Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

"Speaking of which, the ingredients for the Spirit Water are actually... Wu Ke's death, and the other apprentices in the academy..."

Charlie's mind was filled with the echoes of Luo Kunlun's words. Every word felt like it was frozen in ice, making him feel cold all over and his scalp tingle.

He finally understood that his fate, and that of most of his apprentices, had already been sealed.

"Alright, I understand your situation." Luo Kunlun's voice interrupted his thoughts. "Tell me, what are your plans for the future?"

Charlie fell into deep thought, his brow furrowed with confusion and struggle.

Returning to the Blood of Silver? Impossible. Now that I've left that hellish place and learned about the Water of Spirit, there's no way I can go back.

Returning to the continent of Volo? That was originally his goal, but as it turned out, it was quite difficult.

Few ships would venture to the Forgotten Lands, especially the continent of Volo, unless absolutely necessary.

In the past, apprentices who could return to the Forgotten Lands basically did so by taking a ship that recruited talented individuals.

Aside from this route, the only way to get back is to rely on yourself.

How could a novice apprentice travel tens of thousands of miles of ocean to return home on his own?

No, that's impossible; you have to be a certified wizard.

A formal wizard?

"First of all, let me make myself clear." Luo Kunlun seemed to see through his thoughts and directly interrupted his fantasy, "If you want to go back, you'd better not count on me."

"I can't leave the archipelago for too long. If I, as a formal wizard, am absent, 'hyenas' will inevitably appear out of nowhere and steal everything of value. Those wizarding organizations leave formal wizards behind to guard the area, precisely because they don't want to return to find their hideout destroyed."

This is the predicament of managing power.

While they could obtain a stable supply of resources, their range of activities was also restricted, far less free than when they were alone. This was also the reason why Luo Kunlun hesitated to take action after obtaining information about the sea monsters.

Charlie was taken aback at first, then lowered his head and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

He and Mr. Luo were merely acquaintances; the fact that Mr. Luo saved his life was already an immense favor.

Given his current situation, it's already a blessing that he's alive. To ask for more would be ungrateful.

"So, you should stay on the island for now," Lo Kunlun's voice rang out again. "Savis and the others have been preparing for the education of gifted individuals, and they happen to be short of someone knowledgeable in the field. They would welcome you."

"You can earn contribution points through teaching, enough for your daily expenses and to accumulate resources. Once you're strong enough, there will naturally be ways to go back."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Kunlun brought over a lump of flesh and blood, and took some more from Charlie.

Mix them together, knead and shape them quickly, and a hand gradually takes shape, which is then precisely attached to Charlie's left wrist.

The warm sensation of flesh and blood merging instantly came over me, and the tendons and bones at the broken point seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, quickly connecting with my new palm.

"I've reattached your left hand. With your flesh and blood fused together, the compatibility should be quite good," Luo Kunlun said calmly. "If there's any rejection reaction, come to the Wizard Tower to find me immediately."

"As for damaging your soul's lifespan, I don't have that ability. If I did, I would have already swept across the entire world."

"Therefore, you can only make up for it by breaking through your own cultivation level. Each advancement can restore some of the lost lifespan."

"The island's apothecary produces a batch of primary and intermediate Soul Snail potions every year. Some are used for trade, and the rest are stored in the logistics warehouse. Of course, you have to exchange them for contribution points."

"In short, how far you go in the future depends entirely on yourself."

After saying that, Luo Kunlun said no more, turned and left the cabin, leaving Charlie alone on the spot, looking at his left hand that he had lost and found again, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

..........

Charlie's affair was just a minor incident for Lokunlun. He didn't pay much attention to it and went straight back to the Wizard's Tower.

"Master, you're back."

As soon as they entered the tower, they saw Bailey and his companions, who had changed into clean clothes, respectfully come to greet them.

Although Luo Kunlun only asked them to study the potion-growing techniques and cooperate with regular blood draws, they were always uneasy about living under someone else's roof, so they took the initiative to take on the miscellaneous tasks in the tower, wanting to make more of a difference.

Luo Kunlun frowned, his tone slightly reprimanding: "I've already told you what you should do. Do I need to repeat myself? Don't waste time on these trivial matters. I have a dust-removing spell; I don't need anyone to clean!"

What he values ​​most is potion cultivation; these trivial matters are a complete waste of time.

"Yes, yes! Master, we understand!" Mr. and Mrs. Bailey trembled with fear and quickly bowed in response, their faces full of terror.

"Very good." Luo Kunlun's tone softened slightly. "I will conduct a theoretical assessment for you in a week. If you pass, I will arrange new accommodations for you and begin practical training. Prepare well and don't let me down."

Then, he turned his gaze to Rhine, who was standing to the side, and added, "Rhine, come with me. I need your cooperation in some research."

Rhine's body visibly trembled, but he suppressed his unease and replied in a low voice, "Yes, Master."

She followed behind Luo Kunlun, walking up the spiral staircase, her heart filled with trepidation.

Luo Kunlun ignored her emotions and headed straight for the laboratory at the top of the tower. The reason he called Rhine separately was because of the 7% of Forest Spirit bloodline in her body.

This has reached the threshold of a bloodline user, meaning that the other party can cultivate the blood refining technique of a bloodline user.

A method similar to wizard meditation, through which those with the bloodline can develop their potential and strengthen their bloodline.

The minimum requirement for Blood Refining Technique is having 5% extraordinary bloodline in the body, and different bloodlines have different requirements for Blood Refining Technique.

Luo Kunlun naturally didn't possess the Blood Refining Technique of the Forest Spirit Bloodline, but he could create one himself.

The life core of extraordinary beings is different from that of ordinary beings, possessing a transcendent power that ordinary beings do not have. This heritable core is the bloodline.

Those who possess bloodline but whose bloodline is incomplete have different defects. These defects refer to the incompleteness of their bodies and the core of their lives, where there is still a "mortal" part.

The ultimate goal of the Blood Refining Technique is to make the "ordinary" completely "extraordinary".

Through the activation and development of inner potential, and the nourishment of external substances to replenish the bloodline, the bloodline is restored to its full potential.

This is the basic principle of Blood Refining Technique. Once you understand this, Luo Kunlun can create many things on his own.

In this process, a reference point is necessary.

So Luo Kunlun called Rhine and made her a test subject.

If it's about strengthening the bloodline, then Luo Kunlun's blood extraction and absorption of the bloodline will be even more effective.

There was nothing he could do; with only 7% of her bloodline, even if Luo Kunlun absorbed her, he could only obtain a fragment at most.

.......

Upon reaching the top of the tower, Rhine bit her lip and obediently spread her legs.

"Master, my master needs me—"

"No, I'm just wondering, why does a young girl like you always think about things like that in your crotch?"

Luo Kunlun was speechless. Had she read some erotic stories before? Like those about a captured female knight or something?

But now is not the time to do this kind of thing. Can't we wait until later?

"Drink this medicine."

Luo Kunlun took out a bottle of bright red potion and handed it to Rhine.
