章 62: Chapter 62: Profiteering from Magic Stones
With the dual boosts of the super energy potion and the Blood Amber, Sunan's meditation progress surged forward, successfully constructing the fifth star ring by mid-month.
His mental strength also broke through the 18 barrier smoothly.
After two months, the duration of the super energy potion was approaching its end.
Thus, Sunan synthesized another bottle of high-grade super energy potion and consumed it, further enhancing his meditation efficiency.
By the end of the day, the proficiency of his Star Ring Meditation method increased by nearly 700 points.
"To reach Level 6 of the Star Ring Meditation, I need 50,000 proficiency, so at this rate, it'll take at least another two months."
"However, once I construct the sixth star ring, my mental strength should be able to break through 20."
Sunan focused his thoughts and summoned his status panel.
**[Sunan Anest, Human Male, Age 17]**
**[Mental Strength 18.92 / Physical Strength 14.21]**
**[Skills]**
**[Star Ring Meditation Lv6 (21/50000)]**
**[Potion Production Lv3 (1804/6000)]**
**[Biological Modification Lv2 (526/3000)]**
**[Puppet Refinement Lv2 (2371/3000)]**
**[Magic Item Manufacturing Lv1 (251/1000)]**
Aside from the Star Ring Meditation, the skill that had grown the fastest among the remaining four was Potion Production, which had a significant lead in level.
After all, Sunan was now producing potions daily, accumulating a stockpile to be delivered to the Fire Fox Trading Company for sale—this was his primary source of income.
Following that was Puppet Refinement.
He had been crafting dozens of Blackrock Panthers each month, and recently, he had also created ten clay golems, which had increased his proficiency considerably.
Biological Modification came next.
The blood exchange plan for the Invisible Dragon was still ongoing, providing substantial proficiency for the skill each time.
To date, the dragon's bloodline concentration had approached 40%.
Sunan estimated that within two years, the Invisible Dragon's bloodline would evolve into a semi-dragon bloodline.
It was worth noting that Sunan had considered extracting Amy's spatial traversal ability and replicating it onto the Invisible Dragon.
After all, spatial traversal abilities synergized brilliantly with the abilities of intangibility and invisibility.
Combined, these abilities could fundamentally transform the Invisible Dragon's combat power, elevating it several tiers.
Even a legendary knight would find it hard to withstand the surprise attack of an Invisible Dragon that mastered spatial traversal!
To this end, Sunan had even tempted Amy with synthesized Frost Mint, successfully persuading the little cat to cooperate with his experiments.
Unfortunately, the results were regrettable; multiple experiments had failed.
Amy's ability for spatial traversal was ultimately not derived from her bloodline but awakened as a quasi-spell ability through the magical beast contract.
This ability could not be inherited through blood, so even if he extracted Amy's blood and infused it into the Invisible Dragon, it wouldn't be possible to replicate or inherit.
Sunan had to temporarily shelve this enticing idea.
"Although the spatial traversal ability is rare, there are indeed races in the multiverse that possess similar bloodline abilities. Once I become a wizard, perhaps I can find a way to capture one and extract its bloodline ability for the Invisible Dragon."
Sunan pondered.
Among the four skills, the slowest growing was Magic Item Manufacturing.
After all, aside from rune stones, he hadn't really crafted any proper magical items.
"Speaking of which, creating secondary magic stones should also help increase this skill's proficiency, right?"
An idea flashed in his mind.
Both the magic item workshop and puppet factory required a magical crystal forging furnace, and the energy source for that was magic stones.
Before he could forge the magical crystal furnace, he first needed to synthesize magic stones.
Sunan turned and walked into the laboratory.
With the clay golems tirelessly laboring, the base's foundation was already laid, and various building facilities were beginning to take shape.
It was expected that the construction of the base would be completed in about two more months.
After that, as long as various magical arrays and energy transmission pipelines were laid out, the base would be truly finished.
Standing in front of the workbench, Sunan drew the magical array and placed an egg-sized crystal at its center.
Despite the name, magic stones were actually a type of gray crystal.
Thus, they were also referred to as magic crystals.
To create secondary magic stones, a similar crystal needed to be used as a medium.
As Sunan began to chant the incantation, the magical array glowed with light, elemental magical energy surged from the ley line node, flowing through the energy transmission pipes into the array, and finally coalescing into the crystal.
After about four or five minutes, the crystal transformed from transparent to gray, emanating a peculiar glow.
Sunan picked up the crystal and placed it into the Synthesis Cube.
**[Secondary Magic Stone, Purity 99.36%, contains a small amount of magical energy.]**
"Not bad, the purity is quite high."
Sunan nodded with satisfaction, then proceeded to create more than twenty secondary magic stones, stopping only when the energy array he had drawn became ineffective, and he began synthesizing the magic stones.
It wasn't until he placed the fifteenth secondary magic stone that the synthesis interface finally displayed the information for the magic stone.
**[Magic Stone (Lower Grade), a crystal containing abundant magical energy.]**
The cost of creating secondary magic stones consisted only of the crystals and the materials for drawing the array.
Each array could produce about twenty-seven secondary magic stones.
Ultimately, a single secondary magic stone would cost around twelve silver coins.
A lower-grade magic stone would thus cost about one hundred eighty silver coins, or less than two gold coins.
"It seems like in version 2.0 of the 'Wizard Era,' a lower-grade magic stone can be exchanged for fifty to sixty gold coins in any country. If I calculate it this way, my production cost is practically a windfall!"
Sunan weighed the magic stone in his hand.
Magic stones were products of elemental tides, rare minerals infused with magical energy.
They were invaluable as spellcasting materials, tools for setting up magical arrays, and could also be used to extract energy to replenish mental strength, making them extremely versatile.
Thus, wizards often treated magic stones as a form of hard currency.
With the means to synthesize magic stones at a low cost, once the wizard era arrived, he could immediately transform into a wealthy magnate, buying up various resources and magical items—just thinking about it thrilled him.
"Of course, that's assuming I can survive until then."
Steadying his emotions, Sunan stored the magic stones and continued the synthesis process.
A lower-grade magic stone could sustain a magical crystal forging furnace for about an hour.
Considering that the base would eventually have at least two magical crystal forging furnaces, he decided to stockpile two to three hundred magic stones first.
"Unfortunately, my mental strength still isn't sufficient to open an elemental channel. Otherwise, if I could establish an elemental pool, I wouldn't need to consume so many magic stones."
An elemental pool is a higher-tier energy supply device.
It can draw elemental energy from the elemental planes, providing a continuous and stable supply of infinite energy, far more efficiently than setting up energy transmission pipelines at ley line nodes.
A small elemental pool could suffice to meet the basic needs of a wizard tower.
However, establishing an elemental channel was something only a formal wizard could achieve, and Sunan could only sigh in longing for now.
"I'll just have to focus on synthesizing magic stones."
Bringing his thoughts back to the task at hand, Sunan immersed himself in the synthesis of secondary magic stones.
While Sunan was engrossed in creating magic stones, a unique recruitment event was unfolding throughout the entire Shimmering Territory.
