Recently, Jeming has been living quite comfortably.

Not only did he clean up his identity, solving his biggest problem, but he also gained more permissions.

Although, according to Professor Clark, the Second Level Cultivation Agreement doesn't provide actual points or material rewards, it indeed opens the green light in many other aspects, including various applications being approved effortlessly.

The permission to set up a laboratory also came through quickly. Originally, Jeming planned to rent a low-level laboratory long-term, but upon discovering that setting up such a laboratory came with discounts on renting, he decisively chose an intermediate laboratory.

Compared to a low-level laboratory, an intermediate laboratory not only offers more space, comprehensive internal protection facilities, and complete apparatus, more importantly, it is equipped with several lounges and even provides free takeout service, allowing direct ordering from restaurants.

This means, if the lessee wishes, they can completely stay in the laboratory.

In fact, many wizards do exactly this, as research often takes at least two to three months, sometimes even years.

Official wizards, aside from necessary social interactions, essentially eat and live in their laboratories.

This suits Jeming perfectly, as he needs to cultivate facing the sun every morning.

As for why he only rented an intermediate laboratory instead of a high-level one, the main reason is high-level laboratories are too expensive!

Low-level laboratories, depending on specifications, require points ranging from 200 to 1000 per month.

Meanwhile, intermediate laboratories start at two thousand, and high-level ones at a minimum of twenty thousand per month.

Originally, Jeming thought he'd have ample points after freely selling Refined Gold, only to be hit by reality and retreat into isolation.

The issue of earning points by selling Refined Gold arose; although there weren't any restrictions and such a prized item would be bought out immediately, Jeming hadn't anticipated being limited by the quantity of raw materials.

After all, Gold isn't particularly useful for wizards, aside from being a basic teaching material or occasionally needed for crafting special apparatus.

Although the academy can mobilize resources from all 13 planes of Nolun and dozens of surrounding small planes, it hadn't paid much attention to collecting Gold, resulting in a mere twenty-three cubic units stocked.

Even after Jeming bought out the stock, it would still take some time to replenish it.

This means, in the short term, the Refined Gold converted from these twenty-three cubic units of Gold is his main source of points.

Since refining Refined Gold consumes over ninety percent of the Gold's mass, the yield isn't very high.

After spending over a month on this pile of Gold, Jeming finally managed to produce over ten standard units of Refined Gold.

Considering that Refined Gold itself is an excellent material for Artifact Refining and as an isolating material, for future experiments and development, Jeming kept half and only sold ten standard units.

According to the academy's assessment, pure Refined Gold is considered a Fifth Level Material.

Jeming referred to the prices of other Fifth Level Materials and eventually sold all of it at a rate of ten thousand points per unit standardized.

"I only made a small ten-thousand-fold profit; I'm truly too conscientious."

Jeming reclined comfortably, cross-legged, on the luxurious soft chair in his laboratory, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Though the annual rent for the intermediate laboratory immediately took away twenty thousand points, the remaining eighty thousand will suffice for his indulgence for quite a long time.

With this in mind, Jeming placed his hand on the desk in front, instantly causing a light screen to rise before him.

"Tsk tsk... No wonder it's an intermediate laboratory; the technical level of this Magic Network Terminal has skyrocketed."

If the Magic Network Terminal in the low-level laboratory was at the level of a big-headed machine, then the intermediate one leapt straight into the realm of future projection, skipping over LCD monitor stages.

"Should I buy some advanced knowledge for fun first? Come on, let me see the upper limits of Wizard Civilization!"

Thud!

Jeming suddenly slapped the desk, shutting off the light screen before him, sinking into thought.

"Hiss... Is my approach incorrect?"

He reopened the Magic Network Terminal, staring at the stream of zeros on the price column on the screen, causing his mind to spin hectically.

"Forget it, forget it, these are too far beyond my reach, I'd better honestly learn some foundational knowledge first."

Pinching his nose bridge, he slid the screen to switch to the primary knowledge section, and based on his previous ideas, he bought additional courses and related basic materials on Rune Science and Magic Potion.

After purchasing the necessary items, Jeming began pondering his next steps.

"The knowledge from two worlds is an advantage for me, but it also poses some problems. First, I must confirm the differences between the two worlds so that the knowledge from the Cultivation Immortality Realm can be successfully transplanted here."

Unconsciously drawing circles on the tabletop with his finger: "As for the differences between the two worlds, aside from the most fundamental world rules, the other major differentiator would be the composition of matter and Energy..."

The differences in Energy can be studied through comparative research on various extraordinary powers, with Jeming himself as a ready and excellent test subject.

In terms of rule differences, the Rune Science he is about to study and the Alchemy he is currently learning can illuminate the underlying rule structure of the Wizard World, while the Great Dao Book Pavilion can acquaint him with the rules of the Cultivation Immortality World for comparison, so there's no immediate worry there.

"The first two require the accumulation of knowledge and can't be hastened much at the moment, so... what remains are the differences in matter. Alchemy and Magic Potion can also gradually build a foundation in the future, but there are ways to accelerate this..."

Jeming instinctively directed his gaze toward the laboratory's warehouse, where various assorted materials purchased along with the Gold to cloak the specific formula for Refined Gold were stored.

The Great Dao Book Pavilion's repository on material knowledge is rather complete, and if one seeks to further understand a certain material, the pavilion can provide a virtual shadow of similar materials for consciousness-depth testing.

Thus, to expedite the analysis of the differences between the two worlds, one could certainly start by examining materials from the Wizard World.

Conveniently, as an educational institution, Nolun Academy has such facilities.

With this thought, Jeming confidently accessed the academy Magic Network's materials exchange section, ready for opulent procurement.

Yet, as he truly began browsing and calculating, he discovered a new, despairing fact.

The Wizard Civilization is a powerful presence that has conquered countless planes.

Every conquered plane brings novel beings, new environments, new mineral deposits, and flora.

The variety of materials here is astronomical, and nearly every moment new materials are being discovered and documented.

The "Basic Material Atlas," "Exotic Plane Material Index," "Mineral Encyclopedia," "Mutated Plant Lineage"… Just the common material-related data is stacked high, while the actual kinds of materials are innumerable times greater.
