Chapter 278: Wu Tower and Ascension
Chapter 278: Wu Tower and Ascension
Under the guidance of Mendane, the two walked towards the area where the Space School was located. Ivan asked questions when he didn't understand, and Mendane answered them one by one, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of the Enchanting Guild.
"I see that the nearby towers are almost everywhere in Block 107. Could it be that this large area belongs to our Enchanting Guild?"
"You can say yes, you can say no."
"Appreciate further details."
"You should be able to sense that the defense of Block 107 is relatively strong, and that is indeed the case. The guild cannot monopolize such a place, so many towers have been given or sold to others."
After hearing his explanation, Ivan was speechless. He didn't expect that the guild was also engaged in real estate business. But on second thought, it made sense.
It is not difficult to see that the maintenance of the Dongdu Great Array is inseparable from the Enchanting Guild. This will bring a lot of convenience to the guild, just like what he did in the Mona Ant Land Hut.
If he were the one in power in Dongdu, he would definitely not want to see the guild monopolize the benefits.
"How much is it worth?"
"If we use low-grade magic stones to measure it, it would cost tens of millions, but you don't need that. I am just taking you to choose a place to live. If you settle down somewhere else, it won't be as safe as near the guild."
"Then wouldn't it mean I saved tens of millions of magic stones?"
"With your ability, it's not worth mentioning."
Mendane didn't think that he couldn't afford the guild's tower. Anyone who could become a guild elder would never lack magic stones to make magic items by enchanting.
Ivan nodded slightly, but he had not given up the idea of buying another residence. He understood the principle of a cunning rabbit having three burrows.
But at this point, he needs to think long and hard.
At this time, the ants received orders and came from the other side.
The size of the swamp ants could not be further reduced. They were registered when entering the city and were issued an identity tag, indicating that they were Ivan's pet. The Queen Silkworm was not registered.
"Your pet?"
"Yes."
"Not bad, not bad, you are a good helper."
As an elder of the Enchanting Guild, Mendane was knowledgeable and could see the unusualness of the swamp ant, so he did not hesitate to praise it.
While introducing the surroundings, he took Ivan deeper into Block 107, slowly passing through the tall towers.
After a while, the two finally arrived at their target location, in front of a three-story tower.
Ivan discovered that the surrounding towers were actually built around a five-story tower, and there was some vague connection between them.
"In here——how could the space energy be so dense?"
"Haha, the reason is very simple. There is a simple energy particle pool inside, which is more space-related."
Seeing that he was a little confused, Mendane immediately gave him some basic knowledge about the wizard tower.
In fact, a real wizard tower is a five-story tower with a unique elemental halo.
This kind of wizard tower is built with: energy particle pool, laboratory, plant garden, warning passage guarded by alchemy puppets, etc. It has the effects of radiation attack range, amplification of attack power, as well as auxiliary functions such as binding, purification, and sealing.
As for other towers that do not have these factors, they can only be regarded as ordinary towers, and the three-story tower in front of us is no exception.
Of course, building a real wizard tower would take at least a hundred years of accumulation by a large wizard clan.
……
Time passed quickly. More than a month later, inside a three-story tower.
Ivan looked at the newly-made potion in front of him. The overall color was light blue, with ominous black smoke floating in it, and a bleak face made up of white smoke.
The pale face opened and closed its mouth, telling something blankly.
"The wind is the wind that calms the soul, and the words are the words of death."
This was the spiritual potion he had obtained from Chief Naniel earlier - Wind Whisper Cindy. After a period of preparation, he had already produced three finished products.
Since the raw material, Wind Whispering Tears, was of high value, and he did not have that many magic stones on him, he had to find a way to earn magic stones.
After thinking it over, he found that the only thing he had that was worthwhile and easy to trade was the Ant King's Empty Shield.
The materials for refining the Ant King's Empty Shield were not difficult to find, especially with the support of the powerful Enchanting Guild. Through continuous purchase, sale and re-purchase, the required second-level mental power potion was finally successfully refined.
"Spiritual strength is at 104.9. How much can it be improved?"
Ivan muttered softly, and drank the 'Wind Whispering Cindy' in his hand. The medicine melted in his mouth.
In an instant, an evil wind appeared out of nowhere. It was more cunning than the black magic wind and was everywhere. It blew through his body again and again, giving him the feeling as if a blade was scraping his soul.
In addition, there were shrill and sharp sounds coming from all around, which were clearly the wails of some creatures before death, making people change color.
Ivan was in a horrible illusion, his mind remained unmoved, and he felt his spiritual power rising little by little.
"As expected of a recipe that has been refined for thousands of years, one dose of the potion has raised the level to 116.2. The mental power can even be liquefied."
After the illusion ended, his strength improvement also ended, and his mental power increased by 11.3 levels at a time.
In the process of wizard training, from level one to level three, they are all about accumulating strength. The training at levels one, two, and three are similar. The level two wizard can also be divided into four stages: the initial stage, the liquefaction stage, the secondary elementalization stage, and the level three wizard promotion stage.
The initial stage is extremely short, and all you need to do is raise your gaseous mental power to above 110 scales.
Then, using the 'liquefaction auxiliary agent' as an inducement, part of the gaseous mental power is liquefied, and this enters the liquefaction stage.
The liquefied auxiliary agent is a universal agent and only one tube is needed as an initiator. He has already purchased it in advance.
The next day, after a day of rest, Ivan directly took the liquefaction auxiliary potion, which enabled him to reach the second stage of cultivation - the liquefaction stage, and his mental strength scale remained unchanged.
"In the liquefaction stage, you need to increase your mental strength to 140 before you can enter the third stage. Judging from the effect of Wind Whispering Cindy, one set of potions is definitely not enough."
"Among the second-level spiritual power formulas, Wind Whisper Cindy is already a good quality potion. It will not be easy to improve it later."
Having said that, he didn't have much worries about it.
He has his own ideas on how to improve mental strength, which is nothing more than diversifying methods. In other words, don't just use potions to improve it. This can effectively avoid the strong resistance brought about by the increase of mental strength.
He also believed that as long as he was willing to work hard to study, he would definitely have other ways, such as the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array in the first level.
During this alchemy process, he also had an extra gain. [Pharmacy] was unconsciously upgraded to an 8th-level subject, adding a little light of wisdom and intelligence to him.
"7 parts of the light of wisdom, 6 parts of the light of great wisdom."
Ivan's eyes couldn't help but fall on the academic master's panel. Looking at the light of wisdom and great wisdom accumulated on it, he thought of "Multiple In One", and suddenly a feeling of "who else but me" emerged in his heart.
He had a strong urge to practice the secret method of "immortal" clone.
There is also a meditation method called "Pulling the Sacred Heart", which he is very interested in studying and hopes to gain something from.
Sorry, I'm really stuck.
