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

"Confirmed employment."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ansu immediately accepted the job.

[Obtain the profession - Alchemist]

[Mental Strength +1, Mysticism +1]

[Creating the entry... Creation complete]

[Obtain the entry - Pigment Aura (Purple)]

Effect 1: After obtaining the alchemy pigment through mixing, it is automatically entered into the database.

Afterwards, alchemical pigments from the database can be condensed by consuming mental energy or ether.

(The higher the 'ether concentration' of the specified alchemical pigment, the more energy is required for condensation.)

[Effect 2: Your alchemical talent and intuition are linked to the 'Mystic' attribute.]

The higher the "Mystery" attribute, the stronger the alchemy talent.

Furthermore, when examining various materials, there is a higher chance of discovering the role that material can play in alchemical pigments.

(All previously prepared alchemical pigments have been entered into the database for this entry.)

[The character 'Main Class - Alchemist' has already been detected]

[Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent] is now activated.

[The bonus effect is building up...]

Is it able to bind together the pigments it has mastered?

Looking at the information on the panel, An Su immediately became interested.

Although the method for enabling the soul to absorb ether has not yet been mastered.

However... you cannot expend mental energy on entries.

An Su thought to herself.

Previous tests have shown that mental strength is linked to physical energy.

If you squander your mental energy, the efficiency of creating new alchemical pigment formulas and practicing breathing techniques will decrease.

It will only recover after rest and sleep.

If one were to expend mental energy merely to test the effects of certain terms, it would seem rather wasteful.

For this reason, Ansu did not use his mental power.

Instead, she rummaged through her handbag and took out a small box.

It was not the special box containing an inner space that Sandru had previously provided.

It was actually a box specifically designed to store special alchemical pigments.

Followed by.

With a flick of his finger, Ansu opened the thumb-sized box.

A piece of gold pigment, slightly smaller than the box and resembling the color of blueberries, appeared before Ansu's eyes.

It is the same as ordinary alchemy pigments.

This alchemical pigment also contains traces of ether.

However, the concentration of ether is higher.

It is even several times more than other alchemical pigments currently in Ansu's possession.

In addition to that.

The alchemical pigment was still slowly absorbing the ether particles contained in the surrounding environment.

This allows its own ether concentration to gradually increase on its own.

This is the ability that Ansu bestowed upon this alchemical pigment: absorption.

It absorbs ether from the surrounding environment.

It will also be more convenient to use Ansu.

A short while later.

Several pieces of information reappeared on the panel:

The bonus effects of the "Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent" have been fully realized.

[Main Class - Alchemist]

[Bonus Effect 1: Alchemy pigments are entered into the database and reproduced by consuming ether or mental energy.]

The effect can be increased by an additional 5%.

[Bonus Effect 2: When crafting new types of alchemical pigments, the 'Mystic' attribute gained is increased by an additional 15%]

[Bonus Effect 3: After the 'Constitution' attribute is improved, the Alchemy Talent will also receive a slight boost.]

(Specifically, when handling alchemy materials, there is a higher chance of perceiving the role that material plays in alchemy pigments.)

"After improving physical fitness, will it also improve alchemical talent?"

Look at the third bonus effect.

Ansu decided to spend more time in the cemetery filled with the aura of the dead.

This accelerates the absorption of the aura of the dead, thereby also speeding up the improvement of physical attributes.

"But before that, let's test the effect of the new term first."

Ansu thought to herself.

The bonus effect of the [Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent] is now complete.

Ansu immediately activated the [Entry - Pigment Aura (Purple)].

And selected 【Alchemy Pigment - Frost Blue】 from the database.

This refers to the first alchemy pigment formulated by Ansu.

A few moments later, some new characters appeared on the panel.

[Alternative pigment selected - Frost Blue]

[Alchemy Pigment Formula Ether Concentration: 0.2]

[Condensation Progress: 0%]

(The amount of ether consumed in condensing alchemical pigments = the ether concentration of the alchemical pigment recipe * 10)

One ether particle represents 0.01 points of ether.

Looking at the information on the panel, Ansu was somewhat puzzled.

No message?

How do I inject ether into the entry?

After confirming that there was no other useful information, Ansu began to think rapidly, letting her mind wander.

Suddenly, Ansu thought of something.

For ordinary people, ether does not exist.

For me, and for many others who have used [Ether Probe Alchemy Pigment]

Ether exists.

However, the panel does not exist for others.

It cannot be seen or perceived.

But for me... this panel does exist.

Ansu vaguely felt that she had found her direction.

So he tentatively began to interfere with the ether in his surroundings.

This caused it to drift towards the panel.

When reaching the area with [Condensation Progress: 0%]

Many of the ether particles that had been interfered with by Ansu immediately disappeared.

The cohesion progress has also increased from '0%' to '1.5%'.

"Just as I thought."

Ansu successfully confirmed his earlier suspicions.

However, it did not continue to interfere with the ether in the surrounding environment.

Instead, it invoked the ether stored within the alchemical pigments.

Each time an interference with the ether particles occurs, a small amount of mental energy is required.

It can only interfere with the ether within a specific area.

Instead of wasting mental energy, try to grasp the ether that is floating in the environment.

It would be better to directly capture the ether particles collected through the pigments.

As Ansu had a thought.

Hundreds of ether particles immediately broke free from the pigment's binding.

Then it floated towards the panel.

The condensation progress is also getting faster and faster.

[30%]

[50%]

[70%]

【…】

[100%]

The words "Condensation Complete" then appeared on the panel.

Seeing this, Ansu took an empty box out of her bag.

A faint light flashed by.

After a while.

A thumb-sized, crystal-clear blue pigment, resembling a gemstone, appeared within.

A cold sensation traveled through the box and into Ansu's palm.

It was the same alchemical pigment called "Frost Blue" that Ansu had previously chosen.

"The sensation it transmitted was also enhanced by my mysterious attributes."

The utilization rate of the materials also reached 100%.

Sensing the information transmitted by [Alchemy Pigment - Frost Blue].

Ansu immediately realized the power of the [Entry - Pigment Aura (Purple)].

This entry has been created.

The tolerance for errors in constructing alchemical pigments will be further improved.

The efficiency of enhancing mysterious attributes will also increase significantly.

Thinking of this, Ansu glanced at the attribute panel.

[Physical Constitution: 2.72, Mental Strength: 4, Mysticism: 4.15]

The non-integer attribute of 【Mystery】 is obtained by practicing the "Death Breathing Technique".

The decimal part of the [Mysterious] attribute is obtained by constructing alchemical pigment recipes.

This is the alchemical pigment called "Ether-Collecting Pigment" that Ansu used when collecting ether particles.

But apart from that.

Ansu also developed several alchemical formulas.

But it all just exists in my mind.

Even though they had the relevant materials, they couldn't mix them up.

Therefore, they were unable to gain more of the [Mysterious] attribute through this.

Only by mixing the alchemical pigments represented by the formula can this be achieved.

Only then can it truly be regarded as the formation of corresponding extraordinary knowledge.

This allows ether to be integrated into the concept of knowledge, transforming it into mystical knowledge.

Previously, due to a lack of extraordinary materials and insufficient proficiency in [Knowledge - Alchemy Pigment Mixing], I had not mastered them.

Therefore, he did not choose to immediately reproduce the numerous alchemical pigments.

But the situation is different now.

With this ability.

I can then access rare and extraordinary materials.

It is transformed into a material-type alchemy pigment that can be applied to any type of alchemy formula, but cannot produce special effects.

Then the [Entry - Pigment Aura (Purple)] will come into play.

This allows for the creation of corresponding material-type alchemical pigments by consuming ether.

Then, this mixture is used to formulate more high-grade alchemical pigments.

Thinking of this.

Ansu sensed the blood stored in a small bottle within the spatial alchemy artifact.

Blood containing the bloodline of dragons.
