Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Strengthening Wuni

Synthetic Beasts were an ancient craft, in the old Dark Age, they had become a taboo technique for some Wizards to create slaves.

During the Enlightenment period, this ancient craft had received ample development due to wars, and masses of Synthetic Beasts were thrown into the Wizard wars.

Now, in this era of exploration, Synthetic Beasts had already become a necessary piece of knowledge for every Academy to master.

Creating a Synthetic Beast involved three steps: first, cultivating a Synthetic Beast Core, second, preparing active Flesh and various limb parts, and third, using an Alchemy Array to assemble these components together.

Richard had once tried creating a Synthetic Beast but unfortunately, he simply lacked the Talent for it, and the best he could do was copy the things from the books without any original thought.

But that was enough for Richard.

In the laboratory, Richard, wearing a magnifying glass, was incessantly inscribing Runes on a black stone platform with a feather pen.

Producing Synthetic Beasts required an Alchemy Array, and enhancing Synthetic Beasts required one as well.

After completing the inscriptions of three thousand seven hundred and fifty Runes, Richard let out a slight sigh of relief.

Inscribing Runes was not an easy task, constantly channeling Magic Power into the feather pen with the use of Alchemy ink was necessary, and this process had to be maintained steady, for any fluctuation in Magic Power would cause the feather pen to explode violently. If unlucky, even the stone platform would be damaged, leading to its replacement.

“The Alchemy Array is complete, next is the operation.”

A year and a half had passed since Richard last took on a task, in which time those Flesh Tentacles had produced fifteen hundred grams of high-quality active Flesh for Richard. This Flesh was extremely resilient, and according to the rating of the Wizard Commerce, it had reached Third Level in activity, worth ten Magic Stones per gram.

Richard pulled out a transparent quartz tube from his Magic Pocket, which contained a piece of Flesh that was twisting and pulsating.

“Wuni.”

Richard softly called out, and a black crow flew over from one side of the laboratory.

“This Flesh could fetch fifteen thousand Magic Stones out there, and I’ve spent a small fortune to enhance you, so you better perform well.”

Richard muttered as he placed Wuni on the testing platform, then he took an anesthetic and injected it into its body.

Once the anesthetic took effect, Richard moved the collapsed Wuni to the dissection table and donned a pair of low-light vision goggles.

Jolod’s mastered techniques did not include shadowless lamps, so Richard had to use these low-light vision goggles to negate the effects of shadows.

With Wuni’s limbs secured, Richard took out a razor to remove the feathers from its spine, and then with a scalpel, he cleanly sliced open its back skin.

Observing the fresh red blood, the quivering muscles, Richard calmly watched all of this, then opened the tube holding the active Flesh and directly used his hands to take it out. @@novelbin@@

The active Flesh had parasitic properties, they would bond with any Flesh they contacted, becoming a part of the organism’s body spontaneously. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Wizards would not make direct contact with active Flesh.

But Richard was an exception.

No sooner had the Flesh parasitism been completed, Richard, through the ability of Flesh Control, took control of it.

Under Richard’s manipulation, this active Flesh began to enter Wuni’s body through the wound and attach to the muscles. This active Flesh would strengthen Wuni’s physique and enhance its Life Recovery Ability.

Under normal circumstances, implanting active flesh is a long and tedious process because the spread of active flesh lacks regularity, requiring the Wizard himself to segment it and then place it into various muscle groups.

But Richard had the sticky skill of Flesh Control. With just one wound, Richard could direct the active flesh to where he wanted to strengthen.

After the active flesh was successfully parasitized, Richard did not rush to separate it from his body; instead, he took out a white bone fragment engraved with runes from his pocket.

“With One Ring Spell of Light Distortion combined with Jolod’s body of black fur, once he enters the forest, he’s definitely an excellent scout,” Richard looked proudly at the metal, which was an idea he had while implanting the Magic Gun.

The One Ring Spell of Light Distortion could create a faint invisibility effect, and in the shadows, there was hardly any difference from a Three Rings Invisibility Technique.

Richard never intended to use Jolod for frontal attacks; stealth and reconnaissance were where Jolod’s talents lay.

He inserted the spell plugin into the wound and then used Flesh Control to fix it in place. The delicate flesh threads followed the fine pores on the bone fragment, firmly anchoring it onto Jolod’s body.

Having completed all this, Richard used a surgical scalpel to separate the active flesh from himself, then stitched up the wound and placed it onto the freshly made alchemy platform.

With the infusion of magic power, the Alchemy Array began to promote Jolod’s body to assimilate the active flesh, a lengthy and the most dangerous process.

Assimilating active flesh had a certain chance of failure; at best, the active flesh could become necrotic and lose its vitality, and at worst, the active flesh could become violent, turn against its host, and engulf the body, becoming an existence similar to cancer cells.

Richard locked the laboratory door and hung a Do Not Disturb sign on it.

Jolod’s matter was settled for now.

Back in his bedroom, Richard casually picked up a book titled “Introductory to Alchemy Mechanical Science” and began studying.

Alchemy machinery is one of the most widely applied branches of the Alchemy School, ranging from the small Magic Airship that Richard rode to the massive Floating Cities used by the Wizard World for external warfare, all masterpieces of Alchemy Mechanical Science.

But Jolod didn’t have many books on Alchemy Mechanical Science.

As a Wizard researching Synthetic Beasts, Jolod was naturally at odds with Alchemy Machinery.

It was like the difference between genetic ascension and mechanical ascension: one school believed that the living body was flexible and reliable, the most perfect work of nature; the other believed that machinery was solid and had a strong carrying capacity, the direction of future evolution.

These two viewpoints contained fundamentally irreconcilable elements.

But to Jolod’s frustration, aside from Chax, neither Anna nor Richard had talent in the field of Synthetic Beasts; in fact, Anna showed an exceptional talent for Alchemy Machinery. To not waste Anna’s talent, he had to grudgingly tolerate Anna learning Alchemy Machinery.

As a teacher, the professional ethics of Jolod were quite reliable.

Alchemy Mechanical Science gave Richard a great deal of inspiration, especially when he saw a certain Alchemy Wizard mention in the book that the essence of the Ice Cone Skill was physical damage and suggest a solution very similar to the Magic Gun, Richard even felt a sense of finding kindred spirits in a foreign land.

Unfortunately, Jolod’s books on Alchemy Machinery were too few, and Richard’s time was also very tight. To make significant progress in Alchemy Machinery, he would have to wait until he became a Wizard.

“Becoming a Wizard… that depends on the exchange competition in half a year.

Winning the competition would mean becoming a Wizard ten years ahead of time!”
