Chapter 1087: Chapter 1089: Philosopher’s Stone

On the altar’s central candle, the flame’s wick was showing the image of a vibrant, youthful witch.

"Honorable Stigmata Sorcerers, is there anything you need my help with?"

With crescent-shaped eyes like two moons, the flame lampshine Sorcerer asked with a gentle and amiable demeanor, making one feel a certain fondness, seemingly the soul template for all Smart Mechanical Puppets.

"Take out the task rewards mentioned on the scroll."

The Mountain Savage Strongman tossed the Mission Scroll directly over, and as the red, yellow, and blue strands of light converged in the hall, the flame lampshine Sorcerer’s face stiffly raised again, revealing a smile.

"The scroll task confirmed authentic, a total of 7,500 grams of the Philosopher’s Stone, 1,500 grams per person, would you like to confirm immediate collection?"

"Confirmed."

Amid a wave of Spectral Space-Time fluctuations, Green, with three-colored light eyes, was slightly surprised. It turned out to be the utilization of Dimensional Gap Spectral Space-Time, indeed involving Dimensional Gap in the highest level knowledge utilization within the Wizard World.

A flash of spatial fluctuation, and Xiao Ba also appeared.

"Damn, this old bastard, actually shared the Dimensional Gap utilization method with the Holy Tower Book, otherwise how could gossip say this old guy has the ability to communicate with Dimensional Gap, claiming Master Eight is shouldering the fate of the Wizard World’s rise and fall, all bullshit!"

Xiao Ba’s appearance drew everyone’s gaze, especially due to its "brazen" words, the other three showed little reaction, while the mechanical Stigmata Sorcerer sneered.

"What are you, to speak so disrespectfully towards the great Moonlake of True Spirit Sorcerer!"

"Master Eight is the great Steel Badge Myna of the Wizard World, back in the day when Master Eight dominated and traversed the Wizard World, you weren’t even born yet. What’s wrong with me saying two words about that old guy, Master Eight hasn’t said enough yet, woo..."

Xiao Ba was thrown into the Dimensional Gap by Green.

"This is my soul partner, Eight Rainbows Nevis, although its words can be unpleasant, it is indeed an ancient Steel Badge Myna handed down. The great Moonlake of True Spirit Sorcerer recognizes it, please don’t take offense, as I can’t do much about it either."

With that, Green took his share of the Philosopher’s Stone and smiled apologetically at the group.

"Then I shall take advantage of this time to prepare. Regarding the Destiny Box Technique, I’m not very familiar with soul utilization in this aspect, haha..."

After Green left, the tension eased somewhat.

"How do you perceive the battle strength of the Oblivion Tower?"

The Fire Traveling Sword suddenly asked, scanning the three present with light eyes under the Metal Helmet, while the stubborn dragon on his shoulder kept spewing flames from its nostrils and laughed heartily: "That Wizard is hard to say, but that bird and parrot guy earlier couldn’t even fill the gap between my teeth."

"Very strong, should have practiced the Self-sealing Technique."

The multicolored simulation responded in a low voice, then gradually faded and blended into the surroundings, disappearing from everyone’s perception.

"I shall head back as well. With these Philosopher’s Stones, my long-planned mechanical Sorcery Instrument materials are now completely ready."

"Ha-ha-ha, of course, the stronger the better, crunch crunch."

Chewing on the Philosopher’s Stone, the Mountain Savage Strongman also left alone.

"Cackle, cackle, never underestimate any Elemental Wizard. That mask on the Oblivion Tower is highly oppressive, and the Magic Wand in its hand is definitely no ordinary item."

The Decay Catastrophe Stigmata Sorcerer laughed deeply, leaving the hall as well.

...

In the Space Fortress Stigma Hall, Green took out the Stigmata Life Casket and Philosopher’s Stone, placing them on the experimental table.

Then, spatial distortion occurred on his shoulder, and Xiao Ba emerged from the Dimensional Gap, Green muttered without turning his head, "In front of the mechanical Stigmata Sorcerer, speak of the living Moonlake of True Spirit Sorcerer, you careless fellow."

After pausing, Green continued, "Now is not like a time of peace, at the critical point of civilization war, keep a low profile."

"Alright alright, I understand, hum, you don’t know the dirt between this old bastard and that bat."

Xiao Ba flapped its wings and then also turned its gaze to the Life Casket and Philosopher’s Stone on the experimental table. At this moment, Green took out the Crystal Ball, in which Night Shadow Sachi’s figure appeared.

"Stigmata Sorcerer of the Oblivion Tower, I’ve already entrusted the task of finding Kretia to the Sea King Ritual Base."

"Good."

Green acknowledged and sighed: "Understood, you and Lulianmian prepare here, follow me on the mission in a month."

After the Crystal Ball communication closed, Green first picked up the Life Casket and pondered deeply.

According to some soul utilization books, the basic composition of the Destiny Box Technique and the Sorcerer’s Tower Source of Magic Power regarding soul utilization had certain similarities.

With the Destiny Box Technique, although it may weaken some Soul Force, it equates to having a second life, capable of being reborn at the Life Casket’s location.

However!

Executing this witchcraft is not without cost, and the biggest cost is the Life Casket itself; if anything happens to it, the Caster will surely die. Furthermore, after rebirth, there is an unavoidable defect.

In the Endless World, how can there be an absolutely safe place?

After much hesitation, Green ultimately put down the Life Casket again, shook his head, and tucked it away.

"What is this?"

Xiao Ba looked at the pink crystal on the testing table, asking Green.

"Philosopher’s Stone."

Green’s response shocked Xiao Ba, caught off guard and in disbelief.

"Philosopher’s Stone, wow, the Wizard World already has this thing!?"

"It is merely named Philosopher’s Stone; whether it truly aligns with the legendary Philosopher’s Stone in Alchemy is uncertain. After all, according to Alchemy’s legend, the Philosopher’s Stone is something that disrupts Balance Rules, a time equivalent, allowing low-value materials of the same element to, when added to the Philosopher’s Stone, yield high-value materials of the same quality same element; if this really is the Philosopher’s Stone then..."

Green congealed an ice block, then took out a silver coin and a lead core, separating a small piece from the pink crystal.

According to the Alchemy table of the same element, these three substances were materials with the same element as Mithril, so adding the Philosopher’s Stone should result in Mithril!

Buzz!

"Hiss..."

An eerie fluctuation, however, under the watchful eyes of Green’s Face of Truth, was astonishing.

This pink crystal surprisingly engaged World Origin Rules, that under the Eye of the World on the Face of Truth, surfaced some unknown Rune System on the world canvas, which rendered some unidentified form fluctuations precisely. It was these that constituted everything in the Endless World.

And at this moment, this pink crystal unexpectedly inched these runes into change; no wonder it’s named Philosopher’s Stone by the Wizard World.

"Wow, it actually, it actually really became Mithril!"

Xiao Ba pointed with its wings at the Mithril block on the test bench, shouting loudly.

Green’s breath was slightly rushed, suddenly opened his mouth, and extruded a soul fragment, containing a trace of negligible consciousness, precisely the shard of Laphie’s soul carefully collected by Green before her death, always preserved.

In haste, Green placed the Philosopher’s Stone near, with three-colored light eyes fixated.

Long after, yet no reaction occurred...
