Glimmer-level Synthesis

The magic stone lamps emitted a warm glow, illuminating the entire workshop as if it were daylight.

After successfully synthesizing the magic stones, Su Nan immediately replaced all the lighting fixtures at the base with magic stone lamps.

Compared to torches and oil lamps, the light from the magic stone lamps is more stable and bright.

Their energy consumption is also low, with one magic stone being able to sustain a lamp for over half a year.

Similarly, the alcohol lamps used for making potions were also replaced with more precise burning lamps using magic stones as the energy source.

Thanks to this, Su Nan’s success rate in potion-making increased by a few percentage points.

Under the bright lights, Su Nan examined the ring in his palm with a focused expression and a joyful smile on his face.

When the materials purchased from the Fire Fox Chamber of Commerce arrived, he immediately began crafting magical items.

The first item was naturally a spatial magic item.

According to his previous plan, Su Nan manufactured seven alchemy-grade space rings in one go and then synthesized them to successfully create a Glimmer-level space ring.

【Spatial Ring (Glimmer-Level / Low Magic Item), containing 5 cubic meters of storage space, with objects inside unaffected by the passage of time, but unable to store life forms.】

The alchemy-grade space ring was only 0.5 cubic meters in size and did not have the preservation effect of pausing time. However, after synthesizing the Glimmer-level space ring, its space skyrocketed to ten times the original size, along with the added preservation effect of pausing time, making it significantly superior to the alchemy-grade space ring.

“Now I don’t have to constantly take things in and out of the magic cube.”

Su Nan put the space ring on his finger and nodded in satisfaction.

“Next, it’s time to create Glimmer-level magical items for attack and defense.”

Defensive magical items were easy to choose; the “Compendium of Low-Level Magical Items” contained methods to make protection rings, so Su Nan crafted some and then synthesized them.

As for offensive magical items, Su Nan pondered for a long time and finally chose an alchemy-grade magical item named ‘Frostburst Necklace.’

Its effect is to unleash an extreme cold shockwave centered on the user, causing chilling damage and frost slowing effects in a ten-meter radius.

It can both deal damage and control the battlefield!

A perfect dual-purpose!

Unlike space rings where being just enough is sufficient, for offensive and defensive magical items, the stronger the power, the better.

Therefore, Su Nan planned to make more, aiming to synthesize Glimmer-level magical items with greater power.

As long as they are on the brink of becoming a witch’s weapon, it’s good enough.

After all, controlling and using a witch’s weapon requires the spiritual power of a formal wizard level.

“This means the number required for synthesis will definitely not be small.”

Su Nan took a deep breath, focused his spirit, and continued investing himself into crafting magical items.

Star Light Calendar 1251.

Just a few days after the New Year celebration, the first batch of dragon blood fruits ripened.

Su Nan immediately gathered a group of guards and had them consume the dragon blood fruits to test their specific effects.

The results were quite satisfying to him.

The dragon blood fruit’s effect on strengthening physique is roughly equivalent to one-third of a lower-grade sub-dragon blood potion.

This degree is already quite good.

After all, the current monthly production of sub-dragon blood potions in Flashing City is less than twenty bottles, while dragon blood fruits can yield over a thousand every three months, equating to more than a hundred bottles of sub-dragon blood potions per month.

The production increase is more than fivefold!

This output is sufficient to supply the current army of Flashing City.

Even if Flashing City expands its army, it’s fine, as dragon blood fruit production can continuously grow with increased planting scale.

However, it requires enough apprentices to care for and cultivate them.

This aspect needs time to resolve.

The “First-Level Monster Summoning Technique” can increase the number of helpers, but its uncertainty is too high.

Su Nan tried seven to eight hundred times before finally summoning a suitable one like Geli.

Relying on this method to find enough helpers also requires a long period.

“The key is to attract them to stay.”

Geli belongs to an immortal race, and her long life gives her ample time and interest to experience everything that intrigues her.

Therefore, after being summoned by Su Nan, she was immediately interested in the idea of being the warehouse manager of the base, agreeing without much hesitation.

The requested payment wasn’t high, only three magic stones per month.

According to Geli, witnessing the growth of young wizard apprentices is quite intriguing.

Su Nan guessed that ‘young wizard apprentices’ include not only Xieman and the others, but possibly even himself.

Besides the dragon blood fruits, the cultivation of silver moon flowers is also quite promising.

Because they were planted early, the silver moon flowers have already been harvested twice.

The improved silver moon flowers yield essence with significantly enhanced effects, greatly reducing the cost of synthesizing superpower potions.

For this reason, Su Nan has surplus sub-grade active potions to provide his three students.

After the three youngsters took over the tasks of tending the magic plants and extracting the silver moon flower essence, Su Nan lightened his workload, with more energy to focus on other tasks.

It’s worth mentioning that not long ago, all three youngsters successfully constructed their first star rings.

The fastest was Xieman, who took just over seven months.

A large part of this is thanks to the subsidiary active potions.

It’s worth noting that when Su Nan first began practicing Star Ring Meditation, he had only silver moon flower essence to assist him, which is far less effective than the subsidiary active potions.

Compared to that, the three youngsters were undoubtedly luckier, having potions to aid their meditation from the start.

Even so, under those circumstances, Su Nan constructed his first star ring in six months.

This indicates the three young apprentices’ aptitude is inferior to his.

The second to construct a star ring was Kelei, taking nearly eight months, trailing Xieman by seven or eight days.

The last was Adil, who took about nine months.

After successfully constructing their first star rings, the three youngsters have now begun learning zero-ring spells.

However, Su Nan estimates they might need over half a year to master their first spell.

This is even with the boost from the subsidiary active potions.

After all, they don’t have golden hands to instantly learn spells like a cheat.

Thinking of the panel, Su Nan opened it for a glance.

The Star Ring Meditation is now level 9, and he has constructed eight star rings, just one short.

As he hypothesized, the experience required to upgrade level 9 Star Ring Meditation has soared to two hundred thousand.

According to his estimates, it will take roughly another six months to break through and level up.

His current spiritual power is 23.88.

Upon constructing the ninth star ring, it should grow to about 25.

“The further it goes, the harder it is to increase spiritual power.”

“To quickly advance to be a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice, I still need to rely on the Apocalyptic Potion.”
