Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 113 A Great Harvest: Seven Magical Plants and Fragments of the Deception Orb!

Su Nan discovered that the key in his hand had disappeared, and then the treasure chest next to the Fountain of Life opened automatically, revealing a crack.

Su Nan sent a werewolf messenger to open the treasure chest, where they found a translucent glass bead about the size of an adult's palm inside.

Next to the treasure chest was a dusty spellbook. Su Nan opened the spellbook and learned what this seemingly ordinary glass bead was.

"Fragment of Deception: Input a thought into your mind, and the Fragment of Deception will help you visualize that thought and temporarily make it a reality."

Su Nan said, "But the materialized thing can only exist for 30 seconds."

"Cannot materialize objects that exceed one's magical energy."

"The higher the materialization energy of an object, the more life energy it requires in exchange."

Su Nan found the Oak Wizard's notes and warnings in the spellbook, which he read aloud: "The fragment of this jewel is embedded in his body and soul, constantly draining his life force to replicate chaotic and realistic illusions."

"This thing drained his life force, making him realize that only death could free him from the fragments of the Deceitful Orb, so the Oak Wizard chose death."

"But the Oak Wizard valued this fragment of the orb highly, so he deliberately sealed it away. The Oak Wizard even saw in the power of real illusions the hope of creating his ideal ecosystem without consumers."

Su Nan was speechless. The Oak Wizard was even planning to use this Deceptive Orb as a bargaining chip for his comeback.

Su Nan tried it out. He infused a little of his life force into the illusion of a calico cat using a fragment of the Deception Orb. As a result, a calico cat exactly like the one in his mind actually appeared on the ground of the second floor of the Wizard Tower.

"Meow~" The calico cat held its tail high, cowering in fear as it watched the pack of wolves lurking nearby.

Blom picked up the cat and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, the feel of it, the texture, it's just like I'm holding a real cat!"

Warwick also went over, but out of respect for his status, he couldn't just hug the cat directly. So he simply stroked the cat's tail slightly. "Indeed. It's just like a real cat."

*Click*

The calico cat's flesh and bones exploded.

Blom was a veteran who loved petting cats. He preferred doing leisurely chores, and he thought it would be nice to finally see a cute mammal deep in this plant world.

After all, because some people dislike mammals, you won't see any of the more advanced, warm-blooded animals in the garden.

But then, the next moment, the calico cat exploded in his arms.

Blom looked at the fragment of the Deception Orb in Su Nan's hand with some fear, and said, "My master, I have a feeling that this thing is a bit sinister."

Warwick, the old butler, stood there dumbfounded. He had now returned to human form. Although his clothes were disheveled due to the transformation, he was still relatively composed. Now, he could only take out a handkerchief from his pocket and begin to wipe the cat blood off his body. However, he soon discovered that the cat blood splattered on him had disappeared automatically.

Su Nan explained, "This is just a creature created using illusions, so it will disappear after 30 seconds. The process of disappearing is a bit scary, but considering that this is something from the energy world, not the wizarding world, it's easy to understand."

Warwick asked, "So, young master, have you decided how to use this?"

Su Nan thought for a moment, then channeled some life force into the creature, summoning a half-grown calf. He then looked at Vasilyan.

Vasilyan immediately understood Su Nan's meaning, conjured a black blade, and thrust it into the heart of the calf. Then, some black mist swirled around the black blade.

The mist originated from the calf's heart, then flowed along the black blade into Vasilian's hands, where his death magic began to return.

Vasilyan said, "Master, I can use these illusory creatures as sacrifices to restore my magic."

Blom and Warwick were somewhat surprised.

Oh, you can do that?

The power of that fragment of the precious orb is truly peculiar.

"I can use things like insects from the garden, or other low-level life forms, to create illusions. This is equivalent to using worthless low-level life forms to create illusions and convert them into the life force of higher-level life forms, essentially acting as a life level converter." Su Nan raised an eyebrow. "No wonder the Oak Wizard and the Blind Nun both took a liking to it. Now we've found its use."

"It's not just that it can be used as a sacrifice for the Black Knife. Many spells originally require sacrifices, such as the Ghost series of potions, which require a large number of soul fragments from corpses."

"In the future, I will be able to explore more uses for the Deception Orb fragments. After all, we can't tell a baby that this is all it can do, can we?"

The old butler, Warwick, said, "That's certainly true."

Su Nan looked at the Life Tree Sapling above the Magic Spring. He had no intention of moving the Life Tree Sapling, because it was the main energy source for this wizard tower.

The magic spring beneath the Tree of Life brimmed with an exaggerated amount of plant energy.

If the Oak Wizard had truly returned to this magic spring, he would have been no match for him.

Su Nan issued the order: "AI, record the energy characteristics of the Tree of Life and analyze it."

Yes, it is expected that the new Tree Guardian series of potions can be fully derived from the Tree of Life, and the expected upper and lower limits of the Tree Guardian series of potions will be increased, providing your troops with ranged magical heavy unit support.

Not only that, the Life Sapling itself is a very valuable raw material for potions.

For potion-wielding wizards, it is the most precious of treasures.

Unfortunately, probably due to the receding magical tide, this sapling of the Tree of Life barely grew, and it's unknown whether it will ever have the chance to grow again.

Su Nan led the werewolves to the third floor.

The third floor of the wizard tower was a small garden. Since the second floor was a magic spring, the small garden on the third floor could directly draw on the magical power below.

In this small garden, Su Nan saw half an acre of black soil farmland.

These black soil fields have been well cultivated, forming ridges and rows. Each ridge is carefully marked with a wooden plaque that records the name, classification, and simple description of the magical plant's function.

However, most of the magical plants had withered, and only six plants were still alive.

Su Nan quickly walked up to the magical plants and had the AI ​​record them. "Magic peas, once planted, will quickly take root and sprout, transforming into a vine ladder. In areas rich in magic and open spaces, they can grow up to two thousand meters tall."

"In areas with limited space, the size will be restricted, so it needs to be planted in relatively small areas, otherwise it will not produce the next generation of pods."

"Rainbow mushrooms can naturally gather the magic in the air and transform it into a rainbow. Be careful when picking them, otherwise you will be bombarded by high-density, high-energy rainbow beams and your body will automatically split open."

"Magic Pumpkin. The patented product of the Oak Wizard. After being harvested, it is hollowed out, filled with magic candles, and becomes a magic pumpkin lantern. The magic pumpkin lantern can automatically float in the air, light the way for the wizard, and has the function of breaking illusions."

"It's very powerful and can break the illusion of the Deceptive Orb Fragment."

"The petals of the Fairy Rose, when plucked and ground into powder, can be made into Fairy Dust, which increases the concentration of magic in the surrounding area."

"Eric's Root, a magical plant with only roots. Its roots can cure all poisons, and grafting Eric's Root onto the oak tree I created can enhance all of my oak tree's abilities."

Su Nan looked at the last plant, an oak tree that had grown to over twenty meters tall; it was quite large.

"Atlas Oak".

"The oak tree species discovered by the oak wizard in Atlas was gradually modified and cultivated using more than a dozen kinds of magic. It has a stronger vitality than ordinary oak trees and can survive tenaciously even in any region."

"It can absorb surrounding magical energy, create areas with high magical concentration, and increase the speed at which wizards learn meditation techniques."

"If it were transformed into an oak tree spirit, it would possess power surpassing that of an ordinary oak tree spirit."
