Wizard Immortal

Chapter 229 Water of Life

On the silent four-story building, gazing at the skeleton before him, Adir's mind raced with many thoughts, and he stood there speechless for a moment.

Beside him, observing Adir's expression, the middle-aged man who was providing the explanation waited patiently for a moment before speaking, "Lord Adir, are you satisfied with these materials?"

He watched Adir's movements carefully and asked the question very cautiously.

Wizards are a group of eccentric and solitary individuals who possess immense power. Offending them carelessly could result in a curse that kills someone, leaving no room for carelessness.

Standing still, Adir came to his senses and looked at the cautious look on the middle-aged man's face beside him. He felt somewhat relieved and then said, "It's alright, I'm very satisfied. Bring all these materials over for me."

"Lord Adir, do you mean... send them all to you?"

Hearing Adir's words, the middle-aged man almost thought he was hallucinating, and asked in a daze to confirm.

"Um?"

Adir turned to look at him, his gaze, almost tangible, pressing down on the other man and putting considerable pressure on him: "Is there a problem?"

"No, no, no, of course there's no problem."

The middle-aged man smiled broadly, then said somewhat awkwardly, "It's just that regarding the price..."

"Just calculate it directly; it'll be the number of magic stones it should be."

Hearing what the other person said, Adir had no intention of discussing it with them. He simply waved his hand and walked away.

Down on the ground floor, at the counter, Kumu was still sitting there, holding a wine glass, looking at the scenery outside, looking quite content.

"There are a total of seventy-three magic crystals... but before the materials are delivered, you only need to pay a deposit of ten magic crystals."

Beside him, watching Adir's figure, the middle-aged man smiled broadly at Adir, but his eyes held a hint of unease.

He wasn't afraid that Adir wouldn't pay. Being able to open such a shop in Emerald City clearly meant he had powerful backers and wouldn't be afraid of a formal wizard.

But he was different; he was just an ordinary mortal. If Adir got angry, even if he killed him here, he would at most be fined some magic stones, and there would be no other punishment.

Fortunately, Adir's expression did not change in the face of this price. He readily took out a money pouch from his pocket and took out some of the magic crystals inside.

After paying the deposit, Adir left an address and then walked out.

It was still afternoon, and the sun outside was quite warm. Led by Kumu, Adir strolled around the unfamiliar city for a while before heading towards his residence.

For the next two weeks, apart from occasionally going out to replenish materials, Adir did not leave his home and instead stayed at home doing his own thing.

The manor where Adir lived had always been used to entertain wizards, and it had complete laboratories and facilities for bloodline experiments, which saved Adir a lot of effort.

In just half a month, Adir had almost bought up all the best materials in Emerald City.

Even though Emerald City was the most prosperous trading city in the region, his frenzied purchasing led to a shortage of various raw materials used for bloodline experiments, and the price of the corpses of the ancient elven royal family rose several times in a short period of time.

Besides this incident, Adir did something else that shocked Emerald City.

He took out several portions of the purified potion he had refined and put them up for auction at the largest auction house in Emerald City. Not only did they sell for an astronomical price, but they also made Adir stand at the pinnacle of Emerald City.

According to an expert in Emerald City, this new purification potion has no effect on wizards who have reached the metamorphosis stage, but it has excellent effects on formal wizards who have not yet reached the metamorphosis stage, and is comparable to several similar resources currently available in the Emerald World.

Following that auction, several formal wizards took notice and subsequently inquired frequently about the wizard Adir.

While everyone else was paying attention to the emergence of the purified medicine, Adir remained alone in the dimly lit laboratory.

In the dimly lit laboratory, a faint, pale blue light flickered, accompanied by the dancing and leaping of energy particles.

Standing in front of the experimental table, Adir's eyes were bloodshot as he quietly performed the experiment before him.

Before him were several white skeletons, but they were now covered in cracks, as if they could crumble into dust at any moment.

On the experimental table to the side, a glass bottle sat quietly, its silvery blood almost overflowing.

"It's a success..."

After dripping the last few drops of silver blood into the glass bottle, Adir closed the bottle on the wooden table, then let out a long sigh, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhaustion wash over him.

To be honest, he had never been this tired since he was reborn into this world.

For half a month straight, they conducted high-intensity purification experiments without sleep, which took an extraordinary toll on their mental and physical strength. Even a formal wizard would feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, looking at the bottle of silver blood in front of him, Adir was still extremely excited.

For half a month, he used up at least hundreds of materials to extract this pure Moon Elf bloodline.

Having obtained this bloodline, he had already achieved his goal of coming to the Emerald World. All he needed to do next was activate this bloodline and graft it onto himself to completely transform himself into an ancient bloodline.

For this purpose, no matter how much effort has been put in, it is all worthwhile.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Subconsciously looking in the direction from which the sound came, Adir carefully put away the glass bottle in his hand before walking out and opening the laboratory door.

Upon opening the door, standing outside was an old man dressed in a moon-colored robe and wearing a pale green tall hat—it was Fred.

"Adir, what happened to you?"

Seeing Adir's current appearance, Fred was somewhat surprised, then seemed to realize something and turned to look into the laboratory.

"Fred, is it time?"

Adir looked at Fred and asked, his tone tinged with doubt.

"The time hasn't come yet, but several people have already come for you."

Fred smiled wryly, "Now your reputation as a master potion maker is well-known in Emerald City."

"Who are these people?" Adir asked casually.

"Several wizarding families, and representatives from Emerald City."

Looking at Adir, Fred spoke.

His mood was somewhat complicated as he spoke.

Although he initially intended to win over Adir, he originally only thought of him as a talented wizard with moon elf blood.

During his time in the Kingdom of Gaura, when Adir sold potions and revealed his identity as a pharmacist, he thought he had struck gold. He never expected that he would become a master pharmacist, and that the Emerald City, which dominates this region, would take him so seriously and send people to inquire about him several times.

"Once we get back, we'll have to intensify our efforts to win them over."

Looking at Adir, he thought to himself.

Standing in front of Fred, looking at the expression on Fred's face, and thinking about the limelight he had been making recently, Adir sighed.

The reason he chose to throw out the purification potion made from magic crystals was entirely to earn magic stones to support the completion of his purification experiments.

After all, the cost of materials from hundreds of royal corpses with rich bloodlines was too high even for Adir to afford, and the expenses of the entire experiment would be staggering if word got out.

Spreading the news about the purification potion was a bit risky, but Adir's purpose in coming to the Emerald World was to make up for his missing bloodline. Now that the Moon Elf bloodline had been extracted, his goal had been achieved. Even if he encountered danger later, with his time-traveling ability, he could simply leave. Could these people from the Emerald World possibly chase him all the way to the Wizarding World?

Moreover, although the purification potion is inexpensive to make, requiring only magic crystals as the main ingredient and some common materials, Adir wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal this information.

Through Fred and his wizards, in addition to acquiring the corpses of ancient elves, he also spread rumors that he was buying up the Water of Life on a large scale, and subtly revealed that the Water of Life was the main ingredient for purification potions.

Compared to the cheap magic crystals of the Jade World, the Water of Life is far more precious and rare.

Purification potions made primarily from the Water of Life, while perhaps not as costly as other resources in the Jade World that enhance spiritual purification, are not far off, which should deter many people from coveting them.

After greeting Fred, Adir went to a room next door and changed his clothes.

He changed into a black outfit and, with the help of a maid, carefully groomed himself. He looked noticeably neater than when he left the laboratory before walking out into the hall used for welcoming guests.

Inside the hall, several people were already waiting, and the one in the lead was none other than Kumu, representing Emerald City.

"Adir, it's been a long time."

Kumu, dressed in green, looked very energetic. When he saw Adir approaching, he quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"It's been almost half a month since I last saw you."

Adir smiled and said, then sat down on the wooden chair, looking at the three people in front of him: "What brings you here, gentlemen?"

Hearing his words, behind Kumu, an old man in a white robe and another middle-aged man dressed in formal attire, looking like a nobleman, exchanged a glance, and finally looked at Kumu in unison, clearly wanting him to speak.

As the representative of Emerald City, Kumu held the highest status among the three, and he had also received Adir half a month ago, so he had some connections with Adir and was undoubtedly the best person to speak.

Feeling the two gazes behind him, Kumu was clearly aware of this as well. Looking at Adir in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "Since you asked, I'll just tell you the truth."

"Adir, do you have any more purification potions?"

He looked at Adir, his expression gradually becoming serious, and said this.

Seemingly anticipating his question, Adir looked at Kumu in front of him without changing his expression. He simply took out a bottle of golden potion and placed it on the wooden table.

Inside the transparent glass bottle, a golden potion was contained within the liquid, with dark golden threads constantly floating and sinking within it, creating a beautiful sight.

Upon seeing the bottle of golden potion on the wooden table, Kumu and his companions were immediately drawn to it, their eyes involuntarily fixed on the potion before them.

Under their watchful eyes, Adir reached out and gently opened the vial.

A faint, refreshing fragrance wafts out, carrying with it the surging and fluctuating energy particles.

Just by smelling this unique fragrance, the three formal wizards present all felt their magical power fluctuate and their mental energy begin to react.

"This is..."

Looking at the bottle of purification potion before him, and smelling its unique fragrance, the old man in the white robe behind Kumu looked intoxicated, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

"Yes, this is the purification agent."

Seeing the expression on the other person's face, Adir smiled and then closed the potion bottle.

The unique fragrance vanished instantly, and the three formal wizards' gazes fell on Adir once more, their eyes filled with inquiry.

"To be honest, I still have a few doses of this purification agent on me, but not many left."

Looking at the three formal wizards before him, Adir said calmly, "Although I have mastered the formula for this potion, I do not have enough materials. These few purification potions are all the resources I have."

Hearing his words, Kumu and the other two exchanged a knowing glance, their eyes flashing with understanding.

"I wonder what materials you're still lacking, Adir?"

Kumu smiled and said, "We in Emerald City are still quite confident about the materials. As long as those materials haven't completely disappeared, we believe we can get some of them."

After saying this, he looked at Adir, clearly waiting for his answer.

Under the other person's gaze, Adir remained calm and directly said, "The Water of Life."

"The water of life?"

Upon hearing this answer, the wizard opposite was stunned, while only Kumu's eyes flashed with understanding.

As the most powerful city in Emerald City, he was obviously aware of Adir's secret acquisition of the Water of Life during this period, and had long guessed Adir's purpose.

Although he had his own guesses, he still felt a little emotional when he confirmed the answer.

Behind him, the other two formal wizards exchanged a glance, both showing surprise in their eyes.

In fact, while the cost of purification potions made primarily from the Water of Life cannot compare to that of magic crystals, it is still significantly cheaper than other resources in the Emerald World that can enhance the purification of spiritual power.
