"Well, the burning water allowed you to get away with it. Although I doubt whether it can be regarded as water." Ippolita rubbed the place where the cup hit her, her words full of disgust, "What about the suffocating air?
?As we all know, in order to suffocate someone, you have to cover his mouth and nose so that he can't get in contact with the air - let me see how you can make it up this time."
After hearing this, Paracelsus said calmly to Patisipachio: "Governor, I think you should hit her on the head less often. There are countless ways to make people suffocate with air."
Patisipaccio had never heard of any suffocating air. But he couldn't say that he didn't know it either, so he could only pretend to say: "Which kind is that? You can show it to me."
"I distilled it from the air. Just as I distilled the essence of water, it is the essence of air - and now it is contained in this jar."
Paracelsus picked up a closed iron can from the test bench and handed it to Patisipachio's hand. Patisipachio only felt that the tin can was very light, as if it was nothing.
He seemed to be pretending. He shook it again, but there was no sound inside. It was indeed empty. He handed the can back to Paracelsus and said, "You can demonstrate it to me."
Paracelsus glanced at Ippolita: "Miss Maid, can you help me catch a centipede? There are many centipedes under the ground, just catch them and you'll get them."
Ippolita rolled her eyes at him: "The Governor asked you to demonstrate, you can catch it yourself."
Paracelsus laughed and said nothing more. He picked up a pair of tweezers, lay on the ground and searched a few times, and soon came back with a centipede the size of his index finger. He put the centipede away first.
In a cup next to him, he then tipped the tin can upside down, opened a hole from the bottom, then stuffed the centipede in, and finally closed the hole again. He counted a hundred, and then opened the hole. Only the
The centipede fell down vertically and lay motionless on the ground, dead.
"It's not convincing at all! This doesn't mean that the centipede suffocated to death." Ippolita said, "Maybe you added something poisonous to it."
"Oh, I didn't add anything strange. The raw material used to prepare this tank of gas is just ordinary air. But compared to arguing about such meaningless things, this air has a magical property. Governor, you
Want to see it?"
Patisipachio's curiosity has been completely aroused: "What is it?"
Paracelsus lit a piece of paper, then quickly turned over the tin can and threw the paper in. The flame on the paper went out quietly the moment it touched the bottom of the tin can.
"Can this air extinguish fire???" Patisipaccio couldn't help shouting.
"It's a pity that the air will escape from the jar soon. Because it is the essence of Qi, it is lighter than air." Paracelsus threw the tin jar away, "Of course, this is nothing more than air."
It’s just one of the necessary conditions for preparing ocean fire.”
"This kind of thing can only be regarded as one of the necessary conditions?" Patisipaccio was so shocked that he almost couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He patted his face. His fat face swayed for a while, and then he finally said
He woke up. He asked seriously: "Paracelsus, can I ask, what is the process of creating ocean fire?"
"Fire that can burn in water refutes the common sense of the world. Unless the process of creation is repeated, returning to the origin of life, and combining the three elements that refute the common sense of the world, only then can something that refutes the common sense of the world be born."
"Three elements?" Patisipachio was stunned again, "Not two elements or four elements?"
The four elements are air, water, fire, and earth, and the two elements are philosophical sulfur and philosophical mercury. Both theories are intended to explain the composition of matter and are also the guiding ideology of the current alchemical world. The former comes from Aristotle,
The latter comes from Jabir ibn Hayan. Because Jabir intentionally integrated the four elements into the two-element system, the two theories of two elements and four elements can coexist ambiguously, which has a great influence on the alchemical world of later generations.
The impact is huge.
"The two-element theory can only be used to explain the composition of minerals. Alchemy should not be limited to minerals. The cycle of rain, the generation of minerals, the growth of plants, the generation of life, and even digestion, nutrition, respiration, and excretion are essentially
It is all a process of alchemy. God is the greatest alchemist. In addition to philosophical sulfur and philosophical mercury, the elements that make up all things in the world should be added to philosophical salt - sulfur, mercury, and salt. These are the three elements that make up all things in the world.
elements.”
As he spoke, Paracelsus shook the cup containing the water of life.
"To prepare ocean fire, you first need suffocating air and water of life. The original world evolved from here. In this environment at the beginning of all things, three elements of sulfur, mercury, and salt are put in: zinc.
An unusual metal will serve as philosophical salt in this transformation; cold fire, this unusual fire will serve as philosophical mercury in this transformation; and kelp ash - I will extract this unusual earth,
Philosophical sulfur is extracted from it. Under the skill of the alchemist, the sulfur, mercury, and salt will be combined again, and a more powerful substance will be born from it.”
"That's the fire of the ocean?"
"Yes, ocean fire. This is a substance with powerful power, but it is too powerful and fleeting to survive in this human world. Once, the suffocating breath is necessary, and it is the swaddling clothes
, only in the original environment created by it can the divinity of Ocean Fire be preserved intact."
"Pa", "pa", "pa". Patisipaccio applauded.
"Paracelsus, you are indeed very different from the vulgar alchemists at the Alchemy Academy. If you can successfully complete the Ocean Fire, I will not only cancel your daughter's debt, but also give you a sum of money."
The considerable reward will make you worry-free for the rest of your life."
"Rather than something far away like this, I hope you can help me prepare the raw materials I need as soon as possible."
"Is there still a shortage of 'cold fire'? Paracelsus, in order to refine this substance, what should I prepare for you?"
"Urine is enough."
"Urine?" Patisipaccio looked a little surprised.
"Human beings are the epitome of the world. All things go through decay and rebirth, so urine also contains vital life force. I want to extract the essence from it. For quality reasons, it is best to use the urine of a young woman, and
The stronger your own magic power, the better——"
Paracelsus looked at Ippolita with meaning.
Ippolita was so angry that he pulled out the knife: "You fat pig! Look, I will kill you..."
"Okay, Ippolita, you will provide it." Patisipachio interrupted Ippolita ruthlessly, "Paracelsus, how much do you need?"
Paracelsus shrugged: "Anyway, let's get fifty barrels first."
