Witch Alchemist

This used to be a mangrove forest in the windy hills. After the terrain changed dramatically, the river rose and submerged them all in the water.

It is as quiet as an ancient relic, with intricate roots intertwined in the water, like an abstract art painting.

On the other side facing the sunny slope, you can see the sun shining through the clear water and onto the treetops.

Many huge trees seem to be still alive, facing the sky above, and from time to time you can see schools of fish swimming among them, bringing a breath of life.

Roy had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery underwater, but instead searched with a bit of vigilance, gradually coming to a flat land below and sensing carefully.

"According to the direction of the leyline here...

It should be a little further south!"

Not long after, Roy moved his position, sensed it again with his mental power for a while, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"This position should be right."

The leyline of the wizard world is similar to the magical leylines of other planes and worlds. They are all a kind of natural energy enrichment, and even a high-power field expressed in the form of elemental force.

They are like mountains and rivers, spread all over the earth, and mana flows among them, easily accumulating, demonizing, and forming various natural witchcraft materials or demonized items.

Roy followed the treasure-hunting method of tracing the energy of the earth veins recorded in the book, and searched around for a while, and suddenly found a stone platform that looked relatively flat, about the size of a millstone.

So he arranged a simple witch formation on it and began to guide the spiritual power in the entire lake.

This is the way to collect crystals from the holy lake.

If the spiritual power in this lake is sufficient, it should be possible to harvest something after ten days and a half.

…

Gurgle!

Bubbles surged.

Roy drilled out from the bottom of the water, his body slowly rose, and finally stood on the water surface.

Celine saw it, came around from the other side, and waited in front.

When Roy stepped on the water and walked ashore, she came up and told him: "I just looked around and didn't find anything unusual for the time being."

Roy nodded. It was normal that there were few people here and no apprentices were around.

He said to Celine: "It seems that the information is accurate. There is a real hope of collecting holy lake crystals here. We have to stay here for a while."

They set up camp immediately.

Unconsciously, it was evening.

Roy and Celine simply picked up some dry firewood nearby and lit a bonfire.

Since he carried a storage magic device, he didn't need to eat dry food or hunt temporarily, which greatly improved the adventure experience.

"If there were some magical pets or self-discipline mechanisms, it would be comfortable.

Forget it, let's take it slowly."

As Roy enjoyed the boiled broth, he had a little yearning.

"You are already an elite apprentice now, can't you afford those things?" Celine asked.

"It's not that I can't afford it, but it's unnecessary.

Think about it, I might be promoted sometime, and then all kinds of configurations will have to be replaced, which is troublesome for no reason."

Roy said as a matter of course.

"That's right, many things in the apprentice stage can't be used after promotion, the level gap is too big."

Celine was slightly stunned after hearing this.

"Of course, I'm not talking about you.

Even if I become a formal wizard, I will take you with me."

Roy saw her entanglement and said with a smile.

Celin listened and was skeptical.

But as a follower, she was not so hypocritical.

So she didn't say much, continued to drink her own broth, and then patrolled nearby to perform her duties.

...

No words were spoken that night, and time soon came to the next day.

Roy dived into the water again to investigate the situation.

The platform where the witch array was placed was normal, with no signs of being disturbed by swimming fish or monsters in the water.

"It seems that this place is still peaceful, and no powerful monsters have been raised for the time being."

After confirming this, Roy was relieved.

"In fact, I really don't understand why this material can be used to make potions." Celine couldn't help saying, "It looks like salt grains precipitated from the lake.

When I was a low-level apprentice, I also tried hard to understand these witchcraft things, but I still couldn't get the point after spending many years."

Roy couldn't help but smile after listening.

"It's normal not to understand.

If it's so easy to understand, can it be witchcraft?"

In fact, there are many unsolved mysteries in this world, such as my own innate source, the reason for crossing, etc.

Also, why does the screaming potion use bat wings, and the activation potion uses slime mucus, air-dried earthworms, etc.

No mistakes, just go to the 6-9 book bar!

As a time traveler, Roy doesn't really understand many things in witchcraft.

But he knows that this is a classic "black box".

Not understanding does not affect the use.

Most witchcraft focuses on this part, which is different from the arcane's emphasis on the "white box".

He said to Celine: "Why do we have to understand it? That is the thinking of arcane, not witchcraft.

I care more about whether there is a proven recipe, whether there is exploration and evidence from predecessors.

Have you ever heard of the induction of all things?"

"Of course." Celine said, "This is the foundation of witchcraft."

"In alchemy witchcraft, this material symbolizes the pure and flawless spirit of nature. It is inductive with all things in the world, so it can be used as a material for mana essence potion."

Roy gave a brief explanation, then spread his hands.

"As for why this feeling occurs, don't ask me, I don't know much.

Perhaps some books in the library will explain it, but I haven't had time to read all the books.

If there is a teacher to guide me, maybe I can solve my doubts, but I don't have a teacher now."

...

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Roy stayed by the lake every day to monitor the collection of the Holy Lake crystals.

He was pleased to find that some crystals similar to salt grains really began to appear on the stone platform.

That was the Holy Lake crystal he needed!

"It's really as the records say, sufficient spirituality can precipitate this kind of solid crystal.

This looks a bit like the pearls formed in the clam meat. If it is in a living organism, it is possible to pick it ready.

But that is often hard to find."

After coming out of the water again, Roy stood on the water, steamed the moisture between his hair and clothes, and said to Celine.

He collected the small particles he saw with great care.

However, he did not add the same spirit gathering magic array nearby, because this kind of thing mainly depends on the energy of the earth vein itself.

In the nearby scene, the magic array is enough.

Not long after, Roy came to the temporary camping place, sat in front of the tent, put a simple small table, and enjoyed today's breakfast.

Every day when he got up, he went into the water to investigate without even eating, and he had to check again before dark at night.

But he was very concerned about the treasure of the stone platform below.

At this moment, Roy's mind moved slightly.

His spiritual power, which had reached the peak of an apprentice, faintly produced a feeling of being spied on.
