Sunan was not very interested in the banquet to begin with, and now that he knew that what he had been thinking about had been found, he had no intention of staying any longer.
After talking to Keyi for a few words, he left the banquet hall in advance and returned to the courtyard where he lived.
As soon as he entered the door, Sunan saw two boxes placed in the courtyard.
He used the magician's hand to move the two boxes into the study, and then opened them for a careful inspection.
There were more than ten books in one of the boxes.
On the dark hard cover, complicated and irregular lines formed text that only wizards (apprentices) could understand.
"Touch of Fatigue", "Detect Poison", "Unlocking", "Charming Humans", "Shielding", "Analysis of Alien Life", "Reincarnation of the Dead", "Principle of Negative Energy".
Among the twelve books, except for five spell model books, the rest are various professional knowledge.
And among these five spells, Charming Humans and Shielding are both first-level spells.
"First-level spells?"
Sunan was a little jealous.
Charm Human and Shield are both very practical first-level spells.
Especially Shield, which is a life-saving spell that almost every wizard apprentice must learn.
It's a pity that if you want to learn first-level spells, your mental power must reach at least 10 points.
He is still far from that now.
"Although the wizards abandoned this world, they left behind many classics, magic items, and even inheritance."
"These things are useless to ordinary people, and they can't even understand them, but they are precious treasures for wizard apprentices."
Su Nan smiled.
As long as they are willing to spend time and have enough financial resources, any wizard apprentice can actually collect enough knowledge in this world to be promoted to a formal wizard.
Of course, resources are another problem.
Although two first-level spells cannot be learned for the time being, three zero-level spells are not a problem.
Su Nan put away the spell books and planned to learn them slowly later.
Then, he flipped through the remaining professional knowledge books one by one, but unfortunately none of them triggered the corresponding skills.
Obviously, this knowledge is not classified as a skill.
"Keep it and read it slowly when you have time. It will increase your knowledge."
Su Nan was slightly disappointed. He put away the books and then opened another box.
The box was densely packed with various small boxes of different sizes.
Su Nan opened them one by one.
As expected, the boxes were full of various well-preserved materials.
"Suxin grass, dragon eye mint, and black-spotted python bone powder are all materials for making secondary active potions!"
After counting, except for the sap of the heart-clearing tree, all the materials for making secondary active potions were complete.
And the quantity was not small, enough to make potions for forty or fifty times.
"So many materials should be enough for me to research a new version of secondary active potions."
Su Nan was a little impatient and went straight to the laboratory with the materials.
The progress bar of the Star Ring Meditation Method has passed halfway. If there is a secondary active potion to assist, it won't take long for him to build the first star ring.
Arriving at the laboratory, Su Nan lit the candlelight and then went straight to the long table filled with beakers and test tubes.
In the past three months, he has made less than 200 secondary dragon blood potions. He has already reached Lv2 in potion making, which is more than enough for conducting zero-level potion experiments.
So in the following time, in addition to meditation and spell learning, Sunan has another task of potion experiment.
He constantly synthesizes silver moon flower essences of different purity and capacity, experiments with the compatibility with other materials, and explores the best ratio as a substitute.
Starlight calendar year 1249, the month of recovery (February)
As the black-scaled lizardmen completely retreated to their old nest, the Red Horn Wilderness, the Black Stone City, which was no longer threatened, was completely relaxed.
Key put his focus back on the management of the territory.
As Black Stone City is located in the south and the climate is hot, the snow began to melt at the beginning of the month.
It is expected that sowing and ploughing can begin in the Spring Dawn Month (March).
Key ordered the militia to build irrigation canals for the territory early and introduce river water to prepare for the farming work in the Spring Dawn Month.
With the irrigation of river water, this year's harvest is expected to be good.
In addition, Key also called on the serfs in the territory to fish in the river during the slack season, which was considered to increase the income of the territory.
After a battle with the black-scaled lizardmen, the strength of the Black Stone City army has not decreased but increased.
Under the effect of the secondary dragon blood potion, the number of knights has soared from the original nine to twenty-one.
And this number is expected to continue to increase in the next two months until the accumulated black-scaled lizard blood is consumed.
As a result, the meat consumption in the territory has soared.
After all, if a knight opens his belly, he can eat thirty or forty kilograms of meat a day. It is difficult to rely on the beef and mutton of Black Stone City alone, so he can only think of ways to fish.
However, fishing can only slightly alleviate the problem of food.
Key had to spend money to purchase a large amount of meat from other cities.
In addition, his younger brother's research is also a huge expense.
Last month alone, the batch of antiques and materials cost dozens of gold coins, which is almost equivalent to the tax revenue of Black Stone City for one month.
It made Key's flesh hurt as if it was dripping with blood.
However, considering the long-term development of the territory, Sunan's research expenses must not be cut off.
As a lord, Keyi has lost a lot of hair these days in order to save money.
Sunan, who is confined to the laboratory and focusing on researching medicine, is unaware of this.
Mid-month of the recovery.
After unremitting efforts in experiments and research, Sunan finally produced the first bottle of secondary active potion.
[Secondary active potion (zero level/low quality), after taking it, it can improve mental activity, lasting for 15 days and 4 hours, and there is no effect of stacking. ]
"Finally done!"
Looking at the beautiful silver-blue liquid in the potion bottle, Sunan breathed a sigh of relief with joy.
With the synthetic magic cube, he can accurately control the refreshing effect of the silver moon flower essence, so that its effect is infinitely close to the sap of the heart tree, reaching the level of a substitute.
The whole experimental process is actually to constantly adjust the proportion of materials, and it went very smoothly.
That's why Sunan was able to produce a new version of the secondary active potion so quickly.
Without hesitation, he drank the potion immediately, and then sat down on the spot and began to meditate.
A mint-like coolness suddenly spread from the abdomen and quickly spread to the whole body.
For a moment, Sunan felt as if he was wandering at the bottom of a cold lake, with an indescribable sense of peace.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his whole body was full of energy.
This was the positive effect of a small increase in mental power in a short period of time.
Sunan immediately opened his personal panel.
[Sunan Yanest, human male, 16 years old]
[Spirit 2.82/Physique 2.94]
[Skills]
Star Ring Meditation Lv1 (750/1000)
Potion Making Lv2 (289/3000)
"Mentality increased by 0.03, and Star Ring Meditation proficiency increased by 25 points."
Sunan was overjoyed.
This efficiency is almost five times that of the previous one!
"Sure enough, the effect of the potion is much better than that of pure plant essence!"
Sunan was extremely happy.
At this efficiency, he can build the first star ring in 10 days!
