Wizard: My Skills Can Infinitely Break Through

5. ...

He paused his writing here.

These materials were difficult to find. A Tier Three Earth Monarch was a powerful Magic Beast, comparable to a Level Three Wizard.

Hunting one to obtain its complete Heart Blood Essence... The difficulty was extremely high. Then there was the Tier Three Rock Dragon, which was just as rare.

The Earth Vein Flower only grew in places with the most concentrated Earth Vein nodes and was protected by powerful guardian creatures.

The Thousand-year-old Stone Heart Vine, however, could be obtained through Ashia’s channels, so it wasn’t too difficult to acquire.

Ian put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

His mind raced, integrating and extrapolating from all the information.

Seven Tier Two formulas, one manual for the *Bloodline Tablet Press*, and two Neutralizer formulas.

And then there were the fragments of ancient memory he had just seen through *Original Blood Origin Tracing*.

All the clues pointed to a single conclusion.

’The Tier Three Bloodline Potion I’ve devised... It’s completely feasible!’

’But it will require time, resources, and... a great deal of experimentation.’

’No need to rush... First, I’ll convert the resources I have on hand into power.’

Ian muttered to himself, his gaze falling on the bottle of Tier Three Earth Monarch Blood Essence on the laboratory bench.

’Even though there’s only one bottle, I can... start with its Purification.’

’Then I’ll use *Original Blood Origin Tracing* to further activate the Rule Fragments within it, preparing for the subsequent Refining.’

He sat up straight again and hovered his hands over the Crystal Bottle.

He activated the *Bloodline Purification Technique* again, this time with even greater care.

Dark red Energy Threads, like the finest scalpels, seeped into the Blood Essence.

They began to strip away impurities and activate the dormant Rule Fragments.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Inside the Laboratory, there was only the faint hum of flowing Energy. Gaga perched quietly on Ian’s shoulder, watching.

It knew Ian was doing something very important and must not be disturbed.

「Evening fell as the sun began to set.」

Ian finished the Purification and carefully sealed the processed Blood Essence in a special Crystal Bottle.

The phantom mountain range inside was a little clearer than before, and the Rule Fluctuations were more active.

WHOOSH...

He let out a long breath and stretched his limbs.

Several consecutive hours of high-intensity Purification had consumed a great deal of his Spiritual Power.

”Ian! Ian!”

Gaga suddenly flew up, grabbing his collar with its small claws, its eyes filled with irrepressible excitement.

”What’s wrong?” Ian asked, looking at it.

”This afternoon, in the Shadow World... I found a place!”

Gaga’s eyes were terrifyingly bright, like two drops of boiling mercury.

”What kind of place?”

Ian was a little curious. The little guy had high standards and wasn’t interested in ordinary treasures.

”An... ore vein!”

Gaga flapped its wings and flew a lap around the Laboratory.

”A Shadow Crystal Ore Vein! It’s right on the edge of the Shadow World, very close to the real world!”

”I snuck closer for a look. The ore vein is huge, and the quality of the crystals is... about the same as what I usually eat, gaga!”

”In some places, the Energy Fluctuations are even stronger!”

Ian’s pupils contracted slightly. ’A Shadow Crystal Ore Vein...’

It was a specialty of the Shadow World and would be of immense help for Gaga’s advancement.

If they could mine it, it would be more than enough not only for reaching the Tier Two Late Stage but even for breaking through to Tier Three.

”It’s just... there’s something guarding the ore vein.”

Gaga’s voice dropped.

”What is it?”

”I couldn’t see it clearly...” Gaga shook its head, a sharp glint flashing in its small eyes.

”It’s hidden deep in the Shadows. Its aura is very strong... probably about the same as Elder Darcy’s, but not as strong as you, gaga.”

”I didn’t dare get too close for fear of being discovered.”

Ian’s eyes narrowed slightly as he began to think.

’A peak Tier Three Shadow Creature... guarding a Shadow Crystal Ore Vein.’

’That’s normal. Precious resources are always protected by powerful creatures.’

”Did you remember the location?” Ian asked.

”I did, gaga!” Gaga nodded emphatically.

”I can take you there, but... you have to be careful. It’s very alert and will notice if you get even a little bit closer.”

Ian nodded, a plan already forming in his mind.

”We’ll take the ore vein, of course, but we can’t be hasty. We need to make some preparations.”

’I’ll need to prepare some sufficiently powerful Concealment methods and also account for any unexpected situations.’

While his own plans were proceeding in an orderly fashion, his projection in the Profound Yellow World was also making rapid progress.

Over the past two years, Wei Song had grown from a Level One Awakener into a Level Three Grandmaster Superpower User.

He had completed over a hundred high-risk missions, killing more than two hundred Level Two Mutants and three Level Three Mutants.

In total, he had obtained two hundred and seventeen Source Crystal Fragments and three complete Source Crystals, all of which were used to break through to new Realms.

As his Superpower Level increased, his consumption of Source Crystals also grew larger and larger.

[Name: Wei Song (Projection)]

[Realm: Level Three Grandmaster, Initial Stage (5%)]

[Superpower Rule: Thermal Energy Control → High Temperature Domain]

[Rule Mastery: 12%]

[Potential Assessment: High]

[High Temperature Domain: 1. Compressed Thermonuclear Core, maximum temperature 5,000 degrees.

2. High Temperature Domain: Can deploy a high-temperature field with a 100-meter radius, temperature is adjustable. Derived abilities: ”Thermal Perception,” ”Hot Melt Cutting.”]

Every time Wei Song broke through, a faint Rule Perception would be transmitted back.

Over more than two months, Ian’s understanding of Thermal Energy Control had become increasingly clear.

’Once Wei Song breaks through to the Legend Realm, I’ll definitely be able to fully fuse the four Rules. By then, all preparations should be mostly complete, and I’ll be able to cross over to the Profound Yellow World...’

Ian muttered to himself, his thoughts returning to the present as he looked at Gaga.

”Let’s keep the matter of the ore vein quiet for now. We’ll go together once I’m fully prepared.”

”Mhm!” Gaga nodded its little head vigorously.

Ian stood up and began to pace back and forth, contemplating his subsequent plans and arrangements.

Titus’s condition was stable, but he still needed time for his Awakening.

Aidele’s position as the first heir was a sure thing, so he didn’t need to worry about that anymore.

’It’s just... Lucian has already set off for the Half-Plane exploration in the Land of Chaos, accompanied by three other Level Three Wizards.’

’Hopefully, he’ll bring back a Void Condensed Core and a Phase Core. Those materials are needed to upgrade the Two-Realm Phase Analyzer.’

’And also... the resources for Gaga’s advancement to Tier Three. If the Half-Plane really has them...’

Ian stopped pacing and returned to the laboratory bench. There was still so much to do.

Improve his Rule Perception, perform the Blood Essence Purification, research the Tier Three Neutralizing Potion.

Prepare for the expedition into the Shadow World, and wait for news from the Half-Plane.

’It’s just that time... is a bit tight.’

”One step at a time. We’ll get there eventually.”

Ian muttered to himself, it was unclear if he was speaking to himself or to his distant projection.

Night fell, and darkness completely enveloped Wisteria Lane.
