Chapter 65: God-like existence!

Nether Spirit Tower, second floor.

A guest room remodeled into an alchemy lab.

On the long table, a crucible the size of a football, its bottom fire lit.

Beside it, the 'source-energy steam engine' that has completed source-energy charging is running, transferring part of the converted thermal energy via the resonating crystal into the crucible.

Soon, inside the crucible, the puffy flame turned into a thick, sharp fire tongue as thick as a thumb, rising over two meters high.

Ta Ke looked curiously at the device before him, about the size of a computer case, with an extraordinarily complex structure, the 'source-energy steam engine'.

Its whole body is a matte black luster, with six small source-energy extractors on the outside.

Inside should be a high-pressure activated source-energy 'spell closed loop', maintained by solid-state supernatural traits.

Activating to obtain source-energy steam, following the industrial-grade spell circuitry, completes the output of various energy forms.

The convertible energies are varied, depending on what kind of supernatural-trait conversion device is matched.

Thermal energy, ice energy, wind energy, kinetic energy, flight, invisibility, and so on are all possible.

Thanks to the source-energy steam engine.

The rumbling of steam trains, steamships, and even steam airships echoes almost everywhere in the world.

It is said that in those prosperous, high-level supernatural worlds.

【Steam Floating Island】, such miraculous existences, have already been realized by the people there.

The outside world sounds quite wonderful.

But chaos has always been woven through the fabric of the world.

Pirate gangs, sky pirate gangs, appear endlessly all over the world.

On the 'Sailiangsi Duchy' steam newspaper.

Every so often, they announce the results of cracking down on pirates and sky pirates.

Together with the high bounties on pirates and sky pirates.

One can also see to some extent that the outside world is not as wonderful as imagined.

The essence of alchemy for supernatural materials is to remove harmful impurities from the materials, and even to a certain extent replenish beneficial supernatural traits in the materials.

After examining the flame, the alchemy apprentice Ta Ni Lu explained the basic knowledge of alchemy to Ta Ke.

Remember, high temperature will melt the material itself, while also greatly activating supernatural traits.

If not mastered properly…… then……

"Explosion!" Ta Ke replied from the side.

"Yes, explosion." Ta Ni Lu nodded.

"Precise control of flame is a prerequisite for alchemy."

"Many joke that alchemy is just burning a furnace, but I can tell you clearly, this is no joke; the essence of alchemy is burning a furnace."

"All those complex crafts, techniques, means, everything, are to purify the material's essential supernatural traits."

"Or to fuse supernatural traits in a more perfect proportion."

"All of this requires matching with the flame's temperature."

"Even by matching different supernatural traits, condensing the special 【Supernatural Flame】 for smelting coordination."

"If you cannot precisely control the flame's temperature."

"Even if you are given the best craft process, you cannot become an alchemist."

Ta Ke nodded.

Although Ta Ke also learned this information through Yi Deng·Ge Laisidun's alchemy notes and the corresponding alchemy books.

But what are the key points, what needs attention, and many small tricks, experiences, etc.

These require hands-on practical guidance from an alchemist in order to learn and master them better.

Although Ta Ni Lu is just an apprentice, he teaches for free, and that alone is enough.

"Spirit Touch Perception!"

Ta Ke placed one hand on the source-energy contact surface of the source-energy storage cabin.

【Precision·Correction】

The source-energy steam engine, being slightly aged and having a somewhat disordered, rumbling source-energy supply, instantly became smooth, natural, and smooth.

"Huh?"

Ta Ni Lu beside him noticed this.

Ta Ni Lu examined closely.

He found that at this moment, the source-energy steam engine's internal furnace operation, source-energy supply, resonant vibration, energy output, etc., had become nearly perfect.

"This……"

Ta Ni Lu looked at Ta Ke with a face full of surprise.

"This small, precision source-energy steam engine is an old piece of junk that the Nether Spirit Tower eliminated, who knows how many hands it's passed through."

"I'm not even sure if it can be used."

"You…… how did you do that?"

After thinking, Ta Ke answered truthfully.

"I have a talent for precision, and the ability of Spirit Touch."

"Precision? Spirit Touch?"

Ta Ni Lu frowned slightly.

"Contacting the source-energy steam engine, transmitting precision traits?"

"But it shouldn't be enough to let this old source-energy steam engine run so perfectly!"

"This kid, indeed very unscientific!" Tanilu muttered to himself.

"Spirit-touch ability combined with precise talent is indeed more suitable for alchemy."

At this moment, Tanilu also became a bit serious.

"So, you better teach well." Take smiled.

After all, once you leave La Mo'er and walk the supernatural world, even explore foreign lands, having many skills never hurts.

After looking at Take and then at the old source-energy steam engine of the N-th spring of hair change that Take controlled, no one knew how long this thing could still last.

Tanilu also didn't waste time, began to explain in detail.

By controlling the supply of source energy well, you can raise or lower the flame temperature.

Yes, just like that.

Don't suddenly release an energy segment; you need to let it ease down smoothly, so the flame temperature change will be very natural.

As Tanilu's explanation went on,

Soon, the flame temperature was perfectly controlled in Take's hands.

After just a few minutes, Take could almost perfectly control the flame temperature, and Tanilu was somewhat stunned.

Could it be that he's really a genius?

You should know.

Back then, to control fire, he just burned the furnace for half a year.

Even now, he might not be able to reach Take's level of control.

What's next?

Feeling the temperature precisely under his own control, Take was actually quite calm.

"Take out a wizard trait and put it into the smelting crucible."

"Keep the temperature at the critical point where the material melts."

"This can smelt away certain contaminant traits and non-wizard traits."

"Let the essential traits of the wizard sequence become pure and natural."

"By influencing the sequence with source-energy temperature, thereby eliminating non-wizard traits." Take naturally expounded the basic mnemonic of alchemy regarding sequence smelting.

"Yes!" Tanilu nodded.

Take's eyes narrowed slightly as he examined the wizard sequence crystal that was gradually becoming active before him.

Inside, a portion of the contamination was indeed burned, while some non-wizard traits were also removed.

But… there remained many supernatural traits that could not be eliminated, stubbornly lodging there.

Even part of the pollution source lodged there, unable to be expelled or burned for the moment.

After about five or six minutes, looking at those non-wizard traits that seemed impossible to remove by fire,

Take then slowly opened his mouth to ask.

"Some harmful traits can be expelled, but what about the harmful parts that cannot be expelled or burned by source-energy firepower?"

"Over the top!" Tanilu looked at the wizard traits burning in the flame and replied.

"Removing those imperceptible harmful supernatural traits is something only true alchemy masters can do."

"As an alchemy apprentice, what you need to do is to control the fire well."

"If you perfect the basic smelting, you can basically reach the level of a first-rank alchemist."

"Hmm… your wizard trait seems to have been mostly smelted."

Take's eyes narrowed slightly as he calmly said: "It seems almost enough, but… far from sufficient."

Taking a deep breath, Take silently began to undulate the veins of those harmful substances.

With a light flick of Take,

A strand of extremely stubborn harmful substance trait was pulled out.

On the microscopic level, that strand of supernatural trait was instantly taken away by the flame.

Interesting!

Take chuckled lightly.

【Precision Correction】

By letting Take perfectly conform to the world's contextual trajectory, modifications can be made.

Before, Take's crude applications consumed a lot of energy and were not very effective.

And now.

Take seemed to have found the correct way to unlock 【Precision Correction】.

"Precision Correction is originally an operation of precision and finesse."

"The effect at the macroscopic dimension level is obviously inferior to this fine, minute observation operation."

"When I previously explored the Origin Dark Sea at the microscopic level, I should have realized this."

"In alchemy, which requires understanding and observing supernatural traits and finely controlling the whole situation, my Precision Correction is practically—a divine existence."
