American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 264 The Incredible Ability of the Philosopher’s Stone
Boston.
In the basement of the villa, Xu Yi was disassembling the Alchemical Revolver Messiah.
He had to be fully focused; such a complex piece of old alchemical machinery could be nearly impossible to restore if damaged even slightly.
With his current abilities, he seldom needed to use the Messiah, but as it was an "old friend" that had been with him for a long time, he naturally couldn’t bear to spoil it.
If it wasn’t for the "treasure" he discovered in the Palace of Memory, a design of the Alchemical Revolver Messiah, he wouldn’t have taken the risk.
However, he could not quite understand why the design of the Alchemical Revolver Messiah would appear in Japan’s Meiji Shrine.
"I’ve finally finished disassembling it!" Xu Yi heaved a long sigh of relief.
The large table was covered with various parts; Xu Yi placed the core of the revolver in front of him, pried off a crystal stone from it, and examined it closely.
The crystal stone was diamond-shaped and completely transparent, resembling amber.
This was the Holy Gold Stone, the most important component of the revolver, on which the Messiah relied to bless the bullets, all thanks to this mung bean-sized crystal stone.
Xu Yi removed the Holy Gold Stone, obviously for the Philosopher’s Stone experiment.
In fact, any kind of material would suffice for the Philosopher’s Stone experiment, not necessarily the Holy Gold Stone, but given the scarcity of the Philosopher’s Stone, choosing just any material would be an extravagant waste.
At first, he considered the Doomsday Crystal Stone, but after pondering for a long time, he decided on the Holy Gold Stone.
As the saying goes, rarity carries value; the Doomsday Crystal Stone was plentiful among Boston’s upper echelons, but the Holy Gold Stone might be this one piece in front of him.
"Now comes the moment to witness a miracle!"
Xu Yi took out the mung bean-sized Philosopher’s Stone, hesitated for a moment, then still cut it into two halves.
Frugality is a virtue, especially since he didn’t know when he would be able to obtain a new Philosopher’s Stone.
In a specially made test tube, he added both the Holy Gold Stone and the Philosopher’s Stone, took a deep breath, and poured in the high-purity Holy Water.
The Philosopher’s Stone was activated, and Xu Yi stared intently at the changes within.
The color of the Philosopher’s Stone changed from deep red to gold, then to its shape, from a semi-ellipse to a diamond, and its volume increased more than tenfold.
In the blink of an eye, the Philosopher’s Stone disappeared, replaced by a peanut-sized Holy Gold Stone.
"Incredible! Truly incredible!" Xu Yi exclaimed in admiration, feeling as though his worldview had been renewed.
He never imagined that there could be something capable of defying the principle of "matter" exchange and transforming into any kind of substance!
Indeed, it lived up to its reputation as the ultimate achievement of alchemy, the Philosopher’s Stone.
The "counterfeit" Holy Gold Stone was several times larger than the original.
Although the Philosopher’s Stone did not follow the principle of "matter" exchange, it adhered to the principle of "energy" exchange.
If the conversion target was a material of lower energy level, such as gold, it could probably transform an entire mountain of it.
The "counterfeit" Holy Gold Stone was not only larger in volume but also more lustrous, as if crafted from pure gold.
In contrast, the original Holy Gold Stone had only a faint gold color, like a lamp about to go out.
This wasn’t because the counterfeit was superior to the original, but because the original Holy Gold Stone had been used for so many years that its energy had almost been exhausted.
The "brand new" counterfeit Holy Gold Stone was bursting with energy, of course outshining the original with brightness.
"I’m glad I didn’t choose the Doomsday Crystal Stone!" Xu Yi toyed with the new Holy Gold Stone, unable to put it down.
The quantity of Doomsday Crystal Stones was one thing, but Xu Yi suddenly realized that the Sacred Goldstone before him contained energy two to three times stronger than that of Doomsday Crystal Stones of the same volume!
What’s more important, the energy of the Sacred Goldstone was purer; its "radiation" was also milder, targeting only Dark Creatures without harming humans.
This was a rare advantage since the biggest drawback of the Doomsday Blade was its radiation.
If Dark Creatures appeared in the city, one strike of the Doomsday Blade might not even kill the Dark Creatures, but instead, a large number of humans might fall first.
"No! Using it for missiles is still too wasteful!" Xu Yi remembered the "Crow Man" of the Ring of Destruction.
After witnessing the power of Alchemical Machinery, he developed a great interest in this area.
Besides their complex mechanical structure and alchemical arrays, the biggest challenge with Alchemical Machinery was the energy source; perhaps the Sacred Goldstone could achieve a breakthrough in this regard. Discover hidden tales at novelbuddy
"Could it be that the Ring of Destruction summoned the Source of Sin Mother Tree just for the Philosopher’s Stone?" As Xu Yi packed up, he suddenly thought of something.
He was preparing to go out; he needed to test the production rate of the Philosopher’s Stone before he could make his next decision.
...
In one of the bases of the Ring of Destruction.
Twelve metal figures stood within a huge palace. These figures varied in shape, and if Xu Yi were here, he would recognize one of them as the "Crow Man" he had encountered before.
The pupils of the metal figures lit up one by one. The Crow Man looked around and said leisurely, "As before, eight of the twelve have arrived, let’s start the meeting! The theme of this meeting is the Source of Sin Mother Tree Plan."
"What’s there to discuss? Isn’t it a simple matter? Kill Xu Yi, retrieve the shell of the Source of Sin Mother Tree, and then find the scattered Origins of Sin," one of the metal figures answered.
"Of course, we will do these things, but we need to slow down for the moment."
The Crow Man started speaking on his own, "Because of the actions in Japan, we’ve been targeted by those flies of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization, and we need to lie low for a while."
"I agree with Augustus’s statement. The Rebirth Machinery and the Annihilation Realm both allowed the opponent to escape, showing that they are not so easy to kill," another metal figure chimed in.
"So, what about the plan?"

"Actually, we’ve entered a bit of a mental trap. Since the shell of the Source of Sin Mother Tree is gone, why not take an even bigger ’billion’ step?" the Crow Man Augustus said with a deep voice.
"What do you mean?"
"The Origin of Sin will automatically seek out suitable hosts. We find ’them,’ nurture ’them,’ and thus create a stronger Source of Sin Mother Tree!" the Crow Man Augustus said, his expression exhilarated.
"Are you thinking of opening the Gate of Truth directly?" a figure next to him exclaimed in surprise.
"Exactly, creating the Philosopher’s Stone with the Source of Sin Mother Tree is too slow. We might as well open the Gate of Truth directly and enter the Realm of Truth!"
Augustus’s voice was filled with yearning, "The Realm of Truth, where mountains made of condensed Philosopher’s Stones can be found everywhere, and the rivers flow with the deep red essence of the Philosopher’s Stone."
"But doing this will consume a large amount of the organization’s resources. You must be clear, the organization’s plans are not limited to just this one," someone raised an objection.
"Let’s decide by vote!"
Augustus didn’t say much more, scanning around, some metal figures silently raised their hands while others remained standing still.
"Eight members voted, six in favor, two against, the vote passes! The Gate of Truth Project shall commence immediately!" Augustus could hardly hide his excitement in his voice.
By opening the Gate of Truth and replicating the "Forbidden Object," killing Xu Yi would be as easy as turning over one’s hand.
"Eternal life to the Ring of Destruction!"
In the midst of the resounding chanting, the pupils of the metal figures in the palace extinguished one by one.
