Synthesis Wizard.

Chapter 142 He is not interested in the Tower of Stars?

Astral Calendar Year 1256, the Autumn Month (October).

The chill in the air is already palpable, and the snow may fall earlier this year than in previous years.

Meditation room.

Su Nan sat cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.

The fifteenth star ring was constructed successfully!
"Only three star rings are left."

Su Nan heaved a long sigh of relief, suppressed the joy in his heart, and opened the panel.

【Sunan Yanest, human male】

[Spirit 48.03/Physique 43.77]

【Skill】

Star Ring Meditation Lv16 (23/3000000)

Potion making Lv4 (8345/10000)

Biotransformation Lv3 (3025/6000)

Puppet Refining Lv5 (374/20000)

Magic Item Manufacturing Lv4 (5031/10000)

"It will take about two years to reach proficiency of three million at the current rate of progress."

"But if I can use divine energy to increase my mental strength, I should be able to speed up even more."

The corners of Su Nan's mouth slightly raised.

The remaining three star rings should be completed within ten years.

At that time, only mental strength and talent crystallization will remain.

Looking down, among the four skills, the level of [Puppet Refining] is upgraded the fastest, reaching level 5.

After all, Sunan has been frantically refining various golems in recent years, and his proficiency has increased rapidly.

On the contrary, the potion making that was originally far ahead was the problem, because most of the low-level potions were given to the apprentices in the base to make, Sunan only needed to synthesize them. As he made less, his proficiency naturally increased slowly.

The same goes for magic item creation and creature modification, which are being practiced less and less.

Especially the latter, which is only used to upgrade the bloodline of Hidden Dragon and Deathstroke Beater, and the proficiency has hardly increased.

Having said that, he is the only one in the entire Starlight Continent who can upgrade the four major skills to this level during the wizard apprentice stage.

Other apprentices don't have as many resources as he does to practice.

Stretching, Sunan took out the key to the trading house, waited patiently for a while, and then he felt that the key was activated.

He immediately turned the key and entered the forest cabin.

Tonight is the March gathering of the Jungle Cabin.

The new member didn’t attend the last party because Ye Xiao said he had something to do, but he should be able to come this time.

After opening his eyes, Sunan looked around and indeed found a new member.

The other party was wearing a gray robe, and judging from the faintly visible enchanted patterns, it was obviously a magical item.

The robe covered the body tightly, and the only part exposed was the face, which was covered by a simple white mask.

The other members of the Jungle Lodge were also looking at the new member calmly.

After waiting patiently for a while and seeing that no one else came in, Night Owl announced the start of the party.

"First, let me introduce the new member to you. This is the ninth wizard apprentice of the Forest Lodge."

Night Owl turned and looked at the gray-robed man wearing a white mask.

"According to the rules, the true identities of all members of the Jungle Lodge are kept confidential and must not be disclosed. For the sake of convenience, we all have our own code names. You can choose one too."

The gray-robed man hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's call him Hunter."

As the gray-robed man's low voice fell, the word "Hunter" slowly appeared on the table in front of him.

"Welcome, Hunter."

Night Owl smiled slightly.

"Next, let's start tonight's business."

What follows is the familiar transaction process.

Except for Heilin and the Traveler, all other members were present and took out items to trade with each other.

The hunter observed the transaction process calmly, and soon he discovered that the wizard apprentice called Player seemed to have a lot of resources.

Not only did he take out a large number of first-level potions and alchemical-grade magic items for trading, but when he bought things from others, he actually used extremely rare magic stones!

And judging from the way other people seemed to be used to it, it seemed that this was not the only situation happening at tonight's party.

As if noticing the hunter's surprise, the Scepter sitting next to him smiled and explained in a low voice: "The player is the richest among us and has a lot of resources. Since he joined the Jungle Lodge, the transactions of our organization have risen by several levels."

"I see."

The hunter looked at Sunan in surprise.

Noticing his gaze, Su Nan turned his head and nodded slightly.

The hunter nodded quickly in greeting.

He could see that everyone else's attitude toward Su Nan was a little respectful.

This is obviously not just because the other party has a lot of resources, but more likely because of the other party's strength.

This is a third-level wizard apprentice with profound background and powerful strength.

The hunter made a judgment in his heart.

The transaction went on very quickly, and the hunter made two moves during the transaction, purchasing a bottle of first-level potion and two sungrass from Sunan and Qiangwei respectively.

Soon, it was the hunter's turn to sell items.

What surprised everyone was that what he took out was a stone with runes engraved on it.

Su Nan's expression under the mask suddenly became very strange.

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, the hunter spoke meaningfully:
"Here's a key, everyone."

"The key to the Tower of Stars!"

As soon as the words fell, the five people present except Su Nan were all shocked.

"The Tower of Stars, one of the three great inheritances?"

"real or fake?!"

"Do you know where the Tower of Stars is?"

Even the Night Owl couldn't help but cast a look of astonishment at the hunter.

He never expected that the hunter's first transaction after joining the jungle hut would be something so heavyweight!
The premise is that what the hunter said is true.

As if he had thought of something, a thoughtful look appeared in Night Owl's eyes.

The Scepter was the first to come to his senses and asked in a deep voice: "How do you prove that what you said is true?"

The hunter seemed to have expected this situation, and said slowly: "I can make a vow contract."

After hearing what the hunter said, everyone no longer had any doubts, and their gazes towards the rune stone suddenly became particularly scorching.

That’s the Tower of Stars!

One of the only three wizard inheritances in the Starlight Continent!

It is said that as long as one can enter it, there is a great hope of being promoted to a formal wizard.

In the Starlight Continent where elements are scarce and resources are barren, this is almost the only hope for these third-level wizard apprentices to be promoted to wizards!
"The Tower of Stars opens once every twenty years, and the location it appears in each time is random and not fixed. Only those who hold the key can find the Tower of Stars and enter it. As far as I know, the next time the Tower of Stars opens will be in ten years."

After hearing the hunter's words, everyone's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Make an offer." The hoarse voice of the dead body could not hide the passion, and his eyes were fixed on the hunter. "What do you want to trade?"

The hunter didn't say anything, but looked at Sunan.

Seeing this, everyone's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

I almost forgot that there are players here! If he wants the key to the Tower of Stars, no one here can compete with him!

But to their surprise, Sunan shook his head: "I'm not interested, you guys trade it."

The hunter was stunned.

He was also hoping to make a fortune from the wealthy Sunan with the key to the Tower of Stars, but he didn't expect the other party to not play by the rules.

Is he not interested in the Tower of Stars?

It shouldn’t be!

Is there any third-level wizard apprentice in this world who is not interested in the Tower of Stars?
The hunter was puzzled.

Rose, Scepter, Red Heart and Dead Corpse were all stunned, full of confusion, unable to understand why Su Nan was not interested.

Only Night Owl looked calm.

He has figured out the ins and outs of this.

"The Starry Tower, the Principality of Stars, hey, I didn't expect there to be a connection between the two. I used to think it was just a coincidence of the names."

When they came to their senses and saw that the player really had no intention of bidding, everyone was overjoyed.

As long as the players do not participate, their hopes of winning the Star Tower Key are greatly increased.

The hunter was very disappointed and said, "My first choice is potions and gems. Other things can also be considered depending on their value."

As soon as the words fell, the corpse could not wait to make the first bid:
"Gemstones worth 10,000 gold coins, plus five miniature soul crystals!"

Following closely behind, the rest of the people did not want to be left behind and spoke up one after another.

"Two bottles of tranquilizing potion, plus gems worth twenty thousand gold coins!"

"A gem worth thirty thousand gold coins!"

Prices are rising.

This is probably the most competitive transaction since the establishment of the Jungle Lodge.

Everyone looked determined to get the key.

Su Nan sat calmly aside, watching the five people bidding against each other.

If possible, he certainly also wants the key to the Tower of Stars.

Although I already have it, I can give it to Keyi.

But looking at the looks of Ye Xiao and the others, it was obvious that they were determined to get the key and were willing to pay a high price for it.

If I have to pay a lot of money to get the key, I would like to decline it.

Anyway, the purpose of letting Key enter the Tower of Stars is to get the Dawn Potion that can prolong life. At worst, he can wait for him to enter the Tower of Stars later and then find a way to get a bottle for Key.

Compared to the fight for the key to the Tower of Stars, Sunan was more curious about how the hunter got this thing.

After all, as far as he knew, the key to the Tower of Stars seemed to be only possessed by Evans.

"Could it be that the hunter knows Evans? Or did he snatch it from Evans?"

"Come to think of it, Night Owl once said that the Hunter escaped from Sauro of the Eternal Life Society. Does this incident have anything to do with the Eternal Life Society?"

Several possibilities flashed through Su Nan's mind.

Just then, the bidding for the key to the Tower of Stars finally ended.

In the end, the Scepter won the key to the Tower of Stars at the high price of thirteen bottles of tranquilizing potion and gems worth sixty-two thousand gold coins.

Sunan was not surprised by this result.

After all, before he joined the Jungle Lodge, Scepter was the most generous member of the Jungle Lodge.

And if his guess was correct, and the scepter really came from the royal family of the Cangjin Empire, then it would explain his lavish spending.

The Cangjin Empire is the most powerful country in the southeastern region of the continent, without a doubt.

The tranquilizing potion is a first-level potion that assists meditation and is worth about three hundred gold coins.

In the end, the Scepter spent nearly 66,000 gold coins to obtain the key to the Tower of Stars.

This price is quite high.

But judging by the appearance of the scepter, it was obvious that he was very satisfied with the result.

Rose, Red Heart and Dead Body looked somewhat unwilling.

It’s a pity that their wealth is not as good as others, so no matter how unwilling they are, they can only hold it in.

Sunan looked at the hunter deeply.

Since the other party is willing to trade the key to the Tower of Stars, it means that he has another key, or perhaps more than one.

Perhaps the same transaction will happen again in the future.

Frost month (November).

White snow flakes fall to the ground.

The snow fell early this year.

Compared to the freezing cold surface where the wind is howling, the underground world is just a little cooler.

The human-faced sphinx warriors in Youhu City are still walking around the streets with their upper bodies naked.

In base No. 2, laboratory.

The large workbench was filled with densely packed test tubes, each of which contained blood drawn from the body of the bell ringer, with a uniform capacity of 100 ml.

"This much blood should be enough."

Su Nan murmured to himself, opened the Rubik's Cube and put the blood in one by one, his eyes fixed on the synthesis interface.

As more and more blood is put in, the blood concentration on the synthetic interface continues to increase.

59.13% 64.79% 71.34% 84.11%
When there were less than eight test tubes left on the workbench, the blood concentration on the synthetic interface finally exceeded 100%, and then the information suddenly changed.

[The blood of the Hissing Insect, purity 1.25%, contains 1 standard unit of divine energy. After being injected into the human body, there is a very small chance of fusion with the Hissing Insect bloodline, but a very high chance of rejection. In severe cases, it can lead to death. The stronger the physique and spirit, the higher the success rate of fusion and the lower the rejection reaction.]

"Success!"

Sunan was overjoyed.

It was just as he thought. Even without increasing the blood concentration of the bell ringer, divine energy could be created by synthesizing blood.

Although judging from the caption, the divine energy contained in it is very little, it at least proves that his method is correct.

Sunan immediately began to extract the divine energy from the blood and absorbed it immediately.

Unlike the divine energy obtained from gods, the divine energy in this naturally generated divine creature has no power of faith and is not polluted by faith. It is very pure and can be absorbed directly.

After digesting the divine energy, Sunan opened the panel and found that his spirit had increased by 0.25.

"Not bad!"

Sunan smiled with satisfaction.

After all, there is only 1 standard unit of divine energy, which is far less than the amount extracted from the divine remains. It is already very good to have a 0.25 increase in spirit.

The key is that this is sustainable.

As long as the bell ringer is still there, blood can be continuously extracted to artificially create divine energy, which is equivalent to having an additional means to regularly increase mental strength.

"It takes about eight months of blood to produce one standard unit of divine energy."

"On average, I can increase my mental strength by about 0.37 per year."

"No, that's not right. It will be harder to improve your mental strength as time goes on. The subsequent increase should gradually decrease."

"But even so, it can shorten the time it takes for my mental strength to break through level 60."

Sunan thought of the bell ringer who was imprisoned in the detention area.

Considering that it has made such a great contribution, we will take it out of the confinement area and move it to a more comfortable environment.

Otherwise, living in a dark prison and having blood drawn every day will sooner or later lead to depression.

Of course, the defense still needs to be tighter.

Since we don't need the adamantine golem right now, we'll just let it guard the bell ringer.
