Chapter 574 - 334: Extracting Enchantment Affixes from All Things

Chapter 574: Chapter 334: Extracting Enchantment Affixes from All Things

It extracts inanimate matter, turning it into raw materials for Enchantment.

On the table was a bottle of a Potion.

Life Recovery Elixir.

This Potion was for Level 5 Reincarnators. It could rapidly heal even severe injuries.

Its healing Effect was comparable to a moderate healing spell from a Level 5 Healer.

Taking it multiple times in a short period would build up a resistance, greatly diminishing its restorative effects.

It was quite expensive, selling on the market for 150 gold coins per bottle.

But in a critical moment, a single bottle of this Potion could be enough to save a life.

"Extract."

WHOOSH—

A faint light appeared in Lu Cang’s hand. An Enchanter’s core skills included methods for concocting true Enchantment Stones and Enchanting Liquids from basic materials.

It was much like brewing a Potion.

However, Enchantment Stones and Enchanting Liquids created this way had to adhere to specific material synthesis Rules; you couldn’t just create whatever you wanted out of thin air.

However, the Potion in front of Lu Cang glowed faintly, and at the same time, a solid Enchantment Stone materialized in his hand.

The Potion hadn’t disappeared.

The Enchantment Stone had appeared in his hand out of thin air.

Divine Level Extraction.

The Potion’s effect had been transformed into a flawless Enchantment Stone. As an Enchanter, Lu Cang could sense the Enchantment Effect it contained.

Enchantment—Life Recovery: Grants a healing effect equivalent to a Tier Five Life Recovery Elixir.

’Will it really work the way I think it will?’

Lu Cang casually picked up a piece of iron Armor. He had forged at least a hundred such pieces recently.

It was a piece of Tier One Black Iron Armor.

It had no Enchantments.

Lu Cang gently pressed the Enchantment Stone against it.

A yellow-green light flared across the Armor... Lu Cang felt a burst of Life Energy.

The Armor had been successfully enchanted.

Enchantment Effect—Life Recovery.

’It worked.’

WHOOSH—

In the next moment, the Armor materialized on Lu Cang’s body. He could feel a faint, iridescent green light enveloping him.

Although he wasn’t injured, Lu Cang could feel that he was now constantly under the effect of the Potion.

’It really is... exactly the same.’

The Effect wasn’t diminished in any way.

As long as he wore the armor, the effect would be permanent.

Moreover, it didn’t generate any resistance... and the effect wouldn’t fade over Time.

Potions themselves had a limited duration, and resistance was a complex and troublesome issue. For most Potions, one couldn’t drink multiple bottles in a short period, as the Effect would diminish with each dose.

’If this works...’

With a thought, Lu Cang retrieved the Melting Sacred Flame and the Longevity Flower from his Storage Space.

Lu Cang touched the Melting Sacred Flame with one hand.

The Melting Sacred Flame glowed faintly and became an Enchantment Stone.

’This works too.’

Next, Lu Cang touched the Longevity Flower.

The Longevity Flower glowed faintly, and a pool of golden liquid appeared in his hand—an Enchanting Liquid.

’So it works on everything...’

Enchantment Effect—Melt Steel: Grants flames the ability to melt hard metals.

Enchantment Effect—Longevity and Life Extension: Slowly extends one’s maximum lifespan.

The effect of the Melting Sacred Flame was just as Lu Cang had expected.

However, the effect from the Longevity Flower was different from what he had imagined.

Eating a Longevity Flower directly extended one’s lifespan by fifty years.

Lu Cang had wondered if turning the Longevity Flower into an Enchantment Effect would grant him fifty years of life every so often.

After all, the effect from the Life Recovery Elixir hadn’t been diminished at all.

’Apparently... I was overthinking things.’

’Or maybe I’d need to turn the Longevity Flower into a true Elixir of Immortality to get that kind of effect?’

Still, these Enchantment Effects were far more powerful than ordinary ones.

’I should get more materials and study this properly.’

Lu Cang waved his hand over the workbench again, and all sorts of strange and wondrous materials appeared upon it.

Lu Cang planned to spend the night figuring out the limits of this Enchantment ability.

’If this works out... the next step is to forge a full set of exclusive gear for myself.’

Up to this point, Lu Cang felt like he was fighting as a blank slate, unable to rely on any external aids and forced to depend solely on his own raw strength.

’My own power is solid, but if I had a few pieces of equipment to match... battles would surely be much easier.’

...

A day passed.

Lu Cang had used up all four of his Future Previews.

According to his previews, tomorrow’s journey would proceed as planned, and they would reach Moonfall Island in about two days.

Nothing unexpected was going to happen on Moonfall Island.

As for extracting Enchantment properties, Lu Cang had figured out the basic rules. He could only extract from tangible substances.

Gases, solids, and liquids all worked.

But he couldn’t extract Magic or Combat Skills...

A substance, as a whole, could only be extracted once.

Dividing it into parts or processing it into another substance afterward wouldn’t allow for further extractions.

People, too, could be extracted.

But only from their corpses.

Doing so would yield an extremely Special Enchantment Effect that varied depending on the person extracted.

Generally, the stronger the person, the more powerful the resulting Enchantment property.

This made Lu Cang a little tempted to try extracting from himself.

But since it only worked on inanimate matter, he gave up the idea.

He’d even considered workarounds to extract from himself in other ways, but after some testing, none of them worked.

Furthermore, while he could wear multiple pieces of gear with the same Enchantment property, stacking them produced diminishing returns, much like building up a resistance; the Effect would be slightly reduced.

Over the course of the night, Lu Cang had crafted a full set of ’Realm of Ascension’ armor.

As a result, the combined Effect of all ten pieces was only equivalent to that of three Realm of Ascension potions. The diminishing returns were significant.

But... it was still a good thing.

Wearing this set was like being able to take an extra three full doses of a Realm of Ascension potion while ignoring resistance, which would lower the difficulty of his next Profession change considerably.

Although the number of Professions he was acquiring was increasing, he kept obtaining things that lowered the difficulty of the process.

These two factors canceled each other out, maintaining a strange sort of equilibrium.

With Divine Level Extraction, he could now craft many interesting pieces of equipment. And not just equipment, either.

Lu Cang could apply an Enchantment Effect to any substance, so the possibilities were endless.

...

「Miselux—Bai Xia Port」

This was the northern port of Miselux.

Early on the morning of April 29th, Lu Cang, Leng Qingying, and Lu Luwei arrived at the port docks together.
