the owner on how to develop the body properly, what abilities it got with each next energy phase.

When Kyon took a cloudy stone that contained a technique, the necessary information about the technique appeared in his head: its attribute, energy consumption, power, weakness and much more, including all the nuances and subtleties. And then the same obscure set of neural connections that had to be deciphered appeared in his brain.

Even partucilar formations such as searching marks or directions for enchanting things gave him a new bunch of neural connections. He had to get his head around them.

All the information he had received had one thing in common: he needed to analyze the neural connections and reach enlightenment.

Kyon had a reasonable question: {Why should it be so complicated? Wasn’t it easier to give clear directions on how to make things, how to shape the channel so that the technique ran properly, how to make medicine with no mistakes?}

The answer was not long in coming: every channel worked in its own way. Each channel shape set specific parameters for the outgoing energy. There were no two similar channels.

A practitioner studies the nephrite and gets a set of neural connections. They find out their own way to decipher them, translate them into the language of their channels. It’s the way of mastering any technique, any grade of elements, the formula for the formation / unique body, the correct dose of the medicine.

For example, everyone sees the blue color in different tones, but it doesn’t matter… It all comes down to blue, not any other color. That’s how the understanding of neural connections works. Through enlightenment.

There is no common language for the keys. It cannot exist in principle. When a master teaches a student, they need a nephrite with a copy or the foundation of knowledge. The master gives a presentation sitting next to the student. The vibrations emanating from the master, along with hard practice, help the student find common ground. As a result, they reach enlightenment.

Consequently, it is impossible to teach the skills related to the channels without a nephrite. Only the masters can create the nephrite (the foundation), not the ordinary students who have gained the knowledge through enlightenment and come to the result without really understanding how and why it all worked.

Kyon summed it all up:

1) Stealing the original was pure madness. It required a high level of access and a free path to the heart of the family (to the treasury) to get the basic nephrite. Copying nephrites was impossible on the physical level.

2) It was impossible to copy knowledge gained by enlightenment because it’s the basic level of understanding. The nephrite could only be created by the master, who understands profoundly the point of the instructions/technique. For example, you can do somersaults, but you can’t understand all the details of your movements. However, the method of understanding things with the help of Synergy (complete analysis of information to the smallest detail) allowed Kyon to duplicate any knowledge as he pleased.

The whole thing was fascinating. The good news was another advantage over the others: he could copy the heritage.

The method of transmitting comprehensible information from the formation (nephrite) to the mind was also impressing. Kyon wondered: {Can the brain process the whole book at once?} – He immediately refuted this idea. The duration of short-term memory is only some seconds, the period of long-term memory is also limited.

Only his compartmentalized brain could easily absorb huge amounts of information without sleep. It’s not for ordinary people. They could end up with the worst headache possible. Nosebleeds and fainting were pretty common, too.

Meanwhile, Juno had finished granting access to all the nephrites. She was staring at the servant with eyes wide open. The upper treasury contained no nephrites that created neural connections in mind, but this one was full of them. Her “master” had been studying the nephrites for more than ten hours, but it had no effect on him. {Why?! How can he still stay upright? Is he a human?!}

As far as she knew her servant, he would never pretend to impress her. He couldn’t care less about her opinion. Something unimaginable was going on.

Kyon was engrossed in studying the family heritage: a lot of techniques for different elements, each with their own requirements and direction. Hundreds of different recipes for medicine, an endless number of recipes for unique bodies, a few dozen directions for enchantment, as well as lots of formations with techniques of a certain direction. He would hardly ever bother to learn them. No need to. He was already a formacist of a divine rank if such existed at all.

Kyon was over the moon when he came across the advanced grade of all the elements. He could now master the ether, the darkness, and the light at the advanced grade, thereby enhancing them (he would remove some of the heaven restrictions). He knew, at least he had a hunch, that the lightning wouldn’t attempt to fry him next time. The elements were under his control. He would unleash their true power. However, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Kyon was disappointed to discover that every unique body in the Stone treasury was of a “C” rank. And even those were a few.

«Master, there are two bodies of a “B” rank in this secret compartment.» – Juno noticed his discontent and tried to sweet-talk him.

Kyon took a look at the two recipes and carefully studied them. He frowned. Judging by the features they give the owner, their rank was peak “C,” not “B” at all. The one who sold those bodies had tricked the patriarch.

Kyon put the recipes back, disappointing Juno a little, and continued to study the unique bodies of a lower rank.

“The body of a powerful master: any weapon in your hands will strike faster than lightning.” “The body of accumulation allows you to charge any element for three seconds to make a powerful blow.” “The body of a magician transforms the vibrations of the energy you release into a different element. You can give your opponent an unpleasant surprise.” “The body of a berserker significantly enhances the pure energy and your body for a while.” “The body of an advanced fire bender enhances your element of fire.” “The body of a usurper allows you to master the elements of wind and ether easily. In the future, both of these elements can be combined into the element of storm.” “The body of lapis lazuli allows you to release destructive azure light.”

Kyon noticed that bodies could grant a variety of skills, sometimes at odds with logic, that is, beyond the nine elements. They could amplify, accelerate, deceit, conceal the owner or the energy, help study specific sciences faster. There were bodies for alchemists, formacists, executioners, a hell of a lot of unique bodies, each with its own unusual features. Kyon’s eyes sparkled with excitement. The unique bodies could give him anything he could think of. But their featured turned out to be pathetic and weak… Those two bodies of peak “C” rank were something, but the rest, to be honest, was total crap.

He wasn’t going to build a foundation of wood. It wouldn’t let him create a magnificent skyscraper later. No way. Kyon’s heart was boiling from unfulfilled ambitions and deceived expectations. His inner perfectionist was ranting and raving.

He knew that a unique body of a “D” rank wouldn’t let the practitioner develop beyond the fifth phase. It would stop growing when it reached a certain stage.

The body of a “C” rank had a higher limit, but it didn’t make things any better. Kyon was not going to build his foundation of low-quality materials, even being the master of all the elements and the owner of Synergy. Sooner or later, he would reach his limit and envy those who could rise higher. It gave him a brilliant idea to dig into alchemy and create something unique with essential useful features.

{Yeah… That’s what I am going to do.} – Kyon had made his decision, but he was still worried about something… Alchemists create medicine with the help of the elements: pure energy, water, earth, wind, ether, heat, cold, darkness, and light. The number of the elements available to the alchemist imposes restrictions on production, methods of production, ways of purifying the medicine.

For example, you can’t create the Magma Grain without the element of heat or the Northern Star without the element of cold.

The Magma Grain can be purified with the elements of light and water, but if you do not have them, you have to be content with other elements (methods), thereby jeopardizing the final purity.

It begs the question: why not take a group of alchemists who have all the nine elements together? Indeed, it makes available all types of medicine, all methods of purifying and production.

The answer isn’t reassuring. Each practitioner has an individual frequency of elemental energy, both in the soul and in the body. If more than one alchemists create medicine, it will either explode or go off. That’s how heaven made the science of alchemy extraordinarily valuable. High-ranking alchemists wallow in money and fart through silk, living happily for the rest of their days.

{Pure energy, ether, darkness, light… Four elements are not enough to create some nifty medicine for a unique body. What do I do…?}

Another futile idea… But Lovr knew one thing for sure: he was going to lose himself in alchemy until he created a smart unique body.

It was about one o’clock in the morning.

Kyon heard someone sniffing behind him. Juno was sitting on the floor in the tight training outfit. She was leaning against the wall. Her head drooped, her knees bent: the spitting image of a stray kitten. She couldn’t leave him alone in the treasury.

Kyon approached the little angel with an insidious smile on his face. He was a little too carried away by her charm. It felt too good to take her to her room last time. He should do it again. But as soon as he touched her, Juno opened her eyes and stood up quickly, frowning.

«Master, I’d rather die than let you take me to my room once again. It’s too humiliating.» – Juno murmured with a clear threat in her voice and turned towards her room.

Kyon snorted scornfully, grabbed her little hand, pulled her to himself… And there she was in his arms, like a bride in the arms of a groom. He did not give a damn about her opinion. If he wanted to carry her up, he would do it.

«Aaaaaaaaaaah! What are you doing?! Let me go right now!» – Juno screamed, struggling in his arms.

«Shut up. I am teaching you discipline as your master. Never let anyone influence your emotional state, or else you will lose.» – Kyon calmly lectured her, carrying the writhing bird in her nest.

«What the hell are you talking about?!» – Juno turned red from embarrassment and anger. – «You… That’s not what you must teach me! Let me go immediately! Or else… I…» – Juno didn’t even know how to threaten the vile servant who had overstepped the boundaries. His touch on her back and under her knees made all her body tremble. He was repulsive.

«Master, let me go! And I… I will show you a secret place! Very, very secret! Just let me go…»

Kyon unceremoniously dropped the girl on the floor.

«Tell me.»

Juno flopped on the hard floor, made a painful grimace, and stood up angrily, rubbing her bottom.

«The master should learn good manners! You are rude and uncouth. You are not worthy of teaching me!»

«You are really going to get it.» – Kyon threatened in a murderously calm voice, stepping toward her.

Juno swallowed hard and stepped back.

«Follow me, master.» – Juno briskly went somewhere only she knew.
