Wizard Immortal

Chapter 97 Necromancer's Potion

"What would you like to order?"

As I entered the gloomy house, a chilling voice came from beside me.

Hearing the sound, Adir raised his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

There, a figure shrouded in a black robe sat in the corner, wearing a hood that obscured his face, appearing somewhat terrifying in the surrounding darkness.

Adir remained unfazed by his surroundings, his expression unchanged: "Do you buy potions here?"

"what?"

Upon hearing Adir's words, the person in front seemed somewhat surprised: "You're a pharmacist?"

As he spoke, the man stood up, revealing his inner appearance.

It was a woman dressed in a black robe and wearing a hood; her face looked very pale, like a corpse that had been dead for a long time.

As she stood up, a strong stench of decay wafted around her, causing Adir to frown.

"The target emitted high-intensity radiation and had multiple suture marks all over his body, making him 79.4% likely to be a human modification experiment."

The voice of the chip machinery echoed in my mind.

Upon hearing the chip's prompt, Adir frowned inwardly and took a step back without making a sound.

"Bring out the potions you want to sell." The woman in black robes looked at Adir and spoke directly, her voice carrying an undisguised chill.

Hearing what the other person said, Adir didn't speak, but directly opened a package he was carrying, revealing the medicine inside.

These potions were brought by Adir specifically beforehand. Because he dared not sell too many at once, he only brought a few healing potions this time, and did not bring all of them.

"Hmm, all of them are healing potions. That's really good at a time like this."

After glancing at the emerald-green potion, the woman in black robes said directly, "These kinds of potions are selling very well lately. I'll give you nine magic stones per dose, how about that?"

Adir nodded slightly in agreement.

After reaching an agreement on the price, they quickly completed the transaction.

The transaction was over. Adir looked at the woman before him, who was as pale as a corpse: "Excuse me, do you have any potion formulas for sale?"

"Potion formula..."

The woman glanced at Adir and casually asked, "Want the incomplete one?"

"It actually exists?"

Adir looked at the woman with some surprise: "Take a look."

"Wait a moment." The woman turned and walked towards the inner room.

After a while, she came out from inside, holding a thick book in her hand, and then gently opened it.

The moment the book was opened, the atmosphere around us changed instantly, seemingly becoming much colder.

"Such a heavy aura of negative energy!"

Sensing the changes around him, Adir's expression turned serious as he looked at the contents of the book.

"This is... the recipe for the Necromancy potion."

Upon seeing the contents of the potion, Adir glanced thoughtfully at the woman before him, as if making a connection to something.

Necropolis is an extremely famous potion in the history of pharmacology.

Those who drink this potion will undergo a period of transformation, becoming necromancy through negative energy, thereby acquiring some of the characteristics of the undead and gaining a longer lifespan.

This potion is famous because it is one of the few that can greatly extend a wizard's life. Although drinking this potion will make it extremely difficult for a wizard to improve their mental strength due to the transformation of their body into a necromancer, it is still an excellent choice for wizards whose lifespan is about to end.

However, this potion is extremely difficult to make, and the method of making it is extremely cruel, so very few pharmacists are able to make it.

"This is indeed the recipe for the Necromancy potion, but it's incomplete."

Looking at Adir, the woman in black robes sneered: "If it were the complete necromancy potion recipe, I couldn't afford it even if I sold you."

Hearing her words, Adir remained calm and did not refute her.

What the other party said was indeed true. As a high-level potion, the Necromancer's Potion, if it had a complete formula, would be something that an apprentice like him could never afford.

However, if it's a fragmented prescription, there's still a slight possibility.

"How many magic stones?"

He ignored what the other person said and asked directly.

Upon hearing the question, the woman lowered her head and pondered for a moment before quoting a price: "Eight hundred magic stones."

"This is a fixed price, there's no room for negotiation."

Looking at Adir, she added again.

Across from her, hearing the price, Adir couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Strictly speaking, although the price is a bit high, it is still within a reasonable range.

Necromancer's potion is a high-level potion that can prolong life. If the complete formula is available, it wouldn't be surprising if it sold for tens of thousands of magic stones.

Although the document before him was incomplete, Adir glanced at it and found it contained about 60-70% of the complete formula. The knowledge regarding negative energy transformation was quite comprehensive, offering significant reference and learning value. While the price of 800 magic stones was slightly expensive, it wasn't outrageous.

However, Adir currently doesn't have any of the eight hundred magic stones on him.

Although Adir had amassed a large number of magic stones by refining potions while at the academy, he had spent most of them on various potion recipes and spell templates. He only had two hundred magic stones left, which was still a long way from his goal.

"Can we wait a while?"

Adir frowned and asked.

"Of course." The woman nodded. "I live nearby and won't leave unless there's something urgent."

After receiving the reply, Adir's furrowed brows relaxed somewhat, and he then left the shop.

"Including the batch of healing potions I just sold, I now have a total of three hundred magic stones, which is still a long way from eight hundred magic stones."

As Adir walked along the road, he pondered, "If I want to gather enough magic stones in a short time, I'll have to sell all the potions I brought from the academy."

Adir took a batch of potions with him when he left the academy. If he sold all of them, he should be able to barely raise the eight hundred magic stones needed.

However, doing so would nearly deplete Adir's potion reserves. Furthermore, once all his magic stones and potions were exhausted, doing anything else would become very difficult.

"We can only try this first. If it doesn't work, we'll think of other ways."

Standing still, Adir thought to himself.

He walked around for a while, getting familiar with the area, and then found a place to stay nearby.

A few days later, he came here again.

This time, he did not hesitate and went straight to a building deep in the market.

"Sir, what service do you require?"

As I entered, a blonde female apprentice greeted me quickly with a smile.

Adir glanced at her, then asked, "You can auction things here, right?"

"Yes."

Listening to Adir's words, the blonde apprentice maintained her smile and explained to Adir, "In the Duchy of Allen, our Schiller Auction House has the strongest reputation and strength. No matter what you need to auction, we can help you get an ideal price."

"Of course, in return, you will need to pay a handling fee equivalent to 10% of the final auction price."

Looking at Adir, she spoke.

How are auction spell templates calculated?

Looking at the blonde female apprentice in front of him, Adir was too lazy to say anything more and asked directly.

"That depends on what spell template you are auctioning."

Hearing Adir's words, the female apprentice's eyes lit up slightly, and then she said, "You can take out the spell templates you want to auction. You don't need to reveal all the contents, just show us a part of them so that we can understand the approximate power of the spells."

"Our auction house has specialists who can accurately estimate the value of a spell template."

Hearing this, Adir nodded slightly, then took out something.

It was a notebook, still looking quite new, containing notes of things he had prepared specifically for the past few days.

Taking the notebook, the female apprentice opened to the first page, her eyes immediately showing disappointment: "Just basic magic binding?"

Mana Bind is just a level zero spell; the basic template is available in many places, so it's not very valuable.

However, seeing the calm expression on Adir's face, she patiently turned a few more pages.

Immediately, her expression changed slightly: "This unique construction method, along with the complex particle transformation and collision reactions..."

She looked up at Adir, her face serious: "Is this an improved template for the Mana Binding?"

Adir remained calm and nodded slightly.

"Please wait a moment. This level of improvement in spells is beyond my ability to assess its value."

She solemnly returned the notebook to Adir, then quickly went inside.

After a while, she returned, accompanied by an old man in a white robe.

"This is Master Gom, he is the most knowledgeable about spell evaluation in our auction house."

She looked at Adir and took the initiative to introduce him.

"Hello." Adir nodded, indicating that he understood.

He handed the notebook in his hand to the old man in front of him, asking him to examine it.

Soon, the other person's expression changed from calm to serious, and finally gradually turned into excitement.

"My God, what a brilliant idea!"

He looked at Adir and exclaimed, "If I'm not mistaken, this improved Mana Binding is not only twice as powerful as the original template, but it's also much more concealed!"

"What's even more incredible is that, despite such a significant increase in power, the mental energy consumed and the stability of this spell haven't changed much. It's truly unbelievable!!"

The old man in the white robe looked at Adir and exclaimed in amazement, "If this spell template weren't so simple and the knowledge it involves were only within the apprentice's scope, I would almost think it was improved by a powerful, formal wizard."
