Me! The Strongest Alchemist! Chapter 90

Chapter 90: The Legendary Taboo among Alchemists

Mas looked at Norton who was kneeling on the ground with a faint smile. His lips curled up slightly before he put the precious Level 9 White Tiger Jade into the alchemy space he carried with him.

Norton saw the White Tiger Jade suddenly disappear. As a prince of a country, he knew about space rings. Now, he believed that Master Mas in front of him could help him restore the Tiger Might Kingdom.

After accepting the White Tiger Jade, Mas looked at Norton strangely and said, “Norton, although I promised to help you, I’m quite curious. Where did you get this White Tiger Jade?”

“To be honest, Lord Mas, when my father passed it to me, he told me that this White Tiger Jade is a royal treasure that has been passed down the Tiger Might Kingdom!”

Norton did not dare dally at that. He was afraid that he would make Mas unhappy, so he quickly answered Mas’s question.

Upon hearing this, Mas stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before asking,

“Other than the Tiger Might Kingdom, which is a vassal state, does the name of the other vassal states have the words ‘Black Tortoise’, ‘Vermillion Bird’, ‘Azure Dragon’, and ‘Qilin’?”

Mas raised this question without basis. Since this White Tiger Jade was a treasure that had been passed down for generations in the Tiger Might Kingdom, did the other vassal states of the Firmament Empire also have countries with inherited treasures in their names?

“Lord Mas, there are no kingdoms with these names in the Firmament Empire!” Norton replied.

“Looks like it won’t be easy to gather all four jades and the Heart of the Qilin…”

However, it’s useless to be anxious about such a rare treasure. It all depends on whether I have the opportunity to obtain other treasures in the future. Sigh… Mas sighed in his heart.

“Norton, I have taken your White Tiger Jade. I will have someone bring you back for revenge!” Mas said calmly.

It was just a kingdom after all. It would be easy to get Dick to make a trip there.

“Sir Alchemist, I want to seek revenge by myself!” Norton begged Mas.

“Revenge by himself?”

“You?” Mas smiled helplessly. He would treat this personal revenge as a joke.

Norton was only a Level 1 warrior. Without external help, how could it be easy to take revenge personally?

It was impossible for him to refine an alchemy armor for Norton, right?

Mas really did not know how to answer Norton’s request.

In terms of value, this White Tiger Jade was worth a set of Level 6 alchemy armor. It was worth thousands and tens of thousands.

However, even if he gave Norton a Level 6 alchemy armor, he reckoned that he would not be able to take revenge.

The royal family that Belek Norton belonged to had been wiped out. As the royal family of the Tiger Might Kingdom, how could they not have any trump cards?

Or else, it would not be a problem to create a Gods Bestower, right?

Despite that, the royal family of the Tiger Might Kingdom had been wiped out.

Mas felt that there was a high chance that there was a Legendary Expert among the nobles who rebelled in the Tiger Might Kingdom.

If Norton wanted to take revenge himself, he would have to refine a Level 6 alchemy armor. That would be a little nonsensical.

“Norton, I admit that the White Tiger Jade is very precious, but it’s not realistic for me to grant you the power needed for you to take revenge, Your Highness!” Mas looked at Norton and shook his head again.

He would never give the Seven Luminaries Battle Armor to Norton.

Refining a new set of materials was even more problematic.

Even if he had the materials, Mas would first refine them into magic beads and embed them on the Seven Luminaries Battle Armor instead of refining a new set for Norton.

“Lord Alchemist, I beg of you!” Norton looked at Mas and kowtowed.

Mas glanced at Sha You, who gave a bitter laugh.

Mas rubbed the center of his eyebrows and looked at Norton’s broken arm. Suddenly, an idea struck him.

He suddenly recalled the exoskeleton armor from his previous life on the Blue Planet.

“If I use alchemy materials and use Norton’s body as the core, can I create cyborgs?” Mas thought to himself.

However, Mas felt that this method might fail.

Because on the first day Mas became Ryan’s apprentice, Ryan had solemnly warned him.

Alchemy could refine all things, but there was one thing that absolutely could not be touched.

That was the refinement of the human body.

The so-called human body refinement did not only involve the rebirth of the dead, but any alchemy that was performed using the human body.

According to Ryan, any alchemist who touched the human body and refined it would suffer misfortune.

As for what this misfortune was, Mas had once asked Ryan, but Ryan did not answer him. Mas reckoned that Ryan also did not know what was going on. After all, Ryan was a counterfeit alchemist and did not know anything.

Mas had also read some alchemy books wanting to understand information about human refinement.

However, there was no information about human refinement on any alchemy manual.

However, to let Norton have the ability to take revenge, Mas felt that other than the alchemy armor, the only way was to refine the human body.

Mas looked at the alchemy materials he had now.

He would definitely not use Level 8 and Level 9 alchemy materials.

Among the remaining Level 6 and Level 7 materials, other than the corpse of the Gods Bestow and the corpse of the Void Demon Spider, there were only five types of Level 6 magic crystals, the feathers of the Space-splitting Eagle, the Hellhound Fangs, the Dark Stone, and the Unicorn’s Young Horn.

Mas did not know what taboos there were in human refinement.

He considered for a moment, then looked at Norton and said, “I have a method that might give you the ability to take revenge, but I’ve never tried this method before. Furthermore, this method is the biggest taboo in alchemy. If it fails, the possibility of your death is nearly one hundred percent. Do you dare try?”

“No problem, Lord Mas!” Norton gave his answer without hesitation.

When Sha You heard what Mas said, her expression changed.

“Lord Mas, the method you mentioned just now, could it be that it was refined from a human body?!” Sha You looked at Mas and said in fear.

Mas turned around and smiled at Sha You. “That’s right. The method I’m talking about is indeed human refinement!”

“Master Mas, no. Human refinement is the biggest taboo in alchemy. You know this too. You must not try!”

“I once knew an alchemist who was only one step away from becoming a legendary alchemist. At that time, his lover died from a serious illness. He tried to use human bodies to refine and resurrect his wife, but ever since he started refining human bodies, he became crazy!”

“Everyone says that Door of Truth is untouchable. It is a great crime to refine the human body!” Sha You said in a panic.

“The Door of Truth is untouchable?” Mas frowned at that.

“Lord Mas, the Door of Truth is a legendary existence. It is said that the Door of Truth has the pattern of the World Tree and it represents the supreme power and truth in this world. It is absolutely not to be touched. There are also rumors that the power of Gods comes from the World Tree!”

“Many people say that the alchemist who wanted to refine a human body saw the Door of Truth when he was doing alchemy and angered the Gods. That’s why the Gods punished him. That’s why he went crazy!”

“Master Mas, you really can’t try to refine the human body!” Sha You persuaded again.

Mas rubbed his chin with his left hand and narrowed his eyes.

The Door of Truth? The World Tree?

The power of the Gods was truth?

He seemed to have figured out that supreme existence.

Mas was an atheist.

It would have been better if Sha You had not said anything. Now that she did, Mas felt a tingle.

He wanted to see what the Door of Truth looked like!
