The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 195 Recruiting the Great Wizard Garlon
The mountain dwarfs' stone tablets are somewhat like the wizard's inherited crystal balls. They are all spiritual messages that the predecessors have engraved on the carriers in some way, allowing others to view them through spiritual power.

After using his mental power to explore the stone tablet, Richard quickly memorized the two inheritances.

But in the process, Richard helplessly discovered that these two inheritances required the more basic mountain way as a foundation to learn. Just to obtain the inheritance, at his current level, it would probably take him hundreds of years to get anything useful from it.

His knowledge accumulation was too shallow, and he couldn't digest the alien knowledge as quickly as older wizards and integrate it into his own combat system.

So Richard finally returned to the starting point - let’s start learning from Tianxia Chuan.

As a wizard, Richard was treated quite well in Changshan Temple. Especially after he awakened the abbot, he was treated with courtesy by all the monks in the temple. This also allowed him to observe the practice of these mountain dwarves in his spare time.

After becoming first-level creatures, mountain dwarves will regulate their energy circulation according to the inheritance they have learned. Through the adjusted energy circulation, each of them has a different fighting style.

Some are more agile, some are more powerful,
This reminded Richard of the martial arts techniques mentioned in the novels he read in his previous life.

Among them, Richard also discovered that some people integrated mental attacks into combat skills, forming something similar to boxing.

Each of his attacks can bring about a double blow of mental and physical damage.

Richard had never seen such a method among the wizards he knew.

A medium-sized world is indeed a world that requires the combined efforts of several great wizards to be conquered.

……

half year later.

"Drink!"

Richard, shirtless and muscular, threw a punch at the black boulder in front of him.

boom!
There was a muffled sound from the boulder, and when Richard retracted his fist, a clear fist mark appeared on the black boulder.

clap clap clap...

Behind Richard, a mountain dwarf wearing an iron cassock clapped his hands and walked up to Richard, saying respectfully:

"Your Excellency is truly a genius. In just half a year, you were able to use your Stone Breaking Fist to leave a fist mark on this mountain essence.

I really admire you.”

Richard wiped his fist. The Stone-Smashing Fist that the mountain dwarfs mentioned was a world-renowned boxing style from Changshan Temple. This style of boxing was fierce and powerful, and ordinary mountain dwarves could easily deal fifty energy level blunt force damage just by relying on their physical strength. Moreover, the higher the physique, the more powerful the fist.

In order to learn the Mountain Breaking Fist that Richard had obtained, he must first master the Stone Collapsing Fist.

Because of the special environment of the mountain world, the mountain dwarves have made extensive development of their bodies. Even the introductory Stone-Smashing Fist has given Richard a deeper understanding of the explosiveness of muscle strength.

"Master, you are joking. It's just a rumor spread around the world." Richard said calmly.

The dwarf next to him is the abbot of Changshan Temple, and his strength has reached that of a third-level creature. The "fist intention" that Richard had seen before is the unique skill of this dwarf.

"Three months ago, my master told me that to learn your Chang Shan Fist, I must first master the Collapsing Stone Fist. Now I can leave a fist mark on the essence of the mountain. I wonder if it meets the master's standards."

The abbot bowed his head slightly: "Of course it is in line with the rules, that is..."

Seeing that the abbot was hesitant to speak, Richard smiled and took out a few improved sacrificial mushrooms from his pocket and handed them to the abbot.

"Don't worry, Abbot. I have no interest in defaulting on my debts. I will abide by the deal we have agreed on."

There are also spiritually evolved ones among the mountain dwarves, but unlike in most worlds where the spiritually evolved ones have weak constitutions, the mountain dwarves try to do both.

The spiritually evolved ones among the mountain dwarves, because they can affect gravity, their bodies are often stronger than normal dwarves.

Richard didn't have much idea about manipulating gravity. This method required the blood of mountain dwarves and years of practice.

And even if one eventually mastered it, after leaving the special environment of the mountain world, controlling gravity could only be an auxiliary means and was difficult to use against the enemy head-on.

Even the mountain dwarves themselves use this method to assist in the evolution of their physical constitution.

As the spiritual evolver of the Changshan Temple, the abbot also practices gravity-assisted cultivation, but what makes him different from other dwarves is that he has a strong interest in the use of spiritual power.

After years of practice, the abbot created the Changshan boxing style, but his soul was hurt because of the experiment of creating the Changshan boxing style.

After knowing this, Richard exchanged the improved version of sacrificial fungus for his Changshan boxing skills.

Wizards don't necessarily have to fight and kill each other. If they can have a peaceful exchange, then they should do it.

The abbot took the sacrificial fungus and swallowed it in one gulp. He then felt refreshed because the headache that had been lingering in his head for years due to the injury to his soul was greatly alleviated by the effect of the sacrificial fungus.

The abbot took out a palm-sized stone tablet from his arms, handed it to Richard respectfully, and then left silently.

Richard put the stone tablet into his pocket and turned to enter the temple in the mountains. After walking a long winding road, Richard came to a secret room. The mountain monk guarding the door of the secret room bowed slightly to him and then opened the door for him.

The secret room was very small, with nothing inside except a deep well. There was no clean water in the well, and looking down from the well mouth, there was only pitch-black silence.

As a well, it is clearly somewhat substandard.

But it leads to the most mysterious place in Changshan - the heart of the mountain.

The special rules of the Mountain World are that each mountain is alive in a broad sense. These mountains were originally just a bulge in the plain, but over time, they gradually grew into the high mountains that the Mountain Dwarves now live in.

The mountain dwarves discovered this and explored the secrets of the mountains.

The heart of the mountain is one of these secrets. After jumping into the deep well, Richard's body began to fall rapidly under the action of gravity. After about ten minutes, Richard's body suddenly stopped, and gravity seemed to disappear at a certain moment.

And in front of him, there appeared a huge, dazzling heart.

This heart is bigger than a war airship. The black essence of the mountains forms the main body of this heart, and the mithril and adamantium are its frame. On this heart, countless elemental gems of the best quality are inlaid. Lava flows into the heart along the adamantium blood vessels, and then pumps in another direction with a very dull heartbeat. The gems are dazzling under the light of the fire.

But these precious materials are not what Richard cares about. At this moment, he is using energy vision to carefully observe the energy structure of the heart of the mountain.

He didn't stop until tears of blood flowed from his eyes.

"Huh." Richard wiped away the tears and blood and switched his vision. "Great Wizard Garlon is really generous. He didn't even take away such a treasure."

As the core of a mountain, the Heart of the Mountain is itself a manifestation of the rules of the mountains in the mountain world. Rules are precious even to great wizards.

However, the great wizard Garlon left it in the secret realm and even told the mountain dwarves to allow the wizards who came to observe the Heart of the Mountain.

Is this the great wizard who is only one step away from the truth?

After leaving the Heart of the Mountain, Richard returned to his residence, took out a crystal ball and began to draw an incomplete rune in it.

Richard named this rune "Heart of the Mountain", and even Richard himself didn't know the specific effect. But in the spirit of a thief never leaves empty-handed, Richard still recorded it.

I don’t know when I can enter this secret mountain realm again, so it’s always a good idea to write it down.

……

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past six months, under the guidance of the mountain dwarves, Richard's understanding of the mountain way has become more in-depth. Richard also began to practice the two secrets.

Mountain Body Forging is the way the abbot of Changshan Temple increases his physique and strengthens his body. Its essence is a training method to regulate gravity, which is similar to the effect of the spiritual evolution methods of the mountain dwarves, but it is easier to use, more specific in details, and does not require the blood of the mountain dwarves to participate.

And more importantly, over the years, the ancestors of Changshan Temple recorded almost every situation that occurred when using mountain body forging in the mountain body forging tradition.

But unfortunately, Richard is not a mountain dwarf, so all these records are useless.

The only thing Richard could learn is the method of controlling gravity through mental power.

As for the mountain-breaking fist, Richard had never been able to master it.

This style of boxing is extremely complex and requires the coordinated use of body muscles, internal energy, and even mental strength to achieve an unbreakable effect.

Richard had observed the abbot using this boxing technique. The abbot just lightly tapped the mountain essence with his finger, and the mountain essence as big as a millstone turned into gravel less than the size of a fingernail.

The hardness of the mountain essence is slightly lower than that of pure gold. Even if Richard used all means necessary, it would take a lot of effort to accomplish what the abbot could do with just one finger.

The one-year period was up, and Richard had to leave Changshan Temple and return to the wizarding world.

Before leaving, Richard left behind a lot of alchemical props and Aldo mushrooms at Changshan Temple.

He might be able to enter this secret mountain realm again in the future. Spending a little money to improve the relationship seems to be a very cost-effective deal.

After leaving the secret realm, Richard looked at Jimmy's smiling face and greeted him.

"Master Jimmy, long time no see..."

Before Richard finished his words, his body began to behave strangely as he had just entered the wizarding world. At this moment, his body seemed to be a black hole, and all the magic power of the entire arena was converging towards him.

Since Richard had been using the flying technique in the mountain world, even when meditating, this cost him a lot of magic stones, but also caused some changes in his body.

These changes were not noticeable in the secret mountain realm, but they became apparent once they returned to the wizarding world.

The unusual movement caused by Richard alarmed many people. A figure suddenly appeared beside Richard and patted him gently with his hand.

Then, Richard felt a force as vast as the ocean sealing his body.

"You've reacted so strongly to returning to low gravity. Boy, you've developed your life core quite well."

The person who sealed Richard exclaimed in admiration, and Richard immediately performed a wizard salute after seeing his face.

"Hello, Minister!"

The great wizard Garlon smiled and patted Richard on the shoulder, then said to Jimmy, "Jimmy, what's his name? The witchcraft he practices is quite interesting."

Jimmy immediately replied, "Minister, this is Richard, from the Black Tower Wizarding Academy. As for witchcraft... Sorry, Minister, this club does not require registration."

Great Wizard Garlon waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you haven't registered. I'll go talk to the Black Tower."

Then he turned his head to look at Richard, and Richard also carefully observed the incarnation of the great wizard Garlon at this moment.

The great wizard Garlon had a handsome face, blond hair and blue eyes. He stood next to Richard without any intimidation, and looked like a wizard that could be seen anywhere. But after what he had just done, Richard looked at the great wizard Garlon with deep awe.

This great wizard is truly unfathomable.

Great Wizard Garlon looked at Richard and said in a slightly encouraging tone: "Richard, you have developed the core of life very well. This is the right path. If you plan to study in depth on this path, you can choose to join the Garlon Wizard Academy in the future, and then you can find Jimmy."

After saying this, the great wizard Garlon disappeared in the arena.

"Garon Wizard Academy..." Richard muttered, "Is this considered recruiting?"
