Nailisi thought for a while and brought Isabella when she left the Magical Element Tower. Although Isabella’s grade was not that high, she was learning swordcraft on the side. Nailisi had many means she could use to protect a person who cultivated both magic and martial arts.
“There is still one day. Heh heh, I am not sure if that Alchemy City is only going to send over equipment to Kang Bai, or if they will send over a level 10 powerful one again.”
Some things could not be left unguarded. Saleen opened the teleportation portal, so he might as well get in touch with his teacher.
The light of the magic in the teleportation portal flashed continuously. Saleen put in painstaking effort to send people to and fro, and in the blink of an eye, Jason had brought his six closest subordinates and arrived in Saleen’s Magical Element Tower.
Saleen did not conceal anything and explained the entire sequence of events. Jason listened and gave a satisfied smile. Saleen knew how to look for opportunities. He caught Pompeii City off guard and only a level 10 mage was left behind to take command. And Saleen happened to be able to use the level 10 mage to temper his own skills.
“Saleen, don’t worry. Unless Alchemy City brings over their large magic amplifier, I will kill all of the people they send. There are still some rough edges when using your Magical Element Tower. During this one day period, you need to follow the method I give you to train the demonic spirits. When the time comes, the 3,600 demonic spirits will be sufficient to let you become an undefeated existence amongst level 10s. No matter how many enemies there are, they will stand no chance against you.”
“Then what about you, Teacher?”
“I am refining a magic amplifier. Once it has been refined successfully, I won’t have to be afraid even if I have to face Alchemy City alone. I can definitely get away safely.” Jason spoke mildly, as if such a thing was not worth mentioning.
Saleen froze for a moment. He never thought that his teacher would be able to start refining magic amplifiers so quickly. Magic amplifiers were found everywhere. For example, a magic staff could amplify magic. However, a real magic amplifier did not enhance the effectiveness of the magic, but magnified the actual magic power.
They were completely different concepts. A magic staff could only cause elemental power to be released in a more appropriate manner. A normal mage would waste more than half of their elemental power. By using a good magic staff, they could completely maximize the usage of their magical power. There would be no change in the properties of the magic, but the degree of its release would achieve perfection, thus seeming as if the power had doubled.
Magic amplifiers magnified the power of the magic itself to its limits. The degree of the magnification would depend on the properties of the magic amplifier.
The difficulty of refining a magic amplifier was a hundred times more difficult than that of refining a perfect magic staff. It was too difficult for a level 10 mage to refine a magic amplifier..
Jason saw Saleen’s expression and laughed. “Saleen, Water Flame Alchemy is not a skill from this plane. It is an ability that came from a higher grade plane. Thus, on this plane, the people who are able to grasp Water Flame Alchemy are extremely rare. This type of skill can no longer be learned based on innate talent. It requires a body whose composition is suitable for this type of skill. Only then can it be truly grasped. For people like us, many of our equipment refinements are completely different from conventional alchemy. Think about it for a moment, isn’t that so?”
Saleen thought back for a moment and discovered Jason was right. In the past when he refined the longbow Seven Nights, it did not live up to any particular standards, yet Seven Nights continued to be equivalent to a godly item. Without Water Flame Alchemy, he would never have been able to attain the achievements he had today.
At the very least, a piece of equipment as menacing as the Thunder Dragon Blaster could only be created by only two people on this plane—him and Jason.
Jason continued, “your Elemental Eye is able to observe tiny changes in energy. I have a similar skill which can adjust the most minute operations in alchemy which is even stronger than yours. For a magic amplifier, the most important thing is that the problem of the materials is hard to resolve. Once I am successful, I will pass on the experience to you.”
Saleen spoke on a whim, “Teacher, can I look at the blueprints?”
Jason smiled. “You want to help me modify it? It’s not that you can’t, but I designed the blueprints based on the materials that I have on hand, if you were to make changes…”
Saleen smiled shyly. “Of course I will help Teacher to make up for the materials.”
“Fine, this gesture of your filial piety, I will take it. Saleen, us two as master and disciple, if we possess a magic amplifier, you will no longer have to worry about situations like today’s.”
Saleen took the blueprints that Jason passed to him. “But Teacher, to refine this thing, how long will you need to spend?”
“Time is not a problem, but refining this is more troublesome than refining a godly item. It will attract the attention of all the strong parties. Especially those among the Holy Masters who have an understanding of fate. If we want to refine it, we must go to the interdimensional space.”
Saleen spread the magic blueprints on the table. A solid design model floated up and expanded, turning into an image about 300 meters tall. The magic amplifier was not small, but it was also not strange. For powerful equipment, the smaller it was refined, the more difficult would be.
Although Jason could refine a magic amplifier, he could not possibly make it the size of a ring, or even a bracelet.
The piece of equipment had all kinds of metallic colors, but its glow was dim. Saleen had never seen the magic patterns it had on top before. It was extremely mysterious. In terms of its structure, the magic amplifier looked like a devil.
The magic amplifier had three heads and six arms. There were three eyes on each head. Because it was a transparent picture, Saleen was able to see into the inner part. There was a circular space in the middle. The magic patterns in this space looked far more complex.
Jason pointed to the space . “I will place the Heart of the Sky here. Once we have found something suitable to replace it, I will return the Heart of the Sky to you.”
“Teacher?” Saleen was surprised. Although he wanted the Heart of the Sky, if this magic amplifier had the Heart of the Sky, it would be exceptionally powerful. Saleen could tell that the space was meant to hold the core that would provide energy to the magical amplifier.
“The Heart of the Sky is like a human’s heart. It can transform into all kinds of elements. However, I need something that can let all kinds of elements be broken down. If you can bear to part with the Magical Elemental Tower, it can also work. By allowing the Six Elements’ Heavy Water and elementite to flow through one another, a current surrounding the space can be formed. It will be like a never ending source of energy.”
“Elementite…” Saleen had elementite and he was not unwilling to give it to Jason. It was just that out of the elementite he possessed, the highest grade was level 16, while the Magical Element Tower was level 18 elementite.
“If we can have divine personas, that is also fine. However, it needs to be a divine persona with no properties. It would be best if it has not touched the six great elements.”
“Teacher, I can look for level 18 elementite for you. Currently in my possession, there is only level 16,” Saleen said with regret.
“There is no need to rush, this elemental envoy is my test product. Anyway, the Six Elements’ Heavy Water that you gave me is sufficient for me to use. Once I have advanced to level 13, this elemental envoy will be given to Truman. When that time comes, I can refine an even more powerful magic amplifier. The magic amplifier can be used for more than just battles. Saleen, when mages research, the most important ability is control. With the help of the elemental envoy, when I perform magic experiments, I will have almost no failures.”
Supplementary elemental abilities? Saleen felt his respect towards his teacher grow. He had to stand on the shoulders of his predecessors to continuously learn and imitate them, before he could refine many powerful pieces of equipment. However, Teacher directly transformed theory into practice with no material objects to act as evidence in between.
“Teacher, if the six arms of this elemental envoy are able to control the six great elements, is it missing a ring of balance?” Saleen pointed at the blueprints.
“No, the three heads are there to replace the ring of balance. Also, I will refine six weapon’s spirits inside. They will be grouped in twos to form an even more perfect balance. By doing so, it will not only save a large amount of Six Elements’ Heavy Water, it will also allow the ring of balance to be restored. What I want to refine is an undying weapon’s spirit, hence I will need that primitive eternal control shard of yours.”
“No problem.” Saleen had three pieces of broken jade in his possession, which were all used to control the more important guys. However, Saleen’s current technique of refining equipment was sufficient to create imitations of even more powerful eternal control shards. Although it would not be as sturdy as broken jade, it would barely be enough to control the few who were harder to keep a hold of. Saleen was willing to give the three pieces of broken jade to Teacher.
“Also, this elemental envoy can be armed with equipment, hence I plan to refine a set of elemental armor. Once this situation is over, bring me to the Imperial City of the Abyss to catch a few elemental creatures. We can refine elemental armors together.”
“Teacher, I have needed elemental weapons all this time!” Saleen looked at the structure of the solid blueprint and felt that he really did not have much that he could provide to Teacher. Jason’s design was nearly perfect.
“You are still able to help me. I don’t want to waste time refining elemental weapons. Hence, we might as well make six more elemental badges and directly refine them on the elemental envoy’s hands.”
Saleen thought for a moment. That was easy. For elemental badges, the most difficult thing was to capture elemental creature leaders with a soul. Otherwise, the elemental badge would be unable to advance, and there would be little purpose for it.
At the beginning it was very difficult for Saleen to capture elemental creature leaders. He was only at level 9, while the elemental creature leaders were at the very least level 10. He had to look for elemental creature leaders in an unstable condition or who were gravely injured. Otherwise, he was not able to capture them, but rather he himself would be done for.
Now that he possessed the Thunder Dragon Blaster, and had smoothly advanced to level 10 and stored up 24 level 11 magic spells in the Constellation outfit, he no longer felt such a great amount of stress about capturing level 10 elemental creature leaders.
“Saleen, what have you gained after looking at the blueprint?” Recently Jason would give very few pointers to Saleen. Although Saleen’s current combat ability could not be compared to his, his magic system was already beginning to deviate from his. The only thing he could give Saleen pointers on was in combat. As for matters of cultivation, Saleen would have to rely on himself.
“I have learned a lot. Once I have reached level 11, I will also try to refine my own magic amplifier.”
“Mm, Saleen, you have self-confidence. Don’t be confused by the descriptions in the magic notes. Perhaps the mages who wrote the notes did not have as deep an understanding of the elements as you do.”
