Bloodline Potion

This sudden little interruption brought the team's discussion to a standstill.

But soon, everyone began discussing the feasibility of Nia's choice.

"All the royalty on the Old Continent are descendants of Wizards, they're called Bloodline Nobles, naturally noble.

But Marquises, Earls, Viscounts, Barons, and the like, can still be enfeoffed through military merit or other indelible great contributions."

"If you spend a few more years in the Tower, you might reach Intermediate Knight, or learn some profound knowledge and skills at the level of a secular master.

At that point, no matter where you go, you'll be a welcome guest among those queens and noble ladies."

"Who knows, maybe you could even become a Countess or something."

"That's right, that would definitely guarantee your future."

Nia's eyes welled up with tears: "Thank you, thank you for your guidance."

Roy said, "That's all too distant. Let's talk about things in the Tower...

If possible, I hope you can secure a position in the mission center or management office, and help provide some intel in the future."

Nia nodded quickly.

For her, the specific position didn't matter much, as long as it could exempt her from Mandatory Tasks.

After discussing Nia's situation, Roy then told everyone, "I will also prioritize strengthening myself as an Intermediate Knight.

However, I plan to achieve this through Bloodline Potions, rather than ordinary physical enhancements."

Renion's choice could be seen as tapping into the potential of a blank slate, human bloodline, while what he was about to choose was the bloodline of Magical Beasts or Aberrations.

This was more expensive and the fusion difficulty was higher, but it could potentially grant additional traits.

This was a very common enhancement method in the Wizarding World, greatly improving the close-combat abilities of Wizards.

In the ancient past, spellcasters were weak in close-quarters combat, and it was even once popular to use followers like Knights as shields.

But since the advent of bloodline modification and the subsequent popularity of Bloodline Wizards, this weakness was no longer a weakness.

Wizards now possessed formidable physiques and combat abilities comparable to melee classes, and their various spells and spell-like abilities were greatly enhanced.

This was completely modeled after the state of humanoid Magical Beasts or even humanoid Aberrations!

After that, Roy announced again, "The Fish Pearls and various miscellaneous materials you all harvested this time are mostly useless, but they contain some Magic Power, which can be used to refine Magic Stones. Have me recycle them.

My offer to you is a 100% return rate, what do you think?"

"So, if we give you miscellaneous materials worth about 100 Magic Stones, you'll give us the full value back?"

"That's right. The materials will be priced, with Magic Power determination based on the popular 'Magic Array Energy Measurement Method'.

Generally, only 'miscellaneous' grade materials are used for this purpose.

I won't charge you for the secondary discount, only for the initial discount during appraisal."

"That's great..."

"How generous and upright! Oh, Roy, I absolutely adore you!"

Everyone readily agreed.

Recycling miscellaneous materials was indeed a major way for Witch Realm Alchemists to earn money daily. Within this process, there were indeed various tricks involving initial discounts, secondary discounts, material loss, and quality variations.

Roy offering to recycle miscellaneous materials and give full value in Magic Stones was very beneficial to them.

Roy chuckled upon hearing this, "If you think I'm conscientious, you can help me spread the word, but when talking to outsiders, say it's at market price, according to the current market, understand?"

"Understood, understood!"

Everyone quickly replied.

After thorough communication, everyone dispersed and went about their business.

Roy now had some materials handed over by everyone, worth over a few thousand.

"Quite a lot.

It's a shame there are no storage Arcane Artifacts, otherwise, there would be enough time to collect more!"

Most Apprentices, when going out on missions, would only pick up light and valuable materials and treasures.

If they had storage Arcane Artifacts, it would be different.

With the same Magical Beast corpse, they could excavate significantly more Magic Stones.

Besides that, such items were also of great research value and could be used to study the manufacturing methods of many spatial equipment, which was an Advanced topic in 'Creationism'.

However, storage Arcane Artifacts were too expensive; they were spatial treasures, and even the entry-level ones cost at least ten thousand. He didn't have enough money to buy one yet.

"I wonder when I'll be able to strike it rich like that!"

With such a thought, Roy returned to his alchemy room and found that the stamina recovery potions he had previously refined were ready. He collected them and then began the process of refining the miscellaneous materials.

"If only I had Magic Crystal Stones excavated from large Magic Crystal Ore deposits, or specially customized Magic Power Cores, Elemental Pools, and similar devices and equipment...

That would be the key to large-scale refining!"

However, [Skilled Worker] is merely a Black Iron Rank talent, incapable of handling refinement at that level.

It requires an advanced Alchemy talent…

Speaking of which, if there's Black Iron Rank, could there also be Bronze, Silver, or even Gold Rank?

This holds significance in Alchemy, but I wonder how I can fully unlock my Alchemy talent.

A mere Apprentice is too poor and has very limited abilities.

Refining a thousand Magic Stones in one go still requires ten batches of work.

It would be even better if I could refine tens of thousands of Magic Stones at once, or even discover my own Alchemy talent.

Roy mused as he worked.

Three days later, January 9th.

On the third floor of the Wizard Tower, in his room.

Roy sat cross-legged on his bed, meditating. A fist-sized Will Rune appeared in the air as a three-dimensional projection, coiling around his body and emitting a silver glow.

The first one: Fei Fu (!

This projection from his mind to the outside world is precisely a manifestation of Spiritual Power transformation.

Once Roy could perform actions like telekinesis, this also came about naturally.

Knock, knock, knock!

At this moment, the door to his suite was knocked.

Roy opened his eyes, and the surrounding runes dissipated like bubbles.

He went to the door and opened it, finding the errand runner he had contacted earlier.

"Lord Roy, the Neanderthal Essence Blood you inquired about has arrived and is now available for purchase at the shop."

"Good."

Roy immediately followed him out the door to the shop run by the Wizard Tower and bought the main ingredient he needed.

It was a walnut-sized bottle containing a drop of peculiar, viscous blood.

Just this small drop cost a full 1500 Magic Stones.

However, it's still cheaper than buying the finished product directly!

Roy was fully confident about this.

"Finally, I can refine the Bloodline Potion I need and improve myself!"

He had made thorough preparations, and now, utilizing the characteristics of his Alchemy talent, [Skilled Worker], he began to get busy.

Not long after, a bottle of turbid, blood-red liquid—the Neanderthal Bloodline Potion—was successfully refined.
