Chapter 8: The Beginning of the Magic String

Seventy-two materials, most of which are very cheap, and none of them are difficult to buy. The most difficult thing is the grasp of time and heat, Saleen's mental power is very stable, but he still failed seven times, these failures made him grope a lot of experience, and there are still two potion materials left in his hand, he doesn't want to continue to fail.

Six hours passed, and the doors of Jason's lab were still closed, and his experiments often lasted three to five days, and after the food was ready, Salin had nothing else to do.

The last trace of soreness left his body, and Saleen sat up, feeling that the growth of his mental power this time was very obvious, and he could even feel the details of the air flow in the room. A grass bug slammed into the window, not even making a sound, and Saleen looked back and clearly saw the grass bug staggering and flying away.

Saleen leapt to his feet, quickly made his way to the table, lit the flame, and began to pour materials into the cauldron. His current spiritual power is strong and pure, and he can quickly perceive the slightest changes in the potion. He used his limited magic power to control the stability of the flames, staring intently at the changes in the materials inside the crucible.

Ten hours passed, and Saleen didn't even feel hungry, and the last stabilizer was thrown into the cauldron, which had all melted into a liquid and glowed with a rainbow of colors.

Saleen quickly added a magic flask to the cauldron, fueling the flames.

Strong magic fluctuations emanated, and Salin's heart beat violently, which scared him a lot. His room wasn't furnished with any high-level magic arrays, and Jason could spot anomalies in his room in three seconds at most.

Saleen and Viscount Guge were all doing things behind Jason's back, and once Jason found out about the potion that Salin was refining, he would definitely know about the money he received from Guge.

Almost subconsciously, Salin grabbed his badge and pressed it into the liquid inside the cauldron, releasing a level 0 magic. The mysterious emblem extracts Sarin's mana, and at the same time absorbs the magic fluctuations that have just erupted. Saleen fell to the ground, scared.

As an apprentice in magic, he took too much money from Viscount Guge, and it was not clear what to say.

It wasn't until night fell that Saleen got up from the floor, and looked at the empty cauldron, and Saleen wanted to cry without tears. This time, there was not even any medicine residue left, and it was obviously going to succeed! Because he was frightened by the powerful magic power fluctuations, he destroyed the magic string potion with his own hands, that damn badge.

Salin picked up the badge, but his eyes were captivated.

The dark green magic pattern on the black iron badge was verdant at the moment, and there was a puddle of azure liquid in the crack in the center. No magic fluctuations could be detected in the blue translucent liquid, and Salin did not dare to directly detect the magic, otherwise he would have to lie down for another six hours.

What is this?

The normal magic string potion should be a colorful color, and Salin looked at the blue liquid and said that he didn't dare to drink it immediately. He took out a cyan jade bottle and filled it with the blue liquid. The small jade vase, shorter than his fingers, cost Salin two hundred gold coins, which were originally intended to be used to put the magic string potion.

Salin didn't know what he had refined, and he was afraid that this strange potion would evaporate, so he had to store it first. He cleaned up the table, ate his supper without knowing the taste, and lay on the bed thinking hard.

There is still half a month to go, and it is the Midyear Festival. There were still four thousand gold coins left in hand, and the refining materials for the two pairs of magic string potions. I can barely make up six pairs of materials, but looking at the examples of failures in the past, these six pairs of potion materials may not be successful.

Gritting his teeth, Saleen decided to wait until tomorrow. If the remaining two pairs of materials are not successful, the four thousand gold coins must be saved. After advancing to become a first-level magician, it costs a lot of money. If all the gold is wasted on magic string potion, then the future study will still be extremely difficult.

Salin can't reach out to Viscount Guge to ask for money, which is different from Viscount Guge hiring him, and taking the initiative to ask for money is equivalent to selling himself to the Viscount.

Over the next two days, Saleen drained the last two potions, leaving him with a pile of slag. It felt as if the success of the refining that day could no longer be found, and the flawless procedure did not guarantee the success of the potion.

In desperation, Salin had no choice but to come up with the idea of the bottle of blue potion.

There are still ten days to go before the Midyear Festival, and when Salen waited for Jason to conduct the experiment again, he hid in the room and secretly drank the blue potion.

The cool, refreshing sensation slides down the throat and into the stomach. Saleen strictly followed the requirements of the magic book, drank only milk throughout the day, did not eat any solid food, and took medicine to empty the debris in his body.

The hungry body immediately absorbed the potion that had entered the stomach, and Salin felt the potion penetrate almost directly through the stomach wall, seep into the blood vessels, and travel all over the body.

This effect is different from what the book says! Salin was a little nervous, but it was too late to regret it.

Now Salin is in a strange state, he obviously feels refreshed, but he is constantly sweating. The smell of sweat is extremely disgusting and has a deep black color. In ten minutes, Salin already felt an extreme lack of water in his body. He scooped up more than half a pound of water in the wooden bucket with a scoop and poured it directly into his stomach, but the feeling of dehydration became more and more serious.

Salin knew that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to hesitate, if he didn't act, I was afraid that in less than half an hour, he would become a dry corpse. He quickly put on his wobbly robe and rushed out of the ancestral house.

The ancestral house was built in front of the mountain, and Salin ran desperately towards the back of the mountain, where there was a stream.

Usually it takes half an hour to walk, but Saleen arrived in 5 minutes. He plunged headlong into the stream, found a place relatively deep, threw away his robe, took off his clothes, and soaked his whole body in the stream.

The stream poured into Saleen's stomach and down his nose into his lungs. Saleen didn't feel suffocating, he was now breathing in the pores of his whole body. Inhale clean stream water and drain dirty bodily fluids.

The process was not painful, but it was physically demanding, and Salin felt extremely hungry, but he had no food and did not dare to leave the stream. Even though the whole person was soaked in water, Salin still felt that his body was not hydrated. It's not even a feeling of thirst, but a direct sign of dehydration.

The magic string potion flowed through Salin's veins, absorbing the water in Sarin's body and forcibly expelling impurities from Sarin's body.

The process lasted six days, and Saleen almost thought he was going to starve to death in the middle of nowhere. At this time, the magic potion in the body finally had a new change.

Salin felt the water element in the space, and his spiritual power immediately became active.

Closing his eyes, Saleen felt his body become transparent, and his senses could observe all the activities within his body. There was not much left of the blue translucent potion, as thin as a gossamer, about the length of a finger. After a last week of circulating in the veins of the body, the potion entered the brain and exploded without warning.

Salin was startled, thinking he was dead, and then realized that the explosion was just an illusion.

A space suddenly appeared in the brain domain, and a translucent blue filament floated in this space, and kept absorbing the water element between heaven and earth.

Originally, the water element perceived by spiritual power was intangible, but now Salin seemed to be watching from the sidelines, the invisible element was concretized, and countless transparent blue elemental bodies were closely arranged in the space, as if it was a huge blue crystal, and it was so huge that there was no sign of a boundary.

Salin carefully observed the basic structure of the water element, this was the only time he could perceive the elements in this way before he became a fourth-level mage.

The filaments in the brain space are constantly absorbing the water element, but it does not grow larger, it is still a finger long, thinner than a hair. This is the magic string mentioned in the book, with this most basic magic string, it will eventually form a complete magic string in the form of a network.

These web-like magic strings will have six castes, representing the six major magics. The more and longer strings a mage has, the more magic he can cast.

The magic strings consumed each time you cast a spell will also be automatically restored, and magic apprentices can also use meditation to restore their magic power. But the magic apprentice has too little mana stored to compare to the magic strings.

1 Level 1 Magician can cast 1 Level 2 magic, 10 to 12 Level 1 magic, and nearly 100 Level 0 magic by relying on the magic string. And the highest-level magic apprentice can only cast 1 level 1 magic and about 10 level 0 magic.

This is the power of the magic strings, the cornerstone of the entire wizarding world.

Moreover, after meditating, the magic strings consumed by the magician will recover quickly. A powerful mage only needs an hour or two of meditation to regain combat effectiveness, and even for an ordinary mage, 6 hours is enough to restore all the lost magic strings.

The magic strings in the brain domain finally began to grow slowly, until they grew to about a foot, and became the thickness of a thumb, and then they stopped and began to grow branches. Salin didn't know how much time had passed, the perception of his body had disappeared, and all his sensory abilities were concentrated in the spirit world, observing the growth of the magic strings.

The space formed in the brain domain is large, as if it were a water droplet, and the height is more than 3 meters. The one-foot-long magic string grows very small branches. Like the veins of a leaf, they are distributed in the brain space.

Salin carefully recalled the description of the magic string in the book, the magic string that was more than a foot long was the characteristic of a first-class magician. He crossed the stage of a high-level magic apprentice and directly became a first-level magician. It's a little exciting.

But there are two other problems that are different from those described in the book.

The first problem is that the book says that the magician's magic string space is about one cubic meter, and Salin's magic string space is at least 6 times more than what is recorded in the book.

This is nothing, the magic string space is large, which means that the number of low-level magic that can be used has increased. But the second problem is serious.

There are twenty-four main branches of the Magic Strings space, and they are divided into six colors. Yellow represents earthly magic, blue represents water magic, transparent represents wind magic, red represents fire magic, black represents dark magic, and white represents light magic.

These six colors of magic strings represent the type of magic they can use, and all of Salin's magic strings are translucent blue, without exception. This meant that he would only be able to perform water magic in the future. Until the magic string was fully formed, he did not perceive any other element.

Salin has lost the ability to cast some level 0 magic, and he is no longer even able to cast an invisible shield except for the unpopular magic of the sixth series.

Salin thought of the words in the book: What you give, you will get more than you get.

Is this the price? Saleen climbed ashore and felt like all his strength had been drained. He lay on his stomach by the stream, desperately drinking water. Having starved, Saleen knew that by filling himself with water, his body would be able to overdraw his strength in a short period of time and allow him to rush home.
