Me! The Strongest Alchemist! Chapter 138 – Rescue Rosa, Philosopher's Stone  

The next morning, Harold brought the dying Rosa to the bottom of the Alchemy Tower on the Red Crystal Gargoyle. Mas slowly woke up from his dream under the reminder of the alchemical creature.

Looking at the grandfather and grandson under the Alchemy Tower, Mas washed up before taking the three Anthrax herbs on the table and flew down from the window on the Red Crystal Gargoyle.

He handed the Anthrax to Harold, who ground the three of them and poured them into Rosa's mouth.

Then, an unforgettable scene occurred for Harold and Rosa. After eating three Anthraxes, Rosa's entire body emitted a dark glow.

After the dark glow dissipated, Rosa felt that his entire body became light. He actually broke through to the Legendary stage!

On the other side, Harold, who was an experienced peak Legendary Expert, naturally sensed the change in Rosa's body. He could not help but look into the sky and laughed, “God bless the Pine family. This time, I have to thank Nephew Dyson and Master Mas. Not only did they cure my grandson's illness, but they also helped him break through to the Legendary stage!

How about this, Nephew Dyson, go back and ask your master what he needs. As long as it's not too ridiculous, I, Harold, guarantee on the reputation of the Pine family that I will offer Master Mas everything I have!”

Looking at the confident Harold in front of him, Mas felt that he had made a killing. With the existence of the formula and alchemy drugs, this Legendary alchemy drug was just a piece of cake for him. He did not expect to be able to exchange it for a promise from Harold.

As the saying went, one does not slap a smiling face. When Mas heard this, he replied, “Then, on behalf of my master, I thank His Majesty!”

Just like that, the two award-winning actors returned to the Alchemy Tower and the capital city respectively after a round of flattery.

Just as Mas thought that he could study the alchemy notes left behind by Dyson carefully, he did not expect that Belek would send someone to find him. Belek told Mas that recently, on the battlefields of the Moulan Empire and the Storm Empire, some mages had used an alchemy enhancement item called the Philosopher's Stone.

It could actually turn a Level 3 mage into a Level 6 great mage in an extremely short period of time. Although the effects of this increase were determined by the level of the user, the higher the current level of the user, the lesser the increase in level. On the contrary, the lower the current level of the user, the greater the increase.

Regarding this alchemy item that had never appeared before, Harold told Belek to ask Mas if he had seen an alchemy item like this before.

Mas was extremely familiar with the Philosopher's Stone. However, those were all historical rumors recorded on the Blue Planet in his previous life.

In the description of alchemists, the Philosopher's Stone had the characteristics of the sun. Basil Valentin believed that the Philosopher's Stone “had a color that was close to dark red flesh or the ruby red color of the pomegranate. Its weight was much heavier than what people had deduced from its color”. “In the final stages of perfection completed and formed by nature, it should melt like lattice or gold. Its appearance is translucent.”

However, it could be in the form of a red powder or a red tincture. Sometimes, “if you try to dissolve it, it can be dissolved. If you want to condense it, it will be condensed”, and the ninth-century Persian alchemist, Laz, seemed to have a different point of view. “It is a substance made of four uniform properties and three uniform forces. This substance and power do not cancel each other out and can make it noble… Water cannot dissolve it, fire cannot destroy it. By its utility and exquisiteness, it is spirit. By its strength and toughness, it is metal.”

There were also scholars who believed that the Philosopher's Stone was the closest item to God An, which was the Elixir of Immortality refined from the Blood of An. Alchemists believed that cheap metals like copper, lead, tin, and iron were impure and immature as a single metal material, while gold was pure and completely mature. Then, after purification, a cheap metal could become gold.

Some alchemists worked on this transformation their entire lives. At the same time, alchemists compile a series of complicated and mysterious theories to explain this change.

Later, alchemists turned metal into ethics and human nature, connecting humans to God, which filled alchemy with the color of religious mysticism. Refining immortal pills to cure people also became an important goal in alchemy.

In the eyes of alchemists, the disease is the result of the human body being in an immature state. When the human body is in a fully mature state, it can become immortal. This kind of life extension usually intersects alchemy with other occult studies such as astrology and witchcraft.

Therefore, Mas believed that the second theory was more suitable for the Philosopher's Stone. It was the origin of all life. Made by the Blood of An, it could become anything.

As for the exact use of the fake Philosopher's Stone that he was playing with, he had to wait for Mas to research it.

“Analysis and breakdown!”

Mas muttered to the Philosopher's Stone in his hand.

In the next second, the Creator's Alchemy Platform flashed with a beam of blue light. The Philosopher's Stone floated uncontrollably and fused into the Creator's Alchemy Platform.

After a minute, the blue light was extinguished. Mas looked at the items that had broken down on the Creator's Alchemy Platform. The basic materials were a Level 5 Magic Absorbing Stone and an Enchantment Stone, followed by an alchemy material that was similar to a spirit.

Then, what shocked Mas was a heart that belonged to a human. Yes, you did not read wrong. It was a heart from a human mage and the product of it was a demonic creature from the Undead Scourge.

As for why Mas could recognize it as an invasive species from the outside world, it was because he had seen the appearance of this creature in Dyson's alchemy notes.

Could it be that the true power behind the Philosopher's Stone was a temporary power treasure that combined a person's corpse with the soul-devouring ability of the undead creature, along with the Magic Absorbing Stone and the Enchantment Stone?

Could this be the true ability of the Philosopher's Stone? There were many creatures that could enslave souls. Why did he have to choose the undead creatures that invaded from another world? Could it be that the instigator had a bigger scheme?

At the thought of this, Mas hurriedly flipped over and rode the Red Crystal Gargoyle towards the Storm Empire's palace. He wanted to tell this news to Harold and make him take it seriously.
