The auxiliary chip from his previous life possessed powerful recording capabilities and terrifying computational power, and in order to better assist researchers, it came equipped with a microscope precise down to the atomic level.
When he had transmigrated, it had fused with Leilin's soul, undergoing many incredible changes.
Now it seemed that in terms of bloodline purification, Leilin, who possessed the Chip, held an enormous advantage.
After all, bloodline purification was an extremely precise and tedious process, and the one thing the Chip feared least was exactly that sort of work.
"No wonder the final test the Crimson Grand
Leilin felt a flash of understanding, and his thoughts turned to the Crimson Grand Wizard's several breeding chambers.
"Whether it was the laboratory in Polar Night City or Dilun Garden, the Crimson Grand Wizard was constantly conducting experiments in bloodline adjustment and splicing. I wonder if he ultimately succeeded..."
...
Several days later, Leilin once again made his way into the Black Bone Forest Academy beneath the heavy, overcast clouds overhead.
"Really..." Leilin looked at the graveyard and academy buildings that had been mostly repaired, a bitter smile crossing his face.
The Bozayin he had killed was a member of the Liliter Family, which wielded considerable influence within the academy.
Although it was unlikely they had figured out that Leilin was the one who killed Bozayin, he still had to accept a certain degree of risk.
If it were possible, Leilin would never have returned to the academy, but the reason he had rushed back was that he had important matters to attend to.
"Can't be helped — Black Bone Forest Academy has the most complete resources and laboratories. If I want to purify an ancient bloodline as quickly as possible and gather the materials needed to prepare a Tranquility Potion, I have to come back..."
Leilin had confidence in the precautions he had taken, and on top of that, Bozayin had died inside a secret realm. Due to the effects of the obstruction magical array, the specific details of his death would be extremely difficult for people in the main world to detect.
And relying solely on mundane investigative forces would require a great deal of time.
After all, Bozayin and the others had snuck out on their own — even their own family didn't know where they had gone.
Moreover, Leilin had been racing back specifically so that he could gather the resources he needed and complete his experiments before the Liliter Family realized what had happened, then get out as quickly as possible.
"It's a bit risky, but according to my calculations and the Chip's simulations, I can absolutely escape before the Liliter Family reacts!"
After verifying Leilin's entry passphrase, the Rock Gorilla that he had already met once quickly admitted him into the underground academy.
Leilin didn't even return to his quarters — he went straight to the academy counter and spent a large amount of Magic Stones to exchange for resources.
To prepare a Tranquility Potion and complete the bloodline experiment, the resources required were staggering!
And many of the materials and equipment were extremely rare — only the Black Bone Forest Academy would have them.
What excited Leilin the most was that under the academy's current policies, he could purchase resources in bulk at prices several times cheaper than what the market offered.
He had already thoroughly offended a major Wizard family, and hiding anywhere would be useless. The only solution was to improve his own strength as quickly as possible.
"The spiritual power standard for a Third-rank Apprentice to advance to a First-level Wizard, according to the Chip's estimate, should be around 15!"
Leilin thought to himself, then issued a command to the Chip: "Scan my current status!"
"Task initiated! Collecting subject data!" The Chip executed Leilin's command with meticulous precision.
"Leilin Farell — Third-rank Apprentice, Formal Knight. Strength: 3.1. Agility: 3.3. Constitution: 3.4. Spirit: 16.1. Mana: 16 (mana is synchronously determined by spiritual power). Status: Healthy."
Ever since Leilin had used the Blood Rage Potion to boost his spiritual power to its critical threshold last time, no amount of meditation had raised it by even a single point.
It seemed that the basic Meditation Method he had obtained upon entering the academy had completely lost its effectiveness on him.
In truth, many Formal Wizards were in this same state. Without access to advanced Meditation Methods, every bit of progress and improvement required vast quantities of rare resources, and due to factors like bodily tolerance, each subsequent advancement demanded even more — creating a vicious cycle.
Add to that the problems of choosing an unsuitable Talent Model, difficulty in finding suitable advanced spell templates, and the enormous consumption involved, and these issues firmly dragged down the advance of any Formal Wizard.
As a result, across the entire South Coast, the most common type of Formal Wizard was those who had just advanced to the First level. Wizards like Slai who had reached the Second level were already considered upper echelon — the heads of major organizations and academy directors. As for Third-level Wizards, they were terrifying figures standing at the very pinnacle of the South Coast's wizard world!
But now, with an advanced Meditation Method in hand, Leilin had every possibility of catching up to their pace!
"My spiritual power has already reached the standard for advancement. Next is to switch to a new Meditation Method, purify the ancient bloodline, and attempt to advance to First-level Warlock!"
A trace of fervor flickered through Leilin's eyes, and he quickened his pace.
After procuring all the resources, Leilin didn't even go to see his mentor Guofate — he simply left a message saying that he needed to conduct an important experiment and would be in seclusion for a while.
