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

Abandoned experimental site, black market.

The trolls were selling corpses in the street.

The goblins pieced together the bones of giant lizard monsters to form the shape of a bone dragon, disguising it as the skeleton of a dragon-blooded creature.

Centaurs, in large groups, hunted mutated monsters of unknown origin with bows and spears.

The rats, lurking in the corners, watched the passersby, searching for a suitable target to strike...

Ansu, meanwhile, moved through this chaotic area.

'As expected, there are quite a few things that can be used as alchemy materials. I made the right choice coming here.'

Ansu thought to herself.

With a decent level of mystery attribute, and the talent related to alchemical pigments brought by the mystery attribute.

Ansu could sense the nature of many of the materials.

Even if you touch it to explore the effect of the material.

Furthermore, one can uncover more information through the additional alchemical pigment talent granted by the constitution attribute.

Even if we don't buy them all.

By purchasing a portion of the materials, one can create more variations or enhanced versions of alchemy pigments based on existing alchemy pigment formulas.

Even after the alchemy recipe obtained from Sandru is analyzed, it will still provide a significant boost.

So Ansu devised alchemy formulas related to the materials while simultaneously engaging in bartering.

At the same time, he was also distracted by another matter related to the black market.

According to information previously obtained from the Gravekeeper Lyle.

In the heart of the Black Market stands a building protected by wizards, primarily engaged in the recycling of extraordinary resources.

Ansu knew that many wizards, in addition to their experiments, also ran related businesses.

Just like the cemetery hotel that Sandro prepared for the wizarding apprentices of the School of Souls.

The building in the center of the Black City was also the property of another official wizard.

It's a pity that the [Extraordinary Resource Recycling Center] cannot directly barter like a black market vendor.

After selling resources, you will receive a currency called Soul Coin, which contains concentrated soul energy.

Next, based on the list provided by the [Extraordinary Resource Recycling Center], you can exchange for nearly a thousand extraordinary resources using Soul Coins.

However... even without exchanging for extraordinary resources.

Soul coins alone can play a significant role in alchemical pigments.

Before heading to the [Extraordinary Resource Recycling Center], you should first collect as many various materials as possible from black market vendors.

Ansu pondered this, and then continued to linger among the various vendors in the black market.

They make one or two transactions every now and then.

The amount of material we have is not reduced.

And it's still increasing.

After all, Ansu rarely gives away extraordinary materials or paints when trading with vendors.

Instead, they used the method of obtaining the Bone Shepherd's position from the souls of wild wizards as a bargaining chip.

In exchange for extraordinary resources.

Traders can also sense that this knowledge contains ether, so they don't publicize it.

Instead, they would hide away and practice and find employment on their own.

"However, I doubt this situation can be hidden for long."

An Su thought to herself.

"If they discover that even if they do nothing, the ether concentration will continue to decrease..."

This would cause panic.

Then more people will follow my lead and actively sell the job opportunities for bone shepherds.

The frequency of ether concentration decreases will increase again until it can decrease as much as possible.

To reach a level of 0.01, similar to the breathing technique used in the "Death Breathing Method."

Each time it is sold, Ansu will adjust the mask and body shape with paint.

This is to prevent arousing suspicion from others.

Until another hour later.

After Ansu sold hundreds more copies in this way, some vendors who were again investigating the concentration of ether noticed something was wrong.

So, in order to recoup their costs, they also made copies, just like Ansu.

Then they started selling them everywhere.

Seeing that even though she hadn't done anything, the concentration of ether in the "Shepherd's Job Manual" was still decreasing, Ansu nodded in satisfaction.

"I no longer need to do it myself."

And the materials have been collected almost completely.

Thinking of this, Ansu checked her soul space again.

At this moment, on the land of the soul space, all kinds of extraordinary materials are piled up into a small mountain.

Among them are also some books that record extraordinary knowledge.

Meanwhile, the miniature dragon head with bony wings, named "Cast-Colored Dead Skull," is being sorted.

From time to time, a large amount of materials and knowledge are transferred to other areas.

"After we return, we can use these materials to create a variety of new types of alchemical pigments."

Ether will also be incorporated into the corresponding knowledge, thereby enhancing my mystical attributes.

It can even modify the unicorn horn that it previously obtained from Ryan.

Then combine it with the [Profession - Bone Shepherd] represented by the [Entry - Body of Ten Thousand Bones (Green)].

This will give Shadow Dragon an additional boost.

However, before that, you must first go to the [Supernatural Resource Recycling Center].

Soul coins also come in handy when mixing alchemical pigments.

Despite this thought, Ansu did not intend to sell too many extraordinary materials.

After all, these materials are more useful to him than he is to exchange them for Soul Coins.

Therefore.

Ansu only intended to sell materials that were not very useful to him or that could not be easily used to mix alchemy pigments.

And sell some of the alchemical pigments he had previously mixed, as well as those obtained from the entries.

Before arriving at the black market, Ansu had also stored a considerable amount of alchemical pigments.

A significant portion of these were mixed during practice to improve proficiency in [Knowledge - Alchemy Pigment Mixing].

"My mystical attributes, which represent my talent for occultism, are not low."

Whether it's manually mixed alchemical pigments or created by consuming ether through the use of entries.

They will all receive additional bonuses due to their mysterious attributes.

The price will inevitably increase further.

Ansu thought for a moment, then used the paint he had applied to his mask and robe to create another layer of disguise.

Then they continued walking towards the [Extraordinary Resource Recycling Center], located in the center of the Black Market and protected by official wizards.

But they haven't even reached their destination yet.

Thanks to his enhanced physical attributes, Ansu felt a warning coming from his body.

He noticed a gaze watching him from behind.

And it wasn't just a glance; they were watching him all the time.

No matter which direction you walk, the view never disappears.

Who's targeting me?

Is this another case of the wild wizard faction behind the Bone Shepherd?

Ansu felt the possibility was not very high.

After all, he had already disguised his appearance with paint.

Besides.

When changing their disguise, they also interfere with their own aura by taking out the aura of the dead from the soul space or by applying new types of pigments.

Ordinary people cannot notice the connections between his many pseudonyms.

There were no mistakes in the disguise of aura and appearance.

That's most likely due to other reasons.
