I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 146 Tests and Graduation

Having already experienced the effects of directly using the mortal energy, and after confirming that neither he nor the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror could continue to use the mortal energy to improve in a short period of time, Jieming began to think about other methods of use.

Because of its unique properties and ease of acquisition, the mortal energy has, through the efforts of cultivators, almost become a universal material second only to spiritual energy.

It's not just cultivation; basically, all the arts of immortal cultivation have a few methods that can utilize the energy of the mortal world.

Anyway, this thing has special properties. If you use a small amount, you can use it to improve yourself, and if you use a large amount, you can use it to attack the enemy.

Even for the most determined cultivator, being suddenly exposed to a large amount of worldly energy without any preparation is no different from falling into a cesspool.

However, when it comes to special uses, the first thing that comes to mind for Jieming is "alchemy".

However, before that, it is still necessary to familiarize oneself with the characteristics of the various "forms" of worldly energy.

He first searched his Golden Finger Great Dao Book Pavilion for a special secret method that could "reverse" the energy of the mortal world.

Another important reason why the essence of the mortal world can become a versatile material is that its properties can be altered under the influence of various secret techniques.

The Great Dao Library is as vast as the sea, containing countless wondrous techniques and concepts of the cultivation civilization.

Soon, he found a side sect technique called the "Hundred Turns Heart Sutra," which recorded a special method that could transform the turbid energy of the mind into the pure energy of the soul.

Although worldly desires are not inner demons, their nature is equally complex, containing strong worldly thoughts, and they are similar in nature.

So some people tried to apply it to the essence of the mortal world, and unexpectedly, a new material was born.

Jemin spent several days deducing and practicing this secret method.

After finally becoming familiar with it, he attempted to use a special technique to transform the energy attributes of a wisp of worldly energy, turning it from the chaotic "worldly dust" into a spiritual object that could purely nourish the soul.

When that wisp of worldly energy, after being transformed, flowed into his spiritual sea like a clear spring, Jemin immediately felt his soul being nourished.

The feeling was gentle and comfortable, like a tender massage deep within the soul, invigorating the spirit.

"The effect is not bad," Jemin muttered to himself, but a hint of regret lingered in his eyes.

This transformed worldly energy has indeed lost its original impact and negative influence, and can purely nourish the soul.

However, its effects are merely those of a normal-level spiritual object.

With his current wealth, he could buy as much of this quality of material as he wanted.

It seems that after the characteristics of worldly energy were reversed, although it lost its harmfulness, it also lost its original cleansing effect that penetrated deep into the soul.

It has become "safe," but it has also lost its most core "characteristic."

“This isn’t very useful for direct use; we need to find a medium.” Jemin quickly came up with a new idea.

He turned his gaze to the crystal-clear Dew of a Hundred Flowers contained in the jade bottle beside him.

The most significant characteristic of the conceptual material "Hundred Flowers Dew" is its ability to carry and harmonize.

Even adding it alone to a potion can significantly increase its success rate.

What's even more remarkable is that even without adding any materials, simply by continuously refining the Hundred Flower Dew, one can extract a spiritual liquid that can stabilize one's state, which has a miraculous effect on cultivators whose souls fluctuate or whose spirits are unstable.

However, the most distinctive feature of Baihua Lu is that it can carry some intangible and intangible conceptual materials.

When Jieming used the Eastern Purple Qi to refine the Soul Enhancement Potion, its main base material was the Hundred Flower Dew that he had purchased at a high price in the academy.

It can perfectly integrate the "conceptual" power of the Eastern Purple Qi into the potion and stabilize it.

Jemin first tried to refine the potion using the Hundred Flower Dew and the reversed Mortal Qi. Thanks to his previous experience in refining potions with the Eastern Purple Qi, the refining process went quite smoothly this time.

Half a day later, a bottle of magic potion emitting a faint fragrance was successfully condensed in his hands.

He couldn't wait to give it a try.

Upon ingestion, the gentle energy surges directly into the soul, bringing a mild invigorating effect.

"Not bad," Jemin assessed.

The effect of this potion is equivalent to having another potion that can enhance mental strength.

Its advantages are very prominent - the cost is extremely low, because the mortal energy is constantly available and the Hundred Flower Dew can be continuously produced by the Golden Garden, which can provide a continuous supply.

However, for Jemin, the value of this medicine was not high.

He was quite wealthy, and during his cultivation, he would always use up all the magical potions that aided his cultivation.

Whether it's breathing exercises or meditation, there's a limit to how fast they can be processed.

Even if new drugs are developed, we won't need to use many of them based on the existing ones.

If other wizards had researched this, they might have been overjoyed, as it would have been like having an extra source of income. But for Jemin, it seemed like a drop in the ocean.

"It seems that safety and efficiency are indeed mutually exclusive." Jemin sighed softly, noting down the formula for the potion as a "backup plan."

He pondered for a moment, then his gaze returned to his experimental notes. Now that it had been confirmed that the mortal energy, after its properties were reversed, had lost its most important essence, there was no need to continue the research.

It would be better to focus on the realities of the secular world from now on.

Jemin took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism.

After consulting numerous elixirs made primarily from mortal energy in the Great Dao Library, Jemin began using his knowledge of potions to search for suitable materials in the wizarding world.

Considering the unique nature of mortal energy, he mainly referred to the alchemy theories of the cultivation world this time, using the principles of Yin-Yang and Five Elements to configure materials to enhance the medicinal properties of mortal energy.

After another half month, Jemin finally succeeded in refining a potion that emitted a strange fragrance and carried a faint, smoky scent.

The color of the medicine was not pure, but rather presented a hazy, seven-colored halo, as if it contained the essence of the world.

However, looking at the hard-won potion, Jemin felt a little regretful that he couldn't use it immediately to test its effects.

One reason is that the fatigue he experienced from directly immersing his soul in the energy of the mortal world has not yet completely subsided.

The recovery of the soul takes time, and experiments of this level cannot tolerate the slightest carelessness.

Just in case, it's best to be cautious.

Another, and more important, reason is that the time has come—the apprentices who participated in the training have finally reached graduation.

Although those like Jemin who had passed the academy's trials did not need to immediately rush to the battlefield to fight for Norren Workshop in other planes.

However, as a matter of courtesy, and also to receive the final evaluation and rewards, all apprentices, regardless of their grades, are required to return to the academy for a graduation ceremony.

"It seems I can only try it after I get back from school." Jemin put away the potion, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

He knew that if this medicine succeeded, its value would far exceed any previous attempt.

It may even replace refined gold and become his new main source of income.

He stepped out of the underground laboratory, where sunlight streamed through the garden plants, warm and bright.

At that moment, a message came from the magical artifact on his body: Amy and Victor were already waiting at the camp entrance.

"Jemin! Hurry up! Graduation isn't a ceremony that just anyone can be late for!" Amy's energetic voice came from the magical artifact.

Jemin chuckled, put away all the research data, and turned to walk towards the space teleportation device leading to the camp.

……

……

At Norren Academy No. 13, after several months, Jemin once again set foot in this training ground for wizard apprentices.

However, this time it felt completely different from any other time.

News of Jemin's performance in the Elosia position interview had already spread like wildfire throughout the entire Noren 13 Academy.

The top contributor, the mastermind behind the corruption of faith, the indirect cause of the capture of the gods, and even the privilege of choosing an entire plane of existence... these astonishing achievements circulated among the apprentices like myths.

As Jemin, Amy, and Victor entered the academy's main square, the apprentices who had been huddled together whispering all turned their gazes toward them.

The apprentices who recognized Jemin's face couldn't help but be surprised, their eyes then flashing with disbelief, followed by deep awe and complex emotions.

The whispers abruptly ceased, replaced by an invisible, oppressive silence. Only a few bold individuals dared to cast curious and inquisitive glances.

It wasn't just the apprentices who didn't participate in the trials; even those who had participated fell silent.

This is their reverence for the strong.

Only after Jemin was away did these people erupt into a more heated discussion again.

"Look, you're quite the star of the academy now," Amy said with a soft laugh, a hint of mischief in her eyes.

Jemin simply smiled faintly, completely ignoring the stares.

He knew that in the wizarding world, strength was the only passport.

The graduation ceremony was held in the central void hall of the academy. Unlike the elaborate rituals of the mortal world, the graduation ceremony at Norren Workshop was quite simple and efficient.

In the center of the hall, dozens of instructors stood solemnly in their respective formations, waiting for their disciples who were about to complete their apprenticeship.

There were no lengthy speeches, no sentimental farewells.

But when the graduation ceremony began, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.

The graduates were called upon by their respective advisors and walked to the front of the stage one by one.

In front of the array where Mentor Clark was positioned, Jemin stood beside Amy and Victor, waiting.

When Jemin's name was called, he slowly stepped forward and approached his mentor, Clark.
