Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 276

Chapter 275 Mana 800, Magic Pressure 900!

One year later.

In Locke’s simple laboratory, Locke was soaking in the last portion of Tartarus crypt worm cerebrospinal fluid.

At the same time, he drank a potion with a red eyeball in the glass bottle. After drinking the potion, Locke’s eyes released a strange red light.

The pupils of his eyes reflected the light of the abyss.

After a year, Locke used memory ointment and Eye Demon Potion to enhance his memory and perception. He also improved his potion-making skills through the luxurious and repeated failed potion-making, and mastered the extremely difficult potion of Eye Demon Lord Potion.

Being able to refine potions of this level means that Locke’s potion-refining skills have reached the highest level of a potion master’s assistant, and there is even a tendency to go further and explore upward.

The Eye Demon Potion is already the top level of the Alchemist’s Assistant, not to mention the more advanced Eye Demon Lord Potion.

After all, Potions is a subject that combines theory and practice. As long as you are given enough materials, it is very easy to improve your level.

This is also true in the fields of enchantment and alchemy. Many seemingly complex things are actually just repetitions of existing knowledge, not research and development. Therefore, with sufficient practice and sufficient practice materials, one can achieve in a short period of time what others have failed to achieve in ten years.

With Locke’s monthly income reaching 36,000, he could easily squander tens of thousands of magic stones every month to buy materials and improve his alchemy skills.

Locke’s current deposit has reached 200,000 magic stones.

This year, he also received some sporadic orders from outside, so his deposit was not 180,000 magic stones, but 200,000 magic stones.

After Locke drank the Eye Demon Lord potion, his mental strength continued to rise. He seemed to have turned into a huge Eye Demon Lord that spanned the sky and earth, commanding all the Eye Demons. Countless eyeballs followed him as he moved.

“I am the supreme ruler of eyeballs! I am the Eye Demon Lord. All eyeballs must obey my command! I am the eyeball that rules the world!” Locke’s expression became fanatical, and he raised his hands high.

“Starting from the wizarding world, I will invade here, rule here, and turn this place into my own world.”

As a result, he activated a magic trap he had set before taking the potion, and suddenly a ball of cold water fell from the sky and hit him on the head.

Locke suddenly came to his senses. “What the hell? I just said that myself? The mental side effects of the Eye Demon Lord potion are even greater than I imagined.”

“But fortunately, with my current physical condition, I’m still in a relatively safe area.”

“However, the aggression of the life forms in the Abyssal Plane is even stronger than I originally expected. That aggression comes from the Abyssal energy itself, so I estimate that all Abyssal life forms possess strong aggressive traits.”

Although he had not actually seen any abyssal life form, Locke had already anticipated the basic personality traits of these life forms from his research on abyssal energy.

Locke placed his palm on the amethyst matrix, his eyes flashing with joy. “After a year, my mana has finally reached 800.”

“This way, I can go to the academy and apply for an advanced potion.”

Locke’s face showed joy, but who knew that a line of numbers flashed on the amethyst matrix again, 900.

The deep purple magic pressure in Locke’s palm infected the amethyst matrix, and an unsettling power emanated from that magic pressure.

“Mana 800, Magic Pressure 900.” Locke’s face looked strange. “Mana and Magic Pressure should correspond one to one. Normal wizards all do this. If they don’t, then there’s only one possibility, and that’s that I have a second source of power besides my own mana.”

“Just like what happened when I used the Black Lock Sword Bamboo before, the external magic pressure that Albert left inside the sword bamboo has enhanced my magic pressure.”

Locke, the assistant potion master, pondered, “This situation is probably because I’ve been taking Eye Demon Lord potions 20 times a month for the past six months, and I’ve been taking Eye Demon potions 20 times a month for the past six months.”

“The Eye Demon Potion is fine, but the Eye Demon Lord Potion is actually a new type of potion. In addition to the Eye Demon, it also contains a Tanar’ri Demon’s finger material.”

Locke repeatedly thought about the effects of this abyss potion, and at the same time released two bursts of magic pressure in succession. One was the normal magic pressure as a pure-blooded wizard, which was invisible magic pressure.

Only the Black Lock Sword Bamboo can transform its invisible magic pressure into black magic pressure.

The second kind of demonic pressure is the purple-black demonic pressure, which is the demonic pressure entangled with the energy of the abyss.

Two numbers, 800 and 900, appeared on the amethyst matrix.

Locke frowned. “Sure enough, my guess was correct. Because I’ve been taking the Eye Demon Lord potion for a long time, I’ve actually built an independent abyssal energy cycle in my body.”

“This part of power provides me with 100 points of magic pressure.”

“I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing.”

Locke thought about it for a moment, then accepted it. “Whatever. My magic power is mixed with a lot of ether anyway.”

“It’s because I absorbed a lot of rose-red gems to improve my spiritual power when I was a second-class wizard apprentice. Now, in order to become a formal wizard, I have absorbed a lot of abyssal energy, which is normal.”

“Official wizards basically have all sorts of side effects, but I’m relatively well off.”

After all, they have researched many things and then use them directly on themselves.

To be honest, sometimes the side effects of some things will only gradually appear after they are used.

It is basically impossible to achieve a completely side effect-free environment.

Even d*rugs that have passed Phase III trials and have been used for decades will have some minor side effects, and even serious side effects in some special cases.

Locke tested it several times again and found that he had not yet found which part of his body produced a sustainable and independent energy cycle of this abyss energy.

But in short, it seems to have become a kind of strength of my own.

Therefore, it does not have much impact on myself. Only when I use it, my emotions will become more violent and aggressive.

But in normal times, it has no impact on me.

This is normal. Even though the abyss energy is naturally very aggressive, overall, it is not an energy that wants to destroy itself, so it will not threaten the main body.

Secondly, with his current mana of 800, a mere 100 points of abyss energy cannot affect him at all.

But if the proportion is increased further, it is hard to say.

Locke pondered and said, “I can study this problem after I become a formal wizard, but in short, for now, it can only benefit me.”

“The quality of the abyssal energy is extremely high, so it can increase my magic pressure. Even with only 800 mana, it can be increased to 900 magic pressure. This has greatly increased my combat effectiveness, and it actually brings me closer to becoming a formal wizard, making it easier to break through.”

“Over the past year, my mana has reached 800. Thanks to a large amount of funding, my knowledge of breeding and potions has reached its peak. With the help of Teacher Harlan Vera, my understanding of botanical magic has also reached a new level.”

“Now, I am only one step away from becoming a formal wizard.” Locke pondered, “But because of this, I have to be more careful.”

“Along the way, countless geniuses have failed to break through to become official wizards.”

“The wizard who guards the secret realm and Elagabalus’s first wife are both precedents.”

Locke walked out of the bathtub and changed into a clean set of clothes, while ringing the bell to notify the servants to come and clean up.

“You need to think carefully about which magic to choose for the permanent defense field. My priorities are either the life force field or… the information about the magic I got from the secret realm.”

During this year, Locke has read all the reference books on Life Field and Oak Magic Armor. In the end, he decided that if he had to choose between the two magics, he would definitely choose Life Field.

The Oak Magic Armor specializes in the sub-direction of plant magic of the School of Life, and the smaller sub-direction of treeman magic.

The life force field is a universal type of plant magic that can form an invisible and lasting life energy shield around itself, and can cooperate with a variety of plant magic.

It is currently the most suitable botanical defensive magic for me.

If he chose this magic, Locke could now cash in 200,000 magic stone resources and start preparing for a breakthrough.

But after much thought, Locke decided to exchange the three wizard secret resources he had accumulated and the opportunity to enter the Forbidden Forest. After obtaining the results of the sealed special research project, he would decide which magic to choose as the direction and turn it into his own permanent defensive force field.

This year, he was again selected as a rising star in wizard seeds and breeding, and thus gained two more opportunities to enter the wizard secret realm.

Ordinary secret realms can be quickly passed.

By the way, he also fulfilled his current duty as the eldest brother among Harlan Vera’s students, led some younger students, selected three ordinary wizard secret realms, and quickly cleared them.

Locke thought about it, went to the study, and began to write applications, including to enter the Everdusk Garden, the Arctic Iceland, and the Tesla Wasteland.

These three apprentice-level wizard secret realms pose no threat or difficulty to me, who now has 900 magic pressure. I don’t need any preparation and can easily dig out a large amount of the “ore” I need from them.

Once again, increase your own magic accumulation as needed.

Then, Locke prepared to go to Harlan Vera’s office to ask Teacher Harlan if any of his students wanted to enter the wizard secret realm with him recently.
