Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 145 Two Methods to Increase the Speed ​​of Spiritual Power

In the castle attic, Su Nan looked at the crucible in front of him. It was a pot of Life Essence Concentration Elixir, which had been successfully refined.

Next, Su Nan put the aether stone he had obtained from the underworld into it.

In just a moment, the ether stone seemed to melt into the flames, just as ice and snow meet fire.

A peculiar energy was released from the ether ore; this magical energy was one that Su Nan had never encountered on the surface of the earth.

Su Nan poured the potion containing ether ore into a glass bottle and drank it all in one gulp. Instantly, he gained a large amount of life essence, every cell felt incredibly comfortable, and every cell was filled with an excess of life energy. This life energy then transformed into Su Nan's maximum mental strength.

Your maximum mental strength has increased by 1. Your current mental strength is 61.02.

Su Nan raised an eyebrow and looked at the two remaining aether stones. These stones could actually enhance the effects of the potions he was making.

It must be the effect of a special magical element that only exists in the underground world.

This element should be called the ether element.

An element called ether exists independently of the four elements: earth, water, fire, and wind.

This element can not only change the shape of objects and creatures, but also enhance the effects of its two spirit-boosting potions.

Su Nan said, "There are two more."

"Each of them can also increase my mental strength by 2 points."

"But since a lizardman leader in the underworld can wield five aether stones, it means that there are a large number of aether ore veins in the underworld. Although aether stones are not abundant, they are not very rare either."

"It seems I must try to enter the underground world, where I can find the natural ore of the fifth element I need: ether."

Su Nan used the second piece of ether stone as raw material to quickly concoct a potion that would enhance mental strength by +4. He then drank it and his mental strength increased by another point.

His mental strength is now 62.02.

At the same time, Su Nan looked down at the castle ground beneath his feet. Because there were now more than a hundred sacrificial stone golems, the castle and the golems complemented each other, and his own castle was also affected by the feedback from so many sacrificial stone golems.

Now, the castle is gradually beginning to show some signs of life.

Meanwhile, Su Nan discovered that the stone-sacrificing magic absorbs fragments of souls scattered in the air, filling the golem's interior and giving it life and a soul.

This led to Peterhof Castle gradually developing the ability to automatically gather fragments of souls scattered in the air.

The rate at which he absorbs soul fragments is increasing as he builds more golems.

As a result, Peterhof Castle has become a kind of "spiritual rebirth site".

Practicing meditation on this spiritually rich land will be much faster, and learning meditation can also increase mental strength. Therefore, this is the second method in Su Nan to increase the speed of mental strength growth.

If this continues, the spiritual energy gathered at Peterhof Castle will increase, making the spiritual energy here increasingly heavy.

This was an unexpected gain for southern Jiangsu.

As the number and quality of his golems increase, it's unknown what Peter Castle will become.

This can be considered a magical transformation of Peterhof Castle that I unintentionally completed.

Sunan walked down from the castle to the third floor, where Vasilian lived. He entered Vasilian's room, and Vasilian broke free from his meditation.

To Su Nan's surprise, the Death Knight Vasilyan had a great talent for meditation. He had already mastered the Whisper of the Dead meditation technique in the past few days. At the same time, the [Spiritual Land] also accelerated his meditation training.

Su Nan scanned Vasilian and found that his mental strength and magical power had reached a level of 20.5. The extra 0.5 mental strength was the result of his own cultivation.

Sunan asked Vasilyan, "It seems you are well-suited to learning the meditation technique of the Words of the Dead. Drink this potion."

Vasilyan took the potion that Sunan threw to him and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Nan said, "This is 'The Ghost Scholar's Enchanting Potion,' which can give you the ability to summon a ghost scholar from the corpse killed by the Black Knife."

"The Ghost Scholar doesn't have many abilities, but when a Ghost Scholar passes through someone's body, they can freeze that person into an ice block, and the Ghost Scholar will disappear at the same time."

"This is the final piece of the Death Trinity Summoning Skills puzzle."

In this way, Vasilyan can summon ghosts, skeletons, and ghouls from the bodies of enemies killed by the Black Blade.

At the same time, this is a combination of skills that was designed in advance.

When a Death Knight possesses all three additional abilities, the three spells will combine to form a conjugate spell combination.

At the same time, the number of summons for these three necromancy spells is increased, so that when Vasilyan uses the Command of the Skeleton Centurion, he can summon four skeleton warriors from a corpse; when he uses the Conjuring of the Ghost Scholar, he can summon two ghost scholars from a corpse; and when he uses the Proof of the Ghoul, he can convert two ghouls at once.

Vasilyan said to Sunan, "Thank you for bestowing upon me new power, my master."

Su Nan nodded. "Come with me to the dungeon. I want to interrogate those monsters of the underworld myself."

……

Inside the dungeon, the monster army of the underworld, who were already used to being both prisoners and prisoners, had all entered a state of stagnation.

They were as aggressive when they were attacking the earth as they are now giving up.

After all, in the underworld, it was common for defeated armies to be sold as slaves.

Sometimes they are used as gladiators in the arena, sometimes they become soldiers again, and sometimes they become slave laborers in the mines.

Inside the cell, as Sunan led Vasilyan in, the gray dwarves, lizardmen, minotaurs, and goblins all looked over and stared at Vasilyan in horror.

Su Nan walked up to the lizardman general's cell and asked the general, who was chained to the wall, "Alright, we've finally met."

"Well then, I have a few questions for you."

The lizardman general's pupils shrank instantly. He could tell from Su Nan's tone that the arcane mage who had spoken to him earlier was likely the boy in front of him.

It turns out that he had never even met Su Nan directly before.

However, the lizardman general quickly realized that, well, how could a creature of his level have met an arcane mage directly before?

"Great arcanist, please speak..." The lizardman general offered no resistance, nor any reason to resist. The underworld practiced slavery, and although obtaining an army was simple, slaves had no loyalty or honor whatsoever.

Now that he has been captured by Su Nan, the lizardman general has no need to keep any secrets.

Su Nan asked, "Describe what the underworld is like. How many wizards do you have? Do you have a country and a religion?"

The lizardman general shook his head. "Great arcanist. We have no nation, no government; the underworld consists of only slave-owning capital cities. We have no religion either; we obey only the matriarch of each capital city."

"As for wizards..."

A chilling fear flashed in the lizardman general's eyes. "Great arcanist, why do you mention those doomsday messengers, the sources of destruction—the most evil wizards in the world?"

Su Nan raised her eyebrows in confusion.

Arcane mages are clearly descended from wizards.

The fact that this lizardman is so afraid of wizards suggests that something must have happened in the underworld that those wizards couldn't control back then.
