Synthetic Wizard-Chapter 124 - 102: Demon Pattern Core Worth Its Price (2)
"If the attack is too fierce, this time needs to be shortened a bit more."
"However, in a balanced fight, two minutes is enough to secure victory." ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐๐ค๐๐๐ก.๐๐๐ถ
Sunan retracted the Demon Pattern Core back into his body, feeling quite satisfied.
The materials for the Demon Pattern Core are difficult to gather, and the conditions for fusion are harsh, but fortunately, itโs worth the value, and the final power did not disappoint him.
When dealing with the Hundred-armed Monster earlier, if he had the Demon Pattern Core, he wouldnโt have had to waste so many High-level Rune Gemstones.
"Though itโs still not as good as a Wizardโs Talent Ability, itโs already quite impressive."
Sunan had witnessed firsthand how powerful an Official Wizardโs Talent Ability could be.
The Demon Pattern Core is indeed powerful, but thereโs still a long way to go before reaching the level of Talent Ability.
The boasting of the author of "Demon Pattern Core" has a bit of exaggeration.
However, Sunan is confident he can enhance the power of the Demon Pattern Core to match the descriptions in the book, or even surpass them.
After all, the Demon Pattern Core can be synthesized and strengthened.
As long as he refines enough Demon Pattern Cores and then synthesizes and strengthens them!
"After synthesis and strengthening, perhaps the consumption of the Demon Pattern Core might be reduced somewhat?"
"If thatโs the case, then it would be a big win."
"However, the materials are a problem."
Sunan sighed.
To collect the materials needed to refine the Demon Pattern Core, he had invested a lot of energy, time, and money.
Although substitutes have been researched and donโt require much money anymore, many rare metals are still hard to obtain, and collecting a second, third, and fourth set of materials would not be easy.
"Take it slowly."
...
The busy day after refining the Demon Pattern Core.
Sunan received some good news.
Keiโs wife was pregnant.
Heโd soon have a nephew or niece.
To celebrate, Kei specifically invited Sunan over for a dinner.
After the dinner, once the maid helped his wife away, Kei straightened his expression and said, "
Was the Starfire Sect matter your handiwork?"
Sunan raised an eyebrow: "Whatโs the matter?"
Kei smiled, handing over a battle report.
Sunan took it and also smiled upon seeing it.
The report contained information about the Starfire Sect being repeatedly attacked by unidentified individuals recently.
Ever since they shifted from the shadows, the secret bases of the Starfire Sect transformed into local town church branches.
And recently, these church branches have been continuously attacked, suffering heavy casualties.
Some noble families who initially planned to embrace the Starfire Sect faith withdrew upon seeing this.
The reputation of the Starfire Sect among the populace took a great hit.
Thanks to this, the Starfire Sectโs vigorous preaching effort faced a severe setback as soon as it started to show results.
"The Starfire Sect has suffered heavy losses this time."
Kei had a schadenfreude expression on his face, and he repeated the previous question.
Not long ago, Sunan had assured that he would take care of obstructing the Starfire Sectโs preaching.
Not long after, such an incident occurred.
Kei found it hard to believe that Sunan had no involvement.
Sunan knew very well that Night Owl and his team had begun their actions.
Judging from the report, it seemed their harvest was bountiful.
Looks like he can acquire quite a bit of Divine Blood Amber at the next gathering.
"Itโs somewhat related to me." Sunan acknowledged openly.
Kei had a knowing look on his face, chuckled and said, "I knew youโd have a way."
"With such heavy losses, the Starfire Sectโs preaching efforts are likely to stall for a long time."
After chatting a bit about the Starfire Sect, Sunan soon shifted the conversation to other topics.
"Iโm planning to establish a Knight Academy to recruit students from peasants and farmers to train as Knights."
Kei asked puzzledly: "If you need Knights, you can just recruit from the army, why bother training them yourself?"
"Itโs feasible once or twice, but I canโt consistently recruit from the army."
"The base still needs its own Knight Guards, it would make many things easier in the future."
Sunan didnโt reveal the real reason, as the time wasnโt right yet.
Fortunately, Kei didnโt think much, instead asking curiously: "Why not recruit from noble children, their aptitude and talent are much better than farmers and peasants."
"That would clash with the territoryโs recruitment!" Sunan waved his hand, "Besides, donโt you remember we have Dragon Blood Fruit, so aptitude isnโt an issue?"
Kei thought for a moment and agreed.
"Alright, leave it to me, you just need to choose a location for the academy, Iโll take care of the rest."
If the Knight Academy can train more knights, itโs also beneficial for the Flashing Territory.
The stronger the base, the more benefits for the Flashing Territory.
...
Late night.
Third gathering at the woodland cabin.
Sunan slowly opened his eyes, glancing around the long table.
Unexpectedly, only five people, including him, attended this gathering.
Night Owl, Scepter, Red Heart, Mortal Remains.
Rose wasnโt present.
After the customary opening remarks, the gathering quickly transitioned into trading mode.
Red Heart immediately placed five pieces of Divine Blood Amber on the table, fixing his gaze intently on Sunan.
"As per the agreement, Iโve brought the Divine Blood Amber, now itโs your turn to fulfill the promise."
"Of course."
Sunan smiled slightly, handing over a hundred magic stones to Red Heart.
Seeing this, the other three also took out Divine Blood Amber.
Sunan glanced at them, his smile deepening.
As he expected, the woodland cabinโs harvest was incredibly abundant this time.
Mortal Remains had three pieces of Divine Blood Amber.
Scepter had seven pieces of Divine Blood Amber.
What surprised Sunan was that Night Owl presented a full eighteen pieces of Divine Blood Amber!
"How many Starfire Sect branches did this guy raid?"
Sunan was secretly astonished.
Indeed, for someone capable of founding the woodland cabin, their resources and strength arenโt simple.
As agreed, Sunan promptly settled the purchase price with magic stones.
Altogether, he acquired thirty-three pieces of Divine Blood Amber, exceeding the Divine Blood Amber he got from raiding the Stone Bell Cityโs Starfire Sect base.
"With so much Divine Blood Amber, it should at least double the effect of the existing Divine Blood Amber!"
The thought of soon improving his meditation efficiency brought Sunan much joy.
On the other side, Night Owl and the other four were also thrilled with the large number of magic stones they received.
However, amidst their joy, there was also a quiet astonishment at the playerโs lavish spending.
In just this brief moment, the player had procured over six hundred magic stones!
Such generosity was indeed shocking!
Just how many magic stones does he possess?
"Everyone, the acquisition of Divine Blood Amber is still ongoing." Sunan smiled, "If you manage to acquire more Divine Blood Amber next time, Iโll still buy them at twenty magic stones each."
The attendees exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
After the Divine Blood Amber transaction was completed, the group returned to the regular trading mode.
Unfortunately, the items Night Owl and the others presented this time didnโt capture Sunanโs interest much, so he only traded a few precious materials and two miniature soul crystals before stopping.
After the gathering ended, Sunan immediately took out the Divine Blood Amber to synthesize in the Meditation Room.
[Divine Blood Amber, Divine Blood content: 2.95 milliliters, upon exposure to air can attract free Energy Particles, creating a high-concentration energy region.]
Judging solely from the description, the synthesis effect of the Divine Blood Amber didnโt appear to change much, except for the side effects like minor auditory hallucinations and illusions disappearing, completely eliminating contamination.
Unable to discern much, Sunan decided to conduct a direct test.
The final results delighted him greatly.
The Divine Blood Amber, combined with a Grade Three top-tier Transcendent Potion, boosted his meditation efficiency by roughly one-quarter.
This is despite the Divine Blood Amberโs limitations in being constantly near, especially during potion creation, crafting magical items, and puppet refinement, which would interfere with the Enchanted Rune drawing. Otherwise, paired with the transcendental state of โ24-hour passive meditation,โ the efficiency could be even higher.
Even so, Sunanโs daily proficiency growth with the Star Ring Meditation Method surged to as high as 2900 points.
"At this speed, the twelfth star ring can be constructed by the Autumn Crescent Moon."
Sunan rubbed the Divine Blood Amber in his hands, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
It seems the bounty acquisition for Divine Blood Amber needs to be maintained indefinitely.
