Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 595

Chapter 592: 9400 Magic Pressure and Harvest of Two Luxury Magical Weapons

Inside Rex’s Alchemy Workshop, Locke found the trader with whom he had signed a contract last time, and went to the quiet room with them.

The trader asked two fox maids to come forward with a tray covered with a black cloth. Locke took a look at the inky black, soft and smooth special cloth. It should be a magical cloth made of matte spider silk.

It has the special function of isolating magical energy, achieving the effect of [surface magic prohibition]. It is a type of fabric often used in shops in Yunze Wetland. Because of its surface magic prohibition, it can minimize the impact of the external environment on it.

This allows many products to be preserved for a long time, especially the sophisticated magic weapons in the alchemy workshop.

The trader lifted the matte spider silk cloth, revealing a bronze cauldron and a silver wooden wand gleaming with magical light lying beneath the tray.

Every detail of the bronze magic furnace seemed to have been tempered through thousands of trials. As Locke took the initiative to drop a drop of blood on it, the Thousand Layers Magic Furnace automatically turned into a ray of light and flew out, entering his soul, penetrating deep into his soul, and transformed into a bronze magic weapon equipped on his soul.

As the bronze magic weapon entered his soul, Locke’s magic pressure suddenly increased from 9200 to 9400.

Reduce at least three months of hard meditation out of thin air!

Moreover, Locke realized that the bronze magic weapon not only instantly increased his soul limit by 200 points, but also formed a kind of symbiotic relationship with his soul. As his soul became stronger, the Thousand Layer Magic Furnace would also become stronger.

This is the special characteristic of Soul Bronze.

It can grow with its master!
Therefore, it is equivalent to doubling the growth rate of the soul limit out of thin air.

Moreover, in the future, when his soul limit reaches 9999, he can use the soul furnace to enhance the upper limit of his soul’s strength to prevent situations like encountering the great wizard Sura.

Locke shook his head slightly. “Great Wizard Sura hasn’t left the Six Towers for a long time, so his experience is limited. If he had spent 500,000, or even 1,000,000 magic stones to purchase a bronze magic weapon and bound it to his soul, it could have at least alleviated his symptoms and given him another half a year.”

“If he had been in Yunze Wetland at the time, given his situation, it might not have been a dead end.”

“However, if you’re not in Yunze Wetland, there’s really no way to buy bronze magic weapons.”

The great wizard Sura would not leave the land of six towers. He had many enemies. He was afraid that as soon as he left the land of six towers, he would be killed by the enemies he had accumulated in the past five hundred years.

Only by staying in the Six Towers will he be completely safe.

The soul magic weapon requires the wizard himself to arrive at the scene, leave behind his soul aura and undergo some tests.

Moreover, the relevant technologies require the support of a complete technical industry chain, and it is difficult to forge them in the Six Towers.

But the most important thing is that the Soul Magic Weapon was something Locke himself read about in the free library in Yunze Wetland.

Many wizards are not even aware of the existence of Soul Devices (Bronze Devices).

The Eastern Boundary has fifty-three wizarding lands, each of which is extremely large, and each wizarding land is separated by a special natural barrier.

Except for the Sanze area, which can gather a large number of goods from wizarding lands all over the country because of the Cloud Lake and its special geographical advantages, most other wizarding lands are still relatively closed.

Coupled with some other reasons, the more backward the wizarding land is, the more closed and backward it is, and the more difficult it is to access the torrent of the wizarding world.

When Locke thought of this, he became more and more curious about why the wizarding world was different from other worlds. There was actually a chasm between each different wizarding land.

Moreover, judging from past history, such a thing did not exist in the world in the past.

Maybe there will be a chance for me to explore it myself, and then I may get some clues.

When the trader saw the bronze magic weapon enter Locke’s soul, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even in Rex’s Alchemy Workshop, there was still a possibility of mistakes.

After all, to create a bronze magic weapon, one has to endure the toxins of soul bronze, and one has to be painstaking and use one’s blood and sweat to forge a special magic weapon.

Therefore, casting this kind of magic weapon requires hundreds of people, most of whom are wizard apprentices who come to help with the work.

Large-scale alchemical equipment is also needed – a bronze alchemical blast furnace that costs 10 million magic stones!

If Locke is unable to use the bronze magic weapon, he will have to rework it, and this set of bronze magic weapons will be sold for nothing.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred.

The trader smiled at Locke and said, “As long as the bronze magic weapon can bind to your soul, it means there are no quality issues. And your magic pressure has also increased by 200…”

“So, our deal for the bronze magic furnace is complete.”

“Soul magic tools don’t have a warranty period, because there’s no way there’s going to be a warranty issue. The soul realm is incredibly mysterious.”

The trader paused. “Generally speaking, a wizard at the first crystallization stage who has never been bound to a bronze magic weapon will immediately experience a 100 to 200 increase in magic pressure after being bound to one. Your soul growth has almost reached its upper limit, which indicates that you possess high soul potential.”

Locke glanced at the trader and asked indifferently, “How is soul potential tested? What does it relate to?”

The trader was stunned for a moment, then apologized to Locke, saying, “I’m sorry, Mr. Augustine. Perhaps I shouldn’t have said that. I’m not a wizard who studies necromancy, just an alchemist, so it’s really hard to explain. I just said that your soul potential is relatively high, and my words were not rigorous.”

The trader explained in a low voice, “My teacher wrote an article on the Second Ring, Third Zone that specifically describes the relationship between the increase in magic pressure and soul potential when bound to a standard bronze magic weapon. He believes there is a positive proportional relationship between them.”

“Unfortunately, my teacher is also an alchemist, not a necromancy wizard, so it’s really hard for him to explain matters concerning the soul. But according to our Rex’s statistical feedback, the soul potential of wizards who possess those bloodlines and ancient secret knowledge is stronger than many people.”

Locke nodded, thinking of the mysterious dragon blood in himself.

The trader said, “Your Thousand Fold Demon Furnace will continue to improve along with your soul until you reach the Second Ring. Once you become a Second Ring wizard, if you wish to replace your Soul Magical Artifact, you can go to any alchemy workshop that sells Soul Magical Artifacts and pay a small fee to have your original Demon Furnace replaced.”

“Or, you can directly fuse it based on your original magic furnace.”

Locke looked at the trader in confusion.

Talking about his professional expertise, the trader gained confidence. He smiled and explained, “Soul Bronze has the ability to fuse with similar materials while maintaining its structure.”

“So when you replace the copper furnace, you just need to put a new one in.”

“This is your wand. It’s made of a molten peach branch, with three sections of water cloud white jade in the middle. The core is a dragon bird’s tail feather. It’s crafted entirely according to your personal characteristics and soul.”

The trader seemed to have heard something from his second-ring teacher and said to Locke, “This wand is filled with the breath of natural life. The molten peach symbolizes longevity and life force, while the three sections of water cloud white jade represent flowing spirituality.”

“My teacher said that if you buy a million-dollar wand, you might even have to use dragon crystal for the core. But at this price, you can only choose the dragon bird tail feather that best matches your soul. The dragon bird is the king of finches, and it perfectly matches some of your soul traits.”

“The entire wand is 23cm long and can be held in one hand without affecting your speed.”

Locke held the magic wand in the shape of a coiled dragon holding a peach in his hand. The head of the magic wand was a half-cracked longevity peach with a slightly upturned tip and a hollow interior, leaving a space for a small gem to be embedded.

It’s a pity that it’s still empty at the moment.

The body of the staff is made of a whole branch of a molten longevity peach, inlaid with three sections of water cloud white jade using a special inlay technique, and looks very elegant.

It also looks like a giant dragon holding a peach.

Locke felt the shape, texture, size, and various details of the wand, as if they were tailor-made for him.

Like one’s own companion.

Holding the wand in his hand, in just a moment, he felt as if the wand was his arm, wielding it like an arm, and his own magic power merged with it.

The power increased by about one level out of thin air.

“Sure enough, buying a wand before participating in the magic fighting competition is the right decision.” Locke thought: “This wand has greatly improved my magic power. If I compete without a wand, it would be like fighting someone with weapons with my bare hands.”

“Also, according to the information I read about the magic combat competition in the free area of the library over the past month, the use of permanent defense fields is prohibited in magic combat competitions!”

“And every Magic Fighting Tournament has had members from professional fighting leagues with tens of millions of clubs participating, so the competition is incredibly fierce.”

Locke held the dragon-mouthed longevity peach wand and waved it. Energy vortices formed by natural magic appeared in the air.

He watched the scene with satisfaction, then said, “It’s a good wand. It has enhanced my strength in all aspects. But what’s wrong with the head of the wand?”

The trader said, “Oh, well, it’s like this, distinguished guest. When my teacher was designing a wand specifically for you, he racked his brains, constantly thinking about how to make it even better for you. It’s a shame you only spent 500,000 magic stones, so many of his original ingenious designs had to be abandoned due to cost reasons.”

“And this was the last thought he had at that time. He couldn’t bear to see such a brilliant idea being castrated, so he left a blank spot on your wand for the rune stone to be embedded.”

“If you need anything, you can ask us to inlay the rune stone.”

The trader said with a sincere smile.

Locke was speechless, but he didn’t know what to say.

After all, in the alchemy workshop, finding someone to open a hole on your magic weapon to embed a rune stone also costs 10,000 magic stones.

The other party gave me a function for free.

However, the other party was obviously waiting for me to find them and embed the rune stone.

A rune stone is very expensive, starting from the most basic one at ten thousand, but even a practical ring of rune stones can cost an exaggerated amount of around five hundred thousand.

If you want to have some fun, you can spend a million magic stones.

The trader asked Locke, “Sir, would you like to see the rune stone atlas again? My teacher suggested that you embed a [Peach Blossom Rune Stone] in it. This will disperse the power of the magic you unleash with this wand, making each of your strikes feel like a thousand strikes against the enemy.”

Locke was stunned for a moment and said, “So what this means is that your spells will be given a new skin, but the essence and spell model will remain unchanged?”

The trader nodded. “But even just changing your skin would be very useful. First, it would prevent your enemies from seeing your spells. Second, it might even have some unexpected effects.”

“Also, if you want a more practical rune stone, we have options for that too. For example, the Rune of Strength, the Rune of Tranquility… Of course, my teacher recommends that you choose the Taohua Rune Stone.”

The trader picked up an atlas and handed it to Locke. “So, do you want to take a look now?”

Locke picked up the two magic weapons and turned to leave. “No, that’s not necessary.”

Rune stones are the masterpieces of enchanters. If magic weapons are the main industry of alchemists, then rune stones are a major industry in the field of enchanters.

However, I am not rich enough to add a skin to my spells.

With the money I have now, I can only buy something with basic functions to meet my own needs.

The remaining money should be saved to prepare for the promotion to the second-ring wizard.

Without money, how can I advance to the second-ring wizard?

Moreover, the Celtic team leader failed five times, and only became a second-ring wizard when he constructed the ultimate magic for the sixth time.

Although he later said that his first five failures were largely due to lack of money.

This means that he needs huge resources to advance to the second-ring wizard.

Locke left the store.

The trader sighed slightly when he saw Locke leave, and then saw a wizard in the Moon Ring stage walking out from the second floor of the quiet room.

The badge worn by this wizard represents his status as an expert alchemist and an expert enchanter.

The trader looked at the Moon Ring Wizard and said, “Deputy Manager, I’m so sorry. It seems I’m still not very good at business. The reason I was able to close a million-dollar deal last time was probably because of this customer’s generosity.”

“I wanted him to start a rune stone enchantment business worth 500,000 this time, but who knew it would still fail.”

The Moon Ring Wizard was a dwarf with a long white beard. “Don’t be discouraged, little Morgan.”

“I’m just giving you practice. You know, in our profession of alchemy, many people are poor and destitute. Why? Because they don’t know how to make money, so they can’t afford research. Without money for research, they can’t produce good things to make money. And then it becomes a vicious cycle.”

“Money is the most important thing!”

The dwarf master Simon blew his beard and glared. “Why are other alchemists so miserable while I’m so rich? It’s because I’ve been conditioned to make money since I was a child. You shouldn’t just bury yourself in alchemy.”

“And learn how to make money. Do you understand what the problem is?”

Wizard Morgan shook his head slightly. “Manager Simon, I’ve already created the needs for the customers as you requested. Why is it that I still haven’t sold anything?”

Master Simon shook his head slightly. “Business and research are essentially the same thing. You just missed the point. You did create new needs for the customer, but you didn’t build their trust.”

“My point is, doing business is about giving customers a signal that they can trust you. I’m saying that you weren’t sincere enough just now. You didn’t consider the issue from the customer’s perspective, which is why you proposed that ridiculous new offer of 500,000 Enchanted Runestones to buy a spell skin.”

Master Simon took out an ordinary magic wand inlaid with Taohua Rune Stone from the Star Ring, and gracefully drew several elegant runes in the air with the magic wand. First, a spell model formed by an ordinary fireball spell appeared in the air.

It was a huge fireball.

As a result, the next moment, the Taohua Rune Stone at the bottom of the magic wand flickered, and the energy and temperature of the fireball remained unchanged, but it turned into thousands of countless small fireballs, like fireflies in the sky, surrounding a point in the void and continuously attacking, which was dazzling and eye-catching.

“I carefully recommended Taohua Rune Stone based on his situation. It was originally a good choice, but in your mouth it became a ridiculous sales pitch.”

“Do you really think I’m just doing business?” Wizard Simon said, “My way of doing things is, if I want to make money, I have to completely consider the customer’s perspective and recommend the most suitable things for them.”

Wizard Morgan quickly saluted. “Teacher, I understand. I’ll try it next time that guest comes.”

Wizard Simon nodded, looking in the direction Locke had left, lost in thought. ‘As expected of a wizard from the Dragon Blood Society, he actually exudes such a strong dragon aura.’

‘It’s actually quite interesting to design wands for these dragon-blooded wizards.’
