The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Matthews' schedule was very tight. He not only needed to devote a lot of time to learning Byron, but also to learn Professor Lieben's acupressure techniques. In addition, he was determined to extract the essence of Cordyceps so that he could carry it with him to accelerate his leap in strength.

However, carrying a large amount of Cordyceps is cumbersome and easy to attract attention. For this reason, Matthews began to think hard, hoping to find the best solution among various known methods. After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to use the method of soaking Cordyceps in wine, because this method can effectively preserve the medicinal value of Cordyceps and is easy to carry.

Experiments have shown that the method of soaking Cordyceps in wine is effective. Cordyceps soaked in wine basically loses its original efficacy, while the medicinal wine miraculously retains the magical medicinal effects of Cordyceps. This result made him very pleased, and it also further confirmed that wine can indeed extract the effective ingredients from Cordyceps.

With the method of extracting Cordyceps essence, the first challenge Matthews faced was how to concentrate the Cordyceps essence for portability. Considering that high temperature may destroy the effective ingredients of Cordyceps, he chose to increase the concentration of the wine in order to extract more Cordyceps essence with the least amount of wine.

With the help of the distillation technology from another world, he easily obtained a high-concentration liquor. He used this high-concentration liquor to brew Cordyceps. The results showed that his method was effective.

In order to make full use of Cordyceps, Matthews prepared most of the Cordyceps into distilled liquor in this way, successfully transforming most of the Cordyceps into essence, and finally obtained a large bottle of high-concentration Cordyceps liquor.

Although this medicinal wine cannot fully extract all the essence of Cordyceps, it is enough to meet Matthews' needs.

In order to make it easier to carry and avoid attracting attention, Matthews cleverly used a special double-layer rubber bag to carry his medicinal wine. This design allows the medicinal wine to be hidden in the interlayer, while the outer layer can be used to hold water, which looks like an ordinary kettle and is very natural to hang around the waist.

When he found the right time and made sure that no one was around, Matthews revealed the secret of Cordyceps to Count Albert and handed over some of the few Cordyceps he had left.

At first, the count was skeptical about the magical effect of Cordyceps, but after trying it himself, he immediately realized the extraordinary value of Cordyceps, and his face showed an incredible expression, with both shock and joy that could not be concealed.

When Matthews mentioned that Knight Leben also knew the secret of Cordyceps, Count Albert's face instantly turned cold, an expression unique to those in power.

Matthews was keenly aware of the change in his father's expression. He expressed without hesitation the deep friendship between him and Instructor Leben, affectionately described the great help Instructor Leben had given him and his gratitude to Instructor Leben, and pleaded with his father to treat Instructor Leben well.

However, the Earl still showed his doubts. Matthews then emphasized that after he left, only Instructor Leben knew the location of the Cordyceps, and that special techniques were required to prepare it, and any mistake would result in the loss of its effectiveness.

In order to dispel the Earl's concerns about teaching Lieben, Matthews further proposed future arrangements for Lieben, which shocked the Earl. He was shocked by Matthews's careful plan, and at the same time realized that this was Matthews's strong protection for Lieben.

Under Matthews' firm stance, the Earl realized that rejecting his request would damage their father-son relationship. Therefore, he accepted Matthews' win-win plan and decided to arrange a marriage between Knight Leben and his illegitimate daughter before Matthews set off, which not only ensured the safety of family secrets, but also showed respect and support for Matthews' personal feelings.

After reaching an agreement with his father, Matthews finally felt relieved. Among all his relatives, the one he cared about most was Teacher Leben.

Then, he emphasized to his father that although Cordyceps has extraordinary effects, its quantity is extremely rare. He especially stressed that we must not destroy the growth environment of Cordyceps, nor over-exploit it, and certainly not collect those Cordyceps that are not yet mature. We must strictly abide by the principle of sustainable development to ensure that Cordyceps resources can be effectively protected and reasonably utilized.

As the preparations continued to advance, time flew by like a white horse, and two months slipped away quietly.

Matthews felt the pressure of time more and more, and his inner anxiety made it difficult for him to stay calm. The study of Byron seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and he could only hastily master less than 2,000 words and some basic daily expressions.

Under the guidance of Butler Vincent, Matthews finally understood the words of the young man in the Andes Mountains before he left: "Remember my name, Benjamin Sochin."

Butler Vincent told him that Soqin was the surname of a prominent family in the Byron Empire. Matthews felt a little uneasy, for he had a premonition that he might meet Benjamin again on this trip to the Byron Empire.

Fortunately, just as Matthews was about to leave, Lieben's research finally made a breakthrough, thanks to the large number of experimental subjects and data provided by Matthews. Lieben gradually revealed the secrets of acupuncture through careful observation, repeated experiments and even dissection, and compiled a set of theoretical systems on acupuncture techniques and their effects at different acupoints.

Lieben knew that Matthews was pressed for time, so he compiled his research results into a book for him to consult at any time. At the same time, while continuing to deepen his research, Lieben began to personally guide Matthews to learn the essence of acupuncture.

Lieben said to Matthews seriously: "After a lot of research and experiments, we have confirmed that acupuncture can indeed effectively regulate the circulation of qi and blood, promote the patency of meridians, and even enhance the strength and toughness of qi channels by stimulating specific acupuncture points."

He went on to explain: “However, this requires the acupuncturist to have a deep understanding of the acupuncture points on the human body and superb skills. The acupuncture must not only be accurate, but the force and depth must also be precisely controlled. I believe that in this world, there are only two of us who can reach this level of acupuncture.

In addition, I also found that different acupuncture points may require different acupuncture techniques. After the needle is inserted, some acupuncture points need to be rotated, while others need to be lifted and inserted to enhance the stimulation effect. At the same time, the time of acupuncture must also be accurately controlled. If the time is too short, the effect is not obvious; if the time is too long, it will have a negative impact. "

Lieben explained and demonstrated while giving acupuncture to the experimental subjects on the laboratory table, allowing Matthews to feel the technique and essence of acupuncture more intuitively.

Under Lieben's careful guidance, Matthews gradually understood the essentials of acupuncture and was full of gratitude: "Thank you, Teacher Lieben!"
