Chapter 1922: Chapter 1047: Xiangjiang

In a luxurious private garden within France, an elderly man looked at Tao Yu before him and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Although Dumbledore has already written to me, seeing you in person is still so astonishing…”

Nicolas Flamel’s voice was neither fast nor slow, and he looked even younger than Dumbledore.

But in reality, he was a man over six hundred years old.

He was the only creator of the one Magic Stone in the current Magic World!

The Magic Stone could continuously produce the Elixir of Life and transmute gold; Nicolas Flamel had both endless life and infinite wealth.

Yet he and his wife maintained a life close to seclusion.

The long lifespan had even made them somewhat weary.

Otherwise, according to the original trajectory, he wouldn’t have so easily destroyed the Magic Stone under Dumbledore’s persuasion.

“Not at all, your erudition is equally astonishing; there are many areas where Dumbledore Headmaster is not as good as you.”

Tao Yu sipped afternoon tea, his tone equally calm.

At least in alchemy, Nicolas Flamel’s talent combined with his age has practically reached its limit.

Through multiple inquiries, Tao Yu could sense that Nicolas Flamel was deliberately hiding his true level of alchemy.

He seemed not to want his alchemical knowledge to be widely disseminated.

However, through analyzing the Magic Stone and communicating with Nicolas Flamel here, Tao Yu could also understand the reason.

The finest material for alchemy is the soul!

The process of creating the Magic Stone probably involved countless lives withering away, numbers beyond imagination.

This is also why there’s only been one Magic Stone through the years.

Nicolas Flamel succeeded back then because of the Black Death, which had a terrifyingly high death rate.

That might have been a natural disaster, but having lived so long, Nicolas Flamel was also aware of human malice.

If someone truly had the method to create a Magic Stone, it might cause human calamity, once again sparking such large-scale deaths.

Hearing Tao Yu’s praise, Nicolas Flamel looked at him with a complex expression and said,

“Not at all, compared to you, we two old men are far behind. Such talent is truly unheard of, unique…”

Nicolas Flamel’s achievements in alchemy have already reached the limits of this world.

So when Tao Yu asked a few targeted key questions, he knew the other had already glimpsed the truth of the Magic Stone’s creation.

Coupled with the other’s strong magical talent and impressive strength, if and when he faces issues of longevity as he ages, who knows if he’ll take that frightening step!

Thinking of this, Nicolas Flamel pondered for a moment before continuing,

“If you’re interested in the Magic Stone, or if you ever need something, after I’ve made enough gold, I can give it directly to you…”

Rather than letting the other create another one, Nicolas Flamel would even rather give the one in his possession to the other. Even if it means he won’t get more Elixir of Life himself, it’s no big deal; Nicolas Flamel already views life and death indifferently.

“Haha, what do you take me for, sir? I don’t know if Dumbledore Headmaster mentioned to you, but I’m not from this world, and originally, I don’t need to worry about lifespan issues.”

To ease this old man’s worries, Tao Yu simply stated a fact.

“Moreover, the use of souls in alchemy isn’t something that can’t be discussed, nor must it reach the numbers of the past to be effective. Souls from natural deaths at hospitals, accidents, or even those destined to die, though not numerous, are sufficient for temporary use…”

Tao Yu briefly explained some methods he had deduced, and Nicolas Flamel truly brought out his alchemical knowledge to discuss with Tao Yu.

“…Your ideas are really imaginative, yet completely within the framework of alchemy. There’s nothing I can teach you about what you’ve realized…”

Nicolas Flamel finally understood the kind of awe described in Dumbledore’s letters.

This one was not just the future overlord of the Wizarding World. Even now, should he want, he could stir unprecedented upheaval in the Wizard World, with the newly released magic phone being just an appetizer.

“Thank you for your guidance. If there are any troubles later on, feel free to contact me.”

Tao Yu waved his phone and stood up.

Having extracted enough from this old man, it was about time to set off again.

The Wizarding World had passed its rapid development phase, and it was time for a change of course.

“I heard that you specifically obtained an identity in the Muggle World. Coincidentally, I also have some businesses and influence there; if needed, you can also contact me…”

Though reclusive, Nicolas Flamel was once famous in the Muggle World as well, with rumors about him turning mercury into gold, though in the Muggle World, it was known as the ’Philosopher’s Stone’…

“I will if there’s a need. Farewell.”

“Safe travels…”

Watching Tao Yu casually flick his Magic Wand and disappear with a Disillusionment, Nicolas Flamel sighed with emotion, acknowledging the potential of the younger generation…

…

At the London Airport, in the exclusive first-class lounge, Tao Yu casually browsed some news on his phone and nonchalantly spoke to the old housekeeper who had inherited the Sutherland Duke’s lineage beside him,
