During the past few days, Edward not only learned about Alkahestry but also about Xing's understanding of Qi. Like how to use it to augment the body, how to sense it from your opponent, and how to mask it to hide your presence.

Adding to that the knowledge he learned from the homunculi Wrath, he has developed a good method for the people of the Empire to break the limit of their bodies besides genetic modification--which has a high failure rate.

However, Edward was not satisfied; he wanted to create a new power system based on Qi. After research, he realized that his method had an upper limit--which happened to be the level of Wrath.

In other words, through training, ordinary people can only reach the level of strength of the homunculi Wrath. This level was actually quite high since the man could dodge an attack from a tank. More than that, he even used a sword to cut a rocket launcher from said tank.

This kind of strength is similar to people in the Empire that underwent their second genetic modification, which is quite powerful.

Nevertheless, he was not satisfied yet, especially since this method had little value to Wizards and Mages that can strengthen their bodies with mana.

So, he had an idea: what if he could merge mana with Qi to form a new kind of energy that has the same physical benefit as Qi. Of course, this energy should not have a limit.

To achieve his goal, Edward excused himself from these Xing Alchemists and secretly entered his dimension.

In a white room, Edward held two swords from his hand as he trained. During the process, his eyes were closed as he felt the Qi or Life Energy circular inside his body, along with the mana in his core and other organs.

He controlled the two of them to merge, and the process was easier than he anticipated. Unfortunately for him, his man just swallowed the Qi without having any changes.

So, Edward changed to a different ratio and tried again; he failed this time as well. So, he tried changing the frequency of his mana, while at the same time trying different ratios of mana to Qi.

Time seemed irrelevant to him as he continued to swing his sword, then, after countless trial and error, he mixed the perfect ratio and the exact frequency. So, a change occurred in his body as a new form of energy was created.

Edward opened his eyes and he gazed at his hand; he could feel an invisible white energy surrounding his hand. On instinct, he chopped one of the swords with his bare hand.

Bang!

The sword made of pure steel was cut in two, which slightly surprised Edward as he did not use much force. In fact, he used the force equivalent to an ordinary adult.

The reason that the sword was cut in half was because he concentrated this new energy into his hand which allowed him to have such destructive power.

Immediately afterward, Edward controlled this energy to his legs' muscles and bones, then, with the force of an ordinary person, jumped in the air. And to his surprise, he actually jumped more than 5 meters.

"Morgana," said Edward out loud.

"Yes, master," said the purple-haired little elf.

"Create a new file and name this energy Aura. Now, let's begin an overall test."

"As you command, master."

After that, Edward and Morgana did a comprehensive evaluation of aura and how to use it.

"So, what's the result?" asked Edward.

"It seems that Aura can exist in the body without the need to have a special place to hold it like the magic core; it flows to every part of the body, from the skin all the way to the cells. And so far, we have not found a limit to is quantity like mana."

"Interesting. We can do some tests later on whether we can create an Aura Core in the body and the possible consequences. What else?"

"So far, Aura seems to function as a more advanced form of Qi, however, based on our initial analysis, there are some differences."

"Like?"

"Aura is a weaponized version of Qi, so increasing it cannot increase life span; or at the very least, it is not as good."

"That's not a problem. The main reason that I created this system is so that wizards have a way to fight in close combat, and to have another method to defend themselves in case their mana runs out."

"In that case, master, you have succeeded. Aura can exist in the body without mana. As long as it is created, it does not need mana to maintain its existence. However, if you want to increase the amount of aura inside your body, you still need to absorb mana and life force."

Edward frowned after hearing this, "There should be a way for ordinary people who do not have mana inside their bodies to use aura. Alright, let's do some tests."

He entered his Gate and took out a muggle prisoner. He injected his mana inside his body and mixed it with the prisoner's Qi with the appropriate ratio.

"Excellent, aura was born."

He then proceeded to do the same to another prisoner. However, this one was different as he was a person who suffered from Mana Rejection Syndrome; meaning that mana was poison to him, so, as long as it entered his body, he would become sick.

After injecting mana into the second prisoner's body, he winced in pain despite being in a coma. However, after the mana quickly mixed with his Qi, it turned into Aura.

"Well, this is a relief. This new system can be used by the people in the Empire that can sense mana but have Mana Rejection Syndrome."

"Yes, although they cannot become mages, they can become Aura Master," replied Morgana.

"Aura Master? That's a good name.

"Glad you like it, master."

Edward nodded his head as he looked at these two prisoners. "There is still a big problem: it is not universal enough."

"That's true. If an ordinary person that cannot sense mana wants to become an Aura Master, they would have to either rely on wizards or the Empire have to create machines that can install mana into their bodies.

"With our technological capabilities, it should not be a problem to do so, however, not everyone would be able to afford such a machine--no matter how cheap we made them," analyzed Morgana.

Edward agreed with her. "In that case, let's see if there is another way to increase aura without the use of mana. Let's begin with intense training."

Edward proceeded to place these two prisoners in a Time Dilation Room inside the Gate. Two days later, 6 months passed inside that room. During those 6 months, while being controlled, all these prisoners did was intense training while also taking the necessary nutrition.

"How is the result?"

"After monitoring them, their Aura has indeed drastically increased. However, compared with the control group that absorbed mana, it was simply too slow."

Edward frowned after hearing this. The Empire was already dealing with the issue of classicism and equality; he did not want to further aggravate the problem.

"In that case, let's try plan B. By now, the Mana Trees should have been planted all over the world, thus making each planet in the solar system a mana-full environment. What we have to do is create a method that allows Aura Masters to passively absorb mana from the environment without sensing it."

"I'm on it, master."

Edward nodded his head and prepared to observe this experiment, however, he received a message from Hughes. Since he told the latter not to disturb him unless something important came up, he checked it:

"The Xing Emperor wants to see you."

"So, you finally could not wait," muttered Edward before leaving the dimension and returning to the real world.

"AN: Before anyone says anything about this chapter, I can guarantee that this novel will not turn into a Martial Art or Xianxia Novel; it's still about magic. However, every powerful wizard should also be a master of hand-to-hand combat.)

After Edward left his dimensions and returned to his manor, he quickly discovered someone from the palace waiting for him. Without saying anything, he entered the carriage that the palace sent and went to see the Empire.

This time, their meeting was not in an open hall, but in a private garden with only him and the Emperor. Of course, Edward could feel the Qi of countless people hiding in the dark. Although they tried to hide their presence, they could not hide from his senses.

After meeting with the Xing Emperor, they had a casual chat where the Emperor displayed his charm and asked Edward whether he was satisfied with the Xing people's reception.

Of course, Edward--who was knowledgeable in politics--also answered with a smile on his face and greatly complimented his highness Empire and his people.

However, mid-way through their conversation, the Emperor casually asked: "Sir Edward, you are a very knowledgeable Alchemist that has traveled all over the world. Have you never thought about your mortality?"

If it was an ordinary person, they might think that this Emperor was just chatting casually about different topics.

"Of course, I have. However, death is an inevitable thing for all life."

"That may be true, but have you never thought about researching immortality?"

"Immortality, huh? One time, indeed, I was intrigued by the subject."

"Oh, and what was your discovery?"

"The only information I discovered was the fact that a 15th century Amestrian Alchemist named Nicolas Flamel believed that the Philosopher's Stone could grant him immortality and did research on it. However, from what I know, he's dead so he most likely failed."

"Is that so? What a shame."

Then, the Emperor did not mention this topic again and continued his casual chat with Edward until the latter was dismissed.

As soon as Edward left, the gentle smile on the Xing Emperor's face was replaced by a solemn one.

"What do you think?" he spoke out loud, seeming to talk to himself.

"Your majesty, he is lying," responded another voice from the shadow.

"How so?"

"When this man first came, I felt the Qi on his body; it was like a walking sun due to how vast it was. Although he has now learned to hide it, it does not change this fact.

"This abundant amount of Qi is not something a normal person can have. And with such vast Qi, it should be possible for him to live for a couple hundred if not thousand years."

The Xing Emperor frowned after hearing this, then he asked: "Did you find anything in his library?"

The person in the shadow paused for a few seconds before saying: "We did find a kind of false pseudo-immortality."

"What does that mean? Be more straightforward."

"The method we discovered involved binding a person's soul to a suit of armor. That armor will have no need for food, sleep, and does not age. Even if it is destroyed, as long as the place where the soul is sealed is still intact--it can be rebuilt."

"I'm guessing that there are other downsides to this method besides not being able to experience the pleasures of the flesh," said the Emperor.

"Yes. According to the notes, the suit of armor will eventually reject the soul, thus leading to death. However, the notes mentioned that the soul can be transferred to another suit of armor after the rejection."

"How long can this process last?"

"Seven times. The soul can stay bonding to the armor for a hundred years maximum based on the Alchemist's skill. After that, it has to be transferred to another suit. Finally, the soul can only be transferred seven times before reaching its limit."

"So, this method could only give me 700 years of life," replied the Xing Emperor as he pondered deeply. "Since I can transfer my soul to a suit, couldn't I also transfer it to another body?"

"According to the notes, the rejection of this process is more severe than a suit. Another body can last between 3 months to 5 years maximum before being rejected. And the amount of time that the soul can be transferred still remains at 7."

The Xing Emperor nodded his head as he pondered what to do.

Meanwhile, after leaving the palace, Edward returned home to see Hughes having dinner; he seemed to enjoy Xing's food. He looked at him and said: "It's time to go."

"What? How come we have to leave so suddenly?"

However, Edward was not looking at him; he was sensing the large number of people that already surrounded his manor. He mentally sighed:

'It seems that the Xing Emperor was not satisfied with the method of immortality that I gave him; how greedy.'

Although Edward only gave him this method as both a thank you and an experiment to study how the souls of the people of this world are different from the people of his world, it was still a real method.

Meanwhile, Hughes--who did not know what was going on--was quite shocked when the house that they were living in suddenly exploded, creating a cloud of smoke made of dust.

And once the wind blew it away, he discovered a strange shield surrounding him and Edward. Meanwhile, a large army of soldiers dressed in armor and holding knives and spears had surrounded them.

"What's going on?"

"I told you that the Xing Emperor was dying, so he wanted to acquire immortality."

"What does that have to do with us? Wait, does he think that you have a way for him to become immortal."

"Apparently, so."

"Well, do you?"

"Of course I do, but I would never give it to him."

Hughes looked at him up and down, then decided to change the subject. He looked at the army and asked: "So, what do we do now? We're in big trouble!"

Edward--who remained calm and composed during the entire situation--said: "It's a shame that I cannot kill people. Anyway, I can still give them a little lesson."

He clapped his hand which suddenly created a loud sonic wave attack. Then, more than 90% of the soldiers in this army screamed as they held their hands before falling on the ground, bleeding in their ears and noses.

The remaining 10%--although still standing--were also bleeding from their orifices. Although these soldiers were not dead, they won't be getting back up any time soon.

Immediately after that, Edward and Hughes disappeared from Xing, nowhere to be found. Of course, this was not the end of this incident. Soon after their disappearance, the Xing Emperor collapsed.

His health rapidly deteriorated at an alarming rate, and no matter what the Royal Alchemists did, they could not prevent this from happening. In the end, out of desperation, they tried to place his soul in a suit of armor to prolong his life.

Unfortunately for them, during the process, a mysterious power suddenly prevented the Emperor's soul from leaving his body; he was forced to remain bed-ridden until it was time for him to die of natural cause.
