Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 564

Chapter 561: Completing the Hydra Potion and Passing the Third Round of the Ladder

As Albert carved the last rune, a life force field enveloped his soul. At the same time, his magic pressure officially broke through 1000, and because of the previous accumulation, it immediately rushed to 1100.

At the same time, Gromdall’s power was weakened by Albert’s permanent defensive force field.

In reality, Albert gasped and looked at his hands. “Is this what it means to be a formal wizard?”

“It’s such a strange feeling. It’s like the whole world has changed.”

Angelo and Aisi looked at Albert with envy. Compared with Albert, they didn’t know how long it would take for them to become official wizards.

No matter what difficulties or setbacks Albert had encountered before, as soon as he became a formal wizard, those things became a thing of the past.

He now only has one identity – a first-ring wizard!
Albert looked at Locke and thanked him: “Locke, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would never be able to become a formal wizard.”

Locke nodded slightly. “Next, follow the information I’ve given you and gradually refine the Forest Sanctuary, gradually engraving the permanent defensive runes of the Withering Field and the Harvest Field. Then, you can use the Power of Mist.”

“Teacher Harun Vera should be contacting you soon. Alright everyone, this spiritual projection has reached its limit. Let’s stop here for now.”

“Congratulations, Albert, and welcome to become an official wizard.”

The next moment, Locke’s incarnation disappeared.

In the dormitory of the True Knowledge Academy on Mount Jinguan, Locke removed the gray fog slate. “With this, Albert will become a formal wizard. It shouldn’t be long before he completes the power of Mist.”

“If I can create the three-headed snake demon plant, it will be of great benefit to both me and him.”

“Once Albert masters Mist’s power, my workload in the Southeast Corner will be greatly reduced. This way, I can earn 30,000 magic stones every month without having to do too much work,” Locke pondered. “At most, I’ll serve as a senior advisor. I’ll only be needed when Albert encounters problems he can’t handle.”

“This state is also the most ideal state of cooperation.”

As soon as the sun rose, Locke went to the plantation in Alsace to conduct the fourth generation of self-pollination, and then went to a public laboratory. After reporting in, he discussed with Mason Witch and others, and then went to the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion, continuing to use the bonus of the Dragon Nest Strong Luck Technique to find the potion formula that can change the plant essence and create a three-headed snake.

Such busy days continued for some time.

A week later, in the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion, Locke drank a bottle of lucky potion, which brought his luck to the extreme in the next day.

Then, Locke looked at the potion material box in front of him. This was a potion material equipment unique to the potion master, called Hundred Squares.

There are three hundred small squares in it, which contain various potion materials. It is a common equipment used by potion masters to prepare new potion formulas. In fact, you only need to put a bunch of materials in the classified squares, and then it is convenient for potion masters to choose the potion materials they need from them.

Potions masters can use the Hundred Squares to effectively sort out their thoughts and figure out which materials are more suitable as marginal materials or secondary materials, and which materials can be used as auxiliary materials to expel toxins.

With the help of Dragon Nest’s Luck and Lucky Potion, as well as the potion that Locke had failed to synthesize in the past week and the hints he got from the entries, Locke felt his ideas flow like a spring, and he quickly selected five secondary materials, eleven auxiliary materials, and five marginal materials from the hundred squares.

After formulating the recipe, it is necessary to determine the heat treatment method.

But this is actually easier to do, because different materials have their own specific rules for heating.

Therefore, you can design the heat by using the materials and the order in which they are put in.

Infer the process from the results.

At this moment, with the blessing of powerful luck, Locke felt his mind was clearer than ever before.

Three hours later, a bottle of lavender potion appeared in Locke’s hand. Locke flicked the potion bottle with his finger, and the potion in the bottle immediately rippled and magical energy rippled on its surface.

Locke sensed a mysterious luck. “Today is my lucky day.”

He poured the potion into the flowerpot and placed a piece of moss pith next to the Hydra seed. Soon the Hydra seed took root and sprouted, and under the influence of Locke’s rapid growth magic, the magical tide of Golden Crown Mountain, and the moss pith, it quickly grew into a fast-growing Hydra adult.

Locke raised his eyebrows and saw that the nine heads of the Hydra Demon Plant had turned into five.

Locke conducted a simple test and found that the five-headed snake magic plant’s requirement for an individual’s magic pressure was indeed reduced by at least two-thirds. The original nine-headed snake magic plant had extremely high requirements for the magic pressure of individual wizards.

As a result, even Locke needed to rely on the Hydra’s magic pressure storage function to barely use it for half an hour, even though he could increase his magic pressure to 9999 through a series of means.

The current fast-growing five-headed snake magic plant has reduced the magic pressure by at least two-thirds. Of course, even so, it is not the ideal single magic plant three-headed snake.

The five-headed snake is still a tactical-level magic plant, but if the nine-headed snake is a heavyweight tactical-level magic plant, then the five-headed snake is a lightweight tactical-level magic plant.

The five-headed snake magic plant is a legitimate magic plant that can be used by individual wizards for personal use.

Although it is currently just a fast-growing magic plant with limited power, Locke is still somewhat satisfied after testing it.

Although he still hasn’t created his ideal three-headed snake, the five-headed snake magic plant can temporarily meet his current needs, and it may also improve the performance of his nine-headed snake series magic plants on September 1st in Arthas.

“Actually, for me personally, a five-headed snake might be more suitable for me than a three-headed snake. Having five heads means I can simultaneously superimpose five permanent defense force fields on myself. Adding my own permanent defense force field, I can use six permanent defense force fields at once.”

Locke said, “This way, I can effectively switch between using the Power of Mist and other permanent defense force fields. If I use the three-headed snake demon plant, I need to use at least two three-headed snake demon plants, otherwise I won’t be able to switch the permanent defense force field and can only use the Power of Mist.”

“Using two three-headed snake plants would consume even more of my magic power and waste even more of my energy. It would also require me to constantly use two botanical spells to control them. This would leave a huge hole in a battle of the same level.”

“But Ms. Mist, there is a second powerful permanent defense field at the first ring stage—Life Reload. Therefore, I will definitely need to use six permanent defense fields simultaneously in the future. Therefore, although the development of the five-headed snake was an accident, now that I think about it, it is something I need.”

Locke said, “Of course, we can’t give up on developing the three-headed snake magic plant. Because the three-headed snake magic plant is a single-level magic plant, it will definitely sell better and more wizards will need it.”

“Moreover, magic like the Forest Sanctuary is indeed unique in the Southeast Corner. However, this may not be the case in the Three Lakes. I’m afraid there are also some special magics in the Three Lakes that can switch to a permanent defensive force field.”

“So, it is still necessary to complete the three-headed snake, the five-headed snake, and the nine-headed snake.”

Locke went through some simple tests in the potion room and frowned slightly. He wondered if it was because of the fast-growing magic plant, but the five-headed snake would reduce the power of his single permanent defense field by about 50%.

It cannot perfectly present all of its permanent defensive force fields like the Hydra.

Locke thought about it for a moment and understood the reason.

In fact, it is not the fault of the magic plant, but the problem of the total amount of magic pressure.

The magic pressure required by the nine-headed snake is more than three times that required by the five-headed snake.

Therefore, the Hydra can stack permanent defense fields without reducing the power of these defensive magics in the slightest, but this is not the case with the Pentacles.

Even if he could use the five-headed snake magic plant with his own strength, the total amount of magic pressure would not be enough.

Therefore, the power of each permanent defense force field will decrease.

This problem is easy to solve. If five serious wizards use the five-headed snake at the same time, there will be no problem. The power of each permanent defense field will not decrease.

You can also use some external magic pressure to provide external magic pressure to make up for the problem that the five-headed snake will cause the defense of a single permanent defense field to decrease.

Even if it can’t make up for all the problems, it can make up for most of them.

Moreover, in this way, he could sell the matching magic plants for the five-headed snake, or other equipment. If he thought about it carefully, this seemed like a good idea.

Locke thought: “With the five-headed snake, I have finally solved the problem of the time limit for using my Mist power.”

Locke looked at the five-headed snake in his hand and saw that this fast-growing five-headed snake could not withstand the magic pressure input by Locke. Suddenly the vines broke, and the crocodile chain heads instantly burned. The whole fast-growing five-headed snake fell to the ground and turned into ashes in the flames.

Locke was not surprised by this, because this was just a fast-growing magic plant with weakened functions and limited carrying capacity. It was just a sample that he had grown using high-pressure magic.

That is why the current phenomenon occurs.

“Next, we need to complete the self-fertilization of the Hydra and the Pentadra as quickly as possible, and then hand the seeds over to the traders in Alsace for trading.”

“I will use the money earned from this horizontal project to support my vertical project.”

Arthas has its own planting base, which seems to be not yet in the wizarding world.

So there is no need for Locke to find a plantation and plant the seeds. He only needs to provide Arthas with a continuous supply of magic plant seeds.

“I don’t know why, but I always feel that I should continue configuring it.” Locke looked at his crucible and thought.

He collected all the materials, then organized the recipes, compiled all the failed records and the final successful recipes into a booklet, and named this potion that could mutate the nine-headed snake magic plant seeds into five-headed snake magic plant seeds the Multi-Headed Snake Potion.

Then, Locke took out the ingredients for the lucky potion, and then raised the magic flame and let it burn under the crucible.

Ten hours later, in the evening, the main ingredients of the Lucky Potion gradually merged into one in the collision of Locke’s water element and fire element potion flames.

As a drop of sweat fell from his forehead, Locke poured the liquid in the crucible into the pentagonal potion bottle.

Without using the Primordial Fire and the Purifying Filter Stone, he successfully refined two lucky potions.

The Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion gave him a total of ten materials, and he used those ten materials to make two lucky potions.

“The third round of the ladder is finally completed.”

Locke put away the two bottles of lucky potion, left the potion room, and found the green dragon half-dragon on the first floor. He handed him the two bottles of lucky potion.

“I prepared the lucky potion in your Quetzalcoatl Pavilion after drinking it. This shouldn’t be considered a foul, right?”

The green dragon-half-dragon shopkeeper saluted Locke and said, “Of course. Increasing your luck to prepare potions is within the permitted range of the ladder test rules. This is different from taking shortcuts. Luck has no effect on your performance. If you don’t know how to prepare potions, even if you maximize your luck, it will be meaningless.”

“After all, preparing potions is a very complicated and delicate matter.”

The green dragon half-dragon complimented, “You were able to use ten ingredients to create two lucky potions. This success rate exceeds the 50% of potion masters who have reached this stage.”

“Congratulations, you’ve passed the third round of the ladder. Here is your magic box and the magic key to open it.”

“Would you like to participate in the fourth round of the ladder immediately?”

“The fourth round of the ladder is a question.”

The green dragon half-dragon said, “The higher-ups at our Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion have given you a challenge. As a potion master, you must solve it within a year and pass their inspection.”

“Of course, as a respected dragon, you have privileges. In this round of testing, you have the right to fail once. That is, if you fail to solve the problem within a year, your time will be automatically extended for another year. If your answer fails to pass the approval of our Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion, you will also be given another chance to try again.”

Locke said indifferently: “So, what is the topic?”

The green dragon half-dragon shop owner saluted Locke and apologized, saying, “I can only tell you the type of question, but not the specific content of the question. Once the content of the question is revealed to others, it is no longer a question.”

“The fourth round usually involves the Quetzalcoatl’s senior management making some requests, and asking you to create a one-ring potion formula that meets these requirements within a specific period of time.”

Locke nodded slightly, and at the same time used the magic key in his hand to open the magic box, only to see a small stone in the magic box.

The green dragon half-dragon store manager said, “Congratulations, this is the potion master’s pet – the Obelisk Golem.”

“This is a special potion master’s pet, cultivated by earth wizards using special earth elemental creatures. At first, the Obelisk Golem appears to be just an ordinary, lifeless stone, but as long as the potion master continues to pour potions on the surface of the stone, the Obelisk Golem will continue to grow.”

“Even the upper limit is extremely high.”

“If a stone demon can regularly drink waste from second-level potions, there is even a precedent for it becoming a second-level creature.”

“Of course, most potion masters sprinkle the waste from failed potions on the Obelisk Golem. For potion masters, producing waste is perfectly normal, so potion masters welcome pets like the Obelisk Golem, which likes to eat waste.”
