Wizard Immortal

Chapter 212 Drug Use

bump!bump!bump!

A series of knocks sounded on the door.

"Please come in." A cold, somewhat hoarse voice came from inside the house.

Upon hearing the sound, Adir pushed open the door and went inside.

This is a very spacious living room. In the living room, a middle-aged man who looks very thin is wearing a red robe and is sitting on a wooden chair with a book in his hand.

"Lord Anthony."

Looking at the middle-aged wizard in the hall, Adir spoke respectfully.

"Hmm? What do you need me for?"

Anthony looked up at Adir, his tone somewhat impatient.

"Lord Korula asked me to give you his regards."

Adir's respectful expression remained unchanged as he quietly spoke.

Under his gaze, upon hearing Corula's name, Anthony's expression remained unchanged, only the arm holding the book trembled slightly.

After a moment of silence, Anthony spoke again, his tone calm: "This name sounds unfamiliar; perhaps it's an alias."

He looked up at Adir: "What can prove it?"

"certainly."

Adir raised his arm, channeling his magic into a black ring on his hand in a unique way.

A unique mental frequency suddenly spread out. Although it was very weak, it was definitely there and was easily captured by the two formal wizards present.

This was a wisp of spiritual energy that Korula had left in the ring. It could only be activated through a unique method and was specifically given to Adir to prove his identity.

Sensing this unique mental fluctuation, Anthony finally nodded: "Come with me."

He put down his book, glanced at Adir beside him, and then walked directly into a room that resembled a hall.

"Force field fluctuation detected..." As Adir entered the room, the voice of the chip machine rang in his mind again.

"Did Krulla say anything?"

Upon entering the room, Anthony looked at Adir beside him and asked, "Don't worry, I specially arranged this room. There are magic arrays around it to isolate the aura, so there's no need to worry about leaks."

"Lord Korula sent me to find you."

Looking at Anthony, Adir said, "As for the rest, Lord Corula said that you, Lord Anthony, will make the arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Anthony nodded indifferently: "What is your position?"

"I'm responsible for refining some potions," Adir replied earnestly.

"Not attracting attention is very good."

Anthony said, "You can leave now. Try not to come here unless it's absolutely necessary. If there's any news, I'll let you know."

"Yes."

Adir nodded slightly, but his expression showed some hesitation.

"Is there anything else?"

Seeing Adir's appearance, Anthony took the initiative to speak.

"Lord Anthony, I'd like to know where I can obtain enough magic crystals?"

When Anthony asked the question, Adir finally smiled.

"Magic crystals? How many do you want?"

Hearing this question, Anthony wasn't surprised and casually replied.

"The more the better, and if possible, it would be best to get several hundred dollars."

Adir smiled and, while speaking, took out a bottle of medicine that had been prepared beforehand.

On the other side, upon hearing Adir's words, Anthony's lips twitched. Before he could say anything, his gaze was drawn to the potion Adir had produced: "This is..."

His gaze turned serious as he looked at the bottle of medicine, as if he had guessed something.

"This is a purification potion I just concocted," Adir said, offering to speak up. "In fact, that's why I asked you to help me search for magic crystals."

"You've hidden it quite well."

Anthony gave Adir a deep look, feeling somewhat surprised, but his face remained impassive, appearing quite calm. However, he held Adir in even higher regard in his heart.

The ability to refine high-level potions like purification potions is a skill that only a very few elite pharmacists or even master pharmacists can achieve. Even within the Emerald Hand, there are fewer than ten pharmacists who can do this, and each of them is a renowned pharmacist.

What is the success rate of refining it?

After glancing at the potion in Adir's hand and considering for a moment, Anthony asked again.

"If I have enough materials, I'm confident that I can produce one finished product for every twelve portions of materials."

After considering it for a while, Adir finally came up with this number.

A one-fifth success rate was too alarming for Adir to reveal directly. Before coming here, Adir had researched the data and found that some elite apothecaries had a success rate of about one in fifteen when refining purification potions, and only a very few master apothecaries could maintain a success rate of one in ten.

A one in twelve chance is just right—not too shocking, but also leaving room for others to maneuver.

Sure enough, upon hearing Adir's answer, Anthony nodded in satisfaction before speaking, "Thirteen sets of materials, one finished product, and the extra set of materials will be your payment, how about it?"

"Thank you, sir."

Upon hearing Anthony's reply, Adir's face immediately lit up with a smile, looking quite satisfied.

Thirteen materials, if handed over to Adir, could be used to refine two or three finished products, but he only needs to hand over one finished product, which would be a huge profit for him.

On the other hand, Anthony was also very satisfied with the trade.

Exchanging thirteen materials for one finished product may seem like a small profit, but that's not actually the case.

Purification potions are, after all, high-level potions that can help improve mental purification, and their value is enormous. Under normal circumstances, they are very difficult to buy without special channels.

Even if the Emerald Hand has enough apothecaries, such extremely precious high-grade potions are still supplied in limited quantities. The price of 800 black coins that Adir had previously inquired about was actually an internal price, and given Adir's status, he was only allowed to purchase one bottle within three years.

Besides the Emerald Hand, there are plenty of other qualified wizards, and even if you wanted to buy purification potions, there's nowhere to buy them.

Anthony only needs to resell the potion, and under normal circumstances, the profit he can obtain will definitely be much greater than that of Adir.

Both sides were quite satisfied with the trade, and even Anthony's gaze towards Adir became much more affectionate.

After chatting for a while, Adir walked out of the hall and came outside.

"Next, it's time to keep taking drugs."

Looking at the wooden house behind him, Adir thought to himself.

Anthony acted quickly, and by evening, the first batch of materials had been delivered.

More than twenty sets of refining materials were currently on display in Adir's laboratory. And this was only the first batch; more materials would be delivered once Adir produced the finished product.

"To be able to mobilize so many materials in such a short time, it seems that the Emerald Hand has been infiltrated quite by the Black Wizard Alliance."

As Adir looked at the materials on the test bench, this thought flashed through his mind.

However, these things are none of his concern.

A pale blue flame quickly rose, and the aura of energy particles continued to rise, announcing the start of this refining process.

In the following period, Adir's life became monotonous again. Apart from normal communication, he spent most of his time in the laboratory, seemingly no different from before.

Soon, more than two months had passed.

「姓名:阿帝尔.法库斯。力量：22.8。敏捷：23.5。体质：22.7。精神：28.7。精神力纯化度：27.8%。」

Before my eyes, the familiar attribute panel reappeared, and the data had improved significantly compared to three months ago.

While there wasn't much improvement in physical and mental strength, there was an almost explosive increase in purification level.

This was achieved by forcefully accumulating purification potions. During this period, Adir drank a bottle of purification potion almost every day. After drinking a total of seventy or eighty bottles, his mental energy purification level was forcibly increased to its current level.

With a casual wave of his hand, a tangible spiritual force instantly extended outwards.

Standing in the courtyard, he extended his mental energy, and everything around him seemed to change. Every sound came accurately and was captured by Adir's mental energy.

This is a change brought about by the improvement of spiritual purification. Although the total amount of spiritual power has not changed much, the same amount of spiritual power can do more things.

In Adir's mental sea, the originally transparent mental energy began to change, seemingly becoming more solid, looking like a somewhat transparent stream of water flowing continuously in his mental sea.

"The same spell is now at least twice as powerful as before."

Standing still, feeling the changes in his body, Adir calmly analyzed the situation.

"Chip, establish the mission, analyze the conditions required to reach the metamorphosis stage." After a while, he gave the order to the chip in his mind.

"Analysis complete. Requirements for advancing to the Transformation Stage: Total mental energy reaches 30, mental energy purification level reaches 50% or higher..."

"Purification level reaches over 50%..."

Hearing the conditions given by the chip, Adir sighed, "There's still a long way to go."

During this period, he took drugs like crazy, which quickly increased the purity of his mental energy in a short time, but it also caused a problem.

Because he had taken the purification agent too many times, his body had developed a resistance to it. Now, no matter how many times he took the purification agent, it wouldn't have much effect.

"That makes sense when you think about it. If people could reach the Transformation stage just by taking drugs, then Transformation stage wizards wouldn't be as rare as they are now."

Adir shook his head slightly and muttered to himself.

In the Maison region, a Level 1 Metamorphosis Wizard is already an absolute backbone, enough to hold a high-ranking position even in a large organization like the Emerald Hand, far surpassing ordinary formal wizards.

Many pharmacists who can refine purification potions have not yet reached the Transformation stage, which shows how difficult this level is.

"The purification potion has lost its effect, and the Moon Goddess Festival has not made any progress. It seems that there is no way to break through this barrier in the short term."

Recalling the situation before him, Adir thought to himself.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Adir turned and walked outside, just in time to see a middle-aged wizard in a black robe standing there, his face looking very indifferent.

This was a robust, middle-aged wizard with pure black hair and a very strong physique, seemingly possessing some highland ancestry.

"Green, what's wrong?"

Looking at the black-robed wizard, Adir remained calm and spoke directly.

The wizard in front of him was someone Adir had met recently. Like him, he was a member of the Black Wizarding Alliance's infiltrator in the Emerald Hand, and during this time he was specifically responsible for transporting the materials needed for the purification potion.

"A message has arrived."

Glancing at Adir, Green's expression remained indifferent as he simply said, "Lord Anthony has instructed you to be careful during this time and to be prepared."

After saying this, he glanced at Adir again, then turned and walked away into the distance.

Behind him, listening to the news he brought, Adir fell silent.

"Has this day finally come?"

Standing there, watching Green's departing figure, Adir thought to himself.

When the agreement was signed with the Dark Wizards Alliance, the first task they assigned was for Adir to come to the Emerald Hand and find Anthony to carry out a special mission together.

Judging from the current situation, it's clear that the day of action is not far off.

After thinking for a while, Adir finally walked outside.

He walked all the way to a large hall and finally learned about a recent news event.

"The Dark Wizarding Alliance is set to begin negotiations with the Emerald Hand in two weeks?"

As he walked down the street, upon hearing the news, Adir subconsciously frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

According to the information we've gathered, this negotiation was initiated by the Black Wizard Alliance, and its purpose seems to be to negotiate and form an alliance with the Emerald Hand.

However, judging from the fact that Anthony specifically sent someone to inform us, something is likely to happen at this negotiation meeting.

"These are turbulent times."

Thinking of this, Adir sighed and then turned to leave.

The negotiations are still about two weeks away, so we can use this time to prepare some things.

It wasn't until several days later, one night, that Adir went out again, heading towards a certain place.

We came to a plain, where there were some abandoned wooden houses that looked very old and dilapidated.

Wow! Wow!

The cawing of crows echoed all around, accompanied by some strange noise.

On a large tree ahead, a huge raven was perched on a branch, its scarlet eyes fixed on Adir.

Ignoring the crow's gaze, Adir remained calm and walked quickly forward.

A moment later, he walked to the small wooden house and gently pushed it with his arm.

With a creak, the old, dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, revealing the scene inside.

In the dim light, figures dressed in black robes and wearing hoods stood silently all around, exuding a dangerous aura.
