Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Elemental and Material Transformation
In the eyes of the scholars of Favonius, the transformation ritual was divided into two types: elemental transformation and material transformation.
These two types of transformations included the conversion of elemental gems with different attributes and the synthesis of elemental gems with the same attribute. For example, using elemental fragments to synthesize elemental chunks, and then using elemental chunks to synthesize elemental gems. Another example is transforming a fire attribute elemental gem into a water attribute elemental gem.
There were also transformations of different materials, such as turning a piece of charcoal into a translucent gem, or turning a piece of stone into a crystal ore.
*(Wow, I remember that the difference between charcoal and diamond is the arrangement of carbon atoms, but how can a stone be transformed into a crystal?)*
Wang Daoyi sighed at the power of the West Wind scholars. Even in modern society, while it was possible to create synthetic diamonds, directly turning charcoal into diamonds or transforming stone into crystal was still unimaginable.
Carefully reading the words on the Favonius Codex, Wang Daoyi silently deduced the transformation ritual, holding an elemental array in his hand.
As Wang Daoyi i studied and deduced, the array became more and more perfect, eventually forming a mysterious array that rotated in his hand.
"Is this the transformation ritual array?"
Wang Daoyi couldn't believe that a array could be simplified to this extent.
Normally, a transformation ritual array for material and elemental conversion would require various precious materials and instruments to assist. However, under the continuous simplification by the scholars of Favonius, the transformation ritual array had been simplified to the extreme. Even if Wang Daoyi was alone and had no materials or instruments, he could still construct the array according to the description in the codex.
"Xiangling, give me a piece of charcoal!"
Watching the floating array in his hand, Wang Daoyi couldn't wait to try it out.
"Just wait a moment, I'll finish cooking this dish!"
Xiangling quickly emerged from the kitchen, holding a black piece of charcoal in her hand.
"Brother Daoyi , what do you need charcoal for?" Xiangling was curious, but she handed the charcoal directly to Wang Daoyi and then sat beside him, watching the array in his hand.
Wang Daoyi didn't answer directly. Instead, actions spoke louder than words.
Placing the charcoal into the center of the array, Wang Daoyi recalled the rotation speed and rune structure for transforming diamonds as described in the Favonius Codex, and began to infuse elemental energy.
As Wang Daoyi continuously infused elemental energy, the array started to operate, and golden light emerged from the charcoal.
This phenomenon was described in the Favonius Codex: because the user's elemental energy contained elemental attributes, it affected the attributes of the transformation ritual.
Generally, the things transformed in this way tended to lean towards the corresponding attribute. This principle was utilized by the scholars of the Favonius to develop the transformation of elemental gems.
Soon, after the brilliant golden light, the array dissipated. The originally black charcoal had turned into a golden gem, or rather, a yellow diamond. (Paimon was ecstatic)
Looking at the yellow diamond, Wang Daoyi shook his head. The creation of this diamond had consumed four-fifths of his elemental energy. Even with his modern knowledge of diamonds, if an ordinary person without the support of a vision tried to make it, the amount of elemental energy required, converted into elemental condensate, plus the mental effort needed to operate the array, might not be sustainable.
Wang Daoyi shook his head, but Xiangling was amazed. She picked up the dropped yellow diamond, revealing a look of surprise.
"Wow, Brother Daoyi, how did you do it? Turning charcoal into a gem, that's amazing!"
"Do you like it, Xiangling?"
Xiangling blushed and nodded. How could a girl not like a gem, especially when it was given by a boy she had feelings for?
"In that case, this gem is for you, Xiangling!"
In Teyvat, there was no concept of diamonds. Generally, any gorgeous mineral crystal was referred to as a gem.
Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, Xiangling's heart was filled with affection.
"Brother Daoyi is giving me a gem! Is he confessing to me?"
Oh my, I'm so shy. Should I accept it?
The girl's emotions were in turmoil, her face was turning red, and she even felt a hint of warmth.
Lost in her chaotic thoughts, the girl forgot that the gem she was holding was actually the charcoal she had taken out earlier.
After a while, the girl didn't hear the confession she had imagined.
Glancing at the boy, who had returned to reading, with disappointment, she saw that he was engrossed in his book again, with the array still spinning in his hand, collapsing and rebuilding continuously.
As her feelings sank, rationality returned to Xiangling's mind. She gave the boy, who was immersed in reading, a white-eye expression and carefully put away the gem, before returning to the kitchen to continue her battle with cooking.
*(Brother Daoyi will probably be single forever!)*
With a hint of resentment, the girl came to a conclusion in her mind.
Meanwhile, Wang Daoyi, who was reading, felt a chill. He looked away from the book and glanced out the window.
The scorching sun was hanging high in the sky, with no wind blowing.
"How strange, why do I feel a bit chilly?"
Shaking his head to dismiss the strange thought, Wang Daoyi immersed himself once again in the ocean of knowledge.
The knowledge from the Favonius Codex was slowly absorbed by Wang Daoyi. In the distant, false starry sky, Wang Daoyi's Constellation once again radiated a dazzling light.
Mysterious forces were pulled from the void and absorbed by the Constellation of Explorer, causing the dim second Constellation to begin emitting a faint light.
In Liyue:
Zhongli, walking his pet bird, glanced up, as if seeing something, then returned to his leisurely stroll.
In Mondstadt:
Venti, who was chatting with Sucrose, shifted his gaze towards Mondstadt.
"What's wrong, Venti?" Sucrose asked.
Venti shook his head, indicating that it was nothing, and continued chatting with Sucrose.
In their rented accommodation:
Wang Dao Yi finished reading the last page of the Favonius Codex and gently closed it.
He brought up the Gold Finger panel -

**Name:** Wang Daoyi
**Race:** Human
**Constellation:** Constellation of Explorer(1 star illuminated, first level of Constellation)
**Level:** 45
**Skills:** Geo Element Mastery (lvl.5), Law of Contract - Geo (lvl.5), Elemental Transformation (lvl.2), Material Transformation (lvl.2), Divine Knowledge - Anemo (lvl.0), Sandstorm (lvl.0), Thieves' Fist (lvl.3), Elemental Bottle Crafting (lvl.4), Bow and Arrow Shooting (lvl.4), Rock Throwing (lvl.4), Explorer (Max lvl)
---
Compared to when he first arrived in this world, he had become much stronger.
Geo Element Mastery came from the Vision. When he first obtained it, it was only at level one. Level five was the result of Wang Daoyi's continuous training.
The Law of Contract came from Zhongli's casual notes.
Elemental Transformation and Material Transformation came from the knowledge in the Favonius Codex.
And the most crucial skill, Divine Knowledge - Anemo, came from Wang Daoyi's exploration of the Anemo Gnosis in front of the cathedral. Unfortunately, Wang Daoyi couldn't understand the knowledge on it at all, so it was only at level 0. However, even with this level 0, Wang Dao Yi gained access to the seed of the power of the sandstorm.
Interesting things always captivated people, and time spent engrossed in them always passed quickly.
On the other side, Xiangling had finished cooking and started calling Wang Daoyi.
"Brother Daoyi it's time to eat, hurry up and wash your hands!"
