It was just that in the early days of mankind, this kind of alchemy was boasted as if it was omnipotent. Its role was exaggerated, but it was not as great as it was boasted. After a long time, fewer and fewer people believed in it, leading to its eventual decline.
But in fact, alchemy was indeed a very magical skill, just like many chemical experiments were magical in the eyes of many people.
The alchemy of the Babylonian period could be said to be the most complicated period in human history, and the alchemy recorded on this slate was particularly important, even though these patterns were carved long after the demise of Babylon …
But Qin Fang's detection skill had already concluded that the content carved on this slate was actually a kind of inheritance of Babylonian alchemy.
Even this alchemy was a combination of many other kinds of alchemy, and then formed a more perfect combination …
If that was the case, Qin Fang naturally would not care, because alchemy had long been proven to be unscientific. No matter how much research and in-depth, it was impossible to have any special surprises.
In fact, in Qin Fang's view, this kind of Western alchemy was similar to some of the skills in Long Province's Thousand Arts.
It was just that there were specific differences, and some practical comparisons were needed to make a judgment.
But …
Was there anyone in this world who knew alchemy?
This answer was basically negative. Almost no one could actually practice alchemy, and they did not even have the courage to try it!
That was because alchemy had long been recognized as unscientific and impossible to succeed. Naturally, no one would waste their time and effort to research this unrewarding thing.
But the content recorded on this slate was different. Perhaps it was still unscientific, but this was relative to others. For Qin Fang, this alchemy was an incredible treasure.
Others could not do it. First, they could not decipher the meaning of the pattern on this slate. Second, it was almost impossible to learn alchemy.
But Qin Fang did not have these two reasons. Qin Fang had already seen that this pattern recorded alchemy, so the first reason was directly ruled out.
The reason why Qin Fang must get this slate was that he needed to learn the alchemy on it …
The master level detection skill had already hinted that this alchemy was like the formula of the heart repair pill that Qin Fang had previously obtained. As long as it fell into Qin Fang's hands, it could form a new skill at any time!
Alchemy skill!
Once this alchemy became a skill, then those unscientific and impossible things would become scientific and possible …
Because Qin Fang's skill system was originally a bug-like existence, if anyone wanted to explain it with scientific reasons, they would always be afraid that they would not be able to explain it clearly.
"It's you again …"
Originally, there were two people who were causing trouble for him. Yamamoto was already furious. He could not wait to immediately send his underlings to destroy these two families.
But he did not expect that at this time, his old enemy, Qin Fang, suddenly jumped out and directly raised the price of the previous auction price.
"Four million!"
Yamamoto and Qin Fang had a very unfriendly relationship. Yamamoto could not wait to get rid of Qin Fang quickly. Previously, Yamamoto even caused trouble for Qin Fang at the auction of the Ru kiln brush washer.
He bought the Ru Kiln Brush Washer at a high price, which made him a sucker. However, Qin Fang's words made him a fool, which was the main reason why he hated Qin Fang so much. Qin Fang's words made him a fool, which was why he hated Qin Fang.
Yamamoto was unhappy, so naturally, he would not be stingy. The price immediately rose, and the auction price was immediately raised to a higher level.
"Six million!"
Qin Fang's expression did not change. He directly increased the price by two million on the basis of Yamamoto. He wanted to deal with him with an overwhelming advantage.
Qin Fang could actually compete for the Ru kiln brush washer, but in the end, he chose to give up. It was not that he was afraid of Yamamoto, but there was no need for it.
But now it was different. Not to mention the opponent was Yamamoto, even if it was the young master of the top ten wealthy families, Qin Fang would definitely not be polite. He must get this slate.
Qin Fang must get it. He just had to pay some money. He did not have much now, but he already had a lot of money in his hands.
Qin Fang's income had been increasing, but there were very few places where he could spend money. It made him unable to spend money, so it was quite refreshing to spend it at this time.
It was just that Qin Fang was a little worried that Yamamoto would continue to spend money with him …
"You …"
Seeing Qin Fang increase the price so generously, even if Yamamoto had a grudge with Qin Fang, he was still provoked at this time.
Looking at Qin Fang's relatively young face, there was a faint smile on his face. It was almost impossible to see any emotion, as if there were no emotional fluctuations at all.
Yamamoto was furious. He wished he could immediately kill Qin Fang to ease his anger.
The more furious he was, the more serious his emotions would be. Everyone stared at him, as if waiting to see if he would continue to fight.
"You win. I don't want it anymore …"
However, to everyone's surprise, Yamamoto, who hated Qin Fang to the bone, actually chose to give up this time and no longer compete with Qin Fang.
With the experience of the Ru Kiln Brush Washer, Yamamoto was a little afraid that Qin Fang would trick him again. Six million was already a quite high number, and the price of this slate obviously did not reach this level. With such a price, whoever bought it would suffer a loss …
He had already been tricked once. How could he be tricked again this time?
Yamamoto thought about it briefly and felt that Qin Fang was fishing again. Once Yamamoto gave a higher price, he was afraid that Qin Fang would immediately choose to give up. Then, he would be tricked again.
This was obviously not what Yamamoto wanted to see. The money he spent was the working capital of the Yamaguchi-gumi branch in Hong Kong. He usually had to keep a large part for backup. The part that he could use was limited. It was estimated to be about ten million …
However, just the Ru Kiln Brush Washer had already cheated Yamamoto of three million. If this slate was auctioned for seven million, it was equivalent to Yamamoto spending ten million alone.
It was just that if someone else spent ten million to buy something, although the value of the item might not necessarily be as much as the auction price, it would definitely not be too far off …
The problem was that Yamamoto's ten million was diverted from the funds of the Yamaguchi-gumi branch in Hong Kong to buy two antiques of low value. Once this matter was exposed, Yamamoto was afraid that the Japanese would definitely send someone to trouble Yamamoto.
It was also because he understood this point that Yamamoto did not continue to waste time with Qin Fang. He decisively chose to give up, which could be regarded as helping Qin Fang.
"Tsk tsk … You spent six million to buy it …"
Seeing Qin Fang's particularly surprised look, Yamamoto suddenly felt that he had guessed right. Qin Fang must have planned to wait for him to bid again and decisively give up.
Now that Yamamoto gave up in advance, it was equivalent to catching Qin Fang off guard, so he was stunned there. Yamamoto's heart was suddenly very proud. He immediately opened his mouth and wanted to say a few sarcastic words to Qin Fang to fight back against Qin Fang's previous slander of him being "stupid" …
"Thank you for letting me win!"
But before Yamamoto's sarcastic words could be said, Qin Fang was actually very happy to express his gratitude to him.
He even seemed to be impatient for a long time. He immediately went to the auction to swipe his card to pay for the goods. It was best for this thing to fall into his hands as soon as possible.
If he didn't get it for a day, Qin Fang's heart would be in a panic.
So as soon as it was announced that the auction was over, Qin Fang immediately went to pay for the goods.
This kind of change almost made everyone present slightly stunned, but they quickly reacted. It seemed that all of them were fooled by Qin Fang.
To be exact, the slate that Qin Fang took a fancy to was obviously a very good thing. At least for Qin Fang, it was a very rare treasure.
That was why Qin Fang sold it so generously. Or rather, Qin Fang didn't intend to give up at all. Even if Yamamoto kept raising the price, Qin Fang might hold on all the way.
In the end, Yamamoto thought that he was smart. He thought that Qin Fang wanted to harm him again, so he took the initiative to give up halfway and let Qin Fang buy this treasure at the price of six million.
Although the auction house estimated the price to be three to four million, and the auction price of six million was already very generous, it was obvious that this price could be higher …
Qin Fang didn't pay attention to the thoughts and movements of the people here. He quickly went to the auction house and directly paid for the items. The auction price was six million yuan, and there were some other fees. Qin Fang didn't bother to check carefully, and directly swiped his card …
By the time he was done, the staff of the auction house had already brought the stone slab over.
In fact, this slate was not very big. It was about sixty meters long and forty meters wide. There was a very complicated pattern carved on it, some patterns that people couldn't understand at all.
"Tsk tsk, these are the real treasures …"
But who knew that the reason why this slate was so old was not that it had existed for a long time, nor was it the work of a famous person …
It was precisely the pattern on it that was the real essence of this slate, and it was also the place that Qin Fang cared about the most!
After the stone slab was carefully placed, Qin Fang slowly walked over. He extended his hand and gently stroked the stone slab that appeared a little cold.
"Obtained rare skill: Alchemy!"
Almost when Qin Fang touched this quaint slate, such a sound immediately sounded in Qin Fang's mind.
At the same time, Qin Fang opened the skill panel and a new skill appeared in the skill panel … Alchemy.
This was a rare skill, and it was an extremely rare skill.
"Alchemy, a rare skill, can allow some special tools to have some magical powers!"
"Note: Using Alchemy consumes Vitality Points, and the success rate of Alchemy increases with the skill level."
The introduction of Alchemy was very simple, and there were only these two lines. There was almost no difference between what was said and not much difference, which made Qin Fang somewhat depressed.
It was really that this damn introduction was too simple, and it almost didn't point out anything too substantial.
The only thing that Qin Fang felt was useful was the note … "Using Alchemy consumes Vitality Points".
The data of Vitality Points had just appeared, almost at the same time when Qin Fang obtained Alchemy. It was a part of the human body like Stamina Points and Spirit Points.
This point was similar to the game, so Qin Fang didn't feel that there was anything unexpected about it.
Of course, it wasn't that it didn't really say anything. It had basically said some of the key points of Alchemy, such as the phrase "magical powers".
If he knew about Alchemy before, Qin Fang definitely wouldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
But now, Qin Fang had already understood, and understood what this "magical powers" meant.
In Qin Fang's Item Box, there was an item that he had always kept in his hand, and he was not willing to throw it away. Even though its usefulness was not great, and there were not many opportunities to use it.
That was the first rare tool that Qin Fang obtained … Hooligan's Brick!
The Brick was accidentally obtained by Qin Fang, and it was also his first weapon. But its terrible durability made Qin Fang not dare to use it casually. He was afraid that if the durability ran out, this tool would be completely destroyed, and that would be a loss.
Qin Fang's repair skill could repair these tools, but the low repair success rate still made Qin Fang feel very speechless. Once the repair failed, the proficiency would automatically drop by one point, and that would reduce the upper limit of the already limited durability. It was really a loss.
The reason why the Brick became Qin Fang's important weapon, in addition to it being more convenient, was mainly because it had an extremely magical effect.
In the past, Qin Fang only thought that this effect was a part of the tool itself, but in fact, the other bricks that Qin Fang used did not have the "stun" function, only the rare brick in his hand could.
Now, Qin Fang truly understood why this rare brick was so rare, and the reason why it was so magical, was because it had something that other bricks did not have … "magical powers".
In other words, this rare brick was very likely made by an Alchemist using a normal brick.
If an ordinary brick was imbued with "magical power", then it would naturally become very extraordinary. That was why it could have some magical special effects.
"I'm rich, I'm really rich this time …"
After understanding this, Qin Fang's face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy. This newly acquired skill was really too powerful.
