Chapter 148 Hermetic Philosophy

Intense light erupted from Adam Kadmon's flesh.

It lit up the last gem of the wand, and suddenly, [the five matrices of Paracelsus] were all perfected.

Indescribable light flashed, and the symbols of the five matrices flew out. The death curtain and the healing dew formed an inner circle, and the plant gold on the ground became a regular square, followed by the perfect triangle of celestial gold.

The inner circle is the union of the male and female principles, the triangle is the philosopher's sulphur, mercury and salt, the square represents the four elements: air, water, earth and fire, and the large golden circle is the egg of the legendary Ouroboros. Or a "round" universe.

Surrounding the outside are large round gold gems, like eggshells.

"This is transformation..." Lin An muttered to himself.

The system beep sounded in my mind.

"Through the use of mystery, the radiation value of [Mysterious Encyclopedia] increased by 0.2%."

"You have perfected the entries [Five Matrices of Paracelsus] and brought them to the edge of qualitative change. Do you want to consume the medium 'Lamp Goddess' x2 and use the 'traceability' function for further sublimation?"

Still need to consume the goddess with the lantern?

Lin An frowned slightly as he thought about the connection between Adam Kadmon and the Holy Shroud.

"use."

Some kind of mysterious and uncatchable hand flew out from Lin An's body, illuminating the eggshell wrapped in gold and gems like a bright light. It shattered with a "click", and the crack extended from the shadow to the wand's body. Completely melt the form of the snake staff.

The inside is turned out and the outside is turned inward.

Lin An stared at it closely, and the flow of the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram flashed through in an instant, and then combined all the colors of the visible spectrum, gradually taking shape from scratch.

The pure and flawless blood red came into view, and then, a round sphere the same size as Lin An's head floated in front. The atmosphere was incompatible with the surrounding scenery.

The control room becomes a flat surface, and it is the only real gem set in it.

When Lin An stretched out his hand to hold it, he realized that it was not like a magic wand. It had lost its cold entity and turned into an etheric spirit body composed purely of "Comes" energy.

"The new entry "Philosopher's Stone" has been included; with your witness, the [Hermetic Philosophy-Emerald Tablet II] illustrated book has been unlocked."

"This mysterious item absorbed your 'knowledge seeker' original energy during the birth process, and the [Mysterious Encyclopedia] radiation value dropped by 1%."

"The rating of the entry "Encyclopedia of Magic II: Alchemy and the Philosopher's Stone - The Metal that Creates Life" has been improved by including the entry "Philosopher's Stone."

Lin An had no time to care about the system's last words and hurriedly turned to the Philosopher's Stone.

[Name]: Philosopher’s Stone

[Rating]: Myth C level

[Radiation value]: 43.7%

[Pollution level]: 0%

[Medium]: Seekers of knowledge

The radiation value of the completed Philosopher's Stone reached an astonishing 40%. By rough calculation, Lin An believed that it was almost the same as Coyote and the original Jericho.

In the spiritual field of vision, a strange scene appears inside the sphere, like a whimsical medieval illustration, but lifelike, as real and clear as a small world.

The concept of male and female became a mixed circle of blue and red, located at the bottom of the Philosopher's Stone. It is a combination of the healing gem and the smite gem, retaining the previous power and can be used at the same time.

Death and resurrection, male and female, front and back completely merge into one, becoming the base.

At the top is a square, with the plant gold taking on the shape of a four-legged, lizard-like and snake-like dragon. Its wings are raised, its teeth bite its tail, its claws hold the planet tightly, and the air flows back and forth.

Above the dragon stood a statue made of celestial gold.

There are two heads on the same body, one is a man and the other is a woman. Both wear masks and have no facial features. They hold a cane that is very similar to a wand.

It is the embodiment of the illusion of the mind.

For some reason, Lin An felt that the statue was inextricably connected to him.

Finally, there is the golden "Metal Spirit" gemstone, which constitutes the most important element of the Philosopher's Stone. It is broken and reorganized during the fusion, turning into seven symbols.

Lin An recognized them as stars representing the seven metals, Apollo's crown, Diana's crescent, Venus's rose, Mars' spear and shield, Mercury's staff, and Jupiter's lightning. and Saturn's hourglass and scimitar.

They connect the central statue with dotted lines and support the entire small world space.

Not only that, the main bodies of gold and gems rose up and turned into the sun and the moon.

The sun and moon release balanced beams of light, illuminating the golden statue standing on the dragon's back and echoing Lin An, fixing its state in eternity and no longer being eroded by time and matter.

Lin An felt endless vitality from it. The spirituality of the celestial body flowed into his limbs and bones simultaneously, bringing the effect of the elixir of life. He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Does this statue resonate with my body?

...Tao tire?

Speaking of which, the small world in the sphere is very similar to the Taoist realm of immortality. The foundation below is a foundation platform, and the sphere is like a golden elixir. In the center, a small Nascent Soul is born that is connected to the owner.

Sure enough, the mystics of the world lead to the same goal through different paths.

Lin An experienced the sunlight and moonlight for a few moments, and then opened his eyes again.

All in all, with this [Philosopher's Stone], as long as "Comes" continues to radiate Titan, Lin An can maintain a healthy body of 21 years old, and the organs in his body will never fail.

Moreover, he is no longer affected by any Titan bacteria and diseases.

The moment they enter his body, they will be blackened, transformed, reddened, and turned into beneficial nutrients.

Stay young forever, be immune to all diseases, and never grow old or die!

This is too...

Lin An couldn't find a reasonable adjective. Just the passive effect of a mythical item with a radiation value of 40% directly overcame the lifespan limit that Titan had been unable to cross for thousands of years.

The degree of evolution of "Comes" always refreshes Lin An's imagination.

Ten years is too short a time.

Lin An didn't long for eternal life, mainly because there were so many unimaginable mysterious powers waiting to be explored.

By the way, what do those symbols split from the gold gems represent?

Thinking of this problem, Lin An used the [Philosopher's Stone] to cross a chair in the control room and activated Apollo's crown.

The dazzling luster spreads, and the cotton-filled chair back instantly turns into metal, and it is noble and beautiful gold.

Midas touch!

Before Lin An could be happy for a few seconds, the radiation value in the system panel dropped by 0.1%. He quickly recovered the energy, the radiation returned to the previous value, and the chair returned to normal.

Preliminary research revealed that when using this power, the energy inside the Philosopher's Stone needs to be consumed.

In addition to gold, different pattern symbols can convert any inorganic substance into a total of seven metals, and the energy consumption formulas are also slightly different.

From most to least they are: gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead and mercury.

As for the humanoid statue that was connected to Lin An and resembled Nascent Soul, he observed it for a long time and couldn't help but take a breath.

Although the appearance was very blurry, Lin An vaguely detected the shadow of Hermes from the shape of the statue.

Hermes, the main god in Mount Olympus who represents wisdom, cunning, theft, magic, spiritual enlightenment and verbal skills, corresponds to Mercury in Roman mythology.

He appears as a messenger of the gods in the sky. Like the statue, he has wings on his feet and helmet, allowing him to quickly shuttle between gods and mortals. He occasionally serves as a guide for the souls of the dead to the underground world.

His agility also made him a gatekeeper, traveler, and god of movement.

In addition to the above responsibilities, Hermes is also the god of healing. He holds a staff similar to the wand in the statue's hand, entwined by two snakes, symbolizing the reconciliation of opposites.

Hermes is a diplomat between various civilizations, so he combines the characteristics of many gods. His cunning side is similar to Anansi, the trickster god of Southern Continent, and his spiritually enlightening side is related to the animal gods of the aboriginal people of Upper East Continent. .

During the Hellenistic era, the Greeks found that Hermes was particularly consistent with the image of the Egyptian god Thoth, and the two gods were worshiped together in later generations.

Their union was also called Hermes Trismegistus.

Legend has it that He gave descendants the Book of Thoth, an immortal key to the spiritual world, which contains the secret process of human rebirth, expansion of consciousness, and enables humans to see the appearance of the gods.

Hermes Trismegistus also mentioned in The Emerald Tablet that the wisdom of the universe consists of three parts.

Alchemy, Astrology and Theurgy.

Messenger of the gods...

The statue may be a Hermes-like "master key" that can continue to fuse, refine, and combine the other two major occult knowledges to further understand the laws of the "Comoth" planet.

Lin An guessed with anticipation, feeling extremely itchy.

What kind of power do astrology and supernatural powers have when the star paths of "Comes" overlap?

Apart from being excited, the function and power of the [Philosopher's Stone] also gave Lin An a warning.

Once the upper limit of radiation value is opened, not to mention the source level, the mythical level and the legendary level alone may literally "go against the sky".

By then, will the old order still exist?

Can human beings still adhere to modern moral values ​​and maintain basic peace?

Lin An feels that the answer is not optimistic.

No wonder Joshua tried his best to suppress the expansion of the passage.

The most critical thing is, can this planet with a much lower dimension than Commerce really withstand this kind of intense radiation from another dimension?

If the car cannot be stopped, it will be sucked through the channel due to gravity and become a fragmented planetary ring on the periphery of "Comes"...

Lin An retracted his thoughts and shook his head.

This is not a problem that an ordinary college student should care about.

He reached into the [Philosopher's Stone] and picked up the cane in the statue's hand. The round "egg" suddenly turned around, and the small world quickly collapsed and turned into a gem embedded in the wand.

They are one, the embodiment of the ultimate alchemical concept of "all is one."

To summon the small world again, Lin An only needs to reach out to the gem and "pick it up".

The shape of the wand changed. Its general outline still resembled the T-shaped cross of Mithraic rituals, but the number of snakes changed from one to two, symmetrically wrapping around the body of the wand, biting the egg-shaped Philosopher's Stone at the end. , wings spread.

The radiation value of the Philosopher's Stone is above 40%, and it is usually in a state of cognitive shielding, and others cannot see its complete appearance.

When used, this level of radiation exceeds the cognition of most mystics. Similar to Adam Kaedmon of Jericho, he cannot see the details at all, and if he stares for too long, he will go blind and his head will be sore. .

Lin An was not worried about being discovered by people around him.

The reason why he put it away was because Lin An felt something strange flash through his heart and immediately stopped thinking. This was affected by the telepathy of the "God of Farming".

"Pashasha..."

After about a minute, the ground in the "Crown" area collapsed like a desert, with a feeling of dryness, and returned to its original state.

In the flying dust, two black figures appeared.

The green data is clearly visible, naming their identities.

"Sister Shuzi!" Lin An walked out of the shadows, "And Brother Luzi, are you okay?"
