Wizard Immortal

Chapter 128 Trading

After confirming that the spacious ruins had been completely emptied, the three began to walk out.

After traveling a short distance, they returned to the deck.

Several days later.

"Chip, detect the target reaction."

In the spacious room, standing silently in front of a large wooden table, looking at what was in front of him, Adir gave instructions to the chip in his mind.

On the wooden table in front of him, a transparent glass bottle sat quietly, containing some emerald green liquid that emitted a unique fragrance.

Within the emerald green liquid, the golden root of an unknown plant was quietly immersed, and it appeared to still have a slight vitality.

"The rate of target activity loss is beginning to slow down..." The voice of the chip's machinery rang in his mind again.

"...It seems like it was a success."

Hearing the notification from the chip in his mind, Adir breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that nourishing with special plant-based potions is indeed having some effect. The root parts that would have died completely within a few years can now be extended to about ten years through the special nourishment of the potion."

"Although this time is still not long, it will at least give me more time to see if I can save this golden tree."

Standing still, Adir composed himself and muttered to himself.

For the other wizards, the Golden Tree before them was beyond saving. Having lost its nourishment over a long period and its main trunk, it couldn't be saved by conventional methods. Only by constantly nourishing it with precious resources like the Water of Life could it possibly be revived.

Even in ancient times, the Water of Life was an extremely precious thing, and in the present era it has completely disappeared. Naturally, it cannot be used to nourish this Golden Tree that has only a little bit of life left.

However, Adir is different.

He possesses the talent to travel between worlds; given the right conditions, he can travel to other worlds.

Resources that have disappeared from the wizarding world today may not be impossible to find in other worlds.

"Let's just treat it as an experiment. Even if it fails, there's not much to lose. It's just some nourishing liquid."

Standing there, looking at the emerald green liquid in the glass bottle in front of him, Adir thought to himself.

Actually, this nourishing potion formula originated from Edith. Originally, it only had the effect of supplementing plant nutrients and accelerating growth. It wasn't even considered a basic potion; it was merely one of the auxiliary potions. Its effects were greatly enhanced after being improved by Adir, and it can even provide some nourishment to advanced plants like the Golden Nymph.

Standing there, observing the changes in the roots for a while, Adir put away the glass bottle and carefully placed it aside before walking to the bedside.

Sitting quietly at the head of the bed, Adir took out a golden leaf from the side.

The golden leaves don't look very big, but they are entirely golden, as if they were made of gold, with faint patterns on them, making them look very mysterious and beautiful.

These are leaves from the Golden Tree. After obtaining them, Adir carefully preserved them until now, when they were finally brought out.

Looking at the leaf in front of him, Adir took a bite without hesitation.

A cool, sweet aroma wafted out, carrying a delicate fragrance.

"The main body is affected by an unknown active substance... mental power begins to increase..." The voice of the chip machine rang in his mind again.

"According to the information, if you can enter a meditative state immediately after consuming a leaf of the Golden Nen tree, you will gain more benefits." Sitting on the edge of the bed, thinking about the information on the Golden Nen tree, this thought flashed through Adir's mind.

With that thought in mind, he closed his eyes and slowly entered a deep meditative state.

A dark and deep mental sea began to emerge. As Adir entered meditation, a golden power slowly merged into the center of the mental sea, seemingly producing some inexplicable effect.

Time slowly passed, and after more than ten minutes, Adir opened his eyes again.

"Name: Adir Fakus. Strength: 13.5. Agility: 14. Constitution: 14.4. Spirit: 8.3."

Before his eyes, the familiar body panel quietly appeared.

"Mental strength increased by 0.4, physical fitness increased by 0.2, and the other stats also increased to varying degrees."

Looking at his physical data and comparing it with the previous changes, Adir sighed, "Just one golden leaf has saved me at least several months of meditation. With such good results, no wonder it's so precious."

A few months may not seem like much, but that's how long it is for Adir.

Adir himself is a fourth-grade aptitude, and the effect of his meditation far surpasses that of apprentices of other aptitudes. In the same amount of meditation time, the effect is several times that of a third-grade aptitude apprentice.

A single golden leaf can save Adir several months of meditation time, and if used on other apprentices of third-class aptitude, it could save at least one or two years of meditation time.

"The main body's activity has increased, and the lifespan limit has begun to increase..." At this moment, the voice of the chip machine in my mind sounded again.

"Does it also have some effect on extending lifespan?"

Feeling the changes in his body and hearing the notification from the chip in his mind, Adir nodded and then silently stood up.

He carefully placed the remaining three golden leaves of the golden ginnal leaf into a black box for safekeeping before leaving.

He opened the door and walked straight into a room some distance away, where a figure holding an iron cane was already waiting.

"Adir, you've come."

Hearing footsteps, Radel stood up and greeted Adir.

"Is everything ready?"

Looking at Radel before him, Adir nodded and then spoke.

"It's almost ready." Radel said, standing still after hearing Adir's words.

Several days earlier, they had agreed to trade some items, and it wasn't until now that everything was ready.

"Let's begin."

Looking at the other person, Adir opened the package he had brought, revealing several books inside.

"Basic bloodline science, and spell templates for blood coagulation."

He glanced at the books in his hand, then looked at Radel across from him and spoke.

On the other side, listening to Adir's words, Radel nodded and took out some of the things he had brought with him.

"This is the basic knowledge involved in human modification," he explained, looking at Adir.

After they finished introducing themselves, they began to exchange items, each taking what the other had brought out and holding it up to their eyes.

"The information has been collected..."

After casually flipping through the book in his hand, the mechanical voice of the chip in his mind rang out again.

"Now that the transaction is complete, I'll be leaving."

Adir glanced at Radel in front of him and said this before turning to leave.

"Lord Adir, please wait a moment..." Radel's voice came quickly from behind Adir.

Upon hearing the voice, Adir paused slightly and turned around to look behind him: "Is there anything else?"

In the room behind him, meeting Adir's gaze, Radel gave a wry smile: "Do you still have the Golden Leaf you have? I'd like to trade some with you."

Upon hearing this, Adir was taken aback, a strange expression appearing on his face.

Seeing the expression on Adir's face, Radel said helplessly, "You know, I once tried to become a formal wizard, and all my life force was burned away."

"Besides increasing mental strength and physical constitution, Kinnaen Leaf also has the effect of increasing vitality to a certain extent, which is very useful for my situation."

"You don't actually want to try to become a full-fledged wizard again, do you?" Standing there, listening to Radel's words, Adir looked at Radel with a strange expression on his face and said.

"That's the idea."

Standing in front of Adir, Radel nodded directly: "Of course, the premise is that I can replenish the life force I burned before, so that I may be able to obtain another set of resources for the breakthrough from my academy."

Upon hearing this, Adir remained silent, only asking in return, "Klardi also has Kinnera Ye; why don't you go find him?"

"I contacted him, but we couldn't reach an agreement."

Radel shook his head and said meaningfully, "Klady is almost forty years old."

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Adir's eyes.

There's a common saying in the wizarding world: if an apprentice hasn't become a full wizard by the age of forty, their chances of becoming one become increasingly slim.

This is because the process of becoming a formal wizard requires burning life force, and the younger the apprentice, the stronger their life force, and naturally the greater their chance of advancement.

Since Krad is already approaching forty, his future advancement to a formal wizard will inevitably be affected. If he wants to become a formal wizard, he will also need something like the Golden Leaf to replenish his life force, so it's highly unlikely he'll sell it to Radel.

Only wizards like Adir, who reached the third-class apprenticeship at a young age, might choose to trade.

Thinking of this, Adir asked, "How many gold leaves do you need?"

"Of course, the more the better."

Standing in front of Adir, Radel said, "Although the Golden Leaf can increase lifespan, its main effect is to enhance mental strength and physical constitution. It is not very effective for simply increasing lifespan."

"My condition is quite serious. I need to replenish the life force that was burned away. The more Kinnaen Leaves I have, the better."

"Alright." Hearing Radel's words, Adir nodded, and after considering for a moment, said, "Two pieces. I can only choose to trade two gold leaves."

"Of the four leaves I received, I've already used one. I can only take out two of the remaining three."

"Alright." Radel nodded in response to Adir's words and said nothing more.
