Chapter 133: Doubling Mana and One Month

Locke pressed his palm on the amethyst matrix.

Suddenly, a huge demonic pressure descended upon it, and ripples appeared in the amethyst matrix one after another. Among the waves, a number appeared in the amethyst.

446!

A flash of surprise flashed in Locke’s eyes. “It’s worthy of the twelve thousand magic stones I spent to get this. This is the result of the full resource utilization meditation method’s newbie bonus period.”

“When I first became a first-class wizard apprentice, my spiritual power was 220. After that, I practiced ordinary meditation for more than two months, but my spiritual power only increased slightly. In other words, I actually increased my spiritual power by 225 points during the novice bonus period of the advanced meditation method.”

“If it weren’t for the novice benefit period, how could I have doubled my mana in just one month? My mana is as profound as if I had been a first-class wizard apprentice for several years.”

This has already doubled one’s mana, and the more total mana one has, the purer the mana will be and the higher the quality will be.

Therefore, the improvement of strength is achieved in this way.

Now, when Locke casts the magic model, the power of the Bushes and Trees, Mayfly Fireworks, and Vine Frenzy series of spells can be increased out of thin air. His reaction speed and casting speed are also comprehensively improved, and the number of times they can be used is also greatly increased.

Locke’s magic pressure and surface magic resistance are more than double what they were before, allowing him to withstand more powerful spell attacks and external radiation pressure.

This improvement in strength caused by the increase in magic power is more of a comprehensive improvement.

Locke suppressed his excitement and thought, “But after the novice benefit period, my mana increase rate won’t be this fast. It’s unlikely that I’ll increase eight or nine mana points in one night. I’ll probably spend two or three nights meditating to increase one mana point.”

“And the further you go, the harder it becomes to increase your mana.”

“I heard from Angelo and Aisi that it’s very difficult to increase mana after 600. Even with advanced meditation, it requires hard training, or using a large amount of mid- to high-level magic resources to speed up.”

“And after mana exceeds 800, it will be even more exaggerated.” Locke pondered. “Anglu told me that after mana exceeds 800, very high-quality magical resources are required to accelerate its growth.”

“So, wizards in the southeastern region will begin to try using a promotion potion after their magic power exceeds 800, directly reaching the threshold of becoming a formal wizard.”

“Because after level 800, improving mental power becomes very awkward. The quality of mental power is simply too high, requiring a large amount of high-level resources to accelerate its growth. However, wizard apprentices themselves are not formal wizards, so they cannot find so many high-level resources.”

“At that time, the spiritual power of wizard apprentices was not as high-quality as the magic power of formal wizards. They could not directly attract more dimensional energy from the void, so the progress of meditation was very slow.”

“My mental strength is at a relatively high quality, but not that high, and is in a trough period with slow progress.” Locke looked at his reflection in the study mirror. “Many wizard apprentices in the southeastern region who can’t get the advancement potion have been exhausted to death in this trough.”

“I’m stuck at the 800 to 1,000 mark my whole life.”

“But if there were advancement potions, it seems possible to use the power of Alchemy to break through this stage and force advancement.” Locke became distressed. “It’s just that I’ve been hanging out with those Alchemy assistants for so long, and I still haven’t found out what advancement potions are.”

“It seems that this thing, like the advanced meditation method, is subject to a strict information blockade by the White Wizard Association in the southeast corner.”

“Until that stage, I won’t be able to access it. And I’m afraid I can only obtain this kind of magical resources through the academy.”

Locke thought of the wizard seeds in the academy, such as Angron, Mary, Albert and others. Are they qualified to access and advance to the potion?

Locke walked out of the study, and the magic pressure on his body formed a protective layer covering his skin, strengthening his magic resistance.

Now his magical powers are comparable to those of senior first-class wizard apprentices, so one of his shortcomings has been alleviated.

He ordered the cat maid to tidy up the house while he asked the gray dwarf servant to open the laboratory door.

During this month, Locke also wasted 400 magic stones through repeated practice, bought a large amount of low-level training materials, and practiced with real materials in the later stage, and finally learned how to refine the secondary emerald green potion.

To be honest, if I hadn’t gotten the recipe from Witch Sophia for free and asked her to guide me, I would have to spend at least 500 magic stones to sign up for a course, and the cost of using materials would probably be even more expensive.

Moreover, this kind of private potion formula course is generally not available for purchase in public courses. Similar public potion formula courses are generally between 800 and 1000 magic stones.

Locke quickly separated three portions of tree demon blood and squeezed out the effective ingredients inside. Then, using other materials, he spent an hour and a half to quickly refine three tubes of secondary emerald green potion.

The most expensive ingredient in the Secondary Emerald Potion is only Dryad Blood. Sophia omitted all other expensive materials and materials that require complex processing techniques, leaving only Dryad Blood as the main ingredient and some auxiliary materials.

While reducing the efficacy of the medicine, it also reduces the difficulty of refining.

Although it is a potion simplified from a magic potion, the difficulty of refining the Lesser Emerald Potion is not too low.

With the Lesser Emerald Potion, he was able to gain a firm foothold in the Healing Hands Clinic.

From now on, even without Andrew and Aisi’s help, he can cure most of the patients who are cursed.

Locke looked at the three tubes of secondary emerald green potion in his hand. The emerald green liquid in the potion tube contained many transparent and flawless small bubbles. Overall, the potion liquid itself looked like some kind of gem.

The increase in mana was undoubtedly the key to his rapid mastery of the Lesser Emerald Potion. The higher the mana, the lower the difficulty and cost of learning to prepare this difficult potion.

“It takes half an hour to refine one tube of secondary potion.” Locke rubbed his eyebrows.

“It’s also very energy-consuming. I should quickly establish a corresponding production line in my personal pharmacy and use those assistants to save my energy. They can do the repetitive work of preparing the Secondary Emerald Potion for me.”

“Three tubes of Lesser Emerald Potion. Try synthesizing them and see what happens.” Locke placed the three tubes of Lesser Emerald Potion directly into his synthesis cube. “Hopefully, it’ll give me some surprises.”

Locke looked at the plantation documents on the operating table in his laboratory. After this month, he had urgently opened up a hundred acres of magic fields, and by planting the crystal palm fire lotus synthesized by himself, he had delivered a thousand crystal palm fire lotuses to Zack this month.

He needs to deliver 4,000 plants to Zack in three batches within three months.

Only a thousand plants were delivered this month.

But it doesn’t matter. The magic field was only established in the first month, and the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus was forcibly ripened with high-grade fast-growing agents. As a result, the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus, which originally needed at least a year to mature and be used, produced a thousand qualified quality plants within a month.

Later on, the output will become higher and higher. In the remaining two months, the one hundred acres of magic field will be more than enough to produce three thousand plants, or even higher. It is expected that about two thousand plants can be produced every month.

Locke decided to trade the extra output directly with Li Jin Secret Language. After all, not only the academy would buy this magical plant, but wizards from other individual botanical schools would also be interested in it.

Similarly, within this month, I learned the 0.5-level [Scorched Earth Bomb]. This spell model is not complicated for me now, and I have a lot of crystal palm fire lotuses in my hands, so there is no cost pressure to practice it.

But Locke has been thinking about the monitoring of his botanical garden and pharmacy recently.

The alchemy hut where the botanical garden and the pharmacy are located has its own security features, and ordinary first-class wizard apprentices cannot easily break in.

But I should still place some monitoring magic products in the botanical garden and the pharmacy, so that I can keep abreast of the work progress in these two places and the growth status of the magic plants at any time, and if there are any emergencies, I can deal with them in time.

Locke sat in front of the operating table, thinking.

“I can go to the Chimera Market. There should be a store there that can solve this problem. In addition to surveillance, I can also buy some magic locks and set up barriers to enhance my security.”
