The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 20 Bloodline Alchemy (Seeking follow-up reading)
"Haha, this kind of thing that doesn't involve synthesis and only requires impurities removal can really use the Miracle Furnace."

Richard slapped his thigh and became excited.

Richard had been using the Miracle Furnace to extract various information for a long time, but he had never used its ability to extract substances. Now that he had taken on the task of extracting red mercury, he also wanted to see the Miracle Furnace's ability to extract substances.

"no."

But Richard did not refine it rashly, as he still remembered the explosive nature of red mercury.

"Red mercury is explosive. After refining, it should be kept away from light, bumps, and shaking. You need to buy a colored glass bottle."

Richard immediately went to the commercial district and bought a brown glass bottle.

After returning to the room, Richard held the fist-sized sunstone in his hand and chose to refine it.

The next moment, Richard realized that his magic power was flowing to a place he could not detect.

The refining consumed two-thirds of Richard's magic power, which means one mental power is equivalent to ten magic power.

As the magic power disappeared, the sunstone in Richard's hand instantly appeared in the furnace. The sunstone shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a ball of red liquid with a golden texture and appeared in Richard's hand.

The red mercury was wrapped in magic and floated in the air motionless. Richard opened the brown glass bottle he had just bought and carefully used magic to guide the red mercury into the bottle.

Wait until everything is put into the glass bottle, then find a large scale to weigh it.

This kilogram of sunstone actually produced fifty grams of red mercury.

"Is this a scam?" Richard was a little angry, but then he thought about it. He relied on the Miracle Furnace to extract the red mercury, and there was almost no loss. Ordinary apprentices would definitely not be able to make the best use of the red mercury like him.

Therefore, it makes sense that 50 grams of red mercury can be extracted from this kilogram of sunstone.

"Anyway, the mission is accomplished. Even if I don't become Qiao Luode's disciple, one hundred magic stones is a huge sum of money."

After refining red mercury, Richard's life returned to normal.

The central black tower, the library, and the dormitory are all in one line. Occasionally, he would have a meal with Ellie and go shopping in the commercial district. This was all Richard did in his life.

As for the task, Richard did not hand it in.

According to Richard's experiment with the remaining sunstone, it would take at least a month for an ordinary apprentice to refine red mercury, and that was if everything went smoothly and there were no mistakes. If there was a failure, this time could be extended by double or even longer.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

What's more, Richard is not excellent, but has external help.

In this situation, Richard had to hide his strength and set the deadline for the task to three months after accepting it.

In addition to the mission, Richard has also been looking for materials for blood alchemy instead of exchanging spell models to engrave spell marks.

There are three elements for a wizard apprentice: connecting to the sea of ​​soul, building a return of magic power, and engraving spell marks. Engraving spell marks allows wizards to cast spells quickly, but as a low-level apprentice, Richard can only exchange very few spells.

But blood alchemy is different.

The formula that Richard extracted from the notebook was called Black Warrior. The first three stages could be performed during the apprenticeship period, and the blood required was not rare. The simplest first stage only required the blood of a low-level magical beast called Black Iron Beast.

The battle with Saban taught him how powerful a knight could be with the help of magic, and the effect of blood alchemy could improve his physique.

Richard knew that their current peaceful life was only because they had just entered the college and were unfamiliar with everything.

If time goes on for a long time, conflicts will definitely break out among these people who have blood on their hands.

…Three months later, the apprentice’s self-test room.

[Spirit 16.2, Physical 10, Magic 162, Rating, Entry-level Apprentice. ]

Looking at the data displayed in the crystal ball, Richard nodded with satisfaction.

After three months of hard meditation, his mental strength finally broke through sixteen points.
"I can improve a little bit every three months. At this rate, I will be able to reach the standard of a low-level apprentice in a year. And this speed is based on the assumption that I don't change my meditation method. If I can change my meditation method to an intermediate meditation method, then this speed will be even faster!"

He also paid attention to his physical condition. According to the records of the academy, the physical condition of a knight's squire was between ten and fifteen. If it reached fifteen points, he was considered a formal knight, and if it exceeded twenty points, he was considered a high-level knight.

Richard has now improved his physique to the level of a knight's squire without any exercise.

This is simply unbelievable.

If Ellie next door hadn't had the same experience, he would have doubted whether he had some legendary bloodline.

After leaving the testing room, Richard came to a street of street stalls in the commercial district.

This street is full of stalls set up by apprentices who cannot afford to rent a shop.

There was no special reason why Richard came here, simply because the things here were cheap and it was perfect for picking up bargains.

Richard looked left and right and finally saw what he needed.

"Friend, how much is this claw?" Richard squatted in front of the stall and looked at a claw with a few black scales on it.

After browsing for so many days, I finally found someone selling Black Iron Beast.

The stall owner took a look at Richard. He was wearing a brand new wizard robe and had a young face. He seemed to be a new apprentice. He would make a lot of money from him.

"Five hundred college coins." The stall owner quoted the price.

"Huh? How dare you ask for five magic stones for this thing when its quality is so poor?" Richard pointed at the claw in surprise and said loudly.

"This thing costs at most 200 school coins, no more."

"Two hundred dollars?" The boss almost jumped up when he heard Richard's offer. He was here to cheat people, not to be cheated. "Why don't you go and rob? Do you know how difficult it is to kill this black iron beast? At least four magic stones!"

"Four magic stones? Why don't you go and rob them?" Richard argued, pointing at the flaws on the claws and yelling, "Your black iron beast's claws are all broken, and half of the metal scales on its skin have fallen off. Two hundred and fifty is the maximum, no more."

"Three hundred and fifty! This is the lowest price."

"Three hundred! If it's higher, I'll go somewhere else!"

After Richard finished speaking, he pretended to leave, but seeing Richard's firm attitude, the boss gritted his teeth and agreed to Richard's price.

He has had this claw on display for three days. If he doesn't sell it, it will rot and become a waste of his time.

Seeing the stall owner's gnashing teeth expression, Richard smiled, threw down three magic stones, picked up his things and left in a leisurely manner.

Holding the claw of the black iron beast, Richard returned to the dormitory humming a little tune.

Although the claws of this black iron beast are of poor quality, they can be used as alchemical materials.

Richard didn't buy this thing to make a prop.

"With the claws of this black iron beast, I can complete the first part of the blood alchemy in the notebook."
