Chapter 1712: Chapter 572: Medicine Refining, Alchemy_2

“Other alchemy techniques don’t work, only cloud magic is popular on your Silk Continent?” Master Aymar, an alchemy authority, found it hard to believe when he heard this news.

Cloud magic, like wind magic, is considered the leader of the four major magic systems and is a branch of Qi magic.

On the Aegean Continent, only the Mist Giants have traditionally practiced cloud magic, and no one else has had the means to learn it. Due to this natural restriction, there have never been any cloud magic equipment or cloud magic tools in Aegean alchemy.

Unexpectedly, on the Silk Continent, this obscure magic has become the star of alchemy and has even become widespread.

“My tutor is an expert in cloud magic, a true master.” Xiao Kong chuckled, not surprised by this at all. Many spells in Aegean were also unfamiliar to him, such as the smoke system spell Enrida just used, which would be unimaginable on the Silk Continent. As for the magical equipment of Aegean, it made Xiao Kong extremely envious. Equipment on the Silk Continent is too personalized and private, and mostly unusable even if seized.

“I see.” Liu Zhenhuan finally realized the reason why the burly Prince could so easily hold a Jing Gold bowl; it was due to the buoyant effect of cloud magic. This Prince is indeed extraordinary!

“Although our alchemy may not be as advanced as Aegean’s, our potion technology on the Silk Continent far surpasses Aegean’s! Our land is blessed with lush mountains and waters, filled with countless mystical herbs and unique flora. Certain minerals and the inner core of divine beasts can be concocted into potions! There are even elixirs that can enhance mana—some rare mystical herbs can directly elevate one’s cultivation level by a tier, with no side effects, and can extend one’s lifespan!” After praising Aegean, Xiao Kong naturally had to boast about his own continent: “It’s actually because of the doctrines spread by ancient alchemists and monks. The emergence of super-powerful individuals who can ascend during daylight on our Silk Continent is mainly due to elixirs! Relying solely on self-cultivation makes it very hard to reach the Doom Realm!”

“Damn!” Liu Zhenhuan immediately rolled his eyes, accompanied by a crowd of side-eyeing bystanders.

A shortcut! This is definitely a shortcut!

If Kaka’s transformation into a unicorn, eating crystal ores in the Demon World for fifty years, and finally advancing to become the youngest Archdruid in history is considered a coincidence, then the tradition of the Silk Continent is undoubtedly a way to enhance strength without any harmful methods.

Therefore, Liu Zhenhuan’s assertion that meditation is a rough practice seems not entirely unfounded!

The only precious medicine Liu Zhenhuan had seen that could elevate one’s cultivation by a tier was the Nau Platinum of the Demon World.

However, that item incurs a cost of reducing lifespan and disfigurement upon advancement, and it only suits Magical Beasts, so it doesn’t count as a supreme treasure.

The idea of increasing one’s cultivation by a tier without effort, while also extending lifespan, is more tempting than any other temptation in the world for Aegean mages, and even more so for powerful beings like Magic Tutors and Giant Dragons!

The best potion makers on the Aegean Continent are monks, followed by priests and witch doctors.

It’s undeniable that Aegean indeed does not produce any naturally occurring herbs, Magical Beasts, or minerals with special effects. Since monks were purged as heretics, the potion-making field on the current Aegean Continent has receded significantly, showing signs of vanishing into the dust of history.

The thought of increasing one’s cultivation by a tier and extending lifespan has never crossed the minds of the Aegeanians.

“You don’t believe?” Seeing the skepticism written all over the faces around him, the Ninth Prince felt his pride seriously wounded, and his expression stiffened: “Let me put it this way! Can’t Aegean’s priests heal the wounded using spells? Our Silk Continent is too vast, and there aren’t as many monks, and they are not very keen on joining the army, so we mainly rely on elixirs. Warriors, as long as they carry healing elixirs with them, can quickly stop bleeding and relieve pain after taking them, allowing them to continue fighting! If it’s some precious healing elixir, even severe injuries can rapidly heal! If you don’t believe me, I’ll ask my tutor for some tomorrow for you to see!”

“Praise you, mysterious Orient!” The eyes of the Great Summoning Magic Tutor Rijekaarde shone brightly.

The nature of this master’s profession determined, like the Beamon priest, his intense longing for the miraculous elixirs of the Silk Continent.

The summoning magic system in Aegean magic knowledge can be divided into eight major categories. The first kind is the most fortunate encounter like a fairy tale, where some Magical Beast suddenly has a change of heart and voluntarily seeks a contract. These active and unequal contracts, where the beast can’t betray and shares life with the master, are most commonly made by the Dragon Clan on the Aegean Continent! The second kind is the most Boole-like Great Summoning Technique of the Dragon Clan, perfectly demonstrated by Wenger! The third and fourth types are the Undead Arcane and the Necromantic Arcane of the Demon Clan, with the former exclusively summoning undead creatures and the latter exclusively summoning Otherworldly creatures. However, the summoning skills of these two Arcane disciplines mainly serve as a supplement, focusing primarily on Arcane attacks!

The fifth type is the dark magic of the Drow Elves, best for summoning contract creatures like the Hell Black Dragon. However, dark magic can also handle summoning undead creatures and Otherworldly magical beasts, though the level requirement is high. Apart from summoning, dark magic possesses a certain combat capability, but compared to the attacking capability of the Demon Clan’s Arcane arts, it falls far behind!
