trials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back to the words of the auxiliary intelligent life earlier, Sunan had a faint suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably the auxiliary intelligent life expelled everyone else from the Star Tower, just to muster all available energy against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder the Star Tower suddenly faced intense external attacks; it’s likely the Truth Council and the Scepter are attacking the defense array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding this, Sunan’s face instantly broke into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, the auxiliary intelligent life must expend most of its energy maintaining the defense array, leaving not much to deal with him temporarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snapping out of his delight, Sunan continued his exploration upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the Star Tower was mainly used for inheritance, it still had basic facilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the trial hall, there were also residential areas, cultivation areas, experimental zones, planting zones, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the planting zone seemed unmaintained, likely due to a lack of staff, with no magic plants nurtured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After searching around, Sunan only found a batch of well-preserved magic plant seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The variety was fairly rich, about two to three hundred kinds, and the quantity was quite considerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Presumably, they were prepared for the ’slaves’ tied by an oath contract, facilitating their cultivation of magic plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without reservation, Sunan collected them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he continued exploring, only to be delighted to find a library on the next level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rows of bookshelves were meticulously arranged, each brimming with books, an overwhelming sight to behold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan rejoiced, scanning through the titles from the first bookshelf, growing increasingly pleased as he went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These books encompassed all foundational disciplines, from magic philosophy, world principles, and material studies to applied knowledge like magic plant cultivation, scroll transcription, and basic alchemy, all-encompassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They practically covered all essential knowledge from a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice to a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including over thirty kinds of talent crystal models.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet most were lower-level talent crystal models, with only a scant three middle-level models.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was the ’Bone’ Sunan spotted earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there were just three middle-level talent crystal models, it was already a considerable amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Wizard Influences’ Level 3 Wizard Apprentices could at most access middle-level talent crystal models.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upper-level talent crystal models were typically accessed solely by core members, so naturally, they wouldn’t appear here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, there were some books containing knowledge accessible only after attaining wizard status, including potions, magic, witchcraft artifacts, and high-level puppets, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although the Dark Throne’s intentions weren’t pure, they spared no expense in fostering ’slaves’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surely, slaves need enough power to create more benefits for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan smiled faintly, stowing all the books into his space ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially fretting over how to acquire wizard-level knowledge post-promotion, the Star Tower’s collection conveniently resolved most of his worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ensuring nothing was omitted, Sunan shattered the ceiling, directly entering the next level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here lay a spacious, bright hall, with tightly shut metal doors embedded in the surrounding walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above different metal doors were labels like ’Metal,’ ’Magic Plant,’ ’Potion,’ ’Gemstone,’ etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delighted, Sunan recognized he finally found his true target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level was indeed the warehouse district he sought!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan immediately dashed toward the metal door inscribed with ’Potion,’ manipulated the demon pattern core, cut the door into fragments, and strode boldly inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What lay before him were densely packed metal racks, sealed off with transparent glass, storing bottles of various colored potions, totaling at least six hundred bottles at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Active Potion, Dragon Blood Potion, Tolerance Potion, Awakening Potion, Evil Illusion Potion...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going over them one by one, Sunan discovered the lowest were all first-tier potions, and among them were those quite valuable in the first tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even within second-tier potions, there were precious ones like Evil Illusion Potions, capable of enhancing spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the innermost metal rack, Sunan finally found Construction Potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utilizing his immense spiritual power, he quickly counted the potions, his mouth spontaneously curling upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of eighty-six bottles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a massive profit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many Construction Potions, they should suffice for me to synthesize the super talent crystal model!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the Construction Potions alone recouped all the efforts this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming back to his senses, Sunan immediately packed up all the potions, following up with a thorough exploration of other warehouse rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Metal,’ ’Magic Plant,’ and ’Gemstone’ warehouses were predictably stockpiled with materials corresponding to their names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in the ’Other’ labeled warehouse, Sunan found over ten Mental Beads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a round of raiding, Sunan’s space ring was nearly stuffed full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the diverse spoils within, Sunan couldn’t be more satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The total value of these items was immeasurable, many of which were beyond appraisal with gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, Construction Potions, which were beyond description with even pricelessness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time he indisputably struck it big!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the central hall, Sunan flew upwards, shattering the ceiling to reach the next level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision was again met with an expansive cosmic galaxy, beneath him was a white jade stone floor, a short distance away was an elemental pool, besides which floated a familiar meatball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recognizing this familiar scene, Sunan immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level was evidently the control center of the Star Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wizard Apprentice, you have caused massive damage to the Star Tower. As per our rules, you will be listed in our organization’s wanted list!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please evacuate the Star Tower immediately, surrender all plundered resources, and enter the detention area on your own accord, awaiting the organization’s personnel for trial!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Sunan chuckled scornfully, casually asking, \"When will they come over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Specific time is unknown, depending on the recovery state of the planar barrier!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recovery state of the planar barrier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan raised an eyebrow curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this situation about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the planar barrier recovery about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the auxiliary intelligent life didn’t answer his query, only repeating its previous words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you can’t provide valuable intelligence, there’s no use keeping you around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan raised his hand, striking the meatball with a flash of lightning, instantly turning it into charcoal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Tower Spirit which can exist in non-physical forms, this auxiliary intelligent life typically has a physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such as the crystal ball atop the Dragon Remains Tower, which is Butler No.1’s physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the meatball was the physical body of the Star Tower’s auxiliary intelligent life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its death meant the Star Tower’s auxiliary intelligent life ceased to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, even without the auxiliary intelligent life, the Star Tower could continue basic operations following pre-set programs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantage now was Sunan no longer had to worry about the auxiliary intelligent life harassing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The elemental pool here is even larger than the one in the Dragon Forest, but alas, it can’t be taken away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan was somewhat eager for the Star Tower, yet this tower was destined to remain beyond his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he didn’t possess the Secret Seal Core of this tower, nor knew whether [Dark Throne] had left any failsafe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the tower itself was excellent material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he wish to construct his own Wizard Tower in the future, he could dismantle the Star Tower for materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Constructing the talent crystal model here is faster than in the Dragon Remains Tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan contemplated, deciding to simply construct the talent crystal model here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the Star Tower posed no threat to him; all combat forces were obliterated by him, leaving only the otherworldly creature summoning array and defense array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former was easily dealt with by sending a Secret Puppet near the summoning array to eliminate any arrivals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the latter, it now served as his protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Tower autonomously blocks all intruders outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless someone depletes the Star Tower’s energy and breaches the defense array, Sunan need not worry about interruptions as long as he remains here.\u003C\u002Fp>",1308,"2026-06-06T02:33:43.453Z",1,"novelbin.me","533830dbe930a07919211529aacb7d49ca3b6d857f80bb13ea89a858ccc4c118","synthetic-wizard-chapter-164","synthetic-wizard-chapter-277",369,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsynthetic-wizard-cover.jpg"]
