Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 677 The Chakra World (4-in-1)

Roy took the initiative in order to explore the connection between divinity and divine artifacts, and to master the method of crafting objects, one of the "Four Ultimates".

In the definition of alchemists in the wizarding world, the "Four Ultimates" are actually the ultimate of different disciplines such as "Potion Studies", "Creation Studies", "Genesis Studies" and "Crystal Studies".

This is not fixed, but is constantly being redefined as the world order and the times change.

For example, in a low-magic world, the ultimate pursuit that people tirelessly pursue is to refine a "resurrection potion".

In another world of medium to high magic, it is no longer considered the ultimate power; drinking it can make one a god or grant other wishes.

Similarly, divine artifacts are also categorized into semi-divine artifacts, true divine artifacts, superior divine artifacts, and so on.

It is said that above the level of the main god, there are even higher beings.

The "ultimate creation science" that Roy can currently touch is also a semi-divine artifact.

Equivalent to a legendary item.

The level 4 items that were previously crafted were already at this stage.

However, they are still not true semi-divine artifacts and need further development.

However, having already crafted several level-four items, he has now obtained the crucial main material for creating divine artifacts: "divine essence".

Roy gained confidence in creating it.

"I can use one of the two godhood fragments to practice, while the other will be the one I actually create for my own use."

But things like fragments of divinity...

Selling them individually would be too unprofitable.

Building it yourself is too expensive.

This project can only move forward if a wealthy investor is found to sponsor it.

Otherwise, they'll bankrupt themselves!

The consequences of rashly launching projects that are too costly and beyond one's capacity to undertake independently are predictable.

A rough estimate puts it close to the tens of billions.

Top-tier high-level wizards have to put in a lot of effort to accumulate it.

If it were someone like his teacher, Frosov, they would have to empty their pockets and sell everything they owned.

There is even a possibility that it will not be able to proceed due to a lack of necessary resources.

If the system lags and resources remain idle, it will be a complete waste.

"The first thing is to add value to it and sell it."

Their experience and reputation in crafting divine artifacts will surely spread.

Perhaps others will ask me to refine it.

Then you can start taking orders and earning money!

I didn't make a living by taking on many cases before because I was still in the growth stage.

But now that I've even mastered the talent of an Alchemist, I can make a living from it.

If it weren't for the alliance rules and the need for training, I wouldn't even need to leave the Wizard Tower; I could just pay for my stay with magic stones and live a safe and worry-free life.

Prog didn't know what Roy was thinking, but after a moment's thought, he agreed.

"Okay, I'll make the preparations, and I'll give you the formal authorization in a few days!"

……

A few days later, in the Witch Tower.

"The processing and manufacturing cost is 200 million magic stones, payable in four installments, disbursed during the preparation, commencement, progress, and completion stages of the refining process."

After successful refining, depending on the quality of the finished product, an additional reward of 1 million to 3 million magic stones or materials will be given.

This part needs to be confirmed through negotiation between both parties.

If the refining fails, a deduction will be made...

The value of the divine fragments themselves is considered to be 10 billion, but it will not be paid for with current magic stones; instead, it will be paid for other resources and knowledge...

Party B has the right of first refusal, and Party A shall make every effort to meet its demands…

"In case of any dispute regarding the above terms, the matter shall be submitted to the Seven Towers Alliance Arbitration Tribunal for adjudication by an officially designated institution or authoritative figure..."

With the operation of the interdimensional communication network, the entrustment agreement drafted by both parties was officially finalized.

Roy condensed the "Arcane Mark" and signed it.

He couldn't help but sigh, "To make over a billion in one go, even for a high-level wizard, that's equivalent to several years' worth of income."

Reaching level three was indeed a significant step forward.

However, various expenses will also be high going forward.

If I were to create a semi-divine artifact myself in the future, I'm afraid it would require even more expense.

Prog signed his seal and nodded in satisfaction.

For him, this was also an attempt that combined personal connections with a certain degree of risk investment.

It would be best if it could be successful on the first try.

……

A few days later, on March 15th.

Roy and Araghi communicated with the world to learn about Celine's report.

As expected, with the financial assistance he provided, the construction of the underground city has progressed steadily and is now 39% complete.

Aladdin's lamp was also put out, and suitable mortal locations were selected as test sites.

He also self-published his own book, "One Thousand and One Nights."

He has his own control in the world of Araghi, so he can issue documents personally without going through other organizations or forces.

As for the publishers to whom the manuscripts are submitted, they involve various dimensions and worlds, and the authors want to leverage their influence.

Just then, the girl's skull came to report that there was news from Lokistica.

"Oh?"

Roy's heart stirred slightly, and he took the opportunity to switch the call.

The other person's figure appeared in the crystal ball, and Xuan immediately told him something: "The arrangements for you have been finalized."

"Oh?" Roy asked, "Where does the Wizard Tower plan to send me?"

Lokistika said, "Chakra World, Yodakara."

"Chakra World..."

Upon hearing this somewhat awkward term, Roy quickly recalled that he had read the "Journal of Plane Geography" and had some understanding of it.

Logistica said, “Even though you already have colonies, you still need experience.”

This is a prerequisite for granting the title of governor.

"Okmi Witch Tower will send you there to serve as the head of logistics for one of the leaders of the otherworldly legions, making you one of the three leaders of the local garrison..."

"The Big Three?"

Roy came to his senses and roughly understood that the person in charge of logistics warehouses and providing alchemical potions was the supervisor.

He couldn't help but reflect on his changing identity.

"During the time of the Brave World in Brevorel, I also participated in such a war legion, and was under the command of the high wizard Fait."

In the Fortnite world during the Gusbur period, he was invited by Hayred to accept his employment.

They were all subordinates in this role.

But now, he is the boss, roughly equivalent to the roles of Fait and Hayreid in the past!

Logistika continued, "That's a world level four location."

As you requested, divinity is widespread, and destiny is distributed relatively evenly...

The natives inside are at most level three in terms of combat strength; there are no gods or other demigod heroes among them.

However, due to historical reasons, monks are still participating in the competition to this day.

We are divided between the north and south, and are engaged in a three-way struggle with the indigenous people.

The battle is currently in a stalemate.

"That's enough."

Roy paused for a moment before replying.

"I accept the organization's arrangements."

******
9 month 20 day.

The sixth floor of the Witch Tower.

The black-robed ghostly deacon stepped forward and reported, "My lord, the magic array for Yodakara is ready."

Roy nodded and, along with Alice, Pranz, Nisha, Freya, and others, entered a room with a plaque that read "Secret Martial Plane".

Yodakara, in the language of the Vizel wizards, is a synonym for a mutated martial art.

Chakras, on the other hand, are a translation of information Roy had in his mind based on some information he knew from his previous life.

It tends to be a kind of life energy as described in Sanskrit, utilizing the energy of "chakra".

In general, it's an alternate world version of an ancient Eastern martial arts world, similar to professions like monks, ascetics, and paladins.

As the teleportation array was activated, a feeling of drifting arose.

Soon, a withered yellow planet with a slight crimson hue appeared before them.

The land and sea above swept past, followed closely behind, as if rapidly falling from the clouds.

A moment later, I felt the door in front of me open, and a bright light shone in.

"Welcome to Yodakara, Lord Roy."

The local resident shaman came to greet them.

The leader introduced himself as Legatos, a third-level bloodline wizard from the Ministry of Administration.

This was a tall, burly, bald man, as imposing as a small iron tower, covered in runes, giving him an awe-inspiring and powerful presence.

Roy looked up at the nearly 3-meter-tall, towering figure, which resembled a small giant, and could vaguely sense the physical energy of several thousand degrees emanating from it. He couldn't help but marvel at it inwardly.

This is definitely a powerful figure capable of fighting hand-to-hand with Quetzalcoatl or Beretta's giant centipede!

He might even be able to dismantle the Arcane Police with his bare hands!

Next, the logistics department staff introduced themselves, namely Roy's subordinates: the scribe, the bloodline wizard Bocre, and the chakra warrior Riel.

They looked at their new boss with a hint of curiosity.

Since they already knew it was a newly promoted Level 3, they were not surprised by the spiritual energy and life force.

The only surprise was the other person's beauty.

"Such a handsome young man..."

"what!"

As everyone walked out, Legatos took the initiative to explain the general situation.

"Lord Roy, as you are probably already aware, we wizards and mages are vying for control of this world, causing endless chaos among nations."

Currently, the world has identified more than a dozen level three powerhouses, hundreds of level two powerhouses, tens of thousands of level one powerhouses, and countless level zero chakra warriors.

It carries a certain degree of danger.

However, they have a fatal weakness: the vast majority of them cannot fly.

In addition, we have also developed our own Chakra Warriors...

Under the command of His Excellency Impetto of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the campaign is underway...

Due to the urgency of matters at the front, I was unable to return to see you.

As they spoke, the group arrived outside, where they found themselves on a floating island.

Surrounding them were satellite islands with towering buildings, and giant eyeball-shaped magical artifacts scanned all directions.

Roy could roughly guess at a glance that it was a weapon of war equipped with beam-type attack spell modules.

"This is a floating island that the Seven Towers Alliance built at great expense..."

The city below is an indigenous kingdom under our control...

If you're interested, you can go down there for a vacation later.

Legatus explained.

……

Soon after.

The Logistics Department Office, inside the office.

Roy sat at the table reading documents.

"The cultivation system of Chakra Warriors..."

Chakras refer to the seven energy centers located in the human body, including the root chakra, sacral chakra, navel chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, third eye chakra, and crown chakra.

Among these, there are three key elements: Qi and blood circulation, heart fire, and spirit.

Corresponding to changes in flesh and blood, life energy, and spiritual intentions.

The esoteric martial arts training in this world is centered around this, constructing a 'ki' energy system similar to that of martial monks.

Nisha was watching from the side.

"This strength extends from the physical body to the spirit, and there are also some secrets to enhance the spirit."

But it's mainly based on the physical body.

Spiritual cultivation tends to be delayed, requiring the opening of the third eye chakra and the mastery of divine will...

Only then can one possess a wizard-like spiritual power, thereby gaining the ability to control magical flight!

Roy nodded.

"This is completely different from the cultivation of the Heartless Ones over there. After all, you rely on the power of strange creatures, while they are evolving and cultivating."

But then again, perhaps there are some points of compatibility?

If there's no conflict, you can give it a try.

Nisha was clearly tempted.

Different dimensions and worlds have their own unique characteristics, and some can truly be pieces of a puzzle, fitting together perfectly!

“I think I understand why the Seven Towers Alliance arranged for you to come here.”

Pulanjie flipped through the documents in her hand, seemingly lost in thought.

“A spellcaster like you has a considerable advantage among a group of martial artists.”

Even assuming the strongest among them pose no threat to the soul, and that they could be revived with a resurrection potion even if killed, they would still be safe.

Roy looked puzzled but did not refute.

Because he privately speculated that there might actually be some reason behind it!
"Lord Roy..."

Just then, the female clerk, Ruilier, knocked on the door and entered, bringing a stack of documents.

"Lord Roy, here is the information you need regarding the Awakening Potion..."

The Alliance uses this very thing to mass-produce Chakra Warriors artificially.

"Oh?"

Roy put down the documents in his hand and flipped through them.

"This was invented by the great wizards who once conquered this place..."

Why is it rarely seen outside the public?

"It seems that it's because certain special materials are only produced locally."

I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either. Only a high-ranking wizard like yourself is qualified to consult this information.

The female clerk from the logistics department took something out of her robe—a black liquid in a test tube.

"This is the actual sample..."

It's a higher-level awakening potion than ordinary ones—a Qi Meridian Awakening Potion!

Roy waved his hand, suspending it in the air, and curiously activated [Eye of Hermes].

Instantly, a rich green fluorescence appeared.

"Qi Meridian Awakening Potion (Level 1)..."

The blessing containing the will of the world—'Warrior's Destiny'—is a magical potion that can awaken one's chakra and grant mastery of 'chakra'.

The first stage stops at the navel chakra, where 'energy channels' are built...

Roy pondered for a moment, then took the opportunity to use reverse engineering to try and crack the alchemical process of "identification".

As a result, some strange information surfaced in my mind.

"The winner takes all, the loser eats the dust..."

A martial artist's destiny is to stand at the pinnacle of the world and become a powerful being...

The world's will will use the 'losers' as its material to condense a crystallized power of blessing..."

"So that's how it is. It's the destiny of battle, similar to a ritual called 'duel'?"

******
Combining what he knew in his mind, Roy quickly realized that this was both the source of the Chakra Warriors' strength and the root of their backwardness.

The will of this world favors martial artists, and it reveres an indomitable fighting spirit.

It can continuously provide the alliance with warrior-type professionals with cultivation systems.

But they are too simplistic.

Many inherent defects have not been remedied in the course of development for a long time.

With the advent of the dimensional colonization era, there will be even less of a chance.

at this time.

"Woo--Woo--"

An alarm sounded.

"Someone has invaded the Sky Island!"

The female clerk, Ruilier, changed her expression slightly and explained the significance of the alarm.

"Oh, so a Chakra Warrior has infiltrated?"

"It's still unknown, but judging from the sound, it shouldn't be the mages invading."

"You go down first."

Roy glanced at the other person.

"Yes." Ruilier hurried away, seemingly busy with something.

After that, Prandtse and Nisha also left, but instead of wandering around at this crucial moment, they went back to the mage's mansion first.

It's a relatively secluded place, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Not far away, outside the long corridor.

A figure flashed by, as if someone had intruded into the office premises.

Just as Ruilier was about to leave, she heard the guards' shouts and looked at the route the intruder had taken, her face showing anxiety.

She suddenly realized that the intruder was heading straight for the office of her boss, the newly arrived Mr. Roy.

Ruilier quickly turned around and headed straight there.

But in the blink of an eye, it suddenly stopped.

She heard a muffled thud from inside, followed by a terrifying aura.

Like the terrifying pressure of a high-level magical beast, it shook her spirit.

In an instant, she seemed to vaguely sense a terrifying giant python, hundreds of meters long, appearing and filling the entire corridor.

Coming to his senses, he quickly pushed open the door and rushed inside.

"Lord Roy..."

However, Roy stood calmly by the window, with a broken wall on one side and a martial artist with severed meridians and foaming at the mouth sitting slumped below.

"Who is this?"

Roy asked.

"That's amazing..."

A level-two martial artist was dealt with in an instant!

Ruilier was slightly dazed, but could still sense the residual power emanating from the other party.

Coming to his senses, he quickly said, "It seems they are rebels who do not submit to our rule."

The clothes he was wearing...

It's the 'Tiger' organization.

"Tiger?"

Roy smiled slightly.

No wonder he's so fierce.

"They have been dedicated to stealing secret medicines for years, hoping to uncover the secrets of how the wizards mass-produce Chakra Warriors, especially those who awaken their Qi Meridians and advance to the next level!"

"Oh?"

Roy was slightly surprised.

"That's indeed troublesome; it must be kept strictly confidential..."

After a slight hesitation, Ruilier revealed, "It's too late. This organization has already obtained some of the secrets from the followers cultivated by the secret medicine."

"Was it an experiment conducted using the blood of the losers?"

Roy recalled the information he had just seen using reverse engineering.

Ruilier was surprised by Iroy's sensitivity, but then she remembered that the other party was a high-level wizard and felt relieved.

"Yes, it's just that their biotechnology level is too low, which is why it's difficult to replicate."

These assassins came for more information.

……

Shortly after, Rheel left again, taking the unconscious intruder with her.

Roy also temporarily left the messy office and waited in the small hall next door.

The girl's skull floated beside him, reminding him, "A level two chakra warrior shouldn't be able to fly yet. It's a bit strange that he was able to get up here."

"It's nothing more than collusion from within and without."

Roy said dismissively.

"It is inevitable that such a large floating island will have some defensive loopholes."

Let's hope it's not some kind of secret conspiracy again.

Based on previous personal experience, it is known that the wizards on the governor's side all have their own ulterior motives and are considering their own future prospects.

Not everyone has the opportunity to become a Grand Wizard.

We must fight tooth and nail for every opportunity.

He was still unsure of the true situation and didn't know what this so-called "Tiger Organization" really meant.

Therefore, they prepared to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

Let's settle down first.

……

Soon, some time passed.

With Roy's arrival, many things got back on track.

His primary concern was the situation of the "logistics department" under his command.

It turned out that most of them were first-level alchemists, close to Evelya's level.

There are a few level-two alchemists, similar to the previous apothecary Tikel.

However, Roy was not concerned with managing those people, but rather with researching the possibility of introducing the "Chakra Warrior" system to the world of Araghi.

"In that way, not only can the foundation of one's own industries be strengthened..."

It can also, to some extent, eliminate the hostility of the world's will!

It might even allow me to reconcile with Araghi's world will and receive the destiny He has bestowed upon me!

As Roy's understanding of "plane science" and "soul science" deepened, he gradually realized that the world's will was like a bewildered beast, or even a paramecium-like existence.

He doesn't actually distinguish between good and evil; it's more about "instinct."

They like what is beneficial and dislike what is harmful.

My previous entry into the world of Araghi was an invasion and a form of damage.

But if we can capture spirituality from the outside world, or give Him opportunities to develop in various ways.

That would then become beneficial.

"If all else fails, we can bring in some experienced Chakra warriors to work as mercenaries there."

But it's best if they are loyal and reliable...

It's best to cultivate your own chakra martial artist.

Gradually, Roy sorted out his thoughts.

"The specific method is to master the awakening potion and the Qi and Meridian Awakening Potion!"

He now understands that the materials needed to be prepared include Yodakara bloodline factors, artificial proteins, and the blood of the defeated, among others.

……

Another day.

In the mage's mansion, in the alchemy room.

Roy reached out and lifted it up, and the "Roy Wizard's Alchemy Box," which had already advanced to level three, floated up, radiating a dazzling light.

"Refining!"

As the scales face inward, the golden balance pattern appears.

A small bottle flew out from inside.

"Chakra Awakening Potion (Level 0)..."

After examining it with the Eye of Hermes, Roy smiled.

Not long after, Roy summoned his subordinate, Riel.

"Let me verify this item."

"You've mastered it so quickly!"

Ruilier was somewhat surprised.

Unbeknownst to her, Roy had not only successfully mastered the potion, but had also integrated it with the [Catalogue of All Learning] and the "Alchemy Array," successfully "systematizing" it.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be using the magic box.

At this point, Roy asked about something else.

"I want to train my own Chakra Warriors as followers."

Are there any suitable candidates?

******
Reilly snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "There's a special orphanage below the floating island that can provide such candidates."

"Orphanage?"

"That's right, they are orphans displaced by war or various disasters..."

The wizards collected them and fostered them...

At this point, a strange look appeared on his face.

"Actually, I also come from the same background."

"I see."

This is nothing new.

Roy quickly recalled that similar institutions had existed in the various worlds he had experienced before.

Although it also contains some filthy and evil things, for example, dark wizards use the orphans there to conduct various cruel experiments.

But there are indeed many lucky ones whose lives have been changed since then.

However, this is not because the wizards are merciful, but because they need to cultivate a group of loyal servants through this method.

Similar to Artedia, they came from ordinary, low-class families, were promoted, and gradually became her followers.

Their education inevitably included content on loyalty to wizards and the Alliance.

Even if they ultimately fail to advance to the next rank, they can still fill positions in the local ruling apparatus, achieving the goal of using indigenous people to govern other indigenous peoples.

……

11 month 1 day.

Roy arrived below the floating island.

Sitting on the magic carpet, gazing into the distance.

What appears below is a city that is close to the level of the electrification era.

But Roy saw no signs of industrial development in it; instead, he saw all sorts of destruction.

Those ruins looked as if they had been forcibly created by people using their fists and feet.

As it flew over the square, there was a huge palm print that was more than ten meters wide.

Some fences are there, and there's no sign of funding being allocated for their repair in the short term.

Many horse-drawn carriages, mixed with outdated cars, would drive past them.

Seeing this, Roy couldn't help but shake his head.

Not long after, at the orphanage.

The dean and staff came to greet them.

The orphans living here had also been notified long ago and all came to the compound to wait.

They were wearing matching clothes, and they looked visibly neat and clean.

Roy looked around and saw a mixture of fanatical worship and awe and fear on the slightly childish faces.

They seemed to know that this was an opportunity that could change their own destiny, and they all eagerly awaited it.

The dean stepped forward, attempting to give an introduction.

"Lord Roy..."

Roy waved his hand, interrupting him directly.

Although he could discern the truth or falsehood of what these people said to some extent, he could not quickly understand the specific details.

So it's best not to listen to what they say.

In the present moment, we put on a single-piece concept-armed hypnotic glasses in the mental world.

Instantly, the expressions of the orphans present changed drastically.

Before them, a terrifying scene suddenly appeared: a surging mass of snakes and a horde of demons rushing in through the doorway.

"This...what is this?"

"Weird, monster!"

The sudden encounter shocked everyone.

Most of them were too young and had not learned much martial arts or magic, so they fell into despair.

However, some people among them behaved differently from others.

Roy soon noticed that one of the little girls seemed unusually resilient.

Even mild hypnosis couldn't fool her.

Roy's heart stirred slightly.

They specifically intensified their efforts to create a mental illusion of a giant python.

She was eventually deceived and fell into a terrifying illusion.

But at that moment, he suddenly made a move, displaying clean and swift skills.

Although he ultimately lost and perished in the python's jaws, he maintained a composure beyond his years throughout.

"Who is that?"

Roy asked.

The dean followed his finger and quickly said, "Sir, her name is An Jiali."

“An Jiali…”

If I remember correctly, this is the name of a traditional gesture of worship in the language of the Yodakara world.

It also symbolizes piety and dedication.

Roy nodded in satisfaction.

"Great meaning, she's the one!"

Does this work?
The crowd was slightly surprised.

……

Soon after, Roy returned to the floating island with the chosen Anjali.

“Ryle, you teach her some rules first, and maintain the training…”

She's still too young, only 14. I'll give it to her in a few years, after I've successfully refined the level one potion.

Roy estimated that with his skill level, mastering the first-level "Qi Awakening Potion" would not be a problem.

The key point is that this age is a crucial period for the formation of personality and thought.

The key to cultivating loyalty lies in combining one's inherent spiritual qualities with proper upbringing and education.

"The reason I don't select adult soldiers is because I don't lack subordinates..."

For ordinary matters, Pranzhe and Nisa can run errands and help out. Even if there is a need for more manpower, the power of the Witch Tower and the Alliance can be borrowed.

However, the more loyal souls one can take with them, the better.

This is the one who truly deserves to be nurtured!

The followers also differ.

For example, Artia, Windsorbell, and Freya, and perhaps Beryl, are clearly much more determined than Prandelle and Nisa.

The elf Mereus was more like a guest.

Roy himself understood the situation perfectly well.

……

In the days that followed, Roy settled down in this world.

During this period, Golden Feather Bookstore sent a letter informing us that "One Thousand and One Nights" had been successfully published.

They even sent him several hundred magic stones as royalties.

"It seems like we could write another 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' in the future..."

No, it should be "Roy's Fairy Tales"!
Include Cinderella, Snow White, the Magic Mirror, and other similar stories!

All the tasks under my command are well-organized, so I don't need to worry too much.

The Wuta system is somewhat like a bureaucratic system that separates political and administrative affairs, with plenty of talent available to handle specific tasks.

They were all accountable to Roy, the high-ranking wizard, while Roy himself only needed to sit in the command center and had plenty of time to conduct his own research and improvement.

During this time, he would refine divine fragments whenever he had free time, while also engaging in various studies and preparations, intending to complete Prog's request first.

This is not an easy task, and it's my first time doing it, so it will take a long time to learn as I go.

And so, more than a year passed.

In the mage's mansion, in the alchemy room.

Roy once again unleashed "Roy the Wizard's Alchemy Box".

"The systematic construction has been completed."

Various spell arrays and corresponding rune arrays are also inscribed into them, and can be programmed.

"That's settled then, get it refined!"

After a thorough mental review, all preparations were complete.

A powerful magical force surged into it.

As the magic box shone brightly, a bottle of black potion appeared.

"Qi Meridian Awakening Potion (Level 1)..."

Roy caught it, examined it in his hand, and then used the Eye of Hermes to appraise it.

The result was, unsurprisingly, as expected.

A big success.
