William: "The most widely circulated saying in the mysterious world is that everything is spiritual. You must have heard of it."
Quins nodded. During this period, he absorbed a lot of basic occult knowledge. Quins found that starting from this sentence, he could always analyze some occult principles.
William: "All things have spirituality, spirituality breeds spiritual bodies, and spiritual bodies then derive blood and spirit, and then produce all things. In alchemy, form is called the veins of all things. And the veins of all things, when placed on living things, are
The so-called bloodline; spirit, is the spirit body. To be more precise, it is composed of the spirit body.
The transformed soul. However, in alchemy, there is a strict definition of the soul. The conscious one is called the soul, and the conscious and unconscious one becomes the spirit. Simply put, after the spiritual body of all living things, including us humans, transforms,
They are all souls, and those dead things that are lucky enough to be extraordinary contain spirits.”
Quines was eye-opening when he heard this: "Theology of Strange Objects, this is about refining strange objects as human beings." Think about it, as long as the spirit evolves into the soul, isn't this a complete person? Of course, Quines
People here refer to intelligent creatures.
"Haha, you're right. To refine rare objects, you need to have such a spirit. Even Puppetology split from the concept of Oddity and developed a brilliant branch of Puppetry." William said with a smile.
Quins also did some homework before taking the class. Puppetry is divided into many branches. Biological puppets, elemental puppets, and mechanical puppets are all mainstream puppet subjects. There are also microbial puppets, which are from the mysterious
Split out of the branch of pharmacy, based on Quines's knowledge, isn't this the cellular intelligent robot that was still a concept in a previous life?
William continued: "So, the study of magical objects is divided into two major schools of alchemy, shape refining and soul shaping. All the schools of magical objects in the world, no, alchemy schools, are included in these two schools.
middle."
"Shape refining, soul shaping!" Quins thought thoughtfully.
"Refining a rare object is not just about refining the materials in hand, then getting an alchemy blueprint and refining according to the drawing. Many beginners will have this illusion when they first start learning."
Quins asked strangely: "Isn't it true?" I really thought so before I learned it.
William sneered: "Let's take the stitcher as an example. This summoner profession is almost the most rubbish and bottom profession among summoners. Do you know why this is like this?"
Quins thought for a moment and said, "Is it because his summons were pieced together?"
William shook his head: "No, as far as I know, some summoners who are trained in the secret of summoning strange objects are also very strong. The reason why the suture master's summons are really at the bottom is very simple. The veins in each part of the summons
It's not perfectly connected, and I suspect that they destroyed the veins of each part to a certain extent after the sacrifice, which is the main reason."
Quince thoughtfully said: "What you mean is that the refining of rare objects is not step-by-step, but requires attention to the connection between the materials."
William: "Yes, refining materials to remove impurities is only the basics. During the refining process, keeping the material's veins intact, or even more advanced transformation of the veins' trajectory is the main focus of the alchemist. And refining various materials together,
It is also an important test for the alchemist to match, connect, and transform many disconnected connections. This is the essence of the alchemy school. Summons like the suture master are simple and crude, and have no alchemical beauty at all."
Quins suddenly realized: "I see, it is indeed the right choice for me to enlighten you." William's words cannot be seen in alchemy. One sentence is truly passed down, and tens of thousands of books are falsely passed down. This sentence said in the previous life
It is indeed not unreasonable.
"What about the plastic soul?" Quince continued to ask.
William touched his chin and said: "I am from the form-refining school, and I don't know much about the soul-shaping school. But I can give you an example. In the alchemy world, many alchemists in the field of magic believe that evil spirits
The resentful spirits of the Spirit Society are a relatively successful example of spirit shaping."
"The evil spirit of the Evil Spirit Society?!" Quins' jaw dropped to the ground when he heard the success.
William nodded solemnly: "From an academic point of view, yes. The alchemy world has conducted special research on the Evil Spirit Society's advancement into formal transcendent beings." Next, William told the story of the Evil Spirit Society's Evil Spirit apprentices' advancement into evil spirits.
The process of the Spirit Summoner.
Generally speaking, there are many similarities between the Evil Spirit Apprentice advancement and the Suture Master advancement. The difference is that one is outside and the other is inside. Each requires only six parts, while the Evil Spirit Apprentice requires as many spiritual body parts as possible.
.
Torturing ordinary people and making them resentful and resentful will have a certain chance of awakening part of the spirit body, and this part of the spirit body that has been infected by resentment is the best material for the evil spirit disciples. They use secret techniques to cut off this part of the spirit body.
Save some of the resentful spirits. After that, repeat this behavior ten or a hundred times to collect the best resentful spirit materials.
After this, the most important step is to combine all the resentment spirits and use some kind of sacrificial method to completely distort the attributes of the spirits and turn the collection into a complete individual. At that time
, the spirit body also advanced into a resentful spirit.
"The most important step among these steps is to distort the attributes of the spirit body, so that all the attributes of the spirit body are twisted into the same spirit attribute. Therefore, in alchemy, the essence of spirit shaping is the coordination of the attributes of the spirit.
Let the spirits in each participating material eventually coordinate into a whole, a spirit." William said eloquently.
Quins nodded: "Since the collection of twisted spirits is so effective, many people should follow suit."
At this time, William said seriously: "On the contrary, the collection of twisted spirits is called heretics in alchemy and is expressly prohibited by orthodox alchemists. Anyone who encounters such alchemists can kill them unconditionally."
Quins was startled, then blurted out: "Is it because of the method, distortion?"
William nodded solemnly: "You can imagine it if you look at the crazy people in the Evil Spirit Society. If you use this method to shape spirits, all the strange objects created will be affected by the spirits in the strange objects. Gradually,
Becoming a lunatic like the Evil Spirit Society. It is said that the creator of the Evil Spirit Secret, the Evil Spirit Lord, was the one who discovered the method of twisting spirits. Based on this principle, he created the Evil Spirit Secret. He even developed
Created a school of spirit shaping, the school of resentment."
Quins: "There are really all kinds of lunatics in this world."
William: "Except for the Resentful Spirit School, there are very few schools in the Spirit Shaping School, and they are also very mysterious."
Quince: "Like the blood side and the wizard side?"
William: "Yes, the soul-shaping school is the same as the wizard side, because in order to meet the requirements of the soul-shaping school, in addition to specific alchemical secrets, only wizards who can mobilize soul particles are qualified to become soul-shaping alchemists."
"In general, this is the basic principle of body refining and soul shaping. But it doesn't mean that if you choose one school, you don't need to learn the knowledge of the other school, nor does it mean that you will be on the right path just from the beginning.
, in the beginning, as an alchemist apprentice, you still have to practice step by step according to the drawings, which takes a lot of time and money."
Quins expressed his understanding. Knowing the principle is one thing, but practicing it is another. He would not be too ambitious and think about reaching the sky in one step.
"However, why can't we specialize in one sect and learn the knowledge of another sect instead?" Quince asked doubtfully.
William replied: "Whether refining the body or shaping the spirit, it is a means of refining a rare object. But don't forget that a rare object is a combination of spirit and form. In the process of refining your form, the spirit actually
It is also slowly taking shape. When the form is completed, the spirit will be fixed. If you want to refine a good rare object, during the process of refining the form, you must always pay attention to whether the spirit is complete with the form during the formation process.
Harmony, whether the final alchemical purpose is achieved, etc., and vice versa.”
After hearing this, Quins had some enlightenment. He said before that refining rare objects is to refine the human body, but the human body is born, and the relationship between the spirit body and blood is the relationship between father and son, closely connected. But strange objects are different.
, the spirit and form must be in harmony with each other internally and externally to be a complete wonder.
William: "In the form-refining school, the spirit needs to adapt to the form, so the effect of the spirit is bound to be impossible to reach the extreme. The advantage is that it can accurately customize the effects of strange objects; conversely, in the spirit-shaping school, the form must move with the spirit, which has many advantages.
Obviously, strange objects can exert their full effects, but they also have disadvantages
, Alchemists can only grasp the general direction of the mystery of the spirit, and because the form moves with the spirit, the shape of the strange object cannot be controlled by the heart. However, as long as alchemy can reach the peak, no matter which school it is, it can draw parallels and finally fuse the two.
Combining all the advantages in one body, one can become a master of alchemy."
"Enlightenment in the study of strange objects is also an enlightenment in alchemy. The principles of all branches are well understood. As long as you adhere to this principle, no matter which branch of alchemy you study in the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
Quins chewed over and over what William said in his mind, saying that the mystery of this world ultimately comes down to spirituality, and even the changes derived from spirituality. Nothing can escape from this cage.
.
By analogy, Quines also gained a little more understanding of the sorcerer's practice.
"Oh, now that I've said this, I want to warn you not to use any secret treasure you get easily."
"Don't use the secret treasure lightly?" Quins wondered, "Is there something wrong with the secret treasure?"
William sighed: "As alchemists whose ultimate pursuit is artificial secret treasures, our party has conducted more in-depth research on secret treasures."
"The secret treasure is a natural product of heaven and earth. You can think of it as the will of the world refining the rare objects. It's just that the refined rare objects are more powerful and more perfect. But it is impossible for this world to be perfect, and from time to time there are
Many weird and evil things have happened, which also means that the secret treasure will be affected by various influences, both physical and spiritual, before it is finally born." When William said this, his face looked a little heavy.
Sensing William's anomaly, Quines asked: "What will be the consequences of these effects?"
"The tangible is destroyed, infected, distorted and then affects the spiritual, and vice versa. These will produce huge defects and cause various mysterious and unpredictable effects." William replied: "For example, the shadow line ball in my hand,
Its flaw is that it can be easily subdued by black cats. This is a secret treasure that can be exploited. However, most secret treasures have various huge side effects, some for the user, some for the surrounding environment, and some for weird things.
There are so many side effects that I can’t even count them.”
"In this case, there are still people who want to study and use it?" Quins was a little confused.
"For the alchemist, the secret treasure contains the secrets of the world, so what if it has some side effects. For those greedy people, as long as it can bring them wealth, power, and power, so what if it has some side effects.
.Isn’t this a world where people cannibalize people? Some people even suspect that the Evil Spirit Lord developed the Evil Spirit Secret Tradition on some twisted and contaminated secret treasures, which led to the birth of the Evil Spirit Society.”
Quins was silent: "How come I didn't know you had such a realization?"
William sighed slightly: "It's just the people in the family who let me see their faces clearly."
Quince: "Is there... a perfect secret treasure?"
William gathered his energy: "It is said that there are no more than two palms in the world."
"Haha. The secret treasure is really a heart-warming treasure." Quins thought, if he could have had a secret treasure as a trump card before, even if there were such side effects, he might have used it. After all, he had to live to do more.
Many things.
William handed over two blueprints and a palm-sized knife and said: "Now, these are the alchemy blueprints for level 0 demon hunting bullets and level 0 burning bullets, as well as level 0 psychic carving knife. You can start with level 0 rare objects.
Start practicing. If you want alchemy blueprints after level 1, I also have them, but you need to buy them with money."
Quins took the alchemy drawings and the carving knife and said: "It should be." The brothers settled the accounts clearly, not to mention that the two were just allies, and they had to settle the accounts clearly. With the alchemy drawings and carving knife sponsored by William, it was already the end of benevolence and justice.
.
"Oh, and here's the title deed to the red house. Take it." William handed Quins a hard-covered red book again.
Quins was not polite. He had worked hard to get this. If he had made a mistake yesterday, his life would have been at stake.
After completing his enlightenment, Quins took dozens of boxes of bullets for practice before leaving William's alchemy workshop.
