In the spacious laboratory, a pale blue flame was burning.
On a stone platform in the middle of the laboratory, a corpse was lying in Silence.
It was the corpse of an Elven maiden, lying there in Silence. Her flesh and blood had begun to rot, and there was a strange smell coming from the corpse.
Below the corpse was a large Sorcerer Formation, with lines carved on it. There was a pale blue liquid flowing within it, gradually burning with pale blue flames.
Standing in front of the stone platform, Adil's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked in Silence at the corpse that was beginning to rot.
It had been a full seven days since he bought the corpse.
During this period of time, Adil modified the laboratory and perfected many of the things inside before starting his own experiments.
After seven days, the originally beautiful and moving corpse had begun to rot. It looked very frightening, and there was nothing beautiful about it.
This was the effect of the ice coffin being thawed. After it had been crystallized, the corpse would rot very quickly. In a short seven days, it had already rotted beyond recognition.
The pale blue liquid continued to flow, and after a certain time, Adil waved his hand, using a strand of his mental force to activate the Sorcerer Formation on the stone platform.
As if oil had been poured on a flame, the originally weak pale blue flames suddenly erupted, enveloping the entire stone platform and burning with blue flames that were several meters tall.
These flames were not hot, and were ignited by the pure energy within the magic crystals. They did not have the temperature of ordinary flames.
However, the moment the corpse came into contact with the flames, it immediately began to melt. Its flesh and blood turned into specks of silver-grey liquid that dripped onto the stone platform.
This process lasted for a long time, and it was only after a few hours that the flames on the stone platform were completely extinguished. The flesh and blood on the corpse had also completely disappeared, leaving only a black-silver skeleton lying on the stone platform in Silence.
Looking at this corpse, Adil's gaze shifted to one side of the stone platform. There was a depression there, and there was a silver-grey liquid flowing within. It looked very deathly still.
"Only this much?"
Putting away the liquid in the depression, Adil frowned as he looked at the bottle of silver-gray liquid in his hand.
The silvery-grey liquid in front of him was the flesh and blood essence that Adil had extracted from the corpse using a secret technique. It was also the raw material needed to extract the bloodline.
"Forget it. Let's get as many as we can."
Sighing softly, Adil held the half-filled bottle of Flesh Essence in his hand and walked to the side to start the next step of purification.
The fluctuation of magic power kept ringing in the laboratory. By the time all the steps were completed, there was less than one-fifth of the silver-gray liquid left in the half-bottle.
The faint silver liquid flowed continuously in the test tube. Even though it had been dead for tens of thousands of years, there was still a trace of activity in its blood. It flowed continuously as if it was still alive.
At this stage, it was the limit of what a Magus could purify. If he wanted to continue, he would need the A.I. Chip's help.
"A.I. Chip, activate the auxiliary template."
Walking in front of the experiment table, Adil held the half-filled bottle of faint silver blood in his hand and ordered the A.I. Chip in his mind.
With the activation of the A.I. Chip's auxiliary template, Leylin's field of vision immediately changed. Small objects began to expand, and even the structure of a speck of dust could be seen clearly.
Sensing all of this, Adil poured out the faint silver blood in his hand and began the final purification experiment.
He had done many of these purification experiments during this period of time, so he was already familiar with them.
After a few hours, the half-filled bottle of faint silver blood began to flow out, and only two drops of silver blood were left in front of Adil's eyes.
Compared to the blood from before, these two drops of blood looked extremely pure, and there seemed to be a faint silver glow on them, making them look very beautiful.
This was the Ancient Moon Elf bloodline that had been purified from this corpse. Even if he extracted all of the bloodline from the corpse, he would only be able to purify these two drops.
After carefully pouring the last two drops of blood into a small bottle, Adil heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the bottle in front of him.
This glass bottle had been specially made by Adil. Not only was it extremely sturdy, it could also prevent auras from leaking out. It could be considered a low-grade magic artifact.
Inside the transparent glass bottle, there was a layer of faint silver liquid flowing inside. It looked like it only took up a thin layer.
This was the result of a week of Adil's hard work.
In a week's time, apart from the corpse of this female elf, Adil had also purified more than half of the materials he had bought from Gimel. There were only a few corpses that he had not had the time to purify.
It was a pity that these corpses had been dead for too long and had lost a lot of their bloodline. The amount of Moon Elf bloodline that could be extracted from the corpses was very little.
The five corpses that still had flesh and blood on them were still alright, and each of them had at least one or two drops of Moon Elf bloodline. The corpses that only had bones left were much worse off, and there were very few gains.
Adil had used up more than half of the materials he had bought and had only managed to purify a thin layer of Moon Elf bloodline. There was still a long way to go before he could achieve his goal.
"I've roughly completed a tenth of it."
Looking at the thin layer of silver blood in the glass bottle, Adil muttered to himself.
According to Adil's conjecture, if he wanted to purify the Moon Elf bloodline into a pure Ancient Moon Elf bloodline, he would have to fill up the glass bottle in front of him. Otherwise, he would only be able to purify half of it and wouldn't be able to achieve the best results.
"The materials are almost used up. I can't count on Gimel for the time being. It seems like I can only rely on Fred for news."
Thinking until here, Adil sighed in his heart. He carefully kept the glass bottle in his hand and walked out.
Walking outside, a familiar aura came from afar, which Adil could clearly sense.
Following the aura, Adil walked to a certain hall and saw a familiar figure.
"Fred, you're here."
Looking at the old man sitting in the hall, Adil nodded and greeted him, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, I've only just arrived."
Fred shook his head, looked at Adil, and explained.
He was wearing a clean white robe today and was sitting on a wooden chair in the hall. Seeing the faint exhaustion on Adil's face, he couldn't help but ask, "Come to think of it, you haven't left the laboratory for seven to eight days, right? What's the result?"
"Not bad. I barely managed to see some results."
Adil smiled and said, "But I'm running out of experimental materials. I was just about to ask you for some information."
"Experimental materials? You've used up all the materials you bought previously?"
Hearing Adil's words, Fred was a little astonished. He then said, "If you want experimental materials, it's impossible with Gimel. The materials you bought previously have been squeezed by him for a few years."
"However, it's possible with other places."
He looked at Adil and said meaningfully.
Hearing his words, Adil straightened his body and looked at Fred seriously, "Tell me about it."
"Jadeite City's trading market. It has the most complete set of materials around here, including the Magic Eye Potion that you asked me to inquire about previously."
Fred said solemnly, "Besides, there's an opportunity in the near future."
"What opportunity?"
Seeing the expression on Fred's face, Adil subconsciously asked.
"A newly discovered ancient elven relic."
Fred said, "It's said that it was discovered a few months ago. It's said that there's a very strong reaction of witchcraft. It should be a large-scale relic."
"However, although they discovered this relic, they don't have enough power. So this time, they even invited the official Sorcerers in the area to participate in the excavation."
He looked at Adil and said with a smile, "To us, this is a good opportunity. Usually, in large-scale elven relics like this, there will be many resources that are now extinct, as well as a large number of ancient elven corpses. "
"A few decades ago, someone even dug out the corpse of a pure-blooded moon elf from a large-scale relic."
"Is that corpse still there?"
Hearing Fred's words, Adil subconsciously asked.
To Adil, what he lacked the most now were elven corpses with pure-blooded blood. If a pure-blooded moon elf was really pure-blooded, then it would at least be equivalent to hundreds of ordinary corpses that Adil had purified. To him, the significance of a pure-blooded moon elf was self-evident.
"Of course not," Fred said with a smile.
"The blood and flesh on that moon elf's corpse were long gone. It's just a corpse, and there's no way to extract its bloodline. In the end, it was divided up by the few Lords. It's said that a few powerful magic weapons were made from it."
"What a pity."
Hearing this, Adil sighed softly.
Even if that moon elf's corpse was only left with bones, if it was given to him, he would definitely be able to extract a lot of bloodline from it. Now, it was wasted.
"It is indeed a pity."
Hearing Adil's words, Fred sighed in agreement and said, "The ancient moon elves were natural elven kings. According to the ancient records, as long as they reached adulthood, they would have the strength of a Rank 4 Sorcerer. It would be great if there was some blood and flesh left on the corpse of such a terrifying creature. "
"Even if it's just a little bit of bloodline, it would probably be enough for one to easily reach the level of a Rank 2 Sorcerer."
Looking at Adil, he sighed. There was an indescribable emotion in his tone.
Sitting opposite him in Silence, Adil did not say anything about Fred's emotions.
In fact, the moon elf bloodline that flowed in Fred's body came from the same source.
More than a thousand years ago, there was once a Sorcerer who obtained the corpse of a pure-blooded moon elf. He successfully extracted the remaining bloodline from the corpse and grafted it into his own body.
With the power of the moon elf bloodline, this Sorcerer successfully became a Rank 2 Sorcerer. He was even one of the top Rank 2 Sorcerers. In the end, he came to the region where the Goro Kingdom was located and built the Goro Kingdom there.
And this Sorcerer was Fred. He was also the ancestor of the entire Goro royal family.
Based on this example, it was not hard to imagine that if a moon elf corpse was found a few decades ago and still had flesh and blood on it, it would be able to establish a powerful Sorcerer family just like the ancestors of the Goro royal family.
"How about it? Will you join this operation?"
After chatting for a while, Fred looked at Adil and smiled again. "According to the usual practice, we can not only take some of the spoils we find in the ruins as rewards, but we can also get the right to buy them in advance."
This condition was very much what Adil wanted. Without much hesitation, Adil directly asked, "When do we leave?"
"In about three months."
Hearing Adil's words, Fred shrugged. "When that time comes, I will go with you."
"I'm looking forward to the ruins of the ancient elves."
Adil smiled and said to Fred.
"I hope you won't be disappointed."
Fred stood up and looked at Adil. "Before we leave, I will send someone to inform you."
Adil nodded lightly. Then, he also stood up and sent Fred on his way.
… …
Three months later.
One morning, the sun shone on the ground. Drops of mist spread on the crisp leaves and slowly condensed into dew.
Walking in the spacious laboratory, Adil put down the last pile of bones and looked at the glass bottle in his hand.
In these three months, through Gimuel and Fred's relationship, Adil had bought some ancient elven corpses.
The quality of these corpses was not high. Most of them were the corpses of elven nobles. Although their bodies also contained a portion of the blood of the moon elves, it was very thin and could not be compared to the royal family.
But compared to the rarer and more precious royal family, the corpses of these elven nobles were undoubtedly easier to obtain.
Many a little makes a mickle. In these three months, Adil's harvest was not bad. The additional silver blood in the glass bottle was proof.
"I've collected a fifth."
Leylin shook the glass bottle in his hand. The silver blood inside swayed and flowed. It was as beautiful as a silver stream, but it seemed a little dead.
This was because the main body of the bloodline had died and the bloodline had been dormant for too long. In order to recover its vitality, it had to go through an activation process.
But once it was activated, the bloodline that had been purified with great difficulty would reveal a strange phenomenon, which would be easily discovered by other Magi.
After all, this was the bloodline of the ancient moon elves. They were existences that could rival rank 4 Magi in adulthood.
Even a single drop of blood from such an existence was extremely precious, not to mention the bloodline left behind. Once it was activated, it would definitely release a powerful aura.
With this in mind, in order to avoid certain troubles, Adil temporarily did not deal with these bloodlines that had fallen into a dead state.
Walking out of the laboratory, he took off his white robe and changed into a fitting black robe. Only then did Adil walk out.
On a flat piece of land in the manor, a luxurious horse carriage was parked there. It seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
