Age of Adepts

At this level of Level 4, it's not too difficult to obtain some high level equipment.

Those who have the strength to go to the different surface battlefield and fight a few fights will be able to get a good harvest. Those who didn't like fighting could also create pretty good sorcery with a large amount of magic crystals and massive resources after a few more years in the rear.

But that only meant those equipment of the same class!

It was mostly just a dream to fully fit one's soul origin and create a unique original sorcery.

Most of the looted items were just chicken ribs that didn't fit, and the ones hiding in the back were not qualified to pick and choose. Therefore, the truly useful equipment in the hands of every 4th level sorcerer was still very rare.

Just like Grim, after advancing to the 4th level, he grabbed a large amount of 4th level equipment in bits and pieces, such as the Blood Dripping Spear, Ogre Hammer, Soden Holy Ring, Breath of Darkness, Ring of Shadow... However, the only thing that really fit his fire attribute talent was the Fire Coral Wand.

If he hadn't snatched a Shadow Jewel in exchange for the Fire God Pearl, I'm afraid that Grim's battle prowess wouldn't have been able to advance so dramatically and be able to overpower a fearsome powerhouse like the Torturing Witch.

Therefore, suddenly seeing a 4th stage holy light ring that perfectly matched his origin attribute, even that Geraldine Witch couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even a little impatient.

One of the main reasons why Grim was willing to take out this Soden Holy Ring in exchange was that this ring in his hands simply couldn't exert the power that a 4th rank item should have. Often times Grim had to forcefully drive it to function with his powerful mental energy.

With such a rib left in his hand to act as an inefficient 'healing ring', it would be better to take this opportunity to exchange it out and make use of the residual power of a Tier 4 item.

As for whether it would be a capital enemy... that wasn't really a problem!

The Sorcerer's Association was still too far away from Scatterland Tallinn, and for the conceivable hundreds of years, Grim's main 'enemies' were still the stubborn, deluded 4th Order Sorcerers in the middle of the continent who wanted to maintain their past glorious careers.

Grim would never easily cross swords with the three major wizard organization forces until he was sure of it!

Even if the other side was full of 'hostility' towards them, some hooked up schemes and tricks Grim didn't care in the event that they couldn't officially invade.

As long as the three major witch organizations didn't dare to start a real war, then Grim was confident that he would have the last laugh in this race of time and strength.

The Domhnall, who was sitting opposite Grim, received the Soden Sacred Ring, tried to play with it for a while, and verified the power attribute inside. Only then did his old face relax slightly and he gazed at it, "The base prices of 4th level items on the market now are between two and three million. Although this Holy Light Ring is of good quality, its attributes are too remote, so I'm afraid it will affect its base value when traded. But since Your Excellency is willing to trade it, I won't overly suppress the price... How about three million magic crystals then?"

Grim smiled slightly, "I remember that among the people that my lord just introduced me to was a Jeradin Wizard. I think... if I were to contact him, his offer would have to be much higher than your lordship's!"

Domnall looked unmoving, still looking aloof.

"Well, Your Excellency is right. The market for high ranked items is the way it is; it may be priceless in the hands of those who need it, but in the hands of others it is nothing more than a high ranked item. Since His Excellency has said so, I will contact Geraldine and see how much he is willing to pay for it!"

A moment later, the chamber glowed brightly and a strange light man actually condensed out of thin air.

After completely energizing his body, this Geraldine Shaman also had the strange ability to dismantle and reshape his body at will. As long as there was light, there was no way to block the penetration of his power. As long as there was light, his power was also constant.

This kind of power was already somewhat close to that of those purely elemental creatures!

"I'll take this ring. As for the price Your Excellency can mention anything, as long as I can afford it, I will never counter!" This elemental of light made Geraldine quite crisp, but the ball apparently kicked back to Grim's side.

The people present were all long-established and veteran 4th rank wizards, and if Grim were to shout the lion's share, it would only provoke ridicule and contempt from the other party, and would not be conducive to further negotiations. But to shout with too low a value, don't say anyone else, Grim wouldn't even be able to pass this hurdle himself.

Grim narrowed his eyes and stared closely at the seemingly heroic-looking but actually extremely cunning Geraldine Wizard, pondering for a long time before he slowly opened his mouth.

"Five million magic crystals... plus your Excellency's... drop of blood!"

Geraldine was currently in his luminous form, and his entire body was emitting a dazzlingly terrifying glare, so there was naturally no way to understand the expression and appearance on his face. However, judging from his overflowing light elemental fluctuations, he did not seem to be angered by Grim's 'rude' request.

"You want to study the light element?" After a long time, Geraldine suddenly spoke up.

"Good! Of all the elemental particles, the element of light possesses exceptional purification properties and special teleportation methods. In terms of speed alone, the light element is definitely among the top three within the plane. Therefore, I would like to study Your Excellency's light element to improve my clumsy and sluggish movement speed after transforming into a fire giant!" Grim was still smiling.

This Geraldine had no comment on Grim's remark.

Maybe it was true, maybe it was false, and whether it was true or false could only be judged by him.

There were too many means of casting curses by virtue of an opponent's flesh and hair in witchcraft, so to take the initiative to obtain a drop of the opponent's blood was already considered a big offense.

However, with Grim's status, if he openly cast a sorcery curse on an association elder, it would be no less than declaring war directly on the Sorcerer's Association. Therefore, whether or not the other party would be so unwise was a matter that could only be judged by Geraldine herself.

Were there any fools among the 4th rank witches? There may be a lot of crazy people, but not a single fool!

Would a 4th rank wizard with a big Noble family in the middle of the continent risk a war with the Wizengamot to cast a curse on Geraldine who had no grudge against him?

Seeing the other party's misgivings, Grim could only lower his standards.

"Since His Excellency Geraldine has doubts, I will not take the blood away and just feel the Laws of Light inside here. That's always fine, right?"

At the news Geraldine was delighted and finally nodded, "So very good!"

With that, the fingertips of his right hand stroked his chest, and a drop of milky white blood also floated out and flew to Grim in front of him.

Perhaps it was because he felt that such a deal was too unfair to Grim, but what this Geraldine Sorcerer took out was not ordinary blood, but the original blood deep within his core.

This kind of thing was of course extremely important to him as well, and must never fall into the hands of others. However, the other party had already promised never to take it away, just to feel and comprehend it up close, so that there would be no problem.

What's more, Geraldine really didn't believe that in such a short period of time, he could analyze the Laws of Light that he had spent hundreds of years to initially control through spiritual perception alone.

Looking at the origin blood floating in front of him, Grim didn't use the Space Sorcerer to carry it up, but instead straightforwardly stroked with one hand, condensing one flame rune after another into the blood, slowly feeling and comprehending the distinctive and strange power within.

And in the depths of his tightly squinted eyes, blue mane was hidden, exciting* rays of different spectrums repeatedly examining and measuring the elemental composition and energy composition method inside.

"Drop, detecting strange high concentration light elemental aggregates... in depth scan..."

In Grim's mind, a three-dimensional image of this drop of Origin Blood had been projected. And as the data from all aspects came together, the image became clearer and clearer, even the frequency of the energy fluctuations it dispersed simulated in general.

"Drop, pH level has been determined..."

"Drops, cell activity has been measured..."

"Drops, the blood composition is 21, 46% similar to humans...no bacteria or physiological debris were detected..."

"Drip, light elemental energy has replaced bioenergy and is bonding abnormally tightly to cellular tissue...in the process of energy architecture deconstruction...Warning, this action will cause irreversible energy collapse to the detection target...please instruct subject whether to Continue that operation?"

"The operation is suspended until all incidental testing is completed!"

"Drip, command sequence has been adjusted...composition testing continues..."

With a series of chip prompts, Grim's detection of that drop of Origin Blood also began to advance into a deeper structure.

And when Grim's entire mind was invested in that drop of Origin Blood, the Domnall and Geraldine in the chamber couldn't help but exchange a glance, their faces somewhat heavier.

Grim was testing the Origin Blood, and how could they, the group of Association Sorcerers, not be observing Grim.

However, unlike ordinary alchemical sorcerers, Grim was not using any alchemical equipment or any prophecy wands, it seemed that he was really performing some sort of complex operation with his naked eyes and flame detection sorcery.

Such a research method was unprecedented!

Could this Grim's naked eye be more accurate than the magnifying glass on the alchemy table? Was this Grim's spiritual perception able to peer across the limit threshold to the life factor? Could he see the original structure of the energy without the spectrometer? ........

Too much incredulity made the two people present start to get suspicious as well.

It couldn't be that this Grim was just putting on an act and not actually seeing anything, right?

Not to mention them, even the Association Shamans who were hiding behind the curtain and paying attention to the place were a bit pressured.

While they were distracted from dealing with the bombardment of the many Association Elders in their minds, a strange crimson ray shot out from Grim's pupils, striking the drop of Origin Blood that was slowly rotating.

The two forces of different natures provoked each other, immediately triggering a strong energy reaction.

After all, the Blood of Origin was isolated and helpless, naturally unable to cope with this crimson ray. The original stable and pure energy structure immediately disintegrated and instantly dissolved into a cloud of white light that melted into the air.
