Chapter 21 Artificial Magic Stone

```

...

"I want to try."

"Well, then give me 10,000 gold coins, and I'll go get you ten seeds in return."

"Does the Nature Association have any?"

"Yeah, old man with deer antlers has a Magic Energy Garden, seems like there are over fifty Enlightenment Flowers, getting ten seeds shouldn't be a problem."

Lin Suo's mouth twitched.

Why not say it earlier, 10,000 gold coins, huh... can't afford that.

"Um, Lea, I'm just a bookseller, I don't have that much money on hand, can I give you a 2,000 gold coin deposit first, and pay the rest gradually within this month?"

"No problem, I'll cover it for you first."

Rich lady huh~

If you had revealed your identity earlier, I wouldn't have looked down on you like that.

"Thank you."

Valia was stunned, then blushed slightly at the sincere smile on Lin Suo's face.

"Then... then I'll be going first, I'll come find you again tomorrow."

"La..."

Valia, like a whiff of breeze, ran out in the blink of an eye.

Lin Suo was speechless, it took him a long while before he heard a "good" spit out between his teeth.

"It's so strange, why is she cunning like a fox sometimes, but then so naive it's incredible..."

"Forget it, having an elf friend is quite nice."

One day later, Lin Suo successfully obtained the seeds of the Enlightenment Flower.

Then he set up a Sunshine Garden in the third-floor residence.

Although a Wizard Apprentice cannot absorb magic power from the air, they can still manipulate its trajectory using spiritual power.

In the field of mental view, some dark blue light spots appear in the air, and they are magic power.

Low magic power density in Koster does not mean absence.

And with magic power present, Lin Suo can capture it with spiritual power.

With the prerequisite conditions met, the Artificial Magic Stone plan was smoothly initiated.

Using magic power light spots and ordinary jade as materials, Lin Suo created Artificial Magic Stones using the principles of Logical Synthesis.

All this went smoother than he imagined.

Merely one week.

The whole Sunshine Garden was surrounded by Magic Stones, the walls, floor, ceiling, one every half meter, with a magic power density outrageously high.

A total of 96 Artificial Magic Stones.

They differ from Natural Magic Stones in that naturally occurring Magic Stones, once depleted of magic power, can slowly recover over time.

Artificial ones cannot, and they break easily; Lin Suo doesn't understand the precise mechanics.

Before knowing whether the Wizard World has something similar to the Artificial Magic Stones he created, these things cannot be spent.

Too risky.

The soil in the planters is also high-quality black soil that Lin Suo bought in large quantities, after a hundred times of extreme synthesis, it turned into the ultimate soil.

It should be no problem for the growth of Enlightenment Flowers.

The flower seeds have been sown, sealing up the Sunshine Garden, Lin Suo went to the bed and collapsed straight down.

This week has exhausted him.

The Power of Synthesis is never much of a drain, but it's relentless in use.

Once the energy is depleted, it uses spiritual power.

After depleting it again, he'd pass out.

Speaking of which, he hasn't tried, using the Power of Synthesis to combine two transcendent objects!

He's only touched on the edges at most.

Like flower petals, stems.

It should increase consumption, logically...

Hang in there, once he swaps for two witchcraft spells, he'll have to see if Witchcraft Models can also be synthesized.

If so, can One Ring Wizards' Lifebound Magic Rings be synthesized?

Dreaming of the future, Lin Suo drifted off into a sleepy haze.

The next time he woke up, it was already the next day.

Days passed one after another.

His life was extremely regular; by day, he'd run the bookstore to keep up appearances, meanwhile meditate + take medicine to improve spiritual power, and work on increasing the Skill Level of various skills.

At night, he'd train using the Knight Breathing Method, striving to break through the Peak Knight Rank as soon as possible, only sleeping towards dawn.

```

It is said that after reaching the peak of a Knight's rank, one's lifespan will increase to a certain extent.

In the personal status scanned by the Magic Cube.

There is a parenthesis after the age, which refers to his lifespan limit.

72!

This number would be considered long-lived in modern times, but compared to Valia, it is still just a child.

Longevity Species, who wouldn't envy that?

Suddenly, a month has passed.

It's been four months since touching down; starting from today, it's the fifth month.

The weather in Koster is getting colder.

As winter approaches, the clothes of passersby get thicker.

Standing in front of the window, after admiring the bustling scene of people coming and going, soaking in the familiar atmosphere of human habitation.

Lin Suo, as usual, heads to the Sunshine Garden.

The growth period of Artificial Magic Plants—Enlightenment Flowers is quite short, generally ready for harvesting around three months.

It's just over a month for him.

But the Enlightenment Flowers have already begun self-pollination, their seeds will fall to the soil once the flowering period is over.

One plant can produce 3 to 5 seeds.

As a result, this flower will no longer possess the effect of enlightenment; there are gains and losses, quite normal.

Lin Suo only plans to harvest five plants, leaving the rest to grow, more and more isn't a dream.

Moreover, five plants can produce 45 bottles of Enlightenment Reagent.

Enough for his use, and he can save 15 bottles to sell and make some money back.

The rapid growth of Enlightenment Flowers also came at a certain cost.

Twenty-one pieces of Artificial Magic Stones were shattered; every time one broke, he would replace it. Synthesis is just a matter of moving his fingers.

This month, the Knight Rank still hasn't broken through.

The further along, the slower it gets.

The daily improvement is only 0.0-something.

He suspects it may have to do with approaching the limits of the Knight's path; the road often traveled is of course smooth.

The narrower the road, the harder it gets, which is reasonable.

Upon breaking through to the Peak Knight, integrating Breathing Techniques, blazing a trail never walked by others, will probably be even slower.

But that's not a big issue.

Taking advantage of cheats, just need to grind slowly.

Progress, even slow, is always better than none.

"Scan!"

[Lin Suo]

[Age: 19 (72)]

[Talent: Synthesize All Things]

[Rank: Upper Knight (99.1/100); Basic Wizard Apprentice (42/100)]

[Transcendent: Moon Disk Breathing Technique (Red Grade); Original Beast Breathing Method +4 (86/100); Round Pupil Meditation Method (89/100)]

[Skill: None]

[Skill: Language Master (Red Grade), Medicine (Red Grade), Noble Etiquette +3 (61/100), Cooking Skill +3 (9/100)]

[Status: Healthy]

"Almost done learning, to reach the Peak Knight Realm, should be feasible once Original Beast Breathing Method breaks through to Red Grade."

"What else to learn..."

"Sailing Skill is necessary; will definitely go out to sea in the future."

"How about learning Blacksmithing?"

Thinking it over, although Lin Suo is a modern person, he knows the what but not the why of many things.

Learning Blacksmithing is to better utilize the Power of Synthesis, looking for ways to control the synthesis outcome more precisely.

Once a skill is formed, every enhancement through Break Limit will lead to the understanding of many things and techniques. Once some principles are understood, there is a chance to synthesize and construct high-tech products.

Forget about cell phones, computers; those are beyond Blacksmithing's scope.

Firearms are definitely possible.

Worth a try, but only when he's got free time.

He looks at the mechanical watch he synthesized.

It's already 12 PM.

Time to pay Old John.

"The harvest season."
