Aur felt like there was a mysterious hand in the dark who did these; after all, previously, a decade ago, lifespans were plentiful enough tost for some time, but now nature suddenly stopped producing these things.


    Anyone could also sense something; however, they weren''t qualified to know the reason just like him!


    "I will eventually find these things when I grow stronger, but where would I get a lifespan spell?"


    Aur rubbed his temples with a frown on his face.


    "I willprehend and try to refine the potion for mana gathering, and in twenty-five days, I should go to Noah with the potion of the body-refining." He had a thoughtful expression on his face.


    As he takes more body-refining potion, the nourishment it provides to his body is gradually decreasing as well; this was true for Aur as well.


    Since he has already consumed these body-refining potions, if he took it again, the gains would significantly decreasepared to before.


    However, this was different for the mana-gathering potion; no matter how much his efficiency of refining the mana would not decrease in a single bit the more he takes these mana potions.


    Thinking of these, Aur started toprehend the mana gathering potion again. To his puzzlement, he didn''t feel any exhaustion seep over his being even afterprehending the spell for an entire day and night without any rest in between.


    The only time he took "rest" was when he was training his own body to do his daily quest. Although now his progress while doing physical exercise is extremely slow and could bepared to a snail''s pace, everything still counted, and the daily quest continuously allowed him to gain a single status point every day.


    "Looks like reaching tier one in the life level is already paying off," Aur muttered with satisfaction, looking at the green glowing vial in front of him.


    It had been three more days already, and he had sessfully refined his first Mana gathering potion.


    This undoubtedly made him very happy. Compared to his previous efficiency ofprehending and refining the soul-refining potion, this process was much easier and more efficient.


    "I wonder what other effects I also have with these attributes?" Aur didn''t believe that these Life Level attributes only had an effect on hisprehension.


    Just like the muscle mass attribute was all-epassing and affected everything physical, then the Life Level must be all-epassing spiritually, and the benefits of these were currently unknown to him.


    Suddenly, as countless thoughts collided in his brain, his crimson pupils froze. Aur put down the green potion in front of him onto the table and paced around the entire ce.


    "So this is the case," finally after a long time, these words escaped his lips. At that moment, he thoroughly understood and realised something he had unknowingly done throughout the time.


    Some invisible hand was at y, causing his rationality and critical thinking power to disappear.


    "William," Aur''s eyes turned cold as he looked ahead, as if he could prate the walls of this ce and directly reach an unknown location.


    "I have always thought I am stronger than William and nned to use him as bait. But where did my confidencee from?"


    The more Aur thought about it, the colder his heart turned.


    Initially, when he first encountered William, his brain seemed to have degraded,cking rational thinking entirely.


    At that time, the feeling vanished after he opened the system, and Aur thought he waspletely safe from it. Now, however, he realised how wrong he was.


    From the very first time Aur met William, everything he did seemed to cause no harm to him or was purely irrelevant to him. Even though Aur used William as the outlet for the eight elders, in reality, it benefited him instead.


    "These protagonists are really…" Aur''s face remained calm, but his heart stirred. Thinking of all these possibilities made him feel a slight fear. "Is this the so-called fate of William, or is it luck?"


    With these thoughts in mind, Aur smiled coldly. "Whatever it is, as long as they don''t get in my way, that''s fine. But when they do…" His eyes shimmered with a killing intent.


    Quickly, he looked at the green vial in front of him and went into seclusion. Comfortably sitting cross-legged on the bed, Aur opened the cork of the vial and drank it in one gulp.


    After that, he took out two high-grade mana crystals, which had countless cracks on them, and slowly fell into meditation.


    The pure mana was slowly extracted with his effort and entered his mental space in an instant.


    After the mana entered the mental space, Aur slowly began to refine these pure mana into light blue mana.


    Unlike the mana found in the surrounding area, the mana in the high-grade mana crystals was very pure and dense, making it easier to refine into his mental space. That''s why mana crystals were so valuable and used by every wizard as a currency, while mortal currency, such as gold, was barely used.


    At this moment, in his moderately sized mental space, there were countless spells floating slowly in the air in a circr pattern.


    At the centre, his vital spell, the Wizard hand, connected to a golden strand, remained in a still potion all the other spells were actually rotating around his vital spell like the sr system.


    The light blue mana had almost reached twenty-three percent and just needed a push before he could break through.


    Suddenly, Aur was shocked to the core when he felt the rate of his mana refinement.


    His efficiency had increased by at least two times, which came as an unexpected and pleasant surprise.


    "At this rate, I should be able to reach the mid-tier one wizard in just a week or so, and then I can give Noah the proof of me being an alchemist as well," Aur thought to himself, continuing another round of practice.


    However, since this was just taking in the mana, his effort was only slight at most, not as gruelling as before.
