Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 62 Magical Metals and Magic Runes!
Upon entering the library, Ronan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Above the library, all that could be seen was a night sky.

The night sky is filled with the moon and stars, radiating a light brighter than anything in reality.

According to Paul, of the five floors of the library, first-level wizard apprentices could only move around on the first and second floors.

A second-level wizard apprentice can advance to the third and fourth levels.

A third-level wizard apprentice can then ascend to the fifth level.

The bricks and stones that make up each layer contain hidden magical formations.

Not wearing the academy badge, being someone else, or not being a qualified apprentice will all trigger the spell.

Paul is a second-level wizard apprentice; he can only go up to the fourth level.

Because the duration of the initial transformation agent is only a little over an hour.

He came here to record knowledge of alchemy.

As for the other books, he can record them later after he has refined more transformation potions.

So he walked quickly, looking for the bookshelf containing alchemical knowledge.

There were other wizarding apprentices in the library.

Each of them, whether focused or indifferent, seemed to be immersed in knowledge.

On the first level, Ronan found the basics of alchemy.

He opened the book, flipped through the pages quickly, and summoned Hongmeng to begin recording.

The first layer of basic alchemy knowledge provides a basic introduction to alchemy and explains the assembly of alchemical components.

How to integrate the magic ore and how to carve magic runes were not explained.

After Ronan finished writing down the notes in several books on alchemy, he went up to the second floor.

The alchemical knowledge of the second level is more advanced than that of the first level.

He thought that the library was designed to place books according to the levels of wizard apprentices.

Ronan then recorded it layer by layer.

After about an hour and ten minutes, Ronan finally recorded all the alchemical knowledge from the second to the fourth level using Hongmeng.

After taking notes, he hurried downstairs, left the library, and then quickly walked out of the college.

After leaving the academy, I headed towards a less crowded area.

When he reached a deserted alley, the muscles in his face twitched.

Gradually, his face, hair, and body returned to their original state.

He immediately used his wizard's hand to remove Paul's wizard's robe and put on his own clothes.

Afterwards, they left the upper town and returned to the bungalows in the middle town.

Ronan sat down at the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and while sipping it, summoned the Primordial Chaos and accessed his alchemical knowledge.

Currently, he knows all the alchemy methods that a second-level wizard apprentice can learn, as well as the specific steps for integrating magic ore and carving magic runes.

In alchemy, before incorporating magic ore and carving magic runes, the materials to be crafted into magical artifacts must be softened using a heat-melting method.

If an alchemist wants to create a magical artifact on his own, he must learn fire magic.

He guessed that Paul's friend asked Paul for help because he didn't want to be distracted by studying fire magic.

However, there is a treasure-refining incantation in the "Green Wood Sword Manual".

By chanting incantations and performing spells, one can borrow the power of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to soften the materials.

When wizards craft artifacts, they need to incorporate magic ore.

The "Azure Wood Sword Manual" also describes a method for refining the Azure Spirit Sword by incorporating metal.

The Azure Spirit Sword can be forged using only Azure Spirit Bamboo.

However, adding some rare metals can make the Azure Spirit Sword even more powerful.

Ronan then wanted to try incorporating metals from the Wizarding World into it.

He learned about twenty kinds of magic-conducting metals from alchemy books.

Magic-conducting metal is a type of metal that can carry and conduct magic power.

Among them, the most precious are mithril and adamantite. Ronan had heard that both metals were in the hands of the kingdom's seven great wizarding families and rarely came into circulation; they were items that could not be bought with Valant coins.

Ronan then planned to use other high-grade metals to strengthen the Azure Spirit Sword.

Later, we will slowly plan for mithril and adamantite.

The most frequent part of his alchemical knowledge records was about magic runes.

Engraving magical runes on magical artifacts can increase their power.

He memorized more than a dozen magic runes on the fourth floor of the library.

—Sharp Magic Rune, Armor-Piercing Magic Rune, Spell-Breaking Magic Rune, Paralysis Magic Rune, Frost Magic Rune, Scorching Magic Rune…

Alchemy books say that although magic runes can enhance the power of magical artifacts, one cannot arbitrarily carve several different magic runes onto a single artifact.

For example, if both frost runes and scorching runes are engraved on a magical artifact, the two runes will cancel each other out.

Ronan selected four non-incompatible magic runes from the dozen or so: Sharpness Magic Rune, Armor-Piercing Magic Rune, Spell-Breaking Magic Rune, and Paralysis Magic Rune, intending to incorporate them when refining the Azure Spirit Sword.

Having considered this, Ronan stood up.

Upon arriving at the alchemy room, the materials for refining the initial-level transformation potion were taken out and placed on the experimental table.

He had previously learned from Paul about places that sold magic metals privately.

He had to change his appearance before he could go and make the purchase.

After Ronan used his mental power to condense ten wizards, he began to refine them.

About two hours later, three portions of the initial-level transformation potion were successfully prepared.

Beginner Transformation Potion (Proficiency 2%)

The beginner-level transformation potion has reached the [Proficient] level. As long as I continue to refine it, the refining speed will be even faster in the future.

The quality of the medicine will be improved, and the duration of its effectiveness will be longer.

Ronan drank a bottle of transformation potion.

Instantly, the magic in the potion rose from his abdomen and spread throughout his body.

His muscles and skin began to twitch, and his bones felt slightly itchy.

Ronan channeled his mental energy, controlling his skin, muscles, and bones.

Soon, he transformed into a thin-lipped young man with golden curly hair.

Because no other person's items or magic were added to the potion, the aura and magic fluctuations remained unchanged.

However, the Ancient Wood Longevity Technique that Ronan practiced was close to nature, with a very peaceful aura and almost no magical fluctuations.

Although she lacks other people's possessions and magic, her disguise skills are only slightly lacking.

Ronan put on his cloak, went out the door, and headed towards the old blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith shop, Gusen, was the one Paul had told him about—a blacksmith shop that secretly sold magic ore and magic-conducting metals.

The Old Forest Blacksmith Shop is a shop that forges armor for knights.

The magic ore and magic-conducting metals in the shop were originally intended for forging armor for knights.

Armor crafted from magic ore and magic-conducting metals, making it easy for alchemists to enchant their gear.

Knights who are registered must register their complete personal information if they purchase armor there.

The amount of magic ore and magic-conducting metal incorporated into the armor must also be recorded.

The amount of magic ore and magic-conducting metal used by the Ancient Forest Blacksmith Shop, and where it went, were all under the supervision of the royal family.

However, the owner of the Komori blacksmith shop also wanted to make more money.

He would manipulate the circulation records of magic ore and magic-guided metals, thereby selling a portion of the magic ore and magic-guided metals privately.

Because he took on considerable risk, the price he would pay for this portion privately would be much higher than the price he would pay in a normal transaction.

Komori Blacksmith Shop is located in the lower town.

Ronan used the Lightness Charm to walk in deserted places.

About half an hour later, we arrived at the door of the Kosen blacksmith shop.
