Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 423 - 42 Freedom of Soul Essence

Garon the Great Wizard’s Ritual Magic, named the Multi-Dimensional Space Storage Technique.

The effect of this spell is to create a Dimension Space Bubble through ritual magic and place it within the Dimension Gap. Since the location of this Space Bubble is within the Dimension Gap, it is accessible from various dimensions, thereby enabling the transportation of materials across dimensions.

It must be said that this is a supremely ingenious concept.

Normally, material transportation across dimensions is a privilege reserved only for the World Master and certain ethereal beings. However, through this spell, even a One Ring Wizard, or a Wizard Apprentice, can transport materials from other dimensions to the Material World.

But this spell has a small drawback—it’s very expensive.

This ritual magic requires a large amount of rare materials, some of which are even extinct, making them extremely difficult to find.

Richard, based on his experience, made a rough estimate. Conservatively, this Ritual Magic would cost nearly a million Magic Essence.

Moreover, this Dimension Space Bubble will not exist forever; its lifespan is only ten years.

After this period, the Dimension Space Bubble will automatically shatter. The items stored inside will fall into the Dimension Gap, potentially lost forever.

No wonder even Garon the Great Wizard mentioned that this Ritual Magic was expensive when he spoke of it.

For an ordinary wizard, this would absolutely be a losing deal.

But clearly, Richard is no ordinary wizard.

With this Dimension Space Bubble, he could continuously send Soul Essence from the Nightmare World back to the Wizard World.

This essentially meant that Richard had virtually achieved freedom for Soul Essence.

In the Wizard World, Soul Essence is an extremely hot commodity. As soon as it hits the market, it is frantically snapped up by Three Rings Wizards.

As long as Richard is willing, not only could he recoup his investment on Soul Essence, but he could also make a substantial profit.

Of course, Richard didn’t plan on doing this for now.

There was a great risk involved, and it was unnecessary.

Richard Jolod’s Commerce, which laid golden eggs, brought him a huge amount of Magic Essence every year.

Although a million Magic Essence would cause him a long-term heartache, it wouldn’t bankrupt him.

...

"Richard, mate, the items on your list are quite niche."

Bob’s distressed voice came through the Communication Crystal Ball, to which Richard responded with a laugh, "It’s exactly because they’re niche that I reached out to you, Brother Bob.

For ordinary items, would I need to involve the president of the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce?"

"Ha-ha, my presidency is nothing compared to yours at Richard Jolod’s Commerce. You’re a big shot among the White Wizards.

By the way, I heard Tesla Chamber of Commerce is now researching your Magic Support Vehicles, planning to launch similar weapons. You might want to keep an eye on this matter."

Tesla Chamber of Commerce...

Richard frowned at the mention. The Tesla Chamber of Commerce was a behemoth in the Wizard Commerce. In the Wizard World’s White Wizard Army, more than half were armed with Alchemy Weapons produced by their commerce.

Moreover, an epoch ago, Tesla Chamber of Commerce had merged with the Zeppelin Airship Chamber of Commerce.

Now, from Alchemy Magic Stone Cannons to War Airships, Tesla Chamber of Commerce had it all, even participating in the construction of Floating Cities.

Legend had it that the Tesla Chamber of Commerce was backed by the Truth Council.

Being targeted by such a behemoth was not a good thing.

"Alright, thanks for the heads-up, brother."

"Good, just be careful. Although your Magic Support Vehicle has proven the viability of this weapon, creating an Alchemy Weapon from scratch is not a simple task.

Especially for a big chamber like Tesla."

"Hmm?" Richard was slightly puzzled, "Shouldn’t a big chamber like Tesla have ample technical reserves? Designing an Alchemy Weapon should be quite simple for them."

The other side of the Crystal Ball fell silent for a moment.

"...You don’t usually get involved in the operations of the commerce, do you?"

"Indeed."

"Brother, the larger a commerce, the slower its operations. Unless the higher-ups in Tesla Chamber of Commerce give the green light directly to this project,

I dare say, in a few hundred years, it might still only have a name.

Alright, brother, I’ve got other matters to deal with, but I’ll keep an eye out for the items you need."

With that, the Crystal Ball abruptly darkened.

Richard pocketed the Crystal Ball, somewhat reflective.

The larger the organization, the slower the efficiency—this rule also stood true in the Wizard World.

Nevertheless, Richard still prioritized upgrading the Magic Support Vehicles on his agenda.

The Magic Support Vehicle, which was another golden egg-laying hen, was something he had no intention of giving up.

...

Naturally, gathering materials could not be entrusted to just one person.

Besides the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce, Richard also asked Jolod for help.

Jolod had previously been a well-connected Alchemy Wizard and now, as a Three Rings Wizard and president of Richard Jolod’s Commerce, his connections were no less extensive than Bob’s.

Moreover, assigning tasks to Jolod had another advantage—it allowed them to leverage the relationship with the Black Tower Wizard Academy.

After all, Jolod was the Deputy Dean of Black Tower Wizard Academy, and using the academy’s channels to help his student gather some items, though somewhat nepotistic, was something no one would fuss over.

Especially since Jolod wasn’t doing it for free.

Besides Jolod, Garon Wizard College’s Jimmy was also helping Richard gather materials.

With these three forces combined, Richard waited for five years, spending nearly eight hundred thousand Magic Essence, and finally gathered all the materials needed for the Ritual Magic.

For an average Three Rings Wizard, it would be an understatement to say it would take a lifetime to gather these materials. Without thousands of years and millions of Magic Essence, one could hardly acquire such items.

This is the power of connections.

With the materials collected, Richard immediately began preparing for the ritual in earnest.

In terms of difficulty, the Multi-Dimensional Space Storage Technique was about at the level of Seven Rings, only more complex than the former Gate of Nightmare.

Fortunately, this time Richard did not need to simplify it; he only needed a few Three Rings Wizards to assist him.

Above Extreme North City.

Jolod gazed at the bustling Extreme North City, slightly spellbound.

It was hard to imagine that this thriving city beneath his feet was a barren land over two hundred years ago.

Two hundred years was not a long time for a wizard, but during that time, these mortals transformed this barren land into what it was now.

Jolod muttered to himself, "This kid really is underplaying his talents by becoming a Black Wizard."

Suddenly, a streak of light flew out of the Wizard Tower and came to his side.

"Teacher, what are you looking at?"

Jolod shook his head, "Nothing much, go on down."

In the reception hall of the Wizard Tower, a group of distinguished Three Rings Wizards were chatting leisurely.

"This Wizard Tower is quite remarkable."

The Double-sided Wizard who had fought alongside Richard stomped on the reception hall floor. The rebounding force from the ground was clearly not something ordinary enchanted bricks could provide.

"Hey, with his wealth, it’s quite normal for the Wizard Tower to be built luxuriously," replied Stio, who was familiar with Richard.

"Did you see that city outside? He spent money to build this city. He established a city in the land of Extreme North and then developed it to what it is now.

The investment here... heh."

Hearing Stio’s words, the present wizards started mentally calculating Richard’s expenses.

But they did not ponder for long.

Because the costs were too great, obviously not plausible numbers.

"What are you all discussing?"

Richard’s voice suddenly came from the entrance as he entered the Wizard Tower smiling, accompanied by Jolod.

"Nothing much, just talking about the city outside," Stio joked, "I still don’t quite understand why you built this city."

"To pass the time, and make some money along the way," Richard replied matter-of-factly, "It’s not like I’m doing mad wizard experiments."

"Can this even make money?" a wizard exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, the taxes in Extreme North City are quite high. Although theoretically, all these revenues belong to Extreme North City, they would definitely be delivered to me if I asked."

Extreme North City, being dominated by mortals, its leaders knew all too well that all its prosperity was built around the Wizard Tower at the city’s heart.

Without Richard’s involvement, the city would soon be engulfed by blizzards once more.

The wizards present were momentarily stunned, then nodded in admiration.

Such dealings, which seemed unprofitable to others, were turned into profitable ventures by Richard; it was no wonder he was wealthy.

Richard glanced around the reception hall.

"Everyone is here, let’s begin."

Saying so, Richard led the others to the fourth basement level of the Wizard Tower.

This room, which once housed the Dragon King’s egg, had now been transformed by Richard into a massive ritual hall.

A huge and intricate Magic Array was set up in the center of the hall, and in the corners, Richard had also specifically placed magic incense to help the wizards think clearer.

This ritual magic was incredibly costly, and if it failed, even Richard would need a few hundred years to recover.

Thus, he did not mind taking any measures that might increase the chance of success.

For this, he even had Ali perform a morale-boosting good luck ritual.

Upon entering the hall, Richard distributed the steps that the few wizards would need to perform.

Including Jolod, Richard had invited seven Three Rings Wizards to help, among them were even two from the Soul School.

And this directly reduced the casting difficulty of the ritual magic to about Four Rings.

Casting Four Rings spells was definitely within reach for the many Three Rings Wizards there.

The wizards took the scrolls and carefully read through them. If successful, each of them would receive two thousand Magic Essence.

Even if it failed, they would receive one thousand.

Although none of the wizards present were short on Magic Essence, such almost free money was not something anyone would throw away.

Not to mention, this was an invitation from Richard.

After familiarizing themselves with the spells, the people stood at the eight corners of the Magic Array as required by the ritual magic.

Then, starting with Richard, the wizards involved in the ritual began chanting old spells, organizing the magic.

The age-old incantations echoed in the hall, as if whispering murmurs from the Ancient Times, mixed with the smoke of magic incense, turning the ritual magic into an ancient sacrifice.

As the incantation continued, the materials in the Array also began to change.

These strange ingredients came together under the influence of the magic, gradually forming a pitch-black void.

This was the key prop of the ritual magic — the Dimension Space Bubble.

As the Dimension Space Bubble formed, the wizards in attendance immediately began chanting in unison.

The massive sound of the incantations seemed to burst through the ceiling, tearing through the space, and under the influence of these incantations, the Magic Array under everyone’s feet grew brighter and brighter.

Finally, in a resonating chant that sounded like a majestic tolling bell, the veil of the world was lifted, and the Dimension Space Bubble successfully entered the gap between dimensions.

Seeing this scene, Richard silently breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a success!
