Almighty Alchemist

Cross.

your Highness.

Xiu Yi has some doubts about the cultivation of magic. He hoped that I could help him find an excellent instructor, so I recommended you. From today onwards, you will be responsible for teaching Xiu Yi magic during our stay on Purgatory Island.

The red robed sorcerer named Klos was taken aback: But... but Her Royal Highness, he is just a servant, how can you let me teach a lowly servant?

The little princess' eyes widened: Are you refusing my order?

No, Your Royal Highness, but the problem is that he is not qualified to learn magic at all. You also know that learning magic requires talent, and it is impossible for a lowly servant to have the talent to learn magic. Moreover, a few days of teaching will not help him in any real way.

Gong Hao stood up: Master Cross, first of all, I want to declare that I am now an official alchemy apprentice, and I am no longer a servant.

The reason why alchemists are alchemists is because they don't have the ability to learn magic. Cross was not polite to Gong Hao.

Yes, Master, you are right. Similarly, I don't have to learn magic, but I have some doubts about the cultivation of magic. I think I need an expert in this field to answer for me, so I ask Her Royal Highness to find the most wise and generous master for me to give me advice. Her Royal Highness recommended you for me.

Hearing his smartest and most generous evaluation, Cross's face became much better: So you just want to get some pointers?

Yes, Master.

Well then, if that's the case, I can teach you something.

Good master, I want to accompany Her Royal Highness and be her guide during the day, so may I ask you for advice at night?

no problem.

Then... I look forward to the night.

Gong Hao backed away with a smile.

No one knew why Gong Hao suddenly became interested in magic again, but after contacting the soul image left by the troll god, he knew that he had accidentally discovered a big secret.

Electra is not just an alchemist, he is also a magician, a very powerful magician, a real magician rather than a half-baked alchemist.

He saw with his own eyes that Electra used spells instead of other methods to stop the meteorite from falling, and at that time there were no fluctuations of the magic patterns on his body, which meant that he used completely his own power.

This is an astonishing secret, and Gong Hao felt that he might be approaching this master alchemist.

For many years, countless people have wondered what made this master alchemist such a genius to create super powerful alchemy inventions one after another, but they have never found the answer.

If you only rely on wisdom, there is no reason why the wisdom of countless alchemists for hundreds of years cannot be compared to him alone.

But now, Gong Hao saw a new path.

Electra is more than just an alchemist!

If it were someone else who knew this fact, it might be further understood that Electra is a super genius among geniuses. Not only has he made achievements in alchemy, but even his own cultivation has reached the peak, which is enough to make people worship. But Gong Hao thought exactly the opposite, he thought that might be the real secret of Electra's success in alchemy!

At that time, he suddenly thought of Bloody Orchid.

Yes, if you want a plant to survive, then you try to create the right environment for it to grow.

So if you want to allow yourself to have the achievements of a super alchemist, the simplest and most stupid way is to get close to him in all aspects as much as possible. In this way, it is most likely to find the source of his power to accomplish everything.

Although Gong Hao doesn't know how Electra's magical achievements have affected his alchemy, nor does he know what kind of magic he is good at, but it is certain that this is undoubtedly a way to open the door of Electra's wisdom.

Different from others, Gong Hao never believed in talent and blood. From Lancelot, he learned one thing - hard work is the most important talent.

Meditation in the jungle did not make him realize that he had a gift for learning magic, but it made him feel that he could do what others could do. He had no reason to give up, so he offered Avril Lavigne to help.

Avril Lavigne agreed to his request almost immediately.

It's really not that difficult for her.

———————————

When night fell, Gong Hao came to Cross' room.

Master Cross, thank you very much for the guidance you will bring to me.

You don't need to thank me. If it wasn't for Her Royal Highness, I wouldn't have taught you anything. And I don't think you can learn anything in such a short period of time.

Gong Hao laughed: I will do my best.

So, what do you want to know?

Master Kloss, I heard that when the resonance of the elements reaches a certain level, the effect of element shock will be produced. I would like to ask the master if this is the case.

Indeed. Cross nodded and said: Elemental resonance is a phenomenon in magic. It only shows the degree of fit between a magician and magic elements, and represents a magician's rising potential in this department of magic. However, elemental vibration is an upgrade of elemental resonance. When the resonance between people and elements reaches a certain level, all elements will resonate at the same beat, and respond to the magician's call with the same amplitude and speed. It is like a boiling effect. This is the elemental vibration effect. Vibration is a manifestation of a high degree of fit. If resonance is only to establish a connection, then the concussion effect is equal to efficient command. If the breadth of resonance represents the range of influence of a magician's spell, then a magician with the ability to vibrate elements is equivalent to increasing the power of his magic several times.

It turned out to be like this, Gong Hao somewhat understood.

Master, can every magician generate elemental shocks?

Of course not. Everyone with magical talent has the ability to resonate with elements, but there are actually very few who can cause elemental vibrations.

The astonishment in Gong Hao's heart became more and more intense.

During the day at the Troll God, when he used the elemental induction on the soul magic orb and tried to establish a resonance connection with it, he never imagined what he could do. But at that moment, what he felt was an unprecedented fit with the soul energy in the pearl at that time.

After returning, he specifically checked the research records on the troll god. It is not that no one has tried to establish resonance with the troll god. Although Hines was unable to succeed, others had made similar efforts before him, but none had ever been able to see the last world in the soul energy of the troll god.

So why can I see it? One thing he realized based on the situation at the time was that he might have inadvertently triggered the element shock effect. He didn't know much about elemental shocks, so he couldn't wait to ask Cross.

But he didn't expect that the answer Kloss gave him would be like this.

Do you have the talent of a magician? And a person who has the ability to shake elements, which is rare among magicians?

He thought of the situation when he was meditating in the jungle that day when the wind element vibrated in a large area, breaking through the fog and revealing sunlight. At that time, he only thought it was a phenomenon of elemental resonance, but at this moment, it seems that it may not be that simple.

If so, what about Electra? Could he also be a magician with element shock ability? Or did he do it some other way?

Gong Hao suppressed the doubts in his heart, and respectfully said: Thank you, Master Kloss, for your guidance, so what research do you have on the soul?

Cross frowned: I don't have much research on soul spells. After all, like undead magic, they are taboo spells. But for alchemists, this aspect is actually not taboo. I can tell you my limited knowledge. According to my understanding, soul is actually a kind of magical energy.

The soul is a magical energy?

That's right. Magical elements are everywhere. Don't you alchemists think that it exists and constitutes the basic composition of this world? If that's the case, it's not surprising that the soul is made up of magical elements.

I see. Gong Hao understood. He had always wondered why human beings had souls in Fengming Continent. After all, in his previous world, souls did not exist. But it now appears that this was clearly due to a different composition of matter. In Fengming Continent, the so-called soul is actually the element carrier of human will. Just as the human body is actually composed of various basic substances, so is the soul. The magic element has extraordinary magical ability, not only can become a real thing, but also can inherit the will and make it concrete.

It's no wonder that I can resonate and even have a concussion effect with the soul energy in the magic beads, because those souls are actually a form of magic elements, just like the elements of wind and earth.

Thinking of this, Gong Hao's heart suddenly became brighter. Could it be that the production of flesh and blood puppets is related to element shock and soul spells?

Isn't the reason why the flesh and blood puppets use soul energy to establish elemental resonance? His heart suddenly lit up, and a door to success has slowly opened in his heart.

Keeping this joy deep in his heart, Gong Hao continued to ask Cross.

With Cross's answers one by one, Gong Hao's understanding of magic gradually deepened.

He discovered that magic is actually a path of self-development established on the magic plane, which also obeys the basic laws of matter and the operation theorem of everything. And as long as you understand this point, your future path will be much easier if you want to go smoothly.

Cross was surprised.

Every magician is actually a person with profound knowledge. Their understanding of magic determines their use of magical abilities. Just relying on powerful magic power cannot make oneself truly powerful, and a magician also needs enough knowledge.

From a person's questions, it can be seen how much potential this person has for learning magic. Although Gong Hao has not been tested, Cross found through his questions that the blond boy's questions are almost all targeted.

He never asked those simple, useless questions, and every question was to the point, and often even some senior mages might not be able to understand it.

This kind of understanding has nothing to do with his own ability, but only with his ability to understand magic. Some people often say that the mastery of magic knowledge is the second talent of becoming a magician, but they are not wrong. But now it seems that this little guy has an extraordinary talent at least in the ability to understand magic.

I just don't know how his elemental sensing ability is, and how much resonance he can build.

He had a desire to test Gong Hao.

Xiu Yiglaer, you told me that you have been practicing meditation for nearly half a year, so have you been able to establish resonance with the elements?

Yes, Master.

Then you meditate now, and I'll see how compatible you are with the elements.

Here? Gong Hao hesitated.

Yes, right here, first try to establish a connection with the earth element.

Gong Hao nodded and began to meditate.

Cross regretted to find that Gong Hao's ability to sense and resonate with the earth element was not even half a room wide. In other words, his affinity for the earth element is basically equal to no.

He shook his head regretfully. Cross himself is an earth mage. Once his earth spells are cast, they can spread all over the castle. If he does his best, he can tear this place into rubble.

Next, he tried Gong Hao's fire element sensing ability, and it was just the same.

Cross shook his head regretfully again: Forget it, you don't need to try, just tell me which element your perception ability can cover a distance of 20 meters around you?

As long as you can cover a distance of 20 meters around your body, does it count as having this type of talent? Gong Hao asked.

I can't say that, different departments are different, but you can understand it this way for now.

Gong Hao thought for a while, then lowered his head and replied: Unfortunately, Master, I don't think I can establish this level of resonance with any element.

It's a pity, your understanding of magic is very strong, you are very smart, but your talent prevents you from establishing enough perception with elements. You are not a material to become a magician, but you are indeed suitable to be an alchemist.

This is my regret, Master. Gong Hao replied calmly.

In this case, you'd better go, you are wasting my time here.

Yes, master, but I still hope that you can teach me some knowledge about the use of spells and some related spells.

Cross glanced at Gong Hao strangely, thought for a while, and took out a few books from his side.

I don't have much time to teach you these things. This book contains some readings and applications of spells, and the other books are spell books that record all kinds of magic such as wind, fire, water, earth, space, light, darkness, etc. Spell books are not mysterious and inaccessible things. You can read them as you like, and you don't have to return them to me. But Greer, I want to tell you that even if you learn the application of these spells and the corresponding spells, because your elemental sensing ability is too low, you can't exert their true power. Oh, maybe there will be in alchemy. A little use, that's what you're after, isn't it?

Yes, master, I just want to better serve the castle and the empire, that's all.

Then... work hard on your own.

————————————————————

Returning to his room and putting away all the other books, Gong Hao couldn't wait to open the book that recorded the wind magic.

The book that Cross gave him basically included the most important and core spells that a wind magician should master.

It was at this time that Gong Hao really began to enter the ocean of magic.

Different from Gong Hao's imagination, the mastery of magic requires not only memorizing a lot of spells, but also the mastery of the basics. Even if you have enough magic power, you need to be proficient in low-level magic to learn related high-level magic. Even a wind spell has many branches.

For example, as an apprentice of the wind system, I can learn four basic spells: wind spirit, wind blade impact, elemental condensation and air shield.

Don't underestimate these four simple spells, which represent four completely different development directions.

Wind spirit technique is the lowest level auxiliary spell, which can make people's body light and agile, while wind blade impact is the lowest level wind attack spell. Elemental condensation is a method used by wind mages to improve the effect of meditation and increase magic power, and air shield is a body protection spell of wind system.

Among them, the advancement of wind spirit art is wind flying art, wind body art, wind wing art and flying art.

Wind blade impact is the basis of wind offensive spells. The air shield is the basis of defensive spells. After becoming an elementary mage, one can master the wind vortex defensive spell with the ability to counterattack.

After becoming a junior mage, you can also learn the wind warbler, which is the prototype of the wind summoning technique.

Therefore, even if they are both wind mages, they also have different specialties. People will major in a branch according to their choice, and eventually develop their own form of magic use. Of course, there are also studies of the whole department, which means that more energy and cost are required.

This is why a mage usually only practice one series of spells. They have a mastery of the main and secondary aspects of their own spells, let alone delve into other spells.

For apprentices, it is not a big deal to learn all the basic spells. After all, they are the lowest-level spells, and they can get started quickly. What restricts them is the accumulation of meditation and magic power. However, after advanced, it takes a long time to gradually comprehend the cultivation of each spell.

In addition, to use these spells, it is not suitable to use ordinary human language, the effect is too bad, and special spells must be used.

These magic spells are composed of 30 special vowels, and the vowels are combined with each other to form a huge language family. There are more than a thousand spell phrases recorded in that spell booklet alone.

It is simply a complex and profound foreign language.

Such a complex and vast knowledge is full of endless mysteries, so that Gong Hao almost immediately fell into it and could no longer extricate himself.

He finally understood why alchemists were so tireless in studying the way of alchemy, and only at that time, he could understand how great pleasure mastering those spells would bring to people.
