Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 565

Chapter 562 September 1st True Love Day

Chapter 562 September 1st True Love Day
Locke had heard of the Obelisk Golem before. This kind of thing is an excellent large-scale defensive magical creature. Once it grows up, it can grow a defensive barrier to protect the potion master inside.

Many potion masters like to raise an obelisk golem because of its effect.

It can provide some protection when they are preparing potions.

Moreover, the Obelisk Stone Demon can suppress the tide of magic, suppress the abnormal changes in magic pressure and spiritual level, and provide stable configuration conditions for the potion master.

Even the obelisk golems, which carry a large amount of the world principles of the wizarding world and absorb a large amount of potion waste, can help potion masters provide a stable environment for preparing potions in other worlds, especially those worlds with a huge difference in world principles from the wizarding world.

Locke placed the obelisk golem into his astral ring with satisfaction, and after some thought, he agreed to enter the fourth round of the ladder.

Contrary to what he had guessed, the fourth round of the ladder was not a second-level potion test, but still a first-level one. However, it was no longer as simple as providing a recipe and letting him configure it. Instead, it made requirements and asked him to combine the corresponding recipe.

Obviously, this is a new round of testing for the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion.

A potion master who can pass this set of tests will be able to make great progress in the field of potions.

Therefore, there is no reason for me to stop.

After getting Locke’s affirmative answer, the green dragon half-dragon walked to the location of the optical transmitter and sent a message, which was soon transmitted back from the optical transmitter.

The green half-dragon handed Locke a card. “Sir, this is your question card. According to the rules, I cannot see the contents of this question card. Starting from the fourth round of the ladder, the review will not be conducted by frontline personnel like us, but by the powerful figures behind the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion!”

Locke took the card from him and saw the following: [There is a wizard in the Southern Witch City who is both a Transfigurationist and a Necromancer. He excels in both Transfiguration and Necromancy. He is an excellent shapeshifter who can transform himself into ten magical creatures with a single spell. He has also delved deeply into the mysteries of the undead creatures of the Abyss.]

“But he found that he was increasingly unable to maintain the stability of his transformation magic and his affinity with the undead. His body was experiencing a constant energy conflict, and the addition of abyssal energy undoubtedly increased the difficulty of maintaining balance.”

“Therefore, please prepare a first-level Abyssal potion that can balance the Abyssal energy, Transfiguration energy, and the power of the dead.”

“The resources required for the preparation can be provided by the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion within one year. The necessary materials can also be provided by the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion. The requirement is that the Primordial Fire, the Purifying Filter Stone, and other related items may not be used.”

Locke grew serious.

There is no doubt that the Quetzalcoatl Pavilion can assign such a task to me, which proves that the Quetzalcoatl Pavilion is very familiar with me, at least in terms of alchemy.

Only then would the other party entrust the task of configuring a new abyss-type potion to himself.

Locke clicked on a QR code-like text on the card, and suddenly a large amount of information emerged from this special magic rune.

Personal information about the one-ring crystal wizard from the Southern Witch City continued to emerge, and the data was very comprehensive. The Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion conducted a very detailed experimental examination on that person.

Locke could even see the various potions that the other party was currently taking during the day. He needed to take Solid Spirit Pills in the morning, Firebird Potion in the afternoon, and Twin Balance Potion in the evening.

These are all common potions that wizards who follow both the Transfiguration School and the Spiritualism School need to take, although the number and types are a bit more.

Logically, these potions could cure the energy conflict in this wizard, but the problem was that he chose to study the energy of the abyss.

This made the three energy conflict models in his body more complicated, and the potion originally used to reconcile the necromancer and the shapeshifter could only temporarily stabilize his current condition.

“I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the complex power situation in this wizard’s body is somewhat similar to my own.” Locke pondered: “So, while studying the balance potion, it will not only help me pass the fourth round of the ladder test, but it seems to be beneficial to me as well.”

‘Of course, it will definitely improve my Potions skills.’

Locke put away the answer sheet and said, “I know.”

Then he turned and left the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion.

To develop this new potion, a lot of information needs to be consulted. Locke has immediately thought of what information he needs to consult. First, he will look through the formulas of balance potions, and then look through the formulas of abyss potions. From these classic formulas, find a formula that can solve the wizard’s situation.

However, we can talk about this later.

For now, I should deal with the Hydra series of magical plants as soon as possible.

Locke returned to the breeder’s public laboratory and discussed their competition with two of his students, Gregor and Williams.

At the workstation, Locke congratulated the two and said, “You two have passed the first round of the breeder competition.”

“That means he won the apprentice-level breeder competition within the Golden Crown Mountain Academy.”

“You can represent Jinmian Mountain as its wizard apprentices and compete against other schools in Yunze Wetland.”

Williams beamed with joy.

Gregor was still a little slow to react. He was stunned and couldn’t believe that he could be so outstanding.

Locke said, “However, the second round requires more detailed information on the magic plants. Williams, Gregor, I’ve seen the magic plant cultivation methods you developed for the second competition, and I don’t think they’re enough.”

“So, I will design some training plans for both of you.”

Locke handed Gregor a set of materials. “Here are ten questionnaires I’ve compiled on how to cultivate apprentice-level banana-type magical plants. Please complete them for me.”

“Gregor, your foundation is not as good as Williams’, so in order to help you go further, I will give you a test every week.”

Gregor was deeply touched. “Thank you, Master. I am sorry for your trouble.”

“I’m so ashamed.”

Locke didn’t know what Gregor was ashamed of. As his teacher, he just gave him some tests. What was there for him to be ashamed of?

This child has such an honest character.

Locke said, “Actually, it’s not very troublesome for me. The paper was written by a first-class wizard apprentice from the scribe academy I hired. I just need to say a few words.”

It must be said that wizards from the general school are really strong in these auxiliary fields.

No wonder the general education school has become a prominent discipline in every wizarding land.

Locke wrote a list of books to Williams. “Williams, your foundation is good, but your knowledge is still too narrow.”

“Go to the library and borrow books according to this list.”

Williams said, “Okay, teacher.”

“Thank you for your advice.”

Williams suddenly thought of something and handed an application form to Locke. “Teacher Locke, this is my application form. I want to apply…”

Locke glanced at Williams’ application and asked in surprise, “You want to apply to participate in the Potions Relay Race? To join the school team for the Potions Relay Race at Mount Golden Crown?”

The key point is that I didn’t know before that Jinmian Mountain actually had a school team and something like a potion relay race.

Locke looked at the application form and found that there were sports activities in Jinman Mountain.

Williams blushed slightly, but nodded firmly. She always knew what she wanted and would pursue it with determination, even though she was just a simple girl who had not experienced much.

Williams said, “Teacher, a friend of mine who is a first-class wizard apprentice is also a member of the school team for the Golden Crown Mountain Potions Relay Race. She has invited me to join the school team several times before, so I also want to participate in the Potions Relay Race now.”

“This is my application form. Please rest assured that I will not affect my studies.”

Locke looked up at her. “I know. I’m very confident in you. However, I didn’t know there was such a thing as a school team in Jinmian Mountain.”

Gregor and Williams both looked at Locke strangely.

Williams was stunned for a moment. “Teacher, don’t you know?”

Gregor blinked. “Teacher, you don’t even know about the competitions at Yunze Wetland. Not only our annual school competitions, but also the regional competitions and the Yunze Wetland Premier League.”

“Those competitions are sponsored by allies of major stores. Every year there are exciting competitions that are really exciting to watch.”

“From intramural competitions to regional competitions and finally to the top leagues, athletes are gradually selected to move up. Champions can gain many things.”

Williams rolled his eyes at him. “Don’t try to show off your common sense in front of me. I’ve only just arrived at Yunze Wetlands. A great wizard like me would easily learn these things.”

Gregor was a little embarrassed. “Yes, yes, I was too excited. I just love watching the league, teacher, please don’t misunderstand me.”

“I just get excited when I talk about these things. I don’t mean to show off in front of you.”

Locke nodded. “On the contrary, I’m not offended at all. In fact, as your wizard mentor, I’m very happy to see you express your opinion so confidently just now, Gregor.”

“I hope I can see more of you in the future.”

Gregor became shy again.

Locke glanced at his two students. Williams seemed to admire him very much and always liked to protect him, while Gregor was an ordinary and honest student.

Locke said to Williams, “I will help you submit the application. But I don’t know whether it will be approved.”

Since there are many interests involved behind these leagues, and from what Gregor said, there is also a complete selection system, it is obvious that there is a lot of water behind it.

The number of places available for each school team is also limited. Obviously, this is the same as the breeder competition, and there are probably more people than meat.

Williams thanked Locke, “Thank you, teacher. The coach of the Golden Crown Mountain Potions Relay Race contacted me before and invited me.”

“So, I think the chances of me passing should be quite high.”

Locke nodded slightly. “Go to the plantation and help me complete the last generation of self-pollination. I have other things to do today.”

He had to go to the three magic mirrors again to analyze the various properties of the new natural magic structure components.

After another busy day, Locke did not return to the dormitory to rest, but went to the library and borrowed a lot of materials in the library, looking up information about the school sports competition – the sports meeting on September 1st and Jinman Mountain.

Locke was browsing in the free section of the library. “So, September 1st is Yunze Wetland’s True Love Festival, and November 1st is Yunze Wetland’s Sports Festival.”

“These sports competitions are sponsored by major store alliances. Part of the reason they emerged was because they wanted a place to showcase their products. So-called Transfiguration Arenas, Magic Obstacle Marathons, Magical Beast Taming Battles, Potions Relay Races, Mushroom Shoe Long Jump Contests, and Treeman Wristwatch Contests are all organized by these store alliances to showcase their products and discover new merchandise.”

Locke instantly realized that behind the many festivals and competitions held in Yunze Wetland was the shadow of the Yunze Wetland Store Alliance.

“These sports competitions are essentially product advertising platforms created by those store alliances. They can naturally attract the attention of a large number of wizards and are the best advertisements.”

“Over time, these advertising platform competitions became a regular occurrence in Yunze Wetland. Major wizard academies also actively participated, and the competitions themselves became meaningful. Winning the competitions alone was equivalent to achieving success, and one could obtain many resources.”

Locke said, “So, in order to win, many athletes in competitions have to purchase large quantities of equipment from various alliance stores.”

Locke discovered that this kind of competition was a win-win for both the pros and cons of the store alliance.

The competition itself is an advertisement for the store allies’ products. The competition itself can also consume the store allies’ products. The competition can also attract more wizards to join and enter this consumption-output-advertising cycle.

Locke said, “But it’s the same for me. If I can observe what these contestants need, I can also make a lot of money from this sports festival.”

“As for this True Love Day… it’s actually the same as Sports Day; it was forced into existence by the store alliance and given special significance.”

“The driving force behind this is probably the Rose Parliament, Alsace, and Frankfurt, which launched this festival.”

“The Rose Council has a large supply chain for rose-related magical plants and needs an opportunity to market these products. Alsace and Frankfurt, as allies of plantation-style shops, also hope to one day be able to sell large quantities of rose-related magical plants. Therefore, the three of them joined forces to launch the September 1st True Love Festival.”

“Through sponsorship of numerous sports events and other promotional activities, the three successfully instilled in the wizards of Yunze Wetland the custom of expressing love on September 1st by holding bouquets of flowers made from rose-like magical plants.”

“They associated September 1st, true love, and rose-like magical flower bouquets, wreaths, cups, and balls.”

“So, on that day, a large number of rose-type magic plants can be sold every year.”

“Because that day, a large number of wizards will travel to Alsace and Frankfurt, as well as to the Rose Council’s major stores, and even log into their Water Hyacinth system’s purchasing interface, so the sales of other magical plants will also increase significantly.”

Locke put down the information in his hand. “So that’s how it is. So, the school sports festivals on September 1st and November 1st are both good days for me to make a killing?”

“On September 1st, I can use the Hydra and Pentadra to harvest a wave. While it would be best to sell special rose magic plant bouquets, I don’t have time to cultivate a new rose magic plant right now. Besides, there will definitely be a lot of different rose magic plants that day. That’s a Red Sea area, and if I get caught up in it, the outcome is unknown.”

“However, I’m considering what I can sell at the school sports festival on November 1st. If I can develop matching magical plants and potions, I’m sure I’ll make a lot of money.”

“If I had a large amount of funds, I could pour it all into scientific research, which would greatly increase my chances of receiving special funding. Furthermore, I also need to prepare for advancement to a second-ring wizard, which requires accumulating a large amount of wealth. Therefore, the more magic stones I have, the better!”
