Chapter 7 Purchasing Wizarding Artifacts
In the following days.
Livy was deeply rooted in the libraries of various academic schools.
From the basic psychic knowledge of the Skyowl School to the forbidden prophetic chamber hidden deep beneath the Black Raven School's pyramid, and then to the terrifying live dissection archives of the Brightfeather School...
Li Wei accepted all books, but his way of reading was different from that of normal people: normal people have to stop and savor every page they turn.
Li Wei, on the other hand, flipped through the pages of his book with lightning speed, keeping the time spent on each page steady at 0.1 seconds, because that was the system's scanning time.
For Li Wei now, time is money.
His actions completely baffled Amon, who was monitoring him.
Amon hid in the shadows of the bookshelf, his brow furrowed, wondering what method Levi might have to solve the flesh mutation that even the Archmage Magnus couldn't handle.
In the end, Amon could no longer tolerate Li Wei's insane way of flipping through the pages, so he directly dispatched two of his blind cult members to keep an eye on him.
He went to the Pyramid of Fatep himself to comfort Magnus.
Magnus had been unable to eat or sleep for several days, as he had to fulfill his duties as the mage's personal attendant.
"The Seven Forms of Psychic Flames, 35 points."
"Subspace Creatures Atlas (Incomplete)," 120 points.
"Magnus's Random Annotations on the System of Moods"—Holy crap, 800 points!
Li Wei hid in a corner of the library, watching the numbers on the system panel jump rapidly, a grin spreading from his lips to his ears.
He now finally understood why those lurkers on the System Wizard Forum spoke so arrogantly, with the airs of winners in life; it turned out their money came so easily.
In just one week, Li Wei had read almost all of the publicly available classics from the five major schools of thought, and his pivot points in his account had exceeded 50,000.
He finally stopped scanning the books, opened the system shop, and searched for items and witchcraft that could counter the "curse of the evil god".
A dazzling array of goods appeared, with prices ranging from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of points.
After much deliberation, Li Wei gritted his teeth and spent 30,000 points to buy the highest-rated "Abyss Purification Crystal".
This is a three-ringed magical artifact, not a disposable item, but a permanent wonder that can be used repeatedly.
Moreover, The Wizarding World has thoughtfully adapted it, so as long as you have enough mental energy, you can drive it without considering the user's wizard level.
Clutching the cool purifying crystal in his hand, Li Wei arrived at the first-floor hall of the Futap Pyramid.
The thousands of warriors in the hall remained asleep, but were now surrounded by a group of silent nuns who constantly exuded the characteristics of soulless beings.
As Li Wei passed by, his spiritual energy suddenly froze, almost causing his legs to buckle and him to fall to the ground.
He did not blame the emperor's loyal servants, because he knew this was the method to deal with the flesh mutation of the Thousand Sons, using the Sister of Silence's psychic suppression field to suppress the restlessness of warp energy.
Li Wei carefully slipped through the gaps in the Silent Sisters' procession and arrived at the obsidian platform in the center of the hall.
Magnus sat dejectedly in his chair, staring at the clumps of grayish-white powder that the Thousand Sons had turned into on the table. Amon stood by with his hands hanging down like an old servant.
As Li Wei approached, he also heard Magnus muttering to himself:
"Why? Why must my descendants suffer such misery?"
Seeing that Magnus was engrossed in his own world, Li Wei waited a moment, and when he showed no reaction, he spoke first:
"Magician, I have searched through all the classic texts of the five major schools and combined the wisdom of countless sages. I have found a life-saving remedy. Let me demonstrate it to you."
After a long while, Magnus finally came to his senses, rushed forward, grasped Levi's hand, and said in a trembling voice:
"Really? Li Wei, are you telling the truth?"
"Um."
Li Wei felt his cold, trembling hand, looked at his bloodshot, expectant face, and nodded solemnly.
Then, he silently chanted an incantation and used his mind to activate the magical artifact in his hand. The crystal instantly lit up with a soft silver-white light, and a pure purifying power spread throughout the entire hall.
Wherever he went, a warm and peaceful feeling spread through his body like the warm spring sun, and Li Wei couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Even Magnus, standing to the side, instantly relaxed his tired face, as if bathed in a spring breeze, his eyes regained their light, and he became energetic again.
Even Amon, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines in the hall, had a slight change in expression.
Only now did he finally believe that Li Wei was not a fraud.
About three minutes later, the Thousand Warriors who were sleeping in the crystal coffins gradually began to glow with a faint silver light, and the cold, evil aura of flesh mutation that could be sensed by psychic energy gradually dissipated.
Finally, Li Wei, who was holding the witch artifact, could no longer sense any evil aura, so he stopped activating the artifact, and the silvery-white light that filled the hall slowly subsided.
The next moment,
The thousands of warriors in the entire hall opened their eyes.
They looked around blankly, then struggled to sit up from the crystal coffin and knelt down on one knee before Magnus on the platform, saying:
"Thank you, my father!"
"Good, good, my children, you are finally saved!"
Magnus was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, his voice choked with emotion, and he nodded repeatedly.
Then, he quickly walked to Li Wei's side, grabbed his shoulder tightly, and said:
"Li Wei, you saved my offspring, and I will reward you handsomely! Whatever you desire, I will give you!"
"Your Excellency Archmage, I only wish to follow you and continue my research into psychic powers in Prospero."
Li Wei said sincerely.
He didn't actually have many requirements; he just wanted to acquire enough knowledge to exchange for hub points.
The first-tier wizard inheritance in the system shop was what he was after.
On that day, Magnus ordered a grand celebration throughout the city, with lanterns and decorations everywhere, plunging the entire city into unprecedented joy.
On the third day, Li Wei stood in Magnus's private library at the Pyramid of Fatep, reading a book absentmindedly. Then, through the balcony, he gazed at the imperial chariot suspended above the clouds—the golden Busephalos warship.
He felt something was off; ever since the Emperor embraced Magnus in Mithril Square, he had never come down from his seat.
It was as if a lurking beast was conducting some secret observation.
Li Wei also asked Magnus what was going on.
But Magnus was also unclear about what the Emperor was doing.
But the Emperor has not left and has been staying for a long time. Given the Emperor's decisive and efficient nature, it is impossible for him to stay on one planet for so long.
Li Wei felt that he must have overlooked something.
The next instant, he knew the answer.
Amon stormed in, his face ashen, bringing bad news.
"The flesh mutation has erupted again, although only one person has been affected."
"What?"
Livy immediately followed Amon to Magnus's bedroom in the Pyramid of Phaepe.
As soon as he stepped into the somber room, he saw Magnus staring, pale-faced, at the distorted figure on the bed.
Li Wei's pupils also shrank sharply—it was a thousand warrior, but now his whole body was covered with hideous tentacles, and he was no longer recognizable.
"Damn Tzeentch!"
Li Wei cursed inwardly. Only now did he realize that he had underestimated the wickedness of the Lord of Myriad Changes.
He will not give up so easily; He is definitely still watching everything from the shadows.
No wonder the emperor lingered; he had long known this day would come sooner or later.
