Chapter 187 Sage's Stone

Is this what you do? "

Annan turned around and asked.

This kind of thing seems to be a good quest reward item to send to the player...

Directly back to full blood - isn't it fierce?

"This is a panacea, and it's very useful. It's just very troublesome to make."

Salvatore glanced at it and explained casually: "It can be used to treat trauma and internal injuries. It is mainly used to treat injuries of unknown origin. You see there are burns, bonding wounds, and fractures on your side. , to relieve snake venom, to resist negative energy... Generally, the right medicine is prescribed after judging the wound."

Annan suddenly realized.

It seems that the panacea should be used to treat injuries like "I don't know what happened, but I lost blood".

"The shelf life of panacea is very short. I made these a few days ago."

Salvatore added: "It has to be stored at rest, not shaken. Once it shakes - almost certainly if you take it out, it will fail after three days. And it has to be stored at 'early spring' temperatures. In order to maintain activity, it can only be kept active by receiving suitable light, but it can only be stored for a month at most...

"Actually, at the very beginning, I thought to myself. If I don't want to make some panacea, I just have the materials. I made a panacea for a day and made three expenses, but at that time, I suddenly reacted. .

"If we encounter difficulties that require a lot of panacea to solve...then I'm afraid, it will be useless to do more."

Salvatore sighed.

He walked over, gently lifted a tube of elixir, slowly laid it flat, and aimed it at the burning torches on the four walls.

"Look, Don Juan. For a panacea that is still in its validity period, you can see these transparent lines like hair strands when you look at the light. If it fails, these transparent lines will become that kind of cloudy. Suspended matter... It can be basically said that the more cloudy the panacea, the shorter the validity period."

"I see."

Annan nodded, indicating that he had learned.

He immediately asked: "Then you have been busy for several days,

What did it do? "

"it is this."

Salvatore pointed with his chin to the enchantment that was emitting a rolling heat wave.

A ruby ​​the size of a pigeon egg was bound in a brass chain and floated in the air. The four chains are all stretched straight, and the position that is in contact with the table is four red jade plates, and there are circuit-like zigzag traces engraved on the table.

In the middle, there are eight brass walls that look like mahjong standing up. The four inner walls were combined with each other, and the outer four walls were all disconnected, but the red liquid did not spill out at all, but continued to rotate counterclockwise around the center.

"What's this?"

Annan asked.

Salvatore replied: "The Stone of the Sage."

……What?

Annan was surprised.

Upon seeing this, Salvatore hurriedly added:

"—a semi-finished product. I can only do it so far, but it's also ready for normal use."

Annan blinked.

He looked at the red medicinal liquid carefully.

"...What is it used for?"

Annan asked.

Although the name "Stone of the Sage" is very big... But Annan still wants to confirm whether this is the same thing as what he knows.

"'The 'Four Wheels', 'The Work of Creation', 'The Supreme Crown', 'The Archetype of Truth', 'The Perfect Essence of Elements'. I think the teacher should have told you that the five components of the sublimation ceremony... Something every superhuman has ever sought."

Salvatore said slowly: "And the stone of the sage, it is the supreme treasure in nature and can act as the perfect essence of all elements. Therefore, it can also be said that it is the blood of the true god, a shortcut to the road to becoming a god. key.

"And because of this, it can transform something imperfect into its own perfect form. For example, it can turn sand into gems, copper into gold...and people into gods. If they weren't extraordinary, they wouldn't be able to see it at all. Nor can the Sage's Stone be touched; but not even the gods can destroy it.

"In other words, the power of any element cannot destroy it. It cannot be burned or frozen, it cannot be cut or broken... It is one of the very few substances in the world that can completely resist the power of the gods.

"Before the 'Wizard War', that is, the 'Great Unification War' era, when we transformed wizards and people were called alchemists, artificially making the sage's stone was our ultimate goal. The transformation wizards of the sage's stone have become gods. But it is strange that they have not left a clear method of making the sage's stone..."

Looking at the rushing red liquid, Salvatore looked complicated: "I actually didn't think about it at all, I can succeed."

"...Then how dare you do it?"

"When I slept—I mean, while I was dreaming, dreaming, dreaming."

Salvatore replied subconsciously, but before he could say it, he reacted and changed his words: "I dreamed of a part of the refining method, although it is incomplete, but I think... it seems that it can be tried. "

Annan glanced at Salvatore suspiciously.

He felt very clearly that this was not the truth.

But Annan is no fool.

Since Salvatore wanted to try hard to hide this fact, he naturally wouldn't ask him about it.

He just changed the subject: "So, how should it be used? What is the specific effect?"

"It's very simple—"

Salvatore breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "What I made is only a half-finished product of the Sage's Stone, which can only be dissolved in blood to be effective.

"The Sage's Stone is a living being and it will automatically move towards the sun. So I used this 'Crimson Blood' gem to make a potent thermostatic enchantment, transformed into the concept of 'sun', and used a side of gilded brass Instead of the concept of 'the earth that receives sunlight', I can absorb it. Otherwise, I can't control it...

"As for the effect..."

The corners of Salvatore's mouth rose naturally, showing a confident and happy look.

He pretended to be indifferent, tried his best to suppress his happy and contented emotions, and replied calmly: "For us, it can be used as a powerful soul fuel.

"After advancing to gold, the soul will start to burn, bursting out the power of its own elements. While the lifespan is greatly shortened, it also immediately possesses all kinds of strange methods to approach God.

"But in our Zedi Black Tower, there is a theory that the superhumans with golden souls, their elemental power only comes from this 'sublimated soul that can burn', not the soul that must be burned To get the ashes of the element. That is to say...

"After using the sage's stone, we can temporarily raise our soul rank to the golden rank. Therefore, it is possible to directly obtain the power of the fully awakened elements... but I am not sure about this."

Salvatore looked at the liquid sage stone that was constantly flowing on the table, and said slowly: "In short, with the strength of our souls, these can be used about three times. Each time is about three minutes.

"That should be enough."
