Chapter 2128: 0460 Black Phoenix Parrot (Chapter asks for monthly tickets and subscriptions)_2

The laboratory is enormous, with various research instruments covered in dust, and the array for dust removal has long stopped functioning.

Through the duplication’s perspective, he saw the crystal container, three meters tall, in the center of the laboratory, with runes all over its surface.

Inside the container was Black Water, black as ink, emitting scorching heat and bubbling vigorously, with intricate black tubes crisscrossing.

“It looks a bit like an instrument for bloodline modification experiments.”

Eventually, the duplication found some things resembling laboratory research logs.

After reading them, Levi pondered.

The owner of this relic, name unknown, was researching an Eight-Ring Life Extension Potion called [Thousand-Year Potion]. If successfully researched, it could extend one’s lifespan by a thousand years after consumption.

This potion required the Undying Bird Bloodline, so he imprisoned a Level 8 Undying Bird, researching day and night.

However, after countless experiments, he still hadn’t succeeded.

The final experiment was conducted just before his death. He took a desperate gamble and consumed an uncertain-effect potion, hoping to succeed, but ultimately failed.

He was still unwilling to accept defeat and planned to extend his life through bloodline modification. Clearly, he failed once more.

Soon after, the duplication found a skeleton in the laboratory, wearing an ancient wizard robe, distinctly an ordinary-quality eighth-circle.

Levi had the duplication strip off the robe. An Eight-Ring Wizarding Device, although old, remained usable and could fetch a price at auction. This trip had already netted him a starting sum of ten billion Aether Stones.

Additionally, there was a rustic ring on the skeleton’s finger. Upon seeing the ring’s style, Levi’s heart was filled with joy.

“It’s part of the same series as my trembling Snake Eye Demon Ring…looks like this fellow was also a collector of magic rings.”

This ring, named [Laughing Magic Ring], is said to release [Big Laugh Skill], causing the affected wizard to dance uncontrollably, undoubtedly affecting spellcasting. However, it’s only a probability and hardly effective against primordial soul wizards, possessing only collectible value.

The most important thing should be the contents inside, so he had the duplication store them away to inspect later.

However, up to now, nothing dangerous had appeared to threaten Levi, making him highly vigilant.

He ordered the duplication to gather all experimental diaries and instruments alike.

“Thousand-Year Potion, a nice idea, but alas, lifespan extension is the hardest challenge for wizards; otherwise, wizards would have unified the multiverse already.”

According to Levi’s knowledge, those capable of extending lifespan by a thousand-year level are typically ninth-circle potions or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Occasionally, there are some eight-circle life extension potions available on the market, extending life by about three hundred years, with incredibly high prices, even Levi wouldn’t bear to buy them.

These life extension potions involve an astonishing diversity of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and their refining techniques are even more complex than breakthrough potions.

Moreover, generally speaking, life extension potions can only be taken once.

“Nonetheless, this experimental diary holds reference value; I can ponder and research it next. If in the future, I’m truly able to refine an eight-circle potion with a thousand-year life extension, it would be of epoch-making significance. Hundred Flowers and Triss, if they could gain another thousand-year lifespan, both would have hopes to dash toward the Ninth-Circle Realm.”

Moreover, if the production of such a potion can be slightly increased, many eighth-circle wizards in the Wizard World could benefit, advancing to the ninth-circle.

And Levi, as the potion’s inventor, could also earn handsomely.

However, upon further reflection, it’s unlikely due to the limitation being a lack of resources.

Only if wizards achieve a breakthrough in potion materials science, possibly replacing those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Otherwise, life extension potions remain the patent of very few individuals.

“Such a pity, this lab doesn’t show any traces of Truth Oddity; it either hasn’t been nurtured or has transformed into an oddity and gone somewhere unknown. Twenty thousand years is indeed very long.”

Having searched through the laboratory without finding any other usable clues, Levi withdrew the duplication and turned to leave.

Just then, a sudden change occurred, as a black shadow fell at the entrance ahead, a black light shot out with unimaginable speed.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The Earth Dragon Barrier and various protective force fields shattered one after another.

The black light collided with the [Snow Iron Dragon Armor], piercing a hole at the left chest position, an artifact of high-grade seven-circle quality.

However, after piercing the wizard tool, it was deflected by the Golden Scales on Levi’s body, caught by his hand enveloped in Golden Gravity.

The palm felt immense power, trembling uncontrollably, as Levi focused his eyes, seeing a black feather.

The black shadow uttered a surprised sound, evidently not expecting to be unable to penetrate the enemy’s armor.

Levi’s eyes narrowed, exuding a dangerous aura.

The black shadow, seeing its attack miss, attempted to flee. Transforming into black light, it flew toward the relic’s exit.

Startled to find that the entire relic was surrounded by a ring-shaped silver mountain range over twenty miles in radius, the sky filled with countless black Electric Snakes radiating destructive intent, along with a storm vortex reaching the heavens swirling outside the mountains, and mysterious creatures emerging from the storm heading its way.

A black armored figure, carrying a greatsword like a door plank in hand, was staring at it with a teasing gaze.
