Chapter 277 - 273 Alchemy
Despite their influence and independence, the vast majority of dragons are realists, fully aware that, no matter how strong an individual creature is, it can still be defeated by enough enemies.
Many dragons seek long-term collaborations with other beings, recruiting capable and loyal subordinates in exchange for knowledge, assistance, and treasures.
Leon only knew that dragons recruited subordinates, but he wasn’t sure if they had the patience to mentor them. It might be plausible for Blue Dragons, but Red Dragons were notoriously impatient. That said, any major force inevitably places huge importance on cultivating talent.
Leon brushed off the thought after briefly pondering it. He was growing increasingly perplexed by the workings of his Golden Finger ability. Sometimes, it felt as though rewards would come for completing specific tasks, only for them not to appear. Other times, rewards seemed to arrive unexpectedly, simply for doing things out of curiosity.
There were so many things he didn’t understand—like the edge of the universe, like quantum entanglement, like whether there was an existence transcending dimensions beyond the Creator God.
Not comprehending wasn’t anything to worry about. Leon, with a furrowed brow, quickly focused his attention on the rewards from the Golden Finger ability.
To differentiate it from the inner core, alchemy could also be referred to as the Outer Elixir Technique, a process where various secret methods were employed to refine elixirs intended for consumption.
Alchemy, in actual history, wasn’t a big deal. But the alchemy he had mastered was certainly not the one found in historical texts. It was the alchemy depicted in mythological stories.
Leon shut his eyes and contemplated for a long time, wondering what kind of alchemy he had mastered and what types of elixirs he could refine.
For starters, the elixirs he could refine were divided into two categories: Human Elixirs and Heavenly Immortal Pills.
Cooling Powder belonged to the category of Human Elixirs; it could grant flame resistance for a limited time.
