Chapter 4042: Alchemist's Guess

Xia De had devoured "Pseudo-human Mother Fluid." Although this didn't make him a pseudo-human, he indeed had the power to influence low-level pseudo-humans because of this. But what Xia De was about to do at this moment was not to rely on bloodline power to influence that flesh and blood, and even less to extract the other party's Seed of Life.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, praising in his heart:

"May the Red Moon be with me."

After praying, his right hand raised as if pinching something, and the scarlet moonlight quickly gathered toward his hand:

"Magic: Flower of Corrupt Moon!"

"Wait, Mr. Red Stone, what are you going to do?"

Sensing the extremely dangerous power, the alchemist stood up immediately, but Xia De ignored him. As he twisted his right thumb and index finger together, the slender flower branch appeared first, and then with the feeling of decay, the moonlight constructed the scarlet flower symbolizing flesh decay and flesh distortion in his hand.

Except for Xia De, the other five people cast spells together to cover up the element reaction triggered when this high-ring magic was used, but the eyes of the five people were all attracted by the flower on Xia De's fingertips.

The scarlet color represented the curse of the Red Moon, but this curse attracted the flesh and blood lives to instinctively gaze at it. This was one of the most essential powers of the Red Moon. Xia De hoped that the power Miss Feilianna let him learn was this kind of power.

"And this—Life Tempering."

A small amount of red light spots floated around Xia De, and were absorbed by him as he breathed. Then the Seed of Life was injected into that scarlet moon flower.

The color of the moon flower became even more vivid, but the flower bud was still closed at this moment, and everyone was looking forward to its blooming.

"This is a range-based high-ring magic, I will control the power slightly."

Xia De explained, twisted the flower branch with two fingers, and the scarlet flower bloomed in his hand.

The color of the flower was not intense, and although its posture when blooming was as stretched as an ordinary flower, it still had a strange sticky feeling.

Even though it was daytime, the scarlet light of the flower still illuminated a small area centered on Xia De. And the fishy and sweet smell when the flower bloomed made people feel instinctively uncomfortable, but they inexplicably wanted to smell its scent again.

This was also the first time Xia De officially released this magic. He found that controlling the power of the magic was not very difficult.

It was just that after being endowed with the Seed of Life, the gorgeous and weird degree of this corrupt moon flower was far stronger than what Danister described. So after the flower bloomed, Xia De quickly aimed it at the target, and then blew a breath lightly.

"Shh~"

The blooming flower detached from the flower branch and flew forward. Because this flower was actually not a physical entity, it easily passed through the bottle body of the beaker and merged into the blood-colored meat ball that was still hitting the beaker crazily.

The meat ball was still hitting violently, but the blood color on its surface turned pitch black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its movement speed became slower and slower. The flesh buds in the grooves on the surface swung wildly, but could not stop the black pus flowing out of the flesh and blood.

Half a minute later, only a mass of thick and corrupt blood remained in the bottle.

The whisper elements still did not disappear completely. Although the flesh and blood of the pseudo-human had completely decayed, the pus after decay still had the characteristics of pseudo-human blood, and it needed to be further harmlessly treated to be considered completely eliminating the hidden danger. It was just that compared to the original mass of flesh and blood, the difficulty of dealing with this pool of pus was much lower.

Xia De was very satisfied with the effect of this spell. He continued to twist the flower branch, letting the flower branch turn into fragments of red moon light and dissipate in the air:

"This should be fine, right?"

He asked Mr. Mercury, who then sat down again, his tone becoming very respectful:

"This is no problem. Mr. Red Stone, I didn't expect your research in the direction of flesh decay to be so deep. Although I didn't recognize what magic you used, the magic points directly to the essence of 'flesh decay,' and that decaying red moon light is truly charming."

Xia De smiled reservedly:

"My research in this area is limited to this. In fact, compared to flesh decay, I am better at shaping flesh organs. Of course, my attainments in this area cannot be compared with Ms. Red Stone of the previous generation."

"Really humble. I also brought that part of the alchemy notes. You can take them away together later. Besides that, I also have some clues I want to share with you.

After Ms. Red Stone disappeared back then, we went to the laboratory where she last appeared to investigate and found many eye specimens. Some eyes were the eyes of members who had already died in her group, and some eyes were manufactured by her through human alchemy technology."

Mr. Mercury said:

"Those eyes still had vitality, so we preserved them. For more than twenty years, most of the eyes maintained their original appearance. But after a series of events occurred recently, we found that some of the eyes possessed the ability to store 'twisted Seed of Life'."

Although they could only store the Seed of Life for a short time, this already showed that the research of Ms. Red Stone back then probably touched on some secrets related to what is happening now.

He said his true thoughts:

"The Alchemy Association is considering, if Ms. Red Stone is not dead, is it possible that she will be the Chosen One this time?"

Xia De laughed:

"You participated in the story of the Chosen One of 'Knowledge and Wisdom' in Tobesk, and suffered a big loss in the hands of the 【Truth Society】 for snatching the Wisdom Glow Stone, but you actually haven't given up yet? I heard that the 【Truth Society】 has also appeared locally."

Mr. Mercury's face remained unchanged:

"The identity of the Chosen One, even the Orthodox Church will not easily give up, let alone us. Mr. Red Stone, if Ms. Red Stone can become the Chosen One, I think this is beneficial to us and to you."

"But we don't even know if she is really dead now. I thought she was dead before, but after digging graves and excavating tombs some time ago, I found that the corpse in the coffin was fake."

Xia De shook his head:

"It's better to wait until she is found before considering other things."

"Was there anything else in the coffin?"

Mr. Mercury asked again, Xia De smiled and didn't speak, so the alchemist took out another black notebook from his pocket:

"This is Ms. Red Stone's legacy that we discovered recently. The pages in this notebook are all blank, but we are very certain that there must be something on the paper pages. Probably only the legitimate heir of Ms. Red Stone can see those contents.

Mr. Red Stone, I use this to exchange for the secrets you hold, how about it?"

Vigo's evaluation of this group of people was really correct. Xia De felt that this group of people was not wronged at all for being secretly calculated by the 【Truth Society】 two years ago:

"Of course, but the things I discovered in the coffin might not be what you need."

"It doesn't matter, alchemists always maintain curiosity."

Mr. Mercury placed the black notebook on the tea table between the two. Xia De then said:

"I discovered a stone tablet at that time, and there were two sentences on the stone tablet—【'Philosopher's Stone' is a dead end, it cannot be synthesized in the Sixth Era, this road is impassable】 【'Philosopher's Stone' is earth, 'Seed of Life' is fire, this is the path to open the original creation】."

Xia De only said the first two sentences of the five sentences, and he didn't intend to reveal the sentences involving Vigo's sister.

Mr. Mercury was thoughtful:

"Using the Philosopher's Stone to construct the body, and using the Seed of Life to shape the spirit, to give birth to spirituality, thereby creating a new life? She really chose this line of thinking."

He asked Xia De again:

"I want to ask a relatively private question, Mr. Red Stone, may I ask if you are sure who your parents are?"

"Do you suspect that I am a product of human alchemy?"

"No, no, I don't mean that, but considering the research content of Ms. Red Stone, may I ask if you possess the following characteristics: by direct contact, you can turn 【Fake Philosopher's Stone】 into water, can control the Seed of Life, can absorb..."

"She" smiled gently, and Xia De interrupted:

"If Ms. Red Stone could really create such life, then I can't think of why she would fake her death, or why she would really die. This joke is not funny, Mr. Mercury, I am a normal human."

Vigo looked at Xia De's back with a strange expression, and was considering whether Xia De was really her younger brother. Xia De reached out to take the black notebook on the tea table, while Mr. Mercury said:

"Wait a minute, I also want to know..."

He wanted to stop Xia De from taking the notebook, but just after reaching out, he saw the look in Xia De's eyes when he frowned. Xia De didn't know what the other party saw. In short, Mr. Mercury froze there.

Xia De took the notebook, flipped through it, and after confirming that it was indeed a blank page, he stood up:

"Give me those alchemy notes too. This meeting has been very rewarding. If there are traces of Ms. Red Stone later, we can still communicate with each other, but I hope that next time, there won't be any inexplicable tests."

After obtaining those extra alchemy notes, Xia De heard Vigo complaining that "these alchemists are really rude," and left the room with the two ladies.

The twelfth-ring Mr. Mercury didn't lower his head to cover his eyes until Xia De's footsteps completely disappeared. When he looked up again, his left eye had shattered into a pile of glass shards, which he held in his palm.

"Mr. Mercury, what did you see just now?"

The woman who was also twelfth-ring asked. The man holding the broken eye shook his head with lingering fear, and blood was still flowing from his left eye socket:

"Your Excellency President, it is very difficult for me to describe what I saw. This eye contained a hair that Ms. Red Stone left in the Association back then. I originally followed the plan, wanting to use that hair and secret technique to determine whether Mr. Red Stone and Ms. Red Stone had a blood relationship, or at least to determine whether Mr. Red Stone's essence contained the components of 【Emerald Tablet】.

But just now, when I looked up at him, I swear I saw..."

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva:

"A bright red moon." ===== CHAPTER 4043 =====

"A round, bright red moon."
