As Albert inscribed the last rune, the Life Force Field enveloped his soul. At the same time, his magic pressure officially broke through 1000, and because of his previous accumulated foundation, it immediately surged to 1100.

At the same time, Gromdal's power also became weak due to Albert's permanent defensive field.

In reality, Albert gasped for breath, looking at his own hands. "Is this what a formal wizard is?"

"This feeling is too extraordinary. It's like the entire world has changed."

Andrew and Axi looked at Albert with envy. Compared to Albert, they didn't know when they would be able to become formal wizards.

No matter what predicaments or hardships Albert had encountered before, as long as he became a formal wizard, those things all became passing clouds.

He now had only one identity—First Circle wizard!

Albert looked at Locke and thanked him, "Locke, thank you. If not for you, I could never have become a formal wizard."

Locke nodded slightly. "From now on, follow the materials I gave you to gradually perfect the Forest Sanctuary, gradually inscribing the Withering Force Field and Harvest Force Field's permanent defensive field rune formations. Then you can use Myst's Power."

"Teacher Halen Vera should contact you very soon. All right everyone, this spiritual projection avatar has also reached its limit. Let's stop here for now."

"Congratulations, Albert. Welcome to becoming a formal wizard."

The next moment, Locke's avatar disappeared.

Golden Crown Mountain, in the Origin Academy dormitory, Locke deactivated the gray stone tablet. "This way, Albert has become a formal wizard. It shouldn't take him long to complete Myst's Power."

"If I can create the Three-Headed Snake magical plant, it will greatly benefit both him and me."

"After Albert masters Myst's Power, my workload in the southeastern quadrant can be greatly reduced. This way, I can take 30,000 magic stones every month without having to do too much work." Locke thought, "At most I'll serve as a senior consultant role. Only when Albert encounters problems he can't handle will I be needed."

"This state is also the most ideal cooperation state."

As soon as dawn broke, Locke went to Arthas's plantation to conduct the fourth generation backcrossing, then went to the public laboratory. After reporting, he discussed with Witch Mason and the others, then went to the Feathered Serpent Pavilion to continue borrowing the dragon's nest luck enhancement technique's boost, searching for a potion formula that could change plant essence and create Three-Headed Snakes.

Such busy days continued for a period of time.

One week later, in the Feathered Serpent Pavilion, Locke drank a bottle of luck potion, raising his luck to the extreme for the next day.

Then Locke looked at the potion material box before him. This was potion masters' special potion material equipment called the Hundred Squares Grid.

It had three hundred small squares inside, filled with various potion materials. It was commonly used equipment when potion masters formulated new potion formulas, essentially just putting a pile of materials into categorized squares, then conveniently allowing potion masters to select the potion materials they needed from them.

Potion masters using the Hundred Squares Grid could effectively clarify their thoughts, understanding which materials were more suitable as peripheral materials or secondary materials, which materials could be used as auxiliary materials to expel toxicity.

Under the blessing of the dragon's nest luck enhancement technique and luck potion, plus the help of hints obtained from the descriptions of Locke's failed synthesized potions over the past week, Locke at this moment felt his thoughts flowing like a fountain. He quickly selected five secondary materials, eleven auxiliary materials, and five peripheral materials from the Hundred Squares Grid.

After formulating the recipe, he needed to formulate the heat treatment method.

But this was actually easier to handle, because different materials inherently had certain rules for heat treatment.

So, through the materials used and the order of addition, the heat treatment could be designed.

Deducing the process from the result.

At this moment, under the blessing of powerful luck force, Locke felt his mind clear, unprecedentedly lucid.

Three hours later, a light purple potion bottle appeared in Locke's hand. Locke lightly flicked the potion bottle with his finger. Immediately the potion inside rippled endlessly, magical energy rippling on its surface.

Locke sensed the mysterious luck. "Today is my lucky day."

He poured the potion into a flowerpot and placed a piece of moss pith beside the Hydra seeds. Soon the Hydra seeds sprouted and grew, and under Locke's Rapid Growth magic, Golden Crown Mountain's magical tide, and the moss pith's effect, rapidly grew into a rapid growth Hydra adult.

Locke raised an eyebrow. He saw the Hydra magical plant's nine heads become five heads.

Locke performed simple tests and discovered the Five-Headed Hydra magical plant's magic pressure requirements for individuals were indeed reduced by at least two-thirds. The original Hydra magical plant had extremely high magic pressure requirements for individual wizards.

This caused even Locke to need to rely on the Hydra's magic pressure storage function to barely use it for half an hour, even though he could raise his magic pressure to 9999 through a series of methods.

The current rapid growth Five-Headed Hydra magical plant reduced at least two-thirds of the magic pressure burden. Of course, even so, this still wasn't the ideal individual magical plant Three-Headed Snake he envisioned.

The Five-Headed Hydra was still a tactical-class magical plant. Only if the Hydra was heavyweight tactical-class magical plant, then the Five-Headed Hydra was lightweight tactical-class magical plant.

The Five-Headed Hydra magical plant was genuinely a magical plant that individual wizards could barely use personally.

Although currently only a rapid growth magical plant with limited power, after testing, Locke was still somewhat satisfied in his heart.

Although the Three-Headed Snake he ideally envisioned still hadn't been created, the Five-Headed Hydra magical plant could already temporarily satisfy his current needs, and might even improve his Hydra series magical plants' performance at Arthas's September 1st event.

"Actually for me personally, the Five-Headed Hydra might be more suitable than the Three-Headed Snake. Having five snake heads means I can simultaneously stack five permanent defensive fields on myself. Adding my own original permanent defensive field, I can simultaneously use six permanent defensive fields."

Locke said, "This way, I can effectively switch between Myst's Power and other permanent defensive fields. But if I use Three-Headed Snake magical plants, I'd need to use at least two Three-Headed Snake magical plants. Otherwise I couldn't switch permanent defensive fields and could only use Myst's Power."

"Using two Three-Headed Snake magical plants should consume more of my magic pressure, waste more of my energy, and require me to constantly use two plant studies magics to use two Three-Headed Snake magical plants. In same-level combat, the openings exposed would be too great."

"But Lady Myst has a second powerful First Circle stage permanent defensive field—Life Heavy Armor. So afterward, I'll definitely need to simultaneously use six permanent defensive fields. Therefore the Five-Headed Hydra's development, although an accident, when I think carefully now, is something I need."

Locke said, "Of course, I can't give up developing the Three-Headed Snake magical plant. Because as an individual-class magical plant, the Three-Headed Snake magical plant will definitely sell better and more wizards will need it."

"Moreover, magic like Forest Sanctuary is indeed unique in the southeastern quadrant. But in the Three Marsh Lands, it may not be so. I'm afraid in the Three Marsh Lands there are also some special magics that can switch permanent defensive fields."

"So, the Three-Headed Snake, Five-Headed Hydra and Hydra all still need to be completely finished."

After some simple tests in the potion room, Locke frowned slightly. He didn't know if it was because of the rapid growth magical plant, but the Five-Headed Hydra would cause each of his individual permanent defensive fields' power to drop by about fifty percent.

It couldn't perfectly present all his permanent defensive fields like the Hydra.

Locke thought briefly and understood the reason.

Actually it wasn't the magical plant's fault, but the total magic pressure issue.

The magic pressure the Hydra required was more than three times the magic pressure the Five-Headed Hydra required.

Therefore, the Hydra could stack permanent defensive fields without any reduction in these defensive magics' power, but the Five-Headed Hydra was not like this.

Using the Five-Headed Hydra magical plant with personal power, even if barely applicable, the total magic pressure wasn't quite enough.

So, each permanent defensive field would see power reduction.

This problem was easy to solve. If five proper wizards used the Five-Headed Hydra simultaneously, there would be no problem. Each permanent defensive field's power wouldn't decrease.

He could also use some external magic pressure, providing external magic pressure, using this method to compensate for the Five-Headed Hydra causing individual permanent defensive fields' defensive power to drop.

Even if he couldn't completely compensate, he could compensate for most of the problem.

Moreover, this way, he could sell the Five-Headed Hydra's supporting magical plants or sell other equipment. Thinking carefully, this also seemed quite good.

Locke thought, "With the Five-Headed Hydra, I've finally resolved my Myst's Power time limit usage problem."

Locke looked at the Five-Headed Hydra in his hand. He saw this rapid growth Five-Headed Hydra couldn't withstand the magic pressure Locke input. Suddenly the vines broke, the crocodile chain-lock heads also instantly burned, the entire rapid growth Five-Headed Hydra fell to the ground, turning to ash in the flames.

Locke wasn't surprised by this, because this was only a rapid growth magical plant. Its functions were weakened, and its bearing capacity limited. It was just a sample he had magically highly catalyzed.

Therefore the current phenomenon occurred.

"Next, I just need to quickly complete the Hydra and Five-Headed Hydra backcrossing, then hand the seeds to Arthas's trader for trading."

"Use the money earned from this horizontal project to support my vertical project."

Arthas had its own planting base, seemingly not even in the wizard world.

So Locke didn't need to find plantations for planting. He only needed to continuously provide Arthas with magical plant seeds.

"I don't know why, but I always feel I should continue formulating." Locke looked at his crucible, then thought.

He put away all materials, then organized the formula, organizing all failure records and the final successful formula into a booklet, and named this potion that could mutate Hydra magical plant seeds into Five-Headed Hydra magical plant seeds the Multi-Headed Hydra Potion.

Then Locke took out the luck potion materials, then raised magical flames, letting them burn under the crucible.

Ten hours later, evening, the various raw materials of the luck potion gradually fused their medicinal properties under the collision of Locke's water element and fire element potion flames.

As a drop of sweat fell from his forehead, Locke poured the liquid from the crucible into pentagonal potion bottles.

Without using Primordial Fire and Pure Flow Filter Stone, he successfully refined two portions of luck potion.

The Feathered Serpent Pavilion had given him a total of ten portions of materials, and at this moment he used those ten portions of materials to formulate two portions of luck potion.

"The third round of the ladder is finally complete."

Locke put away the two bottles of luck potion, left the potion room, and on the first floor found that green half-dragon person, handing him the two bottles of luck potion.

"I formulated the luck potion in your Feathered Serpent Pavilion after drinking luck potion. This shouldn't count as breaking the rules, right?"

This green half-dragon shopkeeper bowed to Locke, "Of course. Increasing luck to formulate potions is itself within the allowable range of ladder test rules. This is different from taking shortcuts. Luck doesn't affect your operation. If you don't know how to formulate, even raising luck to the extreme would be meaningless."

"After all, formulating potions is a very complex and delicate matter."

The green half-dragon person complimented, "You using ten portions of raw materials to formulate two portions of luck potion, this success rate already surpasses fifty percent of potion masters who reached this step."

"Congratulations, you passed the third round of the ladder. This is your magic box and the magic key to open the magic box."

"Do you want to immediately participate in the fourth round of the ladder?"

"The fourth round of the ladder is one question."

The green half-dragon person said, "Our Feathered Serpent Pavilion's upper management poses a question for you as a potion master to answer, and you must complete it within one year and pass our Feathered Serpent Pavilion upper management's inspection."

"Of course, as a respected dragon, you have privileges. In this round of testing, you have one failure right. That is, if you cannot solve it within one year, it can automatically extend for another year. If the answer you submit cannot pass our Feathered Serpent Pavilion's approval, you can also get one retry opportunity."

Locke said coldly, "Then, what is the question?"

The green half-dragon shopkeeper bowed apologetically to Locke, "I can only tell you the question type, but cannot tell you the specific content of the question. Once the question's content is told to others, the question is no longer a question."

"The fourth round questions are generally the Feathered Serpent Pavilion's upper management making some requirements, having you create a First Circle potion formula that can satisfy these requirements within a specific period."

Locke nodded slightly, simultaneously using the magic key in his hand to open the magic box. Inside the magic box was a small stone.

The green half-dragon manager said, "Congratulations, this is the potion master's pet—Obelisk Stone Golem."

"This is a special potion master pet bred by earth wizards using special earth elemental creatures. The Obelisk Stone Golem initially looks like just a lifeless ordinary stone, but as long as potion masters continuously pour potions on this stone's surface, the Obelisk Stone Golem will continuously grow."

"Even with an extremely high ceiling."

"If it can frequently drink Second Circle level potion waste, the Obelisk Stone Golem even has precedents of becoming Second Circle creatures."

"Of course, most potion masters sprinkle failed waste on the Obelisk Stone Golem. For potion masters, producing waste is the most normal thing, so potion masters very much welcome pets like the Obelisk Stone Golem that like eating waste."
