Chapter 3350: Self-taughtEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"I’m only guessing," Adam explained lightly. "I saw in the notes that the core runestone for the world teleportation passage in the spirit world is refined from raw materials found in the Thunder Basin. I thought there might be a connection between the two."

Adam then asked, "Is the Thunder Basin currently controlled by the church?"

"Yes. The Land of Thunder is very dangerous, so the church assigned personnel to strictly oversee it. Entry and exit require church approval."

Damon said, "Adam, the church has always strictly restricted high-tier heroic spirit gemstones. They won’t provide us with the materials. We should probably just focus on alchemy magic scrolls."

"No."

Adam shook his head, redirecting the conversation.

"To be honest with both of you, I’ve recently been studying soul warrior spirits. I hope to develop a summoned creature stronger than a soul warrior spirit, so the raw materials are very important to me."

Damon and Maer both froze as they listened.

What the hell!

Develop a summoned creature stronger than a soul warrior spirit?

Are you serious?

Yet this kid looked completely serious, speaking as if it were real.

But what about the raw materials?

If we can’t get them, we can’t get them.

Would telling the church about this really make them provide the materials?

Compared to that, Damon thought alchemy scrolls were a safer bet.

Adam asked, "Is there any way for me to enter the inner part of the Thunder Basin? I want to see it for myself."

"That’s not difficult. As long as you don’t go deep into the basin, students can enter the periphery under the pretext of study and research," Damon said.

Damon glanced at Adam, as if reminding him, "Church personnel will accompany you during the exploration. If you intend to take something out, it will be difficult."

Adam asked, "When can you take me there?"

"So eager?"

"There are some things I want to verify," Adam said, opening the notebook and flipping to a page. "For example, the production of spirit runestones."

Both Damon and Adam’s expressions changed abruptly.

Spirit runestones!

These were the core materials for creating the Holy Spirit Temple’s teleportation magic array, priceless, with their production method tightly controlled by the church.

Even with Jackalese’s notebook as a reference, the entire Alchemy Society had spent centuries researching and still could not replicate them.

And he?

Just a student?

Could he really do it?

"Fine, leave it to me. I’ll make arrangements," Maer said, visibly excited, patting his chest. "If all goes well, we can depart tomorrow."

"Thank you."

Adam nodded to Maer, clasped his fists, and excused himself. "Let’s end here for today. I’m a bit tired. I’ll come find you tomorrow."

"I’ll see you out."

"No need, you’re busy."

Damon and Maer watched as Fang Heng and Adam left the building.

Damon asked, "Maer, do you know his background?"

"Yes, he’s an exchange student from Holy Eagle City."

"No, it’s not that simple. You saw his strength just now. Can an ordinary exchange student have this level of skill?"

"And, as far as I know, Holy Eagle City has no high-tier alchemy scholars. Alchemy always requires inheritance. Could he be self-taught?"

Maer didn’t respond, speechless.

"Forget it. Keep in contact with Adam. I’ll investigate this matter. And don’t make it public."

Damon, increasingly uneasy, gave Maer the instruction, then thought it over a bit more and hurried out of the building to catch up.

Outside the academic building.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing that Adam hadn’t gone far, Damon relaxed and quickly caught up, walking alongside him. "I’m heading back too. It’s on the way, so let’s go together."

"Fine."

Adam shrugged and continued walking.

Damon probed, "Your alchemy is impressive, even beyond my level. At your age, you’re a genius. You must have started learning very young. Who is your teacher? I might know them."

"Sorry, I can’t say."

Adam dodged the question and kept walking.

Damon kept testing him along the way, but by the time they reached the school entrance, he hadn’t learned anything useful from Maer. He finally said, "The church will never provide you with the materials to make holy gemstones."

"Mm."

"I can provide some through my own channels, but only privately."

Adam finally paused, turning to Damon. "When?"

"Don’t rush. There are conditions," Damon said, staring at Adam. "I know you’ve made the alchemy magic array scroll. I want the blueprints for research. In exchange, I can take you into the depths of the Thunder Basin and help you obtain some raw materials."

Adam thought for a moment, following the Shadow God’s instructions, and nodded. "Agreed."

...

The Land of Thunder lay outside a large city in the eastern empire.

After a full day of travel, the next day, Adam and his team of over ten students finally entered the periphery of the Thunder Basin.

"The interior of the Thunder Basin is permanently covered in ray clouds. In addition to extremely strong spatial and spiritual fluctuations, abnormal spirit constructs occasionally appear. It is extremely dangerous," the accompanying instructor, Rudo, explained.

"To ensure safety, the church has completely locked the entire basin and surrounding areas, strictly limiting all personnel," he continued.

"Remember, the area we are exploring is limited to the periphery. Absolutely do not approach the inner region. Understood?"

"Yes, instructor!"

Maer used the Alchemy Society’s field research as an excuse to apply for entry into the basin and reinforced the request with financial influence. The school and the church quickly approved.

Because of this, more than ten students were organized for the trip to the Thunder Basin.

Celia was among them.

She felt uneasy.

With less than a month until the eighth-tier assessment, she was wasting time here.

This was ridiculous.

Celia couldn’t understand Adam’s intentions.

What was so worth seeing in the Thunder Basin? Her pre-set training plan had been disrupted.

Maer, on the other hand, was extremely nervous.

He had personally witnessed Adam’s strength. Beyond Adam’s self-developed alchemy scrolls, he could even perfectly replicate a soul.

Everything amazed Maer.

Upon learning that Fang Heng could replicate spirit rune marks for alchemy arrays, Maer had spared no effort in gathering all possible reference materials and handed them to Adam.

If they could truly replicate them, it would be a breakthrough for the entire alchemy academic field.

It could even restore the glory of the Jackalese family.
