Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

See here.

Wayne didn't disturb them, since the Compass of Desire was pointing to this place, or rather, to the man in front of him.

Wayne had asked this question through desire three days ago.

How to make lifespan manifest.

This is Wayne's desire, or rather, his wish. Once he finds it, Wayne can put it in the Infinity Bar and achieve immortality ahead of time, even without reaching level seven immortality.

Aside from the inability to be resurrected, its lifespan is almost identical to that of a level seven True Spirit Wizard.

.........

After half an hour.

The gloomy man suddenly shouted, "I've got it! I've got it!"

"Haha, this is no challenge for me."

Upon hearing this...

Bored, Wayne turned his gaze to the shadowy man.

"how?"

The man stood up, walked up to Wayne, and said directly.

"You'll have to pay more."

"Because it will shorten my lifespan."

Wayne smiled wryly.

"Sure, as long as you can produce what I want, magic crystals are not a problem."

Then he changed the subject.

"Tell me your plan first. After all, I'm not some sucker. I need to see how feasible it is."

The man shrugged.

"Of course, I never lie."

As he spoke, he waved towards the Castle of Arun, and a small magical beast emerged from the bottom gate of the Castle of Arun.

It eventually stopped next to the man.

At this moment, the man spoke up: "Lifespan is invisible and intangible, yet it truly exists."

"Curse magic is the most direct way to make lifespan manifest. On the one hand, it is reflected in the fact that the lifespan of the wizard will be consumed when he uses it, and on the other hand, the lifespan of the person being cursed will also be manifested."

Wayne raised an eyebrow. This was similar to his previous line of thinking, but there was a problem.

Wayne stated frankly.

"I've thought of this method too, but lifespan will only be a direct consumption, rather than being condensed into a shape."

Upon hearing this...

The man was not disappointed; instead, he burst into laughter.

"Haha, I should be the one to earn this money."

He pointed to the magical beast that had moved toward him.

"The many monster corpses in the valley are what I left behind from my experiments. And my research can help in how to condense and manifest lifespan."

The words fell.

Wayne, however, felt somewhat helpless. He knew, of course, that the topics discussed among wizards were not to be pried into.

Therefore, even if Wayne had doubts, he couldn't ask them and could only gesture with his hand.

"Please begin your performance."

The man was not intimidated. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and began to cast spells on the monster in front of him.

As the scattered dark elemental energy began to activate, it eventually began to manifest itself.

A small dark element transformed into a circle, and eventually, all the dark elements in the world began to flow back into this circle.

Athena said softly upon seeing this.

"field."

"I never expected that a level 5 wizard like him could research a domain, and a rare dark element domain at that."

He shook his head again as he spoke.

"No, it's a similar field, but not the real field. It seems that this is the subject of his research."

As Athena continued watching, Wayne looked at the circle covered in dark elements with anticipation.

After all, this dark wizard seems to have some skill.

……

Fifteen minutes later.

As the dark elemental energy dissipated, the scene within the circle appeared before everyone's eyes. The monster from before had now turned into bones.

There were streaks of blood on the white bones.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that two round energy balls, one red and one white, are floating in the hands of the gloomy man.

At that moment, the man's voice rang out.

"It seems I succeeded."

Wayne was a little confused. "What succeeded?"

The man looked at Wayne.

"This is the essence of a magical beast's flesh and blood, as well as its soul and spiritual energy. The soul energy usually dissipates into the world, but I have now condensed it."

"The same applies to lifespan."

Wayne frowned and tossed the top-grade magic crystal over. The man caught it casually and raised an eyebrow.

"This is?"

"I'm genuinely curious about the consultation fees. Of course, you don't have to answer, because I'm asking about something in a similar field."

The man chuckled softly.

"Go ahead and ask. I didn't expect my research topic to be so valuable. It seems I can't sell it for less than this price in the future."

Wayne smiled and then steered the conversation back on track.

"Does your field of expertise possess a kind of absolute restrictive characteristic?"

The man glanced at Wayne in surprise, then shook his head.

"It is not absolute confinement, but a temporary manifestation."

He raised his hand as he spoke.

A black fragment appeared in his hand. "This is a fragment I obtained many years ago. Its characteristic is manifestation, and the pseudo-domain that resembled the previous one was developed based on it."

"As for those monster corpses, they are remnants from my experiments on extracting bloodline inheritance from monsters, so I won't go into details about that."

He then looked at Wayne.

Are you satisfied with the answer?

Wayne glanced at the fragments, then looked away and nodded.

"satisfy."

"Then let's proceed with the procedure. You curse me and manifest my lifespan, at least one year, preferably ten years, and of course, I wouldn't mind a hundred years."

The words fell.

The man rolled his eyes at Wayne. "You may not mind, but I do. I curse you to live a hundred years, but I'll have to spend two hundred."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne gave him a knowing look. "I get it, I get it, it costs extra."

"add!"

The man shook his head.

"Even with more money, it won't work. Ten years at most. Any longer and I'd rather not take this deal. Two hundred years is enough time for me to research so many things."

Wayne spoke again.

"I offer thirty top-grade magic crystals."

Seeing that the man was wavering...

Wayne raised the price here.

"I'll offer fifty top-grade magic crystals!"

Seeing that the man was wavering, Wayne raised the price and put pressure on him.

"I'll offer one hundred top-grade magic crystals, no more than that, otherwise I won't do this deal."

These words were spoken.

The man stood up with a grin.

"Okay, one hundred it is."

At that moment, Lei Shi's voice rang out. "Didn't you say two hundred years would be enough for you to research a lot of things?"

At this moment, the man was in a good mood, so he glanced at Lei Shi and spoke with a big smile.

"That's because there are enough magic crystals."

"With these top-grade magic crystals, I can save two hundred years of not making money and focus on my research."

He then looked at Wayne.

"I never imagined lifespan was so valuable. Once I reach level seven, you can exchange as many as you want."

Wayne rolled his eyes.

"Go away, level seven people are already immortal, who needs this stuff?"

He then steered the conversation back on track.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's begin."

The man nodded.

"Come inside the circle. I am about to cast a curse spell on you."

Wayne nodded.

After descending from the flying formation, everyone landed. As Wayne stepped inside, Athena appeared beside him.

"You wouldn't mind if more people watched, would you?"

The man smiled. This was the client's man; how could he possibly have any objections?

Athena nodded, walked to a distance of a little over a meter from the two of them, and watched quietly.

Wayne sat cross-legged not far from the man. As the familiar dark element appeared, it enveloped them.

Athena took out a luminous pearl to illuminate the area, and then the man took a strand of Wayne's hair and began to cast a curse spell.

As the energy circuit of the curse spell took shape, the man's face turned deathly pale.

At the same time, wisps of dark green life-form energy began to emanate from the man's body.

In an instant.

A small patch of white hair appeared on the man's head. But the man didn't care; instead, he began to gather the lifespan that had manifested within him.

After condensing a small, dark green ball about the size of a thumb, the man turned his gaze to Wayne.
