Chapter 168 Search for Legacy
Milim opened the book and stared at the pages. "Are you sure it's blank?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
Leon, who had walked up beside her, leaned in to look. "Well, it was just yesterday," he replied—only to pause as new text suddenly appeared on the book's first page.
"I guess this is the next step to finding him," he muttered as he began reading aloud.
[Yo hoooo, Alchemy King here!]
[Congrats on reaching the 10th floor!]
[Now, all you have to do is master the Alchemy Legacy I've given you and then uncover the hidden truth behind the secret boxes and vials. Only then will you find me.]
[Best of luck!]
[By the way, this letter lasts only one month. If you don't complete it in time, the book will burn itself up.]
Leon closed the book, exhaling. "Well... that's a deadline we can't ignore."
"So now I have to master Alchemy up to Tier V, huh?" Leon mumbled.
The Alchemy King's Legacy, which was actually a Tier XV Saint Legacy, was divided into three parts, each containing one-third of its full power. Currently, Leon had access to the legacy up to Tier V.
"I can help. I'm an alchemist, after all," Roselia said, nodding. "And we also have the Abode." Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire
She gestured toward the Alchemist's Abode, a curious-looking cube that, when unfolded, transformed into a fully furnished alchemical workspace. Inside, it contained state-of-the-art tools and a laboratory designed specifically for alchemy.
"Well, let's start now," Leon said, and Roselia nodded in agreement.
Leon closed his eyes, picturing the potion as a life-giving elixir. The resistance faded, and the mixture began to glow faintly. After a few moments, the liquid settled into a golden hue.
Roselia took a vial and scooped up the potion. "Not bad. It's not perfect, but you've taken the first step toward high-tier alchemy. This process is what separates an amateur from a master."
Leon wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned. "Alright, what's next?"
Roselia smirked. "Now, we push it further. Let's try crafting a Tier IV Elixir. You up for the challenge?"
Leon cracked his knuckles. "Bring it on."
Days turned into nights as Leon immersed himself in the depths of alchemy, his hands stained with rare ingredients, his mind filled with endless formulas, and his mana constantly flowing through concoctions of increasing complexity. The Alchemist's Abode became his world—a sanctum of knowledge where failures were stepping stones and successes were milestones.
Day 1: Mastering Essence Control
Leon's first struggle was controlling the essence of ingredients. Roselia had him repeatedly craft simple potions, but with a catch—he had to guide each element's essence into harmony before the final mixture stabilized.
"Again!" Roselia ordered, tossing a vial into the bin. "You're letting the essence dissipate. Feel it, control it!"
Leon gritted his teeth and started over. He dipped his fingers into the Phoenix Ash, channeling a steady stream of mana into the dust, making it glow faintly before adding it to the cauldron. This time, the resistance was lesser, the potion forming with a stable golden shimmer.
Roselia smirked. "Better. Keep practicing."
Day 3: Understanding Catalyst Reactions
By the third day, the true complexity of alchemy began revealing itself. Potions were not just a blend of ingredients—they were reactions, delicate and volatile.
Roselia handed Leon a pale blue stone, pulsing faintly. "This is an Arcane Catalyst. It can enhance effects... or destroy your potion if misused. Time it wrong, and the whole mixture will explode."
