Chapter 362 Silver Ping Five
Time flies, and ten days have passed without realizing it.
During these ten days, the three apprentices, Gillan, Lemay and Galken, lived in the wooden house. At most, they went for a walk in the surrounding woods or by the stream.
I heard from Mrs. McCullar that there were actually wild animals near the wooden house, but the three of them had never encountered them. At most, they only saw some small animals such as hares, pheasants, and squirrels.
Both Flamel and Garken were physically weak people without the strength to restrain a chicken, but Gillan used the stones he picked up casually to kill a few hares with his fingers and gave everyone extra food.
The exposed hand was actually nothing, but it made the noble girl Flamel surprised and exclaimed again and again.
Galken watched silently, quite envious, and when he went to bed at night, he tentatively asked about the technique of throwing stones.
Jilan just smiled and made some casual remarks, asking him to eat more and exercise more.
The study life in the wooden house is peaceful but not boring.
Learning alchemy always feels novel.
In addition to helping their teacher, Mrs. McCarra, with chores and doing some physical work, Gillan's three apprentices are constantly drawing and memorizing basic alchemy formations to deeply understand its principles.
In addition to checking everyone's progress and answering questions during dinner every evening, Mrs. McCullagh usually "resides" in the attic of the main house doing research and rarely shows up.
Every two or three days, Flamel's family would send someone to deliver some supplies by carriage. Mrs. McCarra did not refuse, because this also saved her the time required for purchasing.
This evening.
While dining, Mrs. McCullagh checked the study progress of the three of them.
Gillan was the first to show off his learning results.
He dipped the quill pen given by his wife into ink and drew nine basic alchemy arrays on the parchment paper in one go. The lines were perfect, the characters were clear, and the positions were accurate.
Immediately afterwards, Jilan kept moving and added four more complex alchemy formations.
He used fluent Roman American to describe the effects, principles and uses of these alchemy formations. As for the four alchemy formations that were not within the scope of Mrs. McCarra’s teaching, he learned by analogy and without a teacher. high-order structure.
“Very good.” Upon seeing this, Mrs. McCullagh praised without hesitation. "It's amazing to be able to achieve this in just ten days. I originally expected it would take a month, but I didn't expect it to be so fast."
"Especially these four more complex alchemy formations, although they have flaws and omissions, they are still effective... You are indeed very talented in mysticism, Jilan."
"Madam Miao Zan , This is all the result of your patient teaching and solving my doubts."
Jilan bowed his head slightly and said respectfully.
In fact, the reason why he can learn so quickly is because of his solid "foundation".
The "foundation" here does not refer to mysticism, but to his body and his brain.
Because he is a fourth-level long-lived person and has mastered the "White Cross Body Training Technique", Jilan's brain has undergone secondary development, and his perception, memory, thinking ability and spirituality are much higher than ordinary people.
To learn a new knowledge on this basis, the efficiency should not be too high. Gillan easily mastered the knowledge taught by Mrs. McCalla without even using his own mysterious points.
"Haha, no need to be modest."
Mrs. McCarra shook her head and said softly.
“The faster you learn, the better, and the happier I am.”
As she said that, she turned to look at the other two apprentices.
In an instant, Flamel and Garken's faces tensed up, feeling an unspeakable pressure. And this pressure all stems from that talented companion, Gilan Iros.
The two of them showed off their learning results one after another.
The nine basic alchemy arrays drawn by Flamel are all qualified, with no major flaws, and he can also clearly explain their working principles.
But Garken's performance was slightly worse.
Among the nine basic alchemy formations, one had an obvious omission and forgot to draw two key symbols. As for the description of the principles and uses, they are a bit stumbling, as if they were memorized by rote without really being understood.
However, Mrs. McCullagh did not show disappointment or blame him. Instead, she said:
"Great, Mr. Galken. I believe that if you consolidate for a while, you can Master them all."
As she said that, she looked at Lemay again and praised:
"Miss Lemay is also very good, I am proud of you."
< br>
"Thank you for your teaching, madam."
The two of them could not help but sigh in relief, and at the same time felt unparalleled joy. I also felt more motivated to study alchemy.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. McCarra took out some materials such as pewter, gold powder, mercury, sage and sulfur, and said:
"The formal depiction of the alchemy array needs to be based on There are many types of materials to choose according to their specific uses, and they are extremely variable... Of course, there are also many precautions, each of which is a valuable experience summed up by countless alchemists through repeated failures."
"I'll start with the first basic alchemical formation, the Triangle of Mars. Please listen carefully..."
"Yes, ma'am."
…
…
Mrs. McCarra's lecture lasted for nearly two hours. The three apprentices used quills to Write down all the contents on parchment for review and consolidation.
But in fact, Gilan was just pretending, because he only listened to them once and had memorized them all in his mind.
"Okay, that's it for today."
Mrs. McCarra smiled.
“Thank you for your teaching, madam.”
The three apprentices respectfully thanked the silver-robed lady.
The lady smiled and added:
"Don't think that depicting the alchemy array is complicated and troublesome. This is a necessary foundation. Only by mastering it proficiently can we continue to simplify it in the future. Even with the assistance of the 'alchemy catalyst', we can create it anytime, anywhere in a very short time. Call out the alchemy array."
"A very short time?" Flamel was a little surprised. "How fast is that?"
I just heard from Mrs. McCullagh that it would take an average alchemist at least an hour to formally draw an alchemical formation.
Beginners like them may not be able to draw a complete alchemy array even if it takes longer, perhaps a whole day.
“If you do it to the extreme, it will take less than one second.”
Mrs. McCullar laughed. "?!" Flamel and Galken widened their eyes, looking very surprised. "One second...less than?!"
"Yes, just like that."
As she said that, Mrs. McCullar raised her hand.
Buzz——
I saw a silver alchemy array emerging out of thin air in the middle of the table.
It looks very simple, just the structure of a basic alchemy array, but if you look closely, you will find that it is filled with densely packed fine symbols.
Mrs. McCalla moved her fingers slightly, pointing towards a Davidia tree not far away.
The silver alchemy array disappeared in mid-air and reappeared on the surface of the tree trunk. In an instant, part of the center of the tree was missing out of thin air, and a square hole of about ten centimeters was hollowed out.
And Mrs. McCullagh tapped the table again.
Tuk Tuk.
Silver light suddenly appeared on the table, and at the same time, a stack of wooden bowls appeared.
"This...is it transformed from the material of that tree?"
Lemay asked with a shocked look on his face.
"That's right." Mrs. McCullagh nodded. "Of course it can be like this..."
As she spoke, she knocked on the table again.
Tuk Tuk.
Under the stack of wooden bowls, silver light suddenly appeared, accompanied by the phantom outline of the alchemy array flashing.
The wooden bowl turned into powder in an instant, and then gathered into an iron hatchet.
Mrs. McCalla continued to knock on the table amid the incredulous expressions of the three people.
Tuk Tuk.
Silver light flashed, and the hatchet turned into a pearl as thick as a thumb.
Tuk Tuk.
The pearl turned into a piece of bread again.
Bread turns into leather.
The leather coat turned into a bronze pelican statue again...
The three of them stared intently, with deep awe and admiration in their eyes.
Finally, Mrs. McCalla waved her hand.
The bronze statue on the table turned into powder and flew away, and the gap where the Davidia tree had been was filled in and restored to its original state.
“Madam, this is simply a miracle!”
Flamel exclaimed.
“Can anything be created?”
“It is not creation, but 'decomposition' and 'reconstruction'... Of course, this process seems simple, but in fact it is extremely complex and requires Add the corresponding 'alchemical medicine' to assist and catalyze it."
Mrs. McCarrah smiled.
Garken's Adam's apple rolled, and his cheeks turned red with excitement.
And Jilan couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling shocked and longing in her heart.
His original knowledge of alchemy was very shallow. After formally learning these basic knowledge from Mrs. McCalla, Gillan realized how powerful his teacher Para Celsus really was.
‘With “Bailan”, I will be able to make rapid progress in a very short period of time and master a solid foundation... After watching the movie, I will learn more profound alchemy knowledge from Teacher Parra! ’
Jilan thought secretly.
…
…
“Hey, Jilan, show me the four alchemy formations you have researched.”
The next morning, three apprentices were picking up dead branches in the forest, and the noble girl Flamel said with her hands on her hips.
Jilan ignored her, squatting on the ground and tying the picked branches tightly with hemp rope.
“Hey! I’m talking to you!”
Flamel was a little angry, frowning and aggravating his tone.
For these days, she has shown a polite and sensible appearance in front of Mrs. McCullar, but when getting along with the two male apprentices, she showed her aristocratic arrogance and squeamishness to the fullest.
Garken was so eaten by her that he didn't dare to resist at all. He always obeyed and hit wherever she pointed. He was quite obedient.
But what makes Flamel feel depressed is that this Guillain Yilos basically ignores her, which makes her extremely frustrated.
"Miss Flamel, why should I show you my research?"
Without looking back, Ji Lan stood up with the bundle of firewood and said calmly.
“Because we are all Mrs. McCalla’s apprentices, we should help each other and make progress together!”
LeMay still put his hands on his hips and snorted.
Gilan shook his head.
"Then why don't you do your own work and give all the work to Garken? Is this also your way of helping him?"
Hearing this, Galken, who was tying up two bundles of firewood at the side, was stunned for a moment, then giggled twice and smoothed things over:
"Brother Gillan, it's okay, Miss Flamel is a woman, and she is also a noble..."
