A noun entry: Wizard

"What is this? A stone picked up by the roadside, and it can actually fetch a price?"

Russell picked it up casually, looked at it briefly, and then tossed it back with a hint of disdain.

"Hehe, this isn't just any ordinary stone. The place where they got this thing lost over a dozen knights just trying to break in!"

"I thought there would be some treasure, but all I found was this one stone being displayed. Tell me, how could it not be a treasure?"

The stall owner described to Russell in an exaggerated tone: "Just carrying this stone with you every day has a calming and tranquilizing effect."

"It's no exaggeration to say that carrying this stone with you every day will greatly increase the speed at which you accumulate mental energy through meditation!"

"If it were really that good, how come you couldn't sell it?"

Russell chuckled and looked through the other items on the stall.

Russell picked up a book, or rather a notebook, with a dark red cover and a rough texture that indicated its cheap material, and flipped through two pages.

The text above contained strange characters, resembling scribbles, and was unlike any of the common languages.

"This book was also dug up from that place... It is said to have been left behind by an ancient wizard, and it contains terrifyingly powerful spells."

"If it weren't for the fact that the ancient wizards' script is now undecipherable, why would I be putting this book up for sale?"

Russell looked speechless: "Didn't you just say that only that one stone was being worshipped?"

"Ahem, a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue."

The stall owner coughed twice and said, "Actually, this stone is used to display this book."

"Look, isn't the groove on this rock just the right size to put this book in?"

"Just think about it, if even the stones used to display the books are so precious, how precious must the books themselves be?"

"I can see you're genuinely interested in buying it, young man. How about this: you can take it for a thousand gold coins, how about it?"

The stall owner looked very troubled, sighing and groaning, before quoting an incredibly high price.

A thousand gold coins can be exchanged for six Origin Stones; in the mortal world, their value is even more astonishing!

It should be noted that a single gold coin is worth ten thousand copper coins, which is more than enough to meet the daily living needs of an adult for a year.

Russell rolled his eyes. "Are you treating gold coins like copper coins? They're worth at most 1000 silver coins."

"Deal!" the stall owner said directly.

"I misspoke. I meant to say 100 silver coins," Russell said, coughing twice.

"make a deal!"

The stall owner simply stuffed the books and stones into a bag and placed it in Russell's hands.

"This is Panlong City, you wouldn't renege on your debt, would you?" He rubbed his hands together and chuckled.

"...Okay, I'll remember you."

Russell, carrying a bag, feigned a gritted-teeth expression and tossed a gold coin to the other man.

"Look at what you're saying! Welcome to visit again!" The stall owner looked like he'd made a fortune.

He learned about the origins of these two items from those knights, and at least 90% of it was exaggerated.

Then he embellished the story himself.

Even so, these two items remained in his possession for almost half a year, during which time several wizard apprentices came to see them.

In the end, they all looked at him as if he were an idiot, and then turned and left.

What price could a stone, with what appears to be graffiti, possibly be worth if it were to be passed off as a wizard-related notebook?

The stone is just an ordinary stone.

Although the notes look quite convincing, anyone with a little knowledge can tell that the paper is very new.

She might have just given birth last week.

Naturally, no one will buy it.

Now that they have the opportunity to sell, the stall owners are naturally seizing it.

He had initially thought Russell was interested in the stone and, adhering to the principle of making a quick sale, he showered it with praise.

But the other person dropped the stone, picked up the notebook again, and only then did the stall owner tell the story that the knights had made up.

Russell carried the bag all the way back to Panlong Mountain and went into his research room.

He needs to examine the material of this stone.

If the answer is indeed as he guessed, then he has definitely hit the jackpot.

As for the text in the notes, Russell found it somewhat familiar, but he needed to search through relevant materials to confirm it.

"Preliminary observations indicate that the internal elemental fluctuation value is 0%, and the material hardness is level 2."

Russell picked up a small piece of stone he had knocked off, put it into a test tube, and then prepared a dark green solution, which he poured into the test tube as well.

I gently shook the test tube and then let it stand for half an hour.

"It does not react with solution No. 3."

Russell then poured a pale red solution into the test tube.

Upon contact, the dark green and light red solutions begin to react violently, turning into gas with a hissing sound as the reaction is completely completed.

Not a single drop of liquid remained.

Russell quickly examined the gravel inside the test tube, and finding no change, poured it out and weighed it.

"The weight was 10.47 grams both before and after, and no elemental reaction occurred after solution testing."

Russell finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After testing using various methods, he was able to confirm that the stone was a very rare material.

Absolute Power Stone.

Normal stones, though they may look ordinary, still contain earth elements.

If the earth element does not exist, then it should not be called a stone, as its essence is completely different from that of a stone.

For example, the atomized stone.

It is named so simply because it looks like a stone.

"The Absolute Stone can isolate supernatural forces. If we could use the Absolute Stone to build a completely sealed house..."

"Then, the wizard will not be able to sense any source of energy or elements of heaven and earth in this house."

"It is said that in ancient times, a prison that could not be used was made by using the Absolute Power Stone and other materials."

"These days, Absolute Stones are extremely rare. Some wizards have even created a spell based on Absolute Stones that can be used to suppress supernatural powers."

Russell's eyes lit up.

Using the Absolute Stone as a material, he can create that spell into a spell scroll.

Wizards are such beings. Even the most extraordinary beings would avoid the Absolute Power Stone, but wizards would study and utilize it, turning it into their own power!

"That spell is only at the upper level of the zero rank, but thanks to the properties of the Absolute Energy Stone, it is effective even if a formal wizard is ambushed."

"The only problem is that this effect doesn't last very long."

"Otherwise, this spell would definitely not be a Tier 0 Upper level. Perhaps I can improve it later, since this Absolute Energy Stone is quite large, enough for many experiments."

Russell weighed the Absolute Stone.

5043.61 grams.

According to the book, this substance is measured in grams when it is used for research.

However, each time a super-powerful stone appears, it is found to be in the shape of an ordinary stone, and it usually weighs several kilograms.

Russell's work is considered quite extensive.
