In summary, it can be said in one sentence.
With the Philosopher's Stone, Logo was able to recreate the unique resources of the Aslant Civilization, creating many powerful pieces of equipment that the Aslant relied on to roam freely, greatly accelerating his own development.
But before that, he needs to create the Philosopher's Stone.
The materials used to create the Philosopher's Stone are not complicated.
[Fantasy Essence], [Pure Soul], [High Energy].
With the Star Wheel, the latter two, given their hidden identity Son of Truth Logo, could have as many as they wanted.
The key lies in [Fantasy Essence].
This substance is the core material that makes up the Philosopher's Stone, and it is irreplaceable.
Why can the Philosopher's Stone transform into other substances?
The reason lies in the [Fantasy Essence]!
To put it bluntly, it's just wishful thinking!
Then materialize the dream!
As the saying goes, anything is possible in dreams, and there are no limits to imagination!
The Philosopher's Stone is essentially based on outrageous fantasy.
This is very unscientific, but it's quite alchemical!
Never forget, alchemy is not science!
Technology is purely based on material elements.
Alchemy, on the other hand, carries a mysterious and magical quality, and is more inclusive.
"[Fantasy Essence] is only produced in small quantities in the Fantasy Dimension. To obtain it using only Star Wheel, you'd need to spend ten times more money... The most cost-effective method is to hire adventure teams or mercenaries, but that takes a long time. And to reliably produce Fantasy Essence, you'd need to hire at least three groups. After all, mercenaries and space pirates are always a fine line apart, and these guys aren't always reliable... What a headache..."
"Should I start my own mercenary group? Dedicated to finding the Fantasy Essence for me? But where would I find the manpower..."
Logo was helpless. Having just arrived in the Astral Realm, without the support of a major power, he was like a rootless duckweed, and his actions were far less effective than in the Elven Plane, where he could command a large following.
But this is also the only way to forge ahead and make progress; there is no room for laziness.
If you want future forces to be loyal to you, you must brand them with your mark and imbue them with your aura from the very beginning.
Why was the founding emperor able to arbitrarily Slaughter his ministers without fear of rebellion?
It's very simple. Because he is the founder of this country, his prestige and foundation are far ahead of others. Unless he acts recklessly to the point of incurring the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, what can his ministers do to resist him?
A kingdom that one has built with one's own hands is far more secure than one that one has inherited!
After much deliberation, Logo decided to play it safe and focus on completing the Alchemist Association's missions to gradually accumulate merit points. He aimed to acquire the Philosopher's Stone recipes at both the [Fine] and [Rare] levels as soon as possible and prepare to participate in the Star Sea Auction in two months.
A few days later.
While concocting a potion, Logo suddenly felt a tremor in his heart, and then discovered that the hidden seed of the heart was slowly taking root and sprouting.
"Finally couldn't hold back anymore?" Logo's lips curled into a cold smile. He ignored the seed that was eroding his soul and chose to observe coldly from the sidelines.
The seeds of the soul grow very slowly, but are extremely hidden, making them almost impossible for a Legendary being to discover.
It must be said that Misdreavus Suoerqi is also a cautious person.
A full day passed, and the branches and twigs that grew from the seed of the soul finally filled the soul of the bloodline split, forming the mark of enslavement.
Theoretically speaking, at this point, Logo would have absolutely no power to resist, and he would be wholeheartedly loyal to the Dream Demon Suoerqi.
The Dream Demon Suoerqi thought so too.
After completing the mind control, the Demigod- level mind sorcerer was completely at ease and sent a message to Logo through telepathic communication.
"So eager for me to see him? You're certainly confident. But then again, once the mark of mental enslavement is formed, it's virtually impossible to break free..."
Logo chuckled, put down the half-mixed potion in his hand, greeted his teacher Madison, and then left the residence with Crassus and Caesar. Half an hour later, they arrived at a stone building and stopped.
"You two wait outside, I'll go in by myself," Logo instructed, stepping through the gate.
In a simply decorated hall, Logo once again saw the middle-aged man who had been following Ya Er Dun.
The Dream Demon Suoerqi is also Logo's current 'master'!
"Greetings, Master!"
Logo mimicked the posture of Gustavo's Soul Slave, bowing respectfully and fervently to the Dream Demon Suoerqi. His acting was superb, without the slightest trace of pretense.
He had no reservations about addressing Suoerqi as his master. Logo had long understood that integrity was entirely dependent on one's mindset; for an absolutely rational person, integrity was merely a tool.
On the other hand, Logo's entire procedure was presented without any suspicion from the succubus Suoerqi, who was sitting in her seat.
The Dream Demon Suoerqi treated this free spiritual servant with great kindness, even personally helping Logo up and letting him sit beside her, her eyes warm as if she were looking at her own nephew or niece.
As expected of a mind mage, their actions and behaviors perfectly match their profession.
That's professionalism!
Logo sighed inwardly, but on the surface he looked trembling with fear. In the end, he stood up straight, not for any other reason than to emphasize "loyalty"!
This attitude pleased Dream Demon Suoerqi even more. He first briefly introduced himself to Logo, and then asked without any hesitation, "Do you know what Madison's opportunity is?"
It's here!
Logo is certain!
The moment he entered the hall, he had already used his Eye of Insight to check and found that only the Dream Demon Suoerqi was in the building!
what does that mean?
There is a certain probability that the relationship between the Dream Demon Suoerqi and Ya Er Dun is not entirely harmonious.
Since it's not a solid block, we must be able to find a gap to insert ourselves into!
Generally speaking, where gaps appear, there is a high probability that interests are involved.
A multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, Logo said almost without hesitation, "Teacher Madison's opportunity is a relic."
"What ruins? Who left them?" Dream Demon Suoerqi asked hurriedly.
Logo replied, "My teacher said it's a relic left behind by a school called the Kordo School..."
The words had barely left his mouth when Misdream Demon Suoerqi suddenly stood up, grabbed Logo's shoulders with both hands, and roared with fervent eyes, "What? You said the Kordo School? Are you sure you didn't hear me wrong?"
"Absolutely right." Logo nodded firmly, his eyes resolute; he was clearly a good kid who wouldn't lie.
"The Kordo School, the Kordo School... Who would have thought that Madison would inherit their legacy..."
The Dream Demon Suoerqi paced rapidly through the hall, her expression shifting dramatically, sometimes excited, sometimes fanatical, as if she had received some extraordinary news.
Seeing this, Logo tentatively asked, "Master, is the Kordo School important to you?"
"Of course it's important!" Before his loyal mind servant, the Dream Demon Suoerqi made no attempt to hide his thoughts. He said with reverence, "The Kordo School is a school of spellcasters specializing in the study of mind and spirit. Every member is a master of mind and spirit. Because of their advantage in mental attributes, they generally also practice alchemy. Madison must have inherited the alchemical aspect..."
"But..." Dream Demon Thornton paused, seemingly gathering his thoughts, before growling, "But Madison doesn't understand at all. The true essence of the Kordo School lies in its knowledge of mind and spirit! Only I can truly carry on and promote this legacy!!"
Upon hearing this, Logo chuckled inwardly, "Of course! This is a 'legacy' I tailor-made for you. You'd be drooling with envy!"
Upon realizing that a seed had been planted in his mind, Logo repeatedly plotted in his head how to scheme against people—no, he should be thinking about how to punish bad people!
The Kordo School Kordo School extremely famous among spellcasters, especially among psionicists and psychics, where it is considered a super idol.
The phenomenon of idol worship exists not only in the entertainment industry, but in all walks of life.
Otherwise, why would the Nightmare Suoerqi react so dramatically? He is a staunch admirer of the Kordo School!
"What else do you know? Do the remnants of the Kordo School still exist? Has Madison acquired all its traditions?"
After calming down, Misdreavus Suoerqi immediately bombarded her with several questions.
Logo appeared calm and reassured me, "Don't worry, Madison mentioned to me that he only obtained the alchemical portion of the relic's inheritance; he hasn't overcome the remaining challenges. His trip to the Astral Realm is to prepare thoroughly and ultimately obtain all of the relic's inheritance!"
"Not all of them? Very well, very well. That makes sense. How could a mere alchemist be recognized by the scholars of Keluoduo?" Dream Demon Suoerqi was initially pleasantly surprised, but then expressed his disdain for Madison.
Upon hearing this, Logo showed no unusual reaction whatsoever. Instead, he echoed the sentiment and joined the Dream Demon Suoerqi in slandering his own teacher.
After a long while, the Dream Demon Suoerqi sat down again, her expression shifting between light and shadow, as if she were making some difficult choices.
Seeing this, Logo immediately understood that it was his turn to step in and help Misdreavus Suoerqi make up his mind.
Are you hesitating about whether to tell Ya Er Dun about the ruins?
Hearing Logo's words, Dream Demon Suoerqi sighed, "Yes, Ya Er Dun hired me to come to the Staphis Continent for the opportunity with Madison. He is my sworn brother, and we have been through thick and thin together. Even though this is a relic of the Kordo School, I shouldn't take away what he loves."
Listen to that, what a magnificent and righteous statement!
But Logo interpreted it differently. "Yes (Pshaw!), Ya Er Dun hired me to come to the Staphis Continent (so what if he paid me?), all for the opportunity with Madison (when opportunity knocks, there are no friends!), he's my sworn brother (friendship is nothing), we've been through thick and thin together (it's precisely because we know each other so well that betrayal is so easy), even though this is a relic of the Kordo School, I shouldn't take what belongs to someone else. (This is a relic of the Kordo School; if I miss this opportunity, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. I must take it at all costs!!)"
Logo knew all too well what this guy was thinking!
If the demigod Suoerqi were truly Unrivaled and unwilling to steal his friend's opportunity, he would never have met him alone.
The reason he summoned himself behind Ya Er Dun's back was simply to find out the true value of Madison's opportunity!
It's not valuable; just honestly complete the tasks Ya Er Dun hired you for.
If it's valuable, what's wrong with betraying a friend?
To Suoerqi risen to this position, the number of friends and brothers betrayed by him is at least a reinforced company, if not a battalion!
When it comes to the future, everything else takes a backseat!
In light of this, Logo cleared his throat and decisively shouted, "Master, you're confused!!"
"Huh? How dare you speak like that?!" Dream Demon Suoerqi's eyes turned cold, and she put on a stern face, but she made no real move. This reaction seemed more like encouragement.
Go on, hurry up and persuade me, give me a way out!
Logo sneered inwardly, but maintained his loyal facade, doing his best to persuade him, "Ya Er Dun is an alchemist, not suited to the Kordo School. Receiving his legacy would be a waste. Only you will not dishonor the sages."
"Besides, Astral Realm treasures belong to the capable. What makes Ya Er Dun comparable to you? You only helped him out of respect; without it, he's nothing!"
"At worst, after you receive the inheritance, you can just make a Replication of the alchemy part for him. That wouldn't be letting him down, would it?"
Logo's words were sincere and heartfelt, and every sentence resonated deeply with the Dream Demon Suoerqi.
This caused his already Sturdiness mental defenses to begin to falter, and ultimately collapse completely.
Bang!
The Dream Demon Suoerqi slammed her hand on the armrest of her chair and stood up abruptly, shouting, "You're absolutely right! Without your reminder, I would have almost missed this opportunity because of my outdated ideas. We must seize the legacy of the Kordo School!"
Upon hearing this, Logo felt relieved.
You guessed right, neither Ya Er Dun nor Misdreavus Suoerqi are any good people.
In other words, when faced with sufficiently large profits, only a very small number of people can control themselves.
For the dream demon Suoerqi, the Legend legacy of the Kordo School is the greatest benefit.
With this inheritance, he could easily enter the stage of Divinity Sublimation, and even glimpse the divine position.
As for Ya Er Dun, who was thus abandoned?
Suoerqi exclaimed, "Ya Er Dun? Who's that? I don't know him!"
