Chapter 103: A Magic Emblem Core Worth Its Weight

In the workshop, the magic crystal forging furnace roared. Looking at the neatly arranged rare metals on the workbench, Su Nan’s face broke into a delighted smile.

“It took so much time and effort, but I finally gathered all the materials!”

After calming himself down, Su Nan steadied his mind and started preparing to refine the Magic Emblem Core.

He had already memorized the relevant refining techniques, so his hands moved without hesitation.

As his palm swept over the workbench, the rare metals and auxiliary materials instantly melted like snow, eventually transforming into a fist-sized silver liquid, floating above Su Nan’s palm.

Su Nan lightly tapped the silver liquid with his finger, then hooked it with a flick of his wrist. Immediately, a silver thread, thin as a hair, extended from the silver liquid. It began to trace a mysterious and complex enchantment pattern in the void, following his movements.

Then came the second, third, and fourth enchantment patterns. Their number increased rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The densely packed enchantment patterns intertwined and overlapped, gradually forming a hollow sphere. As time passed, they continued to fill the internal space with more enchantment patterns.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last silver thread transformed into an enchantment pattern, the original silver liquid had completely disappeared.

In its place was a flawlessly smooth silver sphere.

It looked like a silver ball cast from pure white metal. However, only when observed with a magnifying glass could one discover that it was actually constructed from countless, infinitely shrunk enchantment patterns, exquisitely crafted to the extreme.

The fist-sized silver sphere actually contained over a hundred thousand enchantment patterns!

Gazing at the Magic Emblem Core in front of him, Su Nan took a deep breath and let out a heartfelt smile.

This relaxation brought an indescribable weariness.

He had been drawing enchantment patterns for over twenty hours straight. Even for him, the mental strain was immense.

Su Nan put away the Magic Emblem Core, took a nap, and then meditated for several hours until his energy and spirit reached their peak. Only then did he begin to fuse the Magic Emblem Core.

Compared to the meticulous refining process that demanded absolute focus and allowed no room for error, the fusion process was significantly simpler.

Su Nan controlled the Magic Emblem Core, merging it into the center of his chest. It sank into his skin and disappeared, leaving only a coin-sized silver circular mark in the middle of his chest.

“Done!”

Su Nan snapped his fingers, turned, and left the workshop for the magic training area.

Next, it was time to test the power of the Magic Emblem Core!

Standing in the center of the training ground, Su Nan thought, and countless silver metal threads erupted from his pores, twisting and wriggling to form a gleaming knight’s sword.

In the next moment, Su Nan threw the knight’s sword.

With a piercing hiss, the knight’s sword shattered and melted into countless metal liquids, only to swiftly recombine into metal spikes the length of chopsticks. They shot out like bullets, piercing the humanoid target in the distance.

In the blink of an eye, the humanoid target was riddled with holes.

Immediately afterward, the silver metal, decomposed into countless tiny particles, reassembled in front of Su Nan, transforming into a half-man-high metal shield, exuding a heavy, indestructible aura.

Metal domes, armor, heavy hammers, arrows…

Su Nan controlled the metal liquid, constantly changing it into various weapons. It took a while before he finally stopped, a satisfied smile on his face.

It had to be said that the Magic Emblem Core’s ability to freely shape itself was incredibly useful.

It could be used for both offense and defense, achieving the ultimate combination of attack and defense.

Its high flexibility allowed for surprise attacks on the enemy during battle!

Just when the enemy thought they were attacking a metal shield, they would be facing a metal storm of countless spikes the next second.

Unless they were prepared, they would undoubtedly be caught off guard!

Su Nan then tested the Magic Emblem Core’s attack and defense strength.

The object of his test was still the dedicated iron golem.

The final test results left him very satisfied.

At his full strength, the Magic Emblem Core’s transformed weapons almost pierced the iron golem’s arm with a single strike!

Such a powerful attack, if it struck a vital point, could instantly kill a one-ring legendary knight!

Even martial energy shields and elemental forces couldn’t withstand it!

Furthermore, the Magic Emblem Core’s defense form was also incredibly sturdy, surpassing the defense of the Protective Ring by a margin.

Converted to defense points, it was roughly between 1500 and 1600.

The key point was that the Magic Emblem Core’s defense points didn’t decrease like the Protective Ring’s, being reduced by attacks.

As long as Su Nan’s spiritual power didn’t run out, any instant attack with a damage output below 1500 defense points could not break through the Magic Emblem Core’s defense.

Keep in mind that the power of a second-ring spell was only around 100 defense points.

In other words, as long as his spiritual power was sufficient, Su Nan could completely withstand any second-ring spell without harm.

“The only problem is the massive consumption.”

Ordinary control and deformation was fine, with minimal consumption.

But once used for offense and defense, the Magic Emblem Core’s consumption would drastically increase.

With Su Nan’s over 34 spiritual power, a short test left him feeling drained.

“In an all-out battle, my current spiritual power would probably only last about 2 minutes.”

“If the attacks are too fierce, that time will be even shorter.”

“However, in an evenly matched battle, 2 minutes would be enough to secure victory.”

Su Nan retracted the Magic Emblem Core into his body, feeling incredibly refreshed.

The Magic Emblem Core was difficult to gather materials for, and its fusion conditions were demanding. But thankfully, it lived up to its value, and its final power did not disappoint him.

When he dealt with the Hundred-Armed Monster, if he had the Magic Emblem Core, he wouldn’t have had to waste so many high-level rune gems.

“Although it still can’t compare to a wizard’s innate ability, it’s already pretty good.”

Su Nan had seen firsthand how powerful a formal wizard’s innate ability could be.

The Magic Emblem Core was powerful, but it was still a long way from an innate ability.

The author of 《Magic Emblem Core》 had exaggerated a bit.

However, Su Nan was confident that he could improve the Magic Emblem Core’s power to match, or even surpass, the description in the book.

After all, the Magic Emblem Core could be synthesized and strengthened.

All he had to do was refine enough Magic Emblem Cores and then synthesize and strengthen them!

“After synthesis and strengthening, maybe the Magic Emblem Core’s consumption will decrease?”

“If that’s the case, then I’ll be making a fortune.”

“But the materials are a problem.”

Su Nan sighed.

To gather the materials for refining the Magic Emblem Core, he had invested a significant amount of energy, time, and money.

While he had already researched suitable substitutes, reducing the need for further financial investment, many rare metals remained difficult to obtain. Gathering enough for a second, third, or even fourth set of materials would not be an easy task.

“Take it slow.”

The day after completing the refining of the Magic Emblem Core.

Su Nan received good news.

Kei’s wife was pregnant.

He was about to have a nephew or niece.

To celebrate, Kei specially invited Su Nan to a dinner.

After dinner, when the maidservant helped his wife back to their room, Kei cleared his throat and said:

“Is the Starfire Sect matter your doing?”

Su Nan raised an eyebrow: “What’s wrong?”

Kei smiled and handed him a battle report.

Su Nan took it and looked it over, a smile spreading across his face.

The battle report contained intelligence about the Starfire Sect’s recent string of attacks by unknown assailants.

Since they transitioned from hiding to open operations, the Starfire Sect’s secret locations had all become church branches in local towns.

However, in recent months, these church branches had been repeatedly attacked, resulting in heavy casualties.

Several nobles who had originally intended to embrace the Starfire Sect’s faith changed their minds after seeing this situation.

The Starfire Sect’s popularity among the people was also severely hit.

As a result, the Starfire Sect’s vigorous proselytizing efforts, which were just beginning to show results, suffered a major setback.

“The Starfire Sect has definitely suffered a heavy blow.”

Kei’s face was filled with glee, then he repeated his previous question.

Not long ago, Su Nan had said that he would handle the matter of obstructing the Starfire Sect’s proselytizing.

And now, this event happened.

Kei found it hard to believe that Su Nan had nothing to do with it.

Su Nan knew very well that it was Night Owl and his crew who had begun to act.

Based on the battle report, it seemed like they had gained quite a lot.

It seemed like he could get his hands on a lot of Divine Blood Crystals during the next meeting.

“I’m somewhat involved,” Su Nan admitted frankly.

Kei showed a look of confirmation, laughing: “I knew you’d have a way.”

“After suffering such a huge loss, the Starfire Sect’s proselytizing efforts will probably be stagnant for a long time.”

After chatting for a bit about the Starfire Sect, Su Nan quickly moved on to other topics.

“I’m planning to establish a knight academy, recruiting students from among the commoners and farmers, and training them to become knights.”

Kei was confused: “If you need knights, just draft them from the army. Why bother training them yourself?”

“A few times is fine, but I can’t keep drafting people from the army.”

“The base needs its own knights to guard it. It will be much more convenient to get things done in the future.”

Su Nan didn’t reveal the real reason. It wasn’t the right time yet.

Fortunately, Kei didn’t think much of it, instead asking in confusion: “Then why not recruit from among the noble children? They have much better aptitude and talent than commoners and farmers.”

“Wouldn’t that be competing with the territory for resources?” Su Nan waved his hand. “And you forget we have Dragon Blood Fruits. Poor aptitude is not an issue.”

Kei thought for a moment and agreed.

“Okay, I’ll take care of it. Just choose the location for the academy, and I’ll handle the rest.”

If the knight academy could train more knights, it would be a good thing for Shining Light Territory.

The stronger the base became, the more benefits Shining Light Territory would naturally receive.

Late at night.

The Mysterious Wooden Hut’s third gathering.

Su Nan slowly opened his eyes and looked around the long table.

Unexpectedly, including him, only five people were attending this gathering: Night Owl, Scepter, Heart, and Skeleton.

Rose was absent.

After the customary opening remarks, the gathering quickly transitioned into a trading mode.

Heart was the first to take out five Divine Blood Crystals, placing them on the table and staring intently at Su Nan.

“As promised, I’ve brought the Divine Blood Crystals. Now it’s your turn to fulfill your promise.”

“Of course.”

Su Nan smiled slightly and handed Heart a hundred Magic Stones.

Seeing this, the other three also took out their Divine Blood Crystals.

Su Nan glanced at them, a smile widening on his face.

As he had expected, the Mysterious Wooden Hut’s harvest this time was extremely rich.

Skeleton had three Divine Blood Crystals.

Scepter had seven Divine Blood Crystals.

What surprised Su Nan was that Night Owl had brought out a whopping eighteen Divine Blood Crystals!

“Just how many Starfire Sect branches did this guy raid?”

Su Nan was secretly shocked.

Sure enough, the person who could single-handedly establish the Mysterious Wooden Hut wasn’t simple, with vast resources and strength.

According to the agreed-upon purchase price, Su Nan paid for the Magic Stones one by one.

He ultimately obtained thirty-three Divine Blood Crystals, even more than the Divine Blood Crystals he had seized during his raid on the Starfire Sect’s stronghold in Stone Bell City.

“With so many Divine Blood Crystals, I can at least double the effect of the original Divine Blood Crystals!”

The thought of being able to improve his meditation efficiency soon filled Su Nan with joy.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

On the other side, Night Owl and the others were also extremely pleased with the large amount of Magic Stones they received.

However, besides their joy, they were secretly shocked by the player’s generosity.

In just a short while, the player had taken out over six hundred Magic Stones!

It was simply extravagant!

They wondered how many Magic Stones he actually had.

“Everyone, the Divine Blood Crystal purchase is still in effect,” Su Nan said with a smile. “If you can get your hands on more Divine Blood Crystals next time, I’ll still purchase them at twenty Magic Stones each.”

The four looked at each other and nodded slightly.

After the Divine Blood Crystal transaction was completed, everyone returned to their normal trading mode.

Unfortunately, Night Owl and the others didn’t have many items that Su Nan was interested in this time. In the end, he only traded for a few rare materials and two miniature Soul Crystals before stopping.

The meeting ended, and upon returning to the Meditation Chamber, Su Nan immediately took out the Divine Blood Crystals to synthesize them.

【Divine Blood Crystal, 2.95 ml of Divine Blood content. When exposed to air, it can attract free energy particles, forming a high-concentration energy zone. 】

From the description alone, the synthesized Divine Blood Crystal didn’t seem to have much of a change in effect. It simply removed the original side effects of slight auditory and visual hallucinations, completely eliminating the pollution.

Seeing that he couldn’t tell the difference, Su Nan simply went straight for a practical test.

The final result left him delighted.

The Divine Blood Crystal, combined with a third-rank superior Transcendent Potion, increased his meditation efficiency by about a quarter.

This was still because the Divine Blood Crystal could not be kept with him at all times, especially when making potions, crafting magical items, and refining puppets, as it would interfere with the drawing of enchantment patterns. Otherwise, with the ‘24-hour passive meditation’ effect of the Transcendent state, the efficiency could be even higher.

However, even so, the amount of proficiency Su Nan gained each day from practicing the Star Ring Meditation Method had skyrocketed to 2900 points.

“At this rate, I’ll be able to build the twelfth Star Ring by the Autumn Moon.”

Su Nan rubbed the Divine Blood Crystal in his hand, a smile on his lips.

It seemed like he would have to keep up the bounty for Divine Blood Crystals.
