Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems
Chapter 489: Everything Here Will Be Yours in Thirty Years?
Alicia took out a Bloodline School magic book and began to flip through it. The book's title was "Complete Guide to Bloodline Universal Spells," a secret not passed outside the Plutarch family. It recorded many powerful bloodline universal spells, some of which had even lost their inheritance outside the Plutarch family.
"Look at this magic book. You can select two bloodline spells you're interested in from it, and I can create True Blood for you."
Locke quickly flipped through the magic book's table of contents, then searched for corresponding introductions according to the contents, looking for bloodline universal spells he was interested in.
Twenty minutes later, Locke selected two spells. One was the ordinary bloodline universal spell Bloodline Harmony, and one was the advanced bloodline universal spell Blood Flame Enchantment.
One of these two spells could enchant his own Blood Flame onto his other spells, magical artifacts, and magical plants, working with Blood Flame to exert power. The other was specifically used to harmonize bloodlines and prevent bloodline conflicts within one's body.
Alicia looked at Locke's choices with some surprise. "I thought you would choose two advanced bloodline universal spells, Locke."
"There are quite a few Bloodline School spells that can further enhance physique. In future battles with others, you could use Fury, Secondary Fury, Boiling Blood, and Beast Body, then combine them with a bloodline universal spell to enhance your physique. Wouldn't that be better? Combined with your two powerful ancient creature bloodlines, very few wizards would be able to confront you head-on."
Locke explained simply, "I'm not originally a bloodline wizard. Even if I use the Scorpion Woman Ring and can use a complete set of bloodline universal spells that only bloodline wizards can use, it will also bring the problem of bloodline rampage caused by using too many Bloodline School spells."
Especially since he, as an archaeologist, had already transplanted quite a few ancient creature bloodlines into his body.
Now, to further utilize these bloodline powers, he also carried the bloodline wizard's treasure, the Scorpion Woman Ring, and three drops of true blood. This had already seriously exceeded the limit, so naturally he couldn't choose all advanced bloodline universal spells. That would only increase his burden.
So his choice of an ordinary bloodline universal spell, Bloodline Harmony, was a very rational behavior.
Alicia nodded.
Grand Wizard Sulla said, "A wise choice. Not blindly seeking more, but placing more emphasis on the portion you can digest. This is very wise."
"Many wizards are blinded by immediate benefits, their minds become muddled, and they go down the wrong path, including me."
Grand Wizard Sulla said, "I now believe that whether a wizard can break through to Second Circle depends on whether they can restrain their greed."
Locke glanced at Grand Wizard Sulla. Grand Wizard Sulla had obviously fallen due to being too hasty.
If he hadn't been so eager to transplant the Dark Cave Scorpion Woman bloodline into himself, he wouldn't have had to face the problem of magical power far exceeding his soul's limit so early, and then wouldn't have needed to take desperate measures and compete with Uliel prematurely.
Even if his lifespan was running out, with Grand Wizard Sulla's resources, extending his life by about ten years should still have been sufficient, just like now, he still managed to abnormally extend his life by thirty years through a soul magic portrait.
If he had first completed the ultimate magic prototype, then transplanted the Dark Cave Scorpion Woman bloodline, and then spent some time refining himself and discovering the Dark Cave Scorpion Woman bloodline's flaws, his success rate in advancing would have been much higher.
He made one wrong move in his strategy, causing him to lose everything afterward.
From the beginning, he shouldn't have made that move. If he did make it, he should have accepted the consequences without regret, or cut his losses in time.
Alicia said to Locke, "I'll create the Bloodline Harmony true blood and Blood Flame Enchantment true blood for you as soon as possible."
"Besides this, the Plutarch family has another reward to bestow upon you. As thanks for winning such great honor for the Land of Six Towers, making the name of the Land of Six Towers rank ahead of the twenty wizard lands in the Eastern Zone for the first time, our Plutarch family will make an exception and open access to you for the First Circle wizard secret realm that originally only our Land of Six Towers' noble family wizards could enter, Poisonous Valley."
Locke's face showed interest.
A First Circle level wizard secret realm was very meaningful for him at this stage. What was a wizard secret realm?
It was a secret realm that had enormous promoting effects for First Circle stage wizards to break through species limits, or where simply entering had huge promoting effects for breaking through minor stages. Only then could it be called a wizard secret realm.
Every wizard secret realm was registered with the White Wizard Association and required specialized experts to conduct secret realm grading.
Whether held by the association, wizard organizations, or individual wizards privately, they would at least be recorded and classified by grade.
So even if it was a wizard secret realm in the Land of Six Towers, it was definitely a treasure land.
Wizard secret realms, colonial planes, and association funds were the three most important resources of a wizard land, and were also the three major resources mutually bound with wizard teaching positions.
Locke asked in a low voice, "I don't have a teaching position in the Land of Six Towers. According to the White Wizard Association's rules, this reward won't be easy to give me, right?"
Alicia said skillfully, "Rules are dead, people are alive. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many contracts that, even after being made by contract specialists, still have loopholes found and are violated."
"Although you don't have a teaching position and indeed cannot enter wizard secret realms registered under White Dragon Magic Gem University, we can give you a temporary consultant position and use the school regulation for special rewards for extraordinary contributions to solve this problem."
"Although this requires several extra steps and filing with the White Wizard Association a few times, making it a bit troublesome, ultimately there's a way to solve it."
Alicia said to Locke, "I'll help push this forward for you."
Locke nodded. "Good, as long as there's no problem."
Alicia said, "Besides this, your previously submitted applications for the improved Mammon's Powder formula patent and the improved Unicorn Rhinoceros patent have both been approved. The articles have also been published, obtaining two S-rank association articles in our Land of Six Towers."
"We can, as I mentioned before, open our potion specialty store in the Land of Six Towers. You and I will each get one-fifth of the money, and the remaining money will go to the Plutarch family. What do you think?"
Alicia said, "The Plutarch family will be responsible for all the store rental fees, equipment costs, promotion costs, and the money for building production lines and hiring potion masters."
"We'll transfer the money to your account every month."
Locke nodded. "Of course, no problem."
As his works became more and more numerous, he naturally couldn't personally operate every project. Just like how many of his apprentice-level things in the Southeastern quadrant were operated by Lady Irina, the complete breakthrough system he had created in the Land of Six Towers could also be operated by the Plutarch family on his behalf.
Now he received teaching position invitations from different wizard organizations every day. He would soon leave the Land of Six Towers. Staying in the Land of Six Towers for such small gains would be truly unwise.
So if Alicia and the Plutarch family didn't operate this potion-accelerated advancement method for him, he would indeed have to give up earning money from this area and could only figure something out after leaving.
Therefore, Locke had no problem with what Alicia said. Never mind one-fifth of the profits, even if they only gave him one-tenth, it would be fair and he could accept it.
Grand Wizard Sulla's soul looked at the exchange between Alicia and Locke with confusion, so he interjected with a question, "What improved Mammon's Powder?"
Alicia briefly explained, and Grand Wizard Sulla looked at the two discussing potion technique details in shock, suddenly interrupting, "Are you saying you've invented a set of potion administration methods that can accelerate wizards from First Circle vaporization stage to First Circle liquefaction stage?"
"You two invented it together in cooperation?"
Alicia said somewhat shyly, "Grandfather, Locke completed the main body. I just helped."
"It's Locke who's amazing."
Locke frowned. "Being able to complete this set of potion administration methods was thanks to Alicia proposing the concept of toxicity offset potions, using one potion's side effects to offset another potion's side effects."
"Therefore, we were able to complete this set of potion administration methods."
Grand Wizard Sulla's face showed a strange expression. "Potion studies can accomplish such things? No, it's that your talents can reach this level."
Grand Wizard Sulla's soul's face showed uncertain expressions. "Why don't you, Alicia, also focus on your development in potion studies? Previously, I may have been too short-sighted, thinking you didn't need to go too deep into potion studies, that you could just buy whatever potions you needed directly from potion masters."
"But now it seems my idea may have been wrong."
"Your talent in potion studies exceeds my imagination."
Grand Wizard Sulla thought of even more. He immediately connected the Augustine Potion Specialty Store with power in the Land of Six Towers. "If we can control a potion specialty store, it's equivalent to controlling another channel for other wizards to obtain advancement resources. Then naturally we can gain more power."
"Alicia, you must develop potion studies. You cannot not develop it. Now it seems your ability in this area is very useful. However, from what I hear, it sounds like without Locke's inspiration, you only wanted to create toxicity offset potions and had no intention of thinking in this direction."
Grand Wizard Sulla looked at Alicia with some regret. "Alicia, although pursuing your own interests is good, you should also compromise somewhat for your reality and needs."
"You should clearly understand how much power a Plutarch family head who controls specific advancement potion resources would have, right?"
Alicia's eyes showed disagreement. "Grandfather, I believe that pursuing with such strong purpose as you do might actually result in getting nothing."
Grand Wizard Sulla's soul looked at Locke and nodded slightly. "Locke, can you truly not stay in the Land of Six Towers? In thirty years, my soul will dissipate."
"At that time, the Land of Six Towers will be yours."
"Controlling the Land of Six Towers, you can control the six Faith Towers. If you're already a Second Circle wizard at that time, then with the six Faith Towers, you'll be able to battle Third Circle wizards."
"Even now, as long as you can become a First Circle crystallization wizard, you won't fear Second Circle wizards. In a certain sense, your status would be equivalent to Second Circle wizards."
Grand Wizard Sulla waved his hand. His soul power transformed into six towers reaching from earth to heaven, surrounding Locke's body.
"Locke, all of this will be yours."
Facing this temptation, Locke pressed his lips together. He admitted that for a moment he was indeed moved. After all, the six high towers weren't ordinary items.
But Locke quickly came to his senses. Any enhancement from external objects was inferior to becoming powerful himself.
Locke quickly freed himself from this temptation and said, "I want to become a Second Circle wizard, and the Land of Six Towers doesn't have resources suitable for me."
Grand Wizard Sulla and Alicia's eyes flashed with regret.
