Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 412 Activating the Golden Two-Headed Dragon Bloodline

One month later, in the White Dragon Tower, inside the Elemental Pool.

At this moment, powerful arcane energy emerged from the elemental pool. The azure liquid continuously produced rolling bubbles, and each bursting bubble released a powerful energy.

Immediately afterward, Locke picked up the Sun Potion and took a sip. This was a level 8 crafted item, the Sun Potion, enhanced through synthesis.

The only modification was to the control of the heat, reducing the use of one type of ice elemental magic fire. As a result, the effect of the Sun Potion was enhanced, elevating it to the perfect level.

Locke drank the perfect-grade Sun Potion, and instantly, streams of fiery energy formed within his body. The ray of sunlight intercepted from the sky entered Locke's body, transforming his physique and granting him the talent known as the Son of the Sun.

Yes, in the field of first-level potions, as long as you are willing to spend money, the talent of being a child of the elements can be artificially created.

However, this transformation is extremely drastic, and even an ordinary first-ring wizard might not be able to withstand it due to their physique and magical power.

Therefore, during the apprenticeship stage, there is neither the financial means nor the physical condition to undergo this kind of transformation.

As a potion maker, Locke himself spent at least 100,000 magic stones to concoct the Sun Potion using the Primal Flame.

It is evident that an ordinary potion master would likely be unable to concoct the Sun Potion, or would need to spend at least a million magic stones, or even more.

For ordinary first-ring wizards, it's not just a matter of money; there are also issues like information asymmetry. They may not know these things, and even if they do, they may not have the means to obtain the precious Sun Potions.

The Sun Potions have always been at the first level of Potions, and are known as the art of timing.

Thirty-three types of magical flames, thousands of changes in the temperature of the magical flames, and raw materials costing over thirty thousand are required to concoct a single bottle of Sun Potion, making even many potion-making wizards hesitate to attempt it.

However, as long as the timing and temperature are resolved, the Sun Potion is actually easier to make. Its ingredients are relatively easy to collect, the formula is clear, and its side effects and functions are also well-defined.

An hour later, the energy on Locke's body completely subsided, and the medicinal properties were fully absorbed by his body. Then, a flame shot out from his eyes.

"My perception of fire element particles has been qualitatively improved, but this is only the foundation. My ability to perceive composite particles such as light particles and brilliant particles, which are similar to solar particles, within the fire element particles has also been qualitatively improved."

Locke let out a soft breath. "As expected of the Sun Potion, hailed as the art of mastering the first stage of the Flame Art."

"Its effects are indeed powerful. As a result, my ability to perceive life energy is twice that of an ordinary child of the elements (because of the nature guardian), my ability to perceive solar particles is at the level of a child of the elements, and my ability to perceive ordinary fire elements should also be at the level of a level 7 child of the elements."

Locke looked at the Fire Pearl Tomato Flower he wore on his right index finger and saw that it was bursting with fiery spiritual energy, even stronger than usual.

"Because of the Sun Child's constitution, the power of my first-level botanical magic, [Bright Flame Aura], has increased by at least 10%."

"It seems that it is still meaningful to transform one's physique into that of an elemental child in a certain direction. For first-ring wizards, they have long lifespans and numerous methods. Bloodline studies, potion studies, alchemy, and other fields all have ways to allow us to obtain a physique equivalent to that of an elemental child."

"Talent, to some extent, becomes something that humans can modify, while truly important ideas and the like become the most valuable assets."

Locke pondered, "Of course, modifying a wizard's talent level, even for a first-ring wizard, still means a huge consumption of resources, as well as a huge learning cost and channels for information sources, so it is not a simple matter." Locke checked his body and could already feel a nascent golden two-headed dragon bloodline within him, but it was still too weak and its energy was not strong, roughly equivalent to the level of a first-class wizard apprentice.

However, after being stimulated by the perfect-grade solar potion, the bloodline within him was completely activated.

Originally, there was a possibility of activation failure, with the process being interrupted halfway through, but now it's like entering a highway, and it can no longer be stopped.

Locke freely switched between the vertical pupils of a dragon and the pupils of a human, while a golden force field formed around him—an energy field created by golden magic.

Locke stepped out of the Elemental Pool and changed into a clean wizard's robe. At the same time, the liquid arcane energy in the Elemental Pool quickly returned to the Elemental Fission Well.

Locke took out a document about the Golden Two-Headed Dragon from his Astral Ring. This was the only document about the Golden Two-Headed Dragon in the White Dragon Tower Library.

"The golden two-headed dragon in its youth possesses the strength of a first-ring level and has some special golden magic, one of the most basic of which is the anti-life force field: the golden force field."

“Dragons don’t have a permanent defensive force field; only wizards possess one. But dragons have something similar: the world’s most durable armor that keeps them immortal and unharmed—dragon scales.” Locke read through the documents. “Through archaeological methods, their basic abilities have been traced back, and ancient dragons, like the golden two-headed dragon, have been found with…golden force field runes inscribed on their scales.”

"The Golden Force Field is one of the anti-life force fields in the first stage. In the area covered by the Golden Force Field, life cannot survive. Mortal objects will be forcibly turned into golden statues, mortal fires will be extinguished instantly, mortal water cannot approach, and mortals will lose their souls and die directly, leaving behind a golden skull, which will then be treasured by the Golden Two-Headed Dragon."

"At the same time, even wizards cannot get close to the anti-life force field: the golden force field. Magical attacks will be blocked by the dragon scale armor covered by this anti-life force field, and wizards may also lose their lives due to prolonged contact with the dragon scales."

"Even a wizard with powerful magic cannot stay in an anti-life field for a long time, as his life force will gradually disappear and he will become weak."

Locke hadn't expected this anti-life force field to be so powerful. "Dragon scales are one of the sources of a dragon's power, at least in the young dragon stage. Dragon scales are equivalent to a permanent defensive force field on the wizard's soul level."

"Although my golden two-headed dragon bloodline is still too young, and I am essentially a wizard rather than a dragon, so I cannot obtain dragon scales, some... runes have already appeared on the surface of my skin."

With a thought, Locke's hidden golden dragon runes lit up with magical light, and then an invisible anti-life force field appeared around him.

However, it was only in its embryonic form. Locke used his magic pressure to support the half-finished dragon scales on his body. As a result, by utilizing his current normal magic pressure of 6030, he directly strengthened the Golden Force Field to the level of a normal first-level defensive magic.

Locke's expression changed slightly. "Wait, because this ancient creature's bloodline originally came from within me, it is perfectly compatible with my soul, unlike other ancient creature bloodlines, where I only possess a portion of their power."

"Therefore, I now possess a semi-finished dragon scale. If I modify it slightly and develop it further, I can use it as the core to unleash a spell with a defensive strength close to that of a permanent defensive field."

Locke began to ponder deeply. "Of course, a dragon scale can only ever be a half-finished product. It will only become more complete because of the powerful golden two-headed dragon bloodline within me. But because I am just a human, I can never possess dragon scales."

"However, I can combine this magic with my forest sanctuary, and then try to buy a real dragon scale. Perhaps then I can use an anti-life force field that is very close to, or even equal to, that of the golden two-headed dragon, which is unique to ancient dragons."

Anti-life field is a well-known term in wizarding civilizations.

One's own life force field is called the anti-undead bio-force field.
