Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Chapter 171, "Mimicry and Invisibility," holds a surprise. Click here to unlock it now.

Another month has passed.

At night, Ian stood in the center of the alchemy room, his figure slowly fading away.

[Invisibility: Mastery (1599/1600)]

He practiced this witchcraft every day, incorporating it into his daily life; today it's time to break it.

Mental energy circulates along specific circuits, and the skin is covered with a layer of faint light, which is deflected when it touches the body.

The figure disappeared inch by inch from the feet upwards.

Finally, he completely blended into the environment, and even his breathing was masked by magic.

Invisibility skill proficiency +1

[Invisibility: Mastery (1600/1600)]

This breakthrough was more significant than the previous recovery potion, and the area of ​​the mental sea in my mind expanded a bit more.

The energy pathways of the internal magical model suddenly changed, beginning to evolve and expand...

What were originally small tributaries burst open and became main channels, increasing the speed of spiritual energy circulation by more than three times.

The luminescence on the skin's surface solidifies, transforming from a thin film into a flowing liquid light film that adheres closely to the skin.

The light is deflected at a greater angle, almost achieving perfect refraction.

Panel refresh:

【Invisibility Technique: Limit broken once (0/3200) (Limit broken effect: 1. Mimicry)】

[Mimicry: In stealth mode, it can simulate the colors and textures of the surrounding environment, visually blending completely into the background. The mimicry updates synchronously as it moves, circumventing non-targeted reconnaissance methods.]

Ian's eyes lit up.

Mimicry!

These special effects are really useful!

Ordinary invisibility magic only deflects light, making a person "invisible," but their outline is still visible. It is easily exposed when encountering reconnaissance magic or energy detection.

Mimicry directly alters the visual appearance of a surface, blending into the environment like a chameleon, significantly increasing the difficulty of detection.

He walked to the wall, and a thought struck him.

The liquid light film on the skin's surface rippled, its color quickly turning dark gray, and its texture became rough, just like the stone wall.

Even if someone were to look right up against the wall, they would only see it as a piece of plaster.

As you walk closer to the wooden frame, the color turns brownish-yellow, and the texture becomes wood grain.

As I approached the alchemy table, the color turned metallic gray, and the texture became rune markings.

perfect.

Ian deactivated his invisibility, revealing his figure with a slight smile on his lips.

The level zero advanced sorcery broke through its limit once, and its power was indeed close to that of level one.

This [Mimicry] invisibility, in some special situations, may be even more effective than first-tier sorcery.

Days passed by like this.

Kenner and the others also broke through to the advanced apprentice level one after another, and Ian's subordinates finally started to take shape.

The first phase of model improvements for the [Collapse Starburst] model has been completed.

Ian drew the second improved structural diagram in his notebook.

"The energy compression efficiency during the collapse phase increases by 70%, and the explosion range is controllable, shrinking to the size of an egg at its smallest and expanding to a diameter of five meters at its largest."

The next step is practical testing, transforming the theoretical model into actual witchcraft.

[Furnace Tempering Technique] Proficiency surpasses 200.

The luminescence beneath the skin can now be seen without conscious effort, like a very faint jade-like coating.

When muscles exert force, the fibers contract and make a slight "snap" sound, increasing the upper limit of bone pressure by 30%.

The quality of the blood essence that Kenna and his group sent was getting better and better.

Among the most recent batch, there was actually a small bottle of the heart's blood of a first-tier Wind Hawk. Although the purity was not high, its bloodline was very strong.

Ian used the Bloodline Purification Technique for two hours to extract three golden-red blood essences.

Two pills were fed to Gaga.

The Shadow Night Hawk swallowed it, its feathers ruffled, the strange light in its eyes became more pronounced, and its wingspan exceeded eighteen meters.

The other one was for Ian's own body tempering.

Pain is certain.

The golden-red essence seeped into the skin, like molten iron being poured into the blood vessels, making the bones in the whole body crack and pop.

Ian gritted his teeth, activated his Body Tempering Technique, and guided the violent energy to temper every inch of his flesh and blood.

Two hours later, the pain subsided.

He opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air that smelled of blood.

Raise your hand and clench your fist; the air is squeezed out with a soft "pop" sound.

Its strength increased again.

On the panel, the proficiency of [Furnace Tempering Technique] has jumped to 325, which is close to proficiency. At that time, the body will be further strengthened.

The proficiency of the Bloodline Purification Technique has reached 1208, which is still far from the next limit break, but the effects of "Soul Devouring" and "Awakening" are running more smoothly.

Body training, increasing proficiency, feeding the gaga.

Three birds with one stone.

In the alchemy room, Ian was packing the latest batch of [Starlight Potion] into boxes.

He had just refined twelve potions, and all of them were successful. If other potion masters knew about this success rate, I wonder what their expressions would be.

This is why Ian dared to set the price so low; he wanted to first crush his competitors before dominating the market.

He stored all the potions in his dimensional ring and poured the dregs into the treatment pool.

The medicinal liquid in the pool churned and bubbled, quickly being purified by the runes into harmless wastewater.

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Kenner pushed open the door and came in, carrying an account book.

"Lord Ian, what are this month's revenue figures?"

He placed the account book on the alchemy table.

Ian glanced at it.

Starlight Pharmacy earned a net profit of 500 high-level magic stones in just three months after opening.

It wasn't a lot for Ian, but it was enough for his daily expenses, shop operations, and Kenna's and the others' salaries.

"Two more material procurement channels have been opened up: one leads to various outpost towns, and the other is the black market outside the tower, where prices are 10% lower than market prices," Kenna reported.

"Okay, continue." Ian nodded.

"Also... Robert has come up with a situation." Kenner lowered his voice.

"In the past month, the demand for 'rule-related materials' inside the Shadowmoon Tower has tripled."

Ian paused in his movements.

"Rules-based materials?"

"Yes, mainly fragments of abyssal rules, remnants of order-side imprints, and contact objects of higher-dimensional beings... These things were rarely touched before, but now they're suddenly in high demand."

Kenna said, "Prices have skyrocketed. A fragment of Abyss Rules the size of a fingernail is now asking for 300 high-grade magic stones, and it's still out of stock."

Ian remained silent for a few seconds.

"Understood. Keep an eye on things, but don't get involved in this kind of transaction."

"Yes."

Kenner left and gently closed the door behind him.

Ian walked to the window and looked at the night view of the Shadowmoon Tower outside.

The lights twinkled, and the wizard tower cast long shadows under the moonlight.

Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents are still surging.

The Twilight Eyes caught a few bugs, but the root of the problem wasn't eradicated.

Rules-related materials are suddenly in high demand... Is someone doing the same thing as him? Or is there something else?

"Could it be... that the Tower Master knows something?"

He shook his head, no longer thinking about it. He didn't even know what specific abilities a level three wizard possessed.

This served as a reminder to him that he should avoid contaminating his enemies in the future, as this is a taboo in the wizarding world.

Now, all he needs is time to grow in strength.

Since his mental power had already liquefied when he advanced, he didn't encounter any bottlenecks when he reached level two; he only needed to accumulate the total amount.

Practice your proficiency, improve your sorcery model, and max out your first-tier sorcery and first-tier potions...

His life seemed quiet and peaceful, but in reality, he was so busy that he was constantly on the go, wishing he could make the most of every minute.

The interior of Shadowmoon is temporarily safe, but what about the outside?

He hadn't forgotten that during the War of the Demon Hunters, he had killed many wizards from the Crimson Court and the Withering Council.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, falling on the open notebook on the alchemy table.
