Chapter 156: Longling Ranch, Bloodline and True Spirit
Astral calendar year 1258, the month of Spring Dawn (March).

The Dragon Skeleton Tower was finally repaired.

Southern Jiangsu started the base relocation work as soon as possible.

Mainly Base No. 1.

The facilities in the Dragon Skeleton Tower are basically the same as those in Base No. 1, and they are more comprehensive and complete.

If there are no facilities like insect nests, you can just choose a room and renovate it.

The overall migration went very smoothly.

From now on, the apprentices’ daily living, training and learning will all be carried out in Dragon Forest.

The top floor of the Dragon Skeleton Tower.

Su Nan stood in front of the control center, staring at the three-dimensional model intently.

【Ecological Park: Longlin】

[Level: Large (Damage 48.23%)]

[Current remaining energy: 95.23%]

[Intelligent Assisted Life: Butler No. 1]

[Area: Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3]

[Facilities (Dragon Skeleton Tower): Residential area, warehouse area, experimental area, training area, workshop area, transformation area control center, element pool (micro), insect nest]

【仆从：黏土魔像×423、花精×52、森林之子×3、红眼乌鸦×67、格利精×1】

[Protective device: Large space barrier]

[Battle Equipment: Golem Legion (Stone Golem × 426, Double-blade Spider × 85, Elite Stone Golem × 20, Iron Golem × 5)]

Looking at the data marked next to the three-dimensional model, Sunan nodded with satisfaction.

After more than half a month of charging, the elemental pool is almost full.

Restoration of Zone 2 has also begun.

Although it is just the beginning, with the help of the clay golem and flower spirit he brought from Base 1, the recovery speed should be much faster in the future.

"If Zone 1 is to maintain optimal operation, it will occupy 35.12% of the energy cycle."

"After Area 2 is restored, before the new dragons are put into use, it only needs to maintain the minimum operating status, which will require 53.66% of the energy cycle."

“That adds up to 88.78 percent.”

Nearly 90% of the energy ratio!
If we add the 3% of the minimum energy required for zone 3.06 to maintain operation, the proportion will exceed %.

The 3.06% here refers to the minimum energy cycle required to maintain the operation of Zone 3, which is mainly the daily operation of various facilities in the Dragon Skeleton Tower, including routine applications such as lighting, experiments, conversion, etc.

The energy cycle usage beyond this depends on the energy consumption of the wizard's (apprentice's) experiments and the energy consumed in making potions, magic items, puppets, etc.

There is no upper limit in this regard.

Sunan checked the past energy consumption records through Butler No. 1.

A thousand years ago in Longlin, the period of peak energy consumption of the Dragon Skeleton Tower once occupied as much as 47.23% of the energy cycle!
At one point, the energy circulation in Areas 1 and 2 almost collapsed.

"Fortunately, we don't have to worry about this kind of thing for now."

Sunan muttered to himself.

He is the only third-level wizard apprentice in the base now, and there are not many second-level wizard apprentices.

The energy consumed in experiments and production can take up 10% of the energy cycle, which would be a huge waste.

In addition, Zone 2 has not yet been actually put into use, so there is no need to worry about insufficient energy circulation.

"The number of troops has also increased a lot."

Originally, there were only more than 100 stone golems in Longlin, but with the arrival of the base's garrison forces, the total number of golems has now exceeded 500.

However, the increase in military strength is of little use.

Longlin is a semi-dimensional space, semi-isolated from the material world. Except for the transmission channel controlled by Su Nan, no one else can enter.

Unless he is a wizard who is powerful enough to tear the space barrier and has mastered the coordinates of Longlin space.

However, it is impossible for such a person to exist in the current Starlight Continent.

So there is basically no need to worry about external enemies attacking Longlin.

Perhaps it was because of this that the original builders did not construct any combat equipment to defend against foreign enemies, and only stationed a small number of golems.

These golems are probably used to capture the sub-dragon species in the Dragon Forest.

Therefore, the advanced stone golems and elite double-blade spiders in Base No. 1 were transferred by Sunan to the Star Alliance.

Today, Base No. 1 is basically just an empty shell, with nothing else except the Magic Plant Garden.

Of course, Sunan did not intend to abandon Base No. 1.

It will serve as a transit station for the transfer of materials between Longlin and the surface world.

The same is true for Base No. 2.

With Long Lin's teleportation array, Sunan can now travel quickly between the surface and the underground world without having to build an additional Base No. 2.

The facilities in Base No. 2 have been moved into Longlin, leaving only the Magic Plant Garden and a space passage leading to Longlin, which will serve as a transit station for the future transfer of materials between Longlin and the underground world.

"If we only have one base, we won't have to travel back and forth anymore, and many things will be much more convenient."

Sunan smiled with a relaxed look.

"There is no need to open up a magic plant garden in the future. Separating an area from Area 2 will be enough to grow magic plants."

Longlin is different from the outside world. As long as the energy supply is continuous, the concentration of energy particles can always be maintained at a high level, which is sufficient for the growth of magic plants.

A piece of land randomly marked out in Area 2 would be as large as more than ten magic plantations outside.

"It's time to put the taming of sub-dragon species on the agenda."

Su Nan stretched out his hand and touched the void, and a picture suddenly appeared in front of him.

The picture shows a steep mountain wall full of caves, and creatures covered with bright golden scales, like a combination of a dragon and an antelope, flying in and out of the caves.

The dragon oryx, a powerful and graceful subdragon species.

Thousands of years ago, it was domesticated as a mount by many legendary knights.

They are a fairly simple species of dragon, loyal to their masters and extremely powerful in combat.

An adult dragon antelope has the power of a first-ring legendary, and will gradually become stronger as it ages, up to a third-ring legendary.

As early as when he discovered the many dragon species in the Dragon Forest, Sunan had the idea of ​​forming a dragon cavalry.

After days of selection, he finally chose Longling.

In addition to the dragon antelope's loyalty and strong fighting ability, the dragon antelope also likes to live in deep caves far away from civilization, and is naturally highly adaptable to dark environments.

This also ensures that their combat effectiveness will not be weakened even in the dark and humid environment of the underground world.

The Dragon Antelope Cavalry Army, just thinking about it is so powerful!

However, taming a sub-dragon species is a very time-consuming and laborious task.

Adult dragon antelopes are basically impossible to tame, and the only way to tame them is to start from juveniles.

Sub-dragons inherited some characteristics of dragons, including extremely slow growth.

Even if some means of catalyzing growth are used in the middle, it will take at least ten years to raise a young dragon antelope to adulthood.

"The Knight Guard is still too weak. There isn't even a Grand Knight. They still need time to grow."

"Start taming the dragon antelope from now on. After more than ten years, when the Knight Guards have caught up in strength, they can be paired with the dragon antelope."

After thinking for a while, Sunan already had a complete plan in his mind. He stretched out his hand and drew a line on the three-dimensional model, dividing out an area as a place for taming dragon antelopes in the future.

"Let's just call it Longling Ranch."

After the site is divided, Butler No. 1 will naturally arrange for the clay golem to take charge of specific matters. Sunan then came to the main laboratory in the transformation area, which was a large laboratory that belonged to him alone.

Yinlong was already waiting in the laboratory. When he saw Su Nan coming, he crawled up to him and rubbed his chest affectionately.

"Sorry for the long wait." Su Nan smiled and patted Yinlong's head.

With sufficient high-level sub-dragon blood, Hidden Dragon's bloodline has improved by leaps and bounds during this period.

Now that his bloodline concentration had exceeded 50%, his combat effectiveness had also broken through to the three-ring legendary level.

The improvement of bloodline and strength also made the hidden dragon bigger.

The length from head to tail is more than thirty meters, and even when it is lying on the ground, its height is close to four meters.

If it weren't for the ability to become virtual, Hidden Dragon's movements within the Dragon Skeleton Tower would definitely be very restricted.

"The Dragon Linria dragon bloodline concentration is the highest in the Devil Tyrannosaurus, 85.37%."

"Once this limit is exceeded, the speed at which the concentration of Hidden Dragon Bloodline increases will slow down significantly."

"After that, if we improve it to 90%, we should be able to break through to the fourth-ring legend."

Su Nan was thinking, but his movements were not slow. He completed the blood fusion operation for Yinlong with ease.

Yinlong now has to perform an average of three operations every month, and the time in between is used to digest the power of his bloodline.

The high frequency of blood fusion operations also brought a lot of proficiency to Sunan's [Biotransformation] skills.

Sunan estimated that in two or three months, the [Biotransformation] skill would be able to be upgraded to level 4.

Time flies, and it is the month of flowing fire (July) in a blink of an eye.

Just after the beginning of the month, Sunan successfully constructed the sixteenth star ring.

【Sunan Yanest, human male】

[Spirit 50.93/Physique 45.88]

【Skill】

Star Ring Meditation Lv17 (130/5000000)

Potion making Lv4 (8635/10000)

Biotransformation Lv4 (529/10000)

Puppet Refining Lv5 (1023/20000)

Magic Item Manufacturing Lv4 (5477/10000)

"There are still two star rings missing."

Sunan breathed a sigh of relief.

He now practices the Star Ring Meditation every day to increase his proficiency, which has increased to about 4800 points as his mental strength grows.

At this rate, it would take more than two years to build the seventeenth star ring.

"We should be able to build the remaining two star rings within eight years."

"By then, even if my mental strength hasn't reached 60 yet, it should be close to it."

With the pure divine energy provided by the Death Knell Beetle, Sunan's mental strength is now growing much faster than before.

"I need to find a way to improve my physical condition."

Just last month, Sunan gathered all the materials needed to refine a magic pattern core and successfully refined the fourth magic pattern core.

But the problem now is that his mental and physical strength are not enough to bear the level 4 magic pattern core, so it has not been integrated.

The fusion requirements for the level 4 magic pattern core are a spirit of 51.22 and a physique of 54.39.

In terms of spirituality, Sunan estimated that he would be able to reach the standard after absorbing divine energy twice more.

Although the physical condition is quite poor, it is still easy to improve with the dragon blood fruit.

After all, his current physical fitness of 45.88 is roughly the level of an intermediate knight, and is still far from a legendary knight.

"Without the fusion of blood, the improvement of physical fitness will be slow."

Having said that, if Sunan had to choose, he would rather chew dragon blood fruit to slowly strengthen his body than fuse his bloodline casually.

Although the fusion of blood can increase strength immediately, the price to pay is that the future growth space will be greatly narrowed.

Take the Death Knell Ringer as an example. Once you have integrated the Death Knell Ringer's bloodline, no matter how much you improve your strength in the future, it will be difficult to surpass the power level of the source of the Death Knell Ringer's bloodline, that is, the ancient beast Hissing Insect.

It is precisely because of this defect in blood fusion that the wizard's subsequent promotion path is divided into two major routes: bloodline and true spirit.

Sunan's goal has always been the True Spirit Route.

Only true spirit wizards can be promoted to the highest level.

"The research on the replacement metal for the magic pattern core is almost complete."

There are a total of eighty-nine alternative metals in the materials of the magic pattern core. Except for the twenty that can be purchased with gold coins, Sunan has researched sixty-seven of the remaining sixty-nine alternative metals, leaving only the last two.

It will take at most one or two months to complete.

After that, as long as his mental and physical fitness can keep up, he will be able to infinitely strengthen the magic pattern core.

Late at night, in a cabin in the jungle.

The moonlight shines through the window, illuminating the situation inside the house.

There were eight people sitting around the long, wide table.

Except for the hunters, all other members of the jungle lodge were present, which was rare.

Surprisingly, the traveler was also present.

"How strange, I didn't expect you to come here too." The Scepter looked at the traveler in surprise.

"I thought you had died somewhere." There was a hint of malice in Wang Hai's tone.

Ignoring the corpse's words, the traveler shrugged at the scepter and said, "I encountered some problems before, but thanks to the players, it has been resolved. I will actively participate in the party in the future."

Everyone looked at Su Nan in surprise. They didn't expect that these two people would meet outside the forest hut.

"By the way, where's the other new member?" The traveler looked around curiously, then frowned in disappointment, "He's not here?"

"It's obvious." Heilin said nonchalantly, "I guess he was held up by something."

In the jungle cabin, this was a very normal thing and no one cared about it, continuing the transaction process as usual.

When it was the traveler's turn, he looked at the scepter and said sincerely: "Scepter, I want the key to the Tower of Stars. It is very important to me. If possible, please name a price and trade it to me!"

The Scepter was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "Sorry, the key to the Tower of Stars is also very important to me, I don't plan to trade it out."

"Don't waste your energy, traveler." Helin said carelessly, "If the scepter was willing to be traded, I would have done it long ago. How could it be your turn?"

When the hunters first attended the party, only Heilin and the Traveler were absent.

Afterwards, Heilin learned that the hunter had taken out the key to the Tower of Stars at that party. He could not help but feel deeply regretful. At the next party, he proposed to trade with the Scepter, but was rejected without hesitation by the Scepter.

Hearing this, the traveler sighed in disappointment, but stopped insisting and took out a few bottles of dragon blood and placed them on the table.

"If anyone wants it, name your price."

Everyone looked at Su Nan at the same time.

Whenever dragon blood appeared in previous gatherings, it would eventually be won by Sunan through bidding.

Over time, they all knew that Sunan was determined to get the Asian dragon blood, so they stopped competing with him for it.

But to everyone's surprise, this time Su Nan shook his head.

"I do not need."

Everyone looked at each other.

Only travelers know that Sunan, who owns an entire ecological park, has no shortage of sub-dragon blood.
