Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 212 I just happen to have a Flash Potion

"Justice" and the Petrifying Witch asked Su Nan how many magic stones he wanted for this Life Essence potion, or what resources he would need to exchange for it.

Su Nan's top priority is definitely resources related to becoming a formal wizard. "I want to exchange information and resources related to breaking through mental limits."

"Secondly, the Philosopher's Stone."

The magic stone is a common commodity and quite useful, with a wide range of functions.

In fact, he had used three Philosopher's Stones in conjunction with the Aether Stone to enhance the three-headed mutated werewolf messenger during his previous battle with Vanessa Van Helsing, the vampire queen.

The key issue is that there are no magic stone mines in the underground world. This is likely because the black hole creatures have gathered all the magical energy from the underground world into the main city of Rye, thus upgrading the low-magic environment to a medium-magic environment.

Indeed, it is true that magic stone mines cannot form in other parts of the Rye Underground Domain.

Therefore, magic stone mines can only be found in the surface world.

Su Nan suspected that the Forsaken might occupy some magic stone mines because they used magic stones as a common currency among wizards, which is why the independent wizards on this land used magic stones as currency.

The petrifying witch pondered for a moment and said, "I have a magic array that can increase the success rate of breaking through the mental limit by 10%, called the [Inverted Pentagram Soul Binding Array]. When a wizard is in this array, he can bind his soul with soul chains, increase the solidity of the soul, and reduce the leakage of mental energy when breaking through the mental limit."

"It can also provide some protection for the soul."

"Of course, every good thing has its bad side. The witch Camilla was able to forcibly break through her mental limits without her mental energy leaking out, and thus never reached the critical point, precisely because of this magic circle."

"But because her soul was burdened with too much, it spontaneously combusted and she died less than five seconds after the breakthrough."

"However, as long as you don't push yourself and give up on breaking through your mental limits in time when you realize that you will fail, there won't be any problem."

"I'd like to exchange this magic circle information for six bottles of that kind of potion, is that alright?"

Su Nan nodded. "Okay."

The main ingredients of the Life Essence potion are magical plants cultivated in the labyrinth by the Oak Wizard of the Four Seasons Garden.

Although it's not that much, I don't need it for the time being.

He has hundreds of bottles of this base potion, the Essence of Life and Mind-Concentrating Potion, which he uses every day.

However, the petrifying witch didn't lose out either.

Because the recipe for this potion was entirely developed by himself, and no one else knew how to make it.

Therefore, she can only make a deal with herself.

This high-value potion can be exchanged for magical resources that are disproportionate to its cost.

Su Nan immediately completed the transaction with the petrifying witch, and then checked the [Inverted Pentagram Soul Binding Array] in his mind to confirm that there were no problems.

Meanwhile, "Justice," after some thought, said to Su Nan, "I have some information about the [Twin Wizard Tower Breakthrough Method] that I discovered during my explorations in the past. However, in this era, magical resources are extremely scarce..."

"This kind of information isn't very valuable. I wonder if you'd be willing to exchange it."

Su Nan said, "'Justice,' please explain what the Twin Wizard Tower Breakthrough Method is."

Justice was somewhat apprehensive, as her recent extravagance had left her magic stone reserves quite low. "So, I mean, use two wizard towers to break through?"

"This information was used by wizard apprentices who came from good families or had exceptional talent and abundant magical resources back when magical resources were plentiful."

Su Nan nodded. Although magical resources are scarce now, the number of wizard apprentices is also correspondingly small.

If I were more than two thousand years ago, I wouldn't have had the chance to hunt for so many resources, such as the Four Seasons Garden and the Rye Underground Domain.

"I agree to the exchange. In addition to the bottle you just had, I'll give you four more bottles of Life Essence Potion in exchange for the information you have."

Fearing that Su Nan might change her mind, "Justice" immediately gave Su Nan the information on how to break through the Twin Wizard Towers. In return, Su Nan gave her four bottles of Life Essence Potions.

In this way, Su Nan obtained two methods to break through to become a formal wizard through outdated potions.

Whether it's the Soul Binding Array or the Twin Wizard Tower Breakthrough Method, setting them up doesn't require too many magical resources; you can quickly gather the necessary resources and set them up yourself.

With the addition of his Ancestral Essence Concentration Potion, the Azure Elixir, and the second and third Wizard Towers he is about to complete, he still cannot break through to become a formal wizard!

All that remains is to complete the construction of the first stage of Potions magic.

While they were making their transaction, Su Nan began to examine the Twin Wizard Towers Breakthrough Method. This method was based on a theoretical foundation—a wizard leaves his soul essence within a wizard tower, and even if the person is not in that tower, their soul can still be imbued with a specific kind of magic, helping them break through their mental limits.

Therefore, it becomes possible to break through using two or even more wizard towers simultaneously.

This can be achieved by making certain changes to the specific spiritual connection with the Wizard's Tower.

Su Nan secretly instructed the AI ​​to use this data to deduce a method that was conceived in the data but not yet implemented: using two or more wizard towers to help wizards break through their mental limits.

At the same time, the AI ​​also informed Su Nan that: "The calculations for the +6 Mental Strength Enhancement potion and the +2 Life Essence Concentration potion are complete. The recipe for the +1 Flash Potion is also complete."

[It is estimated that using these three potions when you break through your mental limits will increase your success rate by at least 80%.]

Su Nan nodded slightly, "That's good enough."

There's no need to make a breakthrough a life-or-death situation. As long as you're well-prepared, advancing will be as easy as water flowing into a channel.

However, because the current concentration of magical energy is not yet high enough to support a first-ring wizard, breakthroughs are more complicated in this land.

Therefore, it is not an overreaction to do more preparation.

You should know that, of all the witches I've met and know who wanted to become official wizards, there were three, and all of them failed.

The Rye Mistress, a friend of Vanessa the Vampire and the Petrifying Witch, and the witch of the Alchemy School.

Su Nan mentally issued commands to the AI: "Pre-research potion to enhance mental strength +7, potion to concentrate life essence +3, potion to enhance brilliance +2."

At the same time, 'The World' felt it was time to make her presence known.

She took out five bottles of Glimmering Potion, full of confidence, and said, "These are the five bottles of Glimmering Potion I have left over from recently. You're in luck; you have one more than usual. Alright, let the bidding begin."

Immediately, all the wizards except Su Nan turned their attention to the 'World'.

At that moment, Su Nan spoke up leisurely. He wasn't deliberately competing with "The World." In fact, he could have waited until "The World" sold out before taking out the Flash Potion.

But there's a problem.

During the gathering, each wizard carries a limited amount of magical resources, not an unlimited amount.

If the 'world' sells out of the Glimmer Potion, then even if my own Glimmer Potion is highly effective, its selling price will be affected.

The initial selling price will determine the subsequent selling prices.

Moreover, as long as he sells some Flash Potions, he will infuriate the 'World' to the point of being half-dead, with absolutely no chance of appeasing her.

Therefore, Su Nan disregarded her feelings and attitude and directly put it up for sale. "Please wait a moment, everyone."

"I happen to have one here that works similarly to the Glow Potion, but its overall effects are better than the Glow Potion."

"I call it Flash Potion."

"Still, 'Justice,' why don't you take it in public and tell everyone how effective this luminous potion is? Since you've already drunk many bottles of luminous potions, you can definitely tell the difference between the two."

The wizards all looked at Su Nan, and at the shimmering potion in his hand that was flashing with golden and blue light.

This Glitter Potion looks much better than the Glimmer Potion, which only shimmers with a faint white light.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, 'World' exclaimed loudly, 'Are you kidding me? You bought a Glimmering Potion from me for five magic stones last time!'

"If you had something this good all along, why would you have bought my Glimmer Potion?"

"Moon, what kind of joke are you playing here?"

"It's fake, it's fake, it must be fake!"
