Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Information Encryption

The alchemical creations sold by the Broken Cauldron Alchemy Shop mostly come from the Alchemy Association. Each alchemical creation produced by the Alchemy Association is registered, and each alchemical creation can trace back to its creator.

This is not only to make a personal name but also to trace the source, preventing alchemists from cutting corners and producing inferior alchemical creations.

This information is left within the alchemical creations in the form of spiritual power.

When Duke used them, he read this information with his spiritual power. The guardian of the Round Table Knight was made by a Wizard named Theo Perkins.

Five minutes later, the effect of the Round Table Knight’s guardian also ended.

Duke was overall very satisfied with this demonized item. After receiving the summary report from White and others, he carefully reviewed it and gained a better understanding of this demonized item.

After leaving the Alchemy Shop, there were only about seven hundred magic stones left in Duke’s Space Ring.

However, he didn’t really mind, as he could slowly earn it back through magic potions. The most important thing was to promptly convert resources into his own combat strength.

…

In the dormitory, after completing today’s Earth Breathing Technique practice, Duke checked the attributes on the Skill Tree.

[Physique: 15]

[Strength: 15.8]

[Agility: 15]

[Spirit: 23.2]

[Free attribute points: 2]

The two free attribute points were obtained after maxing out the levels of two types of magic potions, and his spiritual power also increased a bit.

In addition to the increase in spiritual power gained through maxing out magic potion levels, with the help of the Starlight Meditation Potion, the effect of meditation practice also made significant progress, increasing spiritual power.

The spiritual power threshold for a First-class Wizard Apprentice is thirty points, and Duke still lacks 6.8.

Normally, reaching this through meditation practice would certainly take a lot of time, but Duke plans to add it through free attribute points.

Ever since he saw a broader world, he started thinking more, and his perspective changed.

As his strength increases, the skills he can access also become more advanced, and the attributes and rewards he gains when maxing these skills will be greater.

Previously, he thought it was necessary to enhance to the limit through meditation before using free attribute points, but now he finds that idea a bit naive.

Duke thought for a moment and directly added the two free attribute points to Spirit.

[Spirit: 23.2->25.2]

Spiritual power can directly enhance the intensity of spells and increase the upper limit of internal magic power.

The fastest way for Duke to gain free attribute points now is still through Magic Potion Skills, but not all magic potion skills are suitable.

[Basic Magic Recovery Potion: LV5]

[Starlight Meditation Potion: LV5 (Trait: Meditation Enhancement)]

[White Orchid Antidote Potion: LV2 (23/40)]

[Mud Corrosion Potion: LV2 (15/40)]

[Mountain Magic Potion: LV3 (24/50)]

Duke looked at the proficiency of these two magic potions and planned to max out the proficiency of White Orchid Antidote Potion and Mountain Magic Potion first, and put the progress of the Mud Corrosion Potion on hold for the time being.

He plans to first max out the levels of the more popular magic potions on the market, and then consider those less popular ones.

Maxing out the proficiency of unpopular potions is very likely to be a loss. Since they can’t be sold, they would just be stockpiled with himself, which is equivalent to using magic stones to buy proficiency.

Duke currently doesn’t have the capital to support doing this, so he must carefully select suitable magic potions first.

The current Mountain Magic Potion is a complete expenditure, without a way to make money from it.

Because this magic potion is only for his own use, almost no Wizard would buy the Mountain Magic Potion.

The investment in this area is still considerable. Duke’s largest expense during this time is on the Mountain Magic Potion.

However, to max out the level of the Earth Breathing Technique, these investments are worthwhile.

…

Duke placed twenty Starlight Meditation Potions in a wooden box, which is specifically used for preserving this type of magic potion.

He took this wooden box to the mailing center and sent it out, with the destination, of course, being the Thorn Holy Tower, Vivian.

After maxing the Starlight Meditation Potion, Duke started sending some of this self-refined magic potion to Vivian.

Because he has the trait of Meditation Enhancement, the effect of every Starlight Meditation Potion he makes is very strong.

Although he can’t teach others to refine potions with traits, he can allow others to use them.

Duke first thought of Vivian, as she has helped him so much in the past; it’s time to give something in return.

Although Vivian doesn’t lack resources over there, it’s also hard to find a better version of this meditation potion.

Initially, Vivian refused, knowing Duke must be having a hard time, and didn’t want Duke to spend too much money on this.

But after receiving it, she found out how effective Duke’s Starlight Meditation Potions were and didn’t refuse Duke’s subsequent offerings.

In return, Vivian even asked Duke what kind of information he needed, hinting she could “borrow” some from her teacher.

In fact, this information is definitely not meant to be shown to outsiders, but Grace likes Vivian as a student and just turns a blind eye.

After all, Grace doesn’t need to think long to know who Vivian is giving this to, as she has met Duke and knows about the relationship between the two, so she doesn’t bother with it.

Duke had already returned the Basic Theory of Water Element books and other materials he had borrowed earlier. Although he hadn’t copied down all the content, he had mastered most of it before sending them back.

“Maybe in a while. I’ve been busy refining potions recently. I’ll see what I need in a few days.” Duke thought and replied.

Actually, he wants to wait until he maxes out the level of the Breathing Technique to see if new talents emerge before deciding on which area of knowledge to pursue.

Vivian is also very busy lately, as she is about to advance to a Second-class Wizard Apprentice.

Her spiritual power has already reached seventeen points, which is quite good among Third-class Wizard Apprentices, although there is still a significant gap compared to Duke’s twenty points at the time.

After sending out the Starlight Meditation Potion, Duke ended his chat with Vivian when suddenly a message came from the Skill Tree.

[Wizard’s Mark level increased, Spirit +0.3, Free attribute points +1]

[Wizard’s Mark: LV5 (Trait: Information Encryption)]

[Information Encryption: Information sent and received through the Wizard’s Mark will not be intercepted]

Duke was a bit stunned upon seeing this information, as he hadn’t been paying much attention to the proficiency of the Wizard’s Mark skill.

On regular days, he didn’t grind it deliberately, as both he and Vivian were busy and didn’t have much time for idle chat.

Unexpectedly, the proficiency of the Wizard’s Mark increased to max without noticing it, apart from gaining spiritual power and free attribute points, it also came with a trait.
