Full-Time Wizard: Starting with Harvesting Wheat

Roy remembered what Soraya had said.

The human body has unlimited potential, and the wizards of the bloodline faction aim to utilize various bloodlines to develop them to near-limitless potential.

On the training field, Histor threw another punch, showing no mercy, and knocked Leylin to the ground like putty.

The latter was bruised and swollen, his face bulging from blood stasis, and a blood-stained tooth was visible on the ground.

The teenagers felt as if they were witnessing a domestic violence incident, not the kind where they could fight back, but rather a scene of young children struggling with their fathers.

Raelin cowered under Histor's thumb, clutching her head to avoid serious injury, but judging from the occasional peeks in her eyes, she was clearly still looking for an opportunity to retaliate.

"The old man's enhancement isn't like my 'Strength,' it's a passive, endurance-based ability. Every time he throws a punch, he has to re-enhance his arm. Over time, he'll definitely reveal a weakness!"

It must be admitted that Leylin's imagination was quite idealistic. But Histor was a top-tier expert who led everyone to sweep away the bandits in Blackwater Territory, and his combat awareness was far superior to Leylin's.

He discovered with despair that Histor's every punch was remarkably consistent in force, seemingly without a moment of weakness.

In the end, Leylin met a tragic end, suffering the consequences of being knocked unconscious.

……

The boys were stunned.

In their hearts, Roy's status was already very high, and now it was elevated to an even higher level.

Young Master Leylin made a move to attack Roy, but was slapped across the face by Lord Histor and then knocked unconscious in front of everyone!

This is a complete disregard for Young Master Leilin's feelings.

This also illustrates just how high Roy's standing was in the lord's eyes.

He's not even as good as his own son!

"Roy...could he be the lord's illegitimate son?"

"He's the kind of illegitimate child that's been pampered; otherwise, I can't imagine why the adults would protect him so much."

"So, to put it another way, cultivating a good relationship with Roy is equivalent to befriending the lord?"

The boys' eyes lit up.

They hadn't forgotten that the instructor had said that from now on, the resources they would need to use to practice breathing techniques would be obtained by contributing to the lord and exchanging them for special coins.

So, if you get in touch with the lord, what contributions do you need to make?

Just reach out and grab it!

Thinking of this, their gazes toward Roy became several times more fervent than before.

Histor, who had defeated his son and whose fingertips were stained with blood, dragged the knight's mangled body away, leaving a deep crimson trail in the stone path, his back view dashing.

After Histor left, the boys excitedly swarmed around him like a flock of chicks pecking at rice, calling Roy "Instructor".

……

That evening, Soraya returned from Lanxi Town, bringing back the Bloodline Resonance Fern and a storage bottle.

She told Roy that if the Bloodline Resonance Fern only absorbs the blood of the same species, its maturation rate will be extremely slow. Only by infusing it with the blood of multiple different species can its growth process be greatly accelerated.

The Bloodline Resonance Fern is currently only 38% mature and can only hold a maximum blood concentration of 3.8%. However, the maximum concentration it can hold is not simply proportional to maturity; rather, the maximum concentration increases more rapidly as maturity progresses.

—To cultivate the Bloodline Resonance Fern to 100% maturity, it would require the blood of more than 200 kinds of common organisms, with each requiring more than 50 ml.

Soraya concluded.

The Bloodline Resonance Fern was her invention, and as its creator, her understanding of it is naturally top-notch. Such an assessment is certainly close to the actual data.

The so-called ordinary creatures are the Jakka Giant Boar, the Thunder King Kong, and so on. The Dragonfire Lizard and the Lotl Lion, because they possess magical abilities, can be classified as lower-level extraordinary creatures.

Roy then pointed out a blind spot.

It's truly strange that Soraya, the creator of the Bloodline Resonance Fern, hasn't managed to cultivate a single plant that's 100% mature.

Soraya's answer was that after learning the sorcery of blood separation, she sold all her bloodline resonance ferns.

The reason is that there is still a shortage of money during the apprenticeship stage, and the cultivation of Bloodline Resonance Fern is somewhat troublesome. It requires a large number of different types of blood and also needs time for the ferns to absorb it, so there are more people who buy finished products.

—I sold the dozen or so Bloodline Resonance Ferns I had cultivated, and managed to make a small profit.

Soraya also said that the plants sold must be pre-treated to prevent breeders from analyzing the internal structure of the plants and then cultivating them themselves, thus secretly building an industry chain.

This approach involves the study of the Life Faction, which is why she initially got involved in the Life Faction.

"Miss Soraya," Roy hesitated for a moment before requesting, "Could you please help me separate the blood from the vial?"

Without the sorcery of blood separation, he would use high-concentration Lothlion blood to purify the low-concentration blood in Delok's secondhand blood, while injecting high-concentration blood would require highly mature Bloodline Resonance Ferns.

He has to spend time collecting blood from various creatures.

However, with Soraya, a wizard apprentice skilled in blood-separation magic, things will be different.

—Sure, but if I take action, you'll have to pay a price.

Soraya replied.

Hiring a first-class wizard apprentice is very expensive.

"A trade of interests?" Roy stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Should he use the Bloodline Resonance Fern, or add another debt and have Soraya help him with blood separation?

He quickly weighed the pros and cons.

He needs to quickly integrate the bloodline of the Lotl Lion and practice the Lion Breathing Technique.

The limits of lifespan still lie behind him, relentlessly pursuing him.

"Miss Soraya, please help me separate the blood," Roy said solemnly.

—Five hundred magic stones.

Soraya spoke, her voice cold.

Despite being prepared for an exorbitant price, Roy still gasped. The four basic knowledge books he had learned previously only cost a total of 120 magic stones. 500 magic stones didn't sound like a small amount.

But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Please, Miss Soraya."

—Come to my place tomorrow to pick up your blood.

It wasn't that Soraya needed so much time to separate the blood; rather, she had other things to do.

Having received Soraya's assurance, Roy, who owed an additional 500, felt that having more debt was not a burden, and thus turned his attention back to "Basic Theory of Alchemy".

The latter half of the book tells the story of how a student of the metal element becomes a wizard apprentice.

It requires fusing a certain metal into one's body, to the point where it can be controlled at will.

One of the challenges is choosing a suitable metal or alloy.

Another point is cultivating the ability to perceive the energy flow inside metal. By practicing this, one can use their mental energy to enter the interior of the metal, thereby shaping it and eventually integrating it into the human body.

Before that, he needs to finish reading "Basic Theory of Alchemy". The next two books, "Metal Illustrated Guide" and "Elemental Essence (Metallic Properties)", will help him select suitable metals and explain how to use mental power to modify metals.

These books are indeed essential for those with a talent for the gold element to advance to the level of a wizard apprentice, and there isn't even one extra.

Roy estimated that he would only need another two months at most to read and fully understand these books. However, according to the books, finding a suitable metal and learning to sense the energy flow within a metal is a long and complex process.

Even though he is a gold elementalist.

That evening, he and Karazhan returned to their dormitory instead of staying in Soraya's cabin.

Marais refreshed the doorway of their dormitory, his attitude even more respectful than before.
