Chapter 278: Chapter 167: Runic Disintegration, The Hardest Battle

"It was a pleasure doing business with you, Lord Pei Ze. I hope we’ll have the opportunity to trade again."

"You’re welcome anytime."

Pei Ze smiled faintly, watching as an old Wizard left the stone house, his face beaming with joy.

After deciding to make money by selling resonance potions, Pei Ze had immediately asked Yan Dong, Jiang Rui, and the others to help spread the word.

As expected, it wasn’t long before many Wizards came knocking. Even quite a few people from the Silver Light Legion sought him out.

After all, a resource like resonance potions would never have trouble selling, no matter where or when.

Even in the Silver Light Legion, where the benefits were said to be incredibly generous, plenty of Wizards felt they didn’t have enough resonance potions.

If their finances allowed, most Wizards wished they could use a bottle a day.

Crucially, the price Pei Ze offered was also very fair: three hundred Magic Stone Coins or twenty-seven merit points for a bottle of low-grade resonance potion.

Compared to the exchange, it was about a ten percent discount.

As for the medium-grade resonance potions, they were three hundred fifty Magic Stone Coins or thirty merit points per bottle.

Because the production of high-grade and top-grade resonance potions was extremely low, Pei Ze only sold them to a select few, such as Yan Dong, Jiang Rui, and the others who had helped him spread the word, as well as Gu Lin.

As for Yin Xue, Pei Ze gifted her twenty bottles of high-grade and top-grade resonance potions in one go, without asking for a single coin.

Yin Xue was quite astonished when she received the potions.

Even for her, it wasn’t easy to get her hands on so many high-quality resonance potions.

All in all, from selling potions this past month, Pei Ze had earned over fifty thousand Magic Stone Coins and more than two thousand merit points.

Just half a month ago, he had bought up all the Four-Circle Spell models available for exchange and had already mastered, improved, and engraved them.

Compared to Three-Ring Spells, there were far fewer Four-Circle Spells—less than seventy in total.

However, there were quite a few practical ones.

For example, there was Dimension Anchor, which sealed off space and prevented extra-dimensional movement.

There was the Secondary Spell-Nullifying Barrier, which nullified all spells from the first to third rings within a certain area.

The Stone Skin Technique, for reinforcing one’s own Defense Power.

Dimension Door, which allowed teleportation to any location within a certain range.

The Biological Positioning Skill, which could directly locate a creature based on one’s impression of it.

In addition, there were Attack Magics like Ice Storm, Fire Wall Skill, Roar Skill, Phantom Killer, and Weakness Technique.

Control Skills such as Fear Technique, Heavy Fog Skill, Rainbow Pattern, and Plague Skill.

And there were also support spells like Sub-creation Technique, Eye of Secret Magic, Investigation Skill, Greater Invisibility, and Transformation Technique.

In terms of versatility and practicality, Four-Circle Spells far surpassed Three-Ring Spells.

Many of them were worth engraving, and it was a good thing Pei Ze had the thirty-two facets of his second Spirit Crystal, which gave him plenty of space to engrave spells.

Besides Magic, Pei Ze had also re-engraved the Silver Body Alchemy Engraving and completed the reinforcement of his Alchemy Body.

His Alchemy Body, now reinforced to +1, had gained another sixty-two Alchemy Patterns, bringing the total to an astonishing two hundred forty-three.

For any other Wizard, this was the number of Alchemy Patterns one would only see on a +3 reinforced Alchemy Body.

After the reinforcement, Pei Ze’s number of vacant Alchemy Patterns instantly increased to sixty-four, enough to engrave a fourth Alchemy Engraving.

After much consideration, he chose an offensive, or rather, a magic-type Alchemy Engraving: Rune Disintegration!

This Alchemy Engraving was a bit like the Sixth Ring Spell, Dissociation Technique, and its power was in no way inferior.

The difference was that the Dissociation Technique could make any target or life form disappear, whereas Rune Disintegration only worked on living beings, not objects.

It had no effect on inanimate objects, but possessed an extremely powerful spell-penetrating ability against any living thing.

A life form that wasn’t strong enough would be instantly broken down into the tiniest molecules by Rune Disintegration and vanish from the world.

Even a powerful being that managed to withstand it would suffer a devastating, fatal blow.

Although he hadn’t tested it yet, based on the description, Pei Ze estimated that Rune Disintegration’s power was far greater than that of the Burning Thunder Burst Magic Tattoo.

At the very least, instantly killing a Second-level Gasification Wizard would be no problem at all.

If he were to burn the Alchemy Engraving, he could probably even instantly kill a Level 2 Crystalized Wizard with ease.

Even a Level 3 Wizard would be severely injured, if not killed outright.

Rune Disintegration required a total of sixty-two Alchemy Patterns, and Pei Ze, already well-practiced, completed the engraving process with ease.

However, this Alchemy Seal was quite expensive; the materials alone cost more than three thousand merit points.

After engraving the Alchemy Engraving, Pei Ze was left with only six or seven thousand Magic Stone Coins.

’I’ll still have to keep selling potions to make money.’

Pei Ze mused.

Over the past month or so of cultivation, his Spiritual Power had grown considerably, already approaching a level of 156.

But the price for this was that one Purified Soul Crystal had already been depleted of its energy.

Pei Ze estimated that at this rate, the second Purified Soul Crystal would last three months at most.

’Before then, I must prepare new Purified Soul Crystals so my cultivation efficiency isn’t affected.’

’And Faith Crystals. Before leaving the Plane Battlefield, it’s best to stockpile enough Purified Soul Crystals and Faith Crystals. They’ll be hard to come by after I return to Chenxi City.’

The lockdown on Red Maple City had not yet been lifted.

But even if it were, Pei Ze had no plans to leave just yet.

He planned to return to Chenxi City after stockpiling enough cultivation resources here, or perhaps after advancing to Level 2 Liquefaction. It wouldn’t be too late then.

There weren’t many missions available at the moment, so most Free Mages didn’t have a lot of merit points, and trades were generally conducted with Magic Stone Coins. But Pei Ze still had his customer base in the Silver Light Legion, so he wasn’t worried about being unable to earn enough merit points to exchange for Faith Crystals and Purified Soul Crystals.
