Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 61 - : Inheriting Witchcraft

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Inheriting Witchcraft

Having heard Jolod’s explanation, Richard now understood the benefits of the Secret Realm.

However, such an opportunity seemed more useful for Wizards, whose extensive knowledge allowed them to identify what was valuable and what was not. These Apprentices, who hadn’t even mastered the knowledge taught by their masters, were likely to enter a treasure mountain only to leave empty-handed.

“Let’s set the matter of the Secret Realm aside for now, Richard. I’ve called you here for another reason.”

Jolod gave Chax a meaningful look, who immediately understood and left the laboratory.

Richard swallowed nervously, his expression tense.

“Richard, you have been my student for ten years. Now that you’ve passed the exam, you’ve proven that you are not just a bookworm who only knows how to read.”

As Jolod spoke, he took out a Crystal Ball from a drawer.

“It’s time to pass on some things to you.”

Richard nervously accepted the Crystal Ball and, the moment his spiritual power made contact, a complex torrent of information flooded into his brain.

“The knowledge I’ve taught before is basic, something all Alchemy Wizards teach their Apprentices. The most that changes are the designs for Magic Equipment.

But the knowledge I’m giving you now is different from before.”

Richard snapped out of his daze.

Indeed, the knowledge this time was different.

Jolod had given him a complete set of Alchemy Magic.

Alchemy Magic was not like Shaping Magic, which could be depicted with just Runes. Alchemy Magic couldn’t even be called Magic; referring to it as surgery or techniques would perhaps be more apt.

The Alchemy Magic that Richard had just received was named Adaptation Body.

To put it simply, this Spell could enhance the user’s resistance to various types of Elemental Damage, as well as physical damage, and it also unearthed the potential of the body.

Jolod stood up and took Richard to another laboratory filled with all sorts of odd-looking equipment.

The room contained devices like an Iron Maiden, a cultivation chamber, and pendulums resembling siege hammers—it was quite bizarre to see them in a laboratory.

“You follow the path of Bloodline Alchemy. The Spell Adaptation Body happens to suit you well,” Jolod pointed at the various tools in the room. “But whether or not you can accept this Spell is up to you.”

The training for Adaptation Body was straightforward: it involved continuously subjecting the body to external stimuli to obtain corresponding countermeasures.

If one desired resistance to Flames, then the body must be continually scorched by flames; for resistance to Ice, one must immerse oneself in extremely cold environments.

Richard’s face stiffened. The effects of this technique were astounding. According to the information Jolod put in the Crystal Ball, if one trained Adaptation Body to a certain extent, it could even ignore elemental damage of thousands of Energy Levels, not to mention providing exceptionally strong protection from blunt, piercing, and Cutting physical damage.

It was a Spell with tremendous potential.

But the training process was… somewhat inhumane.

Jolod handed a key to Richard.

“This training room is yours from now on. The equipment here is sufficient for you to train the Adaptation Body.”

With that, Jolod left the laboratory, leaving Richard to contemplate quietly.

…

Richard stayed in the training room for a while but eventually decided to begin training the Adaptation Body.

Gaining strength was never an easy task.

The cultivation of Adaptation Body was a two-step process: destruction and repair.

Destruction was straightforward. The devices in the training room could inflict everything from fire burns to ice freezing, from blunt force with pendulums to piercing with the Iron Maiden; all types of damage were available.

But repair was a bit more troublesome. According to the records in the Crystal Ball, one must ingest or inject a hundred milliliters of Adaptation Potion before training the Adaptation Body, which was the core of the Spell.

After the destruction was complete, one must enter a specially made container to be immersed in a specially formulated Recovery Magic Potion for an hour.

It was a cycle.

Jolod had prepared a training room for Richard, saving him the trouble of creating training equipment, but the recovery magic potions still needed to be concocted by Richard himself, and moreover, the ingredients weren’t cheap.

Given his current income, he could barely afford the expenses, but as the training of his Adaptation Body intensified, the costs would gradually increase. In the later stages, Richard would even need to concoct different recovery magic potions to meet the demands of various trainings.

Richard pinched the bridge of his nose, having lived affluently for too long, the sudden increase in expenses was indeed giving him a headache.

“Should I increase the output? Or should I launch a new product?”

Rubbing his head, Richard returned to his own room and started flipping through his notes.

He vaguely remembered that there was a magic potion formula he hadn’t acquired.

After searching through his notes for a while, Richard finally found his record.

“Physique Enhancement Potion, library reference number n7111.”

Looking at the record in his notes, Richard immediately headed for the library.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

On the bookshelf where encrypted notes were kept, Richard found the notebook that contained the formula once again.

[Ingredient: Unknown wizard’s notes]

[Information that can be refined: Physique Enhancement Potion formula]

[Refinement cost: 25 spiritual power]

[Proceed with refinement?]

“A potion to enhance physique, how could I have forgotten about it.”

Slapping his forehead, Richard then borrowed the notebook.

Once back in his room, Richard couldn’t wait to choose to refine it.

Twenty-five points of spiritual power was not much of an issue for Richard, who now had thirty-two points.

As his head felt the sensation of being struck by a heavy hammer, a ball of white light, containing the formula, appeared above the Miracle Furnace.

However, after absorbing it, Richard’s brow furrowed.

“Egla Grass, I remember this stuff has been extinct in the Wizard World.”

The owner of this note was a wizard from the era of the great wizard war. The formulas he created were based on the materials that were available at the time.

After the wizard war, countless creatures had gone extinct in the wizard world. If it were just some auxiliary materials, Richard might have been able to replace them with materials of similar properties, but Egla Grass was the main ingredient of this magic potion, and substituting the main ingredient was akin to inventing a new formula entirely.

“Is my only hope the Secret Realm?”

Richard looked at the formula on the paper, his expression alternating from dark to light.

After much thought, Richard eventually burned the formula to ashes.

The Secret Realm was too unstable; whether he could find Egla Grass or not was uncertain, and even if he did find it, the current environment in the Wizard World was not suitable for cultivating Egla Grass.

“All that excitement for nothing.”

Leaning back in his chair, Richard started to calculate other options.

He needed to check the encrypted notes thoroughly soon, trying to refine all the knowledge possible from them. However, from this experience, Richard estimated that most of the knowledge in these notes would likely only serve as a store of knowledge, with only a small portion being applicable to practical use.

Aside from encrypted notes, he also needed to start following up on the knowledge from the Shape-shifting School. His magic potion business was so successful that he had already exchanged all the basic alchemy knowledge available from Jolod, and most of the deeper knowledge concerned synthetic beasts.

Richard had tried this direction a few years ago, but unfortunately, he had no talent in it and couldn’t produce anything noteworthy. Even if he tried to pursue it, he wouldn’t make much progress.

After much contemplation, Richard finally set two short-term goals.

One was the training of his Adaptation Body, and the other was to keep up with the knowledge of shape-shifting.

As for the direction of his future, Richard tentatively settled on Bloodline Alchemy, considering the alchemy formula he possessed should suffice until he became a wizard.

Once he became a wizard, he would have plenty of time to decide on his future path.
