Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 97: Chapter 90: The Warlord’s Downfall

The Month of the Northern Flower, spring seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

The plants cultivated within the base began to show a breathtaking green, with blooming flowers filling the garden, marking the arrival of midsummer.

Inside the potion room.

In front of the large workbench, Sunan picked up the newly crafted potion and stared at the light purple liquid in the bottle, a hint of satisfaction flashing across his face.

[Transcendent Potion (Tier Three/Lower Grade), upon consumption, grants a transcendent state, allowing the body to slowly absorb the surrounding energy particles at all times, while significantly enhancing the spiritual activity level and speed of energy particle absorption, lasting 53 days and 9 hours, with no stacking effect, requiring the user’s spiritual power to be above 30.]

Compared to the Superpower Potion, the effect of the Tier Three Transcendent Potion is undoubtedly more powerful.

It directly provides a 24-hour passive meditation transcendent state!

Even though the efficiency of passive meditation is very low, far inferior to active meditation, its strength lies in its long duration, which accumulates to become quite substantial.

Moreover, it retains the effect of enhancing spiritual activity and the speed of energy particle absorption.

This means the efficiency of active meditation is equally not low.

“Let’s try the specific effect.”

Sunan uncorked the bottle, tilted his head back, and drank the liquid in one gulp, then immediately sat cross-legged on the ground to meditate.

In order to obtain detailed effects of the potion, he tested continuously for five days, finally gaining a general understanding of the effect of the Transcendent Potion.

“The Star Ring Meditation Method can increase proficiency by about 1500 points a day, which is approximately a fifty percent improvement over when using the Superpower Potion.”

“At this speed, I should be able to construct the tenth star ring in about a month.”

Sunan nodded secretly.

A fifty percent improvement in efficiency is already quite good.

And this is only the Tier Three Lower Grade Transcendent Potion, switching to the Tier Three Higher Grade would further enhance the effect.

The key is the consumption of materials.

Synthesizing a bottle of Tier Three Lower Grade Transcendent Potion uses up about a quarter of the latest harvest of Silver Moon Flowers.

This is because the improved Silver Moon Flower has significantly enhanced effects; otherwise, it would take the entire stock of pre-improved Silver Moon Flowers to synthesize just one bottle of Tier Three Lower Grade Transcendent Potion.

“The growth cycle of the Silver Moon Flower is about 100 days, and the Transcendent Potion’s duration is 53 days, meaning approximately two bottles of Transcendent Potion are needed per growth cycle, which is half of the yield.”

“The remaining half of the yield must be used to create Subactive Potions and Active Potions for apprentices at the base to exchange.”

After an estimation, Sunan suddenly realized that Silver Moon Flowers were running short.

With each level increase in the quality of a Tier Three potion, the stringency of material requirements escalates a level.

He tested that to synthesize a Tier Three Higher Grade Transcendent Potion, nearly two-thirds of a batch of Silver Moon Flowers would be needed.

Although the duration of a Higher Grade Transcendent Potion would extend to just over 70 days, ultimately, it still isn’t enough.

Unless the supply of Subactive and Active Potions is reduced.

Doing so might work in the short term, but over a long period, it would inevitably slow down the apprentices’ strength progression, unfavorable to the base’s development and growth.

He hoped that the apprentices could quickly grow to share the burden of producing low-tier potions and crafting low-tier puppets.

So the best solution is to open up a new Magic Plant Garden.

The crux is that due to energy particle concentration issues, the new Magic Plant Garden must be sufficiently far from the base.

This means personnel must be arranged for garrison and cultivation.

The garrison issue is easily solved by sending a team of Stone Golems.

Or simply have Kei dispatch a team of soldiers to be stationed there.

What truly needs consideration is the cultivation personnel.

The base’s Magic Plant Garden has resident flower spirits, and it’s sufficient to release tasks regularly for apprentices to lend a hand.

If a new Magic Plant Garden is to be established, a batch of flower spirits, or similar otherworldly creatures, must be ’recruited’ again.

However, this cannot be done immediately upon wish.

Whether suitable helpers can be summoned depends entirely on luck.

“Establishing a Magic Plant Garden will cost a significant amount of Gold Coins; it’s better to consider this matter after the war in Golden Rock Province concludes.”

“Moreover, opening up a Magic Plant Garden will take a considerable amount of time, during which suitable ’candidates’ might be found by continuing to summon otherworldly creatures.”

“Just as the spiritual power limit of the Tier Three Mid-Grade Transcendent Potion is in place, continue using the Tier Three Lower Grade Transcendent Potion for now. By the time the new Magic Plant Garden is complete, the spiritual power should also just about meet the requirements.”

Concentrating his thoughts, Sunan temporarily shelved the matter and began flipping through magic books.

With the assistance of the Transcendent Potion, his speed in learning Tier Two Magic had also increased significantly.

At the current pace, he would be able to master one Tier Two Magic spell in around fifty days.

The progress of his training in spellbreaking casting was also steadily advancing, with Sunan expecting to master this technique within the year and then begin training in supernatural techniques.

…

Just as Sunan was methodically enhancing himself, the war in Golden Rock Province was also in full swing.

The Flashing Army, wielding the Black Rock Cavalry Legion and Golem Legion as its trump cards, swept the frontline battlefield, pushing the Golden Rock Alliance Army into continuous retreat.

In just a month’s time, without exception, every noble territory except for Marquis Golden Rock was declared fallen.

The Golden Rock Alliance Army, which had been formidable over half a year ago, was now left with only a lone Marquis Golden Rock.

This left many who were following the war dumbstruck.

Although it was expected that the Flashing Territory might win the war, no one expected the situation to be so one-sided.
