Alchemist in Death

Chapter 277 The Sage's Stone

"Snapped!"

The next day, when the warm sun had just risen, a crisp sound of hitting sounded in the yard of the Fourth Division.

"Concentrate! Don't think about anything else!"

'Holy shit, Captain can do this...'

"Snapped!"

'how……'

"Snapped!"

Whenever Ichiro's thoughts start to wander, the captain standing aside can always notice it immediately and draw a bamboo sword.

"Concentrate. Sword Zen emphasizes calmness of mind and thoughts..."

"Snapped!"

"Don't think too much! Even if I'm talking to you now..."

"Snapped!"

"Don't even think about it!"

"Snapped!"

As another sword hit Ichiro, the captain couldn't help but sigh, how could she teach such a guy~
"You dare to be distracted again! I will replace it with a real sword!"

Hearing this, Ichiro's spirit instantly condensed and he officially entered the sword Zen state. After all, real swords and bamboo swords are different. Real swords are very painful...

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for Ichiro's thoughts to start again...

'By the way, that experiment might...'

"Snapped!"

'Concentrate, concentrate! '

'...'

'Is there any way to improve the effectiveness of sword Zen...'

"Snapped!"

'Concentrate, concentrate! '

……

Time passed slowly, and soon, with the sound of the bamboo sword hitting, an hour and a half passed.

Ichiro slowly opened his eyes and saw three or four broken bamboo swords scattered on the ground and the bamboo sword starting to fall apart in the captain's hand. Ichiro's mouth twitched.

"Captain, look at these broken swords on the ground, don't you feel sad?"

The captain looked at the sword on the ground in silence for a moment, and nodded with Ichiro's happy eyes: "Indeed, I didn't feel it when I hit it, but now I feel really distressed when I see it."

However, before Ichiro could be happy for long, the captain changed the topic.

"It's better to use real swords from now on. It's a waste to destroy so many monsters."

Ichiro: "???"

"Captain! What about me? I was the one who got beaten!"

"You? Before you said this, why didn't you think about why I broke the bamboo sword? How long has it been since you practiced Sword Zen? No, I should ask you this. How many times have you contacted Sword Zen?"

"Hey hey~"

"." The captain rolled his eyes at Ichiro, turned around and walked outside.

Seeing that he barely got through the test, Ichiro got up and patted the light dust on his body, followed behind the captain, and asked curiously: "Captain, why is it so difficult for me to do sword meditation? Obviously, my mental state of practice has not fallen all the time, shouldn't it be Could it be that damn swordsmanship talent again?"

"It has nothing to do with that." The captain shook his head and replied, "You used shooting instead of sword meditation for meditation training, right?"

"Well, it's because I'm used to it, and it also allows me to maintain my sense of shooting, so I won't become rusty with my skills."

"Well, that's why."

"Why? Do different meditation methods have such a big impact?"

"Don't underestimate the difference. Your meditation method for shooting tends to be moving. Although they are all meditations, that kind of meditation mainly exercises the sensitivity of your thinking, but it is worse in meditation. After all, that kind of training itself It requires you to be highly concentrated. Although that kind of training cannot be completely discarded, it is time to replace it.

"You are already very skilled at moving. Now you should learn to be still. Only in this way can the things you added to your body through alchemy be used better."

"Those things? Captain, you mean those sword skills in Sword King mode, right?" Ichiro was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"." The captain was silent for a moment. She didn't want to admit that Ichiro's swordsmanship was, but at the same time, she also understood that the right to name it was in Ichiro's hands, so she sighed, "As you like, yes, it's your swordsmanship!"

"Will this have any impact?"

"Yes, some swordsmanship has certain requirements on the state of mind. Different states of mind will lead to slightly different swordsmanship. You will know about it later."

"So, Captain, you have trained in both? How did you practice meditation?" Ichiro looked at the captain curiously.

"Me? Killing, do you want to experience it?"

"Uh" Looking at the captain who said the most terrifying words with the calmest expression, Ichiro was stunned, and then silently followed her with his head down, not to be offended, not to be offended~
Silent all the way, Ichiro followed the captain for a while and then started walking towards the fifth division.

Although he now wears many hats, the Technology Development Bureau has been able to operate independently after many years of operation. He only needs regular inspections. Although the Ghost Road Research Bureau cannot escape, fortunately, theoretical research is inherently It's difficult to produce results, the financial requirements are not high, and the things themselves are few, so you can get rid of them.

Although there are a lot of things going on in the Liting Team, most of them are gathering intelligence and then classifying it, so it can be done by splitting up a thread.

So in fact, the only thing he needs to be busy with is the work of three seats in the fourth division. However, this part of the work has also been shared by the world and Yueling...

Mmm, the soft rice is so delicious!

Unfortunately, not now.

Sighing, Ichiro walked into the fifth division, greeting everyone along the way, and then walked into the captain's office.

"Huh? You came so early?" Ichiro asked in surprise when he saw that his best friend was already handling work.

"There's no way~ I have to behave better, so that I can secure my position as vice-captain!" The best friend in the role said firmly, raising her white fists.

"Tsk~ I really envy you. You have this kind of opportunity to fight. Unlike me, I have everything~"

"..." The best friend in the role stopped talking. She lowered her head silently and started to deal with the work. Is this human language?

Ichiro chuckled and began to sit down and deal with the work. The fifth team didn't have many things to do, at least compared to the fourth team. Especially after the "Skynet" in Rukongai was built, things became even more complicated. not enough.After all, the Death Gods stationed in the current world are generally quite strict. If there are no accidents, they can basically protect the current world very well.

Therefore, the work of the fifth team is actually linked to that of other teams. As long as they don't make mistakes, there will be very few things here. On the contrary, there will be a lot.

"By the way, Ichiro, are you free tonight?" After a while, my best friend seemed to have thought of something and raised her head and asked.

"At night? Not tonight. I have an experiment to do tonight. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to treat you to a meal and thank you."

"Thank me? Thank you for what?" Ichiro looked at his best friend who was playing second-hand in confusion.

"Because you made me the vice-captain~"

"This is your own strength, not my credit."

"Speaking of these..." the best friend who played the role of a helper smiled helplessly, "Isn't it clear to me? If it weren't for you, how could I be the vice-captain? There are too many more suitable Death Gods than me, and the position of vice-captain is not the same as the position of vice-captain. Officials are different, you can’t be one just by having the ability, it depends on your connections.”

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow, I should be free tomorrow."

"Well, let me go back and talk about it."

……

In fact, her best friend was not wrong. Even if she now mastered the powerful Hakkai, if Ichiro was not the captain of the fifth division, then the vice-captain would basically have nothing to do with her.

Because most captains find their deputy captains from people they know well. For example, when Shunsui became the captain in the original book, he took his adjutant Ise Nanao with him when he was in the eighth division and appointed him. The position of deputy captain.

So if it weren't for Ichiro, the position of vice-captain might not really matter to her.

……

"Ah~~~"

In the evening, Ichiro, who had been working all day, stood at the door of the fifth squadron and stretched himself against the sunset, making his girlfriend who was a supporting player beside him laugh repeatedly.

"Are you so tired?"

"The intensity is average, mainly because I'm tired. It's been a long time since I've worked for such a long time. Before, I basically slept-eat-experimented-eat-sleep-eat-experimented. Now I'm quite uncomfortable working for such a long time. "

Ichiro smacked his lips and said with some emotion.

The best friend in the suit: "...can you say a little less about such enviable words?"

"Haha~ Are you jealous? It's okay to be jealous. Your pain is the source of my happiness!" After saying that, Ichiro breathed a sigh of relief and looked relaxed, "Phew~ I feel much better~"

"I'm beginning to regret recommending myself as your vice-captain. Why did you forget this habit of yours? Can I still regret it now?"

"Haha~ you've fallen into my trap and you still want to run away? Is it possible?"

The best friend in the role looked at Ichiro with a smile and her eyes moved: "That's right, otherwise why would it be called a thief's trap?"

Unfortunately, at this time, Ichiro's mind had gradually shifted to the experiment in the evening, and he did not notice anything unusual about his best friend.

"There are still experiments, I'm leaving first, see you tomorrow~bye~" The two of them came to a fork in the road, Ichiro waved to his best friend, and walked into the fork.

"Well, see you tomorrow, bye~" Looking at Ichiro's leaving figure, her best friend bit her lip. One day, she will be strong enough to stand beside Ichiro and walk the same path as him!

"looking at what?"

"Huh?!" Just as the best friend in the role was looking at the direction where Ichiro was leaving and was deep in thought, a voice suddenly sounded beside her, making her tremble.

"Huh~what~ Suzuran, you scared me to death~" Seeing that the person who came was Suzuran, the best friend who was the best friend gasped for air, patted her chest to catch her breath, and complained with a pouted mouth.

"You should be the one who scares me, right? Why did you become the vice-captain of the fifth team after not seeing each other for a day? Huh?" Suzulan looked at her best friend who was a part-timer with a faint look.

The best friend in the role turned her head away with a guilty conscience and said hesitantly: "I just want to be the vice-captain. This is what my family requires of me. Yes, that's right! I just want to be the vice-captain!"

"Nonsense! You just want to sneak away! Why didn't you sign up when Captain Unohana selected his assistant before you wanted to be the vice-captain? You sneaky cat!"

"You still have the nerve to accuse me? Didn't you also sneak away?"

"I do not have!"

"You have!"

"I do not have!"

"You" was halfway through the words, the good friend suddenly stopped, looked at Ling Lan quietly, and then said, "Aren't we bored like this?"

".is a bit."

"I know a new rouge shop. Let's go and check it out?"

'Do you want to turn over the story now?Innocent! '

"Okay, I just happened to have almost used it~"

Just when the two women reconciled inexplicably (maybe), Ichiro on the other side quickly rushed back to his laboratory in the Fourth Division. He had been pressing down on the experiment on the Philosopher's Stone for a long time, and he couldn't wait. Got it!
The Philosopher's Stone is different from the pseudo-Philosopher's Stone made from life in Ichiro's second life. What Ichiro is making now is the Philosopher's Stone that is most in line with the characteristics of the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

That is, possessing the Philosopher's Stone that makes the holder immortal, even immortal!
The reason why Ichiro came up with this crazy idea was mainly because of the special spirit structure discovered when he was studying the dream system built using the power of the Spirit King, which can almost complete any spirit structure.

And this is the hope of eternal life!
The reason why people die is because there is an upper limit to the number of cell divisions. During each division, the cells age more and more and eventually die. The situation of the God of Death is roughly the same. The structure of the soul will gradually become incomplete. Eventually, with the death of the God of Death, he dissipated into spirit children.

If this kind of spirit substructure can be completed and truly have the ability to complete the structure of all spirit substructures, then immortality and immortality will no longer be empty talk!
It's a pity that this thing is very difficult. Ichiro and the others have been studying it for so many years, but there is no progress at all. However, the speed of making the collapse jade is much faster and improved a lot.

Originally, Ichiro planned to continue the research slowly. Anyway, it would take a long time. Sooner or later, he would succeed in the research. After all, in scientific research, the results are important, but the process is also a valuable asset.

That's what he originally thought, until...
The conversation with Aizen at Xuye Palace a few days ago gave Ichiro some new inspiration. Since he couldn't complete it, or even couldn't find a clue to complete it, why not try Bengyu?

The real power of Beng Yu is to shape the imagination of the holder or nearby life, as long as this possibility really exists, it will succeed.

So, what will happen if Bengyu’s power is used on this?
Needless to say, if he succeeds, he can further experiment with the various powers of the Philosopher's Stone. If it fails, it is also a harvest. At least he knows that this road is blocked, and this kind of completion may not exist, so he can also receive it in time. Hands, use your energy elsewhere.

But for now, Ichiro still feels that there is a lot of hope. Don’t ask, it’s just the man’s (protagonist’s) intuition!
"Haven't Moon Spirit and the World arrived yet?"

"Om~"

A drone hovered next to Ichiro, and Chi's voice came from it.

"Yes, they still need to sort out some documents."

Ichiro nodded, and then walked towards the experimental table. At the same time, he looked through some Bengyu data that Zhi had called out for him.

When he came to the experimental table, Ichiro looked at the materials on it and fell into deep thought. In order to use Bengyu to perfect the special spirit structure, he must first make a Bengyu, and it is a perfect Bengyu, not a incomplete one.

And with the current technology, all that can be made is the incomplete Honyu. Whether it is him, Aizen or Urahara, it is the same. The complete Honyu can only be made with two incomplete ones like Aizen did in the original work. The fusion of collapsed jade.

But the broken jade made in this way will completely get out of control.
Therefore, which option to choose is also a question.
