The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Page 31

However, Jiang Kehan ​​still didn't quite understand the boundaries of friendship between witches, and made a somewhat erroneous judgment.

But maybe it's a good thing?

As Jiang Kehan ​​crawled through the door, she was greeted by a unique magical energy. This energy was produced by purifying other materials and had a calming effect on witches.

While it cannot replenish the witch's magic, it can provide a stable environment, reducing the possibility of explosions and material deterioration.

Jiang Kehan ​​immediately began to look down on the alchemy room in the dormitory; the two were on completely different levels.

This is just the tip of the iceberg; the most eye-catching feature is the giant machine occupying hundreds of square meters in the corner.

It doesn't fit Jiang Kehan's imagination of the magical world at all; it's more like something that wandered out of a science fiction movie set.

It stands three meters tall and is a silver-white rectangle. From the outside, you can see hexagonal pipes and various geometrically beautiful instruments.

Wait, why are there chainsaws and meat grinders?

Jiang Kehan ​​couldn't help but rub her eyes, her lips twitching as she couldn't understand why these things were placed inside such a large machine.

Seeing Jiang Kehan ​​staring at the machine, Qingxue glanced at it indifferently and introduced it to her.

"This is used to analyze materials. It can fully consider the influence of the witch's magic on the materials, and can also directly use the analyzed elements to create micro-elements that are more suitable for the recipe. However, I still prefer to rely on intuition for alchemy."

"After all, no alchemy master has achieved success by adhering to conventional analytical principles. Alchemy is not about making medicine; it is about sighing for miracles."

At this point, Qingxue became noticeably more talkative, a far cry from her usual withdrawn self.

She stood tall with a proud and bloodthirsty smile.

"It is the sigh that miracles are no longer miracles. Once we discover one, there will be a second, a third, and countless times. We alchemists are masters at playing with miracles."

"Runes are garbage! Even a dog wouldn't learn them!"

"Not only can we not escape the essence of the material, but we also have to do grueling experiments, hmph."

Ah, Jiang Kehan ​​hadn't expected there to be a hierarchy of discrimination here. She could only nod in agreement, after all, she was also studying alchemy.

As for the Magic Elementalist, this profession, which is one of the three major secondary professions, is usually overlooked, hehe.

Qingxue arrived at her own territory and was noticeably more at ease. She looked at Jiang Kehan ​​and asked a question.

"By the way, what are you using the alchemy room to refine? Perhaps I can give you some advice."

Jiang Kehan ​​took out a small bag from her spatial bracelet. Inside were materials she had prepared in advance. She opened it to show Qingxue, and the top one was a magic crystal.

"I plan to refine a magic property display agent, since I am a transformation witch and am not yet familiar with the properties of my own magic."

Jiang Kehan ​​discovered the existence of a magic property display agent from the Alchemist's Laws, and began to consciously collect materials. After obtaining enough magic crystals from Wu Yuhan at the banquet, she finally collected them all.

This potion is usually prepared for newborn witches and is used internally by the Witch Organization. The ones sold to the public are all flawed and produce very enigmatic results.

Furthermore, the purchase of related materials is restricted. The Witch Organization does not want little witches to test their magical properties on their own. This thing only shows the current results, and if little witches become superstitious, they can easily be misled.

Fortunately, the Alchemist's Law has a complete recipe, and Jiang Kehan's magical properties have been basically determined, which made her determined to refine this thing.

Chapter 48 Intuition and Inspiration

"Hmm? Do you have the recipe?"

Qingxue hadn't expected the other party to want to refine such a potion, and looked at Jiang Kehan ​​with some curiosity.

It's important to know that this potion holds a somewhat insignificant status, and due to the limitations imposed by the Witch Organization, very few witches possess the complete formula.

Jiang Kehan ​​nodded, took out the Alchemist's Law from her spatial bracelet, and carefully held it in her hands.

The more she studied the book, the more she appreciated the wisdom it contained. It was as if she were having a casual conversation with a close friend, whose advice and knowledge offered her a lot of choices, allowing the witch to make her own decisions.

Although the content is not as professional as the courses currently available on the device, Jiang Kehan ​​has already found the book very valuable because of the reading experience.

For the first time, she realized that studying could be a way to relax.

"Yes, I got the recipe from this book. Now all I need is the right environment and equipment to try making it."

Jiang Kehan ​​handed the book to Qingxue, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Could you please take a look at me, Qingxue? Hmm, I might need your help."

Refining magic property display agents is quite difficult for Jiang Kehan, but with the help of Qingxue, who has obtained an A2 level, many problems can be reduced.

Huh? Qingxue saw the book clearly and a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

How did this book end up in Jiang Kehan's hands? It was clearly still here last time...

She looked up and quickly refused him.

"This book is too valuable, and I can judge whether your operation is reasonable based on your behavior even without looking at the recipe, so it's unnecessary."

Although Qingxue refused decisively, the longing that flashed in her eyes still caught Jiang Kehan's attention.

That was a very pure thirst for knowledge.

Is it valuable? Jiang Kehan ​​was a little doubtful. Although she knew that this book, which was being sold at half price, was definitely worth more than 200 witch gold coins, judging from the other party's behavior, the value of this book was far higher than she had imagined.

Now she owed a huge favor, a bittersweet feeling she experienced.

"It's okay, I believe in you. Besides, isn't knowledge meant to be shared?" Jiang Kehan ​​placed the book in Qingxue's hand, holding her fingers so she could hold the book.

"Besides, I've already gotten a great deal by being able to use your alchemy lab, so I should at least make it up to you," she joked. "Does Qingxue have feelings for me beyond just being friends?"

Qingxue's face flushed instantly, and she quickly shook her head, not knowing what to say.

"Hmph, children are easier to deal with than other witches," Jiang Kehan ​​narrowed her eyes, smiling like a cunning fox.

"Well, if you don't accept, then I'll have to go somewhere else, which is a bit of a shame."

Qingxue suddenly looked up, gently biting her lip, and looked directly at Jiang Kehan, suppressing her shyness.

"No, no, I can help you!"

Jiang Kehan ​​knew that if she continued teasing the other person, they might get angry, so she pulled her to a table and they opened the book together.

"Let's see. Once I've finished refining it, I can lend this book to Qingxue to study, or we can study it together."

"Mmm, mmm!" Qingxue felt like she was about to catch a fever. The other person's hands were so warm, completely different from her mother's hands.

But soon, she became completely absorbed in the book's content.

Although this book is just one of many photocopies, the author, Eldek Andrea von Clara, was not a witch from the Kongdu Dahua Empire. Most of the books she left behind are located in the West, and exchanges between witch empires have been limited in recent years, making this book quite rare.

Qingxue's mother once approached Anthony, the owner of the book, offering a high price to borrow it, but was refused with a smile. Qingxue still remembers what Anthony said.

“Miss, this book is not what you need. It is more suitable for a witch who knows nothing, not for witches like you who already have your own ideas about alchemy.”

Thinking of this, Qingxue secretly glanced at Jiang Kehan's delicate profile and was somewhat lost in thought.

Perhaps this book is worthy of the other party.

The two found the recipe for the magic property display agent. The refining process was not very complicated, but it required high-quality equipment.

"A magic maintainer?" Qingxue frowned. "This stuff is basically useless now. We can just use Witch Gold instead. It seems this formula is quite ancient."

Jiang Kehan ​​nodded and spoke with a smile.

"But the advantage of alchemy is that being ancient doesn't mean it will become obsolete, right?"

“Well, other high-standard equipment is quite common nowadays, and I have better alternatives here.” Qingxue carefully examined the requirements and added after a moment’s thought.

"Moreover, this formula seems to be able to be customized with magic to enhance the accuracy of testing, and even has a prophetic effect. Wow, what an amazing use of blank space."

Jiang Kehan ​​estimated the materials she had prepared, thought for a while, and then spoke.

"I should have prepared three sets of materials. If all goes well, I'll have one extra set, which I can use for specialization."

Qingxue and Jiang Kehan ​​exchanged a glance, both of them looking eager to try.

The most exciting part of alchemy is the hands-on part. The two got up in unison and went to the alchemy area.

"First add 50ml of Devil's Flower Stem Liquid, then add withered fresh flowers to represent death." Qingxue taught Jiang Kehan ​​how to use these high-end devices, while explaining the function of these materials to her.

"Then there is a tear of a false angel, and maggots on Hellrock, representing destruction and rebirth, and the two ends of a scale."

Jiang Kehan ​​gradually added these materials, holding her breath as she watched the increasingly dazzling solution. Her nose twitched slightly, and a foul odor emanated from it.

She took out the witch's gold she had prepared in advance from her bosom, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes, but she decisively threw in about 75 pieces of witch's gold.

Instantly, the incompatible stench disappeared, replaced by a pleasant fragrance and wisps of light.

Witch Gold is awesome, but it's a bit pricey. It's like burning money. No wonder alchemists say that if you don't explode, you'll get rich, but if you do, you'll lose a fortune.

Jiang Kehan ​​thought to herself.

"Finally, the needles of a scorching cactus are added, followed by a drop of seawater and a cloud of mist, representing the three elements of earth, ocean, and sky, which form the framework of the world."

Qingxue and Jiang Kehan ​​were both a little nervous. Once everything was ready, the most crucial step was about to begin.

Jiang Kehan ​​took a deep breath, took out about a third of a fist's worth of magic crystal, gently crushed it with her hand, and sprinkled it on the solution.

The crystals don't fall directly; they react with the water mist first. You have to be careful during this stage, because if the dosage isn't controlled properly, it will explode and all your efforts will be wasted.

The dosage instructions on the formula are for when you feel better.

This is very witchy, and also very alchemical. Even with the same materials, there will be individual differences, and at certain key moments, it all depends on the witch's own skill.

As the two stared at each other intently, Jiang Kehan ​​suddenly frowned and tentatively spoke.

"It seems like we can try specialization directly."

"Hmm?" Qingxue looked at Jiang Kehan ​​with a puzzled expression. In her eyes, this material was basically not far from being scrapped. But that's how alchemy is. Intuition is sometimes more useful than experience.

"If it's your intuition, you can give it a try." Qingxue took a small step back, raised her staff, and prepared to protect the two of them before the explosion.

Jiang Kehan ​​swallowed hard, following her inspiration, and began to channel her magic.

This step is not in the recipe at all. According to the recipe, the special potion cannot be directly added to the witch's magic. It's like the water is contaminated first, making it impossible to see anything.

But I'm thinking, maybe it's possible?

She began to understand why alchemy was associated with explosions; the witch's sudden lapse in judgment was probably quite common.

One hundred points, two hundred points, nearly three hundred points of magic power were used, and the originally shaky potion solution actually stabilized.

Qingxue leaned closer, somewhat incredulous.

"It seems you've created something really new; it didn't explode!"

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming intensely. For alchemists, not exploding was a success, and if they succeeded, regardless of whether the effect was drastically different from the original, success was success, even if the effect was inferior, it was still a new direction.

This is terrible!
