Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 246 Eager to Find Their Place in the 'World'

Next, Storm Gathering commenced, marking the first transaction since the reorganization.

Since the transactions are currently all between wizard apprentices, Su Nan has remained largely silent throughout all three phases.

However, he did sell 20 bottles of Flash Potion to the group, and with 2 bottles of Flash Potion and 1 potion, he obtained a total of 500 magic stones.

Justice, Priestess, Chariot, World, Hermit, and others shared 20 bottles of Flash Potion. This potion was enough to help them quickly increase their mental power to 100, even making their mental power purer than what they could condense through meditation.

It's fair to say that the shimmering potion from Su Nan is currently the most attractive thing to them at this gathering.

With the Flash Potion, even the old wizard "Chariot" felt that his mental strength, which had been stuck at [60] for a long time, could be improved again.

Not to mention the other ordinary first-class wizard apprentices.

They felt that the resources they could access at the gathering... even exceeded the magical resources they could obtain within their own factions.

Therefore, these people will undoubtedly attach greater importance to the Storm Wizards' Gathering.

The Petrifying Witch and Elvis each purchased some +1 Flash Potions from Sunan.

The Flash Potion, although it's only a four-stage Ascension potion, still has a slight effect on a fully-fledged wizard.

Although not many.

Therefore, the two of them didn't buy much; they each bought one bottle, each costing 50 magic stones.

However, Su Nan wasn't too concerned about this, because the recipes for the three potions—the Flash +2 potion, the Mental Enhancement +7 potion, and the Life Essence Concentration +3 potion—had already been calculated by the AI.

Therefore, he will soon be able to upgrade his potions to make them more effective for professional wizards.

Then, after a while, they'll be able to harvest the petrified witch and Elvis again.

This gathering of wizards is, in essence, most advantageous to Su Nan.

Because Su Nan has the production capacity, he needs to find distribution channels. The entire Storm Gathering can easily become Su Nan's own dumping ground because of his status as a Grand Apothecary, and then he can use a large number of magic stones to buy back the precious magical resources.

Therefore, for southern Jiangsu, the larger the gathering, the better.

After the transaction was completed, everyone was very satisfied with their gains for the day.

The priestess spoke up, "Our gatherings are getting better and better. I have a friend who's a half-step formal wizard; perhaps I can bring him in too."

Everyone looked at the 'priestess' in surprise.

People didn't know how to put it, but they just felt that the "priestess," as a first-class wizard apprentice with only 50 points of spiritual power, really had a lot of friends.

Although that electric ring witch last time was really troublesome.

He wanted to trick her, but ended up being tricked by the person she introduced him to, turning himself into a ball of lightning.

Moreover, the 'Priestess' usually has access to a considerable amount of magical resources, so I really don't know what her identity is in reality.

As the leader of the Wizarding Gathering, Su Nan calmly stated, "The Storm Gathering welcomes all friends who wish to make trades."

Anyway, the Storm Gathering already has many casual attendees in addition to regulars.

The old wizard, 'Chariot,' chuckled and said, 'Then I can recommend some wizards who come to me for appraisal of magical items. Some of them are even first-ring wizards.'

"After all, an old man like me who is good at general magic and the history of magic is best at serving and assisting those truly talented wizards who can lead the times."

The old wizard, 'Chariot,' revealed his identity.

Su Nan nodded to him, his words both demonstrating his own role and acknowledging that he was a wizard of the Generalist School.

Wizards of the generalist school are basically historians of magic.

They don't need to have a deep understanding of a particular magical path; they only need to be able to comment on and summarize it. So even if they don't reach the level of a first-class wizard, they will still be valuable to formal wizards.

As 'World' watched everyone talk, she realized she was being marginalized, and she felt a little anxious.

In fact, her situation was inevitable.

Because Storm Gathering is a distribution platform, its current scale is limited, and the total value of magical items it can sell is finite.

Su Nan is currently the largest initiator of the potion trade.

The 'world,' originally the apothecary of the gathering, was the most affected, and her niche within the gathering also faced serious conflicts.

She must find her new value.

Otherwise, she would become just another marginalized person at this gathering, like the other casual attendees.

Although 'World' was racking her brains about how she should conduct herself at this gathering, she still didn't have any good ideas for the time being.

Moreover, because she used to be arrogant at this gathering, always mocking others because she was the only pharmacist, she didn't have any good friends there. Now, her current situation is something everyone is somewhat happy to see.

'World' looked at the old wizard 'Chariot', the only one in the gathering with whom she had a good relationship.

Although she had mocked the old wizard "Chariot," "Chariot" never cared about "The World's" taunts, even treating them as childish whims. So, after a while, "The World" stopped mocking "Chariot," and the two actually got along quite well.

"World" whispered to "Chariot," "What will I do in this gathering from now on? Now that Mr. Moon is the apothecary, will I become an outsider?"

"The quality of this gathering is so high, and I also want to get to know Mr. 'Moon' better. After all, he is an idol to us herbalists."

'Chariot' smiled. Actually, he didn't like 'World' at first either, but he was too old to lose his temper with such a young man.

But after a while, their relationship became quite good.

"Chariot" whispered to "World," "In my opinion, Mr. Moon's existence is actually an opportunity for you to break through."

"The 'Moon' world sells high-grade potions. You could sell Mr. 'Moon' some materials that need processing for making potions."

"Moreover, the gatherings will get bigger and bigger in the future, and more people will participate. Take this opportunity to learn more from Mr. 'Moon,' even if you only learn a little bit, you'll never lack a way to make a living in the future."

"'World,' you need to broaden your horizons. The immediate gains are nothing compared to the greater benefits in the future. In my opinion, you should muster up your courage now and ask 'Moon' what potion ingredients he needs, and what you can do to help him."

"Even if you work for 'The Moon' for free, it will benefit you greatly!"

The Witch of the World thought about it and realized it was true. The Moon's potion-making skills were probably even better than those of the herbalist archmage of her Forsaken School. If she could learn a few tricks from the Moon, even if it was just working for free, she would still be making a profit.

The Witch of the World, abandoning her previous arrogant and sarcastic nature, suddenly spoke to Su Nan when everyone was quiet: "Moon, do you need a large quantity of materials that require highly magical processing? Perhaps I can make these materials for you, as long as you can pay me some magic stones."

"What else can I do for you? I can do it for you. Even for free."

"World" said somewhat nervously.

Su Nan glanced at the 'World' witch in surprise, not expecting that this girl would suddenly change her mind and listen to advice.

Su Nan thought about it and realized that it was indeed good to have someone who could prepare some magical materials for him. "I need fox pelts that have been soaked in fire magic. There are three steps involved in the process, and I will use my magic to teleport them directly into your brain."

"If you can produce them, I'll buy as many as you have in the future."

"I'll pay you the price of a Flash Potion. Give me thirty fox pelts like these, and I'll give you a Flash Potion. How about it? Can you make it?"

This is the main material for crafting Fire Demon's Wrath.

Wizard's Hand and Arcane Mistress can't make these special fox pelts on Sundays for the time being; only Rye Matriarch can produce two of these pelts per day.

If it were made by the people of southern Jiangsu themselves, they could produce dozens of sheets a day, but most of their time would be wasted on it.

Moreover, the repetitive and tedious operations made Su Nan feel very bored.

However, this is, after all, a core ingredient of the first-circle spell "Fire Demon's Wrath Potion" in the Evocation school's fire magic sub-direction, so processing it is definitely quite complicated.

However, Su Nan also needs to store a large amount of Fire Demon's Fury potion so that when encountering enemies, the gargoyles can launch it from the air.

This is something that even an ordinary first-ring wizard cannot do.

After all, the number of spells a regular first-level wizard can cast is limited, unless the wizard also makes scrolls and other similar jobs.

However, wizards who make scroll-type magical items on the side often have limited combat abilities.

Su Nan, on the other hand, has a wolf pack, decent combat strength, and can also produce and store large quantities of offensive consumable potions, which can be used as consumables in battle.

Su Nan now refers to the magic potion—the sacrificial stone golem—and related war technologies as magic energy technology. For example, the blueprints that the AI ​​has calculated and given to Solon, ordering him to lead the craftsmen to manufacture the magic potion cannon, are the cutting-edge products of magic energy technology.

Su Nan felt that he was leading the Wizarding World astray.

Su Nan even wanted to design wind magic based on the core of the Cold Wind (gargoyles have been using this type of wind magic to assist in flight) for these potion cannons, so that the potion cannons could float in mid-air and, through a mental connection with Mario and Alexander, become floating potion matrix cannons that could float in the air.

As a core member of the wizarding civilization—a first-ring wizard—he felt that his idea was in line with what a first-ring wizard was supposed to do.

The "World" witch looked at the fox fur that Su Nan had asked her to make. After thinking for a moment, she realized that she could still make it if she found three or four fellow practitioners from her school to work together.

Moreover, it is estimated that 2-3 sheets can be made per day.

After all, the Herbalists have specialized courses on how to process magical materials, giving them an advantage over wizards from other schools in this regard.

She can still make money by sharing the shimmering potions she trades with Su Nan with some friends in her school.

Moreover, the method of processing fox fur that Su Nan gave her, which utilized the spiritual properties of the fox fur, opened her eyes and benefited her, giving her a lot of new inspiration for preparing herbal medicines.

She bowed gratefully to Su Nan and said, "'Moon,' I can do it."

She gave the old wizard "Chariot" another grateful look.

Su Nan nodded, surprised that "World" was a promising talent, quite capable of recognizing his own position.

A bottle of Glitter Potion costs 20 magic stones at this gathering.

If he did, it would be equivalent to using 0.6 magic stones to acquire a highly magically treated fox pelt, which would actually be a profit for him.

Using only one bottle of the Shining Potion, which I can easily make now, I can have Sunday, Songzhong, and Rye make a semi-finished product first, and then I can do the final step myself. On the contrary, processing the fox fur would waste a lot of my time.

Moreover, it's estimated that it's impossible for 'World' to process so many fox pelts quickly by herself, so she either has to make them slowly or invite wizard apprentices from her classmates to make them together.

This means that I have acquired several herbalist wizard apprentices at a relatively low price.

This is the benefit of mastering high-value magical resources.

Su Nan said to everyone, "This gathering will end here for now."

"Goodbye, Elvis, Petrifying Witch."

Su Nan looked at "Justice" and said, "I will wait for you on Corfu Island in the Storm Kingdom. You should be on Corfu Island now."

"I will come to the city of Corfu to find you. You can wait for me there."

Corfu is only 593 square kilometers, the size of a district in a coastal city in my previous life.

Corfu is famous for its olive oil and figs. The entire island is like a white sand beach with craggy rocks, making it very beautiful. It is also the most important port and maritime market center in the western part of the Storm Kingdom.

The Platinum Commercial Republic desperately wanted the island as their maritime gateway, to protect their artificial archipelago homeland and the waters they inhabited.

The sea area where the Platinum Commercial Republic is located is shaped like a wooden barrel, with land on three sides and an outlet to the sea on only one side. Corfu Island is located right in the middle of this outlet.

The "Justice" witch dared not say anything more. The most important thing was that Su Nan was willing to accompany her to the town of the dead, even if it meant waiting for her on Corfu Island for a month.

As the wizards left the gathering, Su Nan finally asked the Petrifying Witch to build an entrance to the gathering on Peter's territory. After the Petrifying Witch agreed, Su Nan also left the gathering space.

The petrifying witch looked at the empty gathering space under the storm and suddenly took a deep breath. "Meeting Sunan Peter was truly my luck."

"From now on, this Storm Wizard Gathering will only get better and better."

"It is a blessing to have such a gathering in such a barren and enemy-ridden era."

After leaving the gathering, Sunan immediately led the Death Knights back to Dolphin Harbor by carriage, and then took a boat back to Baron Peter's territory.

Over the next six months, soldiers and residents of this Dolphin Harbor will continuously leave this land by boat, either returning to their ancestral homes or heading to the lands of other Storm Lords.

The Earldom of Samori would then be completely returned to the hands of the Church of the Law.
