Chapter 575: Longevity Medicine

Jie Ming stood in front of the experiment, with dozens of research notes spread out before him.

This was the result of a full month he had spent systematically organizing his harvest from the Information Plane.

"For now, the harvest from the last plane war has been organized just about..."

Jie Ming checked these notes, a thoughtful light flashing in his eyes.

During this time, he had stored the 500-plus Entropy Brains in categories, practiced the activation process of the Extinction Form hundreds of times, and organized the manufacturing process of the 4th-tier Rune Wizard Tools into a standard procedure to be handed over to the Black Giant priests for mass production.

It could be said that everything was going very smoothly.

However, after things quieted down, Jie Ming discovered another thing he hadn't noticed before:

His alchemy was about to break through.

Jie Ming closed his eyes, sensing the Ring of Truth deep within his spiritual sea.

When he was promoted to a formal wizard, the three core wizard spells he relied on to construct the Ring of Truth were taken from the three most basic schools: Alchemy's Alchemy, Runology's Analysis, and Potionology's Extraction.

The Jie Ming of that time was ambitious, attempting to master all three basic schools of wizards.

But as his learning deepened, he also knew how ridiculous his initial thoughts had been.

However, this didn't mean Jie Ming had given up on learning these three schools.

Alchemy, as his major, was constantly upgrading, even reaching the level of being able to synthesize simple organic matter and influence the soul within a certain limit.

Later, he used Analysis as the main body, combined with Alchemy and Extraction, to sublimate a new wizard spell—the Eye of Universality.

That became his most important auxiliary means.

And now, he could clearly feel that with the blessing of the Fate System, Alchemy had finally touched the edge of a breakthrough.

That feeling was very strange; when Jie Ming used Alchemy, he could clearly feel that he still had spare energy, but he just couldn't go any deeper.

"Still a little bit off..."

Jie Ming opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.

Under normal circumstances, an ordinary alchemy wizard had to reach the level of a high-tier wizard—that is, 6th-tier or above—to master the top-level alchemy standard.

The sign of that level was: being able to easily manufacture complete life forms and souls.

Creating life from nothing.

That was the ultimate realm of alchemy.

Jie Ming's current computing power, with the assistance of the Fate System, had reached the standard of a 6th-tier wizard.

Logically speaking, he should have the ability to touch that level.

But when actually attempting it, he always felt inadequate.

"It's a flaw in my knowledge."

He quickly made a judgment.

Computing power was enough, experience was enough, but the relevant knowledge reserve was still lacking.

Alchemy was different from other disciplines; it was too complex.

Material conversion, energy balance, life construction, soul origin... every branch required a massive amount of knowledge to support it.

Although his harvest in the Information Plane was rich, it was mainly concentrated in the two fields of "entropy reduction" and "information manipulation."

He still had to make up for the knowledge needed for alchemy.

"So what should I learn next?"

Jie Ming paced in the laboratory, quickly searching for the weak links in his knowledge system in his mind.

A moment later, he stopped pacing.

"Longevity Medicine."

Longevity Medicine, one of the most classic, ancient, and complex potions in the wizard civilization.

Its effect was simple: fixing the state of the body and soul, and even rejuvenating them to a certain extent.

For wizards, lifespan had never been a big problem.

A 1st-tier formal wizard had a lifespan between 1,000 and 1,500 years.

As the level increased, the lifespan would continuously increase. High-tier wizards living for tens of thousands of years was not a problem.

But compared to cultivators, it was far behind.

In the cultivation system, the Golden Core Stage could achieve physical immortality, and the Nascent Soul Stage possessed infinite lifespan.

That realm of "living as long as heaven and earth" was something wizards couldn't imagine.

But wizards were also not troubled by lifespan.

Those skilled in biochemical technology could perform body modifications on themselves, significantly extending their lifespan by replacing aging organs or transforming their entire body into elemental or even mechanical forms.

And those wizards who didn't like modifying their own bodies, or weren't very skilled in biochemical technology, would choose Longevity Medicine. Taking it once every thousand years could keep the body and soul in a peak state.

If they encountered major damage, they would just take another dose.

For many alchemy wizards above 6th-tier, refining Longevity Medicine was their most important source of income.

"Being able to influence both the body and soul, the refining technology of Longevity Medicine is indeed suitable for me now..."

The refining of Longevity Medicine involved knowledge of both the body and soul.

The construction of the body, cell division, solidification of the soul, stability of the spiritual sea... these were exactly the parts most lacking in his current alchemy knowledge system.

If he could learn to refine Longevity Medicine, not only could he make up for this shortcoming in alchemy, but he could also gain a skill to make money.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Jie Ming no longer hesitated, raised his hand to tap the Magic Network terminal, and entered the expeditionary force's internal trading platform.

Search for "Longevity Medicine Refining Knowledge."

The results popped up instantly.

【Longevity Medicine Refining Guide (Basic Version) - Price: 8 million low-tier military merits】

【Longevity Medicine Refining Advanced Tutorial (Including Failure Case Analysis) - Price: 15 million low-tier military merits】

【Longevity Medicine Raw Material Identification and Procurement Guide - Price: 3 million low-tier military merits】

【Longevity Medicine Refining Insights of a 6th-tier Alchemist (Handwritten Manuscript) - Price: 50 million low-tier military merits】

【Complete Set of Longevity Medicine Refining Knowledge Package (Including Extra Gifts) - Price: 100 million low-tier military merits】

Jie Ming's mouth twitched.

It wasn't that the price was too high, but that the price was a bit too low.

High-tier technology of this level should normally only be purchasable with high-tier military merits.

But now it could actually be bought with low-tier military merits, and the prices were all so cheap...

It seemed the senior wizards had indeed dug the profits of Longevity Medicine in all aspects to the limit, but this was even more to Jie Ming's liking; such mature technology meant that its corresponding prerequisite disciplines were prepared very perfectly.

"Alright, I take back what I said before; it seems I don't need to think about making money with this thing in the short term..."

Fortunately, Jie Ming wasn't short on low-tier military merits.

Buy!

He clicked "Complete Set of Longevity Medicine Refining Knowledge Package" and paid.

【Payment Successful】

【Deducted low-tier military merits: 100,000,000】

【Remaining low-tier military merits...】

Jie Ming took a look at the number and closed the interface directly.

The knowledge package was transmitted quickly.

A massive amount of data poured into his Magic Network terminal, and the table of contents alone displayed hundreds of pages.

Jie Ming casually clicked on a document titled "Overview of Longevity Medicine Raw Materials," and dense text and images instantly filled the light screen.

"This thing will be enough to study for a while."

He smiled and began to bury himself in reading. ===== CHAPTER 576 =====
