Chapter 205 Low-cost and rapid improvement methods
Half a month later.
The top floor of the Dragon Skeleton Tower, next to the elemental pool.
Su Nan glanced at the one hundred engraved gems lying in the space ring and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
So many engraved gems should be enough to deal with the thunder elemental giant.
After calming himself down, Sunan opened the space channel and stepped into it.
After a flash, he had entered the thunder element space.
What comes into view is the gloomy clouds, occupying every inch of the vision.
Thunder and lightning rushed in the clouds, accompanied by loud rumbling sounds from time to time. The thick and dazzling lightning tore through the clouds, giving people a sense of wildness.
"Is there no thunder element space on land?"
There were also clouds under his feet. Fortunately, Su Nan had released the levitation technique before coming in, so he did not fall down unexpectedly.
Without saying a word, he reopened the space channel and retreated.
In an elemental space like this, which is full of clouds and has limited vision, there are too many variables in combat and it is not the best choice.
Anyway, you can change the entry location as many times as you want, and the cost is just some gems, which Sunan can afford.
In the subsequent few attempts to enter the elemental space, either the environment was harsh or the concentration of energy particles was too high, so Su Nan gave up decisively.
It was not until the fifth time that he finally arrived at an elemental space similar to the last time.
After casting an [Elemental Energy Protection] on himself and activating the [Forbidden Zone], Sunan flew towards the depths of the elemental space.
The target is the elemental giant, which usually only appears deep in the elemental space.
Sunan did not stop along the way, and when he encountered the elemental spirits that wanted to attack him, he ignored them and quickly got rid of them with his speed.
As we go deeper, the concentration of energy particles in the air becomes richer and richer.
At this moment, Su Nan's expression suddenly changed. He looked to the front right and saw a creature more than ten meters tall, in a vague human shape, with fine arcs flashing all over its body, rushing towards him at a high speed from a thousand meters away.
"Elemental Giant!"
Su Nan was not surprised but happy.
Finally found the target.
Without hesitation, Sunan raised his hand and threw out an engraved gem.
Considering that lightning energy particles cannot harm the giant lightning element, and may even become a tonic for the giant lightning element, Sunan's latest batch of engraved gems did not contain any [Thunder Explosion], but were all [Blazing Flame], [Ice Cold], [Netherworld], [Strong Wind], etc.
As the engraved gem burst into a dazzling light, an extremely cold chill instantly erupted and fell on the head of the giant thunder elemental.
In an instant, the surface of the giant lightning elemental was covered with a layer of snow-white frost, so that the fine arcs of electricity flashing on its body were eliminated a lot.
While the giant thunder element was slowing down, Sunan threw out two gems engraved with [Blazing Flame] and [Strong Wind], which turned into flames and strong winds that submerged the giant thunder element. At the same time, liquid metal gushed out and it turned into a majestic silver giant in an instant, rushing towards the opponent with unparalleled power.
First he was caught off guard by the engraved gem, and before he could catch his breath he was hit on the head by a punch from the silver giant.
The virtual form of the Thunder Elemental Giant is immune to all physical attacks, but it is not immune to liquid metal containing elemental energy. It was directly knocked off balance by the oncoming giant fist.
The thunder elemental giant was already extremely violent, and suffered a great loss when caught off guard. He immediately flew into a rage, roaring and punching the silver giant.
Both the Thunder Elemental Giant and Sunan are wizard-level beings, but their fighting styles are extremely primitive and barbaric.
The two of them confronted each other with strength and strength, and although they were both unarmed, the momentum was like two iron-clad bronze men weighing more than a thousand pounds colliding with each other, making a deafening roar.
The energy glow and violent air waves visible to the naked eye rolled out in all directions with the two as the center, causing the void to distort.
The ground beneath his feet continued to crack and disintegrate, and in the blink of an eye, a huge pit appeared.
After a brief confrontation, Sunan already had a rough idea in his mind.
Perhaps it was because he had not yet truly penetrated the core area of the elemental space, the strength of the thunder elemental giant in front of him was not outstanding among his peers. At most, it was equivalent to the level of a first-level gasification wizard who had just been promoted.
However, with the support of the home team, his combat effectiveness has been enhanced to a level close to that of a first-level liquefied wizard.
Fortunately, this is not beyond his ability to cope with.
After finding out the strength of his opponent, Sunan no longer held back. While controlling the silver giant to attack fiercely, he threw out engraved gems without hesitation.
As the concentration of spirit increases, the number of synthesized engraved gems has increased to twenty-two, and the power is about four times that of ordinary rune engravings.
Even a formal wizard would not dare to underestimate this power.
As more than ten engraved gems were thrown out in succession, the giant thunder elemental was immediately blinded.
Swift flames, strong winds, and shadows rolled over one after another. In just four or five breaths, the dazzling lightning on the giant lightning elemental's body dimmed visibly, and its sturdy body shrunk by nearly half.
Sunan took the opportunity to press forward, his attack becoming more and more fierce.
More than ten minutes later, accompanied by an unwilling roar, the body of the Thunder Elemental Giant shattered, turning into countless points of light and dissipating in the air, leaving only an irregular blue crystal the size of an egg falling to the ground.
Su Nan passed out from the silver giant's body and quickly caught the crystal.
Looking at the beautiful blue crystal like a gem in his palm, a happy smile appeared on his face.
Elemental crystal nucleus.
A crystal that condenses rich elemental energy, which is considered a higher-level material than elemental crystal dust.
Only elemental creatures at the elemental giant level or above have elemental crystal cores in their bodies.
However, this was not the reason why Sunan was happy. What made him even happier was the divine energy contained in the elemental crystal core.
After putting the elemental crystal core into the Rubik's Cube, Sunan quickly obtained detailed information.
"Six standard units of divine energy. That's a little too little."
Spider elves have 8 standard units of divine energy in their bodies, while elemental giants have even less.
But after thinking about it, Su Nan felt relieved.
Spider elves are creatures created entirely from divine energy, while elemental giants are an aggregation of elemental energy and divine energy, with elemental energy accounting for the majority, so it is normal for there to be less divine energy in their bodies.
"It should be enough to increase the mental concentration by about 0.4%."
Before, this amount of divine energy could at least increase the mental concentration by 0.5% to 0.6%, but as the mental concentration increased, the difficulty of improvement also increased.
Sunan estimated that by the time it reaches the first level of liquefaction, the divine energy required to increase the mental concentration by 1% might soar to fifty or sixty standard units.
But at least at this stage, the benefits that an elemental crystal core brings to him are still very obvious.
After the battle, a total of eighteen engraved gems were used.
Sunan estimated that the current cost of engraving a gemstone is about 5,800 gold coins, and 18 of them would cost a little over 100,000 gold coins.
One hundred thousand gold coins in exchange for about 0.4% of spiritual concentration, this deal is generally a good deal.
The elemental space was filled with energy, and Sunan quickly restored his mental strength to its peak state and continued hunting.
With no intention of going deeper into the core area, he simply circled around the edge of the core area, searching for traces of the thunder elemental giant.
It didn't take long for Sunan to find the target.
This time, without waiting for the thunder elemental giant to launch an attack, he took the initiative to rush forward.
The fight broke out again.
Two days later.
When Sunan returned to the Dragon Skeleton Tower, there were three more elemental crystal cores in his space ring.
The price was the loss of more than fifty engraved gems.
Next to the element pool, Sunan sat cross-legged on the spot and began to absorb the divine energy in the element crystal core.
Naturally generated divine creatures like the elemental giants have divine energy that is naturally very pure. There is no contamination from faith and it can be directly absorbed and synthesized.
By the time the three elemental crystal cores were all turned into powder, Sunan's spiritual concentration had increased to 76.06%.
Looking at the data on the panel, Su Nan was extremely happy.
At this rate, he would soon be able to break through to the first liquefaction stage.
The only problem is that this method of upgrade consumes a lot of engraving gems.
To break through to the first level of liquefaction, you need to invest at least six million gold coins in engraving gems.
Although the Star Alliance's annual income has exceeded tens of millions of gold coins, money is actually needed in many areas.
Refining secret dolls, making crystal soul potions, manufacturing magical weapons, and the most difficult part is building a wizard tower.
Withdrawing six million gold coins at once would place a considerable burden on the Star Alliance's cash flow.
"It would be great if there were other, cheaper ways to hunt the Thunder Elemental Giants."
Su Nan pondered secretly.
But he also knew that he was a little greedy.
Which first-level gasification wizard can hunt thunder element giants in the thunder element space like him?
Without any trump cards or means, an ordinary first-level gasification wizard would be blasted into charcoal and reduced to ashes when facing the thunder element giant in the thunder element space.
Unless they are descendants of true spirits, there are higher-level wizards who collect elemental crystal cores specifically for them to practice.
Shaking his head, Su Nan dispelled his unrealistic thoughts and his eyes fell on the powder made from the elemental crystal core on the ground.
Although the divine energy was completely absorbed, the elemental energy in the powder still remained, which was equivalent to turning back into elemental crystal dust.
etc!
A thought suddenly flashed through Su Nan's mind like lightning.
The elemental giant is advanced from the elemental spirit. During this process, the substances that form the elemental crystal dust in the elemental spirit's body will gradually condense together to form an elemental crystal core.
It can be said that the process of an elemental spirit evolving into an elemental giant is actually equivalent to the process of elemental crystal dust transforming into an elemental crystal core.
Does that mean that elemental crystal dust can be used to synthesize elemental crystal cores that possess divine energy?
Sunan was immediately cheered up.
This possibility is still not low.
Just like the blood of the Death Knell Ringer, its blood contains a special factor inherited from the divine creature, the Hissing Insect. As long as this factor is activated, divine energy can be born.
The same goes for elemental spirits.
There is most likely some special factor in its body. As long as the elemental energy concentration reaches a certain limit and the quantitative change causes a qualitative change, this factor can be activated, and it will transform into an elemental giant and give birth to divine energy at the same time.
If it is really as he guessed, then in the future, elemental crystal dust can be used to synthesize elemental crystal cores! Hunting elemental spirits is much easier than hunting elemental giants! Coming back to his senses, Sunan immediately prepared to try.
The elemental crystal dust he obtained in the thunder element space some time ago was still safely placed in the space ring. He immediately took it out and put it into the Rubik's Cube.
[Elemental crystal dust, purity 28.35%, contains rich thunder element energy, can be used to make potions, magic items and puppets, and can also be used to set up magic arrays. ]
Su Nan kept moving, continuously putting elemental crystal dust into the Rubik's Cube, while his eyes were fixed on the synthesis interface.
The purity of elemental crystal dust increases rapidly.
When the 100% limit was broken, the information on the synthesis interface finally changed.
[Elemental crystal core, a crystal containing a huge amount of thunder element energy, and also contains a trace of pure divine energy (0.1 standard unit), which can be used to make potions, magic items and puppets, and can also be used to arrange magic arrays. Divine energy can be directly absorbed to increase mental strength. ]
"It's done!"
Su Nan looked overjoyed.
Sure enough, elemental crystal dust can be used to synthesize elemental crystal cores! Although it was only a pitiful 0.1 standard unit of divine energy, it was successful after all.
It doesn’t matter if the quantity is small, as long as it is not zero.
Even if it's just a tiny bit, he can use the Rubik's Cube to synthesize and grow it.
Taking a deep breath, Su Nan calmed his inner ecstasy and threw the remaining elemental crystal dust into the Rubik's Cube. Finally, he synthesized an elemental crystal core containing 2 standard units of divine energy.
He then absorbed the divine energy in the light crystal core, and his mental concentration increased by 0.13% as expected.
The increase was not large, but it made Sunan very excited.
In this way, he would no longer have to take huge risks and pay huge costs to hunt elemental giants, he only needed to hunt elemental spirits.
Originally, he just wanted to develop another channel to obtain divine energy, but he unexpectedly found a low-cost method to quickly improve spiritual concentration. Su Nan was so happy at the moment.
His eyes fell on the powder that the elemental crystal core had just turned into, and Su Nan suddenly had an idea.
I wonder if these elemental crystal dusts can be reused?
If I could Sunan's eyes lit up and he immediately put all the powder into the Rubik's Cube.
But disappointingly, the elemental crystal core synthesized this time did not contain divine energy.
"Is it because the special factor was absorbed along with the divine energy?"
Although disappointed, Sunan quickly understood after a little thought.
Without the special factors, these elemental crystal dusts naturally can no longer stimulate divine energy and can only be used as ordinary materials.
Shaking his head, Sunan quickly calmed down.
Although it's a bit of a pity, it's already great to be able to find a way to synthesize elemental crystal nuclei.
With this method, he would be able to break through to the first liquefaction stage in two or three years at most.
This is much shorter than originally estimated.
"According to this trend, perhaps I will have a chance to be promoted to a second-level wizard before the plane barrier is restored."
A smile appeared on Sunan's lips.
Even in the vast multiverse, a second-level wizard can be considered a strong man.
You can advance to fight against the [Dark Throne], or retreat to join other wizard forces.
No wizarding force would refuse the joining of a second-level wizard with a clean background.
Promote to level 2 wizard and build a wizard tower.
Sunan set goals for himself for the next seven hundred years.
