[You can now create alchemy runes and arrays with a maximum level of 10.]
[Note that the actual effects of runes and arrays created and modified by yourself need to be tested in practice. The level of this skill only represents the highest theoretical level.]
“The skill is at level 10 as soon as it’s unlocked! This is much better than learning undead runes reluctantly. The systematic alchemy teaching mode here in the Golden Federation is just perfect for me!”
Noland Lee couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
He was willing to consume a large amount of soul strength to quickly improve his ‘spirit’, with the purpose of unlocking the ‘Basic Alchemy Practical Manual.’
This is a very practical guidebook, covering all the details of drawing alchemy runes.
With its help, Noland Lee can draw standardized and effective alchemy runes.
Noland Lee opens the book in his mind, and countless written knowledge leaps onto the page, incredibly agile and vibrant.
With just one glance, Noland Lee recalls all the content in the book. This is the benefit of having the ‘Spirit’ up to standard.
He takes a small piece of stone brick and dips the rune staff in the energy liquid, then draws a simple alchemy rune on the stone brick.
There are various combinations of alchemy runes.
The more functions the rune combinations have, the more runes they contain.
The simplest rune combination is a single alchemy rune.
Right now, Noland Lee is drawing the ‘Fire Tongue Rune,’
Once the energy liquid that forms the rune dries, Noland Lee puts the stone brick in the center of the table.
He holds the rune staff and puts the tip on the rune, sending a weak soul energy into the rune.
“Puff-”
A half-meter-high flame tongue sprouts from the rune, burning steadily on the stone brick while releasing light and warmth.
“Success! From now on, I can convert soul energy into elemental energy!”
Noland Lee grins and cheers, and the system message in his mind makes him even more delighted!
[System Message: ]
[You have consumed 1 point of energy, drawing a ‘Fire Tongue Rune (Level 1).’] [You have sent 1 point of soul strength to this rune.]
[Under the effect of the rune, 1 point of soul strength is converted into 100 points of Fire Elemental Energy.]
[You have activated ‘Fire Tongue Rune (Level 1)’, successful in igniting its internal fire elemental energy. It will continue to burn until the fire elemental energy inside is exhausted.]
[The estimated burn time is 100 seconds.]
[Your ‘Alchemy Runes and Array Learning’ has gained some skill experience.] Noland Lee counts 100 seconds silently, facing the wall clock.
As time is up, the fire elemental energy inside the rune is used up, and the flame disappears.
Noland Lee clenches his fist and swings it, feeling extremely excited.
Whether in the field of alchemy or wizards, there is an undeniable truth:
Using soul energy for casting spells is extremely wasteful!
As a form of energy everyone possesses, soul energy is best not used directly as casting material, as doing so is very cost- inefficient.
The Death Clan wizards of the Death Herald Guild generate a constant supply of death energy through their magic organs within their bodies.
The higher the wizard’s ring level, the more magic organs they possess, and accordingly, the more death energy they generate every moment.
Greenshaw, a two-ring Death Clan wizard, generates about 20 points of death energy per hour, with 200 points of death energy stored in his body which allows him to freely cast ‘Death Pulse.’
Noland Lee initially thought that the energy consumption of ‘Death Finger’ was too great.
After absorbing Greenshaw’s memory, he realized it was only because he was using the wrong energy.
If he could generate 20 points of death energy per hour, casting ‘Death Finger’ would naturally be no problem.
Similarly, using elemental energy to drive alchemy runes can also enjoy discounts in casting.
Take this ‘Fire Tongue Rune’ for example.
With the help of alchemy runes, Noland Lee transformed soul energy into fire elemental energy at a 1:100 ratio and created a half-meter-high fire tongue that lasts for 100 seconds.
The fire tongue itself can serve as an offensive method and also as the energy source for alchemy tools.
Combining this rune with alchemy materials, one could easily make alchemy items like flamethrowers, fire rings, and flame fists.
An alchemy flamethrower that continuously sprays fire for 100 seconds only requires 1 point of soul strength to provide energy, boasting great power and low soul strength consumption.
Thinking of all the spells he had cast using soul energy, Noland Lee feels an intense sense of loss.’
If only he could get his hands on the magic organ used by Death Herald Gluld
wizards and continuously generate death energy, he would not have wasted so much soul strength…
“But there’s no other way, I am a wild wizard who no one teaches, no one loves… If I hadn’t come to the Golden Federation and learned so much alchemy knowledge, I wouldn’t have known about the alchemy runes that convert soul energy into elemental energy…”
Noland Lee sighs slightly, wiping away the frustration in his heart.
Regardless, from today on, he will no longer be the fool who unknowingly squanders soul energy.
He clears off the tabletop and begins to set up the ‘Blood Storage Alchemy
Array.’
The alchemical materials required for the array have already been bought ready-made, or he has prepared them in advance.
Now, he just needs to follow the operating instructions of the alchemy formula, draw alchemy runes on the alchemy materials, and then arrange them in a specific order to construct a complete array..
