Wizard Immortal

Chapter 227 Extraction

In the spacious laboratory, pale blue flames were burning.

On a stone platform in the center of the laboratory, a corpse lies quietly.

It was the corpse of an elven girl, lying there quietly, her flesh and blood beginning to rot, emanating a foul odor, a stench of decay.

Beneath the corpse was a massive witch array, with lines carved on it, and pale blue liquid flowing inside, gradually igniting into pale blue flames.

Standing before the stone platform, Adir's eyes were bloodshot as he silently watched the corpses beginning to rot on the platform.

Seven days had passed since he bought the corpse.

During this time, Adir renovated the laboratory, improving many things inside before starting his experiments.

After seven days, the once beautiful and charming girl's body had begun to decompose, looking quite frightening and completely unlike her former beauty.

This is the effect of the ice coffin thawing. After the crystallization is broken, the body decomposes very quickly. In just seven days, it has already decomposed beyond recognition.

The pale blue liquid in front of him continued to flow. At a certain point, Adir waved his hand, and a wisp of spiritual power activated the witch array carved on the stone platform.

Like pouring oil on a fire, the originally weak pale blue flames suddenly erupted, engulfing the entire stone platform and igniting blue flames several meters high.

The flame was not hot; it was ignited entirely by the pure energy within the magic stone and did not have the temperature of a normal flame.

However, upon contact with the flames on the stone platform, the corpse immediately began to melt, its flesh turning into specks of silvery-gray liquid that dripped onto the platform.

This process lasted a long time, several hours before the flames on the stone platform finally went out completely. The flesh and blood on the corpse had also completely disappeared, leaving only a black and silver skeleton lying quietly on the stone platform.

Looking at the corpse, Adir's gaze shifted to one side of the stone platform, where there was a depression with silvery-gray liquid flowing inside, looking utterly lifeless.

"Is that all?"

Adir tucked the liquid out of the dent and frowned as he looked at the silvery-gray liquid in his hand, which was less than a full bottle.

The silvery-gray liquid in front of them was the essence of flesh and blood extracted from the corpse by Adir using a secret method. It was also the raw material needed to extract blood.

"Forget it, let's take whatever we can get."

With a soft sigh, holding half a bottle of silver-gray flesh and blood essence, Adir walked to the side and began the next step of purification.

The fluctuations of magical power echoed continuously in the laboratory. After all the steps were completed, the original half-bottle of silver-gray liquid had been reduced to less than one-fifth.

The pale silver liquid flowed continuously in the test tube. Even though it had been dead for tens of thousands of years, there was still a trace of activity in its blood, flowing continuously as if it were still alive.

This is the limit of purification that wizards can currently achieve. To continue purifying, they will need the assistance of a chip.

"Chip, activate auxiliary template."

Standing in front of the testing platform, holding the remaining half of the pale silver blood in his hand, Adir gave an order to the chip in his mind.

As the chip's auxiliary template is activated, the field of vision changes instantly. Things that were originally tiny begin to expand, and even the structure of a speck of dust can be seen clearly.

Sensing all of this, Adir poured out the pale silver blood in his hand and began the final purification experiment.

He has done a lot of these purification experiments recently and is already familiar with them.

Several hours later, the pale silver blood that was originally half full began to drain away, leaving only two drops of silver blood in front of Adir.

Compared to the previous blood, these two drops of blood looked extremely pure, and seemed to shimmer with a pale silver light, making them look very beautiful.

This is the ancient moon elf bloodline extracted from this corpse. Even if all the bloodlines in a corpse were extracted, only these two drops could be extracted.

Adir carefully poured the last two drops of purified blood into a specially made small bottle, then breathed a sigh of relief and focused his gaze on the bottle in front of him.

This glass bottle was specially made by Adir. It is not only very sturdy, but it can also prevent the leakage of aura. It is considered a low-level enchanted item.

Inside the transparent glass bottle, a thin layer of silvery liquid flowed through it.

These are the results of Adir's week of hard work.

In a week, besides the corpse of the elven girl in front of him, Adir also purified most of the materials he bought from Jimur, leaving only a few bodies that had not yet been purified.

Unfortunately, it seems that because these corpses had been dead for too long, resulting in severe blood loss, the amount of Moon Elf blood that could be extracted from them was extremely small.

The five corpses, still covered in flesh and blood, were relatively better; each one could yield one or two drops of Moon Elf bloodline. The remains, reduced to bones, were far less valuable, yielding very little.

Adir used most of the materials he bought that time, and now he has only purified such a thin layer. He is still a long way from his goal.

"About one-tenth of it is complete."

Looking at the thin layer of silvery blood inside the glass bottle, Adir muttered to himself.

According to Adir's calculations, to convert into pure ancient moon elf bloodline, the glass bottle in front of him must be filled to the brim; otherwise, only a partial conversion will be possible, and the best effect will not be achieved.

"We're almost out of materials, and we can't count on Jimur for the time being. It seems we can only rely on news from Fred."

Thinking of this, Adir sighed inwardly, carefully put away the glass bottle in his hand, and then walked out.

As he walked outside, a familiar aura wafted from afar, which Adir could clearly sense.

Following the scent, Adir arrived at a hall and saw a familiar figure.

"Fred, you've come."

Looking at the old man sitting in the hall, Adir nodded and greeted him, "Have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just arrived too."

Fred shook his head and looked at Adir to explain.

He was dressed in a clean white robe today, and sat on a wooden chair in the hall. Looking at the weariness faintly appearing on Adir's face, he couldn't help but ask, "It's been about seven or eight days since you last left the lab, hasn't it? How did it go?"

"Not bad, we've at least seen some results."

Adir smiled and said, "However, we're running low on experimental materials, and I was just about to ask you for some information."

"You've already used up all the experimental materials we bought before?"

Hearing Adir's words, Fred was somewhat surprised before saying, "If you want experimental materials, it's impossible with Jimur. The materials you bought before were left over from his storage over several years."

"However, it's possible in other places."

He looked at Adir and said meaningfully.

Hearing his words, Adir straightened up and looked at Fred seriously: "Tell me."

"The trading market in Emerald City has the most complete range of materials in the area, including the Magic Eye Potion that you asked me to inquire about a while ago."

Fred said seriously, "Moreover, there has just been an opportunity recently."

"What opportunity?"

Seeing the expression on the other person's face, Adir subconsciously asked.

"A newly discovered ancient Elven ruin."

Fred began, "It's said to have been discovered several months ago, and there's supposedly a strong magical reaction inside; it should be a large-scale ruin."

"However, although they discovered this ruin, their strength was insufficient, so this time they also invited the surrounding formal wizards to participate in the excavation."

He looked at Adir and smiled, "This is a good opportunity for us. Usually, large elven ruins like these contain many resources that are now extinct, as well as a large number of ancient elven remains."

"Decades ago, someone even unearthed the corpse of a pure-blooded moon elf from a large ruin."

"Is that body still there?"

Hearing what the other person said, Adir subconsciously asked.

For Adir, what he lacks most right now is the corpse of a pure-blooded elf. A single pure-blooded moon elf, if truly pure-blooded, is worth at least as much as Adir purifying hundreds of ordinary corpses, and its significance to him at this moment is self-evident.

"Of course it's impossible for him to stay."

Fred laughed, "The flesh and blood on that moon elf's corpse were long gone; it was just a corpse. There was no way to extract any bloodline from it. In the end, it was divided up by several adults, and it is said that several powerful magical artifacts were made from it."

"What a pity."

Hearing this, Adir sighed softly.

Even if only the skeleton of that moon elf was left, if it were given to him, he could definitely extract a lot of bloodline from it, but now it has been wasted.

"It is indeed a pity."

Across from him, listening to Adir's words, Fred sighed in deep agreement, "The ancient moon elves are born elven kings. According to ancient records, once they reach adulthood, they possess power comparable to a level four wizard. If only a little flesh and blood could remain on the corpses of such terrifying creatures."

"Even just extracting a trace of bloodline would probably be enough to easily elevate someone to a level comparable to a second-level wizard."

Looking at Adir, he sighed, his voice filled with an indescribable emotion.

Sitting quietly opposite him, Adir said nothing about Fred's emotions.

In fact, that's how Fred got the moon elf bloodline flowing through his veins.

More than a thousand years ago, a wizard obtained the corpse of a pure-blooded moon elf and successfully extracted the remaining bloodline from the corpse, grafting it onto his own body.

With the power of the moon elf bloodline, this wizard successfully advanced to the second level wizard, even among the top second level wizards. He eventually came to the region where the Kingdom of Goro was located and established the Kingdom of Goro there.

This wizard was Fred, the ancestor of the entire Gorlos royal family.

This example illustrates that if any moon elf corpse discovered decades ago still had flesh and blood remaining, it could have established a powerful wizarding family, much like the ancestors of the Gorlos royal family.

"So, are you joining this operation?"

After chatting for a while, looking at Adir in front of him, Fred smiled again and said, "As is customary, we can not only take some of the spoils we find in the ruins as a reward, but we can also get the right to purchase them in advance."

This condition suited Adir perfectly, and without much hesitation, he asked directly, "When do we set off?"

"About three months later."

Hearing Adir's words, Fred shrugged: "I'll go with you then."

"I'm really looking forward to the ancient elf ruins."

Adir smiled and said to the other party.

I hope I won't disappoint you.

Fred stood up and looked at Adir: "I will send someone to inform you before we depart."

Adir nodded slightly, then stood up as well, seeing the other person off.

················

Three months later.

One morning, the sunlight shone on the earth, and specks of water mist clung to the crisp leaves, slowly condensing into dew.

Walking through the spacious laboratory, after setting down the last pile of bones, Adir looked at the glass bottle in his hand.

Over the course of three months, through the relationship between Jimur and Fred, Adir also acquired some ancient elf corpses.

The quality of these acquired corpses was generally low; most were those of elven nobles. Although they contained some Moon Elf blood, it was very diluted and far inferior to that of royalty.

However, compared to the rarer and more precious royal family members, the corpses of these elven nobles would undoubtedly be easier to obtain.

Over the course of three months, Adir's gains, accumulated little by little, were quite good, as evidenced by the extra bit of silver blood in the glass bottle before him.

"We've collected one-fifth."

He shook the glass bottle in his hand, and the silver blood inside flowed with the shaking, as beautiful as flowing silver light, but it seemed somewhat lifeless.

This is because the main body of the bloodline has died, and the bloodline has been dormant for too long. To restore its activity, it must go through an activation process.

However, once activated, these bloodlines, which have been painstakingly purified, will exhibit unusual phenomena that are easily detected by other wizards.

After all, this is the bloodline of the ancient moon elves, beings who, upon reaching adulthood, can rival fourth-level wizards.

Even a single drop of blood from such a being is extremely precious, let alone the bloodline left behind. Once activated, it will inevitably exude a powerful aura.

With this in mind, and to avoid certain troubles, Adir has temporarily refrained from dealing with these bloodlines that have fallen into stagnation.

After leaving the laboratory, Adir took off his white robe and put on a well-fitting black robe before heading outside.

On a flat area within the manor, a very luxurious-looking carriage was parked, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.

P.S.: Some readers complained about the price of corpses in the first two chapters, so I've revised it. Also, in the Emerald World, one unit of magic crystal can be exchanged for one hundred high-grade magic stones, and one unit of high-grade magic stone is equivalent to one hundred magic stones. Therefore, one unit of magic crystal equals ten thousand magic stones, which is correct.
