Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 114 Three Conditions to Become a Full-fledged Wizard

The plants in this oak wizard's private garden are either varieties that the oak wizard himself modified, or precious magical plants that he obtained from other places.

Unfortunately, Su Nan lacks complete information on oak tree wizards, and therefore cannot utilize plant magic to realize the value of these magical plants like oak tree wizards.

However, turning them into ingredients for your own potions is also a good option.

Su Nan returned to the second floor of the Wizard Tower, where the Life Sapling had been transformed into the core of the Wizard Tower and the Four Seasons Garden.

The moment Su Nan stepped into the Fountain of Life, he felt his spiritual and physical strength rapidly increasing. At the same time, he placed his palm above the sapling of life and covered it with his magic power.

Since the Oak Wizard's soul has died, the mark he left in the Tree of Life has disappeared, but the Tree of Life sapling and the entire garden are still filled with his magical power and the magical will he left in it.

Therefore, as long as Su Nan imprints his mark on this sapling of the Tree of Life, he can use its magic to control the entire garden.

Previously, the Oak Wizard's soul was hiding inside this sapling of the Tree of Life. Therefore, when Su Nan used his magic to control the sapling, he discovered that a virtual space could be opened inside the sapling.

This virtual space isn't big, about the size of a wardrobe, but it seems like it can hold some things.

At the same time, the Tree of Life sapling is interconnected with hundreds of basic spells that sustain the entire garden.

In this way, Su Nan can adjust the sun formed by the aerial garden of flame flowers in the sky above the garden at any time, adjust the upward wind that covers the entire garden, adjust the dandelion seeds that provide fuel for the flame flowers, and adjust the maze inside the entire garden.

At this moment, Su Nan was like a creator, his soul and vision looking down on the entire Four Seasons Garden through the sapling of the Tree of Life.

Observe whether there are other people in the maze.

Now he has control of the wizard's relics of this first-ring wizard, and has become the master of the relics.

"This Four Seasons Garden covers an area of ​​approximately 2000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of my city district in my previous life."

"I will try my best not to interfere with the garden's ecosystem, and I will maintain it for as long as possible. These plants can all be used as potion ingredients. There is also some spare black soil in the garden, which I can use to grow some materials that I want to grow using golems."

"The black soil here contains a large amount of magical energy and soul materials. As fertilizer, even if you just scatter a handful of seeds, the plants I want will grow vigorously."

"Unfortunately, only the maze walls can be accelerated by time. There are no time-accelerated areas in ordinary areas. This is probably because the Oak Wizard's time acceleration would affect the medicinal properties of magical plants."

"Inside the garden, there are also many ordinary magical plants, as well as ordinary plants that have been enlarged."

"These are also resources."

Su Nan began to plan how to make use of such a large subspace.

This could be considered his second territory, so he planned to have some reliable subordinates stationed here for a long time, turning it into his second base.

At that moment, Warwick came over and said, "Young master, this is a book we found in the library on the first floor. I think you might really need this book, even more than any other book, so I brought it to you."

Su Nan glanced at it and found that the book was very thin, less than ten pages, but the title alone made him feel excited—[The Distance Between a First-Class Apprentice and a Full-fledged Wizard].

Su Nan quickly opened the book and had the AI ​​record it. By verifying the logical chains between the contents of the book and cross-referencing the logical chains of other books in the collection, he could ensure the correctness of the contents of the book, or at least ensure that there were no other hidden meanings.

Su Nan quickly finished reading the book and had the AI ​​analyze it.

Su Nan said, "After reading this book, I know what to do next. Warwick, this is exactly what I need right now. Thank you."

Warwick shook his head and said, "Hello means we're all fine. It's just what I should do."

"I only played a very small supporting role."

The AI's response was to Southern Jiangsu.

[Most of the content in this book corroborates each other, therefore it can be assured that most of it is true. If so, the gap between a formal wizard and a first-class wizard is likely greater than the combined gap between the previous three levels of wizarding apprentices.]

[You were able to defeat the Oak Wizard only because you happened to be blocking his resurrection point, or rather, he shouldn't have led you into the ritual; it was a suicide mission.]

[It is speculated that the standard for a formal wizard is at least 100 points of mental strength and 100 points of magical power.]

[At the same time, formal wizards are required to master a certain number of spells of the same type. They must master at least five apprentice-level spells of 0.7 or higher and complete one spell of the lowest level as the core direction of their magical research.]

The third requirement for a first-class wizard apprentice to become a full-fledged wizard is to construct their own wizarding tower (one that conforms to the wizarding world's definition) and thereby obtain their own source of magic. This is similar to the magical wellspring of the Oak Wizard's Tree of Life.

Thus, formal wizards, when casting spells in the wizarding tower, can amplify their magic using the magic source, achieving an effect similar to a battleship bombarding the enemy. This is a completely different combat style from that of wizarding apprentices; compared to this, battles between wizarding apprentices are more like...playing house.

[But the fact that orthodox wizards amplify their magic to conduct large-scale, high-intensity bombardments... suggests that warfare within the orthodox wizarding world must be quite common; otherwise, they wouldn't be developing in this direction.]

Su Nan raised an eyebrow, truly astonishing!

The AI ​​was right. Compared to the style of formal wizard combat that the AI ​​had deduced, the magical combat he was currently engaged in was as ridiculous as child's play.

Looking back now, it seems that I was really... too lucky to have defeated the Oak Wizard.

If I had hesitated even slightly and agreed to the Oak Wizard's strategy of stalling for time, even if it was only for half an hour, I would probably have faced only death.

The minimum mental strength requirement for a formal wizard is also surprisingly high, at 100.

The minimum mental strength standard for a first-class wizard apprentice is only 20.

However, he had already researched the recipe for a +4 Mental Strength Enhancement potion, and with the bodies of some warlocks, plus the +3 Mental Strength Enhancement special edition potion he had previously refined and stored, he could quickly boost his mental strength.

In addition, the AI ​​seems to have found other ways to enhance mental power.

Yes. Using the abundant magical plant species within the Four Seasons Garden, and the core principles of the Oak Wizard's magical path, the formula for the second series of potions to enhance mental power has been deduced.

This potion also needs to be taken once a day.

[The principle behind this potion differs from that of the Spirit Enhancement series of potions, which directly enhance your spirit power. Instead, it adopts the Oak Wizard's philosophy of "life shifting towards the next life at the ecological niche level," converting your life essence into spirit power and permanently increasing your maximum spirit power each time.]

Therefore, this potion consists of two parts: a potion base that increases life essence, and a potion sub-component that converts life force into spiritual power.

Su Nan nodded and named the potion "Life Essence Concentration Potion".

Su Nan suddenly asked himself, "If I separate the base and the secondary components of this potion into two different potions, will it produce the effect I'm thinking of?"

Yes. This would create an alternative attack potion that converts the opponent's life essence into spiritual power, and a purely restorative potion that increases life essence.

After thinking for a moment, Su Nan named the two potions Life Essence Growth Potion and Mental Self-Destruction Potion, respectively.
