The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

Chapter 100 [Profession - Alchemist]

Previously, during the battle with the giant flesh golem.

With the giant dragon claw formed from the power of space, Ansu had indeed destroyed all the flesh-and-blood golem parts inside the opponent's body.

However, under the influence of the aura of the undead, the giant flesh golem also gained the same soul flame as ordinary undead.

Furthermore, driven by the flames of their souls, they can move freely like ordinary living beings.

Even if the other party had once wanted to kill Ansu.

With the support of the entry.

As long as they are within Ansu's soul space, the undead they transform into will not become hostile units.

Instead, they will become loyal followers with a fixed loyalty of 100%.

Including their companions and family members, their combat strength is indeed not weak, but—it's still not enough.

Ansu made a judgment.

Judging from the way Tistu was modified and his memories, the wild wizards probably did not have the means to resist spatial abilities.

Just like the insect dragon of the past, you can set your own body and companions to a whitelist, and then absorb the colors and souls of the wild wizards through the spatial vortex.

What truly alarmed Ansu was the ancient wizard worshipped by the wild wizards.

As for that ancient wizard.

All Ansu knew was that there was a ceiling painting depicting an ancient wizard on the site of the wild wizards' encampment.

And the wild wizard's expression could be described as fanatical.

But Ansu intends to acquire the knowledge possessed by wild wizards and ancient wizards as soon as possible.

This allows for an additional boost to both skills and knowledge acquired before the mid-year assessments.

The likelihood of obtaining a private laboratory will also increase.

That is precisely why.

Ansu planned to make more preparations before heading to the wild wizard's encampment.

For example, the knowledge and resources gained at the recent trade fair will be used to enhance one's own strength or the strength of various spring species.

You can also make more paintbrush-shaped alchemy items that you can get from the dwarves.

They can even use their alchemical talents on their familiars.

Upon returning to his residence, Ansu immediately retrieved several Shadow Element Bone Dragons.

Using knowledge alongside himself, he creates paintbrush-shaped alchemy tools.

Besides.

During the previous trade fair, Ansu also exchanged liquid dragon's might for blueprints of many new types of alchemy items.

Like the Shadow Dragon, the Shadow Element Bone Dragon can also transform its body.

It can also perform multiple processes simultaneously by growing tentacles.

Therefore, with the help of Shadow Dragon, Ansu also used a variety of different blueprints.

At the same time, the manufacturing process for various alchemical tools began.

The various alchemical tools obtained during the entrance examination can also be used to create alchemical props.

Therefore, the manufacturing efficiency is not too slow.

The notification sounds indicating that proficiency had improved rang out one after another.

But before the manufacturing was even complete, a series of messages appeared on the panel:

The job path for becoming a professional alchemist has been unlocked.

"An alchemist?"

Ansu had heard of this profession.

A transcendent profession that emerged in the same era as ancient wizards, both ancient and powerful.

He once attempted to pursue perfect immortality and equivalent exchange by creating the Philosopher's Stone.

Because their goals were similar to those of wizards, the first headmaster of the wizarding academy integrated both into the current wizarding system.

The law of equivalent exchange, which wizards follow, is derived from the alchemist's theory of equivalent exchange.

Even now, there are still a few pure alchemists scattered throughout the wizarding world.

But the number is extremely small.

Not even one ten-thousandth of a wizard's apprentice.

After all, becoming an alchemist requires a talent for mysticism.

Rather than becoming an alchemist, I'd rather try becoming a wizard apprentice at a wizarding academy.

Although not as good as modern wizards.

But since it can rival the ancient wizards of the past, the condensed terms are probably not weak either.

With that in mind, Ansu opened the panel.

Then, information related to alchemists appeared on it:

[Job requirements for Alchemist (already triggered)]:

Mysterious attribute reached 30 points (achieved)

Mental strength attribute reached 30 points (not achieved).

Master 20 skills related to alchemy items, and all have a proficiency level of Lv.5 (not achieved)

Have you reached Level 5 in 20 knowledge areas?

So many?

Seeing this, Ansu opened the knowledge section.

Next, I filtered through the knowledge I possessed related to alchemy tools.

"The zombie-inhibiting bandage is one example."

The paintbrush-shaped alchemy tool counts as one.

In addition, there's the knowledge gained through the [Entry - Cemetery and Gallery (Gold)] and the extensive knowledge acquired at the trade fair...

Even counting them piecemeal, the amount of knowledge related to alchemy tools reaches 20.

It was precisely because the required number was met that the method of becoming an alchemist was unlocked.

"The requirement of 30 points of mental strength is not difficult to meet."

Simply practice the Etheric Meditation Method in conjunction with the King's Bone Ring.

Before long, the conditions for spiritual power will be met.

However... reaching Lv.5 in all 20 knowledge points would be a bit troublesome.

Ansu murmured.

Thanks to the attributes gained from becoming a Wizard Apprentice, and the additional bonuses from the secondary profession of Mystic Transcendent.

Ansu's efficiency in gaining proficiency was indeed boosted.

But even so.

Raising the proficiency of all 20 knowledge areas to Lv.5 is no easy task.

By creating more items that can accelerate the acquisition of alchemy-related knowledge and proficiency through the entries, and by applying the corresponding knowledge, the speed can be increased. At least before the alchemy item crafting course begins in about a month, one can become a professional alchemist.

Ansu pondered this, and then continued to use the blueprints for the paintbrush-shaped alchemy tool he had obtained from the dwarves to create various alchemical components. During this time, thanks to his continuous improvement in proficiency, Ansu's alchemical talent also received an additional boost.

Before Ansu had even finished creating all the parts for the paintbrush-shaped alchemy tool, a series of inspirations flooded his mind. Ansu then understood how to further modify it to make the finished product have better and more effects, or how to combine alchemy parts with other types of knowledge to apply them to himself or his followers.

However, my current level of proficiency in the relevant knowledge is still too low. If I were to directly modify myself, it would be troublesome to upgrade later. It would be better to apply the relevant knowledge to my familiars first, and once their proficiency is high enough, combine it with the knowledge of bones. Then, just like with the Angel Wings before, I could directly modify my bloodline.

As Ansu pondered this, he sensed his own soul space. He had already decided which familiar he should first apply the knowledge of the paintbrush-type alchemy tool to—the Shadow Element Bone Worm summoned through the King's Bone Ring and which had gained dragon blood in battle.
