Chapter 213: Mental Power Soars
Chapter 213: Mental Power Soars
Ivan sat cross-legged on the stone pier in the middle. The rune lines carved on the surface of the stone pier came alive, emitting a faint light. The light spread around along the rune lines, lighting up the four stone piers distributed around, and then activating the entire rune wizard formation.
A black wind rose, floating above the small square and swirling around the witch formation.
Under the influence of the black magic wind, the special aura that permeated the magic stone mine and was omnipresent was attracted and gathered towards the witch formation.
The special aura that permeates the magic stone mine is essentially the original power of the magic stone mine, which can produce one batch of magic stone after another. However, the aura itself is difficult to utilize and is far less convenient than the magic stone.
The Black Magic Wind and Fire Array can undoubtedly solve this problem, and the special aura that is drawn over will be transformed into pure spiritual energy through the array, and then transformed into Black Magic Wind.
The wind turns to fire, and the black magic fire rises.
The black magic wind did not dissipate. Together with the black magic fire, the wind and fire complemented each other and further refined the spiritual energy.
"Not enough, it still needs to be adjusted."
Under Ivan's control, the surging momentum of the black magic wind and fire came to an abrupt halt.
He had promised to strive for perfection, so whenever he noticed any flaws, he would stop and make more detailed adjustments to the rune array.
This adjustment took a week, and Ivan was finally ready. He placed a large number of medium-quality magic stones in various parts of the rune magic formation and placed two high-quality magic stones as primers.
The rune magic formation was activated once again, and after a while, black magic wind and fire arose. The wind and fire enveloped the small square, causing the Queen Silkworm and other insects guarding the surroundings to feel a burst of horrible palpitations.
"Will it work this time?" Xiangdie looked at the breath that was being pulled, feeling both eager and worried.
"Nonsense, when has Wizard Ivan ever failed?" The Queen of Silkworms stared at Ivan who was in the black wind and fire, and it was clear that she was more worried than anyone else.
In the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array, Ivan was taking bits of refined spiritual energy into his body and transforming it into his own spiritual power through meditation.
He behaved extremely restrained, but the speed at which his mental strength increased was still considerable.
42.5 scale
43.3 scale
44.0 scale——
52.4 scale
I don't know how much time has passed, the special aura that was drawn over became thinner and thinner. Ivan resisted the temptation to improve his strength and stopped absorbing the surrounding energy.
"Because too much is too much, there is not much special aura left nearby. If I continue to increase my strength, it may leave hidden dangers." He murmured. The pleasure brought by the increase in strength can only be experienced by practitioners, but not everyone can resist this temptation and step on the brakes in time.
Ivan checked himself and found that his mental strength had reached 53.5 scales. This time the improvement directly exceeded ten scales. It was a fruitful harvest.
He pointed to one side casually, and a wisp of black magic wind flew out, rolled up the gray bronze door not far from the ground, rolled it into the rune magic formation, and floated in front of him.
The black magic fire burned fiercely, lingering around the gray bronze door and burning. The power of the flame rushed into the interior of the gray bronze door and began to burn the unknown rune lines inside.
“It’s so tenacious, I wonder which enchanter did this.” Seeing that the unknown rune lines did not move at all, he drew more wind and fire, causing the power of the black magic fire to rise to a higher level in an instant.
The unknown rune lines were like impurities, and began to turn invisible in the burning until they disappeared completely.
At this time, the gray copper door had turned into a ball of soft mud, and the copper color was bright. Just as he had analyzed before, this was a material that was extremely sensitive to spiritual energy, and it was perfect for engraving the power of the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array.
"It can be used to enchant and refine equipment. At least one intermediate level enchanted item can be made."
Ivan felt that his 1900 magic stones were not wasted. As for whether to use them to make magical items and what kind of magical items to make, he needed more thought and consideration.
"Ivan, what's going on?" When the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array stopped running, the Queen Silkworm couldn't wait to get closer.
"Very good." Ivan introduced the remaining energy from refining into the medicine liquid, causing a ball of inky energy to appear in the large glass bottle, and then he stopped.
"This is for you. Remember to use it with caution."
Seeing the envious look on the Silkworm Queen's face, Ivan casually handed the large glass to her. Although he did not use the rest, it had been tempered many times and would definitely cost more than a thousand magic stones if it were put into the market.
"Okay, I know how to use it. Just like when you do experiments, I won't do it recklessly." The Queen Silkworm took it happily and made a promise.
It has been with Ivan for so long that it has learned a lot and knows how to best improve the Swift Wood Silkworm clan.
Ivan also believed in the Silkworm Queen on this point and was willing to leave it to her.
Ivan's own strength has improved a lot this time, and he needs some time to adapt, which is just the right time to think about a few questions, such as how to attract the special aura from farther away, or even the special aura that permeates the entire magic stone mine.
There is also the use of gray copper that makes up the 'Gate of Dark Blood', and how to properly combine it with the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array.
……
The hut in the Mona Ant Farm. The hunting team and the chief steward's office.
Andaya was no longer as aloof as before, and kept finding topics to chat with Chris Donald. If outsiders saw her like this, they would be shocked.
"I really underestimated Wizard Ivan. Both his enchantment skills and his personal strength have reached this level in a short period of time." Andaya sighed.
Calculated in terms of wizard time, Ivan has not been a wizard for a long time, but his achievements are impressive. With such a helper, their plans will be more likely to succeed.
"Can you find out who is offering a bounty on Wizard Ivan?"
"It's difficult. Those forces are quite trustworthy."
"Forget it then. I'm sure Wizard Ivan knows what's going on. With his current strength, unless the person who offered the bounty on him offers more chips, not many people will make a move."
Life is obviously more important than resources. According to the news sent back a few months ago, the bounty-hunting Ivan has become a leader among the first-level wizards. Those who want to target him naturally have to consider their own strength.
What's more, the other party is very fast at running. Once he flies into the air with the help of the beast, it is difficult for others to catch up. What happened in Liuyunfang Gathering can well illustrate this problem.
"Where did Wizard Ivan go? We don't have to keep waiting like this, right? I've already prepared everything and am just waiting for the real boss to show up." Andaya couldn't help but ask.
"Don't be in a hurry. We've been waiting for this for so many years. It doesn't matter if we wait for one or two years." Chris Donnell certainly knew where the other party had gone. The location was provided by him. He had important matters to attend to, so it would be inappropriate to disturb him.
"The situation is different now. The sooner we find the Ant-Man Altar, the sooner we can establish our advantage..." Andaya muttered. She stopped arguing when she saw Chris Donner waving his hand.
As the head deacon of the hunting team and one of the six people with the highest status in the academy, Chris Donner's power is not as great as that of the dean or vice dean, nor as great as that of Ave Wakin, but that does not mean he does not have corresponding status and power.
With this status and power, he can create opportunities for people to study the Ant-Man Barrier or the Secret Realm of the Purple Dew Garden, or other things.
However, the three major families are so powerful that he can only proceed secretly, and most of the time he cannot arrange it personally. He knows how much attention the three major families pay to him, and at times like this he needs Andaya's support.
In the past, Chris Donald's search had never been successful. After careful consideration, he found out the reason: he lacked a person with profound attainments in enchantment and a suitable opportunity.
Today, the Moon Clamp Peninsula is in turmoil. The opportunity he has been waiting for has arrived, and the master of enchantment has also been invited.
Unfortunately, at this critical juncture, the other party has not returned to the academy for almost four months.
On the other side, inside the Solo Magic Stone Mine.
Ivan had no idea that someone was looking forward to his return to the academy, as he was focusing on deepening the Dark Magic Wind and Fire Array.
During the past period of time, he has refined several simplified Black Magic Wind and Fire Arrays, arranged them in other locations of the Solo Magic Stone Mine, and tried to find a way to connect the arrays with the overall rune wizard array.
To this end, he also consumed a level 4 light of great wisdom.
The gray copper that constituted the 'Gate of Dark Blood' also came in handy. He made it into copper balls as key items to suppress the simplified formation.
With the simplified array as the base, he almost included the entire magic stone mine, and was able to draw most of the special aura along the rune lines all the way to the black magic wind and fire array in the middle.
"The higher the strength, the harder it is to improve. The same is true for mental strength. I don't know how much I can improve this time."
Ivan warned himself to control his inner desires and not to be greedy and create hidden dangers for himself, and then he activated the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array.
An extremely spectacular scene appeared in the Solo Magic Stone Mine. As the overall formation was running, along the carved rune routes, from the middle to the surrounding areas, simplified formation platforms were activated one after another, emitting a bright light.
As time went by, a large amount of the special aura of the magic stone ore gathered in the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array.
Ivan's figure was submerged in the black magic wind and black magic fire, as well as the black mist that had been tempered many times. The mist was absorbed into his body bit by bit, and finally transformed into spiritual power in the spiritual ocean.
His strength was improving slowly.
Not long after, Ivan opened his eyes and casually dispersed the surrounding black magic wind and fire, allowing them all to transform into black mist, which eventually fell into the prepared medicine liquid and was sealed in several large glass bottles.
“The consumption is huge and a lot of energy is wasted. There is room for improvement.”
Thinking back on the process just now, he found that there were still some problems with his arrangement, but they were all minor problems that could be adjusted slowly later.
Strength: 13.3, Agility: 13.4, Constitution: 13.9, Spirit: 69.8
Ivan glanced at the attribute panel, and all aspects of the data were clearly displayed. His physical strength had increased by about 1 degree, and his mental strength had increased significantly, by as much as 16 degrees.
This means that as long as he fuses the corresponding elemental crystals and completes the corresponding elementalization of his mental power, he will only be ten scales away from the first-level limit of 80 scales.
From 42.3 scale to 69.8 scale, it is a considerable change. The gains from this trip to the Solo Magic Stone Mine have exceeded his original expectations.
