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

Chapter 152 Departure and Overcoming Weaknesses (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Jemin smiled slightly, then looked troubled.

"To be honest, I'm not quite sure what the best price would be for this. Do you have any suggestions, teacher?"

A glint flashed in Clark's eyes: "Red Dust Potion...right? What's the production volume of this potion?"

Jemin remained calm and revealed his trump card: "The production of this potion is limited by the raw materials. At present, I can only produce a maximum of two bottles of this level of 'Red Dust Potion' per month."

Two bottles a month...

Clark was slightly disappointed; while such low production volume meant that each unit could fetch a higher price, it limited the market for the drug.

Fortunately, the results are amazing enough that the price can be raised even higher.

After careful consideration, Clark quoted an astronomical figure that would bankrupt an ordinary level-five wizard.

However, for a sixth-level wizard like Mentor Clark, this price, though exorbitant, seems... quite reasonable!
It could even be described as "great value for money"!
If it were simply a matter of refining soul and spiritual power in proportion, the price would still be high, but definitely not this outrageous.

After all, the endless planes are never short of treasures.

There are quite a few treasures that can directly elevate a level six wizard's soul essence to level seven, and some of the larger wizarding factions even have channels that can regularly produce such resources.

For wizards, mere emotional experiences are just worthless trifles for amusement.

But if you combine the two, that's "luxury goods".

The idea of ​​"enjoying" the experience while simultaneously increasing one's strength, coupled with extremely low production volume, suggests that this product should not have been initially targeted at "ordinary" level six wizards.

“If you trust me, you can entrust me with the sale of the medicines from now on,” Clark said.

Jemin naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing, and immediately took out three bottles of potions and handed them over: "No problem, thank you for your trouble, mentor. These are all the potions I've made during this time."

Without hesitation, Instructor Clark accepted the three bottles of potions and paid a huge sum of points to Jemin via the magic network terminal.

Jemin was overjoyed as he watched the number in his points account suddenly jump up by several digits.

“I’ll pay you for three bottles in total, including the one I just took, but I can’t pay for the last one,” Instructor Clark said again.

"I need to take this potion to my mentor as proof to explain to him and persuade him to agree to create a level seven large elemental pool for you. It will be sufficient to demonstrate your ability to pay."

“Teacher, thank you so much…” Jemin felt a surge of gratitude.

My mentor has indeed been very dedicated to my affairs.

Clark waved his hand, saying nothing more.

After saying goodbye to his mentor Clark, Jemin returned to the Golden Garden.

Looking at the enormous points displayed on the Magic Network terminal, he began to plan what to do next.

Even with the Red Dust Elixir as a high-value commodity, at a production rate of two bottles per month, it would still take him eight or nine years to accumulate enough points to purchase a level seven large elemental pool.

This process is still long, but compared to the previously estimated decades of tedious crafting of refined gold, the process of earning points is much easier.

Moreover, Jemin had another idea in mind—if he could travel to other planes and collect more mortal energy, he could accelerate the accumulation of points.

After all, although the mortal energy of the Erosian plane is vast, it ultimately has an upper limit.

Furthermore, as the plane of Elosia is conquered and transformed by wizards, the amount of mortal energy it can produce will decrease.

In the multiverse, there is definitely more than one plane like Erosia that has a large number of intelligent life.

Over the next few months, Jemin once again focused most of his attention on his research.

Because his main research focused on the divine power belief network, he spent most of his time buried in the Golden Garden.

Aside from sending two bottles of magic potions to his mentor every month, he would occasionally travel to the Infernal Sulfur Plane during breaks in his research to check on the construction team's progress.

He buried himself in his research for several more months, becoming completely absorbed in it and even forgetting the passage of time.

Then one day, he suddenly received a call from Amy and Victor.

On the magic network terminal, projections of Amy and Victor appeared in front of him.

Both of them wore expressions of excitement and nervousness.

"Jemin! You're holed up in the lab again!" Amy's voice sounded much more composed.

"What happened? Why are you both contacting me at the same time?" Jemin asked, puzzled.

“We are fully prepared,” Victor said, his tone heavy. “After nearly a year of preparation, we have decided to wage the next interdimensional war.”

One year!
A thought struck Jemin.

He then realized that so much time had passed since he became engrossed in his research.

"Are they in such a hurry to start the next interdimensional war?" Jemin frowned.

After each interdimensional war, the workshop gives employees a rest period of six months to five years. Although this period can be adjusted freely, in Jeming's opinion, even five years is too rushed to fully study the gains of a single interdimensional space.

Moreover, Amy and Victor had only had a year-long break.

Amy sighed, her eyes filled with obvious envy: "You're so lucky, Jemin. Unlike us, when we hit a bottleneck in our research, we have to go to the battlefield to find a breakthrough. Is this what genius is...? I'm so envious I'm almost jealous."

"It's not that bad..." Jemin said with a hint of helplessness.

Victor nodded in agreement: "Yes, someone like you means that you are still in a phase of rapid development, how can we not envy you?"

They spoke very sincerely.

The path of a wizard is not always smooth.

When research hits a bottleneck and cannot be improved through meditation and experimentation, many wizards choose to go to the battlefield to hone their skills through life-or-death trials or to seek more resources to find new breakthroughs.

From one perspective, whether or not a wizard can continue to be studied can also reveal their aptitude.

Only those wizards with exceptional talent and boundless inspiration can immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge and enjoy pure ascension.

“We’re already considered to have taken the longest rest period among first-level wizards. Those combat wizards left even earlier… Do you remember Augusta?” Amy suddenly brought up a name. “It’s said that after the shortest rest period of six months, she rushed to join a new battlefield and couldn’t stand staying in the academy at all.”

Jemin nodded; the girl from Augusta had left a deep impression on him. "I remember she was very talented..."

"She just has a high talent for meditation. In the path of wizardry, she has relatively low talent. Being a combat specialist would suit her characteristics." Amy teased with a smile.

The group chatted for a few more minutes, but didn't say much more.

Wizards are already familiar with this kind of thing.

"Take care," Jemin said to the two of them.

"Don't worry, we won't die easily!" Amy patted her chest.

“Once your dimension is complete, remember to invite us to visit it,” Victor said with a smile.

After saying goodbye to the two, the projection on the magic network terminal disappeared, and Jemin fell into deep thought again.

Amy and Victor's words suddenly reminded him of something else.

He has indeed been engrossed in his research, making rapid progress on the path of knowledge.

But a wizard's desire to enhance his power is not limited to mere research.

After thinking it over, Jemin decided to add a project to improve his combat capabilities to his upcoming research plan.

“Improve combat effectiveness…” Jemin murmured to himself, his gaze falling on the rune artifact in the center of the laboratory.

He sat in a high-backed chair, his fingertips lightly tapping the edge of the table, his thoughts surging like a tide as he comprehensively reviewed and evaluated his combat system.

Generally speaking, the core of a wizard's combat power is undoubtedly the quantity and quality of the magical models constructed in their mental sea.

Each self-constructed magic model is equivalent to giving the wizard an additional talent or ability.

The most direct and effective way for a wizard to improve their combat power is to continuously learn and analyze, and ultimately independently construct new and more powerful wizardry models.

The more offensive magic one possesses, the more diverse one's methods, and the stronger one's ability to cope with various situations.

However, Jemin's situation is somewhat special.

After he acquired a special magical artifact like the Rune Artifact, simply adding more offensive magical models seemed somewhat superfluous.

Or rather, the benefits are not as high as in other areas.

Moreover, all three major witchcraft techniques in his spiritual sea are currently auxiliary, and with the diversification of talismanic artifacts, he is basically not lacking in means to fight enemies.

Instead of blindly pursuing quantity, we should focus our efforts on more groundbreaking areas.

After thinking for a moment, Jemin turned his gaze to the metal disc on the table.

That was a recently modified elemental storage type rune artifact.

"Given the characteristics of the rune artifact, there are two possibilities for an enemy that cannot be killed even after exhausting all the stored elemental power: it is too fast to hit, or it cannot be attacked in the first place."

As for the possibility of an enemy who is far stronger than oneself and cannot be killed, this can be ignored, because when encountering such an enemy, the primary thought should be how to survive.

The first type of enemy can use speed-enhancing rune artifacts to strengthen themselves, while the second type is most likely due to encountering special situations such as a magic-suppressing field.

"what?"

Thinking of this, Jemin suddenly remembered that his elemental storage rune artifact would also cause magic suppression during the recharging process.

"So... to make up for my weakness, I need to improve my combat ability under magic-free conditions. It seems I need to strengthen my body as a last resort." A clear look flashed in Jemin's eyes.

This is not the mainstream path of wizardry, but for him, it is an extremely necessary supplement.

There are some misunderstandings about the physical strength of wizards.

Many folk tales portray wizards as fragile sorcerers who hide in the shadows casting spells, and some wizards themselves don't even focus on improving their physical health during their training.

But this is not the case; wizards are not as physically weak as one might imagine.

In the process of absorbing elemental power and strengthening mental strength through meditation, the wizard's body will be unconsciously tempered by elemental power and gradually become stronger.

This enhancement is gradual and subtle. Although wizards do not possess explosive muscles and steel-like bones like warriors, they are generally much stronger and more resistant than ordinary mortals.

Moreover, the wizarding world is not lacking in magic that enhances physical abilities. Although these magic spells are not as dazzling as elemental attack magic spells, they can be surprisingly effective in certain situations.

Furthermore, if needed, wizards can even undergo body modification surgery to obtain a stronger physique.

Wizards have a far greater understanding of life than ordinary people. They can use alchemy, bloodline magic, bio-modification surgery, and even direct rune inscription to modify their own bodies.

Some wizards, in pursuit of ultimate power, went so far as to transform themselves beyond recognition, completely abandoning their human form and becoming half-human, half-beast monsters.

However, this brings with it exceptionally powerful physical strength, even enough to defeat beings of a higher level through sheer physical power.

However, despite these methods, most wizards still do not care about physical strength, and many potions themselves are designed to enhance mental power by harming the body.

This is determined by the very nature of wizarding power. The reason wizards are so powerful is because they skillfully use every elemental force, and through their understanding of various kinds of knowledge, they can unleash terrifying power ten or even a hundred times greater than the original elemental force with minimal effort.

Physical strength is linear; the maximum strength that the body can unleash is limited to its inherent strength, with virtually no "amplification."

On the other hand, strengthening the physical body has another advantage compared to strengthening mental power: there are almost no bottlenecks in strengthening the physical body.

The improvement of mental strength and soul is subject to multiple limitations such as talent, comprehension, and resources. The later the stage, the more difficult each step becomes.

While physical enhancement also has its limits, generally speaking, with sufficient resources and suitable methods, it is possible to continuously improve and reach an astonishing level.

It is a path of "diligence can make up for lack of talent". Although its upper limit is not as high as that of elemental power, it is more stable and controllable.

Therefore, as a supplementary means, there are many ways to improve physical strength in the wizarding world.

Wizards have also developed many body enhancement techniques and even specialized cultivation methods by studying the extraordinary powers of other planes.

These techniques often incorporate body-refining methods from other dimensions, bloodline curses, and even the power of divine remains, forming a unique wizard body-refining system.

With this in mind, Jemin no longer hesitated and directly opened the Magic Network terminal, beginning to search for relevant technologies in the vast knowledge base of the Norn Workshop.
