End of the Magic Era

Lin Yun calmly completed the alchemy experiment he was working on, his expression not changing in the slightest. Morgan was quickly getting angry, but he didn’t dare to disturb Lin Yun’s experiment and could only keep pacing.

“Sir Morgan, what’s the matter? What’s wrong?” After finishing a stage of the experiment, Lin Yun doubtfully asked Morgan.

Morgan was extremely anxious and was acting as if his pants were on fire.

Morgan rushed in front of Lin Yun with a bitter expression and started complaining.

“Hey, Sir Merlin, how could you still be in the mood to do experiments here? Something has gone wrong! Someone leaked the secret of the Beast God’s Blood, and now Dylas knows about it. Even the Burning Tower knows about it!”

Lin Yun’s expression didn’t change. The Beast God’s Blood wasn’t considered a huge secret. Anyone could figure it out if they noticed what was happening with the Beastmen and then captured a few to interrogate them.

Eventually, the Beast God’s Blood would inevitably fall into the eyes of the other mage forces. But knowing about the Beast God’s Blood and being able to use it were two completely different things. There was no need to be worried.

If it was that easy to find a perfect method to use the Beast God’s Blood, it wouldn’t have taken a few millennia for it to be perfected…

Before this, there had been all kinds of imperfect and failed methods. There had been so many that it was uncountable. A few examples of those failed methods had been recorded in the decaying library.

Lin Yun wasn’t worried, but Morgan was getting more and more anxious and his feet were twitching crazily.

“Sir Merlin, you are really not worried at all? Just now, that conceited idiot Dylas came to show off to me.

“He said that he was cooperating with the Burning Tower and that they had already reached a critical point in their research. They are making an alchemical device that will guide the power of the Beast God’s Blood to fuse with mages.

“Moreover, it will only need the Beast God’s Blood! The device will be reusable, with no need to worry about the success rate of compounding a potion.

“Over time, they’ll be able to gather more and more Heaven Rank powerhouses, and after leaving the Raging Flame Battlefield, they’ll be able to use that alchemical device to keep on gathering more Heaven Rank powerhouses. They might even be able to produce them using other types of God Blood.

“It would truly be over then! The Burning Tower and the Shadow Tower would have far more Heaven Ranks than the rest of the entire Odin Kingdom, and no one would be their match…”

Lin Yun was shocked for a moment at first. ‘The Burning Tower actually found a method that fast?’

But after listening for a bit, Lin Yun chuckled.

“Haha…”

Morgan spoke for so long, yet Lin Yun only let out a mysterious chuckle… What did that mean?

“Sir Merlin, do you think I’m lying to you? If that foolish Dylas wasn’t so sure of himself, why would he rush over to show off?

“That fool also said a lot of bad things about you and even wanted me to beg for his help. Damn, that Dylas was trying to humiliate me. If I hadn’t endured, I would have killed that fool!

“Sir Merlin, rest assured, I won’t betray you regardless of what happens. We are the closest allies. So what if we are from different kingdoms?

“As a mage, how could I let kingdoms restrict us…”

Morgan was anxious, and he kept on jabbering, starting to flatter Lin Yun to show that he had firmly declined Dylas.

As a member of the Henry Family, the concept of investment and profit was something he had been immersed with since he was a child. Although the Henry Family started as merchants, and although they valued profit the most, they also made one thing clear: Whether the investment was benefits or friendship, they would never give up halfway. Someone with a foot on both sides could only drown.

Morgan was just worried and angry, but seeing that Lin Yun wasn’t bothered, he was getting more and more anxious.

“Sir Merlin, please say something! Aren’t you worried? That despicable Dylas will definitely do something if he obtains that power.”

Lin Yun indifferently shook his head and proceeded with picking up his alchemy experiment’s flask.

“Say what? There is nothing pertinent to say. They will run out of luck sooner or later and it’ll be extremely bad for them. There is no need to worry at all,” Lin Yun casually answered with a sneer.

He was so confident because he knew that using an alchemical device to process Beast God’s Blood would never work, no matter what the device was!

In the future, as the Beastmen were frantically collecting Beast God’s Blood, the human mages that could no longer progress were searching every single day for a way to advance, and alchemy was naturally the best method.

Naturally, some people decided to research the Beast God’s Blood and compound it into potions. Unfortunately, that kind of method was too wasteful. Although they would gain some valuable experience each time they failed, they would also use up a drop of Beast God’s Blood.

Beast God’s Blood was so precious that it couldn’t be used in large quantities, and the potioneering research was rapidly abandoned.

It was soon replaced by arrays, alchemical devices, and several other methods.

Of these new paths of research, the method of using an alchemical device was researched the fastest, and alchemists rapidly made devices that could be used.

At the very start, they were able to fuse the entire drop of Beast God’s Blood with a mage’s body, using the huge power to complete the Extraordinary transformation.

Unfortunately, it failed. The devices that those crazy alchemists came up with at the peak of Noscent could even separate the fragments of Laws from the Beast God’s Blood to fuse them with mages’ bodies.

Yet even that method failed, as the success rate was far too low. It was recorded that only one mage was successful within a few centuries, and it was because that mage wasn’t a pure human but possessed some Beastman bloodline.

After countless years of research and sacrifice, the most perfect method was found, and it was in the potioneering field that had been abandoned early on.

Potioneering was the only method acceptable for humans.

Thus, Lin Yun didn’t need to keep listening when he heard that the Burning Tower was making an alchemical device. No matter what type of alchemical device it was, no matter what train of thought it followed, it would ultimately fail.

Now they could only wait until they ran out of luck…

Lin Yun kept researching the Beast God’s Blood. Morgan’s restless mind calmed down a bit as he saw Lin Yun’s confidence.

After another ten days, Lin Yun’s stack of Pseudo Heaven Rank mana crystals reached two hundred. That was including the ones hunted by his subordinates, as well as Morgan and Raphael’s shares.

This was traded for two drops of Beast God’s Blood and those two drops were used to compound two Golden Temptation Potions. Lin Yun threw the potions aside and started researching the remnants of the Beast God’s Blood.

The Beast God’s Blood had already separated during the compounding of the Golden Temptation Potions, and its mist was covering the entire plane.

A lot of the impurities from that pure power were absorbed by the Demiplane, and the speed of the absorption slowed down by the time only pure power was left behind.

After going through the purification of the Demiplane and being condensed, the mist was reformed into pure power.

That method hadn’t been documented in the future. If those alchemists researching the Beast God’s Blood could have a Natural Demiplane, they wouldn’t need to research the Beast God’s Blood in the first place. Thus, there had been no record of this pure power.

Morgan chose this time to anxiously rush into the temporary laboratory.

“Sir Merlin, something happened! This is something huge!”

Lin Yun frowned and put down the glass bottle on his table.

“Sir Morgan, you are a Heaven Rank powerhouse now, can’t you maintain a bit of the appropriate prestige? Don’t tell me that the world is about to end?”

Morgan bitterly brought up two invitation cards.

“I just received an invitation card delivered by the Burning Tower. They are inviting us to their temporary camp to attend a ritual. They finished researching the alchemical device and also have Beast God’s Blood. They are just waiting to let a 9th Rank Archmage complete his Extraordinary transformation.

“They are asking us to witness the birth of a Heaven Rank powerhouse…

“They definitely invited us to ridicule us. I also discovered some memory stones outside, and as long as they are opened with the Nesser Language, they will turn into invitation letters.

“The Burning Tower has already made the announcement. Any mage in the Raging Flame Battlefield can easily find an invitation, so everyone must already be aware of that matter.

“This isn’t good! They told everyone about it and invited them all to act as witnesses. Once their people use the device, everyone will be drawn to the Burning Tower and the Shadow Tower.

“There will be no effect even if we say that you can refine the transformation potion.

“After all, they weren’t there to see me take the potion and advance to the Heaven Rank with their own two eyes, while they would be able to witness the process this time. They would unhesitantly walk to that despicable Dylas’ side if that happened…”

Lin Yun held the invitation letter, and an indescribable smile appeared as he looked at it.

The invitation letter was very polite… It was inviting them to witness the birth of a Heaven Rank powerhouse, but it reeked of boasting.

Not only was it saying that, but it was also pointing out that they had mastered the method to let a mage rapidly complete the Extraordinary transformation.

Whoever got the invitation letter would easily draw some conclusions…

Anyone who got this piece of news would let go of everything and rush to the Burning Tower’s temporary camp.

“Sir Merlin, should we go or not?” Morgan asked worriedly.

But Lin Yun only smiled.

“Let’s go, why shouldn’t we go? My research has reached a bottleneck, so I might as well take a break and look at what’s happening. Maybe seeing people running out of luck will give me some ideas…”
