Witcher: I Can Extract Everything - Chapter 323

Chapter 323 Intermediate

Forest Island, cave.

The Gehrus found a cave for Heath. It was located on a hillside on the west side of Forest Island. According to the Gehrus, this was the place with the highest concentration of elements in the entire Forest Island, especially in the cave. One could even see elemental particles visible to the naked eye.

Walking into the cave, Heath observed it for a while.

It was not as dark as the other caves. There were many light spots floating in the cave. Blue, red, and all kinds of colors were dancing like colorful fireflies. These were the products of the materialization of the elements.

Looking at the elemental light spots in front of him, Heath nodded in satisfaction. The Gehrus were right. The elements here were so dense that it was unbelievable. They were just standing there doing nothing, Heath could also feel the elements clearly surging into his body.

“Wizard, Wizard, how is it? Is it okay here?”

“Gehru didn’t lie. Gehru is telling the truth. This is the place with the densest elements on the island,” the Gehru said as if he was taking credit.

Heath nodded. “I’m very satisfied. I can’t find anything more outstanding than this.”

In the cramped cave, one only needed to set up a simple magic circle at the entrance to seal this place into a sealed space so that one would not have to worry about being disturbed while cultivating.

Outside was a lush forest, filled with all kinds of rare magic plants and animals.

From now on, he would live and meditate here every day. When he finished meditating, he would go out to the forest to collect and extract. Occasionally, he could even go to the beach to relax. It was really not bad.

Heath said, “Alright, I’ll stay here for the time being.”

After that day, Heath settled down on Forest Island.

Every morning, he would wake up at 6 o’clock sharp and meditate for the first time for two hours. After that, he would have breakfast and then practice his sword for an hour or so. After that, he would practice, read, or experiment with magic, which would last until noon.

The gathering was usually arranged after lunch. In the afternoon, more magic plants and demonized creatures would show up, so it was easier to gather them. The afternoon sun did not only make humans drowsy, it was the same for magic plants and demonized creatures. At this time, there was less resistance to the gathering

The harvesting continued until 3 or 4 o’clock. When his spiritual power was almost fully recovered, he would start meditating in the afternoon and continue until dinner time. After dinner, Heath would go to the beach to practice his sword.

It was most comfortable to practice his sword on the beach with the setting sun. At that time, the sun was not shining. It was most relaxing to observe the waves and listen to the sound of the sea breeze. At this time, it was the easiest to understand some things. It was especially helpful to improve one’s strength.

It was already late at night after two hours of swordsmanship practice. However, Heath would still read some books or do some magic research. After he was done, he would meditate for the last time before going to sleep.

With such regular, diligent, and repeated efforts, Heath’s strength was also growing rapidly.

Spiritual Power: 260…

Spiritual Power: 270… Spiritual Power: 280…

Spiritual Power: 290…

Spiritual Power: 300!

Finally, after a long period of hard work, Heath’s spiritual power had successfully reached 300 points. He had already reached the peak of the beginner Wizard level, and had met the last requirement to advance to an intermediate-rank Wizard.

Next was the breakthrough.

There was nothing much to say about the process of the breakthrough. After all, Heath had already met all the requirements for the breakthrough a long time ago. Soul mutation degree, Sublimation Potion… It could be said that everything was ready.

Everything happened naturally. After taking the Sublimation Potion, Heath successfully completed his breakthrough to an intermediate Wizard. He successfully sublimated his soul and officially entered the Intermediate Wizard level.

Forest Island, Cave.

Heath, who had just finished his breakthrough to become an intermediate-level Wizard, slowly stood up.

He shook his head. The abundant spiritual power made him feel more comfortable than he had ever felt before. His entire spiritual power spread out uncontrollably, turning into countless fine threads that twined around the surrounding land and walls. Even reaching out of the cave, he could touch the grass and forest outside.

When these substances came into contact with the spiritual tentacles, a strange feeling was transmitted back to Heath’s spiritual sea through the tentacles.

It was a completely different feeling from a beginner Wizard. When he was compared to a beginner Wizard, he only felt that he was very powerful. Now, he felt that his soul seemed to have improved by a level. It became tougher, stronger, and sharper. “This is amazing!”

After praising loudly, Heath muttered in his heart, ‘System, display attributes.’

(Beep.)

After the familiar crisp sound of an electronic notification, rows of data were displayed in front of the virtual projection screen.

[Strength 108, Agility 126, Vitality 102, Spiritual Power 506]

506!

This was the most direct manifestation of the power of an intermediate-rank Wizard.

The spiritual force of a beginner-rank Wizard was only between 100-300. Even the most powerful beginner-rank Wizard would not be able to surpass it. 300 points of spiritual power were the limit of a beginner-rank Wizard.

As for an intermediate-rank Wizard, they had just advanced and already had 500 points of spiritual power, almost double that of a peak beginner-rank Wizard!

With more spiritual power, the Wizard could cast more spells. In addition, spiritual power affected the strength of most Wizard’s spells. The higher a Wizard’s spiritual force was, the stronger the spells they could cast.

Other than that…

Heath lowered his head and looked at the column of life force displayed on the data panel.

Life Force: 528!

Before advancing to become an intermediate-rank Wizard, Heath’s vitality was 520. Now it had become 528, which meant that he had increased by 8 points. In other words, he had gained eight years of lifespan.

This seemed to be an insignificant increase, but Heath knew that this meant that from now on, his life force had truly risen to another level, a higher dimension.

Before this, Heath’s life force was 520. This was the result of all the improvements he had made after advancing to become a Wizard. This was already the limit of his life force. At the level of a beginner Wizard, no matter how hard he worked… The upper limit would never increase, and it would only decrease in the future.

But now that he had increased by 8 points, this slight change meant that his life force could rise again, and he would have more opportunities.

At the beginner rank of a Wizard, a Wizard’s life force of 500 points was the upper limit, and the lifespan of a beginner-rank Wizard was around 500 years.

At the intermediate rank, the upper limit of one’s life force could be increased to 1000 points, and the maximum lifespan would be around 1000 years!

This was the most obvious difference between a beginner-rank Wizard and an intermediate-rank Wizard, and was also the beginner-rank Wizard’s greatest pursuit towards the intermediate rank!

A longer lifespan.

After advancing to an intermediate Wizard, it also meant that they had taken a greater step towards truth and eternity…
