Early in the morning, the sunlight outside was warm, and a light breeze blew past, making one feel very comfortable.
In a courtyard, Adil stood in front of a pool, looking attentively at the thing in the pool.
The pool was not very big, and light golden Water of Life flowed within, emitting a golden radiance under the sunlight.
Apart from the light golden Water of Life, there was also a tree root in the pool.
It was a black tree root, and there were very few roots on it. Moreover, it was very dry, as if it had completely withered away.
However, there was a dark golden lustre flickering on this tree root. Even now, it had not disappeared, and was instead becoming more and more obvious.
This was the tree root of a Jinnain tree, which Adil had obtained before he had advanced to become an official Magus. It had already been a few years since then.
Initially, when he had obtained this tree root, it still had a very strong life force. However, after a few years, even though Adil had used a special medicinal liquid to carefully protect it, the life force on the tree root was still constantly diminishing, and it was almost completely withered.
Fortunately, after coming to the Jadeite World, Adil had obtained a large amount of Water of Life, and after a few months of continuous nurturing, he had finally managed to let this tree root live again.
Feeling the increasing life force of the tree root in front of him, Adil stopped what he was doing.
In his mind, the A.I. Chip was still operating continuously, continuously analyzing the data of this Jinnain tree and simulating the final result.
[Use Water of Life and continue watering it for half a month to allow it to grow again …]
As the information was continuously recorded, the A.I. Chip's mechanical prompt sounded in his mind once more.
"Half a month, that's about it."
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Adil nodded slightly and looked at his stats.
[Name: Adil Farcus. Strength: 24.1. Agility: 24.8. Vitality: 24.7. Spirit: 31.2. Spiritual force purity: 43.7%. World Energy: 21.5.]
The familiar stats panel once again appeared in front of Adil's eyes, but compared to a few months ago, it had improved by a lot.
"If I want to enter the metamorphosis stage, other than spirit power reaching 30 and above, I also need my spirit power purity to reach 50% and above …"
Standing on the spot, Adil looked at the attributes of his body and muttered to himself, "I've reached the standard in terms of mental strength, but I'm still a little short in terms of the purity of mental strength."
It had been a month since he last met with Kumu and the others. In the past month, through the purification potions, Adil had obtained a lot of resources from Kumu to improve his mental strength, which was why he had improved so much in such a short period of time.
Of course, at this stage, Adil's progress was much slower.
According to the A.I. Chip's calculations, it would take at least three more months to reach the standard of the metamorphosis stage.
"Looking at the time, it's just right."
He silently calculated the time he had left and muttered to himself.
It had been half a year since he came to the Emerald World, and there were only four months left before the agreed time with Saul.
In four months, he would leave the Emerald World, and at that time, he would be close to advancing to the metamorphosis stage.
At this thought, Adil turned around and glanced at the pool in front of him before walking into the house.
In the familiar laboratory, a bottle of silver blood lay in Silence on the centre of the experiment table. There were faint undulations that were slowly spreading outwards.
These undulations were very strong, and carried a terrifying might of a bloodline. If not for the fact that Adil had set up layers of spell formations to conceal it, other Magi would have sensed it.
"It hasn't even been fully activated, but it already has such a terrifying display. The might of the ancient moon elves is truly astonishing."
Walking into the laboratory and standing at the centre of the experiment table, Adil could not help but sigh as he sensed the might of the bloodline.
In the glass bottle before him, silver light flowed continuously. Compared to the deathly stillness from before, it now had a trace of spirituality, as well as the might of the bloodline that could suppress everything.
Although it was only in a half-awakened state, Adil felt the blood in his body boil, and the throbbing in his heart caused him to feel a desire and fear that came from the depths of his bloodline.
Looking at the silver blood in the glass bottle, Adil suddenly seemed to see a terrifyingly complicated bloodline imprint.
It was a wisp of a silver moon that was formed from countless interweaving bloodline chains. It hung high up in the dim sky, and it emanated a weak and gentle radiance that caused others to feel at ease and happiness.
However, amidst this joy and excitement, Adil acutely sensed a trace of danger from the depths of his bloodline. It seemed to have some sort of omen that made him vigilant.
"I can't activate or transform it in the Emerald World."
Sensing the fear and trembling in his body, Adil's face paled as he muttered to himself.
After activating the Moon Elf bloodline, Adil clearly sensed some sort of danger, as if something terrifying would happen if he activated the bloodline in front of him.
This was an instinct that came from the depths of his bloodline. Even though it was illusory, Adil still felt vigilant.
"This world's Elves once suffered a terrifying curse, and all of the Elves in this world died in one night."
Standing there and looking at the silver blood in front of him, Adil's face paled, and he muttered to himself, "Even though tens of thousands of years have passed and this curse should have weakened or even disappeared, as long as there's a chance of it erupting again, I cannot take the risk."
Looking at the silver blood in front of him, Adil stood there for a long time before moving, a trace of his mental energy spreading out.
The Sorcerer Formation that had long since been set up on the glass bottle was instantly activated by Adil's mental energy. The runes on it started to flash, suppressing the ripples from the awakening of the Moon Elf bloodline.
Only after half an hour did this process stop. The silver Moon Elf Bloodline returned to its dormant state, and it was no longer activated.
Sensing that the throbbing in his body had disappeared, Adil's expression was calm, and he quickly put away the glass bottle before walking out.
At this moment, someone was already waiting outside.
In a garden, flowers were blooming everywhere, and some butterflies were flying freely, shuttling back and forth between the different flowers.
Within this garden, a young man was standing in Silence with a calm expression, admiring the flowers around him.
"Mr. Kumu, you're here," Adil's voice sounded out from the distance.
The young man turned and saw Adil walking over in a certain direction. He was wearing black clothes, and his footsteps were light as he walked over.
"Long time no see, Adil."
Looking at Adil, he said with a smile, as if he had thought of something very happy.
"There are still a few days before the time of the transaction. What brings you here this time?"
Adil walked over to Kumu in Silence and looked at the young man beside him as he asked.
"There's a piece of unfortunate news."
Kumu's expression became serious, "A while ago, we received news that we've lost contact with the Sorcerers who went to the historical remnant."
Adil paused for a moment before frowning, "What happened?"
"I'm not too sure yet, but … I'm afraid there's a problem."
Kumu's expression did not change at all, and he looked at the flowers in front of him as if he was admiring them, "Including the representative from Jadeite City, there were 15 official Sorcerers in total, and three of them were in the transformation stage. We've lost contact with them.
"After hearing this news, Jadeite City started to feel uneasy, but it was suppressed by the Jadeite City Lord, so it didn't spread out."
Looking deeply at Kumu, Adil's expression did not change, but he felt that something was wrong.
15 official Sorcerers had disappeared, but facing this kind of news, Kumu still looked quite relaxed, and he could even smile.
It had to be known that almost half of the 15 Sorcerers were from Jadeite City.
Moreover, as a member of Jadeite City, he directly called his leader Jadeite City Lord, and his tone did not seem to be respectful at all.
Feeling all of this, Adil did not say anything, and he only looked in front of him as if he was admiring the flowers.
"Adil, what are your plans now?"
Kumu, who was standing beside Adil, suddenly asked.
"Plans?"
Adil paused for a moment, and although he did not understand what Kumu meant, he still replied, "I'll probably return to the Gaur Kingdom after a while."
"Although the Gaur Kingdom is said to have inherited the ancient Moon Elf bloodline, the bloodline is no longer pure, and the Moon Elf race's unique high-grade meditation technique is also missing. If you go there, you'll just be wasting your talent."
Kumu's expression was calm as he spoke to Adil, and his tone was filled with disdain towards the Gaur Kingdom.
Hearing this, Adil did not get angry, and he only thought for a while before asking, "How about Jadeite City?"
"Jadeite City, not bad."
This time, Kumu nodded, "With your talent in Pharmaceutics, as long as you show that you're willing to join Jadeite City, you might be taken in as a student by the Jadeite City's City Lord and be given the best treatment."
Saying this, his tone changed, "However, the Jadeite City's Jadeite Heart Meditation Technique is incomplete, and it can only allow people to advance to Level 2 at most. Moreover, with your identity, even if you join Jadeite City, how long will it take for you to be taught?
"You have to know that the Jadeite Heart Meditation Technique is something that only the next City Lord has the right to learn."
Hearing this, Adil fell silent, and after a long while, he spoke again, "How about Olier Academy?"
Olier Academy was one of the top forces in this region, and it was much stronger than Jadeite City.
"Olier Academy is powerful enough, but with your identity as an outsider, even if you sign a contract, you'll only be able to obtain the first two levels of the Jadeite Heart Meditation Technique, and the price will be losing your freedom forever."
Speaking of Olier Academy, Kumu's expression became more serious, but his tone was still filled with disdain.
"In your opinion, which one is more suitable?"
Adil raised his head and looked at Kumu, and a faint blue light flashed in his eyes.
Facing Adil's confusion, Kumu turned to look at him and lightly smiled as he gave an answer.
