Wizard Immortal

Chapter 161 The Elixir of Immortality

"Where are the others?"

Standing in the corridor, under the fanatical gazes of Sidm and the others, Adir casually killed a few mutants, then looked at Sidm and asked.

"We were suddenly attacked by these people, and several people were injured and are now lying in their rooms."

Upon seeing Adir, Sidham felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively sheathed his longsword, reporting to Adir.

"Hmm, well done."

Adir nodded and looked up behind him.

The rain outside continued to fall, intermittently accompanied by bursts of thunder, though it was beginning to subside. The surrounding winds, however, continued to howl, dispersing the lingering stench of blood.

"The rain is almost stopped. We'll leave as soon as it gets light."

Looking at the sky outside, Adir spoke.

the next day.

As dawn broke, the rain outside had almost stopped.

Adir sent a few guards to fetch the luggage, and then, led by Bonnie and Brand, slowly began searching other parts of the town.

Each of those mutants was a smaller version of the bizarre, and the power gained from killing them was not insignificant. Adir didn't intend to waste any of them.

With two locals leading the way, the process went very smoothly, and they found seven or eight fish that had slipped through the net, which was quite a haul.

During this process, Adir also found the little girl named Amy from before.

She hid under the wooden bed in a small room all night without being discovered by anyone until she came out during the day, where she was discovered by Adir.

After thinking for a while, Adir decided to take her with him.

After last night's fighting, this town has become a dead town, and there are still strange residual radiation effects around it. Leaving such a little girl in this town is no different from murder. It would be better to take her back to the manor and settle her in.

If it doesn't involve any personal gain, Adir is still willing to lend a helping hand to such pitiful people.

After searching the entire town and confirming that there was nothing to be found, Adir met up with Sidham, mounted his horse, and quickly left the town.

Leaving the town, they did not follow the originally planned route, but instead chose to return home directly.

This was Adir's decision.

His original purpose for this trip was to search for some forbidden areas and see if he could find anything strange inside to accelerate the enhancement of his mental power.

But in this small town, he reaped huge rewards. He not only slaughtered a bunch of mutants for a while, but also killed two monsters. This was enough for his final accumulation, so there was no need for him to try his luck in those forbidden areas where the truth was unknown.

In addition, since Amy and Bonnie were with her when they left the town, it would be somewhat inconvenient to continue on their way.

Walking along the road, stepping on the softened earth after the rain, Adir led his team back in the direction of their return journey.

·············

More than two months later.

In a lavishly furnished room within the manor, Adir opened his eyes, ending his meditation.

"Name: Adir Fakus. Strength: 14.8. Agility: 15.4. Constitution: 15.2. Spirit: 11.4."

Before my eyes, the familiar attribute panel appeared, clearly displaying my body's data.

"After more than two months of digesting the two newly acquired crystal cores, we have finally reached this point."

Sitting up in bed and looking at his physical data, Adir nodded in satisfaction.

At this point, more than two months had passed since they left the town.

In just over two months, after digesting the two newly acquired crystal cores, Adir's physical abilities were brought to their current level.

Putting aside other data, just considering mental strength, the most important statistic for advancing to a formal wizard, he has already reached the standard for advancement. If it weren't for Adir holding him back, he could start advancing at any time.

After casually glancing around, Adir walked to a glass mirror in the corner of the room and examined his own appearance.

In the pure glass mirror, a handsome young man with deep black eyes appeared. His black hair was interspersed with a few strands of light silver. He looked calm and confident, with a refreshing temperament and charm.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Adir remained calm and showed no reaction.

In reality, he was almost nineteen years old, but he still looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, with almost no change from the past.

This must be due to the influence of his elven bloodline. Compared to ordinary humans, elves are a race that lives much longer; even ordinary elves can generally live to be 120 years old, and their childhood is much longer than that of humans.

If nothing unexpected happens, Adir will remain in this state for a long time, until he is in his twenties before things start to change.

However, Adir didn't care about this.

"Chip, based on my current physical data and with the aid of thorn sap, simulate the success rate of advancing to a formal wizard!" Standing in place, Adir instructed the chip in his mind.

"Task established... Extract database data... Start simulation..." The voice of the chip's machinery echoed in my mind.

"Simulation complete... Estimated success rate for promotion to a full-fledged wizard is 79.1%..." Not long after, the mechanical voice sounded again.

"Such a low success rate?" Adir frowned as he listened to the notification from the Western Crystal chip in his mind.

Strictly speaking, this promotion rate is not low at all. With a greater than 50% chance of being promoted, other apprentices would probably be laughing in their dreams.

But for Adir, the success rate was indeed rather low.

He himself possesses a rare fourth-grade aptitude. As long as he meets the promotion requirements and has access to promotion resources, his chances of promotion will be around 50%. Not to mention his incredibly powerful physical attributes; in terms of physical strength alone, he probably surpasses even some formal wizards, and the vitality he possesses is naturally unmatched by other apprentices.

The stronger the apprentice's vitality is during the promotion process, the greater the chance of a successful promotion.

Besides vitality, Adir's mental strength also far exceeded the promotion standard. With so many favorable conditions, the promotion probability was less than 80%, which was indeed quite low.

"We can wait a little longer. The chance of success in becoming a full-fledged wizard is highest on the first try, so we must do our best to ensure a successful advancement."

Standing in front of the glass mirror, Adir calmly thought, "It seems I still need to find a way to refine that drop of spirit potion."

During this period, in addition to the improvement in his physical fitness, he also made progress in other areas.

The alternative formula for that Elixir has been simulated. The reason why it hasn't been refined yet is not because Adir doesn't want to, but simply because the materials are too troublesome.

The new Drizzle potion formula can be largely replaced with materials from this world, and many things are easy to find. However, there are a few materials that are also very rare in this world and are difficult to find.

One of them is a medicinal herb called Necrophyte.

The Necrophyte is an extremely rare plant. In this world, it only grows in places with large numbers of graveyards or forbidden areas, making it a very rare commodity.

This stuff is highly toxic. If an ordinary person ingests it, they will immediately experience extremely intense hallucinations and eventually die in a frenzy. It has always been regarded as a poison in this world.

Adir had obtained some of these things in a forbidden area before, but unfortunately, he had used them up long ago.

"It seems we'll have to send people out to scout ahead while also asking Thor and the others."

As Adir pushed open the door to the room, he walked along, lost in thought.

Compared to him, an outsider, the local nobles like Thor were the real locals, and it was much easier for them to find things than for Adir.

Moreover, since the Necrophyte is a highly toxic and extremely difficult-to-detect poison in this world, it's possible that some nobles might even possess it in their collections.

With this thought in mind, he went to another room, picked up a pen and paper, and prepared to write a letter to Saul, asking him to help him search.

After the message was sent out, some good news soon followed.

After Adir promised to use Crimson Blood and some other things in exchange, Thor readily gave Adir several Necrophytes from his castle collection and promised to continue helping Adir search for more.

Sitting on a wooden chair in the living room, Adir took a black box handed to him by the messenger and opened it.

As soon as the black wooden box was opened, a unique fragrance wafted out, instantly invigorating the senses.

Inside the wooden box, several black necromancers lay quietly, their moisture evaporated and they began to wither due to the passage of time.

Sitting on the wooden chair, smelling the unique fragrance, and looking at the few black necromancers in the wooden box, Adir couldn't help but smile.

Although the few necromantic grasses in front of us are not many, they are enough to make a potion. If we are not too unlucky, we should be able to make a finished product.

He dismissed the messenger and, holding the black box in his hand, turned and walked towards his laboratory.

A short while later, he returned to the familiar laboratory, walked directly to the experimental table, and put down the wooden box in his hand.

In the laboratory, there were many things, all materials that Adir had specially collected. Many of them were the raw materials needed for the Dripping Elixir, and they had already been processed so that Adir didn't need to put in much effort.

After quickly placing the materials on the makeshift testing table and adjusting his own condition, Adir began the refining process.
