Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years Chapter 372 Alchemy

Chapter 372 Alchemy

After resolving the issue with the three “Chosen Ones” around Bella, William returned with Maria.

“William, Miss Bell said she would invest five million dollars and only take a 10% share, leaving the rest for us to divide,” Maria really didn’t know what to say.

Five million dollars was not a small amount.

Such a large sum of money, converted into cash, would fill several boxes.

To open a small restaurant, the maximum investment is usually just a few hundred thousand dollars. Five million dollars could open what kind of restaurant?

William smiled and said, “I only want a 10% share too, as a technical investment, I don’t dare ask for more.”

“You guys… doing this, I really don’t know what to do.” Maria knew that Bella wasn’t short of money, and with William only wanting such a small share, she, who wasn’t contributing anything, would end up owning 80% of the shares.

What kind of situation is this?

How can this be acceptable?

What kind of favor was she owing?

“After the restaurant opens, you’ll mostly be in charge. Bella and I won’t be much help to you, so it’s fine for you to take 80%,” William preferred earning money through his own labor. Uptoodated from n/0/v𝒆lbIn.(co/m

For him, getting shares through technical skills seemed to lack “technical substance.”

“Alright then! I’ll handle the distribution of money.” Maria had thought it through. She would give them a larger share, especially Bella, who was investing five million dollars.

If they were to distribute just a few thousand dollars a month, how long would it take to recoup the investment?

“Up to you. You should go back and practice your cooking skills,” William was also thinking about whether he should deal with the “Chosen Ones” around Lila.

Based on today’s events, those “Chosen Ones” were a dangerous lot. The Carter family, although wealthy like the Bell family, couldn’t handle these superpowered individuals.

One point was that the 13th Bureau surprisingly didn’t have “Chosen Ones” infiltrating it.

Probably they were scared off.

Rumor had it that the 13th Bureau had at least a Quasi-Deity level big shot. Who would dare to mess with them?

Returning home, it was already near evening. Seraphina was set to undergo soul separation with Sofia tomorrow, and today they still needed to loosen the soil for the Eternal Vine.

“Sister, will this little plant flower?” Amy, squatting nearby, curiously asked Seraphina as she loosened the soil around the Eternal Vine.

Seraphina looked at Amy with a gentle smile, “This little plant can not only bloom but also grow into a beautiful big sister.”

“Wow!” Amy’s mouth opened wide in amazement as she looked at Seraphina and asked, “Will it grow into a fairy sister?”

“Hahaha!” Seraphina laughed merrily, finding the child even more adorable, “Of course, it will be a fairy sister!”

Amy looked thoughtfully at the “little plant” in front of her, not saying a word.

“How about you take care of this little plant from now on?” Seraphina didn’t really expect William to take good care of the Eternal Vine, so she had to entrust it to Amy.

“Okay!” Amy happily agreed.

A plant that could grow a fairy sister! If she grew it, would the fairy sister grant her lots of tasty snacks?

Seraphina didn’t leave William’s yard but decided to stay.

Seeing that Seraphina hadn’t left, Alice naturally wouldn’t leave either. If she did, who knew what this “Succubus” might do to William.

Time flew quickly, and it was already 11 PM.

Looking up at the full moon, William said to Seraphina and Alice, “Get ready, both of you.”

At this time, the nearby neighbors were asleep, so basically, whatever William did wouldn’t wake them.

The full moon was the best time to practice alchemy.

“What should I prepare?” Alice looked at William, puzzled.

“Learn alchemy!” William glanced at Alice and said, “Alchemy can enhance your control over psychic power. Don’t you want to learn to fly in the air? Learning alchemy is the first step!”

Flying in the air also involves controlling the body with psychic power, similar to controlling objects to fly, requiring strong control over psychic power.

Alchemy, on the other hand, can train the control of psychic power to a very detailed and precise level.

William had decided to properly teach Alice, and as for what level of achievement she could reach, it would depend on her own abilities.

“Master, are you going to use alchemy?” Seraphina couldn’t help but feel nervous. Normally, a soul from the Divine Realm coming to Earth would either erase the host’s soul or, like her current situation, share a body with someone like Sofia.

It was only because of meeting a super powerful being like William that she believed in the possibility of soul separation.

But even with alchemy, a normal alchemist couldn’t guarantee a hundred percent success rate in every experiment, could they?

But the person in front of her was William!

“Yep!” William responded nonchalantly and said to Alice, “Watch carefully!”

He then summoned an alchemy furnace out of thin air.

The furnace was of an ancient bronze color, adorned with complex carvings and various mysterious runes, clearly not an ordinary item.

This was the Celestial Furnace William had used thousands of years ago.

When the Celestial Furnace was summoned, Seraphina felt an overwhelming force sweep over the area, with a faint scent of herbs bringing a sense of comfort.

The Wutong trees in the yard even began to bloom slowly, with umbrella-shaped white Wutong flowers drifting in the air under the moonlight, creating a unique atmosphere.

“Master, this alchemy furnace…” Seraphina, having seen many wonders in the Divine Realm, though her current strength was much diminished, still had discerning eyes.

“Don’t ask!” It had been many years since William had used his alchemy, but when he summoned the Celestial Furnace, life seemed to spring forth on the streets of New York. Even in the heat of summer, the sparse greenery in the city was revitalized, flowers in the parks bloomed competitively, and even the Winter Jasmine, which usually bloomed only in winter, miraculously flowered with yellow blossoms.

Seraphina held her breath, she wasn’t foolish,she knew this alchemy furnace was definitely divine!

“The first thing to do is control the materials you put into the alchemy furnace,” William said with a slight frown, “Then it’s about controlling the heat.”

Alice stood by, bewildered. Controlling the heat?

There wasn’t any fire burning underneath!

And she had no idea how to handle fire…

Wasn’t this making things difficult for her?

“You just remember the process for now, and I’ll give you a book on alchemy tomorrow,” William said, “Alchemy is similar to medicine in some ways, nothing too complicated.”

Seraphina stood by, dumbfounded. William, you can’t be serious!

Doesn’t alchemy require intense concentration?

Teaching an apprentice while performing alchemy, isn’t that a bit too casual?

William smiled and replied, “Pay close attention, the essence of alchemy lies in the control of elements.” As he spoke, he extended his hands, his fingers gently moving as if drawing some invisible pattern in the air. As he gestured, mysterious halos began to flicker around the Celestial Furnace, and streams of colored light flowed from his fingertips, wrapping around the furnace, forming a complex magical array.

Then came…

Refinement complete!

A crystal-clear, gem-like divine medicine flew out from the Celestial Furnace and landed in William’s hand.

Alice and Seraphina were both astonished.

Ah, so simple…

This is alchemy?!

Are you kidding?

According to legend, didn’t Nicolas Flamel spend decades trying to transmute the Philosopher’s Stone?

William’s approach seemed almost like cooking.

No, no, no!

William was even more serious when he cooked. He just put the ingredients in, didn’t seem to do much, released a magical array, and then the divine medicine was created?

All this in less than ten minutes!

This was probably like making instant oatmeal or toasting a slice of bread?

What they didn’t know was that if William wasn’t teaching Alice, even the process of releasing the magical array would be unnecessary.

In the past, when he used alchemy, he would just throw things in, wave his hand, and it was done.

Do you need to cast magic when using alchemy?
