Fang Lide was a master of managing people.
He had long seen that Li Wei was the type who wouldn’t lift a finger without seeing a reward.
Without so benefit for him, you couldn’t expect him to do anything good.
Li Wei was different from most magical researchers.
Most magical researchers in the Hall of Truth were driven by their love for Magic.
Thus, they would proactively and enthusiastically research Magic.
Li Wei had this passion too, but his was a bit lacking.
It needed a little sothing extra to fuel that passion and ignite its fla.
Fang Lide told Li Wei he had an improved formula for the Earth Flowing Potion Secret dicine.
The very next day, Li Wei showed up inside the Hall of Truth.
Lux saw Li Wei and greeted him.
"Hey, Li Wei! Long ti no see. What have you been busy with?"
Li Wei said, "Busy with Cultivation. I also took a trip to the Fire Elental Plane and almost didn’t make it back."
Lux said in surprise, "No way! Is the Fire Elental Plane that dangerous?"
"I heard a lot of people go there every year."
Li Wei shook his head and said, "It might not have been dangerous before, but the Fire Elental Plane has changed drastically. It’s chaotic and much more perilous now."
Fang Lide walked over and said, "It’s a good thing you ca back."
"So far, out of the group that went to the Fire Elental Plane, you’re the only one who has returned."
"The others are still alive, but I’m afraid their situation isn’t looking good."
Li Wei thought of Stier.
’I wonder if Stier was captured by the Fire Elental Lord?’
’Oh well, it’s none of my business.’
Li Wei said, "Professor Fang Lide, this Radiant Magic Model can’t be deduced in just a day or two."
"Is it possible to get the reward in advance?" Li Wei asked, looking at Fang Lide sincerely.
Fang Lide raised an eyebrow. "I’m afraid that won’t be possible."
"If you don’t show so results, I won’t be able to answer to the Vice Hall Master."
"After all, the improved formula for the Earth Flowing Potion Secret dicine is a research product of the Hall of Truth. Letting you see it requires the Vice Hall Master’s permission."
Seeing this, Li Wei understood that Fang Lide wouldn’t give him any benefits until he saw so results.
He sighed inwardly.
"Alright, I’ll research it for a few days and see if I can make a breakthrough."
Li Wei walked into the Radiant Magic Model research lab.
Everyone turned to look at him, greeting and welcoming him.
The reception he received now was a stark contrast to his first ti in the lab.
In the past, everyone had ignored him, thinking he was incapable of contributing anything.
Now, everyone welcod him, hoping he would join their research groups to help.
Although so were stubbornly determined to produce results on their own...
...the majority couldn’t resist the hope of being carried to success.
After all, they had been researching this thing for decades without any major breakthroughs.
Everyone hoped soone would step up and break the stalemate.
Only then could new research avenues be opened up for them.
The day-in, day-out repetitive research was simply too dull and tedious.
People enjoyed exploring new things.
Li Wei waved back, returning everyone’s greetings.
He checked the lab’s recent progress on the deduction of the Radiant Magic Model.
The progress was still stuck at the simplification and fusion stage of the Magic Model.
The last major advancent had been thanks to Li Wei.
Li Wei had provided a highly efficient fusion plan for the Blast Fla Skill and the Burning Skill.
This had allowed the simplification process to move forward.
A month had passed, and the progress was still at the step where Li Wei had left it.
The others had no better thods. They could only try deleting parts of the magic structure bit by bit to see if it would affect the Magic Model, using a brute-force approach.
The fusion plan Li Wei had provided last ti also gave everyone a new inspiration.
It led them to start looking for shared structural Magic Circuits within the Magic Model.
So far, they had optimized three new structural Magic Circuits.
All in all, the progress was extrely slow.
At the current pace, it would take at least another year to have any hope of lowering the Casting difficulty to the upper limit of Tier Four.
Li Wei found Lux and began an in-depth study of the Holy Light Technique and the Radiance Skill with her.
From ti to ti, he would delve into the Dream World to perform deductions.
Lux would see Li Wei doze off in the middle of their conversations.
A mont later, Li Wei would wake up again, spouting new questions and ideas.
She found it quite miraculous.
’Does Li Wei really do all his thinking in his dreams?’
Two days later, Li Wei presented a fusion plan for the Radiance Skill and the Holy Light Technique.
It optimized away eighty percent of the Magic Circuits in the current design.
After testing by the research group, they successfully lowered the Casting difficulty of the Radiant Spell to Tier Four High Level.
They were still a long way from success.
But this was already a huge step forward.
The remaining problems were the most difficult ones.
The Blast Fla Skill and the Burning Skill were both Fire Elent Magic, while the Radiance Skill and the Holy Light Technique were both Light Magic.
Their Magic Models were similar, making them easier to fuse.
Now, they had to fuse the already-rged Fire Elent Magic Model and Light Magic Model, and reduce the Casting difficulty on top of that.
The difficulty was extrely high.
Even Li Wei didn’t have a good solution in the short term.
When Fang Lide saw that Li Wei had advanced the research by a huge leap as soon as he arrived, he was all smiles the next ti they t.
"Li Wei, you really should co to the Hall of Truth more often. You can’t let your talent go to waste."
Fang Lide handed Li Wei a scroll containing the improved formula.
"This is the new version of the Earth Flowing Potion Secret dicine formula. It’s now called the Fire Source Secret dicine."
"Rember, this cannot be leaked outside. This is an exclusive Secret dicine formula of the Hall of Truth," Fang Lide warned.
Li Wei nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Seeing how easily Fang Lide had produced the Fire Source Secret dicine formula...
Li Wei knew he had been duped.
The item might indeed be precious, but for soone of Fang Lide’s status...
...it was just an ordinary Secret dicine formula.
’All that talk about needing to apply to the Vice Hall Master to let see it was a complete lie.’
’If it were really that important, would Fang Lide have dared to hand it over to so casually?’
Li Wei didn’t feel the need to say anything about it.
Fang Lide hadn’t done anything wrong.
On the contrary, he had solved a major problem for Li Wei.
Li Wei read the formula for the Fire Source Secret dicine, studying its refining thod.
He simulated the refining process in his dreams to increase his proficiency.
[Basic Level Alchemy (Tier Three)] 10000/10000
His Basic Level Alchemy had reached its limit.
Li Wei needed a more advanced level of Alchemy.
The Saint Villia Library sold Middle Level Alchemy.
Li Wei spent fifty Credit Points to buy the complete Middle Level Alchemy.
mbers of the Hall of Truth received a fifty percent discount; the original price was one hundred Credit Points.
These were the Credit Points the Elental Tower had awarded Li Wei for his major contribution to the battle after killing Undead Monsters during the city’s defense.
He had been awarded a total of two hundred Credit Points.
This was equivalent to twenty thousand Gold Coins.
After a night of effort, Li Wei successfully reached the Entry Level of Middle Level Alchemy.
[Middle Level Alchemy (Tier Four)] 500/10000
He had mastered the refining thod for the Fire Source Secret dicine.
Li Wei began to refine the Tier Four Secret dicine, "Fire Source Secret dicine".
