Cultivating in the Wizard World

Chapter 680: Chapter 579: Elixir of Immortality

Jeming stood in front of the laboratory bench, with dozens of research notes spread out before him.

This was the result of an entire month of systematically sorting through his gains from the Information Plane.

"For now, the harvest from the last Plane War has been more or less organized..."

Jeming counted the notes, a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.

During this period, he had categorized and stored over five hundred entropy brains, practiced the execution process of the Annihilation form over a hundred times, and organized the manufacturing process of the Tier Four Talisman Witchcraft into a standard procedure, handing it over to the Black Giant Priests for mass production.

Everything had gone smoothly.

However, once he had some leisure time, Jeming discovered something else he hadn’t noticed before:

His Alchemy was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Jeming closed his eyes, sensing the Ring of Truth deep within his Sea of Spirit.

Back when he advanced to Official Wizard, the three core witchcraft he relied on to construct the Ring of Truth were taken from the most basic three major schools: Alchemy’s Alchemy, Rune Science’s Deciphering Skill, and Magic Potion’s Extraction Technique.

At that time, Jeming was ambitious, attempting to grasp all three major schools of Wizard basics.

But as he delved deeper into his studies, he realized just how laughable his initial ideas had been.

Nevertheless, this didn’t mean Jeming gave up studying these three major schools.

As his primary discipline, Alchemy continued to upgrade, even reaching the level where it could synthesize simple organic matter and influence the Soul within a certain limit.

Later, he used Deciphering Skill as the main body, combined with Alchemy and Extraction Technique, to elevate a new witchcraft—All-Purpose Eye.

That became his most important auxiliary method.

And now, he could clearly feel that, supported by the Fate System, Alchemy had finally touched the edge of a breakthrough.

The feeling was quite peculiar; when Jeming used Alchemy, he could clearly feel that he still had surplus strength, but just couldn’t delve further.

"Just a little bit more..."

Jeming opened his eyes, furrowing his brows slightly.

Under normal circumstances, an ordinary Alchemy Wizard must reach the level of a High Tier Wizard—above Sixth Level—to master the pinnacle of Alchemy.

The hallmark of that level is: the ability to easily create complete life forms and Souls.

Creating Life from nothingness.

That is one of Alchemy’s ultimate realms.

Jeming’s current calculation power, with the assistance of the Fate System, had already reached the standard of a Sixth Level Wizard.

Logically, he should have the capability to touch that tier.

But when actually attempting, it always felt like falling short.

"It’s a deficiency in my knowledge."

He quickly made a judgment.

The calculation power was sufficient, and the experience was enough, yet the relevant knowledge reserve was still lacking.

Alchemy is different from other disciplines; it is too vast and complex.

Material Transformation, Energy Balance, Life Construction, Soul Origin... each branch requires a vast amount of knowledge to support.

Although his gains from the Information Plane were abundant, they mainly concentrated on the fields of "entropy reduction" and "information manipulation."

The knowledge needed for Alchemy, he still had to supplement.

"So what should I learn next?"

Jeming paced within the laboratory, quickly scanning the weak spots in his knowledge system.

A moment later, he stopped in his tracks.

"Longevity Potion."

Longevity Potion, one of the most classic, ancient, and complex potions in Wizard Civilization.

Its effect is simple: to fix the state of the body and Soul, and even, to a certain extent, rejuvenate them.

For Wizards, life span has never been a big issue.

A First Level Official Wizard has a life span between one thousand to one thousand five hundred years.

With an increase in level, life span will continuously extend. For High Tier Wizards, living ten thousand years isn’t an issue.

But compared to Cultivators, they fall far short.

In the Cultivation Immortality System, the Golden Core Stage already achieves physical immortality, and the Nascent Soul Stage possesses infinite longevity.

That realm of "living as long as heaven and earth" is unimaginable for Wizards.

But Wizards aren’t troubled by life span, either.

Those proficient in bioengineering can modify their bodies, extending life span by replacing aging organs or transforming the entire body into elemental or mechanical form.

And those who dislike modifying their bodies, or aren’t adept at biochemical technology, will choose the Longevity Potion.

Taking it once every thousand years keeps the body and Soul at their peak.

If significant damage is encountered, taking another supplement will suffice.

For many Alchemy Wizards above the Sixth Level, refining the Longevity Potion is their most important source of income.

"Affecting both the body and Soul, the refining technique of the Longevity Potion fits my current needs..."

The refining of the Longevity Potion simultaneously involves knowledge of both body and Soul.

The structure of the body, cell division, solidification of the Soul, stability of the Sea of Spirit... these are precisely the parts most lacking in his current Alchemy knowledge system.

If he could learn to refine the Longevity Potion, it would not only cover the shortcoming in his Alchemy but also provide another lucrative skill.

Achieving two goals with one move.

Jeming no longer hesitated, raised his hand to click the Magic Network Terminal, and entered the internal trading platform of the Expeditionary Army.

Searching for "Longevity Potion refining knowledge."

The results popped up instantly.

[Longevity Potion Refining Guide (Basic Version) — Price: 8 million Low Level Military Merits]

[Longevity Potion Advanced Tutorial (Including Failure Case Analysis) — Price: 15 million Low Level Military Merits]

[Longevity Potion Ingredient Identification and Procurement Guide — Price: 3 million Low Level Military Merits]

[Experiences of a Tier Six Alchemist in Longevity Potion Refining (Handwritten Manuscript) — Price: 50 million Low Level Military Merits]

[Complete Longevity Potion Refining Knowledge Package (including extra gifts) — Price: 100 million Low Level Military Merits]

Jeming twitched the corner of his mouth.

It’s not that the price is too high, but rather it’s a bit too low.

This level of High Tier technology would normally only be purchasable with High Level Military Merits.

But now, it could be bought with Low Level Military Merits, and the prices are so cheap...

It seems the predecessor Wizards indeed have exploited all aspects of profit from Longevity Potions to the limits, but this suits Jeming’s intentions, as such mature technology means its corresponding prerequisite disciplines are well-prepared.

"Alright, I take back what I said earlier. It seems expecting to make money from this in the short term is unlikely..."

Fortunately, Jeming wasn’t short on Low Level Military Merits either.

Buy!

He clicked on "Complete Longevity Potion Refining Knowledge Package" and made the payment.

[Payment Successful]

[Deducted Low Level Military Merits: 100,000,000]

[Remaining Low Level Military Merits: ...]

Jeming glanced at the number, then immediately closed the interface.

The knowledge package was quickly transmitted over.

A flood of data surged into his Magic Network Terminal, and just the directory alone displayed several hundred pages.

Jeming casually opened one titled "Longevity Potion Ingredient Overview," and the screen was instantly filled with dense text and images.

"This stuff, will keep me busy learning for a while."

He chuckled, beginning to delve into the study.
