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

Chapter 6 Alchemy

After saying goodbye to the wizards, Jemin turned and stared blankly at the empty logistics area in front of him.

He could clearly feel that when he turned around, the seemingly indifferent instructors from the logistics department all turned their attention to him.

Clearly, the illusion barrier could only stop ordinary apprentices; it was utterly useless against these mentors, whose strength even Jemin couldn't fully perceive.

Although I was very unwilling, since I had already boarded the pirate ship, I had no choice but to continue making choices.

Even so, Jemin glanced at it. The numerous names, some familiar and some unfamiliar, in the unclear area sent a chill down his spine.

"It has a certain aesthetic appeal to letting recent high school graduates choose their college majors."

Silently muttering a complaint, Jieming strolled casually through the logistics department area while calmly pondering in his mind:

"Although I am unwilling, since I have already joined the academy, it is probably impossible to leave in the short term. So I can only strengthen myself while hiding myself as much as possible in order to prepare for the future battlefield."

If possible, Jemin really wanted to simply abandon his cultivation and switch to the extraordinary system of the wizarding world, hiding his biggest problem.

It's a pity that it can't be done.

Although the cultivation method of refining essence into qi is nearing obsolescence, it is not without its own advantages.

One of the most important aspects is that by using this method of cultivation, the connection between the cultivator's three treasures—essence, energy, and spirit—will become increasingly close.

Simply put, as long as one of the four elements (vitality, energy, and spirit) is enhanced, it will lead to a simultaneous improvement in the other two.

Similarly, if one component suffers significant damage, healing can be accelerated by depleting the other two.

This is indeed an advantage, but if it's placed under the "wasteful" option, then it's an undeniable flaw.

An overly tightly integrated combination of energy and spirit can cause Jemin to lose his skills and suffer almost irreparable damage to his body and soul.

At that point, let alone becoming a wizard, it's uncertain whether I'll even survive.

"Since it can't be destroyed, the only option is to disguise it as the power of the native land. Maybe there will be other ways after I become a formal wizard... In addition to this option, I also need to consider my future development..."

Jemin began to examine himself: What were his more distinctive characteristics compared to other wizards?
What is it like to live a second life?

A supernatural system from another world?

still is……

Jemin subconsciously shifted his attention to the white jade palace deep within his consciousness.

The biggest difference between him and others is, of course, his extraordinary knowledge from another world!

"It would be a waste not to use such a huge advantage, but we can't use it directly either. We need to add a layer of disguise. Besides, there is no spiritual power in the wizarding world, so that knowledge must be adjusted for this world..."

After careful consideration, Jemin gradually understood his own needs.

In summary, there's no need to worry about improving combat power in the short term. The subject he chooses should ideally reveal the essence of this world, or at least allow him to understand and utilize the uniqueness of various substances, energies, and rules in this world.

"Then the result is obvious."

Having made up his mind, Jemin decisively turned around and walked towards a certain area.

As soon as he approached, he could smell a strange odor, a mixture of smelting metal, burning plants, and various unknown reagents. "Alchemy, which the Fool regards as a technique for transforming metals, is in reality a mirror of cosmic truth. This ancient wisdom is not merely a skill for transforming matter, but also a path to the sublimation of the soul..."

Jemin silently read the introduction on the screen in front of him, confirming his thoughts.

This was his choice: alchemy.

The technology to explore the changes in matter and soul, and thus to study the truth of the world.

If he can master it, it will not only help Jemin to "localize" the skills in the Great Dao Library, but also help him to disguise his own power.

I walked straight to the innermost information desk, where a wizard who looked very much like an "alchemist" sat—he was thin, with sparse hair that revealed his scalp, and wore a pair of monocles that were quite unusual in the mortal world, behind which were sharp but tired eyes.

The finger joints are large, but the fingers appear quite flexible, clearly indicating that he has been dealing with various materials for many years.

“Hello… Instructor Clark.” Jemin glanced at the nameplate on the other man’s chest, then paused slightly. “I would like to join the Department of Alchemy.”

Clark calmly raised his head and scrutinized the approaching Jemin with eyes that seemed to see right through him.

"Talent... Level 6?" Instructor Clark pushed up his monocle, his tone devoid of surprise, merely a simple confirmation.

Clearly, this mentor, Clark, already knew about Jemin's assessment results in some way.

“Yes, mentor,” Jemin replied respectfully.

“A wise choice.” Mentor Clark nodded slightly, his tone still calm, but with a hint of barely perceptible approval. “Dead geniuses are nothing. Those who survive, even if they are mediocre, will one day see their own scenery.”

"Yes, I will follow your instructions."

Clark seemed quite satisfied with his apprentice, Jemin. He said no more and pulled a scroll from under the table.

The scroll's surface shimmered with a faint glow and emitted a considerable energy fluctuation.

"The apprenticeship contract of Norren Workshop." Instructor Clark unfurled the scroll and showed it to Jemin. "Read it carefully. If you have no questions, you can sign it. Remember, once the contract takes effect, any violation of the terms will have severe consequences."

Jemin took a deep breath and accepted the heavy scroll.

The scroll is not very big, and the content that can be displayed on it is quite limited.

The text above is also composed of light screens, but it seems to have stopped halfway through writing and has no further content.

Jemin looked up at his mentor, Clark, who seemed to have no intention of explaining.

Looking at the small scroll in his hand, Jemin had an idea. He first reached out and pretended to check the scroll from left to right, and then "tried" to reach out and swipe his finger up the light screen!
Just as he had imagined, the text on the scroll slid along with the movement of his fingers—it was clearly a scroll-like display.

Seeing that Jemin had actually "found" the correct way to use the scroll in such a short time, Clark couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his originally serious face.

Because of the quietness of the Logistics Department and Jieming's previous performance, the other instructors in the Logistics Department were also secretly paying attention to this place.

Seeing the abilities that Jemin displayed and Clark's smug smile, the other mentors' gazes turned "resentful".

Especially when Clark deliberately looked up at them with a smug smile, their resentful gaze turned into envy, jealousy, and hatred.
