Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 331

Chapter 329: Manager Yuli’s Illness

Chimera Market, in the secret language of Li Jin.

At the invitation of the store manager Yuli, who had a complicated and awed expression, Locke went to the highest-level VIP reception room on the third floor of Li Jin Secret Language.

Locke paused for a moment in front of the reception room door.

Although Madam Irina was waiting inside, he was now a formal wizard and did not need to be as restrained as he was during his apprenticeship period, so it was okay to stay outside the door for a while.

What’s more, Locke noticed something interesting from Yuli Burns, which was the breath of abyssal energy.

If Locke had not become a formal wizard and was still in the gasification stage, with his mental sensitivity improved and he had not conducted in-depth research on the less popular branch of pharmacy – Abyss pharmacy, he might not have been able to capture the fleeting breath of abyss energy.

Locke looked at Yuli Burns and said, “Manager Yuli, have you ever come into contact with abyssal creatures?”

Manager Yuli felt a little restrained when she heard Locke still calling her manager. With Locke becoming an official wizard, the relationship between the two could no longer be as casual as before.

Locke may not care, but she must care about what others think of her.

Thinking back to four years ago, she first met Locke on the deck of a wizard ship.

At that time, Locke was only a third-class wizard apprentice, while she was a first-class wizard apprentice and a mentor for freshmen.

At that time, she didn’t even pay much attention to Locke. Instead, she was still angry because of the deal with Verdantia University. So after the freshmen got off the ship, she had no mood to give them the popular science education that she was supposed to do.

She was also complained about.

Yuli said to Locke with a sigh and awe, “Master Locke, just call me by my name.”

Yuli asked doubtfully in a slightly older voice, “Master Locke, I have never come into contact with creatures from the abyss. They are extremely dangerous to wizard apprentices like us.”

“Although I go out on a lot of academy missions, I don’t usually go to such dangerous places.”

Locke nodded. “I remember you saying before that your current aging curse stemmed from your desire to rapidly increase your mana. So, for a while, you were stuck in a cycle of constantly applying and removing the aging curse. But one day, even after removing the aging curse, the aging didn’t subside, and your mana growth completely stagnated.”

A look of sadness crossed Yuli’s face. “It is like this, Lord Locke.”

“That’s the thing I regret most in my life. If I hadn’t been so eager for quick success, perhaps my mana would already be… 600, or even higher.”

Locke said, “Organize and package the data from the experiments you did on yourself, and send them all to me.”

This matter concerns the energy of the abyss, and he is currently closely connected with the energy of the abyss, so Locke wants to explore the mystery of what happened to Yuli Burns.

Maybe you can find something useful to yourself, at least it can increase your understanding of the abyss ecology.

Understanding the ecology of each place is one of the areas that botanical wizards have to explore. One of the ultimate goals of botanical wizards is to create a perfect ecology in their minds, thereby creating the most powerful natural magic.

Locke said to Yuli, “Have you ever thought that perhaps the aging curse on you has indeed been lifted? Otherwise, so many assistant potion masters and official potion masters wouldn’t be helpless against your symptoms.”

“Because they’ve got it all wrong.”

“What causes you to age isn’t a curse at all, but something else.”

Yuri was stunned, frozen in place.

For more than ten years, she has been trying to solve her problem. From her twenties to now when she is approaching forty, she has not solved this problem.

She had been full of hope from the beginning, thinking that with so many potions and so many powerful potion masters in the world, there must be someone who could solve her problem.
But the reality was that she was disappointed again and again.

She spent all her savings and every penny she earned from working on curing the curse in her body, but no matter what high-level potion she drank, it was of no use.

Even if there was a wizard who was interested in her, he would often let her go after wasting several months without gaining anything and not seeing any special value in this research direction.

After a long time, Yuli herself had become completely desperate and just wanted to end her life.

But at this moment, Locke told her that perhaps she had misunderstood her illness from the beginning to the end, and thus misled everyone.

Locke hesitated for a moment and said, “Maybe I can find a way to cure you. But it’s just a possibility.”

Locke has a relatively deep understanding of the knowledge of Abyss potions. In this month, in addition to writing articles, meditating, and learning the first-ring plant magic, he is also learning the first-ring alchemy knowledge and first-ring breeding knowledge given to him for free by Witch Sophia and Harun Vera, and is constantly learning the first-ring alchemy and breeding knowledge.

My magic level is currently at the first level, so I need to upgrade breeding and potions to the first level as soon as possible, and find a way to obtain the first-level inheritance of the archaeologist.

Therefore, he was already more than 80% sure at this moment, and had roughly determined what the problem with Yuli was.

Yuli was a little excited, but she tried her best to suppress her excitement and whispered to Locke: “Lord Locke, if you can treat me… I will use all my savings…”

“No, I don’t have any savings, I just have a bunch of loans… I’ll spend the rest of my life working for you for free…”

Locke shook his head slightly. “Forget it. You’ve done a good job at Li Jin Secret Language. I’m still working with Senior Irina, and I don’t want her to say that I’m poaching her.”

“If you can help me and keep an eye on my business in the southeastern region in the future, it will be my repayment. Besides, I’m not sure I can completely cure you. After all, this problem has been dragging on for almost twenty years.”

“If you had received the correct treatment from the beginning, it wouldn’t have been so serious.” Locke whispered, “So, I can give you treatment for free. This is an experimental treatment, so don’t set your expectations too high.”

“So, you agree to give me the information and come to my lab so I can understand what’s happening with your body?”

Yuli nodded quickly. Right now, the most precious thing to her was hope.

Locke gave her this hope, so of course she would agree. “Lord Locke, of course I agree.”

“Whatever happens, I will be grateful to you.”

Locke nodded. “Then come find me early in the morning two weeks from now. I should be free then.”

Manager Yuli quickly said, “Okay, Master Locke.”

Locke nodded with satisfaction.

Exploring Yuli’s problems can not only help him understand the abyss and contribute to solving the abyss energy problem in himself, but also quickly improve his alchemy level and make his alchemy level reach the first ring level as soon as possible.
