The Synthesis Wizard

Starlight Calendar 1297.

The deep-sea Nagas surrendered to the Star Alliance.

With this, the two most powerful marine tribes of the Rainbow Sea had submitted to the Star Alliance, propelling its development of the Rainbow Sea into a period of rapid growth.

With Lize assisting in managing Star Alliance affairs, Sunan could finally focus on his training and the construction of the wizard tower.

Thanks to absorbing divine energy through synthesized elemental crystal cores, Sunan's mental refinement continued to progress steadily.

The construction of the wizard tower also advanced slowly but surely.

Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Starlight Calendar 1304.

Kuyi finally reached the pinnacle of the fourth-circle legendary knight level, unable to advance further.

To progress, he had two paths: becoming a bloodline knight or an elemental knight.

Ultimately, Kuyi chose the bloodline knight path as previously decided.

After much consideration, he selected the Magma Dragon bloodline for fusion.

Magma Dragons belonged to the dragonkin species and were at the pinnacle of high-grade dragonkin, with a bloodline concentration exceeding 85%.

Even within Dragon Forest, Magma Dragons were among the most powerful dragonkin.

Especially with the implementation of the high-grade dragonkin bloodline enhancement plan over the years, the bloodline concentration of high-grade dragonkin in Dragon Forest had generally increased.

The Magma Dragon tribe, with its already high bloodline concentration, didn't see as significant an increase as other dragonkin, but their concentration still rose by 3% to 5%.

The most powerful Magma Dragon had a bloodline concentration of 91.27%.

The bloodline Kuyi was about to fuse came from this Magma Dragon.

For Sunan, performing the bloodline knight transformation surgery wasn't particularly difficult.

After spending three days in the lab, Kuyi emerged as a bloodline knight.

On the training ground, the sound of blades slicing through the air was ceaseless.

Visible shockwaves rippled out, stirring up dust on the ground.

After a while, Kuyi finally stopped swinging his sword, stepping off the training ground with satisfaction.

"How do you feel?" Sunan asked.

"Great, absolutely great!" Kuyi's face was full of excitement. "I feel filled with power, and my physique has noticeably strengthened!"

Sunan smiled, "Magma Dragons are renowned for their physical strength. Fusing their bloodline results in significant bodily enhancements."

"Additionally, your energy resistance and control over fire elemental particles should have improved significantly. Of course, the latter won't match that of a fire elemental knight."

Kuyi chuckled, "That's enough. I mainly did this to extend my lifespan; the power boost is secondary."

"By the way, can this bloodline ability be passed to offspring?"

Sunan shook his head, "No, it can only slightly optimize the offspring's genes, making them inherently stronger."

Neither bloodline knights nor wizard apprentices who fused bloodlines achieved perfect fusion, so their abilities couldn't be inherited.

True perfect bloodline fusion required a wizard to continually develop bloodline abilities after fusion, activating bloodline genes and enhancing them to rival or surpass the original bloodline creature.

Only at this level would the bloodline truly become an inseparable part of the genes, inheritable by offspring.

Thus, every founder of a powerful bloodline wizard family was extraordinary!

Hearing Sunan's explanation, Kuyi felt a bit disappointed.

Still, optimizing genes was beneficial.

Family genes were improved over generations; expecting a single generation to make a giant leap was wishful thinking.

Thinking of this, Kuyi sighed.

Just two days ago, his twelve-year-old son underwent a talent test but failed.

To date, over ten of his children had been tested, but none had wizard potential, leaving him quite distressed.

Could it be that the Ayanest family has weak wizard genes?

But that can't be, considering Sunan, the continent's only wizard, emerged from it!

Perhaps his own wizard genes were poor?

"Thinking about talent tests again?" Sunan patted Kuyi's shoulder. "These things can't be forced."

Sunan had a rough idea of what Kuyi was thinking.

Strictly speaking, 'Sunan Ayanest' wasn't born with wizard potential either. Otherwise, his predecessor wouldn't have died from forcing himself to read initiation books, inadvertently benefiting Sunan.

His eventual wizarding success was largely thanks to the Rubik's Cube.

Whether the Ayanest family had weak wizard genes was uncertain, but they were certainly not exceptional—much like most families, fairly ordinary.

In fact, to date, aside from the Russell family, no family had produced two wizard apprentices simultaneously.

Perhaps a thousand years ago, there were many wizard families, but over the millennia, their wizard genes had faded, leaving ordinary people.

Even the Russell family, which persisted, did so by marrying wizard apprentices from outside and employing certain methods.

From what Sunan understood, the Russell family had practiced close kin marriages for over seven hundred years.

But with the rising number of wizard apprentices, perhaps in a few hundred years, the Starlight Continent would see a second or third family like the Russells.

Time flew by, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.

In the alchemy chamber, the sound of bubbling liquid was constant.

Sunan used Mage Hand to add the final ingredient to the liquid, which quickly turned a starry deep blue like blue ink, gradually ceasing to boil.

Sunan removed the glass beaker from the flame, allowing ice energy particles to rapidly cool the liquid to room temperature, then poured it into a potion bottle.

And so, a potion was completed.

Sunan placed it in the Rubik's Cube, and the synthesis interface immediately displayed information:

[Minor Construction Potion (Tier 2/Superior), increases mental activity and speeds up talent crystal construction, duration depends on potency consumption, no stacking effect, requires 60 mental points to consume.]

"It worked!"

Sunan's face lit up with a joyful smile.

After spending so much time and effort, he finally succeeded in developing a weakened version of the construction potion.

With this, he could synthesize a potion as effective as the original construction potion.

Recovering from his joy, Sunan quickly made dozens more bottles of the minor construction potion, placing them in the Rubik's Cube to produce a single superior Tier 3 construction potion.

"The best construction potions in the Starry Tower were of medium quality, most were inferior, and effectiveness-wise, this one is at least thirty percent better."

Sunan estimated the cost of such a potion at around 122,000 gold coins.

To be honest, this cost far exceeded the manual production cost of a construction potion.

But in the current environment, having it was already fortunate.

At least in terms of the construction potion's importance, this cost was acceptable.

"For an average mid-level talent crystal model, three superior Tier 3 construction potions suffice, totaling less than 370,000 gold coins."

For any third-level wizard apprentice capable of constructing a talent crystal, earning 370,000 gold coins wasn't difficult, though they often couldn't buy the potion even with money.

"With the method to synthesize construction potions, the Star Alliance can now potentially train wizards."

Looking at the azure liquid in the potion vial, Sunan smiled contentedly.

A viable wizard faction must master the method of making construction potions.

Otherwise, without training wizards, how could it grow and develop?

Without construction potions, a third-level wizard apprentice's chance of advancing to wizard status would be two to three times harder.

Without them, only true geniuses or the extraordinarily lucky, who stumbled upon rare resources that sped up talent crystal construction, could advance.

Stowing the construction potion, Sunan called up his personal panel.

[Sunan Ayanest, Male/Level One Wizard]

[Liquefaction: 50.93%]

[Skills]

Star Ring Meditation Method Lv19 (MAX)

Potion Making Lv5 (6231/20000)

Biological Modification Lv5 (2933/20000)

Puppet Crafting Lv5 (13173/20000)

Magical Item Creation Lv4 (9509/10000)

"At this rate, I should reach first-level crystallization in another twenty-five to twenty-six years."

"I have the construction potion, now I just need the talent crystal model."

Research on the second talent crystal model was ongoing, progressing smoothly.

After returning from Falling Star City, Sunan obtained all of the Starfall Society's talent crystal models from Lize.

Besides the 'Falling Star' high-level model, there were four mid-level and sixteen low-level models, providing plenty of inspiration.

At this pace, developing a finished product before reaching first-level crystallization was more than feasible.

Bringing Lize on as an assistant was indeed a wise decision.

After quickly familiarizing herself with Star Alliance affairs, Lize efficiently managed everything in an orderly fashion.

Crucially, her knowledge helped Sunan solve many problems.

For instance, the tentacle puppet designs solved the issue of high-level puppets for the wizard tower's internal golem army.

After studying the tentacle puppet designs, Sunan decided to use adamantine golems as the main force, supplemented by a few tentacle puppets and secret puppets, to form the wizard tower's golem army.

The only problem was that some materials for the tentacle puppets couldn't be found on the current Starlight Continent, requiring research into suitable substitutes.

However, this was easier than developing new wizard-level puppets from scratch.

Another issue was the production of soul crystals.

During the development of the Rainbow Sea—mainly through battles with the sirens and deep-sea Nagas—the Star Alliance acquired many soul crystals, alleviating the shortage.

But with the sirens and deep-sea Nagas surrendering, producing more soul crystals became a pressing issue.

For this, Lize had a solution.

Wizards discovered that during undead transformation, the fusion of death and life energies created a peculiar energy, triggering an energy in the plane, causing a chain reaction that communicated with the world's ghosts.

These ghosts would emerge from spatial cracks, eager to seize bodies and revive.

Thus, wizards had the idea to lure ghosts using undead transformation, then use gems to absorb them and create soul crystals.

This method of producing soul crystals cost only a small amount of gems, gold, and silver for the undead transformation array, and even third-level wizard apprentices could execute it, making it quite convenient.

The only downside was that ghosts attracted this way weren't of high quality, only suitable for producing micro and small soul crystals.

But for Sunan, this wasn't an issue.

As long as he had micro soul crystals, other levels could be synthesized.

After successfully using this method to produce over ten micro soul crystals in a trial, Sunan quickly promoted it at Starlight Academy, offering missions to acquire micro soul crystals, solving the Star Alliance's soul crystal shortage.

Additionally, Lize knew how to build teleportation arrays.

Though they could only teleport short distances under a thousand kilometers, they were invaluable, significantly improving the Star Alliance's transport capabilities.

Previously, the Star Alliance relied on Dragon Forest's space channels for pseudo-long-distance transport.

But as the Star Alliance's territory expanded, the number of space channels increased, and Dragon Forest's burden as a transit hub grew heavier.

Especially after unifying the Starlight Continent, over five hundred city-states used Dragon Forest to transport goods at peak times, impacting its normal operations.

Carolina had reported this issue to Sunan early on.

But back then, Sunan had no solution until Lize appeared.

The teleportation arrays were a godsend.

In Lize's second year managing the Star Alliance, the plan to build a teleportation network was implemented continent-wide.

Though progress was slow due to manpower shortages, Sunan was optimistic.

Once the teleportation network was fully established, the Star Alliance's transportation ability would make a qualitative leap.

If they could expand the number and density of teleportation arrays and reduce usage costs, allowing ordinary people to use them, it would greatly boost economic development.

Transportation is the lifeline of the economy and the link of civilization.

Comprehensive, developed, and convenient transportation conditions greatly promote commercial and trade prosperity, increasing economic activity's frequency and scale, thereby driving rapid economic growth.

The teleportation network's importance to the Starlight Continent's development was on par with sub-magical technology.

In Sunan's eyes, Lize was an inexhaustible treasure trove, always revealing invaluable knowledge.

He eagerly anticipated Lize bringing more changes to the Star Alliance, making it stronger and more prosperous.
