Chapter 539: Advanced Blood-Weeping Nightshade Potion, do you want it?

Half a month later.

Inside the Ice Magic Mirror room, the entire screen of the Ice Magic Mirror now displayed a three-dimensional image of the natural magic structure components similar to the Royal Lightning Field.

At the same time, the magic mirror flickered, switching the three-dimensional structure diagram at the microscopic level to a three-dimensional structure diagram at the spiritual level.

Locke compared the three three-dimensional structural images of the components of this natural magic structure, and only then did he find out from the comparison why this natural magic structure can stimulate the evolution of the bloodline of magical creatures whose main attributes are compatible with lightning magic.

“Let a wizard specializing in lightning magic from the Evocation School see these three images, and he’ll be able to quickly create a brand new lightning magic spell model.”

Locke captured the key structural features of the three three-dimensional images, and at the same time, a large number of documents copied using the magic mirror appeared on the operating table.

After doing all this, Locke looked at the time he had left. He had only used the Ice Magic Mirror for 8 hours. Logically, he could use it for another 4 hours before being asked to leave by the mirror spirit.

In that case, there is no need to leave obediently.

Locke put a new sample into the magic mirror. After the developing potion was dripped into the sample, it began to rotate on the surface of the magic mirror.

This is just a three-dimensional structural observation of the discovered natural magic structural components. You only need to find a few characteristic key points and record them to prove that it is this natural magic structural component.

Therefore, the remaining four hours are enough for use.

Within this half month, Locke completed the preliminary experimental data on the relationship between the reproductive capacity of six types of air plants and magical creatures. Together with the data done in the previous half month, there are a total of nine types.

During this process, Locke synthesized a pineapple containing an unknown natural magical structure – the Big Black Diamond Swan Pineapple.

There are two unknown natural magical structural components inside this pineapple, one of which can help a first-ring magical creature, the Black King Goose, to generate a biological protective layer similar to earth elemental magic on its body surface.

Another type has a natural magical component structure that is similar to a powerful charm that increases the mating interest of male and female [Black King Geese].

At the current rate, after I become proficient, I can complete preliminary experiments on the relationship between the reproductive capacity of nine to twelve pineapple-like magical plants and specific magical creatures in about a month, and discover one to two new natural magical structure components every month.

This speed is already very fast, terrifyingly fast.

The six groups originally discovered unfamiliar natural magical structure components at a rate of about once every five years.

In other words, only one person among the six groups of researchers in the three generations of the Academy of True Knowledge would be lucky enough to discover an unfamiliar natural magical structure component.

Locke, on the other hand, had discovered three natural unknown magical structure components within four months of entering the Academy of True Knowledge.

To be honest, Locke is a little bit path-dependent. He just follows this path and keeps doing it, and then madly releases the first-ring level area [Green Grass Cloud Lake].

Every newly discovered, natural, unknown magical structure component has the opportunity to appear on the [Green Grass Cloud Marsh].

This is a regular visitor to [Qingcao Yunze].

Four hours later, Locke left the Ice Mirror and immediately returned to his workstation in the public laboratory, asking Gregor to help him organize the information.

They were busy for three consecutive days. Locke stretched and stood up from his workstation. He finally finished writing three things.

A final report on a third-class fund, an article on the natural magic structure of a type-one royal lightning field, and a rewritten article on using the power of Mist to accelerate the entry into the crystallization stage.

The previous article was rejected by Yunze and Qingcao Yunze successively. Therefore, Locke had to temporarily stop submitting articles before he could obtain empirical evidence to prevent being rejected too many times and causing more trouble for future submissions.

At this moment, I am already a wizard in the first ring crystallization stage, so I can naturally submit my works.

Locke picked up the three documents and was about to leave when he turned around and saw Gregor, who had dark circles under his eyes, supporting his chin and dozing off.

Gregor Robinson noticed that Locke was looking at him, and he stood up in shock and saluted Locke. “Teacher, are we done with our work?”

Locke gave him a puzzled look. “I remember I told you to go back to bed half a day ago, didn’t I?”

Gregor said guiltily, “But I don’t think the teacher has rested, so I dare not rest.”

Locke nodded slightly.

Gregor was born into a local family in Yunze Wetland and had never traveled far. In addition, he was the son of the wood element, so he had a smooth journey. After only four years of studying magic, he became a first-class wizard apprentice with a magic power of 700.

Therefore, he is simple-minded, does not know how to refuse others, and even does not know how to protect his own interests.

In other words, this is the white wizard society, the extremely orderly Golden Crown Mountain. If he were in the black wizard land, he would be easily taken advantage of.

Locke frowned and said, “I’m a first-ring wizard with strong mental strength, so I can work continuously for three days and three nights. This is not a big deal for me, but you are just a first-class wizard apprentice. Going without sleep for three consecutive days is too much mental pressure on you.”

“Also, you already have a magic pressure of 700, which means you’re on your way to becoming a full-fledged wizard. Don’t do this kind of thing in the future.”

Locke said calmly: “For me, the most important thing is that you become a formal wizard as soon as possible.”

Gregor felt warm inside, “Thank you, teacher.”

“Teacher, you are so kind.”

Gregor looked at the document in Locke’s hand and drank a bottle of energy potion, temporarily regaining some energy. “Teacher, I will help you submit the manuscript. Then you can go and rest.”

“You are a Crystalline Wizard. Your time is more valuable than mine. I’ll do these chores.”

Gregor said, looking at Locke sincerely.

Locke shook his head slightly. If someone else had said this, he might have thought that he was trying to please him on purpose, but he knew that Gregor didn’t think so.

He was too naive and just thought that this was how students should help their teachers.

Locke glanced at Gregor with complicated eyes.

If a student with this kind of personality falls into the hands of formal wizards who have even a little ill will towards him, he probably won’t get any good results.

This is not just letting others taunt you.

This guy doesn’t even bother to slack off.

The status of a wizard apprentice is already very weak compared to a formal wizard. If he cannot learn to be lazy, he will be treated as a tool by the formal wizard and exhausted to death.

Meeting me was his luck.

Locke handed him three pieces of information and a bottle of Holy Spring Nectar potion. The Holy Spring Nectar potion is a rare recovery medicine for formal wizards.

The original version of the Holy Spring Nectar Potion may be quite ordinary.

However, Locke had previously compared the effects of his improved Holy Spring Nectar potion formula with the Seven Treasures Jade Flower Potion commonly used by wizards in the first ring of Yunze Wetland, and found that they had their merits.

In the area of recovery and removal of negative states, his own Holy Spring Nectar potion was even better.

Gregor was stunned for a moment. “Teacher, you gave me the wrong potion. This is a one-ring potion.”

Locke said, “Just drink it if I give it to you. I’m a potion master, and this is just something I make casually.”

Gregor subconsciously drank the holy spring nectar potion, and his condition immediately returned to its peak, and the toxicity of the potion in his body was greatly eliminated.

The toxicity of the potions in the bodies of the first-class wizard apprentices in Jinmian Mountain is no less than that of the potions in the bodies of wizard apprentices in the outside world.

After all, the more developed the magical civilization in a region, the more developed the science of potions is, and the more potions these apprentices can access.

Otherwise, Gregor wouldn’t have acquired 700 magical pressure in just four years.

This speed is considered abnormal even in Lilith’s cabin.

It took Locke more than five years to achieve this achievement.

That’s because Gregor himself is a son of elements, has received the best magical education, and can enjoy various welfare potions of Golden Crown Mountain at any time.

But because of this, a large amount of drug toxicity actually accumulated in his body.

His original wizard mentor never seemed to remind him, but Locke remembered that wizard apprentices in Golden Crown Mountain would receive a lot of benefits when they broke through.

There seems to be something in it that removes the toxicity of the drug.

Moreover, Jinmian Mountain distributes benefits from time to time, and the previous concert was one of them.

It was a pity that even though he had asked Gregor, no one had informed him to attend, so he missed it.

However, these things are trivial to me.

Locke called out to Gregor, who was about to leave his workstation, “Wait…”

Gregor asked doubtfully, “Teacher?”

The next moment, a primordial fire fell on him, and the magic fire source of water element and the magic flame of fire element burned on his body.

In an instant, Gregor’s whole body was on fire and he turned into a man of fire.

This attracted the attention of Mason Witch and another wizard from Group 6 who were still working at their desks in this office area.

Meanwhile, Gregor was petrified, but out of trust in Locke, he didn’t resist at all.

Soon, Locke stretched out his hand and the primordial fire returned to his palm.

Locke said, “Okay, I’ll help you completely cleanse the poison from the potion. In the meantime, drink this bottle of potion.”

Gregor foolishly took the heart-shaped potion.

This is an improved formula version of the Weeping Nightshade Potion that Locke discovered using the synthetic Rubik’s Cube. Locke named it Advanced Weeping Nightshade Potion.

Ordinary Blood-Bleeding Nightshade Potion will not have any effect on the Sons of Elements, but the improved Blood-Bleeding Nightshade Potion can improve one’s own talent by 2 levels if ten bottles are taken every month, so it can help improve the qualifications of the Sons of Elements.

Locke estimated that after continuously taking the high-level Blood-Weeping Nightshade potion, Gregor should be able to possess twice the talent of an ordinary elemental child.

However, this would require him to spend an extra thousand magic stones from Gregor every month, and he would also have to refine ten bottles of high-grade Blood-Weeping Nightshade potion every month.

After Gregor drank it, he immediately felt a different change in himself.

Locke said, “From now on, I will give you ten bottles of high-grade Blood-Weeping Nightshade Potion every month.”

Gregor looked at Locke gratefully and said, “Thank you, teacher.”

He went out with gratitude and joy in his heart.

At the workstation, after Gregor left, Mason Witch quickly asked Locke, “Locke, was the flame you just saw the primordial fire?”

“I heard that it’s something that potions masters dream of, right? You actually have the Primordial Fire in your hands. Before you came to our Academy of True Knowledge, there was only one second-ring-level potion master in our entire Academy of True Knowledge who possessed the Primordial Fire.”

“Also, that was the special method used by potion masters just now, the [Water and Fire Refining Technique], right?”

Locke admitted it generously. There was nothing to hide anyway. Every wizard in the Academy of True Knowledge was a genius.

Among a group of geniuses, I am not unique in any way.

And only talent can convince geniuses.

Locke said: “Yes, that is the primordial fire.”

The method of combining water and fire was something I learned through practice when I was preparing the lucky potion. In other words, this method of controlling the fire was something that I had to know in order to prepare the lucky potion.

The water-fire refining method can reconcile core materials with conflicting medicinal properties, and can also cleanse the wizard’s body, remove the toxicity of potions, and strengthen the physique.

Even the top-level first-ring alchemist might not be able to learn this special method of controlling fire, but it would be different if he possessed the primordial fire.

With the help of the Primordial Fire, he mastered the privileges of the top-level first-ring alchemist – he could use the Primordial Fire to purify the toxicity of potions in his body, and he could also use the Primordial Fire to strengthen his body.

This is a special fire method that can help a first-level wizard purify the toxicity of potions. It is easy to naturally remove the toxicity of potions from the apprentice’s body.

However, not many people can master it. Without the Primordial Fire, many wizards may not be able to master it even if they have reached the second-ring alchemy master level.

This is also the difficulty in configuring the lucky potion.

Another wizard in the office had a twinkle in his eyes. “I’ve heard that you’re a potion master, Locke, but I never thought you’d achieve such success in the field of potions.”

“Almost as good as your achievements in breeding.”

“That student of yours is quite lucky. He is so lucky to have a powerful potion master like you as his mentor.”

Witch Mason smiled and said, “Indeed, I’m not a potion master, nor do I possess the Primordial Fire, so I won’t take the initiative to remove the poison from my students’ bodies. I’d also like to find someone to help me remove the remaining poison from my body.”

“I have two students who recently experienced severe side effects from taking too many potions. Their hands and feet are shaking when they walk. I heard that they are looking to buy Void Gems to purify the toxicity of the potions in their bodies.”

“Also, Jinmian Mountain distributes benefits to students every month, and they are allocated some wizard tea from Luxu Bridge. Even the most common wizard tea from Luxu Bridge is the top-tier wizard tea of its grade, and can purify the toxicity of potions.”

“Well, the apprentices usually drink the Cuizhu Baihao tea, cultivated by the tea art masters of Luxu Bridge. It’s a white tea mixed with green tea. Tea art master is a niche wizard profession separated from the breeder field.” Another wizard asked Xiang Locke tentatively, “But, may I ask, what is the effect of the advanced Weeping Blood Nightshade potion? I haven’t heard of this apprentice-level potion before.”

“Locke, what is that? Is it a potion from another wizarding land?”

Locke nodded, “Yes. But I improved it.”

He briefly explained the function.

The Mason witch and the wizard named Newt who were present were all stunned when they heard this.

Consistently taking it every month can increase your wizard talent by 2 levels!

Ordinary wizards in the Academy of True Knowledge also have teaching requirements. They must teach at least one formal wizard before they can meet the conditions for graduation!

This resulted in the two of them either thinking about their own projects or about upgrading their magic levels every day. They also had to think about how to quickly increase the magic pressure of potential students to 800, and then have them drink a bottle of upgrading potion and be done with it.

Locke looked at the two of them, smiled slightly and said, “Why, you two want it too?”

Witch Mason and Wizard Newt nodded quickly.

Wizard Newt said, “Locke, money is easy to talk about. You set the conditions. But I won’t deny that I really want it. You know how miserable I feel every day when I see those stupid students of mine asking me stupid questions and advancing slower than the stupidest snail.”

“It’s just sheer stupidity!”

“Anyway, if you have such an excellent improved formula, then I want it too.”

Mason quickly followed, raising her left hand. “And me.”

Locke thought about it and realized that the cost of this potion was only one hundred magic stones.

No matter how rare an apprentice-level potion is, it is only limited to the apprentice level. Common sense limits the upper limit of its price, and it is impossible to sell it too expensively.

Selling a bottle for a thousand magic stones is unreasonable and a bit shameless.

If you ask for money, it’s impossible to get too much.

It’s also easy to offend people.

Therefore, you still need to think about whether you want to do this business.

Wizard Newt noticed Locke’s hesitation. As a shrewd person, he immediately understood Locke’s reluctance and said, “I won’t use magic stones to buy it. I’ll only pay the cost price with magic stones. I’ll use part of the labor of my five students in exchange. All you need is to give me one set every month, that is, ten bottles of high-grade Blood-Weeping Nightshade.”

“My five students are already familiar with the work of the Zhenzhi Academy. It will be absolutely no problem for you to ask them to do some odd jobs.”

Wizard Newt said, “Today is my fifth year. I meet all the other requirements for leaving the station, but I have a problem with being a student.”

“If the student I have high hopes for this year doesn’t become a formal wizard, then I will have to postpone his graduation for a year. As you know, I can only postpone it twice at most. In other words, if he still hasn’t become a formal wizard by then, then as his mentor… I will have wasted seven years.”

Wizard Newt’s face turned pale when he thought of this.

He never expected that as a wizard mentor, he had worked hard for a long time and was about to succeed, but in the end he would fall to his six useless students.

Locke’s advanced weeping nightshade potion gave him hope.

Locke also realized that there was no longer any competition between him and Wizard Newt, so he could directly use his five students who had been trained by him for five years.

Witch Mason on the side wanted to speak up, she also wanted to provide students, but she suddenly realized that this was only her third year in the Academy of True Knowledge.

She herself is still short of students to work with.

So, realizing that Locke had no interest in trading with her, the Mason witch had no choice but to shut up.

Although relying on their relationship as colleagues and the fact that she and Locke have become good friends during this period, perhaps she could use the fact that she owes him a favor to force Locke to complete the deal.

But Mason Witch is different from Newt Wizard.

She didn’t have such a strong need for her students to become official wizards as soon as possible, so there was naturally no need to expend favors in advance.

Wizard Newt said, “However, I wonder if you can use the water and fire refining method to help my student purify the toxic potion in his body.”

“He had taken a promotion potion before, and a strong toxicity remained in his body. Although there are still many things in Golden Crown Mountain that can purify the toxicity, I have already spent all my research funds, and he himself has little savings…”

“Apprentice-level resources are difficult to completely purify the toxicity of the potion.”

“Especially in his situation.”

Locke nodded slightly. “If that’s the case, then this deal can go ahead.”

Anyway, using the water and fire refining method to purify the toxicity of the potion in an apprentice’s body, and providing ten more bottles of high-level weeping nightshade potion every month, it is not a big deal for me.

If you think about it carefully, you already have to refine ten bottles every month, so when refining, preparing twice as much apprentice-level potion does not consume too much of your time and energy.

A smile crossed Newt’s face. “Then the deal is done.”

“I’ll tell my five students right now.”

Wizard Newt felt a joy of seeing hope. He was indeed afraid that the students would be forced to delay their graduation because they did not advance to official wizards in time.

And if it is delayed twice and he still has no students who can be promoted to official wizards, he will be depressed to death.

Locke left his work area and went to his magic field on the banyan tree on Dahongshan Mountain to plant a new type of pineapple.

Two weeks later, Locke received help from five new skilled wizard apprentices. During this time, he discovered eight new species of pineapple magic plants that had a symbiotic relationship with the reproductive power of specific magical creatures.

Now, he has accumulated preliminary experimental data for seventeen types of pineapple magical plants.

At the same time, Locke asked Gregor to organize the documents he needed and went to the large round table conference room on the third floor of the Zhenzhiyuan Castle.

He is going to attend the Zhenzhi Academy project fund defense.

After the completion report of the Zhenzhiyuan Project Fund in Jinmianshan is delivered and passed the review, a final defense will be held to allow experts to accept the completeness of the project completion.

And conduct academic evaluation to see whether it is valuable and expand it into a more advanced Zhenzhi Academy project fund.

At the same time, there are some other functions, such as business evaluation, inviting some wizards from the Golden Crown Mountain Shop Alliance to come and see if they are interested.

Form an alliance between industry and academia.

However, under normal circumstances, it is only a third-class Zhenzhi Academy fund project. Even if the wizards from the Shop Alliance come, they will just do it perfunctorily and just come to take a look.

If a wizard from the store alliance discovers an article or technology that is worth cooperating with, they will most likely form a partnership with the wizard directly after the defense.
