Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 142: He’s Not Interested in Starlight Tower?

Chapter 142: He’s Not Interested in Starlight Tower?

Starlight Calendar 1256, Autumn Curtain Moon (October).

The chill in the air was already quite noticeable, and this year’s snow might fall earlier than usual.

Meditation Chamber.

Su Nan sat cross-legged on the floor, slowly opening his eyes. A flash of joy passed through them.

The fifteenth Star Ring, constructed!

“Only three more Star Rings left.”

Su Nan let out a long sigh, pushing down his excitement, and opened his panel.

**[Su Nan · Arnest, Human Male]**

**[Spirit 48.03/Constitution 43.77]**

**[Skills]**

Star Ring Meditation Method Lv16 (23/3,000,000)

Potion Crafting Lv4 (8345/10,000)

Creature Modification Lv3 (3025/6000)

Puppetry Refining Lv5 (374/20,000)

Magical Item Crafting Lv4 (5031/10,000)

“Three million proficiency, at the current rate, it will take about two years.”

“However, if I can utilize Divine Energy to increase my Spiritual Power later, the speed should be even faster.”

Su Nan’s lips curled slightly.

The remaining three Star Rings should be constructed within ten years.

Then it would be only Spiritual Power and Talent Crystal left.

Looking down, among the four skills, Puppetry Refining was the fastest-growing, at a unique level 5.

After all, Su Nan had been frantically crafting various Magic Puppets for the past few years, and his proficiency had increased rapidly.

On the other hand, Potion Crafting, which was initially far ahead, had slowed down due to the production of low-level potions being handed over to apprentices in the base. Su Nan only needed to synthesize them, and with less crafting, his proficiency naturally slowed down. ŘάꞐô₿Ès̈

Magical Item Crafting and Creature Modification were the same, with less and less practice.

Especially the latter, it was only used when enhancing the bloodlines of the Stealthy Dragon and the Death Knell Strike, and its proficiency had barely increased.

Even so, being able to raise the four skills to this level during the Wizard Apprentice stage, he was the only one on the entire Starlight Continent who could achieve this.

Other apprentices didn’t have as many resources as he did to practice.

Stretching, Su Nan took out the Trading House key, patiently waiting for a while before feeling it activate.

He immediately activated the key and entered the Mysterious Wooden Hut.

Tonight was the once-a-month gathering of the Mysterious Wooden Hut.

The new member hadn’t participated in the last gathering, Night Owl said he had something to do, but he should be here this time.

Opening his eyes, Su Nan immediately looked around and indeed found a new member.

The other party wore a gray robe, and from the faintly visible enchantment patterns, it was clearly a magical item.

The robe concealed his body completely, and the only exposed face was covered by a plain white mask.

The other members of the Mysterious Wooden Hut were also sizing up the new member discreetly.

After waiting patiently for a while and seeing no one else entering, Night Owl announced the start of the gathering.

“First, let me introduce the new member, this is the ninth Wizard Apprentice of the Mysterious Wooden Hut.”

Night Owl turned towards the gray-robed figure with the white mask.

“According to the rules, the true identities of all members of the Mysterious Wooden Hut are confidential and must not be revealed. For the sake of convenience, we each have our own code names. You should choose one too.”

The gray-robed figure pondered for a moment and said, “Then call me Hunter.”

As the gray-robed figure’s deep voice fell, the words ‘Hunter’ slowly appeared on the table in front of him.

“Welcome, Hunter.”

Night Owl smiled slightly.

“Now let’s start tonight’s trade.”

Then came the familiar trading process.

Apart from Black Forest and Traveler, all the other members were present, taking turns to bring out items for mutual trading.

Hunter observed the trading process without making a sound. He quickly realized that the Wizard Apprentice called Player seemed to have an extraordinary amount of resources.

Not only did he bring out a considerable number of first-order potions and alchemical-level magical items for trading, but when purchasing from others, he used rare Magic Stones!

Moreover, from the look of others, it seemed like this was not just the case tonight.

As if sensing Hunter’s surprise, the staff sitting next to him smiled and whispered, “Player is the richest among us, possessing a large amount of resources. Ever since he joined the Mysterious Wooden Hut, the trading volume of our organization has increased by several levels.”

“I see.”

Hunter looked at Su Nan in astonishment.

Noticing his gaze, Su Nan turned his head and nodded slightly.

Hunter quickly returned the nod in greeting.

He could tell that the others treated Su Nan with a hint of respect.

This was clearly not just because he held a large amount of resources, but more likely because of his strength.

He is a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice with deep roots and formidable strength.

Hunter made his judgment.

The trading proceeded quickly, and Hunter also made two bids, purchasing a bottle of first-order potion from Su Nan and two Sun Grasses from Rose.

Soon, it was Hunter’s turn to sell items.

To everyone’s surprise, he brought out a stone inscribed with symbols.

The expression behind Su Nan’s mask instantly turned strange.

Under everyone’s puzzled gaze, Hunter spoke with a meaningful tone:

“Everyone, this is a key.”

“A key to Starlight Tower!”

As his words fell, the five people present, except Su Nan, were all stunned.

“One of the three great inheritances, Starlight Tower?”

“Really?!”

“Do you know where Starlight Tower is?”

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Even Night Owl couldn’t help but cast a surprised look at Hunter.

He never imagined that Hunter’s first trade after joining the Mysterious Wooden Hut would be something so important!

Of course, that was assuming Hunter was telling the truth.

As if thinking of something, a thoughtful expression appeared on Night Owl’s eyes.

Staff was the first to come to his senses, solemnly saying, “How can you prove what you said is true?”

Hunter seemed to have anticipated this, calmly saying, “I can make a sworn oath contract.”

Hearing Hunter’s words, everyone no longer had any doubts and their eyes instantly burned with desire for the symbol-inscribed stone.

That was Starlight Tower!

One of the only three great Wizard inheritances on the Starlight Continent!

It was said that as long as one entered, there was a great chance of becoming a full-fledged Wizard.

In the Starlight Continent, where elements were scarce and resources were poor, this was almost the only hope for those Third-Rank Wizard Apprentices to become Wizards!

“Starlight Tower opens every twenty years, and the location of each appearance is randomly unstable, only those with the key can find Starlight Tower and enter it. As far as I know, the next time Starlight Tower opens will be in ten years.”

Hearing Hunter’s words, everyone’s eyes grew brighter.

“Name your price.” The hoarse voice of Corpse could not conceal the heat, his gaze fixed on Hunter, “What do you want to trade for?”

Hunter didn’t speak, instead looking at Su Nan.

Seeing this, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

They almost forgot, Player was still here!

If he wanted the Starlight Tower key, no one here could compete with him!

However, to their surprise, Su Nan shook his head: “I’m not interested, you guys trade.”

Hunter was stunned.

He was counting on using the Starlight Tower key to get a big haul from the wealthy Su Nan, but unexpectedly, the other party didn’t follow the script.

Could it be that he’s not interested in Starlight Tower?

That shouldn’t be right!

Is there anyone in the world who isn’t interested in Starlight Tower as a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice?

Hunter was puzzled.

Rose, Staff, Heart, and Corpse were also stunned, confused as to why Su Nan wasn’t interested.

Only Night Owl remained calm.

He had already figured out the key connection.

“Starlight Tower, Starlight Duchy, hey, it turns out there is a connection between the two. I thought it was just a coincidence in name.”

Coming to his senses, seeing that Player was really not going to bid, everyone was overjoyed.

As long as Player didn’t participate, their chances of obtaining the Starlight Tower key were greatly increased.

Hunter, on the other hand, was extremely disappointed and could only say, “My first choice is potions and gems, other things can be considered depending on value.”

As soon as his words fell, Corpse immediately bid first:

“Gems worth ten thousand gold coins, plus five miniature Soul Crystals!”

Immediately afterwards, the others didn’t want to be outdone and chimed in.

“Two bottles of Tranquility Potions, plus gems worth twenty thousand gold coins!”

“Gems worth thirty thousand gold coins!”

The price climbed steadily.

This was probably the most competitive trade in the history of the Mysterious Wooden Hut.

Everyone showed a determined look, as if they had to get the key.

Su Nan sat calmly on the side, watching the five of them bidding against each other.

If possible, he would also want the Starlight Tower key.

Although he already had one, he could give it to Kei.

But looking at Night Owl and the others, they were clearly determined to get the key, sparing no expense.

If it would take a hefty price to get the key, he’d rather decline.

After all, letting Kei enter Starlight Tower was to obtain the Dawn Potion that could extend his lifespan. He could just wait until he entered Starlight Tower later and figure out a way to get one and give it to Kei.

Compared to fighting for the Starlight Tower key, Su Nan was more curious about how Hunter got it.

After all, as far as he knew, the Starlight Tower key was supposed to be only with Evans.

“Could it be that Hunter knows Evans? Or did he steal it from Evans?”

“Speaking of which, Night Owl once said that Hunter escaped from Sauro of the Everlasting Society. Could this have something to do with the Everlasting Society?”

Su Nan’s mind flashed with various possibilities.

Just then, the bidding for the Starlight Tower key finally ended.

In the end, Staff won the Starlight Tower key with a high price of thirteen bottles of Tranquility Potion and gems worth sixty-two thousand gold coins.

Su Nan was not surprised by this result.

After all, before he joined the Mysterious Wooden Hut, Staff was the most generous member in the organization.

Moreover, if he guessed correctly, Staff was indeed from the royal family of the Golden Empire, which would explain his generous spending.

The Golden Empire was the most powerful country in the Southeast Region of the Continent, bar none.

Tranquility Potion is a first-order potion that aids meditation and costs about three hundred gold coins each.

Ultimately, Staff spent nearly sixty-six thousand gold coins to obtain the Starlight Tower key.

The price was undoubtedly high.

However, from Staff’s look, he was clearly very satisfied with the outcome.

Rose, Heart, and Corpse looked a bit reluctant.

Unfortunately, their fortunes were inferior to others, and they could only hold back their displeasure.

Su Nan looked deeply at Hunter.

Since he was willing to trade the Starlight Tower key, it meant that he had another key, or perhaps even more.

Perhaps the same trade might happen again in the future.

Frostfall Moon (November).

White snowflakes dotted the earth.

The snow this year did fall earlier than usual.

Compared to the icy cold wind howling on the surface, the underground world was only slightly cooler.

Inside the city of Yuhula, the Human-Faced Lion Warriors still walked around the streets shirtless.

In Base 2, laboratory.

A wide workbench was filled with countless test tubes, each containing blood drawn from the Death Knell Striker, with a uniform capacity of 100 ml.

“This much blood should be enough.”

Su Nan muttered, opening the Magic Cube and putting in the blood one by one, his eyes fixed on the synthesis interface.

As more and more blood was put in, the bloodline concentration on the synthesis interface kept increasing.

59.13% 64.79% 71.34% 84.11%

When there were only eight test tubes left on the workbench, the bloodline concentration on the synthesis interface finally broke through 100%, and the information suddenly changed.

**[Hisstous Worm Blood, Purity 1.25%, contains 1 standard unit of Divine Energy. Injecting it into the human body has a very small probability of fusing with the Hisstous Worm bloodline and a very high probability of causing rejection. Severe cases can lead to death. The stronger the constitution and spirit, the higher the fusion success rate and the lower the rejection. ]**

“Success!”

Su Nan was overjoyed.

As he had expected, even without enhancing the bloodline concentration of the Death Knell Striker, it was possible to create Divine Energy by synthesizing blood.

Although the description indicated that the contained Divine Energy was very little, at least it proved that his method was correct.

Su Nan immediately extracted the Divine Energy from the blood and absorbed it immediately.

Unlike the Divine Energy obtained from deities, the Divine Energy in these naturally-born divine creatures did not contain faith power, there was no risk of faith pollution, and it was very pure, allowing for direct absorption.

After digesting the Divine Energy, Su Nan opened the panel and found that his Spirit had increased by 0.25.

“Not bad!”

Su Nan smiled contentedly.

After all, there was only 1 standard unit of Divine Energy, far less than what he had extracted from the divine remains before, an increase of 0.25 Spirit was already quite good.

The key was that this was sustainable.

As long as the Death Knell Striker was still around, he could keep drawing blood, artificially creating Divine Energy, which was equivalent to having a new way to increase his Spiritual Power periodically.

“It takes about eight months worth of blood to create 1 standard unit of Divine Energy.”

“That means I can get an additional 0.37 increase in Spiritual Power annually, on average.”

“No, that’s not right, the more Spiritual Power I have, the harder it becomes to increase, the subsequent increase should gradually decrease.”

“But even so, it can shorten the time it takes for my Spiritual Power to break through 60.”

Su Nan thought of the Death Knell Striker locked in the confinement area.

Considering its contribution, he would take it out of the confinement area and give it a more comfortable environment.

Otherwise, living in a dark dungeon and being drawn blood all the time, it would definitely develop depression.

Of course, the defense still needs to be strict.

It just so happened that he wasn’t using that Mithril Magic Puppet, so he would let it guard the Death Knell Striker.
