328 Fess Formula (1/2)

”Turns out it's the Fess Formula…” Lin Yun chuckled after taking out the piece of paper. He casually grabbed a quill from his pocket and moved to a nearby refining table to start writing.

”So pretentious…” Griffith coldly snorted as he looked at Lin Yun with a newfound disgust.

At first, Griffith had only disliked that young man's boasting. He was only in his twenties, yet he was boasting in such a way, saying that he had two methods of solving the Darkness Evil Python Skin's magic solidification.

But the ”Fess Formula” that the young man mentioned suddenly made Griffith loathe him.

'Ridiculous… That Mafa kid doesn't even know the name of that formula…

'What Fess Formula, I copied that formula from vestiges of the 3rd Dynasty thirty years ago, and the name ”Lauren Formula” was clearly written on top. It was one of the three major formulas written by the famous Artisan of the 3rd Dynasty, the Life Alchemist, Lauren.

'You think you are so great, pretending to understand something you don't and dubbing it as the Fess Formula…'

Griffith remained silent, sneering as he looked at Lin Yun.

At this time, Lin Yun was so focused that he couldn't sense the change in Griffith's expression. He was completely immersed in breaking the alchemy formula. To Lin Yun, a formula of this level wasn't anything too complicated, and he worked for only about four minutes before he put down his quill. He picked up the sheet of paper and handed it to Griffith.

”Mafa Merlin, isn't it? Let me give you a piece of advice. It is good for youths to be ambitious, but losing respect for their elders in the process leads to disaster…” Griffith didn't seem to be in a hurry to check the piece of paper and only sighed, as if his interest had waned.

”Eh? Master Alchemist Griffith, how about you check it first?”

”Haha, check? Check what? Check how you are pretending? Check your nonsense? You don't even know the name of the formula, how could you have the qualifications to make me check your gibberish?”

”Eh?” Lin Yun froze. 'Impossible, the formula he gave me is definitely the Fess Formula.'

Lin Yun was very sure of this.

Lin Yun might occasionally be mistaken about other things, but the Fess Formula was used in many different applications. It could be used in the Physical Enhancement Formula, which was a very important skill at the end of the magic era as it didn't need to rely on mana. Lin Yun used physical means to complete the Physical Enhancement several times and used it to handle some sand beasts on several occasions, so how could he be mistaken about the Fess Formula?

”Let me tell you the truth. What you think is the Fess Formula is actually the Lauren Formula. This is the proud work of the Life Alchemist, Lauren, who was a fellow student to Emperor Zhantui and the Gaugass King. Fess Formula? What a joke. Being an alchemist that doesn't know something isn't scary, what's truly scary is pretending to know when you don't.”

After saying this, the old man no longer looked at Lin Yun and threw that piece of paper to the ground before turning to leave the laboratory.

'Lauren Formula, Lauren Formula…' Lin Yun contemplated these two words when he suddenly thought of something. 'How could I forget this? This is a huge misunderstanding…

'The Lauren Formula and the Fess Formula are one and the same…'

They were only named differently.

This was a well-known joke in history.

But the truth wasn't something that the mages of this era knew.

He had to clear up the misunderstanding first.

Seeing the old man reach the door of the laboratory, Lin Yun had no choice but to loudly say, ”Whether it's the Lauren or the Fess Formula, the seven variables would stay the same. The key to cracking this formula relies on calculating these seven variables, and that's not difficult…”

”Eh?”

Griffith suddenly stopped at the door.

”In fact, one only has to use the Five Color Theorem, there is nothing complicated in that.”

”What did you say?” The old man abruptly turned around and stared at Lin Yun for no less than ten seconds before coming back over. He stooped and picked up the paper that he had thrown to the ground and quickly looked at it in an impatient way.

But after reading, his expression suddenly changed.

He was amazed at first, but soon, the amazement turned to shock, before being followed by disbelief. He shook his head as he looked at the paper. ”Impossible, impossible, how could it be so simple…”
