Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Exorbitant Profits from Magic Stones Under the dual benefits of the Superpower Potion and Divine Blood Amber, Sunan’s meditation progress advanced by leaps and bounds, successfully constructing the fifth Star Ring by mid-month. His Spiritual Power also smoothly broke through the 18 major barrier. In two months, the duration of the Superpower Potion was nearing its end. So Sunan synthesized another bottle of a second-tier superior Superpower Potion and consumed it, further increasing his meditation efficiency from before. By the end of the day, the proficiency of the Star Ring Meditation Method increased by nearly 700 points. "Upgrading the level 6 Star Ring Meditation Method requires 50,000 proficiency. At this rate, it will take at least two more months." "However, once the sixth Star Ring is constructed, my Spiritual Power should be able to break through 20." Sunan’s mind slightly moved, summoning the panel. [Sunan Yanest, Human Male, 17 years old] [Spirit 18.92 / Constitution 14.21] [Skills] Star Ring Meditation Method Lv6 (21/50000) Potion Crafting Lv3 (1804/6000) Biological Transformation Lv2 (526/3000) Puppet Refining Lv2 (2371/3000) Magic Item Creation Lv1 (251/1000) Besides the Star Ring Meditation Method, the fastest growing skill among the remaining four is Potion Crafting, which is also far ahead in level. After all, Sunan now has to make potions every day, accumulating them for a period before delivering them to the Fire Fox Merchant Association for sale, which is his largest source of funds at present. The second fastest is Puppet Refining. He has to refine dozens of Black Rock Leopards every month, and recently he refined ten Clay Golems, significantly increasing his proficiency. Closely following is Biological Transformation. The blood replacement plan for the Hidden Dragon is still ongoing, providing considerable proficiency to the Biological Transformation skill each time. To date, the blood concentration of the Hidden Dragon Lizard has reached nearly 40%. Sunan estimates that within no more than two years, the Hidden Dragon’s bloodline will advance to the Sub-dragon bloodline. It’s worth mentioning that Sunan actually had the idea of extracting Amy’s space transference ability and copying it to the Hidden Dragon. After all, the space transference ability, combined with virtual and real transformation and invisibility abilities, is absolutely a perfect match. Combined, they could definitely allow the Hidden Dragon to undergo a qualitative change in combat power, increasing several levels. Even a Legendary Knight wouldn’t be able to withstand a Hidden Dragon mastering the space transference ability launching a surprise attack! For this reason, Sunan tempted Amy with synthesized Ice Mint, successfully persuading the little cat to agree to cooperate with his experiment. Unfortunately, despite multiple experiments, they all failed. Amy’s space transference ability is ultimately not derived from bloodline but is a quasi-magical ability awakened from the Magic Pet Contract. This kind of ability is not a bloodline ability, and even if Amy’s bloodline is extracted and integrated into the Hidden Dragon, it cannot be inherited or copied. Sunan had to temporarily shelve this tempting idea. "However, although space transference ability is rare, there are races in the multiverse that possess similar bloodline abilities. Once I become a Wizard, perhaps I can find a way to capture one and extract the bloodline ability to copy to the Hidden Dragon." Sunan secretly pondered. Among the four skills, the slowest growing is Magic Item Creation. After all, aside from creating rune gemstones, he basically hasn’t made any proper magic items. "Speaking of which, manufacturing Secondary Magic Stones should also increase proficiency in this skill, right?" Sunan had a thought. The Magic Item Workshop and the Puppet Factory both require a Magic Energy Crystal Forge, of which the energy source is magic stones. Before forging the Magic Energy Crystal Forge, he has to synthesize the magic stones first. Sunan turned and walked into the laboratory. Under the tireless labor of the Clay Golems, the foundation of the base is already laid, and various building facilities are beginning to take shape. It is estimated that the base construction will be completed in at most two months. After that, once various Arrays and Magic Energy transmission pipelines are laid out, the base will be truly completed. Standing in front of the workbench, Sunan drew the Array and then placed an egg-sized Crystal in the center of the Array. Even though the magic stone has "stone" in its name, it is actually a kind of gray crystal. Hence, it is also called Magic Crystal Stone. To naturally manufacture Secondary Magic Stones, a similar Crystal must be used as a carrier. As Sunan chanted an incantation, the Array lit up, Elemental Magic Power surged from the Earth Vein Node, flowed through the Magic Energy transmission pipeline into the Array, and finally converged into the Crystal. After about four or five minutes, the Crystal completely transformed from transparent to gray, taking on a peculiar luster. Sunan picked up the Crystal and placed it into a cube. [Secondary Magic Stone, Purity 99.36%, Crystal containing a small amount of magic energy.] "Not bad, the purity is quite high." Sunan nodded satisfied, then continued to manufacture more than twenty Secondary Magic Stones until the drawn Energy Gathering Array completely lost its effect, then stopped to start synthesizing magic stones. Upon inserting the fifteenth Secondary Magic Stone, the synthesis interface finally displayed information about the magic stone. [Magic Stone (Low Tier), Crystal containing abundant magic energy.] The cost of manufacturing Secondary Magic Stones is only the Crystal and the materials for drawing the Array. One Array can manufacture about twenty-seven Secondary Magic Stones. Ultimately, the cost of a Secondary Magic Stone is approximately twelve Silver Coins. The cost of one Low Tier Magic Stone is one hundred eighty Silver Coins, which is less than two Gold Coins. "It seems that in the 2.0 version of the Wizard Era, a Low Tier Magic Stone can be exchanged for fifty to sixty Gold Coins in any country. If calculated this way, my costs are simply a windfall." Sunan weighed the Magic Stone in his hand. Magic Stones are products of elemental tides, a rare mineral containing magic power. They are rare casting materials, items for setting up Arrays, and can extract energy to restore consumed Spiritual Power, making them extremely versatile. Therefore, Wizards often use Magic Stones as hard currency. With the method of low-cost synthesis of Magic Stones, when the Wizard Era arrives, he can immediately transform into a magnate, wildly acquiring all kinds of resources and magic items, just thinking about it is exciting. "Provided I can survive until a thousand years later." Calming his emotions, Sunan put away the Magic Stone and continued to manufacture Secondary Magic Stones. One Low Tier Magic Stone can approximately sustain the operation of a Magic Energy Crystal Forge for one hour. Considering that there will be at least two Magic Energy Crystal Forges in the base in the future, he plans to accumulate two to three hundred Magic Stones first. "It’s a pity my current Spiritual Power can’t open an Elemental Channel, otherwise building an Elemental Pool wouldn’t need to consume so many Magic Stones." Elemental Pools are higher-tier energy supply devices. They can extract Elemental Energy from the Elemental Plane, providing endless and stable energy efficiently, far more than simply setting up Magic Energy transmission pipelines on Earth Vein Nodes. A small Elemental Pool is enough to meet the basic needs of a Wizard Tower. But opening an Elemental Channel is something only an Official Wizard can do, so Sunan can only sigh for now. "Well, better continue grinding Magic Stones straightforwardly." Gathering his thoughts, Sunan immersed himself in manufacturing Secondary Magic Stones. ... While Sunan was engrossed in grinding Magic Stones, a peculiar recruitment event sweeping across the Flashing Territory was grandly underway.
