Chapter 152

Jie Ming smiled slightly, then felt a bit distressed.

"To be honest, I'm not sure how much it's better to price this thing; Mentor, do you have any suggestions?"

A flash of light appeared in Mentor Lei Ke's eyes: "Red Dust Magic Potion... right? How is the production of this magic potion?"

Jie Ming was not in a hurry and showed his trump card: "The production of this magic potion is limited by raw materials; currently, in my situation, I can only produce two bottles of this level of 'Red Dust Magic Potion' per month."

Two bottles a month...

Lei Ke felt a little regretful; although such a low output could sell for a higher price individually, it limited the market for this potion.

Fortunately, the effect was astonishing enough that the price could be raised even higher.

After thinking carefully, Lei Ke quoted an astronomical figure that would make an ordinary Tier 5 wizard go bankrupt.

However, for a Tier 6 wizard like Mentor Lei Ke, although this price was high, it seemed... quite reasonable!

It could even be said to be "worth more than the price"!

If it were just purely proportional purification of the soul and spiritual power, although the price would not be low, it would definitely not be this exaggerated.

After all, the thing least lacking in the endless planes is treasure.

Even treasures that directly allow a Tier 6 wizard's soul essence to reach Tier 7 are not in the minority, and even some larger wizard forces have channels that can fixedly produce such resources.

And pure emotional experience is just a cheap little toy for wizards to use for entertainment.

But if these two are combined, it is a "luxury item".

"Enjoying" while improving strength, coupled with extremely low output, the initial customer positioning of this thing should not be those "ordinary" Tier 6 wizards.

"If you trust me, future potions can be handed over to me for sale," Lei Ke said.

Jie Ming naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing and took out three bottles of magic potion on the spot and handed them over: "No problem, thank you, Mentor; this is all the magic potion I have refined during this period."

Mentor Lei Ke didn't hesitate either, took the three bottles of magic potion, and paid Jie Ming a huge amount of points through the Magic Network terminal.

Jie Ming looked at the number on his point account that jumped suddenly and increased by several digits, feeling a burst of wild joy in his heart.

"I paid you the price for three bottles in total, including the one I just took, but there is one more bottle that I can't give you money for," Mentor Lei Ke spoke again.

"I need to take this bottle of magic potion to my mentor as a basis to explain and win his agreement to manufacture a Tier 7 large-scale elemental pool for you. It will be enough to prove your ability to pay."

"Mentor, thank you..." Jie Ming felt a burst of gratitude in his heart.

This mentor of his was indeed doing his best for his affairs.

Lei Ke waved his hand and didn't say much.

After saying goodbye to Mentor Lei Ke, Jie Ming returned to the Golden Garden.

He looked at the huge point number on the Magic Network terminal and began to plan the next things in his heart.

Even with this Red Dust Magic Potion as a high-value commodity, with an output of two bottles per month, it would still take him eight or nine years to gather enough points to purchase a Tier 7 large-scale elemental pool.

This time was still long, but compared to the decades of boring refined gold manufacturing estimated before, the process of earning points had become much easier.

Moreover, Jie Ming had another idea in his heart—if he could travel to other planes and collect more Red Dust Qi, he could accelerate the process of point accumulation.

After all, although the Red Dust Qi of the Aeluoxia plane was huge, it ultimately had an upper limit.

And as it was conquered and transformed by wizards, the Red Dust Qi that the Aeluoxia plane could produce would become less and less.

And in the multiverse, there were definitely more than one plane like Aeluoxia that possessed a large number of intelligent lives.

For the next few months, Jie Ming once again focused most of his attention on research.

Because the main research was still the divine power belief network, he spent most of his time holed up in the Golden Garden.

Except for sending two bottles of magic potion to his mentor every month, he would only go to the Purgatory Sulfur plane during the gaps in his research to check the phased results of the construction team.

After burying his head in research for a few more months, Jie Ming devoted himself to it, even forgetting the passage of time in the outside world.

Until one day, he suddenly received contact from Amy and Victor.

On the Magic Network terminal, the projections of Amy and Victor appeared in front of him respectively.

Both of them had excitement and nervousness on their faces.

"Jie Ming! You guy, you're holed up in the laboratory again!" Amy's voice sounded much more stable.

"What happened? To be able to make you two contact me at the same time." Jie Ming was a little puzzled.

"We are fully prepared," Victor said, his tone carrying a trace of heaviness, "After nearly a year of preparation, we have decided to conduct the next plane war."

A year!

Jie Ming's heart moved.

He only realized that so much time had passed since he was addicted to research.

"Are you in such a hurry to conduct the next plane war?" Jie Ming couldn't help but frown.

Every time after participating in a plane war, the rest time given by the workshop is half a year to five years. Although it can be adjusted freely, in Jie Ming's view, even five years is too rushed to fully study the gains of a plane.

What's more, Amy and Victor had only gone through a one-year rest period.

Amy sighed, her eyes showing obvious envy: "You are really good, Jie Ming. Unlike us, when research hits a bottleneck, we have to go to the battlefield to find a breakthrough. Is this genius... it really makes me envious to the point of jealousy."

"It's not really that way..." Jie Ming was a bit speechless.

Victor also nodded: "Yes, like you, it means that you are still in a stage of rapid development until now; how can we not be envious."

They said it very sincerely.

The path of a wizard is not smooth sailing.

When research hits a bottleneck and cannot be improved through meditation and experiments, many wizards will choose to go to the battlefield to seek new breakthroughs through life-and-death tempering or by finding more resources.

From one aspect, whether one can continue to research can also show the quality of a wizard's aptitude.

Only those wizards with extraordinary talent and endless inspiration can always immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge and enjoy pure improvement.

"We are already considered to have a long rest time among Tier 1 wizards; those combat-type wizards left even earlier... Do you remember Augusta?" Amy suddenly mentioned a name, "It is said that after she finished the shortest half-year rest period, she had already hurriedly joined a new battlefield, unable to bear staying in the academy at all."

Jie Ming nodded; that girl Augusta left a deep impression on him.

"I remember she had high talent..."

"Just high talent for meditation; on the path of a wizard, she is considered to have low talent. Being a combat-type also fits her characteristics," Amy joked with a smile.

The few chatted about this for a few more words, but didn't say too much.

For wizards, they were already familiar with this kind of thing.

"Take care," Jie Ming said to the two.

"Don't worry, we won't die easily!" Amy patted her chest.

"When your plane is built, remember to invite us to visit your plane," Victor also said with a smile.

After saying goodbye to the two, the projection on the Magic Network terminal disappeared, and Jie Ming fell into deep thought again.

Amy and Victor's words made him suddenly think of another thing.

He had indeed been burying his head in research, moving forward rapidly on the path of knowledge.

But wizards wanting to improve their power is by no means limited to research.

After thinking about it, Jie Ming decided to add a topic of improving his own combat power to his next research plan.

"Improving combat power..." Jie Ming whispered to himself, his gaze cast toward the rune wizarding tool in the center of the laboratory.

He sat on a high-backed chair, his fingertips tapping lightly on the edge of the table, his thoughts surging like a tide, conducting a comprehensive combing and assessment of his own combat system.

Conventionally, as a wizard, the core of their combat power is undoubtedly the number and quality of wizardry models constructed in the spiritual sea.

Every independently constructed wizardry model is equivalent to adding a talent ability to the wizard.

The most direct and effective way for a wizard to improve combat power is to constantly learn, analyze, and finally independently construct new, more powerful wizardry models.

The more offensive wizardry one masters, the richer the means, and the stronger the ability to deal with various situations naturally.

However, Jie Ming's situation is a bit special.

After he possessed a special wizarding tool like the rune wizarding tool, simply increasing offensive wizardry models seemed a bit redundant.

Or rather, the benefit is not as high as in other aspects.

And at the current stage, the three major wizardries in his spiritual sea are all auxiliary types, coupled with the diversification of rune wizarding tools, he basically does not lack means to deal with enemies.

Rather than blindly pursuing quantity, it is better to put energy into more breakthrough fields.

After thinking about it, Jie Ming cast his gaze on the metal disc on the table.

That was the elemental storage-type rune wizarding tool he had recently transformed.

"With the characteristics of the rune wizarding tool, there are two possibilities for enemies that cannot be killed even after exhausting all stored elemental power: they are very fast and cannot be hit, or they cannot be attacked from the beginning."

As for the possibility of enemies being much stronger than himself and not being able to be killed, that was directly ignored, because when encountering that kind of enemy, the primary thought should be how to save one's life.

The former type of enemy can use acceleration rune wizarding tools to strengthen oneself, while the latter is likely to have encountered a special situation similar to a magic-forbidden domain.

"Huh?"

Thinking of this, Jie Ming suddenly remembered that his elemental storage-type rune wizarding tool would also cause magic-forbidden during the recharging process.

"So... to make up for the weakness, I need to improve my combat power in magic-forbidden situations. It seems I need to strengthen my body as a final desperate means," Jie Ming's eyes flashed with understanding.

This is not the mainstream wizard path, but for him, it is an extremely necessary supplement.

Regarding the physical strength of wizards, there are actually some misunderstandings.

Many mortal legends think that wizards are just "fragile mages" hiding in the back to cast spells, and even some wizards themselves do not pay attention to physical improvement during the cultivation process.

But this is not the case; the physical fitness of wizards is not as weak as imagined.

In the process of absorbing elemental power through meditation and strengthening spiritual power, the wizard's body will unconsciously be tempered by elemental power and gradually strengthen.

This strengthening is subtle; although it does not have explosive muscles and steel-like bones like a warrior, the physique of a wizard is generally much stronger than that of ordinary mortals, and the resistance is also higher.

And there is no shortage of wizardry to strengthen physical fitness in the wizarding world; although these wizardries are not as dazzling as elemental attack wizardry, they can exert miraculous effects in specific situations.

Even, if necessary, wizards can perform transformation surgery on their own bodies to obtain a stronger physique.

Wizards' understanding of life is far beyond ordinary people; they can use alchemy, bloodline wizardry, biological transformation surgery, and even direct rune carving to perform physical transformation on themselves.

Some wizards, in order to pursue ultimate power, do not hesitate to transform themselves beyond recognition, completely abandoning the mortal form and becoming half-human, half-beast monsters.

But what it brings is abnormally powerful physical strength, which can even defeat living beings one level higher than themselves by pure physical strength.

However, despite these means, most wizards still do not care about physical strength, and even many magic potions themselves are obtained by infringing on the body to obtain more powerful spiritual power.

This is determined by the essence of wizard power. The reason why wizards are powerful is that they rely on the exquisite use of every portion of elemental power, through the understanding of various knowledge, in a way of using four ounces to move a thousand pounds, erupting with terrifying power ten or even a hundred times that of the original elemental power.

Physical strength is linear; how much strength the body itself has, the highest point of power that can be erupted is only that much strength, and there is almost no "amplification" to speak of.

But on the other hand, strengthening the body compared to strengthening spiritual power also has another benefit: the strengthening of the body has almost no bottlenecks.

The improvement of spiritual power and soul is limited by multiple factors such as talent, comprehension, and resources; the later it gets, the harder every step is.

And the strengthening of the body, although it also has its upper limit, generally speaking, as long as there are sufficient resources and suitable methods, it can be continuously improved upwards to reach a very astonishing level.

It is a path of "diligence can make up for clumsiness"; although the upper limit is not as high as elemental power, it wins in stability and controllability.

Therefore, as a supplementary means, there are quite a few methods to improve physical strength in the wizarding world.

Wizards also study the supernatural power of other planes and develop quite a few body strengthening technologies exclusive to wizards, and even specialized cultivation methods.

These technologies often integrate body-refining methods from different planes, bloodline curses, and even the power of divine remains, forming a unique wizard body-refining system.

Thinking of this, Jie Ming did not hesitate, directly opened the Magic Network terminal, and began to search for relevant technologies in the huge knowledge base of Plane Nuolun workshop.
