Chapter 762: Determination, Ancient Wood Life Extension

"I didn't find anything!"

"I didn't find anything either!"

"I just projected as a Drow, and before I could even adapt to the state of the projected body, I was mistaken for being under the mental control of a hostile force and was killed outright. Even now, I can still feel a chill on my neck; what a truly brutal race!"

"I projected as a farmer, and before I could even retrieve my Magic, I died in an Orc ambush."

"I was lucky this time; I projected directly as a Mage Apprentice, but the era was quite early, still in the age of the Elven Magic System. I was just spreading knowledge of the Arcane Magic System when the Projection Plane dissolved."

"Is your projected body named Lulunka? I projected as a farmer, and while still in the countryside, I heard of the reputation of Master Lulunka. It's just that I had only been projected for an hour and hadn't had time to take any action before the Projection Plane dissolved."

"It was me. It's just a pity that the plane dissolved too quickly; if only it could have lasted a while longer."

"Sigh!"

Seeing that the Xiu Xi Shi was about to turn into a projection experience sharing session, Yousina'er hurriedly interrupted them, "I say, did you guys actually find any Life Extension Spell or not?!"

The crowd looked at each other in dismay and fell silent. Only one Pioneer of the Projection Plane, who looked quite young, hesitated for a moment and spoke up:

"I accidentally flipped through a Spellbook written in Elvish in the Projection Plane. There was a spell in it that is very likely related to longevity, but I only remember some of the details."

"Really?!"

And it was an Elf Magic spell at that. Yousina'er's eyes lit up instantly. Currently, the Tower of Wisdom had collected quite a few Life Extension Spells, but they were all created by human Mages based on the Netheril Magic System. Aside from a few extreme ones, most of the Principles were similar.

But if it were an Elf Magic spell, perhaps the teacher could use it to create a brand-new Life Extension Spell. Thinking of this, Yousina'er hurriedly said:

"It doesn't matter, having some details is enough. I believe the teacher will definitely be able to complete it. Hurry up and recall it, hurry up and write it down; I need to take it to show the teacher."

After saying this, he stared at the other person with burning eyes, as if he were going to watch them finish writing.

Before long, Yousina'er took the partially transcribed material of the suspected Elven Life Extension Spell to find Weide. At this moment, he couldn't care about disturbing the teacher's rest; he was already impatient to share this good news with the teacher.

If it could truly be completed and used to create a brand-new Life Extension Spell, then not only the teacher, but he himself would also benefit immensely.

On the way, Yousina'er also roughly looked over the content transcribed by the young man. With his mastery of Magic, it was not hard to see that this unknown spell, which only had partial details, was indeed an Elf Magic spell, and it was indeed related to the human body.

As for whether it could extend life, he was not entirely certain, but at the very least, he could be sure of one thing: this spell could act as a palliative for the teacher's increasingly worsening physical condition.

When Yousina'er walked into Weide's Study, he was still stunned for a moment. The teacher was not resting, but was casting a spell to adjust something, which made his worry about disturbing the teacher's rest lessen somewhat.

But at the same time, it also made him place more expectations on the material in his hand, hoping only that this material would be useful to the teacher.

"Teacher, a Pioneer recorded some material that might be related to a Life Extension Spell."

"Oh? Bring it here for me to see."

Yousina'er did not use Magic, but walked up personally, smoothed out the few sheets of Wood Pulp Paper that he had crumpled in his grip, and handed them to the teacher.

Weide took the paper casually and didn't think much of it at first. He knew his student was concerned for him, but the Tower of Wisdom already had too many Life Extension Spells, and those spells had long since become ineffective for him.

Unless he tried those extreme ones, but that was not what he truly hoped for. If he could accept becoming non-human, then why couldn't he accept Kelifu's 【Life Prolonging Technique】!

Weide believed that compared to those extreme Life Extension Spells, Kelifu's 【Life Prolonging Technique】 might even be more in line with his wishes!

But just as he had said to Yousina'er before, the life of a mortal must be fought for by mortals themselves; this was his conviction, and it would not be retreated from.

After finishing the first page, Weide's expression changed slightly, and he put away that trace of casualness. By the time he finished reading the entire content, the expression on his face had vanished completely:

"Not bad, it is indeed related to a Life Extension Spell, and it is more than just a Life Extension Spell."

Hearing the teacher's judgment, Yousina'er felt a surge of joy, but then he heard the teacher's voice, devoid of any emotion—

"There should be other content, right? Go and call that Pioneer over! I have questions for him!"

Yousina'er felt a shock in his heart; such words had appeared a few times in his memory. He dared not hesitate and hurriedly agreed.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the teacher speak again: "You know what to say and what to do, right!"

Yousina'er's heart sank, "I know!"

Afterward, he slowly backed out of Weide's Study.

On the way back to the Xiu Xi Shi attached to the Dome Hall, Yousina'er felt a tightness in his chest. At this moment, he could only hope that the Pioneer had deliberately withheld some information, rather than not remembering it.

If it were the former, nothing would happen to that Pioneer, but if it were the latter, then the result would not be what Yousina'er wished to see.

He knew that although his teacher was very friendly and easygoing most of the time, he absolutely did not lack the determination for coldness, decisiveness, and even bloodshed and slaughter, especially when it involved ideals and convictions.

Life extension was naturally included in that.

Yousina'er knew that he would never be able to do what his teacher did, but on the path of pursuing the same ideal, he also did not think the teacher was wrong; some things were destined to require sacrifice.

Yousina'er took that still-young Pioneer away in the name of the teacher's commendation, but when he saw the envious looks in the eyes of the other Projection Plane Pioneers, his heart still couldn't help but tremble.

Arriving at the teacher's Study, Yousina'er let the young man go in. He himself did not enter, and it was not until a moment later when the teacher called him that he walked in.

After entering the Study, Yousina'er subconsciously observed his surroundings. At this time, there was not the slightest trace of the young man from just a moment ago in the Study, which made his heart sink; another sacrifice!

But he quickly adjusted his emotions. Of course, this concealment of his was not enough to fool a Great Arcanist proficient in mind spells, but Weide did not expose him, instead saying in a heavy tone:

"It is a pity; his consciousness did not survive my memory retrieval. Our cause has one more sacrifice, but I believe his sacrifice was not in vain."

"Yes, his sacrifice was not in vain!" Yousina'er repeated in a low voice.

"Our cause will surely be realized! Everything is Supreme for Arcane!"

"Everything is Supreme for Arcane!"

Soon, the Study fell silent. A moment later, Weide picked up a thick notebook from the desk, handed it to Yousina'er, and exhorted:

"The native Elf Magic 【Ancient Wood Life Extension】, send it to the Library. Those with Permission Level 3 or above may read it at will, but it is advised that non-Arcanists do not study it privately. Later, I will adjust it into an Arcane Magic version."

"Yes."

Yousina'er nodded, then departed.
