This lich needs more money

Amberxiu once had three completely different lives.

In his previous life, he was a science student with a poor diploma, full of confusion about life, and even his ideals were buried in cheap entertainment. It was only when he died that Amberxiu realized that everything flashing through the revolving lantern was nothing worth mentioning.

Then, God gave him another chance to travel to this messy, but always exciting, different world. The young man is crazy and feels that he is born to be the protagonist. It is easy to become a legend in three years and become a god in ten years. Amber Xiu had always wanted to do great things since he was an adventurer, until he realized that even if he reached the legendary realm, he was just a parallel import.

It is always said that people will grow up when they find that they are not the center of the world.

The same is true for Amber Xiu. When he found out that he was old and turned out to be just a legend of parallel imports and could not even afford the youth potion used to extend his life, then he realized that he was just one of the lucky ones among all living beings. , the time traveler is not that special.

So what about the legendary mage? He is still a poor man, so he should simply stop being a human being.

There is nothing wrong with being reincarnated as a lich.

Thanks to the lack of heartbeat, the brain has almost stopped functioning, so Amberxiu looked at his former self in the mirror and was slightly absent-minded. He changed the robe full of dark atmosphere into ordinary clothes, and Amberxiu was ready to leave. Go shopping in the castle.

Passing by another laboratory, Isabel was preparing potions inside.

Petrified lizard oil is a magic potion that can relieve the petrification effect. Using this potion as the main ingredient and adding some cheap ingredients can make a good rock softener. As long as it is diluted with water, it can be used to reclaim wasteland.

However, petrified lizard oil is quite difficult for an alchemy apprentice.

Amberxiu was a little worried that Isabel was wasting too many potions, so he stopped and took a few more looks. Then he couldn't help but say: "The basic skills are good, but the flame temperature is wrong. The flask is placed too low. If the reaction temperature is too low, the reaction will be incomplete. The prepared medicine is not only of poor quality, but also a waste of materials. The appearance of the flame The flame temperature is the highest, didn’t your teacher teach you this most basic thing?”

Isabel was startled and turned around to see a strange boy standing at the door of the laboratory with a surprised expression.

"You..." Isabel also wanted to ask Amberxiu if he was a free citizen who was recruited, but she immediately reacted and said excitedly: "You also know alchemy? What is the outer flame? I was in the teacher's laboratory. Use fixed equipment to operate, I have never seen this kind of freely adjustable..."

Amber Xiu chuckled and said disdainfully: "I'm afraid I'll teach my disciples the old secret methods."

Many alchemists value their skills more than their lives and are unwilling to teach many basic things. Customized equipment is the simplest and most effective way to keep secrets.

Fixed height, fixed flame temperature, fixed feed ratio... Because it is customized, the apprentice can only perform fool-like operations. When configuring specific medicines, the success rate is high, but the fewer failures, the more the apprentice learns. The less things there are.

Just like the assembly line workers in Amber Xiu's previous life, they were doing simple and repetitive work, and there were almost no real skills they could learn. Without these customized devices, many apprentices would not be able to configure even the most basic medicines.

Isabel could still make a tranquilizing potion in another laboratory, so she was considered a very good alchemy apprentice.

"Alchemy is not just about following the recipe. Environmental temperature, humidity, and even air circulation are key. Every step in the notes is actually a reaction principle. If you don't understand these, you will only be an apprentice for the rest of your life. .”

Amberxiu walked into the laboratory, readjusted the height of the flask, adjusted some ingredients, and then successfully made a bottle of petrified lizard oil of perfect quality.

Isabel looked at Amber Xiu's flawless operation, her eyes widened in admiration. The black-haired boy in front of her seemed to be a few years younger than her, but his understanding of alchemy far exceeded hers, and his explanations were even simpler and easier to understand than her teacher's.

Isabel wanted to ask a few more questions, at least to ask the boy's name, but as soon as she put the bottle of basilisk oil away, she turned around and lost sight of him.

Isabel was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt her scalp numb.

This lich's castle... isn't haunted, is it?

Isabel instantly came up with a story. The genius young alchemist who died in the castle appeared because of his lingering resentment when he saw others doing alchemy experiments? The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Isabel felt that her back was soaked. This castle was really full of terror.

Isabel only hoped that what the Lord Lich said was true, and that after the reclamation, they could be allowed to move out of the castle and build houses elsewhere.

Amber Xiu walked out of the castle with a boy's face on his face, then cast a flying spell on himself and flew towards the sky.

After flying for about half an hour and covering about fifty or sixty kilometers, Amberxiu finally saw the abstract city - Alchemia, the city of alchemy.

The city towers over a vast plain, its tall rocky exterior walls inlaid with massive amounts of magical metal carved with thousands of alchemical runes. It is rumored that this city is a huge product of alchemy, which can be transformed into a mechanical giant when necessary.

This must be bragging. If the entire city turned into a mechanical giant, most of the residents inside would be killed without the enemy attacking.

However, these runes must contain powerful power. After all, before the economic crisis, Alchemia was known as the richest city on the continent.

The reason why this city is abstract does not refer to the runes on the walls, but when viewed from the sky, there are seven magnificent alchemy towers lined up in this city. These alchemy towers seemed to be made of gems of various colors, which looked extremely dazzling in the sunlight.

The seven alchemy towers have different heights and different colors, and even the appearance and style are completely different. Only the twisted and ugly temperament is the same. Even though Amber Xiu had no artistic attainments, he still felt that these alchemy towers were very ugly. No, it should be said that they were extremely ugly and abstract.

This is not just what Amber Xiu thinks. Alchemy City has been the champion of the ugliest city competition in the Nine Kingdoms for many years in a row. Even the Alchemist Council itself can't stand it.

But they can't change it because it's a "gift" from the gods.

When the Alchemist Council tried to create gods and blasphemed the gods, the God of Alchemy punished them. Not only did they no longer be able to make new breakthroughs in alchemy, but they also had these seven towers built for them.

Anyone who has studied alchemy can tell at a glance what the shapes of these seven towers are.

The tower that looks like the green pancake looks like the residue left by the high temperature when preparing the healing potion; the one that looks like the red duct adenoma looks like the flocculation that condensed after the imbalance of the Bear Strength potion. Shapes... and so on, the seven towers represent seven types of alchemical products, and are also the seven most classic and common products of failed experiments.

The gods used these seven towers symbolizing failure to nail the city of Alchemia to the pillar of shame in history.

But the shame had nothing to do with Amber Xiu. He wore a human appearance and entered the city gate in the most normal way. Not long after entering the city, Amber Xiu felt that this alchemy city had changed a lot.
