Chapter 59: Is your alchemy legal?

"My Lord, Higgins is dead."

In the pitch-black study, a figure knelt on one knee and said to the tall figure standing by the window looking into the distance.

"I know," the tall figure said calmly, "He did not fail my cultivation."

Hearing this, the kneeling figure looked up and asked hesitantly, "...My Lord, what should we do next?"

The tall figure turned around, walked to the kneeling figure, and said coldly, "Find Razor first. I want to see a person if he’s alive, and a corpse if he’s dead."

"Yes." Hearing this, the kneeling figure hurriedly lowered his head, "But the Public Security Bureau side..."

"Don't worry about the Public Security Bureau. The only one who needs attention is that bastard Ma Kusi," the tall figure couldn't help but sneer, "As for the others..."

"...a bunch of losers."

"My Lord is right," the kneeling figure flattered, "Then this subordinate will go down first."

"Hmm."

As the kneeling figure disappeared into the darkness, the study fell into silence.

It wasn't until a long time later that a long sigh sounded.

"Tsk..."

"...Federal Investigation Bureau, huh..."

Late at night.

Li Ang recalled what happened today.

Higgins clearly sought death on his own; everyone present could see that.

As for Raymond’s testimony, there was also a big problem, which was that after they caught that smuggler for the first time, Ma Kusi told them not to worry about it.

Therefore, Higgins had no need to contact those smugglers to kill them.

Thinking of this, Li Ang let out a light breath.

'Forget it, let the Chief and the others have a headache...'

After all, compared to having a headache over these things, he now had more important things to do.

Li Ang first glanced at the progress of Innate Reversion and found that the experience value had reached [Mastery 143/1000], most of which was contributed by Higgins, and a small part was slowly increased by him maintaining the Innate state.

Including now, he was maintaining the Innate state at home.

Ignoring the [Operating Innate Reversion, skill experience +1] that popped up on the panel again, Li Ang began to check the "Detailed Introduction to Alchemy" he obtained today.

He curiously set the content recorded in the bracelet to the opening page.

[The art of alchemy is truly the unification of mind and matter.]

Seeing the first sentence, Li Ang frowned slightly and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Dual cultivation of nature and life?"

He didn't expect this alchemy to be somewhat similar to the cultivation of a Qi Refiner.

He continued to read.

[Use the body as a furnace, the heart as fire, and you can refine gold into pills.]

"Internal Alchemy School?!"

Flipping forward to the cover, Li Ang confirmed that he was reading "Detailed Introduction to Alchemy," not some "Tao Te Ching."

The Golden Pill here didn't refer to the realm in ordinary immortal cultivation novels, but the Golden Pill from the Taoist Internal Alchemy School’s "Swallow a golden pill into the abdomen, only then do I know my life is not up to heaven."

Li Ang, who had been a disciple in the Three-One sect for a period of time, naturally knew about this.

However, he soon realized that it should refer to refining gold into pills; after all, gold occupies an important position in alchemy.

With a somewhat strange thought, Li Ang looked at the last sentence.

[One is all, all is one.]

[This is the miracle of the Great One.]

There was nothing strange about this sentence; many metaphysical concepts have this idea of all things returning to one.

The opening only had these three sentences. Li Ang continued to flip through the content recorded in the bracelet; the subsequent content was the very normal basic concept of alchemy.

For example, the world is composed of four elements: earth, water, wind, and fire.

Because it was just an introductory book, the content recorded in the book wasn't much, and Li Ang quickly finished reading all the materials.

"Detailed Introduction to Alchemy" provided two magic arrays at the end, as well as a manufacturing method for an alchemical item.

The two magic arrays were [Toughness] and [Concealment], while the alchemical item was [Scale of Garos].

However, Li Ang didn't even have raw materials, let alone a furnace, so he clearly couldn't manufacture alchemical items, so he could only try to depict the magic arrays.

But wanting to depict magic arrays also required a carving knife. Having been busy for a day, Li Ang didn't have time to buy tools, so he could only give up for the time being.

Thinking this, he simply calmed his mood and began today’s homework.

[Practicing Qi, professional experience +4].

[Controlling the Qi in the body, skill experience +1].

The next day, Public Security Bureau.

Li Ang and Danika huddled together sneakily.

"Captain, can it really be sold for a lot of money?"

"Yes, an ordinary employee in the Finance Bureau next door once obtained similar materials, and the Federation directly recycled it for 300,000 Star Glow Coins."

That’s right, the two were preparing to upload the "Detailed Introduction to Alchemy" obtained yesterday to the Federation’s system to see if it could be recycled.

Li Ang looked nervously at Danika photographing and uploading the book in front of her.

You have to know that 300,000 Star Glow Coins, even if divided into three parts, would be 100,000, which was enough to buy a first-tier professional information that wasn't too trashy.

Soon, Danika received a reply.

However, after seeing the content of the information clearly, her expression fell.

[We are sorry, this material has already been collected by the Federation. Thank you for your trust.]

Danika said hopelessly: "I knew such good things wouldn't fall to me..."

And Li Ang silently opened the website for purchasing professional information and began to search for "Detailed Introduction to Alchemy."

Only after seeing the uploader, his expression became strange.

"Captain, look."

["Detailed Introduction to Alchemy — by Garos", uploaded by...]

[Governor’s Office of Frontier Colonial Star No. 9527].

Seeing the information shared by Li Ang, Danika was stunned.

There is only one situation where the planetary Governor’s Office would upload such materials: the materials were captured when the planet was colonized; otherwise, they would only be uploaded in a personal name.

The question is...

Can swarms learn alchemy?

Or in other words, are these bugs really the native species of this planet?

Li Ang didn't think the Zerg could learn or even create alchemy. Of course, it didn't rule out the possibility that the Zerg on this planet were weird, and it was his stereotype. ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
