Wizard: I can refine all things.

Chapter 61 Inherited Witchcraft

After hearing Jord's explanation, Richard understood the benefits of the secret realm.

However, this kind of opportunity should be more useful to wizards, who have ample knowledge and can distinguish between valuable and worthless things. These apprentices haven't even finished learning the knowledge their teacher imparted, so entering the secret realm will most likely be like entering a treasure trove, only to leave empty-handed.

"Let's put the matter of the secret realm aside for now, Richard. There's another matter I called you here for."

Jord gave Chuck a wink, and Chuck instantly understood and left the lab.

Richard swallowed hard, looking somewhat nervous.

"Richard, you've been my student for ten years now. You've passed the exam, which proves you're not just a bookworm who only knows how to read books."

As he spoke, George took a crystal ball out of the drawer.

"It's time to pass on some things to you."

Richard nervously took the crystal ball, and the instant he made mental contact with it, a complex stream of information entered his brain.

"Those were all basic knowledge. All alchemists teach their students that. The only difference is the blueprints for the magical armor."

But this time, the knowledge is different from before.

Richard awoke from his daze.

This knowledge is indeed different from what I've learned before.

This time, Jorrod gave him a complete set of alchemical spells.

Alchemy spells are different from evocation spells, which can be described using runes. Alchemy spells can't even be called spells; it would be more appropriate to call them surgeries or techniques.

The alchemical spell Richard just received is called Adaptive Body.

To summarize its effects briefly, this spell can increase the user's resistance to various elemental damages, as well as physical damage, and also has the effect of unlocking the body's potential.

Jorod got up and led Richard to a laboratory filled with all sorts of strange and unusual equipment.

These devices, including the Iron Maiden, the incubation chamber, and the battering ram-like pendulum, look quite bizarre in a laboratory.

"You're following the path of bloodline alchemy, so the Adaptive Body spell is a perfect fit for you," Jorrod said, pointing to the various items in the room. "But whether you can accept this spell is up to you."

Training an adaptive body is simple: it involves constantly using external stimuli to elicit corresponding coping mechanisms from the body.

To gain fire resistance, you need to constantly burn your body with fire; to gain cold resistance, you need to be in an extremely cold environment.

Richard's face stiffened. The effect of this technique was astonishing. According to the information that Jord had placed in the crystal ball, once the Adaptive Body was trained to a certain level, it could even ignore elemental damage of thousands of energy levels and also had extremely strong protection against physical damage such as blunt force, piercing, and cutting.

It is a spell with great potential.

But this training process is really...inhumane.

Jorod handed a key to Richard.

"This training room is yours from now on. The equipment here is sufficient for your training of your adaptable body."

After saying that, George R.R. left the lab, leaving Richard alone to think quietly.

……

Richard stayed in the training room for a while before finally deciding to begin training to adapt to the body.

Gaining power is never an easy thing.

The cultivation of the Adaptive Body is divided into two steps: destruction and repair.

The destruction was simple; the training room equipment ranged from fire to ice, from blunt force pendulums to piercing iron maidens—all kinds of damage were available.

However, repairing it is a bit troublesome. According to the crystal ball's records, before training the Adaptive Body, the user must take an injection of 100 milliliters of Adaptive Potion, which is the core of the Adaptive Body.

After the destruction is complete, the user must enter a specially made container and be soaked in a special restorative potion for one hour.

This is a loop.

Although Jorrod provided him with a training room, saving him the trouble of making training equipment, Richard still needed to prepare the potion for recovery himself, and the materials for this potion were not cheap.

With his current income, he can barely afford these expenses, but as his training progresses, the expenses will gradually increase. Later on, Richard will even need to prepare different recovery potions to cope with different training sessions.

Richard rubbed his temples. He had been living a life of luxury for too long, and suddenly having such a large sum of money to spend was really giving him a headache.

"Hiss, should we increase shipments? Or launch a new product?"

Rubbing his head, Richard returned to his room and began flipping through his notes.

He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have one more potion recipe he hadn't obtained yet.

After searching through his notes for a long time, Richard finally found his record.

"Physical Enhancement Potion, Library Number n7111".

After reviewing the notes, Li immediately set off for the library.

On the bookshelf where the cipher notebooks were kept, Richard found the notebook containing the recipes again.

[Ingredients: An unknown wizard's notes]

[Retrievable Information: Constitution Enhancement Potion Formula]

[Refinement Cost: 25 Spirit Points]

[Whether to extract]

"The medicine to enhance physical fitness, how could I have forgotten about it?"

Richard slapped his forehead and immediately borrowed the notebook.

Once back in his room, Richard couldn't wait to begin the extraction process.

Twenty-five points of mental strength is not a big problem for Richard, who currently has thirty-two points of mental strength.

As the sensation of being struck by a heavy hammer came from his head, a ball of white light containing the recipe appeared above the Miracle Furnace.

But after absorbing it, Richard frowned.

"Egrass, I remember that thing was extinct in the Wizarding World."

The owner of this notebook was a wizard during the Wizarding Wars, and the recipes he created were based on the materials available at the time.

However, after the Wizarding Wars, countless creatures were wiped out in the wizarding world. If it were auxiliary materials, Richard might have been able to replace them with materials of the same nature. But Egla Grass happens to be the main ingredient of this potion, and replacing the main ingredient is no less than inventing a new formula.

"Is relying on secret realms the only option?"

Li examined the recipe on the paper, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

After thinking for a long time, Richard finally burned the recipe to ashes.

The secret realm is too unstable. Whether or not we can find the Egra Grass is unknown, and even if we do find it, the current environment of the wizarding world cannot cultivate it.

"What a disappointment."

Richard leaned back, his mind wandering to other things.

He needs to review the encrypted notes thoroughly soon and extract as much knowledge as possible from them. However, based on this experience, Richard estimates that most of the knowledge in these encrypted notes can only serve as a reserve of knowledge, with only a small portion being practically applicable.

Aside from the cipher notes, he also needed to start catching up on the knowledge of the Evocation School. Thanks to the success of his potion business, he had already exchanged all the basic alchemical knowledge with Jord, and the more advanced knowledge was mostly related to chimeras.

Richard had tried this direction a few years ago, but unfortunately he simply didn't have the talent and couldn't produce anything decent. Even if he insisted on pursuing it, he wouldn't make a name for himself.

After thinking for a long time, Richard finally set two short-term goals.

First, train the body to adapt; second, keep up with knowledge about physical development.

As for his future direction, Richard has tentatively decided on blood alchemy, since the alchemy formula he has is enough for him to use until he becomes a wizard.

Once he becomes a wizard, he will have plenty of time to determine his future direction.
