Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

"Wuxiang?"

Ali looked at Richard with some confusion.

"Yes, Wuxiang is a pet I raised," Richard turned to explain, "I set its future direction as Four Elements Creation. Judging by the current situation, even if the war ends, it still has its own work to do."

"Four Elements Creation?"

Richard's statement left Ali a bit puzzled.

Isn't Four Elements Creation something only the Sixth Circle Great Wizard who controls the Four Elements Rules can achieve?

Could it be that Richard raised a Level 6 Creature as a pet?

Seeing Ali's confusion, Richard waved his hand and smiled, "After our tour, I'll take you to meet it. You'll understand then.

Before I fell asleep, I entrusted it to the care of the Alchemy Crown. Three hundred years have passed now, it should have grown enough."

...

The lifestyle of the new era wizards gave Richard a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness.

Thanks to the advancement in information technology, wizards now always carry an Information Crystal Ball during their movements, gathering information on various aspects from it.

For the wealthier wizards, they may even choose to replace the Crystal Ball with Information Magic Equipment.

The shortened cultivation cycle for wizards means the new wizards no longer possess the transcendent detachment of the old wizards.

They are more like a group of people called wizards, still in their adolescence.

"They have indeed hit a good era."

Looking at the Information Crystal Ball in his hand, Richard couldn't help but exclaim.

On the Crystal Ball, all kinds of knowledge that required spending a lot of money and finding connections before the war are now distributed for free.

There are even dedicated wizard explanations for this knowledge.

The knowledge once revered as a legacy by wizards can now be obtained with War Merit or Wizard Coins.

Clearly priced, fair for all.

The war caused heavy casualties among the old artifacts of the Wizard World, making today's Wizard Civilization a civilization of new wizards.

New habits are born from new wizards, and these new habits form a new society.

The Wizard Civilization has also ushered in a new era.

"It is indeed a good era, but whether they can seize it remains to be seen," Ali sighed.

"I heard that as the number of wizards increases, the council is considering restricting the dissemination of knowledge. Right now, knowledge is too cheap, and many wizards don't seem to care about it."

"No, that's not true." Richard shook his head calmly, "It must be a misunderstanding."

Although he has been asleep for three hundred years, he knows these three hundred years won't cause a major change in the policies of Wizard Civilization.

Before the death of the Civilization Devourer, the expansion of wizards would never stop.

Ali looked at Richard and suddenly laughed, "You really sound like a teacher when you say this."

After touring the Wizard City, Richard had gotten a preliminary understanding of this new era.

It's the best of times, and it's the worst of times.

Everything is vibrant, yet the future remains uncertain.

Having witnessed the changes of the new era, Richard didn't linger much and promptly fulfilled his promise to take Ali to see the fostered Wuxiang.

...

In the headquarters hall, a spatial fluctuation attracted everyone's attention.

Most of the observing wizards frowned slightly.

As the headquarters of the Alchemy School, even the Great Wizards of the Alchemy School must open the Space Rift outside the hall to show respect to the Alchemy Crown.

Other schools' Great Wizards, according to etiquette, should enter the Alchemy School headquarters by flying.

Opening a Space Rift directly in the headquarters hall is not illegal but is extremely disrespectful.

"Which Great Wizard is so arrogant to open a Space Rift inside the headquarters hall?"

"Is a Shapeshifting School wizard here to cause trouble?"

"Isn't there a Great Wizard to manage this?"

A shadow in a black robe emerged from the rift, curiously surveying the surroundings.

"Richard, it seems you opened it in the wrong place. This is the first-floor hall."

Upon hearing this, an Alchemy Wizard couldn't resist stepping forward, loudly questioning, "Great Wizard, what do you want? This is the headquarters of our Alchemy School, not your Wizard Tower."

"I apologize, this was my mistake."

Another shadow in a black robe stepped out of the Space Rift, slightly bowing to the reprimanding wizard, and turned to begin sealing the rift.

"I had a problem with my positioning, the rift should have opened directly on the top floor."

Seeing the newly appeared black-robed wizard, the new wizards were still dumbfounded, while the old wizards had already respectfully performed the Wizard's Salute.

"Welcome, Crown Throne!"

In the old wizards' congratulatory voices, new wizards started panicking, performing the salute, and pondered internally which Crown Throne this was.

But after thinking hard, they realized they've never seen any Crown Throne.

How did these old wizards know this was the Crown Throne?

"No need for formalities."

Richard awkwardly waved his hand, as he said, his appearance in the hall was purely accidental.

Utilizing the Guardian's channel for ultra-long-distance teleportation was something he was doing for the first time.

Being a bit unfamiliar was inevitable.

At this moment, the reprimanding wizard was left in shock.

He stood there in a daze, feeling as if his very soul had left his body.

He had actually reprimanded a subordinate of the Crown Throne and made a Crown Throne apologize to him.

"It's okay, this is my fault."

Richard looked at the wizard who seemed petrified and stepped forward to pat his shoulder.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air in the hall. Upon seeing Richard, he hurriedly performed a wizard's salute, "Crown Throne, what brings you here?"

Richard felt even more awkward when he saw the newcomer.

It was an acquaintance, none other than the Secret Silver Hand Great Wizard with whom Richard had traded last time.

"It's nothing, I came to check on Wuxiang."

The Secret Silver Hand Great Wizard looked at the wizard beside Richard and cautiously asked, "And who is he?"

Richard withdrew his hand from the wizard, somewhat awkwardly saying, "Ahem, it's nothing."

After saying that, he didn't wait for the Secret Silver Hand Great Wizard to speak again and said, "How has Wuxiang been over the years? Any issues with the Four Elements Creation System?"

The Secret Silver Hand Great Wizard was interrupted and naturally realized there was no serious matter, so he didn't pursue the wizard's issue further, casually opening a space rift.

"No, no, please follow me; regarding your request back then, we've basically completed it."

The three entered the rift, and the silent hall buzzed with sound.

The companion who had reprimanded the wizard came over, giving him a thumbs-up.

"Brother, you're something else; when we get back, you can brag, and I'll vouch for you."

The reprimanded wizard turned back, his body suddenly going limp, nearly collapsing to the ground.

After regaining composure, he glanced at his wizard robe and immediately took it off, folding it carefully and putting it in his pocket with a hint of excitement on his face.

"A robe touched by the Crown Throne, I need to frame it when I get back!"

...

Behind the rift lay a Secret Realm.

The Secret Realm was desolate, littered with rusty metal. Various strange mechanical creations roamed the rusted wasteland like mechanical ghosts.

Standing on the wasteland, Richard sensitively detected a corrosion from the Power of Dimension.

This space seemed to possess the same nature as the Mechanized Dimension of the past.

But compared to the Mechanized Dimension, the corrosion in this Secret Realm was more subtle, almost negligible.

"This Secret Realm is my teacher's experiment, incorporating his Illusion Rules into special rules, hence some dimensional corrosion."

The Secret Silver Hand briefly explained, then blew a whistle with his fingers.

Accompanied by a high-pitched sound wave, Richard suddenly looked to the sky.

Above them, the space began to distort, and then a colossal object over ten kilometers in diameter appeared in the sky.

If Ulysses was here, he would surely exclaim, isn't this the automatic fortress of the Mechanized Dimension!?

A droplet of liquid metal dripped from the automatic fortress, transforming into a lifelike humanoid entity as it hit the ground, much like the T-1000 from the Terminator movie.

"My master, you have finally awakened. I have become so powerful now."

Richard looked at the Wuxiang Avatar, or rather a part of Wuxiang, marveling.

"The basic unit structure has changed, the Crown Throne's technology is impressive."

Though Wuxiang appeared unchanged, Richard's perception told him that Wuxiang's body strength now far exceeded what it was before.

If the original Wuxiang was like a piece of steel, now it was an Asteel Alloy.

"Have the Four Elements implants been added?" Richard asked with a smile.

"No," Wuxiang shook his head, "the Crown Throne had me directly fuse with the Four Elements Rules."

"Oh?" Richard was slightly surprised, "Can it be directly fused?"

Wuxiang, being a Gestalt Creature, evolved by different standards from conventional bioforms. Richard had previously asked Elderly to attempt rule fusion, but after the fusion, the part of Elderly that fused with the rules detached from the main body.

"Yes, the Crown Throne said Little El failed because his subunits were too numerous. The more subunits there are, the easier the rule fusion fails.

I only maintained the minimal consciousness required when fusing the rules."

Richard nodded slightly, then beckoned to Ali beside him, "Come have a look; this is Wuxiang."

Ali cautiously moved closer to Wuxiang, whose Life Radiation had already reached the level of a Level 6 Creature.

Without restraint, her body instinctively resisted getting near Wuxiang.

Wuxiang looked at Ali with curiosity.

"Is she the Main Mother? I sensed some time ago that Lord Crow had appointed a Divine Wife."

"Yes," Richard nodded slightly, then turned his gaze towards the main body of Wuxiang in the sky.

A vast spiritual power surged from within him, instantly enveloping Wuxiang, revealing Wuxiang's current structural form before his eyes.

"Oh? The Crown Throne's application of the technology is quite rapid, these technologies wizardized so quickly."

A flicker of surprise crossed Richard's face; the internal structure of Wuxiang was extremely complex, with a significant portion of its components utilizing wizardry Alchemy Technology.

The arrangement of the Rune Array of these components had undergone considerable changes from what Richard had learned in the past, clearly showing a new train of thought.

Undoubtedly, the Alchemy Crown had fully integrated the technologies of previous civilizations into its system.

At the center of Wuxiang, a gigantic chamber continuously underwent Elemental Annihilation reactions. Although antimatter annihilation packs more power, antimatter is far more difficult to obtain than the Four Elements.

Frenzied energy was conducted from the chamber into the energy conduits, with most supporting the survival of subunits, and the remaining minor portion flowing into the four creation chambers.

Anything constructed by the Four Elements could be created by these four chambers.

No energy supply needed, no material provision necessary, no personnel assistance required, with self-recovery and high intelligence, and even capable of absorbing new technology for self-iteration.

The current Wuxiang could practically be deemed a perfect war machine.
