Doomsday Code

Chapter 636 Magical Alchemy

Seeing Samlet showing this adorable side, Herlous couldn't help but smile.

Seeing Herlous's smile, Samlet glared at Zhulun fiercely and asked him to sit down.

Perhaps it was because Zhu Wan was old, or perhaps it was because he had been locked up in the Holy City dungeon for too long, but he always felt a little uncomfortable sitting on the soft rattan chair.

Seeing this, Herlous said:

"You can use the bamboo wheel as you like."

Zhu Wan also smiled awkwardly and said:

"At my age, my bones are so soft that I feel like I can't sit still."

As he said this, he broke off one of his fingers in front of everyone.

As the finger left his body, Alchemy flashed and turned into a small metal rod.

The broken wound seemed like it had been there for a long time, and granulation tissue had already grown to heal it.

He simply swung the small metal stick in his hand across the rattan chair under his crotch, and instantly the wooden rattan chair turned into a metal chair.

Seeing this thing that completely violated the material form, Chen Cheng was so scared that he fell backwards.

Then everyone looked at Chen Cheng who fell off the chair.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Chen Cheng stood up from the ground and shook himself to show that he was fine. Then he came to the bamboo wheel and stared at the metal chair under his crotch.

"How did you do this? Why can you change the properties of matter?"

As for what Chikuwa Lu did, if it wasn't magic, then in Chen Cheng's opinion it was even more miraculous than a miracle.

In Chen Cheng's understanding, the world's matter is composed of atoms, molecules, etc. They carry different electrons, different arrangements, and different element proportions, ultimately forming one hundred and eighteen different elements.

The only way to achieve the conversion between these elements is nuclear fission, which breaks the atomic nuclei of the elements and allows them to recapture electrons and become new elements.

But no one can do what Zhuwa did, which is to directly turn the vines composed of carbon, oxygen and other elements into pure iron elements without releasing any energy. This is simply anti-scientific.

Seeing Chen Cheng knocking on the chair under Zhulun's crotch and even trying to lick it, Samlett could no longer sit still and pulled him up.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is just a trick played by the alchemist to fool people."

However, how could Chen Cheng remain calm? When he saw magic, he could explain it with scientific thinking, and when he saw divine power, he could also explain it with some vague physical conjectures that could not be verified by experiments.

But Zhulun completed the transformation of elements right in front of him. Even if Chen Cheng had a big imagination, he couldn't find a theory to explain this phenomenon.

Zhu Wan was frightened by Chen Cheng's actions. Seeing Samlet's glare, he immediately explained:

"Your Majesty, the Lord Palace Master is right. To be honest, I am just deceiving you."

At this time, Chen Cheng had calmed down a little. Thinking that he almost licked the chair that the old man Zhulun was sitting on, he instantly felt a chill on his back.

This damn cognitive subversion almost made him crazy.

Then Zhuwa began to explain his alchemy to Chen Cheng.

Because he suspected that if he could not give Chen Cheng a satisfactory explanation, Samlet would never forgive him.

Moreover, although his alchemy method is precious, the people present are not powerful people like the elven elders and the demigod temple masters who have confirmed his way.

Or he is the strongest race like the Black Dragon King who completely despises alchemy. The only one weaker than him, Chen Cheng, is the monarch he is loyal to. It can be said that he can fully explain his alchemy methods here.

"Before I explain my alchemy to you, Your Majesty, please change your way of thinking about the world.

In the eyes of us alchemists, all things in the world are composed of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Other things such as light, thunder, strong winds, space and time, etc. are all different manifestations of the combination of the five elements.

Within this unique worldview, our alchemy involves manipulating the five elements that make up time and matter, and then elevating one of them."

Then Zhu Wan took the teacup in front of him and demonstrated to Chen Cheng:

"Just like this teacup, it is filled with the earth element of the Five Elements. All I need to do is use my alchemy to elevate its metal element. Immediately, it will transform from a pottery vessel into an iron vessel."

As he spoke, the teacup in Chikuwa's hand really turned into an iron cup.

Chen Cheng took the cup from his hand, weighed it, and then found that the weight was a little wrong. Then he picked up the teacup in front of him and weighed it as well.

Then he knocked on the teacup with his hand, and it still made a metallic sound.

At this point, Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows, and his face was no longer as excited and crazy as before.

Seeing Chen Cheng's expression, Zhu Lun knew that Chen Cheng had discovered the trick.

"That's right. My alchemy does not directly change the substance, but only changes the five elements of the substance. It is still the same teacup as before, but now it has the solidity of iron."

Putting down the teacup, Chen Cheng said with envy:

"Although it's not as miraculous as I imagined, your method can still be considered as taking advantage of the fortune of heaven and earth. You can actually forcibly change the rigidity of matter."

However, at this time, Samlett hissed:

"Your Majesty, don't listen to his boasting. This is just a sophisticated sleight of hand. Once the power he exerts on the Five Elements is exhausted, they will return to their original state. This process is determined by the degree of wear and tear."

As he said that, Samlet picked up the teacup, exerted force with his hand, and instantly the metal teacup returned to its original shape.

Seeing this, Zhu Lun could only smile awkwardly. He didn't say these things just now because he just wanted to show off in front of Chen Cheng.

If Chen Cheng could accept his theory of the five elements of creation, it would be good news for him as an alchemist.

But he didn't expect that Samlet would expose him immediately.

"Well, Samlett, Master Chikuwa's alchemy is not without merit, and I believe that Master Chikuwa's alchemy is definitely more than what he has shown now.

Otherwise, I can’t imagine why my ancestors would cooperate with Master Chikuwa.”

When Zhu Lun heard Chen Cheng arguing for him, he felt warm in his heart.

Then he spoke:

“That’s what the Palace Master said before.

Although this is a clever trick, if it is clever enough to deceive the world, then it is naturally not a trick."

This time, Samlett did not refute. After all, he couldn't lie with his eyes open.

Moreover, Chen Cheng’s previous words also showed that Chen Cheng was not fooled by the bamboo wheel and still had his own judgment.
