An Interesting Wizard, Treasure Diary

The Freshman Residence came with a matching Biological Nurturing Room.

Freshmen who chose nurturing wizardry spent their days cultivating inside, and there was even a specialized Numerical Detection Device that applied Wizard Technology.

It could accurately collect information on Nurtured Creatures and compare it against the progress of nurturing wizardry.

It could not match the accuracy of the Eye of Truth, but for the most part, no errors would appear.

Wang Ya locked the Blue Poison Monkey in the nurturing room. The builders had considered the possibility of a Nurtured Creature going berserk, so there were specialized Restraint Devices.

There were many Wizard Freshmen on Ancient Forest Mountain, and the beginner wizardry they chose was not limited solely to the Elemental Energy Series and the Supernatural Nurturing Department.

At the very least, Wang Ya knew that among this batch of Newborn Wizards, there was also related wizardry corresponding to the Mechanical Wizard System, as well as manifestations of bloodline awakening from the Bloodline Wizard system.

The latter was extremely rare, and it was absolutely not something Commoner Freshmen could possess. Only people from those Wizard Families could use Wizard Surgery to implant expensive Supernatural Bloodlines into their junior descendants.

A powerful Supernatural Bloodline could even steadily, step by step, create an official wizard.

Bloodline Wizards possessed a blessed early-stage advantage. By nurturing the bloodline within their bodies and continuously developing and strengthening it, each increase in progress could bring a tremendous leap in strength.

There were even examples of people becoming official wizards within a hundred years.

As long as one had a Supernatural Bloodline implanted, obtaining the Admission Ticket was practically as certain as nails hammered into a board.

The expensiveness of Supernatural Bloodlines could also dispel most people's thoughts. Quite a few powerful Supernatural Bloodlines were even priceless treasures with no market supply.

The Supernatural Bloodlines of Low-tier Supernatural Beings had a decent market. In shops and institutions related to wizards, as long as one spent money, they could be bought.

If Wang Ya wanted to, he could also consider whether he could extract a Supernatural Bloodline from Harak and exchange it for a good price.

Wizard Families almost never considered implanting low-tier Supernatural Bloodlines into their descendants. They generally chose medium- to high-tier bloodlines.

The Wizard World was one of Equivalent Exchange. The advantages Bloodline Wizards obtained would, in certain respects, also become shackles.

The core essence of a Bloodline Wizard lay in the Supernatural Bloodline. Whatever bloodline they chose, the highest strength they could reach would only be the original limit of that Supernatural Bloodline.

Harak flew over from the clothes rack and landed on Wang Ya's shoulder as he pushed the door open and entered. Wang Ya's fingers stroked and teased the back of his neck.

Harak narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and let out a low cry.

If someone implanted Harak's Supernatural Bloodline, in the end, they could only become a First-level Wizard Apprentice, or perhaps even worse.

Harak belonged to the category of Supernatural Beings nurtured after birth. Whether he even had a Supernatural Bloodline at all was a question mark.

Wang Ya did not possess much related knowledge, so for the time being, he still could not clearly understand the differences and relationship between Supernatural Bloodlines and Nurtured Creatures.

He also did not plan to walk the path of a Bloodline Wizard.

People who truly had ambition and goals would never choose a wizard path that had already been fixed in place.

On the bookshelf, after Wang Ya's sorting, the books belonging to Supernatural Basic Knowledge were placed closer to the middle, where they could be reached at any time.

As for the remaining books concerning the Wizard World, the environment and geography of The Umbral Expanse's forces, the surrounding Wizard Forces, and even conceptual discussions regarding the future development of the Wizard System, they were all placed on the upper and lower shelves.

After spending roughly half an hour, Wang Ya sorted out the Basic Supernatural Knowledge books he needed to master next.

The books piled on the desk occupied nearly half of it, stacked half a meter high.

And these were merely a grasp of the most basic part of the Wizard World's supernatural side.

If he wanted to truly step onto the wizard path and possess the ability to independently conduct Wizard Experiments, this was a rigid condition.

There were far, far too many things to consider. The things he needed to master were ten times, a hundred times the knowledge content of the books before him.

The Relationship Between the Activity and Inertia of Elemental Particles. The Influence of the Frequency Amplitude of Fire Element Particle Energy on Wizardry Power. Theory of Elemental Essence. Detailed Explanation of Wizard Particle Energy. Book of Dissecting the Supernatural.

Wang Ya found the Basic Supernatural Knowledge books recorded on the Wizard Ship.

A knowing smile appeared on his face. It was joy like suddenly finding a clue while playing an extremely difficult deduction game.

If there were no connection between the two, Wang Ya did not believe it. The person who laid out this small clue, this little puzzle, was definitely a very interesting wizard.

In his heart, he gained a few more points of recognition toward the force of The Umbral Expanse.

The bookshelves in the rooms on the other Wizard Ships were probably in the same situation.

The prerequisite was first finding the relevant information records on the bookshelf in the room on the Wizard Ship.

Wang Ya felt that among the Wizard Freshmen of Ancient Forest Mountain, around seventy percent of them most likely had no mind to flip through the contents of the books on the shelves.

There was not only this. There was also basic Wizard Knowledge that leaned toward the Supernatural Nurturing Department. The Mysterious Sensibility Between Nurtured Creatures and Wizards. The Best Nurturing Method and Corresponding Species Selection. The True Future Direction of the Supernatural Nurturing Department.

As for Basic Supernatural Knowledge of the other wizard departments, none was found. After all, these had been left for Wizard Freshmen, and they did not even cost a single Magic Stone.

If it came to Supernatural Resources and Magic Stones, Wang Ya could also be considered wealthy among the Wizard Freshmen.

That Red Metal Ring was kept close to his body. Magic Stones, Supernatural Resources, and the like were all stored inside it.

As for the Supernatural Items that existed inside the Red Metal Ring, Wang Ya had already understood them clearly.

The remaining three Wizardry Scrolls were, respectively, Fire Elemental Energy wizardry—Crimson Dragon Breath; Dark Elemental Energy WizardryDarkness Deprivation; and wizardry—Corrosive Acid.

The first two Wizardry Scrolls belonged to Mid-level Wizardry, while the last was Low-level Wizardry. However, in terms of destructive power and function in certain respects, it even surpassed Mid-level Wizardry.

As for the last of those three books, it greatly exceeded Wang Ya's expectations.

It was not recorded Wizard Knowledge, nor was it a Wizard Meditation Method. Instead, it was a diary—and a diary sealed by witchcraft at that. The Eye of Truth had even seen traces of a wizard formation's refinement on it.

This was far too exaggerated, as if it were not a diary, but a Treasure Map recording some rare hoard. It also piqued no small amount of Wang Ya's interest.

Prompt: Analyzing the fifth Wizard Rune. Estimated time: twenty days.

The Eye of Truth was taking longer and longer to analyze things. When Wang Ya thought of Wizard Experiments that started at a time cost measured in years, it began to feel normal. Once the analysis was complete, it could be said that success in outlining it was guaranteed. Other wizards had to spend vast amounts of time understanding the key points of meditation methods, then attempt it with extreme caution; one tiny mistake, and all their previous efforts would flow away like water, ending in failure to outline it.

The time spent on analysis was just enough for Wang Ya to study and master the Basic Supernatural Knowledge before him, making up for his own shortcomings.
