The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

For example, make judgments and guesses based on the materials the other party needs.

but……

Lu Lin looked at the collection sheet in his hand.

There are a total of eight materials on the collection list, and they don't look unusual.

But the problem is...

"The blood kite flower is not on it..."

Lu Lin looked at his colleague who was carrying an empty backpack in the distance and leaving the scene quickly.

If he remembered correctly, the other party had just handed over a large number of blood kites.

"You are so careful," Lu Lin curled his lips, "It seems that there is more than one version of this recipe..."

Chapter 34 When it comes to doing shady things, they are really good at it.

As a bowl, Lu Lin returned home.

Tanuki was still sleeping, but the rice bowl and medicine bottle on the table were empty, indicating that she should have woken up for once.

Lu Lin walked up to her and carefully wiped off the rice particles on her face and hands. Then he sat down at the dining table, lit an oil lamp, took out a pen and paper, and began to sort out the information gathered today.

The first is the collection request form given by the other party.

There are a total of eight kinds of materials on it, five of which are very common, and the remaining three are relatively rare, but they are all relatively easy to collect.

Obviously, this is not all the material requirements of the other party.

Setting up such an advanced magic circle will definitely require a lot of high-end materials, and even many extremely rare treasures.

Of course, it is impossible to entrust collectors to collect these things on site. High-end materials are not the ubiquitous velvet grass. There are only a few types that can be found in the canyon, and it all depends on luck. If you are not lucky, you will be unlucky for a few months. Maybe no one can encounter it, let alone those rare treasures in the world that are rare to find.

Of course, not only are there no advanced materials on this demand list, but even for ordinary materials, the requirements are certainly not fully listed.

Eight kinds of ordinary materials, if it is just an intermediate or high-level formula, it would be just right.

But it is absolutely impossible to detect a magic circle with a radius of hundreds of miles using only such a few materials.

Lu Lin's first reaction after discovering this incident was that the Holy Religion might only lack these materials, and they had already sufficient reserves of other materials.

But when I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong.

They are all ordinary materials. The other party is a state religion after all. If you want to prepare them yourself, it is not difficult to get them all.

This was not done but was purchased locally, apparently to save transportation costs.

Logistics in this world is very expensive. The most expensive thing about high-end materials is the materials, and the most expensive thing about low-end materials is the freight.

If large quantities of cheap materials are transported entirely over long distances, the cost may even be dozens or hundreds of times higher than their own price.

Since they decided to save this money, there is no reason to save the shipping costs of only a few materials.

Later, after seeing a colleague hand in materials that were not on the demand list, Lu Lin also confirmed that the other party was not lacking only these materials, but deliberately gave him an incomplete demand list.

Or it should be said that the demand order each of them received was only a part of the total demand.

As for the reason, it's probably because they don't want people to get the complete recipe request list easily.

And this was the reason why Lu Lin stayed at the scene all day.

He has been doing the same thing during this period, which is to remember what materials his colleagues have submitted.

It is estimated that the people of the Holy Religion would not have thought that in this remote place in the countryside, there would be an alchemist eyeing them. Moreover, this alchemist is a special case. Not only has he been working as a material collector nearby for a long time, he has also been responsible for all kinds of local things. He knows all the materials well, and he also has countless relevant knowledge about low-level materials.

Picking up the pen, Lu Lin began to expand the recipe list on a new piece of white paper, listing all the materials that his colleagues had submitted during the day. In the end, a total of more than 30 materials were listed.

Although these are just ordinary materials that the opponent will use this time, and may not be complete, these many materials are at least enough for Lu Lin to analyze the general direction of the array layout.

Putting this list of materials in front of him, Lu Lin opened the recipe manual in his mind and began to study these materials one by one.

After half an hour, Lu Lin finally raised his head.

And, he came to a conclusion that even he couldn't believe.

"What they want to set up is... a spell formation?"

----

----

Lu Lin is just a junior alchemist now.

Moreover, he is an alchemist who is relatively weak in formations.

Among the formulas he mastered, the only ones related to formations were "Curse Formation", "Necromantic Formation" and "Blood Sacrifice".

To be honest, at first glance, it is not something that can be related to the Holy Religion.

So after coming to the conclusion that the Holy Cult might be setting up a spell formation, Lu Lin's first person to doubt was himself.

Could it be that he didn't understand other types of formations at all, which led to his misjudgment?

But after repeated verification, Lu Lin denied this possibility.

Although he didn't know much about formations, he did know a lot about materials, at least these common materials.

Lu Lin knew very well what these materials were used for and what role they would play in the formation.

Looking at the entire recipe list, 70.00% of it is made of neutral base materials. These materials are like white water when preparing drinks. They are used in large quantities but will not affect anything.

The focus is still on the remaining 30.00%. These materials are called "guiding basic materials" by Lu Lin. They are like the most basic flavoring agents when preparing drinks, which will determine the specific direction in which the taste of the drink develops.

Is it sweet or sour?Or bitter and spicy?

At present, the "guiding basic materials" in this formula are almost all materials that guide negative energy and curse energy.

"You obviously put on a great and upright appearance in the news magazine, criticizing wizards and black alchemy when you have nothing to do, but in the end you found someone to arrange a spell formation yourself?" Lu Lin leaned on the back of his chair and looked at the ceiling.

He did not mean to say that the Holy Religion was hypocritical.

After all, he already knew how hypocritical these guys were.

The point is why you should choose the spell formation...

Thinking of this, Lu Lin closed his eyes again and opened the recipe list, wanting to prove one thing.

This time, it didn't take him too long to open his eyes again. However, when he opened his eyes, Lu Lin's face also looked a little ugly.

After realizing that the other party planned to use the spell formation to track Li Mi, Lu Lin realized a possibility.

Compared with other formations, spell formations are very useful when tracking fixed living targets.

Use the target's flesh and blood as the formation eye to track the formation of the target's body.

Even if this type of formation is only rudimentary, it only takes a bottle of the target's blood to lock the opponent's position within a radius of several thousand meters. Lu Lin compared other search formations in the formula list. At the same stage, This type of spell array is so powerful in its effect and so cost-effective that it can be said to stand out from the crowd.

The basic formation has such superior performance, it is not difficult to imagine how powerful its advanced version will be.

So Lu Lin was guessing whether the opponent was using the annual luxurious and powerful enhanced version of this type of spell formation.

As expected, the materials related to flesh and blood were all in demand.

At this point, Lu Lin is basically determined.

What the Holy Cult has deployed is a high-level flesh-tracking spell array.

As for the flesh and blood, they probably collected them in advance when Li Mi was still fighting dungeons for them.

To be honest, this result actually exceeded Lu Lin's initial expectations.

At first, he actually didn't think that he could really tell what the magic circle that the Holy Cult was setting up was based on his own knowledge.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually arranged a spell formation.

No, I shouldn’t say it’s just right.

It should be said that the opponent did not shy away from black alchemy and directly chose the most efficient flesh-tracking spell array.

But this does explain why the Holy Cult set up formations in a closed environment. Presumably these sanctimonious hypocrites don't want the world to know that they can also use curse formations, something they criticize every day.

But knowing the result, Lu Lin's mood still couldn't get better.

After all, this is the most practical tracking array. It does not rely on light, sound waves, vibration, or other media. As long as it is within the effective range, the resonance of flesh and blood can penetrate almost all obstacles.

If you want to avoid this curse...

Lu Lin closed his eyes.

I flipped through the alchemy manual in my mind all the way to the bottom, then clicked on the table of contents at the end of the recipe, and my eyes stopped at the only entry in it.

[Secret Formula]·[Forbidden Spell]·[King Gulan’s Useless Sleeping Fountain]

This is also a formula that Lu Lin once felt was extremely useless and thought that he would never be able to refine it in his life.

Chapter 35 Why don’t you play according to the routine?

【King Qulan’s Useless Sleeping Fountain】

【formula】

[Gargoyle Heart 1 Ley Vein Crystal Core Dust 2700g Earth Core Spring 800 liters Gray Cloud Mushroom Powder 500g Velvet Grass Dried Powder 3300g Animal Bone Bone Powder 180g]

【Effect】

[The soaked person will gradually turn into a stone statue within one day and maintain it for ten days]

【Precautions】

[The process of turning into a stone statue will bear the same intense pain as the petrification curse]

[The stone statue cannot be damaged, otherwise it will lose the damaged parts or die after resurrection]

[Background introduction]

[It is said that the magical spring created by King Quran during his pursuit of immortality has the ability to temporarily transform people into rocks. In a sense, it realizes the ability to temporarily sleep and wake up in the future. However, due to the need to use it After enduring severe pain for a whole day, he could only sleep for ten days, hence the name Useless Sleeping Spring]

This is the only forbidden spell in Lulin's recipe list.

As a forbidden spell, it is classified as a primary formula. The effect of this forbidden spell lives up to expectations and is extremely funny.

It endures pain for one day, and then turns into stone for ten days. During this period, if someone hits it, it will fall off.

It's equally funny when used to deal with enemies. You have to soak them in a pool for a whole day to turn them into stone. It feels like you can do anything with this time.

So Lu Lin always felt that this was a pure clown formula.

I even thought that I would never refine such a stupid thing in my life.

But he never thought that one day he would really count on this stupid thing.

It is extremely difficult to avoid flesh and blood tracking. The most effective way is to escape from its effective range.

If you want to rely on other things to block the detection, at least Lu Lin doesn't have the ability.

If you can't escape or block it, then there is only one idea left.

That is to change the state of the person being tracked so that it is in a state that does not resonate with flesh and blood tracking.

There are actually many similar states, including necromancy that temporarily turns people into spiritual bodies, curses that temporarily turn people into energy bodies, and spell formations that temporarily turn people into elemental bodies.

But the duration of these things is too short. After all, they are all elementary formulas. Even the longest one can turn a person into an elemental body for 3 minutes.

Lu Lin did not have clairvoyance and ears, and it was impossible to know how long it would take for the people of the Holy Cult to activate the formation. It was tantamount to wishful thinking to use the formation for 3 minutes to avoid the opponent's detection at the right time.

After much deliberation, this is the only feasible formula.

"King Gulan's Useless Sleeping Spring" is not an ordinary petrification curse that only petrifies a person's skin, but can completely turn a person into a stone statue from the outside in for ten days. As long as the timing is right, relying on this thing can indeed Chance to avoid the detection of the Holy Cult.

But the problem is also obvious...

The first is cost.

This thing is a basic formula, but the materials required are more expensive than the last.

Velvet grass and animal bone meal are easy to say.

Although Gray Cloud Mushroom is not a rare thing, it is not cheap for a pound of powder.
