Synthesis Wizard

The magic stone lamp emitted a warm glow, illuminating the entire workshop as if it were daytime.

After successfully synthesizing the magic stone, Su Nan immediately replaced all the lighting fixtures in the base with magic stone lamps.

Compared to torches and oil lamps, the light from magic stone lamps was much more stable and brighter.

Energy consumption was also low, with a single magic stone able to sustain the magic stone lamp for over half a year.

Similarly, the alcohol lamps used in potion making were also replaced with higher precision burning lamps powered by magic stones.

Thanks to this, Su Nan’s potion making success rate increased by a few percentage points.

Under the bright lights, Su Nan looked intently at the ring in his palm, a smile of joy on his face.

After the materials he commissioned from the Fire Fox Trading Company were delivered, he immediately began manufacturing magical items.

The first item he chose was a spatial magic item.

Following the plan he had set earlier, Su Nan created seven alchemy-grade space rings in one go, then placed them all in the magic cube, successfully synthesizing a micro-light-grade space ring.

【Space Ring (Micro-Light-Grade/Low Magical Item), containing 5 cubic meters of storage space. Objects placed inside are unaffected by the passage of time, but living beings cannot be placed inside. 】

Alchemy-grade space rings were only 0.5 cubic meters in size and did not have the effect of pausing the flow of time.

However, after synthesizing the micro-light-grade space ring, the space expanded tenfold, and it also gained the effect of pausing the flow of time, making it far superior to the alchemy-grade space ring.

“I won’t have to keep taking things in and out of the magic cube anymore.”

Su Nan put the space ring on his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

“Next, I need to make micro-light-grade magic items for attack and defense.”

Defensive magic items were easy to choose, 《Low-Level Magical Item Encyclopedia》 contained the manufacturing methods for defensive rings, and Su Nan could follow those to manufacture a few, then synthesize them.

As for attack-type magic items, Su Nan thought long and hard before finally choosing an alchemy-grade magic item called the Ice Burst Necklace.

Its effect was to create an explosion of extreme cold shockwaves centered on the user, dealing ice damage to an area within ten meters, and adding a frost-retardation effect.

It could deal damage and control the battlefield at the same time!

A win-win situation!

However, unlike space rings, which only need to be sufficient, attack and defense magic items were always better with greater power.

So Su Nan planned to manufacture more, hoping to synthesize micro-light-grade magic items with greater power.

He just needed to be on the verge of breaking through to the level of a wizard.

After all, wizard equipment required the spiritual power of a formal wizard to control and use.

“With that in mind, I’ll definitely need a lot of them for synthesis.”

Su Nan took a deep breath, concentrated his spirit, and continued to devote himself to the manufacturing of magical items.

Starlight Calendar 1251.

Just a few days after the New Year celebrations, the first batch of Dragon Blood Fruits ripened.

Su Nan immediately gathered a group of guards and had them take the Dragon Blood Fruits to test their specific effects.

The results pleased him greatly.

The effect of the Dragon Blood Fruit on strengthening physique was roughly equivalent to one-third of a low-grade secondary Dragon Blood Potion.

This was already quite good.

After all, Shining Light City’s current monthly production of secondary Dragon Blood Potion was less than twenty bottles, while Dragon Blood Fruit could produce over a thousand fruits every three months, which translated to over a hundred bottles of secondary Dragon Blood Potion per month.

Production had increased by more than five times!

This production volume was enough to supply the current army of Shining Light City.

Even if Shining Light City expanded its army in the future, it wouldn’t be a problem, as the Dragon Blood Fruit’s production could continue to increase as long as the planting scale was expanded.

The only prerequisite was to have enough apprentices to care for and cultivate them.

This required time to solve.

【Level 1 Summoning Technique】could increase the number of helpers, but it was too uncertain.

Su Nan had tried hundreds of times and only managed to summon a suitable one like Grily.

Finding enough helpers through this method would also take a long time.

“The key is to attract them to stay.”

Grily was an immortal race, and her long life gave her ample time and interest to experience everything that could bring her new and exciting things.

Therefore, after being summoned by Su Nan, when she heard that she would be the warehouse manager of the base, she immediately expressed great interest and agreed without hesitation.

Her requested remuneration was also not high, only three magic stones per month.

According to Grily, witnessing the growth of a group of young wizard apprentices was quite an interesting thing.

Su Nan guessed that ‘young wizard apprentices’ included not only Xie Man and the other three, but perhaps himself as well.

Besides the Dragon Blood Fruit, the planting of the Silver Moon Flower was also very encouraging.

Because they were planted early, the Silver Moon Flowers had already been harvested twice.

The improved Silver Moon Flower yielded significantly more essence when extracted, greatly reducing the cost of synthesizing super-ability potions.

It was also because of this that Su Nan had extra secondary revitalization potions to provide to his three students.

After the three little ones took on the task of caring for the magic plants and extracting the essence of the Silver Moon Flower, he was instantly relieved and had more time to devote to other tasks.

It was worth mentioning that not long ago, the three little ones all successfully constructed their first star ring.

Xie Man was the fastest, achieving it in just over seven months.

Most of this was due to the secondary revitalization potions.

Su Nan remembered that when he first started practicing the Star Ring Meditation Method, he only used Silver Moon Flower essence, which was far less effective than the secondary revitalization potions.

In comparison, the three little ones were undoubtedly luckier, having potions to help them with their meditation from the very beginning.

However, even under those circumstances, Su Nan only took six months to construct his first star ring.

From this point of view, the three little ones’ aptitude was not as good as his.

The second to construct a star ring was Corey, who took almost eight months, a few days slower than Xie Man.

The last one was Atir, who took about nine months.

After successfully constructing their first star ring, the three little ones were now learning zero-ring spells.

However, Su Nan estimated that it would take them half a year or more to master their first spell.

This was still with the enhancement of secondary revitalization potions.

After all, they didn’t have panels or other cheat codes like him to speed up their spell mastery.

Speaking of panels, Su Nan opened his and took a look.

The Star Ring Meditation Method had now reached level 9, and he had constructed eight star rings, only one more to go.

As he expected, the amount of proficiency required to upgrade the 9th level Star Ring Meditation Method had skyrocketed to two hundred thousand.

According to his estimate, it would take at least six months to break through and upgrade.

His spiritual power was currently 23.88.

Once he constructed the ninth star ring, it would probably increase to 25.

“The higher the level, the harder it becomes to increase spiritual power.”

“To quickly advance to third-rank wizard apprentice, I really have to rely on the Nightmare Potion.”
