Next to it is the forest, Stephen Zhou replenished a little wood and then hunted a wild deer.

After expanding the area of ​​the underground base again, he picked up an iron pickaxe and dug it to the location of the silver mine. At present, there are already a lot of iron ore stored, and he needs a little silver to complete his first alchemy mark.

In order to assist in his work, the Alchemists spent hundreds of years to improve the [Master's Hand] during the Arcane Empire. This was originally a level 0 auxiliary trick that could pick up objects weighing about 5-10 pounds. The Alchemists used secret techniques to mark it in their bodies and strengthen it into a further [Alchemist Hand]. The Alchemist can upgrade three times with the current marking technology. The first time it requires a lot of silver, and after completion, it will become the [Alchemist Hand Type I] or

The person is [Silver Hand]. The second upgrade requires a lot of gold. After completion, it will be called [Alchemy Hand Type II] or [Golden Hand]. The last upgrade can only be achieved after upgrading to the legendary realm. This time, not only does it require the use of rare materials such as diamond, mitral, magic dust, star sand, etc., but it also requires the stamping of 127 alchemy marks. The final formed alchemy hand will greatly improve the sensitivity of the fingers, which is almost close to the limit of human beings.

The alchemy hand of this level is called [Hand of God] and is also called [Female Killer] by some bad wizards.

Stephen Zhou digged along the mine road. In order to avoid attracting other people's attention, the depth he chose was about fifty meters down. Linfeng City is rich in mineral resources. Although mining is getting exhausted, there are still many veins hidden deep underground. Stephen Zhou spent a whole day to dig below the silver mine, but what disappointed him was that the silver mine content was very low, and some of them had almost no mining value. This forced him to carefully approach the main vein, and the sound coming from above could be vaguely heard at this location.

He took out an alchemy torch and inserted it, then calculated the time and waited for it to dark.

Soon, after dark, the miners left the mine, while Stephen Zhou waved his pickaxe to continue digging upwards. As expected, he soon dug a silver and gold mine, with the silver content of about 12%.

——"Fifteen feet of silence!"

In order to avoid alarming the guards of the Silver Mine, Stephen Zhou had to cast a small spell on himself.

Then he had no worries anymore, picked up the pickaxe and dug it wildly. His mining method was extremely domineering. Relying on the ability to change the form of matter, he basically had one cubic meter of ore when knocked out. The main mineral veins were basically surveyed, and Stephen Zhou was too lazy to explore and dig directly down the veins they found. The content of these silver and gold mines was pretty good, and the main body was a small amount of gold. With every unit of ore Stephen Zhou mined, a trace of condensed elemental power merged into his body. The elemental power absorbed by mining silver and gold mines was far higher than that of iron ore. But in a while, he felt that he was about to break through to level 4 alchemist.

One night is not long.

After Stephen Zhou secretly dug nearly 300 units of silver and gold mine, it was almost dawn outside.

Now the entire mine is in a mess, and he has basically dug out valuable silver and gold mines. The rest are some waste mines with low mineral content and no mining and refining value. He has basically hollowed out the main mineral vein on the surface, and even if he comes to explore the deep minerals, it will take a lot of time. In one night, he hollowed out the silver mine vein found in the mine alone. If the mine still wants to continue mining, it will have to look deeper. Because the noise is quite loud, the nobles of Linfeng City will definitely be aware of it, and Stephen Zhou has to arrange some backup plans before leaving.

——"Change matter (form)!"

Stephen Zhou left a magic stamp on the walls of the mine, and then arranged a trigger secret stamp.

When he returned to the underground passage and entered a safe distance, he immediately activated the runes in his palm. Then a loud rumbling sound came from behind. When the supervisor of the silver mine was escorting groups of miner slaves to prepare for work early in the morning, the mine in front collapsed in front of him!

A group of people were stunned at the collapsed mine, not understanding why yesterday was fine and it collapsed early this morning.

Destroy the corpse and traces.

By the time the Aboriginal people cleared the landslides, I'm afraid Stephen Zhou would have left here long ago.

Stephen Zhou, who returned to the underground base, felt very happy. After sorting out the harvest last night, he immediately began to refine minerals.

As the alchemist's ability gradually recovered, the number of alchemy marks he could use gradually increased. However, after all, he used an ordinary furnace that was pulverized with bare hands, and the speed of refining gold and silver was not so fast. After spending half a day, Stephen Zhou finally refined fifty pounds of silver and about two pounds of gold.

"We must find a way to build a large steel furnace!"

Stephen looked at the furnace that was pulsing with bare hands in front of him and couldn't help but curl his lips: "The efficiency of this thing is really low. Even if you use enchantments, it's a waste."

Tidal silver ingots were placed on the workbench.

Stephen Zhou drew out his sword and cut off a small piece of gold. Then a white light appeared in the palm of his hand, and the gold in his hand gradually turned into a golden liquid.

——"Psychic Fire!"

Stephen Zhou bit his fingertips and pointed it into the middle of his eyebrows. A drop of golden blood sank in the middle of his eyebrows. As the spiritual power gathered, a dark blue flame appeared, and it seemed like a spark blooming in the void. At this moment, Stephen Zhou looked pale and carefully injected the flame into the alchemy array on the workbench. A trace of dark blue light appeared, and the silver placed in the center was activated.

"Sure enough, it's still very difficult to use the Psychic Fire with the current strength! That would be great if there was a preserved negative energy fire!"

[Psychic Fire] was originally born in a fierce star race. They have very high-end forging techniques and cast strange silver blade weapons. The great arcane masters learned this technique and mastered the way to activate Psychic Fire.

Pieces of silver melt into water.

The dark blue flame continued to jump, and the silver water in the center of the alchemy array gradually decreased and turned into a thick mercury-like substance. Stephen Zhou took a deep breath, and then put his hands directly into it. A little bit of dazzling silver-white light appeared, and dense alchemy marks gradually appeared on Stephen Zhou's hands. The strange inverted triangle alchemy formation had long been engraved on the back of his hand. As the contact with the mercury-like substance instantly appeared, a trace of magic power poured into his hands, and the mercury matter in the alchemy formation gradually decreased. The dark blue flame jumped in Stephen Zhou's palm. In the end, only a little residue was left in the entire alchemy formation, and a trace of silver-white luster appeared in Stephen Zhou's palm. Eighteen alchemy marks gradually merged into the flesh and blood and finally disappeared completely on the back of his hand.

“Successfully.”
