Chapter 1745

This was not the soldier's fault because the Philosopher's Stone is extremely difficult to refine. The alchemy power contained within it is not a normal power, but rather a very powerful one.

The soldier bowed and said, "Your Majesty! I have already refined that crystal."

Zhao Fu nodded, his eyes examining the soldier for any differences. He noticed a slight change in the soldier's aura and a slight increase in his strength, but not much else. "Use the power of the Philosopher's Stone," Zhao Fu commanded.

The soldier obeyed and used the power of the Philosopher's Stone. The stone within his body emitted a strong light, and a powerful aura spread from his body. He was engulfed in white flames.

The soldier's strength had greatly increased, while some parts of his body had began to mechanize, appearing white in color, though to a weak degree. But the increase in power was already substantial. Originally a soldier of the Second Order and seventh stage, he now had slightly over the Third Order in strength. Combined with the stone's special properties, this made the soldier possibly even stronger than an ordinary Third Order soldier.

If a person with lower cultivation were to use it, their strength would increase even more. At this thought, Zhao Fu revealed a pleased smile, thinking of calling forth Second and First Order soldiers to see how much they could increase their strength.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, the soldier spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain. His aura disappeared.

Zhao Fu was startled, not understanding what had happened. He went forward to examine the soldier's body and found that the powerful alchemy power had damaged the soldier's body.

Seeing this scene before him, Zhao Fu was stunned. Why did the Philosopher's Stone still cause such great damage to the soldier? Moreover, the Philosopher's Stone's power had already been changed to the spiritual power of the Heaven Awaken world, not the Philosopher's Stone of the alchemy world. Why did it cause damage to the soldier's body? Also, in the alchemy world, people had Philosopher's Stones, but they did not suffer from the same damage. Instead, it increased their strength.

After some thought, Zhao Fu realized that there was a big difference: the Philosopher's Stones in the alchemy world were condensed by themselves, not by arrays.

After figuring out the reason, Zhao Fu called a soldier over, had him stand in the alchemy array, and told him the method of condensing the philosopher's stone.

Zhao Fu crouched on the ground and directly activated the alchemy array. A force spread out, and a stream of energy emerged from the attribute stones around him, gathering towards the soldier at the center of the array.

Following Zhao Fu's instructions, the soldier sat cross-legged on the ground, absorbing the energy passing by and condensing the philosopher's stone within his body.

"Pu!"

Not long after, the soldier also spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground in pain within the alchemy array.

Zhao Fu immediately stopped the alchemy array and checked the soldier's body. He now had a headache, not understanding where the problem arose since he had clearly allowed the soldier to condense the philosopher's stone on his own, yet the result was still not satisfactory.

He called other soldiers over to carry the injured soldier away for treatment.

Zhao Fu fell into deep thought, and after this incident, he was certain that it was the alchemy power itself that caused harm to the soldiers. When the alchemy power entered the body, it would damage the body with that kind of power, rather than because of the philosopher's stone.

Wouldn't it mean that they had wasted so much effort creating the philosopher's stone, which had become useless?

Zhao Fu was unsure and melted the philosopher's stone, integrating it into his body, and then activating that kind of power. A burst of alchemy power spread within his body, but Zhao Fu did not feel any harm; instead, he felt a normal burst of power.

Now, Zhao Fu was even more puzzled about why there was no harm when he used it, but others were harmed.

Zhao Fu suddenly thought of a reason. The biggest difference between himself and others was that he now possessed alchemy bloodline, while others did not. That was why they would be harmed by the alchemy power.

However, it was a very difficult task to let the other people in Great Qin also possess the alchemy bloodline because the rules of the two worlds were different, and their fusion would definitely conflict. They were not Zhao Fu, who had Eight Prohibitions Blood Art, Saint Bloodline, and a huge amount of fortune.

Furthermore, even if they allowed Great Qin soldiers to possess the alchemy bloodline, if an entire force possessed the bloodline of the alchemy clan, they would definitely be treated as traitors and dealt with by the Heaven Awaken World.

Nevertheless, to verify whether it was the bloodline that caused the harm, Zhao Fu called over Mu Hua, the alchemy clan member who had previously submitted to Great Qin, and had him sit cross-legged on the alchemy array to absorb the alchemy power and see if there was any harm.

"Just absorbing a bit won't do," Mu Hua said with a look of discomfort. "Your Majesty, this is not the alchemical power of the alchemy world. I cannot absorb this power."

Zhao Fu's head was starting to ache. "This won't work, that won't work. Where is the problem? Is it impossible to use alchemy power to absorb it?"

After a while, Zhao Fu didn't give up and continued to study, because the Philosopher's Stone could have a great effect on Qin.

Now that there was no war and he didn't need to focus too much on internal affairs, Zhao Fu devoted himself to research.

During this time, materials kept coming in, and soldiers were continuously carried out with injuries.

Finally, five days later, Zhao Fu discovered the problem. First of all, the 24 kinds of attribute stones that were fused together contained his own power, rather than being born from heaven and earth. Thus could only be used individually by a weaker person.

The second reason was also related to bloodline. Alchemy power could not be separated from bloodline. Bloodline could prevent alchemy power from harming oneself, and with bloodline, one could better control alchemy power and increase the compatibility between oneself and alchemy power.

After these few days, Zhao Fu also found a solution to these two reasons. For the first reason of the attribute stones, Zhao Fu specifically built 24 alchemy arrays in the Heaven Awaken World world, using the power of heaven and earth to fuse them into alchemical attribute stones.

In this way, those attribute stones contained the power of heaven and earth and could be absorbed by anyone in the Heaven Awaken world.
