Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 357 Kivu Tree Viper and the Waterside Moss Marsh

Su Nan began, "I want to ask everyone if you know of any areas where a large amount of death energy is concentrated, at least at the second ring level. Also, do you know of any places where powerful second ring creatures reside?"

These two items are precisely the main ingredients for the second-level Death Knight and the second-level Sunmark potion. I hadn't collected them before, which is why I hadn't been able to upgrade the Death Knight and the Swarm to the second level.

Upon hearing Su Nan's words, everyone began to smile wryly.

Among the questions raised by Su Nan, powerful biological gathering places and powerful undead lands are not difficult to find, but the problem is that Su Nan requires the second ring road.

This is different.

This one request, however, made the first-ring wizard, who was about to respond immediately upon hearing Su Nan's request, voluntarily shut his mouth.

Su Nan was initially disappointed by their silence and was about to end the conversation when the Rubber Witch suddenly thought for a moment and said to Su Nan, "Second Ring Wizard."

"I think I should know a location that perfectly meets all your requirements."

Su Nan handed her a bottle of Flash +2 potion.

The Rubber Witch was overjoyed and said with a smile, "My lord, I have heard that there are many swamps in Asia Minor. One of them, called the Mossy Marsh, was once the capital of a country called the Assyrian Empire. That dark magic empire was once protected by a second-circle wizard of the Earth School."

"Later, the wizard died, and the place where he died turned into a mossy swamp. The capital of the Assyrian Empire also sank into the swamp and disappeared without a trace."

The old wizard, puzzled, asked, "The Rubber Witch? Isn't that just a rumor?"

The Rubber Witch became serious. "No. According to my recent investigation in that area, it might not actually be just a rumor."

"On the outskirts of the Mossy Marsh, I discovered a large number of flying flies as big as carriages, as well as many enlarged parasites. The entire Mossy Marsh is now filled with a terrible and evil magic."

"That's a cursed place."

"In that place, there are many creatures that died in the swamp and became undead, as well as many living creatures."

The Rubber Witch's face showed fear as she turned to look at Su Nan. "Second-Ring Wizard, I once led a group there, but our school suffered heavy casualties. However, we ventured slightly into the Mossy Marsh and discovered many ancient tomb structures floating in the swamp."

"A force has permanently altered that place and awakened the evil that had been lurking there for millennia."

Cavendish said, "Is it that terrible? That region is Nicomedia territory, isn't it?"

Su Nan commented, "The appearance of the Dark Force magic tide will awaken many evils that were originally hidden in this land."

"I know that."

His own werewolf and vampire clan was also blessed by the dark primal force magic tide.

The Rubber Witch bowed slightly to Su Nan. "I even saw a Kivu viper inside the Mossy Swamp by the Water."

Su Nan had seen illustrations of the Kivu tree viper in the Golden Wizard's collection of books; it was a snake that looked extremely dangerous. An adult Kivu tree viper was generally as large as an adult human.

But the most terrifying thing about the Kivu tree viper is its venom.

The Kivu tree viper is a bicyclic organism, and there is no antidote for its venom.

Su Nan looked thoughtful and glanced at his Arcane Intuition Ring.

The Rubber Witch had no reason to deceive herself; if that were the case, then it was absolutely necessary to make a trip to that swamp in Asia Minor.

The Rubber Witch tentatively asked, "If the Second Ring Wizard needs guidance, I am willing to lead the way for you."

Su Nan nodded. "Okay."

If I'm not mistaken, the Rubber Witch's wizarding organization should be located in this area.

Although the Rubber Witch's strength was far inferior to his own, she was, after all, a local strongman. With her guidance and assistance, things would be much easier for him.

Su Nan said to her, "Afterwards, I will give you a bottle of Flash +2 potion as a reward."

The rubber witch smiled broadly and clasped her hands together. "Thank you, thank you."

"I'll be waiting for you at an Oaxaca tavern in the swamp city of Miletus."

Su Nan glanced at her. The Rubber Witch was different from the "Justice" Witch; she was more unconventional. When they weren't very familiar with each other at first, she was somewhat aloof, but now her personality was very lively and energetic.

Su Nan glanced at everyone and, finding they had nothing to add, ended the conversation.

Su Nan waited a while until the first-ring wizards and wizard apprentices had finished their transactions, then he announced the start of the third phase.

In the third phase, Su Nan casually sold 121 bottles of Flash Potion and Flash +1 Potion, and obtained 5000 magic stones.

Now, including the magic stones he used in battles and experiments, Su Nan has a total of 8,500 magic stones.

This magic stone has many uses, and thus can serve as a common currency among wizards.

After another round of transactions was completed, Su Nan saw the 'world,' 'chariot,' and 'priestess' walking alone towards themselves and raised their eyebrows.

Su Nan asked, "Is it for the Azure Potion?"

The old wizard "Chariot" was the oldest and most emotionally intelligent among them. He gave Su Nan a barely perceptible bow to show his respect for the second-ring wizard, and then said, "Lord 'Moon', the three of us have reached the limit of first-class wizard apprentices."

"So I wanted to ask you to purchase a Blue Potion."

Su Nan nodded slightly, then used a niche conversion spell to summon an ordinary werewolf, and then gave them three bottles of Azure Potion.

"This is a benefit of the gathering. Everyone only has one chance."

"I'll sell it to you for fifty magic stones."

This price is definitely not expensive, it's even quite cheap.

This is a potion that can help them break through to the first-ring wizard level.

The old wizard, 'Chariot,' looked eager. He quickly paid the fifty magic stones he had saved up and accepted the Azure Potion from Su Nan.

He stared at the azure potion, his eyes filled with a dazed look.

"Lord 'Moon', with such benefits, we'd be willing to join your wizarding organization."

The priestess nodded and said, "Yes, yes. Following the Moon is definitely worth it."

The "World" witch hesitated for a moment, then asked Su Nan, "Teacher 'Moon,' may I ask you if I can learn from you...?"

Although everyone is a member of the assembly, the gap between them has widened, and 'the world' even wants to learn from Sunan.

Su Nan looked at her with surprise. "I remember the price of betraying a wizarding organization was severe, wasn't it? 'World,' how do you plan to handle your relationship with the wizarding organization you were previously part of?"

'World' paused for a moment, then awkwardly remembered that she herself was an apprentice in a wizarding organization, so how could she possibly take an outside wizard as her teacher?

Although, if Su Nan, as a second-ring wizard, were determined to take her in, he would definitely succeed.

But why would Su Nan, a second-ring wizard, do this?

She's not exceptionally talented.

Su Nan said to the three of them, "To be honest, I did recently conquer a plane and even built a wizarding academy there. It's just that we're a bit short-handed lately, lacking teachers."

"Therefore, I do welcome free agents to join my Potions Wizarding Academy."

Su Nan looked at the assembled crowd and said, "However, if you join my Potions Wizarding Academy, you must pledge your complete loyalty to me and leave your previous wizarding organization. After all, that's my private dimension, you all understand, right? So everything is entirely up to you."

The wizards at the Storm Gathering all understood Su Nan's situation. After all, a completely conquered plane was right beside them. How could they possibly allow wizards who weren't completely loyal to Su Nan's wizarding organization to enter?

However, all the first-ring wizards present had families and jobs, except for Cavendish, who seemed somewhat interested.

Also, Angie the Witch of Path of Exile, she had made quite a few deals at the Gathering Hall and reaped considerable rewards.

The witch Angie is now all alone, so when Su Nan said that, he could clearly see that she was thinking.

'World' sighed. She was a member of a herbalist wizarding organization. How could she possibly leave the wizarding organization?

If she wants to leave the wizarding organization she belongs to, she would have to repay at least several times the resources she obtained from that organization before they would even let her go.

Su Nan said to everyone, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry for now. This is a long-term invitation. If you all have nowhere to go in the future, you can join my Potions Academy and the Werewolf Empire."

"I warmly welcome you, as friends."

The Lightning Wizard chuckled, "Indeed, this gives us a way out. An invitation from a second-circle wizard certainly carries great weight."

Even the wizards from the two Sons of Flame schools found Su Nan's proposal very appealing.

After all, Su Nan could produce so many shimmering potions even when trading at the market. If you joined his wizarding organization, who knows what kind of resources they would receive every day.

Upon thinking of this, the two first-ring wizards of the Sons of Flame felt that their current wizarding organization was like a shackle, restricting them.

Then, another round of transactions took place.

The Lightning Wizard produced a dead dragon egg. "This is magical resource our school had accumulated, but unexpectedly, the dragon didn't hatch, and the egg became a dead egg, so we're selling it. Everyone, take a look and buy it at a low price."

The Rubber Witch crossed her arms and commented, "The requirements for hatching dragon eggs are very high. Besides, the previous low-magic and magic-free environment wouldn't have been able to hatch a dragon egg. Your dragon egg will definitely spoil."

The witch Angie hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "But I sense that this dragon egg still contains a dragon's spirit. It's just that the spirit has been corrupted, and apart from necromancers, no wizard can use it anymore."

Everyone looked at Su Nan.

Su Nan wiped his nose, looked at the grinning lightning wizard, and said, "Alright, it's mine. Three hundred magic stones, is that okay?"

"Even though it's a dragon egg, it's a dead egg."

The Lightning Wizard laughed, "Alright, alright. Deal complete."

And so, the Storm Gathering concluded with Su Nan taking away the dragon egg.

In the future, the Storm Gathering will become increasingly larger, and Sunan even plans to extend it to the Starfield Sea.

If Su Nan can find the celestial phenomenon near his werewolf plane that leads to the Starfield Sea.
