Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 955 Completing the Power of the Demonic Dragon and the Abyss

The witch Catherine's clone disappeared here; clearly, she had other things to attend to and naturally didn't have time to wait for him here for 24 hours.

Meanwhile, Locke checked his two great spells and found that both the Moon of Evolution and the Tree of Prosperity had been thoroughly cleansed by the Purification Pool, leaving them spotless and free of all impurities.

He soaked in the hot spring and began to think about how to make the most of this rare opportunity.

This was clearly compensation from his teacher, while the trip to the Little Wizarding World was his reward. Giving him a focused sub-project and agreeing to let him enter the key laboratory at Golden Crown Mountain was an affirmation of his abilities.

"This is a rare opportunity to reset your skill points."

Locke said.

"If we seize the opportunity, we should be able to eliminate many of the hidden dangers that were forced to remain in the past, especially on the side of the abyss power."

First, there's the abyssal energy cycle I developed during my apprenticeship by consuming large amounts of Eye Magic Potions.

Locke directly attempted to cleanse the abyssal energy cycle within his eyes using the two natural forces of the Tree of Prosperity and the Moon of Evolution, but no matter how he adjusted the spell model structure, the situation within his eyes only became more and more complicated.

The forces of nature mixed with the energy of the abyss, which ironically amplified the abyssal energy and created internal conflicts.

Locke opened his eyes, which had turned completely black, so black they resembled the eyes of a demon.

He immediately washed his eyes with the water from the purifying spring, and his eyes returned to normal.

"As expected, abyssal energy is also part of nature. So if I forcibly try to expel the abyssal energy from my body using life magic, I will only make things more complicated. Not only will I not be able to expel it completely, but I will also cause the two magical forces to mix together. But now the power of the Eye Demon is of no use to me. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

Because this abyssal energy cycle has been with him since his apprenticeship, and its integration with his power is quite high, Locke couldn't easily remove it in a short time.

After some thought, Locke changed his approach. He took out some materials from his Astral Ring and immediately concocted a purification potion specifically designed to counteract the energy of the Abyss. After completing the concoction, he consumed some of his psychic awareness and spiritual light.

But soon the purifying spring water, by cleansing its own vitality, replenished its depleted spiritual knowledge and spiritual light.

Locke drank the purification potion in one gulp, and instantly his eyes rolled back. His pupils disappeared, and the whites of his eyes completely filled them. The abyssal energy that had been residing in them was finally purified, the cycle was broken, and the energy was rapidly fading away.

Locke's face lit up with surprise.

It works!

But the next moment, his expression changed, because when he was purifying the abyssal energy, his Great Magic Evolution Moon was actually vibrating.

Locke immediately realized that when he was in the spell fighting competition, he had started from scratch to develop the full moon growth spell model. Because he relied heavily on the external magical pressure boost from the abyss energy, the underlying structure of his evolution moon spell model used a portion of the abyss energy.

Locke's expression changed slightly.

"Oops."

He immediately washed his eyes with spring water, instantly washing away the medicinal properties of the medicine he had specially prepared for his physical condition.

Locke sighed.

If it weren't for the Purifying Spring suppressing his actions just now, he would probably have seriously injured himself on the spot, and it would have taken him several years to recover.

This is the power of the magical spring water—the Spring of Purification.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the third-ranked Magic Spring in the Land of Three Swamps. I wonder what the effects of the second-ranked Wisdom Spring are, and whether Edgar ever bathed in it.

Locke pondered, "This abyssal energy is like a leech, a double-edged sword. Once it sticks, it's hard to get rid of. Life magic can't remove the abyssal energy, and potion magic can expel it, but it will affect the underlying structure of my Evolution Moon."

“It’s not impossible to remove it safely, but it would take about several decades, with medication used to remove it little by little. That doesn’t match my current rapid progress.”

Locke pondered, "It seems that even the Purifying Spring cannot solve the problem of Abyss energy. But this Abyss energy has always been a hidden danger for me. When I entered the 445th floor of the Abyss, I felt that the plane of the Endless Abyss was watching me. At that time, if I had just agreed, the Demon God Pillar would have descended upon me on the spot, causing me to fall into the Abyss."

"However, perhaps we can try a different approach."

Locke closed his eyes and entered a state of deep meditation, looking at his dragon bloodline.

At this moment, the heart-shaped curse on the forehead, the symbol of her dragon bloodline within her sea of ​​consciousness, had disappeared. The two attacks on the dragon wizard had exhausted the heart-shaped curse that the witch Catherine had left within her dragon bloodline.

However, the witch Catherine seemed to feel that she no longer needed the Heart Charm, so she did not cast it on herself a second time to suppress the dragon's bloodline.

The dragon bloodline, which should have been unruly, seemed to have been subdued or frightened by itself after abandoning its fighting spirit in front of the previous dragon wizard and retaining it.

My own fighting spirit at that time even surpassed its fighting spirit.

This is different from the combat talent bonus that the Dragon Bloodline gave him during his apprenticeship.

In that desperate situation, even the dragon bloodline had given up, but he had not.

This has led to the complete subservience of this demonic dragon bloodline to me.

Locke pondered as he looked at the incomplete dragon bloodline before him. He then glanced at the three-eyed tiger-cat bloodline on the other side, behind which floated two World Tree leaves.

"Although I have advanced to the Star Ring Wizard level, my two main bloodline powers have not yet advanced to the Star Ring Bloodline level."

"The World Tree gave me a hint: as long as I find the fruit of the World Tree, my Three-Eyed Tiger Cat can break through its limits and become a three-ring level nature guardian."

"I just don't know where to find the World Tree Fruit. I've looked up information before, but I have absolutely no clue."

"However, advancing the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline to the Star Ring is relatively simple. Two World Tree Leaves have constructed my Great Magic. I will then find a third World Tree Leaf to specifically enhance the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline. This only requires me to design a separate spell model. It's quite simple, since both are forces from the side of nature guardians, making them naturally easy to combine."

And coincidentally, he knew the location of a leaf in the wild world.

The World Tree Leaf itself is very powerful, and its main body is already at the Star Ring level, so it should be possible to enhance the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline to have 20,000 magic pressure.

By modifying some of the spell models related to the "intertwined branches" technique, it should be possible to achieve this.

Locke looked at his dragon bloodline.

"The Demonic Dragon bloodline is incomplete. Even if it can slowly advance to the Moon Ring, it will encounter a break in the path when it reaches the Sun Ring, but the Demonic Dragon bloodline will still be incomplete. Although it can be slightly repaired with advancement, the incomplete part will always exist because of the broken path."

Locke had a crazy idea.

Without the precious treasure of Golden Crown Mountain—the Spring of Purification—no one would dare to even think of such an idea.

The dragon's bloodline is incomplete and needs to be replenished, so I'll replenish it myself.

Locke pondered, "Let's change our approach. What I want is not for the abyssal energy to disappear, but for its drawbacks to disappear. The abyssal energy always attracts the attention of the abyssal plane, and it also has a chaotic nature, which brings a certain degree of chaos to my magic. But if I use the abyssal energy to replenish the dragon bloodline, the two evils can be combined, and the dragon bloodline can be used to suppress the abyssal energy."

"By mixing the chaos of abyssal energy into the bloodline of the demonic dragon... this can even further interfere with the Black Sun Tower's perception of my demonic dragon bloodline, and even related prophecies."

Locke's eyes brightened slightly.

How can abyssal energy be used to replenish the dragon's bloodline?
The two energies are completely unrelated.

But Locke had an idea—the Peach Killing Curse.

Locke used the Ganoderma lucidum plant to contact his senior brother, the wizard Trajan. Trajan was overjoyed to learn that Locke was safe and sound.

In the video call with the magical plant, the wizard Trajan said, "The previous situation did indeed fill me with anger, because we have never suffered such a great loss. I was already furious when Shirley got into trouble. If something else happens to you, I really want to become a dark wizard, a pirate, and specifically hunt down wizards of the Rose School."

Trajan's words were obviously spoken in anger.

"You want the spell model of the Peach Killing Curse? That might not be possible. It's a special inheritance of Golden Crown Mountain, with a clear lineage. I don't have the authority to give it to you."

Locke was stunned. He thought of Senior Sister Shirley, who had gone to the Abyss Ruins with him. He never expected that Senior Sister Shirley would not become a second-circle wizard and that something had happened to her.

Locke felt a little heavy-hearted. "How is Senior Shirley now?"

The wizard Trajan said, "I don't know. She got lost in the divine world of the Southern Divine Kingdom Academy. It was a wizard from the Rose School who secretly did this. I personally investigated this matter. According to my investigation, someone must have corrupted her soul with the divine power crystal of the Fallen Moon God when she entered the divine kingdom. She didn't realize it, but was imprisoned in the deepest part of the divine kingdom as a spy of the divine race. The Fallen Moon God is a god of the Persepolis divine race, holding many divine positions, and is a core figure of the Persepolis divine race."

Locke nodded. "I will make the wizards of the Rose Council pay the price. Is Senior Shirley really unable to return?"

Trajan the Wizard gave a wry smile. "It seems you're becoming more and more passionate about learning. That's good, junior brother."

"Logically, as long as the person is not dead, there is a possibility of returning. But the divine kingdom of the Southern Divine Kingdom Academy... is far too complicated. Even they themselves cannot fully control it. The teacher has already gone to deal with this matter and is negotiating with them."

"This is actually a loophole in the Divine Kingdom. It is said that the teacher and the chief wizard mentor of the Southern Divine Kingdom Academy have come up with a rescue plan. The teacher will spend money to hire a team of Dream Thieves from the Mind School in the Siming Waters to enter the core of the Divine Kingdom and fix the loophole. The Southern Divine Kingdom Academy can reimburse 70% of this cost, and the teacher has decided to bear 20% to 25% of the remaining 30% himself. However, according to business logic, Xia Li should bear at least 50% herself."

"The teacher is looking for a lawyer to sue the wizards on the Rose Council's side and is searching for key evidence. If she finds it, she can apply for compensation and request punishment from the Holy Wizard Court. Then, the magic stones that Shirley needs to pay can be paid with this compensation." "Of course, these are all under ideal circumstances. Because the Dream Thief team may not be able to rescue her, then the teacher will lose both her money and her life. Moreover, I haven't found any key evidence. I'm just guessing that it's related to the Rose Council. After all, the Fallen Moon Goddess is a relatively active false god among the Persepolis gods. Logically speaking, her divine power crystals shouldn't appear in the wizarding world. Shirley hasn't been to the gods' battlefield recently, so how could she have encountered the Fallen Moon Goddess? But the Rose Council has recently been at war with the Persepolis gods in order to seize a colony world..."

Trajan the Wizard's expression was serious. "Teacher, you are already a very good wizarding mentor. Most wizarding mentors wouldn't bother with this kind of thing."

"After all, this was also due to Shirley's own failure to advance."

“I was going to tell you these things anyway; this is what I wanted to tell you before your defense.”

"Because you and Shirley have a good relationship, I think you have the right to know these things."

Trajan the Wizard looked at Locke and said, "Moreover, the Rose Council has recently made significant investments along the Tianjiang River through a shop alliance called Olaye. Locke..."

A fierce glint flashed across Trajan's face.

"My teacher told me to stay calm and have self-control, but I don't have any self-control. All I know is that if someone hits me, I'll hit them back."

"I want you to make sure the Rose Council loses all its new investments along the Tianjiang River!"

Locke knew Trajan's character; he was not one to accept compromise or restraint. "I understand. Senior brother, you don't need to tell me that; I was just about to do the same."

Trajan the Wizard laughed. "I've recently mobilized my network of friends, and many of their articles have been inexplicably rejected after being submitted to journals. Hahaha..."

Trajan's eyes held a deep killing intent. "If I encountered Rose Council wizards in a lawless area of ​​the colony world, I'd want to tear them apart with my bare hands."

Locke blinked. In some ways, the wizard Trajan was like a rough-and-tumble hero, practically a war god within his own lineage.

His bloodthirstiness is too great.

No wonder his nickname among the dark wizards is "The Executioner".

Trajan the Wizard said, "You're soaking in the Purifying Spring, aren't you? I see. I won't waste your time. You can indeed reset your stats anytime over there, and many crazy ideas can be used."

"I can't give you the Peach Killing Curse. But I can give you a spell model I designed—the [Peach Guardian Curse]."

"This is a variation based on several basic spell models of the Peach Killing Curse. However, it is mainly designed to activate the magical plants. But like the Peach Killing Curse, it will become stronger as more people are killed, and it will absorb a portion of the magical power from the people killed. The Peach Guardian Curse can transform peach tree magical plants into special peach guard weapons."

“It’s a special kind of tree-man. You can think of it as a half-tree-man that has been transformed. In this way, I can turn this magical plant into a semi-automatic weapon in the hands of a wizard. This is my core magical power.”

The wizard Trajan said, "The Peach Guardian Curse is even better at absorbing energy. The power of a person killed by the Peach Guardian Curse can be completely absorbed into the curse. However, a curse can only absorb energy once, and there are certain hidden dangers. A person can only cast one Peach Guardian Curse at a time. This is because the absorbed energy cannot conflict with life energy, magical plants, or your own power, and there are also compatibility issues. In terms of compatibility, it is not as good as the Peach Killing Curse. The Peach Killing Curse is a spell model that has been developed over thousands of years by the wizards of our Golden Crown Mountain, and naturally it cannot be changed."

"And it must be a case of the strong confronting the weak."

"The strong devour the weak. Do you want it? I can teach you how, but as a fair trade, you'll need to pay me a certain fee."

Locke's eyes brightened slightly. "I need it."

It might even be more suitable.

The wizard Trajan pondered, "Then give me five million magic stones, and I can give you this spell model. That's already half price. I wouldn't sell it to an ordinary person for less than ten million magic stones. After all, this is one of my core magical powers. And under normal circumstances, I wouldn't go around selling it to others."

"Also, I can only give you the Star Ring version."

Locke nodded. The price of a regular second-ring spell model is about one million magic stones, and the price of a regular star ring spell model is about two to three million magic stones.

But Trajan's Peach Guard spell was clearly not comparable to ordinary star ring spells.

If this powerful spell were left outside, it could probably wipe out most wizarding lineages.

If this legacy were taken to lower-level wizarding territories or colonies, it would likely cause some wizards to fight tooth and nail for it.

Therefore, the price of Trajan's Wizard was indeed a discounted price, or even a deliberate attempt to accommodate me. If I could, I would have liked to buy it for ten million.

But the problem is that I really lack money.

I earn a lot, but my expenses are also high.

Therefore, he agreed to the deal.

There was no contract between the two. The wizard Trajan seemed to believe that Locke would not deceive him, so he allowed him to send the money later, and at the moment he directly gave him the Star Ring version of the Peach Guardian Curse.

Locke hung up the video call and quickly reviewed the magic of the Peach Guardian Curse.

Trajan and his teacher were the same person, both belonging to the same lineage of learning, and their understanding of botanical magic was similar. Therefore, Trajan always felt a strange sense of familiarity when he saw the spell models he designed.

Locke learned the Peach Guardian Spell at lightning speed and took advantage of the Purifying Spring's ability to 'reset skill points' to attempt to build the spell model several times, using the Purifying Spring to absorb the hidden dangers left by his impetuous behavior.

Two hours later, he barely managed to learn the Peach Guardian Spell.

"I only have one day to soak in the Purification Spring, and my preparations are insufficient, so it's impossible for me to use this opportunity to enhance the two ultimate spells that require a long period of forging. So far, my ultimate spells are already very satisfactory to me. Therefore, being able to use them to simultaneously resolve the energy cycles of the demon dragon and the beholder is already a bonus."

"Today, I will make these two forces completely my own, and imprint them with my own mark."

Locke closed his eyes and entered a state of advanced meditation. Then, the incomplete half of the demonic dragon projection in his sea of ​​consciousness held a golden holy peach!
After soaking in the purifying spring, Locke gained a deeper understanding of spiritual energy, and thus he formed a magical grafting relationship between his dragon bloodline and the golden peach.

This in itself allowed the magic of spring to enter the dragon's bloodline, filling the gaps in that part of the dragon's bloodline.

Within the destructive power of his own world-destroying demonic dragon, a new force suddenly emerged.

Since the Tree of Prosperity was his greatest magic, it actually enhanced his compatibility with his dragon bloodline.

Of course, if this dragon bloodline hadn't been beaten into submission by the dragon wizard, it probably wouldn't be so obedient in front of me, doing whatever I wanted.

In a way, he should thank the dragon wizard for helping him tame his dragon bloodline.

At this moment, Locke had the dragon bloodline holding the Golden Peach use the Peach Guardian Spell. Instantly, the Golden Peach automatically transformed and wrapped around the claw of the half-dragon formed by the dragon bloodline, turning into a magical plant with a special claw-like shape.

The claws are made of tree branches, the tree trunk is wrapped around the dragon claws, and the leaves are used as decorations.

Locke realized that he could actually use two Peach Guardian Spells at the same time.

Because he possesses the unique twin talent of the dragon race!

This is probably related to the fact that he has two extremely powerful spells.

At this moment, Locke had the Demon Dragon Bloodline wield the Golden Peach and use the Peach Guardian Spell to slash at the abyssal energy entity in his eyes.

Instantly, Saturn within his consciousness collided with the star representing the demonic dragon bloodline, causing a massive surge of demonic pressure. It was as if his body had been turned into a reaction vessel.

Normally, doing that would just cause it to self-destruct.

At this moment, the spring water in the purification spring trembled, forming a huge shock wave that caused the nearby mountains to shake.

Locke said, "It failed. It's alright, just use the Purifying Spring again. Let's try again."

"I will use the Peach Guardian Spell to unite the two forces."

Not far away, the fourth-circle wizard, the headmaster of Gaia Academy, who was lamenting the passing of spring at an ancient battlefield ruin, felt the tremor and looked up in the direction of the Purification Spring.

"Ok?"

The next moment, the tremor occurred again, and shortly after it disappeared, it happened again.

The Dean of Gaia Academy was starting to lose his composure.

"I remember it was Katya's little apprentice who used the Purifying Spring today..."

"He's soaking in a spring, and he's about to cause it to explode."

After thinking for a moment, Dean Gaia opened the Ganoderma lucidum plant and sent a message to a Sun Ring Wizard who was retiring and guarding the Purification Spring.

“Take a close look at the Spring of Purification.”

"I know the Spring of Purification is very stable."

"But I feel a little uneasy today!"
