Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 330 [330] Analysis Complete: The Spiritual Theory of Dragons and Tigers

The moon and stars are rare.

Inside the Star Tower, Black Soul King Ya stood on the top-floor balcony, overlooking the scene within the Sak family's territory. The dense foliage could not block the shimmering energy reflecting light, forming a light curtain that enveloped the entire area of ​​the sky, like a transparent ripple on an eggshell.

Holding a tray, Victor stood in the corner of the room like a dutiful butler, and would not make any move without the young master's orders.

Viktor caught a glimpse of the Black Soul King's figure out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes were filled with admiration. The 120 years of waiting and the setbacks encountered in the Gap Land had not only failed to defeat the young master, but had instead completely unleashed his potential.

"Victor."

"Young Master, I'm here."

Black Soul King Ya turned around, paused for a moment as if thinking, and then asked, "What are the three Obi brothers doing? I haven't seen them in a long time."

"Young Master, they have gone to investigate the Twelve Constellations as you instructed, and they have already made some progress, obtaining detailed information about some of their competitors."

Black Soul King Ya picked up the coffee on the tray, gently blew away the steam, and sat down in the chair.

"I've been a bit too busy lately, and I've also had some new insights. Tell me about them, and let's see what kind of surprise these three good-for-nothings can give me." Wang Ya placed the coffee on the desk, where books were piled up to five layers high. Drafts about his own insights and research filled a full third of these books.

Young Master Gamor is truly diligent; no wonder he is valued by two second-level wizards and even has the potential to become the number one of the Ten Stars.

The competition among the twelve star cities is probably not a big problem for young master Gamo.

Viktor had some thoughts in mind, so he quickly took a few steps closer, bowed, and said, "There are about twenty formal wizards participating in this competition. Among them, we need to pay attention to two Star Inheritors who are rumored to have reached the combat strength of veteran formal wizards."

The so-called Star Inheritor is a formal wizard who is valued by a second-level Star Wizard, taken as a disciple, and who has mastered the second-level wizard's inheritance.

Such formal wizards are generally stronger than other formal wizards, and with their overwhelming advantage in lineage, their magical skills are naturally even more extraordinary.

"A disciple of the second-level Star Wizard 'Ci Ling,' who is suspected to have reached the combat strength of a veteran formal wizard, is named 'Bai Lan.'"

"A disciple of the second-level Star Wizard 'Iron God,' who is suspected to have reached the combat strength of a veteran official wizard, is named 'Mountain Spring.'"

A thoughtful look flashed in Black Soul King Ya's eyes. According to Victor, the strength of these two could overwhelm other formal wizards. Even after he advanced to become a formal wizard, it would be impossible for him to close the gap with the veteran formal wizards in just eight years.

The resources his original body provided, combined with the support of the Sack family's internal resources, might be able to create an opportunity.

The specifics will depend on his performance over the past eight years.

However, the breakthrough to becoming a formal wizard cannot be delayed any longer.

Black Soul King Ya decided to attempt a breakthrough soon, and said to Victor, "Bring the three Obi brothers back, and also tell Qiuqiu Dong that I won't be able to leave the Star Tower for the next few months."

Viktor looked up at his master, a look of surprise on his face.

"I am about to break through to become a formal wizard, within six months."

Viktor's face lit up with joy. Ever since the young master displayed his great potential that day, he had been personally received by the Wizard of Ten Thousand Calamities and accepted as a disciple.

In eighteen years, with an unstoppable momentum, he has successively broken through the Limit Wizard Apprentice stage and the Limit Break stage. Now he is about to break through to become a formal wizard. When the news gets out, I wonder how many people will be shocked by it.

It's too fast, like breaking through some kind of limitation or obstacle, without encountering any bottlenecks.

But when applied to the young master, it seems perfectly natural.

After 120 years of accumulation, Viktor looked at the figure of Black Soul King Ya with excitement. It must be so. With the young master's personality, how could he be so foolish as to stay in the gap of the outer area and wait for 120 years? He must have other purposes to achieve.

"Young Master Gamo, should I inform Lord Koruman?"

"Tell me."

Dark Soul King Abbot had no intention of hiding anything; the news of his breakthrough to become a formal wizard was best spread far and wide.

Having inherited three-tenths of the original body's potential and received so much help from it, if he still couldn't break through to become a formal wizard, then no one in this world could possibly do so.

The positions and honors of the Twelve Constellations are coveted by all the wizards of the Black Tower, and only the truly strong can occupy those positions.

Most importantly, Wang Ya needs a surge of momentum to draw the attention of the three Radiant Moon Wizards in the Black Tower.

A slight smile curved his lips. According to the original body's plan, he no longer needed to worry about anything; the original body had complete confidence in its ability to cover all risks.

Even if the Black Soul King Ya's weakness is discovered, his true form can still quiet down the Black Tower, so the Radiant Moon Wizard won't have to take action personally. At most, it's the Sack family or the Laura family that might intervene.

Black Soul King Ya naturally began to consider the inheritance of the three Radiant Moon Wizards.

The most crucial point is the honor and position held by Capricorn Star. It will bring abundant resources from the Black Tower, access to the Inheritance Tower, opportunities to consult with Level Two Star Wizards, and even the attention of Level Three Moon Wizards. With good luck, one might gain favor and achieve their goals.

Regarding extraordinary knowledge and wizarding lineage, the essence of the concept is that the more the better; formal wizarding lineages are all subject to being killed without exception.

A few days later, news that the Sack family's "Gamor" was about to break through to become a formal wizard spread throughout the regions of the four major star families. Not only that, but it even reached the headquarters of the Black Tower.

The second-ranked member of the Ten Outstanding Stars after Wanda Qiuye, placed in a huge black tower, is also very famous and is considered a potential rival for Capricorn Star.

As a second-level Star Wizard, the Tomb Raider Wizard also has his own jurisdiction, including the Wizard City and the Mortal Kingdom. Everything within his territory is managed by the Tomb Raider Wizard himself, who only needs to pay magic stones to his headquarters according to the rules at regular intervals.

Located in the center of the Ciling territory is not the magnificent Wizard City, but a huge black tower with a height of three thousand meters. Energy circulates on the tower, forming transparent blue ripples, which occasionally produce jumping blue arcs of light, causing the ripples to undulate.

Inside the fifth floor of the tower, a voice echoed through the space, its tone tinged with rare surprise.

"Interesting, Gamo. It's been 120 years since we last met. Your return brings me such a big surprise. I really didn't expect it."

The figure wore a blue wizard's robe, had long blue hair, snow-white eyebrows, and handsome features, but a hideous scar ran down his jaw.

As he processed the information from the wizard's mark, he subconsciously reached out and touched the scar on his jaw, its texture incredibly rough and full of grooves.

A smile appeared on the blue-and-white wizard's face, which looked somewhat ferocious due to the scars. "It seems I can repay the humiliation you inflicted on me. For 120 years, I have never forgotten that I was once defeated by you, the number one third-level wizard apprentice."

"Things are different now. You've fallen too far behind. A difference of 120 years can't be bridged in just 18 years."

"Even if you break through to the formal wizard stage at this time, it will be useless. In eight years, can you stabilize your strength... or reach the combat strength of a veteran formal wizard?"

Blue ice crystals formed inside the space. The blue-and-white wizard had a cold expression, and a long sword phantom seemed to appear in his pupils, stirring up thousands of cold blizzards.

……

The Iron God's territory is located inside the central Iron God Tower.

The Mountain Spring Wizard rolled up the cuffs of his white robe slightly and bowed to express his respect for the Second-Level Star Wizard.

A cold wind blew in from outside the window, hitting the face of the figure on the balcony. The black hair fluttered slightly, and the black metal mask on the face even covered the eyes.

"Recently, there's been a lot of talk about that kid from the Sack family. They're said to be going to participate in this year's Capricorn Star Competition. Are you confident?"

"Of course I'm confident, after all, I'm the strongest." The Mountain Spring Wizard's lips curled into a smile, his fair face displaying the same confidence as his tone.

The Iron God Wizard remained silent. He never commented on his disciple's confidence; it was his own business.

In fact, since the Mountain Spring Wizard entered the Black Tower, he has never lost a single time.

"The number one third-level wizard apprentice, he has a great reputation, and his strength is unknown now. I was in seclusion during the secret realm competition that year, so I did not participate. Otherwise, he would not have become famous. He is just a descendant of a wizarding family."

A mocking smile appeared on the lips of the Mountain Spring Wizard.

"Alright, your confidence is getting a little tiresome." The Iron God Wizard's interruption made the Mountain Spring Wizard bow even more deeply, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.

However, the glint in his eyes clearly revealed a lot of thoughts and ideas, and even a fleeting hint of coldness.

"If you have the ability to win over Capricorn, that would be best; but I think you know the punishment for failure."

"I understand, teacher. Don't worry, I will not bring shame to the Iron God lineage. I will not lose, and the Iron God lineage will never lose."

The Mountain Spring Wizard remained bowed until the Iron God Wizard left the room, then slowly stood up and straightened his back.

The aches and pains from bending over did not move the Mountain Spring Wizard in the slightest.

His face remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on the spot where the Iron God Wizard's figure had disappeared. Then, a ferocious look appeared on his lips, which he quickly concealed.

After a while, a suppressed, sinister laugh echoed in the room. "Kama, is it? You're the one that even Teacher Tesshin mentioned. Let's see what kind of skills you have."

"You're just a mere apprentice who's broken through the limits. How much can you improve in eight years? I hope you don't get beaten to death by me on the Star Battlefield."

What is the essence of pharmaceutics?

In the study on the third floor, Wang Ya was browsing through the potion-related books sent by Wizard Freddy.

The most frequently recorded entries are annotations and explanations of this issue, which seem to contain the essence of pharmaceutics.

Five months have passed since Wang Ya consulted the Blood God Wizard and Freddy Wizard.

He has also gained a deeper understanding and insight into this issue.

"Essentially, it is by controlling the spirituality that exists within extraordinary materials, that is, by fusing and colliding and reacting between extraordinary properties of different natures, that we can obtain different extraordinary properties themselves."

"This new extraordinary property itself may be a fusion of many original extraordinary properties, which enhances the extraordinary property several times over, and can bring greater effects to the user."

Scenes of Wang Ya taking the Azure Potion, the Healing Potion, and the Transcendent Potion flashed through his mind.

The resulting beneficial effects are due to the extraordinary properties inherent in the extraordinary potion.

"To refine extraordinary potions, one must control their extraordinary properties, involve extraordinary spiritual power, and grasp the perfect balance to allow the extraordinary potion to fully take shape."

"The extraordinary properties that a potion-making wizard can control vary depending on their stage and strength. A second-level wizard apprentice still needs to rely on basic auxiliary tools such as crucibles, containers, mortal fire, test tubes, and measuring cups, and the extraordinary potions they can refine are mostly low-grade."

Of course, these basic auxiliary tools are also very old. With the innovation of wizarding technology, most of them have become more technological, data-driven, and automated.

However, these are only possessed by wizarding forces in the inner or core areas, and some have even formed production lines for potion manufacturing, building mass-production potion factories.

According to some information shared by the strangled king, mass production of alchemy factories and potion factories had already been completed in the legendary era.

As long as it doesn't involve the creation of spiritual potions or the alchemy of magical artifacts, it can be perfectly mass-produced and replicated.

As for spirituality, it corresponds to a first-tier magical plant. A first-level magical plant possesses powerful extraordinary properties that surpass the apprentice level, so powerful that the degree of change in the fusion of these properties is uncontrollable. Even if forcibly controlled, the cost would far outweigh the benefits.

During the legendary era, the corresponding wizard factories also served as resource production bases, supplying basic resources to wizards fighting on the front lines in other worlds.

Potions and alchemical items for formal wizards and above can only be made by highly skilled professional wizards.

Wang Ya's pupils shimmered with a white, flickering light, and he gradually came to understand all the key points of potion refining.

"The simpler the auxiliary tool, the more it can test a potion wizard and maximize their potion-making skills. A level three wizard apprentice and a limit wizard apprentice can refine medium-level potions and high-level potions. Freddy's strength, although not a formal wizard, is not far off. He is in the stage of breaking through limits. It seems that his wizard heart is not perfect, so he dares not break through."

"Wizard Freddy's skill level is extremely high, completely at the level of a first-level potion wizard. With his limitless strength, he can even refine first-level extraordinary potions with spirituality, although the success rate is not high and it takes a very long time."

Wang Ya was certain that if Freddy the Wizard broke through to the first level of Wizard, he would definitely be able to increase the success rate of refining spiritual potions from the original five percent to over thirty percent.

The difference between a formal wizard and an apprentice wizard is too great. The degree and intensity to which extraordinary mental power can control extraordinary properties are also different.

No matter how skilled or experienced a person is, they can move a tiger with their own strength, but they cannot move a dragon.

First-tier magical plants and other extraordinary creatures possess extraordinary properties, ranging from fierce tigers to dragons, or even higher.

Time passed slowly, and Wang Ya was also immersed in a deep understanding of potion-making and alchemy. Not only did he continue to acquire extraordinary spellbooks from the two Divine Blood Wizards and Freddy Wizard, but he also exchanged almost all the extraordinary knowledge related to these two disciplines from the Land of Inheritance.

[Note: The first part of the analysis of the Burning Soul inheritance is complete.]

On this day, the fluctuations of the Eye of Truth pulled Wang Ya out of his research state.

P.S.: I'll write another chapter (5,000+ words) later. Sorry for the late update today.
