Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 314

"Chaming Mountain" is on the outskirts of Izumo City, which is an active volcano.

In the culture of god belief, the mountains and rivers usually have some mysterious meaning. This Chaming Mountain is one of the three most sacred mountains in the mountains, and it is said to be the burial place of the "Huangquan King".

The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. The volcanic eruption hundreds of years ago brought a lot of fertile volcanic ash from the ground. From the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, the vegetation is lush and the scenery is pleasant. Also because there are the highest quality mineral hot springs in the earth veins, the villages at the foot of Chaming Mountain have also built a large number of hot spring soup rooms, attracting tourists from all over the world.

In winter, it is the best season to enjoy the snow bath, and tourists are like weaving.

The four of Su Lun's speed were very fast. They traveled hundreds of miles at night and arrived at the small town at the foot of Chaming Mountain before dawn. The all-night taverns and geisha halls were brightly lit, with drunken customers roaming the streets.

Su Lun and the others did not go to the town, but the goddess Yuzi led them up the mountain from the trail overnight, all the way up, through a bluestone staircase paved in the dense woods, and only then did they reach a room with green tile roofs and white walls In front of the main three-story building. There are kappa stone carvings with moss growing on both sides of the doorway, and there is a sign under the eaves with the words mottled with lacquer marks: sipping mother-in-law soup room.

Holding the rune umbrella, Su Lun carefully observed everything around him along the way. The death bird on the shoulder was also very quiet, and nothing unusual was found.

It seemed that the pursuers were not chasing after them.

The shop owner was an old couple dressed in Pushu, and they were waiting respectfully at the door when they received the message from Zhihe.

When Su Lun and the others approached, they saw Yuzi, so they knelt on the ground and said softly, "See Your Highness."

Yuko is very friendly, but also has the unique majesty of a royal princess. She didn't intend to attract attention either, and beckoned, "Take us to the room."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The old couple bowed and led a few people into the house.

In order to keep it secret, Yuzi did not inform the old couple too much in advance, and it was the peak season for bathing, so there were not many vacancies in the soup room when he came. Su Lun walked all the way and felt that there were people in the rooms on the first and second floors. There were about twenty or thirty soul fires, old and young, all of them ordinary people. Their breaths were long and even, and they were still sound asleep.

Several people did not disturb anyone, and went up to the third floor all the way to the front of a room.

Most of Shanyin's soup rooms are "suites", which are suitable for bathing at home together. This is the room that the old couple arranged for Yuko alone.

The old couple thought that Su Lun and the others were the guards and maids of Her Royal Highness the Princess. When there was no room available, they prepared to vacate their own room and squeezed.

But Yuko rejected the proposal.

She didn't mind living with other people, not to mention that the three of Su Lun were her guests, so they naturally invited them into the room together.

The old couple didn't say anything, and backed away respectfully.

The three of Su Lun took off their shoes like Yuko, and then stepped on the rush mat.

There is a faint scent of incense in the room, and the decoration style is quiet and beautiful, simple and beautiful. The house has almost no walls, only tan wooden columns and plain white rice paper lattice doors. The small room feels very spacious, with good lighting and pleasant moonlight. This soup room is built on the mountain. Although it is the third floor, it has cleverly designed a unique courtyard connecting the back mountain. Looking out of the window, after being covered by the green vegetation, you can see the dense steam lingering up, which is an independent hot spring pool.

The mother-in-law and the old couple arranged the best room.

After entering the room, Shenfu Yuzi casually set up a barrier to prevent visitation. She said to Qianjo and Su Lun and bowed, "I'm sorry, if you didn't arrange it in advance, you can only aggrieve everyone."

Since it is here to take refuge, it is naturally impossible to make a big splash.

Su Lun and Qianjo are not the kind of people who are strict about small details, so they don't mind.

What's more, the elegant environment of this room can't be said to be "wronged".

"Miss Yuko is very polite."

Chijo waved his hand.

Her character has never regarded her as an outsider. After entering the house, she began to remove the long sword from her waist, and she was about to take off her clothes while making a gesture, and she muttered: "Huh, I can finally take a good rest. .I heard that the volcanic hot springs here are the best in the world before I came to Shanyin, and now I can finally try it.”

Su Lun was not at all surprised why she was so eager. The young woman who was addicted to gambling had fought hard for a few days, and the blood stains on her body had condensed into black. I haven't changed washing for a few days, and my hair and clothes are mixed with a strange smell of various scents. This made her, who already loves soaking in soup, endure it.

With that said, Qianjo still greeted the host and said, "Miss Yuzi, let's go, let's go to the soup together."

Shenfu Yuzi smiled slightly and replied: "Well."

As the master, she naturally wants to accompany her. Besides, she meant it too.

Because the essence of the soup room is a hotel, this kind of large room is for the convenience of a family living together.

There are cleverly designed lattice doors in the house, which could have partitioned off some other small rooms, such as changing rooms.

But Qianjo didn't mean to hide from the few people in the room at all.

When she spoke, she had already taken off her kimono jacket, exposing large areas of her skin to the air, until only her shorts remained. He completely ignored the only man in the room, Su Lun, and began to untie the gauze wrapping around his chest.

Seeing this, there was not much strangeness on the face of the goddess Yuko.

In Shanyin's traditional culture, there is little privacy taboo among family members, and "mixed bathing" is a natural custom. Even in adulthood, it is natural for family members to be naked and rarely avoid taboos.

But that kind of situation is also for very close people, so they will be so undefended.

Thinking of something, Yu Zi glanced at Su Lun in the room, and his eyes flashed. She smiled and said, "Miss Qianjo is in such a good shape."

Where does Qianjo care about this kind of thing, he glanced down and raised his eyebrows: "Ah, I feel that it affects my sword swing."

Hearing this, Yuzi covered her mouth and chuckled: "Miss Qianjo really has an enviable trouble."

Lolota looked accustomed to it, and skillfully helped her teacher pick up the clothes and hang them on the coat rack. In the bathroom of Blizzard City before, the three of them had been getting along like this for several days, and she was already used to it.

This little girl followed Qianjo to learn the sword, and she also learned her carefree character one by one. After packing up a thousand pieces of clothes, she also hung her sword by the wall, watching as she prepared to take off her clothes and go to the soup.

There is a small partition in the room near the courtyard of the back mountain, which is where the body is washed.

Chijo took off her clothes and walked over.

Her back is perfect, but the ghost tattoos on her back are very eye-catching.

Yu Zi also looked slightly clear.

The house is full of spring, and Su Lun is a calm group.

After all, there are outsiders, and he doesn't have the heart to appreciate Qianjo undressing. Just find a place to sit, intending to digest what I just got.

Not long after, the sound of water was heard.

But at this time, he heard Qianjo shout again through the screen: "Su Lun, won't you take a dip together?"

Su Lun responded, "No. I still have to get something to fix your rune ban as soon as possible."

Compared with the soup, he was more eager to digest the soul of the "Ghost Sword" Aki and the inheritance of the rune warlock.

There are also sealed Oni Samurai waiting for him to deal with, as well as the research of [Silver Hand]

A lot of things are waiting to be done.

"Oh."

Qianjo responded, "Then I'll go first."

Su Lun didn't respond.

At this time, the goddess Yuko, who was still in the room, also spoke up, and she still bowed slightly politely: "Mr. Su Lun, I'm going to soak in the soup first. I'm sorry."

Su Lun was a little unaccustomed to this kind of polite attitude at all times, and responded, "Yeah. Miss Yuko doesn't have to be so polite."

Yuzi smiled and said, and was also ready to change into the bathing gauze in the room.

But she wasn't so arrogant as to be able to strip naked in the house without changing her face like Chijo. She walked over and pulled the wooden lattice door without being rude to separate a dressing room.

The sound of "rustling" came from his ears, and after a while, the whole set of witch costumes was taken off and hung on the screen.

Su Lun was engrossed in fiddling with his own affairs, putting some things in front of him and doing his own thing. But because of his multitasking ability, he could clearly distinguish the subtle movements in the room. Hearing light footsteps, he knew that Yuko had gone to the washroom.

If not, it didn't take long to hear the sound of water.

Shanyin's soup room is not like other places, there are boiler pipes flushing.

The hot water here is drawn directly from the hot spring with bamboo tubes.

It was time for Chijo to flush, probably rushing with a wooden barrel, with a clattering sound.

When Yuzi was washing, it seemed like he was using a gourd scoop to scoop up water little by little, with a squeak sound. The demeanor sounded very nice.

For some reason, Su Lun was suddenly attracted by the movement.

He raised his eyebrows, glanced at the witch costume on the screen, shook his head gently, and regained his concentration in an instant.

Finally, Yuko also went to the hot spring pool in the courtyard. There was only Su Lun in the room, so he could concentrate on his own business.

He took out the [Soul Sealing Jar], and the phantom of death behind him instantly condensed, and in an instant, an icy aura descended on the entire room.

Su Lun opened the cork of the clay pot with a blank expression, and a ghostly light group floated out, and the ghost of death instantly swallowed it.

"You stripped the soul of 'Ahi Aurora', and you gained a lot of knowledge of the inheritance of 'Rune Warlock'"

"You have comprehended 108 variants of the 'Advanced Rune'"

"You have gained a lot of insights on 'full rune language knowledge', 'rune refining technique', and 'rune inscription skills'"

"."

Inside the house, Su Lun is busy.

At the same time, Yu Zi, who was soaking in the hot spring in the hot spring pool in the courtyard, knew the special breath of the death god, and his pretty face was slightly surprised.

Qianjo raised his eyebrows and said lazily, "Don't worry about him."

Yuko also guessed what kind of secret technique Su Lun might be using, so it's not easy to find out.

She thought of something, and turned to curiosity: "Miss Qianjo, take the liberty to ask, is Mr. Su Lun your lover?"

Chijo rolled her eyes, "Do you think it looks like that?"

"picture."

Yuko smiled and said with certainty: "Only for the sake of the person you love will you go to risk without hesitation. I can see that Mr. Su Lun cares about Miss Chijo."

"Cut~"

Hearing this, Qianjo rolled her eyes, as if she didn't even have an explanation.

The tacit understanding between her and Su Lun is not a relationship between men and women.

At this time, Qianjo thought of something, and suddenly showed the frivolous demeanor of a female hooligan. She dragged Yuko's chin beside her with her hand, looked up and down for a moment, and said solemnly: "I think you two are quite suitable. Miss Yuzi, you look good, your skin is white, and your figure is very good. Su Lun is sure too. Very satisfied."

The two had gotten to know each other well in Pirate City before, and they had no scruples in speaking.

Shenfu Yuzi didn't know why the fire burned to himself, and he couldn't laugh or cry, "Sister Qianjo is joking, I am a witch who serves the gods. I will risk my life to the gods."

"Oh, almost forgot, only the purest maidens can serve the gods."

Qianjo smacked his lips, but his face was full of disapproval.

She thought of something, and her expression became even more playful. She joked: "However, when you meet Su Lun, maybe your ideal of 'serving god for life' may not be realized."

Yuko: "."

After a while, Su Lun digested the knowledge that poured into his mind, and his eyes gradually became clear. He couldn't help but sighed: "It's also fortunate that the secret art of the divine way can preserve the soul. This time, this peeling off will save me at least a few years of hard work."

This Aki has accumulated much more knowledge and understanding than his fourth-order brother who was a pirate.

Su Lun digested those memories and instantly felt that he had gained a lot.

His current phantom of death, stripping the soul of the fifth-order professional, can probably obtain about 3% of the total soul fragments. In order to gain as much knowledge about the "Rune Warlock" as possible, he even gave up the very formal fifth-order wind law perception and kendo sword intent that this guy comprehended.

However, this trade-off effect is also very good.

"Rune Warlock" is a line of alchemy system specializing in the study of runes, professional and amateur, the gap is not a little bit.

This makes Su Lun, a "master-level" rune master, feel dwarfed.

He gained a huge amount of rune knowledge in an instant, which made Su Lun feel that his attainment in runes had reached a new level.

More importantly, with this knowledge as a foundation, he can better understand the [Rune Inheritance Scroll] that he obtained.

Thinking of this, Su Lun took out the yellowed scroll again and spread it out in front of his eyes, and the dense teeny small characters came into view.

On the nearly ten-meter-long scroll, almost all the rune knowledge, advanced sequences and battle secrets that "Rune Old Man" brought out from the capital of Lu Yingdi were recorded.

This scroll is not pure text, but also some encrypted content and special rune language.

It was also thanks to Su Lun who stripped Aki's soul that he could decipher everything without any obstacles.

Su Lun has ten lines in one eye, and the dense words are reflected in the waves in his eyes.

This scroll is like a key, opening the door to the high-level rune field.

But the mystery of rune literature is as deep as the sea, and he seems to have found a treasure chest in the sea.

Even if Su Lun's achievements in runes are not low in the eyes of others, the content on this scroll is enough for him to study for a lifetime.

Su Lun didn't plan to digest these things directly, he wanted to find a way to refine [Imitate Primordial Runes].

If you wish to advance to the fourth level, and then come back to look at the scroll, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!

Su Lun's eyes carefully searched for the content on the scroll, and then in the "Advanced Sequence Selection" section, he found several classic advanced paths of the Rune Warlock lineage, ranging from 1 to 6.

as it wishes.

He quickly found several professional material refining formulas that could be adapted to [Imitate Primordial Runes].

After the analysis, two types with the highest degree of fit were finally selected, one is called [Universal Comprehension], and the other is called [Sky Eye of Zosimus].

The first kind of refining formula is a "universal formula". The degree of cohesion is not too high, but fortunately, the materials are relatively easy to find, and the effect of the final product is quite satisfactory.

The second formula requires some strange materials, such as [the corpse dust of the monster in the lake], [narwhal tears], [the brain of the high-level siren]. Some of these materials are even Su Lun's current Knowledge has never heard of it. The material is tricky, and accordingly, the effect will be better.

"These materials are hard to find"

Although he had been prepared for a long time, Su Lun frowned when he looked at those names.

Alchemists are very thorough in the field of materials, they can not stick to a certain material. As long as the specific function of the material in the drawing can be analyzed, it is actually possible to find other substitutes for materials with similar functions.

This scroll details the "pharmacology" and "medicinal properties" of various materials.

Su Lun took a closer look and thought of several alternative materials.

However, there is still a lot missing.

If you want to release more of the characteristics of a top-level item like [Imitate Primordial Rune], the more advanced the matching materials, the better.

Those materials, even if they are easily guarded by top auction houses, may not be able to be collected in a short time.

"Hey, how can I get it together in a short time?"

Su Lun frowned for a moment.

It is far from the Pirate City, and it will take time to buy it, and it may not be long before you can get it all together. The first time he thought of the other members of the mirror organization, he thought of using the communicator to ask first.

Just as I was fascinated, there was a sudden sound of water coming out of the courtyard outside the house.

Looking at it again, the three of them were shocked and walked in after soaking in the hot spring.

Su Lun's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the goddess Yuko.

Isn't this the princess of the Shanyin royal family?
