Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68: 008: Unknown Alchemy Sphere

Lynch looked at the metal sphere on the stall.

This kind of metal sphere actually has a specific name — Alchemy Sphere. It is the final form of an Alchemy Creation, designed by Wizards specializing in alchemy disciplines. From the very beginning of its creation, precise mechanical structures enable the Alchemy Creation to alter its form, eventually condensing into a sphere of this size.

The purpose of this design is firstly for convenient storage, and secondly because ’circle’ is the spiritual totem of alchemy. Alchemy emphasizes that all things in the universe form a circle, and the original shape of everything in the world is circular.

Therefore, the final product of small-scale Alchemy Creations can morph into a sphere via mechanical structures, while larger ones are incorporated into space magic models to be stored as spheres of the same size.

So, upon seeing an Alchemy Sphere, it essentially confirms that it’s an Alchemy Creation.

Lynch picked up this sphere from the stall and examined it. Sure enough, the surface of the sphere was engraved with that mysterious, twisted script.

The Tower’s rules regarding knowledge are extremely strict. Over the past three years, Lynch had visited the library countless times but had never once gained access to Wizard-level materials. As a result, he still couldn’t decipher this script.

After confirming the script, Lynch immediately asked the stall owner, "What is this?"

The stall owner was a young apprentice in his twenties, likely new to the business. Hearing Lynch’s question, he instantly put on a mysterious demeanor and said, "This is a treasure I discovered in some ruins — a genuine antique from the Acadica Era."

No buildup, completely contrived performance. He might as well have written "I am a fraud" on his face.

"Really?"

Lynch continued, "I don’t see anything that ties this to Acadica." _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"That’s because you don’t recognize its worth." The young stall owner immediately pointed to the mysterious script on the Alchemy Sphere and declared, "Look here, these patterns are exclusive to the Acadica Era!"

Lynch asked, "What are these symbols? Are they letters? What do they mean?"

The stall owner replied, "I’m not entirely sure about that. But I’m certain it’s definitely an Alchemy Creation from the Acadica Era, likely tied to one of its Alchemy Wizard organizations."

Lynch displayed an expression of mild interest: "How much?"

The stall owner said, "Initially, I intended to sell it for twenty thousand Magic Stones, but since you seem to have a connection with it, I’ll let it go for ten thousand... Hey! Don’t walk away!"

Lynch turned and walked off.

There’s no doubt that items from the Acadica Era do hold some value, but not every piece is worth tens of thousands of Magic Stones. Especially when it’s something like this — an unclear Alchemy Creation with unknown function. Selling it at such a high price is purely a scam targeting fools.

The stall owner hurriedly called after him, "Hey, business is all about negotiation, right? You should at least haggle!"

Lynch turned back and said, "20."

The stall contained an assortment of miscellaneous items, all of negligible value — broken copper and worn-out trinkets. Coupled with the stall owner’s status as a Low-level Apprentice, most of these items were likely scavenged from some forgotten corner.

If he offered too high a price, it might arouse suspicion in the stall owner. But 20 Magic Stones was admittedly...

The stall owner’s face turned green.

He exclaimed, "Come on, this is something I risked my life for, braving treacherous ruins to retrieve! Those are genuine ruins!"

Lynch frowned slightly: "25."
