Chapter 214: Alchemy
"Then should we really stop all the aggression, Leader?" First Elder asked in a slightly indignant tone.
"There is no choice," Noah said with a tired sigh. "We might need to form an alliance with the other villages if we want to escape this calamity, if it really is a beast tide."
"Does anybody have an opinion against it?"
First Elder remained silent, and all the other elders didn't speak either. However, their expressions were grim and serious.
"Then the meeting is adjourned for the day. All aggression toward the other villages will be stopped, and we will send messengers to each village to set up an alliance. If it is really a beast tide, a group of elders will be sent to investigate," Noah waved his hand.
Since three of the newly appointed instructors were killed, the danger level was naturally high. Although their ranking among the instructors was at the bottom of the barrel, they were still peak Tier One wizards. If they couldn't retreat, then sending another instructor would be simply seeking death.
Sending the elders was an appropriate choice and tier two existence was very hard to kill with the arsenal of spells they have in possession.
"Leader, I would like to volunteer to go," the First Elder stood up with a respectful expression.
Noah was a little stunned when he heard this. "Are you sure, First Elder?"
"Yes, for the village, I am willing to risk my life," the First Elder said with a heroic expression on his face.
"The First Elder is truly heroic; he does everything for the village. It is our great fortune that he was born in our village," one of the elders heavily praised the First Elder, and the others followed suit showering him with praises.
Noah just remained silent, with a smile on his face.

Aur was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his long white hair fluttering. In his two hands were two high-grade mana crystals.
Even after his breakthrough to tier one, the mana crystals had not exhausted. After all, these were high-grade mana crystals that were even used by tier three wizards.
In his mental space, continuous streams of mana were being refined, turning into light-blue mana.
Inside his mental space, slowly strands of light blue mana appeared and bit by bit increased, although the process was a little slow, but still Aur could cope with it.
"I have already filled my mental space by around ten percent. If I can add fifteen percent more, then I can finally break through and reach mid-tier one wizard realm," Aur thought with a contemplative frown.
"Even though my speed of absorbing the mana is comparable to the tier one wizard realm, this process is eerily slow," thinking of these, a bitter smile crept up his lips.
"Looks like I need to use potions."
Aur spoke and immediately stood up.
Using potions could be said to be luxurious, as they could directly increase the rate of refining mana, making your progress at least twice as effective. However, it was a luxury that even an elder couldn't afford currently.
These types of potions cost around a high-grade mana crystal to buy, and the entire wealth of Aur combined was only at most four high-grade mana crystals combined, if he didn't consider the scammable high-grade mana crystal which was still in his possession.
And almost half of his wealth was actually right in front of Aur currently: the two high-grade mana crystals, with the mana inside it gradually becoming thin, with cracks all over it.
For one to make a potion, one needed to be an alchemist first, and in the entirety of the whole village, there was only a single alchemist present. Which showed how difficult it was to become an alchemist.
"Luckily, I have something that could offset these things if it is according to my conjecture," Aur thought.
"If I can become an alchemist, my practice speed will increase several times, and my wealth will also soar."
"Muscle System."
Instantly, a blue panel materialised in front of him.

"It's already been ten days."
Aur directly allocated all the stat points he had to the intelligence attribute.

The desire of hunger and devour slightly was immediately suppressed.
"Not bad," Aur muttered and lightly knocked on a certain area of his wall.
The wall parted ways, and a dimly lit room was revealed.
Squeak!
Kree!
Immediately, countless beast screeches rang in Aur's ears, making him frown.
"Quiet," Aur lightly said, and although it was said in a light tone, every beast stopped screeching and they looked at the tall youth in front of them like looking at a devil there body instinctively trembling.
Aur looked at the cages where the beasts were trapped with a satisfied expression on his face as he casually walked up to a snake-like creature, which was around ten feet long with sharp canine teeths and its green vertical eyes flashing with a fierce light.
"Well, a ten-footer which has reached the mortal limit, eh," Aur looked at the snake with amused eyes. Although these kinds of snakes were rare in his previous world, they were quite common in this world.
And this wasn't a normal snake either. Its power could be comparable to the mortal limit, which meant it was as powerful as a peak wizard apprentice!
But in front of Aur, it was just a little roundworm at most, who could only shiver in just the mere presence of his.
Aur, in a practised motion, opened the cage and allowed the snake to go out. However, the snake, too frightened, cowered in fear, staying in the cage.
"Meaningless," Aur said while shaking his head with a sigh. His crimson eyes reflected a pattern of a bear's mouth, and he touched the snake lightly without even letting it react.
The snake trembled for a short time before falling directly to the floor, motionless.
Aur felt his blood and Qi rapidly increasing, and his body being strengthened; the power in his muscles also increased with it.

Aur looked at his muscle attribute, which had increased by almost 0.11 points, with a satisfied expression on his face.
The desire to consume eloped him again, but now he slightly could control it, and he continuously activated his Mind incarnation spell, which also helped. Stay with m_vl_em_p_yr
Within just half an hour, Aur completely recovered.
"If it was an ordinary wizard, they might have already lost their mind," Aur muttered in a strange tone. This was the power of the demonic spells.
Although the side effect was high, as long as you imprint it, your combat power increases by several times in just a moment.
"Now let's practice Alchemy," Aur thoughtfully looked at his ring and took out a book.
