Chapter 19 Basic Wizard Apprentice

...

Late at night.

The dark room on the second floor of Rhein Bookstore.

As there is only one Enlightenment Flower, Lin Suo does not dare to synthesize carelessly.

But he will not sit idly by either.

He took a light blue petal, a one-centimeter stem, and a leaf.

The main body is left unchanged.

Using logical deduction, he guessed that the petal has the strongest effect; synthesizing it with Mint Essence Liquid yields a 100-milliliter bottle of light blue liquid.

From green to blue.

Then he added Bitter Root Essence Liquid and Ai Qing Essence Liquid.

Both of these are ordinary medicinal substances with calming effects. After extracting them, Lin Suo re-synthesized them over ninety times to get a "Stacked Synthesis," which he then combined into one.

Just reaching the synthesis limit of one hundred times.

He finally obtained a bottle of transparent blue reagent.

The same procedure was repeated with the stem and leaf being the main materials.

Three bottles of reagent in total, the colors ranging from transparent blue—light blue—pale like water.

He hesitated for a moment.

Lin Suo drank the lightest reagent in one gulp. As soon as he consumed it, he felt a cool breeze rushing directly to his mind.

Amidst the vagueness, he seemed to see a darker space.

"Conscious Sea?"

It should be, but in the words of a wizard.

It's called "Spiritual Space."

Strike while the iron is hot; the reagent made from the leaf had poor effects, so Lin Suo hurriedly consumed the reagent made from the stem.

Boom, a silent booming, as if a lightning bolt had suddenly struck in his Spiritual Space.

He saw clearly.

Inside was a thin mist of white fog, controllable but hard to disperse, with something hidden in the center.

As the effect of the second bottle of Enlightenment Reagent wore off, Lin Suo was once again expelled from the Spiritual Space.

Again!

Using the reagent made from the petal.

This time, Lin Suo clearly saw a wisp of blue smoke rushing to his mind, eventually settling in the Spiritual Space, turning the light white fog completely blue.

It seemed like a heartbeat.

Expanding and contracting.

After a few breaths, the Spiritual Power mist quickly dispersed, and that hint of blue also faded.

The outside world.

Awakening from cultivation.

Lin Suo did not achieve a breakthrough in Spiritual Power transcending physical limits, but the effect of the Enlightenment Reagent on increasing Spiritual Power is undeniable.

The Enlighten Flower consists of eight petals in total.

He plans to experiment and make a comparison.

The stem and leaf have poor effects; it would take all combined to match one petal.

That is to say, he could make nine bottles of roughly equivalent Enlightenment Reagent.

Wizards will create Magic Compounds with special effects through one of the main branches of Alchemy—Alchemy Potion Science!

Lin Suo naturally has the same intention.

He believes that the essences produced with the Power of Synthesis must have some unique effects.

Combining them with the Enlightenment Petals as the primary ingredient.

Instead of using Alchemy, shortcutting it through direct synthesis.

Successfully or not, just trying it will reveal the answer.

If feasible, this would open up another avenue for wealth.

...

A night passed.

The experimental result left Lin Suo quite satisfied.

Nine bottles of Enlightenment Reagent, including the one he consumed, used up five to complete the Enlightenment, leaving four more bottles nearly equivalent to another Enlightenment Flower.

This is the charm of synthesis, as well as the charm of Magic Potion Science.

If one weren't to use a single plant like two, Magic Potion Science would not have been created; compared to the lavishness of ancient witches, nowadays everything is finely calculated down to every gram of material.

Lin Suo cheats in synthesis, not needing to mind details, as long as the logic holds, he can synthesize anything.

"Scan!"

[Lin Suo]

[Age: 19 (72)]

[Talent: Synthesize Everything]

[Rank: Upper Knight (93/100); Basic Wizard Apprentice (1/100)]

[Transcendent: Moon Disk Breathing Technique (red); Original Beast Breathing Method +2 (24/100); Round Pupil Meditation Method (25/100)]

[Skill: None]

[Art: Language Master (red), Medicine +3 (26/100), Noble Etiquette +1 (22/100), Cooking Skill +1 (41/100)]

[Status: Healthy]

"Good!"

Is this what it feels like to become a wizard?

Lin Suo closed his eyes and felt very clear within one meter around him, except for the absence of color, there was no discomfort.

This is just like the spiritual sense of a cultivator.

Spiritual power detection.

An instinct everyone acquires upon stepping onto the wizard's path.

Enlightenment Flower, generally used for breaking through physical limitations and then becomes useless, not because of drug resistance, but because of the name of the Enlightenment Flower.

It is a type of artificial magic plant.

Specially prepared for apprentices, it is gentle yet effective.

After use, the spiritual power tends to resist further enlightenment; Lin Suo used up five bottles without feeling any resistance, possibly because the enlightenment is not yet complete.

Now, it's time for the final verification.

After consuming another bottle of Enlightenment Reagent.

Lin Suo entered a meditative state; the Round Pupil Meditation Method refined spiritual power slowly like a turtle's pace, but the quality was good. Lin Suo didn't know how to confirm the quality of spiritual power.

He could only soothe himself like this. (ง•̀_•́)ง

This time, the blue airflow still merged with the spiritual power fog, and the cool and comfortable feeling filled his body again.

Effective!

Although the effect was minimal, it was still a method to increase training speed, whether due to the magic potion or the power of synthesis.

If it works, that's good enough.

Looking at the rank progress bar, which had increased by 1 point, Lin Suo was satisfied.

If he could increase by 1 point through meditation and add another 1 point with an Enlightenment Reagent daily, he could breakthrough to an Intermediate Wizard Apprentice within almost fifty days, less than two months.

Almost ready to take off.

But to get a supply of Enlightenment Flowers, he would still need to find some shortcuts; especially now that he had spiritual power, he could start learning witchcraft.

He couldn't think of practicing Full Circle witchcraft; he could only learn Apprentice level witchcraft.

Currently, there were only two options.

Either go to the shops of the three great wizard forces to buy, or beg at the Nature Association utilizing face fruits!

But owing too many favors made him cautious about getting entangled in the Elf Clan's vortex.

It was time to check with Old John for some information.

The bookstore was closed again today.

Lin Suo took out the Stacked Synthesis product made from sheepskin, cowhide, and pigskin—the Human Skin Mask! To mask his true appearance.

Stacking Synthesis Method, which allowed manipulation of the outcome by thought - truly face modeling was also one of the research outcomes.

Human Skin Mask, nothing as mystical as legends suggest.

Thin as cicada's wings and all, are utter nonsense.

On the contrary, it was quite thick.

Like a silicone mask.

It filled the features, changing eyebrows, forehead, chin, etc., like a hood.

It felt warm and delicate, with a natural warm touch.

Once worn, blood vessels and hair follicles were clearly visible; as long as he paid attention to the connection at the neck and the roots of the hair, ordinary people couldn't spot the disguise.

He pinched the extra cheek muscles.

Lin Suo marveled.

"More realistic than silicone (.人.), and feels better too."

Everything ready, coat, hat, handbag!

Also wearing his self-made mask and sunglasses, with an added scarf, he looked like someone suffering from a skin disease.

Starting from the back door, avoiding pedestrians, he took the small alleys.

Soon.

[Uncle John's Antiques Shop]

Bong bong bong~

The familiar sound of knocking on the counter made Old John rise from the recliner, seeing the visitor unable to make out even a hair, he was quite speechless.

Like someone dealing with stolen goods.
