Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 373 Alchemy Synthesis
Shi Feng gently tapped the magic crystal in his left hand with the Sage's Stone in his right.
The blood-red Sage's Stone emitted a faint red glow, and the magic crystal in Shi Feng's left hand turned into lime and scattered on the ground, leaving nothing behind.
A magic crystal worth 8 silver coins was gone just like that…
In God's Domain now, 8 silver coins was almost the daily income of an elite team killing monsters in the wild.
However, Shi Feng didn't even blink. Without a word, he picked up the second magic crystal from the table and began the element refinement again.
But two seconds later, another pile of lime scattered on the ground…
After trying hundreds of times without a single success, Shi Feng stopped the element refinement and pondered.
"Could it be that element refinement doesn't work?" Shi Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the lime scattered on the ground.
The Zero Wing Guild had fewer members, so the accumulated magic crystals were not very plentiful, only a little over six hundred. If over a hundred magic crystals didn't produce a single magic crystal stone, then gathering 21 magic crystal stones would be impossible.
"No, the probability must be too low. Do I need to increase the probability?" Shi Feng remembered very clearly that magic crystal stone production areas were located in areas rich in magic crystal resources. However, because the players' levels were too low, they couldn't go to these places, so the only source of magic crystals was dungeon drops.
"Magic crystal stones are the product of highly aggregated magic crystals. In theory, there shouldn't be any problem with refining. Could it be that the quality of the magic crystals is too low?"
With this thought, Shi Feng took out another magic crystal to try.
This time, after clicking on refinement, Shi Feng stared intently at the changes in the magic crystal's refinement.
After God's Domain evolved, both forging and alchemy had become more realistic. Moreover, Shi Feng was now using a virtual reality pod, with a virtual degree of 97%, so he could completely see some of the reasons for the failure from the magic crystal's refinement process.
However, the refinement speed was extremely fast. Even with Shi Feng's superhuman dynamic vision, it was only a flash, making it difficult to see anything.
"System, turn on full simulation mode for system recording," Shi Feng suddenly said.
System: System identification in progress, please wait…
System: The port used by the player is detected as a virtual pod, which can support full simulation mode.
System: Full simulation mode has been enabled.
After the system turned on full simulation mode, Shi Feng picked up a magic crystal again and refined it once. As expected, it still turned into a pile of lime and scattered on the ground.
"System, open the full simulation recording," Shi Feng said, not surprised by this.
A 3D holographic image appeared in front of Shi Feng, showing the scene of Shi Feng refining the magic crystal.
In addition to allowing players to experience 97% virtuality, the virtual reality pod could also turn on full simulation mode. This meant that the videos recorded by players would no longer be flat but holographic, a scaled-down realistic reproduction. This was a function that ordinary virtual helmets and advanced virtual helmets did not have at all.
In the previous life of God's Domain, all life occupation players such as forging masters would buy a virtual reality pod. The purpose was for this holographic recording function, which could realistically reproduce what the players recorded, allowing players to fully experience things that flat recordings could not, including the refinement process.
Besides these, the biggest use was enemy analysis.
You could record videos of battles with enemies to study their fighting habits, defense, attack, dodge, and other very detailed movements. This had an amazing effect on dealing with enemies in the future.
By analyzing the enemy, you could find their weaknesses and bad habits. When facing the enemy, you could specifically target these hard-to-detect weaknesses and bad habits. Even if your combat power was inferior to the opponent, you could still win. This kind of thing often happened in God's Domain, especially during duels between experts.
At the same time, you could use holographic recordings to review your own battles, identify areas for improvement, and come up with other better methods from time to time. It was one of the best ways for players to improve rapidly.
This was also one of the main reasons why players using virtual reality pods improved so quickly.
Shi Feng had done countless self-examinations like this in the past to continuously improve his combat skills. If he had used a virtual reality pod a few years earlier, his strength would probably have been even greater. Unfortunately, the establishment of Youying only cost a few million back then, and a virtual reality pod cost three million. There was no way Youying could afford a virtual reality pod, and even if they could afford it, it wouldn't have been his turn at the time.
Afterward, Shi Feng adjusted the holographic recording and directly slowed down the refinement process so that he could fully observe the entire refinement process and not waste magic crystals testing his eyesight time and time again.
"As expected, the magic concentration of a magic crystal is too low. Even if you refine it ten thousand times, you can't get a complete magic crystal stone," Shi Feng finally discovered the reason after observing it dozens of times.
Although he discovered the reason, Shi Feng had no way to solve it. In God's Domain, magic crystals were all of the same quality, with no distinction between high and low. This meant that magic crystals could not be refined into magic crystal stones at all…
This made Shi Feng feel troubled.
If he couldn't refine them, he would have to start from other places.
The only way was to synthesize them, combining the scattered magic power of the magic crystals into one, condensing it to a sufficient degree, and naturally turning it into a magic crystal stone.
However, alchemy synthesis was easier said than done.
Even alchemy grandmasters found it extremely difficult to perform alchemy synthesis, and the cost was far greater than the items synthesized, so no one would do this kind of losing business.
Shi Feng was only a forging apprentice and could not possibly have this ability.
The Sage's Stone was a sacred alchemy object and did have this ability, but the current Sage's Stone was only an incomplete product and could only be used for alchemy conversion and element refinement, not for synthesis.
"That's right, one Sage's Stone is not enough, so what about two?" Shi Feng suddenly thought that he had previously obtained another fragment of the Sage's Stone from the God Tomb.
The Sage's Stone was divided into five parts, so its ability was greatly reduced, but the Sage's Stone was originally one entity. As long as all five parts were gathered, it could be fully restored. Although Shi Feng had not gathered all five parts now, combining two parts should result in greater power than one part.
"I can only try it."
Shi Feng had no other choice. His only hope was the Sage's Stone.
The Sage's Stone was divided into five parts, each with a different size and different abilities. The Sage's Stone that Shi Feng obtained from the God Tomb was smaller and could only be used for alchemy conversion, so Shi Feng did not come over.
So, Shi Feng rushed directly to the bank warehouse, found the other Sage's Stone, and rushed back to the forging room without stopping.
In the forging room, Shi Feng carefully pieced together the broken parts of the Sage's Stone.
System: Do you want to fuse the two Sage's Stones?
"Fuse," Shi Feng directly clicked the fusion button.
Instantly, the two Sage's Stones turned into a pool of blood-colored liquid and fused into one, becoming a blood-colored round bead the size of half a fist, no longer an angular, uneven stone block.
After the fusion, Shi Feng immediately checked to see if the power of the Sage's Stone was stronger.
