Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 438

Chapter 436 Discussion of the Yunze Cup Committee

Three days later.

In the White Dragon Tower, in the Plutarch family’s common potion room, Locke mixed the potion liquids in the two crucibles together. After the two black potion liquids were mixed together, the phenomenon of the potion liquid immediately becoming clear as described in the magic book did not occur. Instead, a vortex began to appear.

With a bang, the liquid in the crucible splashed everywhere. Every drop of liquid was corrosive, causing holes to appear on the four walls of the room. Many precision instruments were protected by magic cast by the protection school, and a magic barrier was immediately deployed to protect these instruments.

Locke himself deployed a permanent defensive force field [Life Field] to block all the corrosive liquids in front of him.

Locke raised a brow. “It still failed. The Mastermind Control Potion was even more difficult to refine than I thought. I guess the temperature wasn’t right, causing a problem with the potency. During the fusion reaction of the natural magic components, a corrosive change occurred.”

Locke used the technique of compressing the permanent defense field to cover his fingers with a layer of light green life force field crystal wall system. Then he pinched the black corrosive liquid and observed it for a while. “This liquid is good for use as an offensive weapon.”

“This corrosive liquid I accidentally concocted is actually quite corrosive to the magical barriers of the Protection School.”

“Many potions originally emerged from failed refining attempts. Continuing to research this might be a good topic. It’s a pity I don’t have the extra energy lately.”

Locke took out the specially made Time Crystal Potion Bottle by the alchemist and poured the black liquid into it, filling three bottles in total. He then casually put in his own synthesis cube and started synthesizing it to see if he could synthesize something special.

After doing all this, Locke thought for a moment and took out a set of brain control potions he had bought from the star ring. The core materials of the potions could only be purchased from the market after Alicia informed him, and it cost him a total of 31,000 magic stones.

Since the Augustine series of magic potions and magic plants in the southeast corner contribute 60,000 magic stones to him every month, he has saved up 300,000 magic stones in the six towers in half a year.

This is mainly because there is basically nothing to spend money on here.

I have a large amount of project funds in my hands, which include daily food, clothing, housing, transportation and material expenses.

Alicia would often give him some potion-making materials, so apart from the handling fees of the goblins’ family bank and the materials for the Mastermind Control potion he had purchased separately, he didn’t have any extra expenses.

This will naturally help you save money.

Increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Increasing revenue is important, and reducing expenditure is also a major part of saving money.

At this moment, Locke extended his left hand and a Primordial Fire suddenly fell into his palm. He placed the Primordial Fire under a crucible and began to skillfully process various materials. The Ice Elemental Magic Flame purified the remaining spiritual energy, the Wood Elemental Magic Flame extracted the natural magic structure components, and the Lightning Elemental Magic Flame extracted the hard-to-extract components…

A primordial fire undergoes multiple transformations in a very short period of time.

Finally, two hours later, Locke mixed the liquids in the two crucibles together. The liquids in the crucibles sparkled with crystal spiritual light and became translucent, with crystal bubbles emerging from them.

Finally, Locke used the primordial fire to blend the medicinal properties of his potion, and finally poured it into a bottle of time golden crystal potion.

The potion quickly stabilized, and within the liquid inside the potion, an illusory spiritual brain loomed.

This shows that this is a successful mastermind control potion.

Locke drank the potion in one gulp, and his original psychic pool expanded rapidly, becoming larger in size and able to support a larger distributed psychic network.

The virtual psychic organ behind Locke’s brain became more complex, with dozens of virtual psychic tentacles constantly spreading around, and at the same time more closely connecting him with his various magic plants, the degree of closeness more than doubled than before.

An illusory forest spirit spread out from behind Locke.

One person is a forest!
“The Mastermind Control Potion is indeed very important to me and will greatly benefit my strength. Unfortunately, without the use of the Primordial Fire, I cannot complete the refining of the Mastermind Control Potion. And the test of the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion requires that I do not use the Primordial Fire.”

Locke said, “But this won’t prevent me from successfully refining the Mastermind Control Potion first, and then using this successful experience to feed back into my potion-making skills.”

“With Alicia’s help and improvement, I believe I will be able to complete the second round of testing of the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion soon.”

After taking the Mastermind Control potion, Locke’s psychic energy pool expanded again. His psychic energy pool was roughly equivalent to the psychic energy of a liquefied stage wizard. It can be imagined that if he continued to take the Mastermind Control potion regularly for a long time, he would definitely be able to push the total amount of psychic energy in his psychic energy pool to the level of a first-ring crystallized wizard.

It’s a pity that apart from the dragon power obtained by using plant mimicry: green dragon, I have not learned any other magic from the psychic school, and I am unable to realize the power of this psychic energy.

If this kind of psychic power is only used to directly hit others, its power is limited and its practicality is very low in battles of the same level.

“After six months of stabilization and my daily maintenance, my Forest Sanctuary has reached a point where I can transplant a ring of magical plants and expand the total biomass,” Locke said. “I can go to Bailong Street to purchase some materials. The research team also needs to purchase a batch of new materials.”

…

The beautiful Yunze Wetland is picturesque with green mountains and clear waters. The beautiful environment is refreshing.

At this time, the Yunze Cup Competition Member Committee of Bonifacius University, after three days of reviewing 20 project applications from various major wizarding lands, finally came up with a result.

Wizard Trix tabulated the results and showed them to the other wizards. “Everyone, if you have no objections, we will announce the results according to this table. The project applications from the eliminated wizarding lands were also good, but this year’s Yunze Cup was extremely competitive, with outstanding talents emerging in an endless stream, so we had no choice but to reluctantly reject them.”

All the wizards in the office were observing the form and nodded, thinking that the evaluation criteria of this competition were still very objective. Not only were their wizard instructors from Bonifacius University judges, but they also invited four other top wizard organizations from Yunze Wetland to serve as judges.

Therefore, the outcome of this game is not entirely controlled by the wizards in their office.

They are only responsible for maintaining the operation of the entire competition and managing the expenditure of the competition fund, while the specific judges are selected based on the comprehensive evaluation of them, specially invited breeders from five universities including Bonifacius University, and even those second-ring breeders.

A wizard frowned as he looked at the rankings on the table. “First place goes to the [Ancient Tree of Life] project led by Wizard Edgar David of the Sun Shadow Peninsula. Tracing the origins of something like this is legendary, and he himself has successfully traced the origins of the [Ancient Tree of War], so it’s only natural that he’s ranked first.”

“If he can successfully trace the origin of the [Ancient Tree of Life] in the Yunze Cup, even if he can only successfully trace back a portion of the Ancient Tree of Life and its tree-people, and win first place in the Yunze Cup finals, it will even increase the value of our Yunze Cup competition itself.”

“The second place goes to Diana, the witch from our Yunze Wetlands. Her proposed Luna Laurel Tree project is also quite good. She has extensive research on related treants, especially on the Moon-type treants.”

“Witch Diana undoubtedly possesses astonishing insight. She proposed a unique viewpoint even during the first crystallization phase, arguing that the creations of modern people must be superior to those of their predecessors. Therefore, she will challenge Wizard Edgar in the field of tree people, pitting the Twin Moons tree people against the ancient tree of life, a type of ancient tree person.”

“As for third place, it goes to the wizard Yennefer from the Spiral Basin. His Mushroom King project is also quite good. The Mushroom King posits the concept of ‘being one, yet also being ten thousand,’ arguing that a Mushroom King is equivalent to a mushroom garden.”

“The top three are well-deserved. It’s like a battle between gods, bringing our Yunze Cup to heights never before achieved. But this time, the Six Towers project was also approved, and even ranked sixth?”

“The seventh-place wizard is even a first-ring liquefied wizard who emerged from the laboratory of a second-ring wizard. He is also extremely talented.”

“The eighth, ninth, and tenth places are all the most outstanding breeder teams from various wizarding lands. How could the project application submitted by the wizards from the Six Towers Land actually be ranked sixth? How could they be ranked sixth?”

Not only the wizard who raised the objection, but the wizards in other offices also looked puzzled.

Wizard Trix looked helpless and said to the wizard, “Wizard Nara, I’m just as baffled as you are, but there’s nothing we can do. This is a collective decision made by the senior wizard instructors from the five wizarding universities. Unless you can cite a practical flaw, some obvious problem, there’s no way to change this result.”

“Besides, if you look at their project proposals, you’ll find that although their formatting is messy and the project proposals are written disorganized, the rest of the content is perfect, whether it’s the pre-experimental data or the project content.”

The Nara wizard pulled up the project application submitted by the Six Towers. After reading it, he questioned, “This project application is truly ridiculous. Isn’t the goal too ambitious? A magical plant that targets a permanent defense field? Even in our Yunze Wetland lab, we might not be able to create this. Do they have the conditions to do it?”

Wizard Trix said, “If it weren’t for the fact that the second-ring wizard teachers above, considering that their team has no past high-quality articles or high-quality project endorsements, and no one in the team has any titles or reliable teaching positions, and therefore suspect that this project proposal is just an exaggeration to improve their grades, they would not be in sixth place now, but first.”

“But putting that aside, you have to admit that this project proposal is very well written. At least it even gives us hope that some of it can be accomplished.”

Wizard Trix said, “The competition at Yunze Wetlands is fair. Their backgrounds cannot affect the judging results. Therefore, their ranking has been lowered to sixth place.”

“But we let them through.”

“Even so, it has caused controversy among the second-ring wizards. Some second-ring wizard teachers even think that this project application should be ranked at least second or third.”

“In short, this project application is indeed very controversial. If it weren’t from a place like the Land of Six Pagodas, it would at least be ranked in the top three.”

The Nara wizard opened his mouth. He didn’t expect that such a project application from the Six Towers would cause controversy among the second-ring wizards of Yunze Wetland.

The Nara wizard said, “Alright. We’ll know whether they’re a mule or a horse after we take them out for a walk. Let them pass the first round. The second round is about producing actual works, not just ‘perfect’ plans written on paper.”

“No matter how good the plan is, if you can’t produce something, it’s meaningless.”

As soon as Wizard Nara said this, many wizards in the office nodded.

Similar to the prejudice of the Nara wizards, many wizards have always looked down on the research team from the Six Towers, and are skeptical about whether they can produce the finished products planned in the project plan.

“Well… the equipment in the Six Towers Land is indeed a bit simple. I hope this team can overcome this difficulty and bring us amazing achievements.” Wizard Trix frowned. Unlike before, his attitude changed subtly after reading the project application.

Essentially, he is a designer who is extremely fond of magical plant weapons.

He likes to see good works appear in front of him.

He didn’t have the talent to create excellent magical plant works, so he placed his hopes on those talented contestants.

Although Wizard Trix had some doubts about whether the Six Towers could realize this project application, deep down in his heart, what emerged was not doubt, but hope that this project application could really be completed.

Complete at least some of it.

This magical plant that can unite everyone to form a permanent defensive field will surely be amazing once it is completed, even if only part of it is completed.

Wizard Trix stamped the project application submitted by Locke’s team with his magic seal, which read: “Approved, 500,000 magic stone funding.”
