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

Looking at the prompts on the panel, Ansu was slightly surprised.

What is the effect of knowledge extraction?

It's finally triggered.

Ansu had thought that after receiving the bonus from the [Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent],

Before long, he will gain new extraordinary knowledge.

Unexpectedly, this is the first time the additional effect has been triggered.

"I guess my current strength is too weak, and the gap between me and the wizards represented by these corpses is too large."

Perhaps after I improve my attributes for a while, my efficiency in acquiring knowledge will increase again.

Ansu thought to herself.

Then continue looking at the entry panel.

A short while later.

After the three dots in "Extracting..." jumped around for a while, new characters appeared on the panel:

[Extraction Complete]

[Knowledge - Making Cemetery Candles for the Dead]

Ether concentration: 3

The etheric concentration of this knowledge is lower than its own mystical properties, and it falls within its comprehensible and tolerable range.

Get it now?

"confirm."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ansu immediately chose to acquire it.

The moment the selection was made, a large amount of new knowledge immediately flooded my mind.

The method of mixing the aura of the dead into animal fat.

A method for extracting the fire element contained within flames.

Methods for adjusting the nature of the soul...

A variety of different types of knowledge are brought together in a single drawing.

This led to the creation method of the [Undead Cemetery Candle].

"Simply store the soul in the [Undead Graveyard Candle]."

Then, the ether is invoked to gather at the wick.

A flame containing a rich fire element will be born.

The soul will then merge with this special flame.

This transforms it into something possessing both ghostly and fire elemental characteristics...

A ghostly candlelight.

After thinking for a moment, Ansu felt that this ability wouldn't be of much use to her.

After all, the pigment dragon he created using alchemical pigments had no soul.

Essentially, it is just a slightly special alchemical golem that can only exist temporarily.

Even with a necromantic graveyard candle, it cannot be transformed into a half-fire elemental, half-ghost candle phantom.

And Ansu does indeed have a soul.

However, I don't plan to use it on myself.

"Although the necropolis candles aren't very useful to me, I can still learn from their underlying principles."

This allows it to be used to create new alchemical pigments, and it can even be combined with the shadow element provided by the Shadow Dagger.

This allows it to exert even greater power.

Ansu thought to herself.

The construction method of the necropolis candle was then broken down into multiple knowledge points.

Then they began to try to combine it with their existing knowledge of alchemy pigments in order to create more new types of alchemy pigments.

In the process of continuously developing and testing gold pigments.

Ansu's proficiency in [Knowledge - Alchemy Pigment Construction] and [Knowledge - Virtual Painting] is increasing.

Besides.

While digging up and burying corpses in the cemetery, one's proficiency in [Knowledge - Shovel Usage] also increases accordingly.

The job requirements for the advanced profession - Suicide Painter are getting closer and closer.

Perhaps it won't be long.

Once I've mastered all three areas of knowledge, I'll be able to use them to create alchemical pigments related to the undead.

This fulfills the requirements for the advanced profession - Suicide Painter.

This directly grants access to the shared superior professions of Burial Master and Alchemist.

...

In the process of constantly digging up and burying corpses, Ansu also gained more free attribute points.

Until I had saved up another free attribute point.

As before.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ansu immediately added the attribute point to the Mysterious attribute.

This allowed him to further enhance his occult talents and his abilities related to alchemical pigments.

The progress towards successfully creating alchemical pigments related to the undead is getting closer and closer.

The basic framework has been completed.

Only a few minor challenges remain to overcome before multiple areas of knowledge can be integrated into the formula for a single alchemical pigment.

Fortunately, Ansu would visit Sandru’s alchemy workshop every now and then.

Then, through Sandru's explanation, I gained more knowledge and skills related to alchemical pigments.

This led to the gradual refinement of the gold pigment formula.

a few days later.

After finishing her studies at the alchemy workshop, Ansu was preparing to return to her dormitory as usual.

This allows them to validate their newly acquired knowledge, thereby improving the efficiency of creating new pigments.

However, it is not entirely the same as the previous situation.

After explaining the extraordinary knowledge related to alchemical pigments for the day, Sandru did not immediately return to the laboratory.

Instead, he swept his murky, emotionless eyes over the many people burying corpses in the alchemy workshop, and then spoke:

"I will conduct another test in 5 days."

This will test your aptitude for mysticism and your talent related to alchemical pigments.

If the test result is first place.

Then you can get a certificate to attend the hearing.

Those who hold the certificate may choose to audit one of the college's basic extraordinary knowledge courses.

besides..."

Sandru paused, then continued:

"According to information I received not long ago, the Academy has found another large plane."

Furthermore, the interdimensional channel will soon be opened.

Therefore, the number of participants in this entrance examination will definitely increase significantly, and the content and difficulty of the examination may also change.

Therefore, if you pass the test I set up in 5 days, you will receive an alchemy recipe with an ether concentration of 5.

If the test result is first place.

You will also receive an extra alchemical pigment recipe that I created, with an ether concentration of 15.

And the corresponding alchemical materials.

"Ether concentration 15 points?"

Ansu immediately became interested when Sandru described the assessment rewards.

After all, the etheric concentration of his occult knowledge wasn't very high.

The highest score was only 3 points.

Moreover, this knowledge about the necromantic cemetery candles was obtained while exhuming corpses.

The ether concentration contained in the rest of the mystical knowledge generally hovers between 0.01 and 2.

If one obtains this knowledge...

Even if it's impossible to mix the corresponding pigment immediately, or to know the full principles of pigment production.

By extracting only a portion of the principles, it is possible to apply them to the creation of new types of pigments.

This led to a significant improvement in all of my abilities.

After that, the probability of passing the college entrance examination will also increase.

Moreover, auditing courses is also very beneficial.

Perhaps this will open up more career opportunities and help me overcome my weaknesses.

Ansu thought to herself.

After saying what he needed to say, Sandru didn't waste any more time.

He immediately left the alchemy workshop and returned to his laboratory.

Ansu did not linger any longer.

And they are preparing to apply the newly acquired knowledge to the creation of their own alchemical pigment formulas.

It can also improve your proficiency in mixing knowledge-based alchemy pigments.

But before they could return to the accommodation area, they were stopped by a voice again.
