Chapter 72:

Jun-woo headed to Iljasan next to Gangdong-gu.

There was a single factory-like building that was laid out in a pile.

A stele was erected at the entrance, and it was written as the Alchemy Association.

Jun-woo walked over and looked at the closed door.

There was a large sign stating that entry is prohibited except for officials.

Jun-woo knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened, and the strong smell of gunpowder filled his nostrils.

The person who opened the door was alchemist Jeong Cheol-ho, believed to be Korea's only Epic+ rating.

When Jeong Cheol-ho, 35, with tangled hair, saw Jun-woo, the corners of his lips rose.

"Hey, come here. I was waiting."

"Hello, this is Jun-woo Lee."

"Of course I do. Come on in."

Jun-woo followed Jeong Cheol-ho and went inside.

There was an extended workbench in front of him, and various flasks were spread out on it.

"Come over here and sit down."

There was no one but Jeong Cheol-ho in the spacious space.

When Jun-woo sat down, Cheol-ho Jeong sat straight in front of him.

"I am late to introduce myself. My name is Cheol-Ho Jeong. I mainly make potions."

"This is Jun-woo Lee."

"It is an honor to have found you. I heard that you are also very good at potions."

"no. I don't know much."

"Still, the knowledge that the system gave me is already something ."

Jeong Cheol-ho did not doubt that Jun-woo was a legendary alchemist.

The vast knowledge he would possess made Jeong Cheol-ho tremble.

However, Jun-woo had the knowledge of an alchemist at an exceptional level, and most of it was ore.

Jeong Cheol-ho asked.

"Have you ever studied potions separately?"

"No, no. My knowledge is based on the ore."

"Yeah Well, that's fine. If you study together, you will get good results. What field are you interested in?"

"It's an Elixir."

Alchemists called elixir drugs that drink and cause permanent stats or beneficial changes to the body.

Many drugs temporarily raise stats.

However, Elixir was a sanctuary where the alchemists had not yet arrived.

Jun-woo added one more word.

"Moreover, I am very interested in the Philosopher's Stone."

A crystal that can give beneficial changes to all phenomena. Jun-woo actually ate the wise man's stone.

Perhaps because of that effect, gray hair is still growing around the top of the head.

Although the Elixir and the Philosopher's Stone had almost the same meaning, the Philosopher's Stone meant a little more about alchemy's ultimate material among alchemists.

"ah You also have a lot of ambition."

Jun-woo did not need a potion to replenish some vitality and some mana.

If you make a good drug, it may be okay to make money, but you can make money with more.

"I know that you have conducted related research."

"Yes, while mixing the ingredients, the title "Intellect can be increased" pops up. But with common materials, you won't be able to make a wise man's stone."

Jun-woo nodded his head as if in sympathy.

It would be difficult to make a potion with permanent change from the materials sold.

Perhaps you would need materials that are classified as belonging items. Among them, the promotion stone that raises the rank of the profession would be the key.

"You will need promotion stones or binding materials that can only be obtained through hunting. And we need mana to disassemble it."

Mana was consumed when decomposing materials.

An alchemist's drug becomes a potion when the decomposed materials are mixed, fused, and put in a potion bottle.

"Perhaps Can you also decompose iron ore?"

Jun-woo had never done it before, but he took out iron ore.

And I put my hand on the iron ore and tried using the alchemist's mana management corporation decomposition.

Powerful mana was shot into the iron ore, and the material it was composed of began to slowly crumble.

Jeong Cheol-ho's eyes widened.

Powerful mana constantly decomposes iron ore.

If you stop disassembling, the item is destroyed.

Mana and high intelligence were needed to maintain until the end.

The iron ore turned into powder and emitted a small light.

Jun-woo gained mana.

"Wow That's great."

Even Jeong Cheol-ho was able to decompose iron ore, but disassembling one consumes all mana, and it is enough to leave you in awe.

But Jun-woo looked fine.

"Is there any place where decomposed iron ore is used?"

"As you know, we haven't found it yet. I put a lot of stuff here and there and tried to fuse it, but the effect was only diminished."

Jeong Cheol-ho requested the disassembly of iron ore because almost all materials could be disassembled if iron ore could be dismantled.

Perhaps, something that he couldn't disassemble would also be possible if it was Jun-woo.

If Jun-woo would help, Jeong Cheol-ho could do more research.

First of all, Jeong Cheol-ho showed his hand.

Jeong Cheol-ho took a piece of paper from the item window and held it out.

"Wait. This is a recipe for a potion that shows that intellect can increase."

The paper had a multiplier based on the number of grams of decomposed powder.

"Has your intelligence increased?"

"I made three bottles and drank it myself, but it had no effect. As you know, the Blue Gem of the Sacred River among the materials there is expensive, so we are not researching it anymore."

Jun-woo nodded and returned the paper.

"Are you writing here alone?"

"no. Sometimes the president or vice president of the association visits. On weekends, the three of us work together."

"okay. Do you have any ingredients now?"

"What material?"

"Bamancho, herbs, mandragora leaves, purified water, and red powder."

"Yes, I have. Would you like to?"

Kim Hyeon-woo went to the toilet covered by the tent and sat down on the stone toilet.

I had to contact him, but a member of the Aegis guild was right in front of me.

The magic crystal ball could not be used.

Kim Hyeon-woo, who had been sitting without any help, came out.

"I was nervous, but it didn't come out. Looks like a pillar has been found, so let's go quickly."

"Yes, let's go."

Guild members did not fall away from Kim Hyun-woo.

They moved quickly to the scene.

The miners were pouring sand bags of soil and stones into the pit.

Jeong Dae-nam looked at Kim Hyun-woo and cried.

"Pour out everything in the sandbag. Pour quickly."

"Huh? why? What if I cover it again?"

"Do what you say, quickly."

Murata covered the pit again.

There were instructions from Jun-woo.

If a pillar is found, cover it first.

Kim Hyun-woo poured down the soil and stone fragments in his sandbag with a shaky face.

The soil feels like a waterfall.

After emptying the sandbags, Murata said.

"Pour the dirt piled up next to it back into the pit."

The soil in the sandbag was not enough to cover the pit.

So, I pushed the dirt and stone pieces piled up on the side into the pit with a shovel used to clear snow.

Eleven miners pushed the soil, and Choi Ji-ho helped with it by moving mana.

As dirt got into the pit, Kim Hyun-woo's forehead wrinkled slightly.

If the soil again filled the hole, it would take a long time to get down to the pillars, even if they came.

When the dirt piled up like a mountain around it went into the pit little by little, the guild member who received Murata's order hurried to where Yoshimura was hunting.

I saw Yoshimura and Eumeria, and Yoshimura was looking at him because he knew he was coming.

"Come back, everyone. pillars have been found Quickly!"

"What did you say? Is that your brother?"

"The pillar has been found."

Yoshimura was startled by Eumeria's interpretation.

"to!? 300m is no Come back with Leon. Hey, let's go back."

Yoshimura hurriedly returned to the blasting site with the guild members.

"brother!"

"Yoshimura, hurry up and call Luis."

"I will be there as soon as possible!"

Yoshimura took out the flying car and quickly headed to Earth.

Eumeria and Leon returned to the scene, and Leon asked as if puzzled as they watched the soil being moved.

"Why cover it again?"

"It takes at least 12 hours for the representative to come."

"Are you afraid that the Dark Stars will come again in the meantime?"

"Okay, take a good look. Are there any strange movements?"

Leon nodded at Eumeria's words.

Kim Hyun-woo pretended to be hard and sighed and said to Murata.

"Can't we just do this?"

Murata looked at Kim Hyun-woo and shook his head.

"No, I will continue. If you are tired, take a break and do it."

"Yeah? It's not hard ."

The guild members, including the miners, joined in and pushed the soil in.

The hole in the ground was gradually filled with soil and stone chips.

* * *

Not so far from the blasting site, Poongrim's guild member, leaning against the wall, felt puzzled and fell off the wall.

The sound of blasting echoing in the square of the Earth had not been heard for a long time.

There was no time to eat.

There would be no rest for no reason.

He took out a magic crystal ball and made a call.

"There is no explosion. I think you should check it out."

"I know."

Baek Jin-seong received a call, and 17 people were waiting there.

Initially, while hunting nearby, you could take a look and check it out, but now Darkstar's Parkle can do it for you.

"There is no explosion. Could you please check it out?"

"Let's do that."

Parkle was a wizard in a robe.

And he possessed floating magic.

Parkle slowly rose into the sky.

In the distance, the blasting site looked as small as a pea.

Parkle took the telescope out of the item window and looked back at it.

They were pushing the soil into the hole with a shovel.

Then Leon looked in the direction in which Parkle was floating.

My eyes couldn't see what was there.

However, Leon took out a throwing spear from the item window, ran a little, and threw the spear with all his might with the strength and mana of his body.

The spear that soared into the sky-piercing through the dust, flew towards Parkle.

Parkle, looking through the telescope, was startled by something approaching, threw the telescope away, and hurriedly ended the floating magic.

As Parkle's body fell, a spear passed through the original floating-point.

Parkle, who fell to the ground, looked at Baek Jin-seong and said.

"The soil is being recovered. And it was discovered."

"I think the time has come. Let's make a surprise attack now. before it's too late."

The guild members of Poongrim changed the equipment they wore to hide their identity.

Then he took out the adamantium mask and covered his face.

They covered their faces and put their bodies on top of the Lee Dong-jin that Ram had drawn.

And when a powerful light was emitted, they all disappeared from there.
