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

Chapter 226 Chores
Deep within the Golden Garden of the Erosian Plane, outside Jemin's underground laboratory, a faint fragrance of plants permeated the air.

Jemin was having a face-to-face conversation with a young wizard sent by Norren Academy. He looked somewhat inexperienced and exuded the aura of a third-level wizard apprentice.

"Lord Jemin, please confirm again. Do you intend to sell all of your territories in the Erosian prime plane, except for this area with a diameter of less than ten kilometers centered on the Golden Garden, to Noren Academy?"

This young third-level wizard apprentice already knew the contents of his mission from the mission briefing before he arrived.

But when he actually heard the decision made by the second-level wizard who looked even younger than him, he couldn't help but feel deeply surprised.

He couldn't help but confirm with Jemin several times in a row.

After receiving a positive reply from Jemin, he began to process the complicated land ownership transfer procedures on the light screen with a feeling that was hard to understand.

Jemin simply stood calmly to the side, watching the "slow" manner of this third-level wizard apprentice in his eyes, and couldn't help but ponder it quietly in his heart.

It seems that the advantages brought by maximizing the activity of the soul and body are greater than I imagined.

In his current perception, all the wizard apprentice's movements seemed to be happening in slow motion.

His gestures—raising his hand, sliding his fingertips across the light screen, even the frequency of his blinks—all seemed slow and sluggish.

It's not that the other party was actually moving slowly, but rather that his current "speed" was simply too fast.

This "speed" refers not only to the burst speed during combat, but also to improvements in dynamic vision, neural reflex speed, and cognitive processing efficiency under normal circumstances.

In his previous self-test, Jemin discovered that his current perception of one second is only about one-fifth of the normal passage of time in the outside world.

This means that what wizarding apprentices and first-level wizards perceive as one second is stretched into a long five seconds for Jemin!

Although, according to the data, a level two wizard only has a lifespan three to four times longer than a level one wizard.

However, if we consider the "perceived time" of a Level 2 wizard, the world they can experience and perceive can be regarded as having a "subjective lifespan" that is 15 to 20 times longer than that of a Level 1 wizard!
This is a fundamental gap at the level of life itself.

Jemin waited patiently, and what seemed to him like an hour later, the wizard apprentice finally "slowly" completed all the formalities.

Then, the wizard apprentice slowly raised his head and said to Jemin in a respectful tone, "Lord Jemin, the redivision of your territory has been completed. All the points obtained from the sale of the territory have been deposited into your personal account."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After politely bidding him farewell, Jemin couldn't wait to transform into a streak of light and return to his underground laboratory.

He immediately opened the Magic Network terminal and looked at the account balance column, which showed that the points had returned to millions. He couldn't help but sigh deeply.

That's right, the reason Jemin wanted to sell his territory was because he was broke.

Although Jemin made a fortune in the Frostfire Plane through military achievements and various spoils, he also had the little-known and precious "Red Dust Qi" as a source of income.

However, if we subtract the enormous debt he needs to repay to his mentor Clark and the Tower of Annihilation, and also deduct the costs of advancing to a second-level wizard and the subsequent purchase of various resources, then we can understand the difference.

After everything settled down, he really didn't have many points left that he could freely use.

His next plan—to fundamentally and completely transform the "Lava Giant" race—requires a massive amount of advanced biochemical modification knowledge related to the very essence of life.

Although Jemin had some prior knowledge of similar topics, it was clear that the two were not even in the same league.

Moreover, since discovering his own body-strengthening method, which allows him to continuously improve his learning ability and talent under extremely high academic pressure, Jemin has become somewhat disdainful of those less difficult, basic knowledge.

What he craved was the difficult knowledge that truly touched the core.

However, if one wants to purchase some core knowledge from the Norren Academy's database, even those that are not of a high level, or those that are considered "useless" due to their high difficulty or narrow application, it will cost a considerable amount of money.

After being promoted to a level two wizard, Jemin immediately began manufacturing "adamantite," attempting to gain more points by selling this high-value "raw material."

However, as the quantity he sold increased, the problem that Jemin had worried about finally appeared—the material market of several nearby wizarding forces, centered around Norren Workshop, began to gradually become saturated.

It's not that his "refined gold" is completely unsellable.

However, the sales speed of adamantite inevitably began to drop significantly, from an initial supply shortage to a situation where items had to be listed on the trading house and wait a long time for a buyer.

Because he possesses a "Level Two Cultivation Agreement," Jemin can sell the refined gold he creates through the vast sales network of the entire Star Ring Federation.

But the results were really not very good.

The reason why "fine gold" has caused a sales boom in Norren Workshop and surrounding forces is that it has some of the characteristics of level 6 materials, but is still priced like a level 5 material. In the market of the three major forces, led by Norren Workshop, it can be considered a high-quality product that is "good value for money".

However, if placed within the vast and boundless Star Ring Federation, the properties of "fine gold" are truly unremarkable.

It has neither a great reputation nor any irreplaceable features.

Jemin's "Refined Gold" was almost immediately buried among countless rare materials as soon as it was put on the market, and no one paid any attention to it.

Left with no other choice, Jemin had to sell his territory.

In any case, his future base camp is the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, where resources are purer and more suitable for his experiments.

This territory on the Erosian plane wasn't particularly important to him.

If it weren't for the need to study the unique "divine power belief network" of the Erosian prime plane up close, he would have even sold the Golden Garden along with it.

With this huge injection of funds, Jemin no longer hesitated.

He couldn't wait to purchase a large amount of advanced biochemical modification knowledge that he had long coveted from Norren Academy's online knowledge base.

Many of these knowledge items come with negative labels such as "too difficult to learn", "demanding prerequisites for application", and "mediocre results".

It is precisely because of these shortcomings that their prices are within Jemin's budget.

However, for Jamin now, the "excessive difficulty in learning" is actually a good thing.

In the days that followed, Jemin's life returned to that simple yet fulfilling rhythm.

He used the core of the newly cultivated Level 2 Lava Giant as a new "mother" to continuously cultivate more Level 1 and Level 2 Lava Giants as research materials for his experiments.

On the other hand, he devoted all his attention to learning the new, highly complex biochemical knowledge he had acquired.

……

……

Deep within his consciousness, before that magnificent and ancient Great Avenue Library, Jemin floated in mid-air, his fingertips lightly touching the books before him.

As usual, he had just finished reading a book today, which detailed the origin and characteristics of the "Fire Spirit," a natural deity.

The knowledge about the evolution and innate characteristics of elemental life intertwined like bolts of lightning deep within his highly active soul.

Soon, Jemin withdrew from the depths of his consciousness.

“Indeed, it’s too difficult to perform ‘beneficial’ ‘positive modifications’ on a creature like a lava giant, whose life essence is relatively complex, relying solely on my current knowledge as a level two wizard.” Jemin opened his eyes and pondered to himself, “But if I can combine it with the profound knowledge about the evolution of life from the cultivation world, then it becomes possible.”

The Great Dao Library allowed him to grasp the essence of various powerful elemental beings, while the knowledge of the Norn Workshop provided specific paths to transform life.

The combination of the two opened up a whole new world for Jemin.

Having completed his learning tasks for the day, Jemin, inspired by the vast knowledge systems of the two worlds, strode to the core area of ​​the laboratory.

There, on an operating table made of runic chains and energy beams, a newly bred Level 1 lava giant had been gutted and firmly bound.

Its surface of crimson rock was temporarily sealed off from activity by the continuous action of the fixed energy beam, revealing the core inside that pulsated with scorching magma.

Jemin first carefully examined the lava giant in front of him, focusing on its complex and efficient "digestive system," which was different from other elemental creatures.

The lava giant's digestive system is very special.

It can not only absorb elemental energy from lava, but can even directly digest the essence of flesh and blood from living beings.

Lava giants can use this to accelerate their maturation process, or even break through bottlenecks, thereby increasing their advancement speed!

This is extremely rare among purely elemental beings.

After in-depth and careful research, Jemin discovered that the lava giant's strange digestive system had excellent energy absorption and conversion efficiency and adaptability.

He believed that this might be a breakthrough point for improving the entire Lava Giant race and enhancing its potential and combat power!
Currently, the progress of this research is very encouraging, even exceeding his expectations!
Based on the current efficiency, Jieming estimates that it won't be long before there are some preliminary results!
