Turning stones into gold has always been a dream in the real world, but it is impossible to exist.

However, in Aitalia, all of this is the basic principle of alchemy. It changes elements from the star level and then influences matter with elements. On this basis, everything can change. This is exactly the reason why Aitalia's "alchemy" is named.

However, reality is often not perfect. The essence of alchemy is exchange, and matter, energy and information will not increase out of thin air. To the extent that the alchemist affects matter, he will have to pay an equivalent price. This price is energy, elements and a large amount of calculations most of the time.

From nothing to something, they turn stones into gold. They represent the two most difficult areas in alchemy - creation and transformation, and the need for energy - the former is most often manifested as magic - and computing power. The civilization of shadow people has the idea of ​​starlight when it takes this step, but there is another legend in Aitalia.

That is the Sage Stone.

The blood-red gemstone, which looks like a garnet, is rumored on the earth to have the power to turn base metals into precious metals and even make people immortal. It is the holy grail that alchemists on the earth are pursuing but have no results. However, after arriving in Aitalia, the people on earth discovered that there is a similar substance here - or the same legend.

A substance that may be produced by divine power and has a basic rule for converting substances. As long as you use it, an alchemist can convert substances at will at will, turning stones into gold, and turning water into honey is no problem.

What is even more exciting is that the substance is not a fictional myth, but may have existed in the distant history of Aitalia. The people of Cinsas have described it in detail and used it to build a kingdom of gold.

But the Sage Stone was finally gone. Some people think that the Sage Stone is actually a gem with endless magic power, so it provides infinite possibilities for the alchemist, but the uncontrollable squander of the Cinsas Snake Man made him lose his magic power and turn back into an ordinary stone.

There is another saying that the Sage Stone is a creation of God. The ancient saints could easily create things through some law, but that was in the realm of God that mortals could not grasp. The Sage Stone was like a medium that allowed mortals to enter the realm of truth.

It was just that the Snake Man used it uncontrollably, which attracted the dissatisfaction of the ancient saints. After the disaster was brought down, he took back the treasure. Historians who supported this argument even quoted scriptures to point out the decline of the Snake Man Empire after that era.

But no matter which legend indirectly points out the precious value of the Sage Stone, which is not only true in the history of Aitalia, but after learning about this legend, the Earthlings named it with a legend from the other side of the Star Gate.

When Fang Zhu communicated with Friston in the Tower of the Winter Solstice, the genius had personally told him that he had seen the Sage Stone in the information he saw in the Starlight, so for others, that legend is still skeptical—

But for him, it undoubtedly added a layer of authenticity.

But whether the Sage Stone is real or not, it is meaningless to study it for alchemists.

Although in history, alchemists who studied the Sage Stones were struggling one after another, there were so many of them that crossed the river, even the creation techniques he mastered could be said to be a path to the Sage Stones.

The Silver Tower also called the dragon soul they created and the crystal that replenished the dragon souls the Sage Stone, because creating souls and creating life is essentially within the scope of the ability of the Sage Stone.

But those who are actually just code names, and those who truly study the Sage Stone will always stop before the last step - as described in the story, the Sage Stone is a realm of truth that cannot be stepped into by mortals.

There are ultimate creatures like the gods in this world, who control the truth of this world, and what mortals know is nothing more than a layer of fur.

For mortals, the power of gods is mysterious and powerful, but for alchemists and magicians who have some understanding of Ether and the Sea of ​​Light, the saints are actually not mysterious. They are the manifestation of the laws of this world.

They use power, just like the laws and powers that the world itself possesses.

Just as the lightning and thunder in nature is unimaginable violent, but that is just part of the operation of elements in the atmosphere. Once you understand the mystery of elements, you will feel that it is taken for granted.

But it does not mean that mortals can master such power.

And mortals will only appear small in front of the sea of ​​clouds, and the power contained in the world is everywhere, and the energy itself will not become less or more, but will only be transferred from one form to another. Gods can reshape them because the essence of the world is so.

They can even reverse entropy if the law allows.

But for mortals, the part of the energy they can use is ultimately limited, or not limited, but most of the gains are not worth the loss.

Therefore, for ordinary people, there is actually no essential difference between studying the Sage's Stone and studying the Stone to Turn into Gold. It is not impossible to turn the Stone to Turn into Gold, but the efforts are often greater than the gains, and this is a waste of one's own efforts.

The same is true for the Sage Stone.

Making the Sage Stone may be possible, but the gains are far from the price paid. It runs contrary to the efficiency pursued by the alchemists and is therefore always regarded as an unfeasible area.

Therefore, Fang Zhu was so surprised when he heard Adni admit that her father was studying the Sage Stone. How could a genius who might have completed the star installation go astray?

But after he walked into the laboratory and looked through the manuscripts and experimental notes left by the craftsman in the past, his eyes remained firmly on those pages, and the incredible color in his eyes became heavier and he seemed to have been petrified.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! ‘On July 14th,…We conducted a targeted experiment on ‘target’, but we still couldn’t extract energy from it, nor could we know how the snake people used it in the past…’

‘On the 20th,…The second experiment has made some progress compared to the first, but it is still impossible to extract energy…’

‘On the 25th,…we can already determine the true identity of the ‘target object’ and the way the power contained therein works, but unfortunately, we still cannot use it…’

‘On August 17th,…A leak occurred in the laboratory, and a large amount of energy spread out from the ‘target’ for unknown reasons and filled the entire laboratory in just a few minutes. Fortunately, no casualties were caused, and the cause of the accident remains to be investigated…’

‘On September 1,…the assistant found that the properties of the rocks on the outer layer of the laboratory had changed, and some metal elements were extracted from it. After repeated verification, we found that it was active mitril silver…’

‘…If the rock formations outside are converted into mitril veins, considering the risk of exposure of the laboratory, I suggest giving up the laboratory here and transfer the ‘target’ to another safer place…’

‘…William agreed to my proposal…’

Adnie, Alissa and Silvide are all flipping through the scattered documents.

Except for the wolf girl, she was completely uninterested in this, and just stood by Fang Zhu, looking around the environment. The ship officer picked up a page or two to read, and then she looked at her surprised eyes.

Alisa looked at the boring experimental data and saw it all the time.

Miss Nightingale sighed, opened the record crystal, took it down, and sent it to Jita, who was still on the ship, to see if there is anything worth noting in these documents.

Tianlan also returned to the Qihai Traveler with the scholar. The two of them were in their room. The poet laid on the bed, looking at the data projected below, and couldn't help asking: "These are the things found below. Why are they all waste paper and all dust?"

She held her cheeks with her hands and muttered and complained: "I thought there was at least something valuable underneath, even if there were two flexible configurations? Unfortunately, the only remaining ones were removed by Sister Miya and Brother Ed, and turned into a pile of ragged iron."

"This adventure is pure loss."

Our poet lady in charge of logistics has completely fallen into the eyes of money.

But Jita obviously had a different view from her. She looked at the documents and shook her head and said, "The data above are very valuable. Some of them are about the star device, but the real and most valuable one should actually be the 'target object'."

"Target object?" The poet lady was stunned, "What is that?"

"Sage Stone," Jita put down the communication terminal in his hand and said softly, "Only the legendary power of the Sage Stone can transform the originally ordinary rock formations around it into mitrils ore veins. No other substance has the power to convert matter so easily."

"Wait," Tianlan was shocked, "Jita, are you saying that the Misilan mining area outside is the masterpiece of that thing?"

Miss Nightingale outside the picture sighed deeply as she listened to the conversation between the two.

She said a little weakly: "Tianlan, have you not read the things written in these documents at all?"

"That's the long paragraph of text and the formula above. I'm not an alchemist. If I look at it for a moment, my head will explode," Tianlan is certain, "But if what Jita said is true, then we are not developed?"

Countless little stars emerged from her eyes, "I have also heard of the legend of the Sage Stone. The Cinsas Snake Man used it to build a kingdom of gold, and now there are still many adventurers looking for that kingdom of gold. But as long as we have the Sage Stone, wouldn't we want as much gold kingdom as we can make it?"

The poet hurriedly jumped to the lower bunk, approached Jita and asked, "Where is it? Let's find it quickly?"

“It’s not in this place.”

She was so loud that Fang Zhu naturally heard it not far away, shook her head and answered.

He looked at the documents and felt a little unreal. He was wrong. He thought Jedham was studying how to make the Sage Stone, but he didn't expect that the other party and the pirate king actually found a real Sage Stone.

Then it's no wonder that the two of them ended up turning against each other, but they didn't know if they finally discovered the usage of the Sage Stone.

The pirate king was betrayed by others and finally died under the fog gorge. Even his ship sank there. Is it related to the Sage Stone behind this?

The Sage Stone has no research value, because it is almost impossible for mortals to create its artificial substitute by their own means, or even if it is made, it will not be worth the cost, but this does not mean that the Sage Stone itself has no value.

On the contrary, it was almost the most valuable thing he could imagine. The treasures he had heard of before were only the four holy objects, namely the Hailin Crown, the Eternal Seal, the Hand of Philosophy and the Holy Grail of the Elf.

Even the five dragon-slaying holy swords are much worse.

The usage that Tianlan mentioned is already the most valuable usage of the Sage Stone, but even so it is enough to illustrate the wealth it represents. For a true alchemist, the value of the Sage Stone is immeasurable.

If he had the Sage Stone, wouldn’t he be able to realize his conception in the Silver Tower? His true creation technique only needs to meet two dimensions, one is endless magic power, and the other is a huge demand for computing power.

The Stone of the Sage is prepared for the former.

He also wanted to get more possibilities, and turning stones into gold was undoubtedly the most valuable one among them.

But even the most valuable one is incalculable for the Qihai Brigade. After all, as Tianlan said, everyone has never lived a life where they don’t care about their logistics budgets, which is generally the basic treatment of the elite team of the guild.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He looked at Adnie on the side: "Miss Adni, is this your purpose?"

But the girl shook her head, "I have never heard of my father getting a Sage Stone, but now I think about it. Without Sage Stone, who would study the transformation of matter? But how could the pirate king allow him to tell me about the Sage Stone?"

"What's more, for the sake of his daughter's safety, his father should also keep the secret. Knowing that the Sage Stone exists in the world is a disaster and not a blessing for me. The pirate king would also send someone to kill me in order to keep the secret."

She stopped, "Although according to your words, he is dead, and although I don't know how he died, I must be unable to escape from it."

Only then did Fang Yu remember that the other party’s father might have died because of this, so he couldn’t help but apologize: “Please give me a grief, Miss Adni.”

Adni looked calm, but didn't mind very much, "That's something that has been a long time ago for me. I just want to find my father's workshop and inherit his will. As for the Sage Stone to me, it's just a symbol of disaster, and I don't have the ability to use it."

She looked at Fang Zhu with her brown-green eyes, "Don't you all, don't worry, can I leave if I know such a secret?"

Fang Zhu and Silweid looked at each other and said seriously that he was really worried. The relationship between Sage Stone was too important. Even a pirate king was betrayed because of it and died quietly. If they hadn't accidentally entered the Mist Gorge, no one would have found the wreckage of the ship.

Once the outside world knows that they may know the whereabouts of the Sage Stone, it is like the dragon soul of the fairy. What follows is the endless pursuit of the major guilds, and no one knows what the Sage Stone represents.

At that time, the only way he could survive was to seek military protection, but losing freedom was not worth the cost for the Seven Seas Brigade.

Although he hadn't given up on the principle for a sacred object, when Hailin King Crown was in front of him, he hadn't thought too much about it. But what's happening now is related to the safety of Qihai Traveler. Can they really believe a stranger who has only met for less than a few hours?

In fact, everyone doesn’t know Adni at all, so how can they guarantee that the other party won’t betray them?

Tianlan's reaction was a little slower, but at this moment he thought of this problem and couldn't help but whisper. Although she was separated by the communication crystal, she still couldn't help but get nervous.

Jita was also a little worried. She opened her mouth, but in the end she did not express her opinion. What she was worried about was more about principle. She believed that everyone must yearn for justice, but Miss Adni did nothing wrong, and even the Qihai Brigade Group had a promise to her.

But what should they do now?

But if the leader decides to keep Miss Adnie behind, should she say something to stop her?

However, is it correct to let the other party leave?

However, Alisa seemed simple, and outside the picture of the communication crystal - Miss Nightingale only stared at the other party with sharp eyes. As long as Fang Zhun did not order her to leave, she was ready to take action at any time.

Miss Nightingale was just preparing to take action. Almost everyone forgot that there was a wolf girl named the Witch of the Sea next to them. Miya raised the star dagger without any hesitation and put it on Adni's slender neck:

"Of course we can trust you," she said, "as long as Miss Adni stays on the boat, we will ensure you are safe."
