Chapter 231: Learning Advanced Spells
Chapter 231: Learning Advanced Spells
The second way to obtain advanced spells is by studying from books.
This method has a high threshold.
For example, Su Yu only gained access to advanced spellbooks after obtaining the Silver Pine Spire Grand Library Access Rune.
The advanced spellbooks in the library are the foundation of the Silver Pine Spire, and they are not easily accessible.
Moreover, studying from books has a significant drawback: it's highly unpredictable.
Mastering advanced spells through reading is a bit like fishing.
Sometimes, your luck is incredible, and fish keep biting one after another. Other times, you come back home with an empty bucket, not even a single fish.
Similarly, when reading, sometimes inspiration strikes, and you master several spells in a row, feeling like you are a chosen one. Other times, your brain freezes, and you waste a productive day's waste blank, a day of wasted, what's a, how you,.
.
.
, and you end up wasting an entire day with a blank mind, not even remembering what you read.
However, Su Yu is, after all, a wealthy man, and the rich have their own ways of solving problems.
That night, in a quiet room of the Silver Pine Spire Grand Library, Su Yu was studying an advanced ice magic book.
The book was titled A World of Ice and Fire: Ultimate Bliss.
The principles described in the book were as follows:
When a mage casts an advanced ice spell, the process of creating a large volume of ice releases a tremendous amount of heat, causing the temperature around the mage to rise sharply.
This sharp increase in temperature creates favorable conditions for casting fire spells, making the efficiency of casting fire spells exponentially higher.
The mage can cast a fire spell to lower the surrounding temperature, and then cast an advanced ice spell again.
By repeating this cycle, the mage can maximize the efficiency of spellcasting.
Just as Su Yu was engrossed in the book, he received a private message from Neon Wastewater.
Neon Wastewater: "Boss, I've bought all the potions you requested! They're already at the entrance of the Silver Pine Spire."
Su Yu: "Oh, good. I'll have a servant come to meet you."
Soon, an NPC servant from the Silver Pine Spire led a visibly excited Neon Wastewater to Su Yu's quiet room.
Seeing Neon Wastewater's flushed, excited face, Su Yu was a bit puzzled: "Neon Wastewater, what's up with you? You didn't really go to Neon and drink radioactive wastewater to mutate, did you?"
"Of course not, Boss. Just take a look at the goods first!"
Neon Wastewater carefully took a ruby box from his backpack and placed it on the table in front of Su Yu.
Opening the box, a row of potions was neatly arranged inside.
Grandmaster's Wisdom Elixir, Grandmaster's Meditation Potion, Memory Enhancement Elixir, Cognitive Amplification Elixir—a total of eight types of potions, with 20 bottles of each.
These potions were purchased by Su Yu to aid in his reading.
With these potions, his study efficiency would increase by at least 3 to 5 times!
After confirming that the potions were correct, Su Yu put the box into his backpack.
"Boss," Neon Wastewater said excitedly, "guess how much we spent on these potions?"
"These potions' market price is around 800,000 Spirit Coins, right? Did you get a good deal?" Su Yu smiled.
It seemed Neon Wastewater and his team had indeed gotten a good deal, which explained their excitement.
"Indeed, we got them for much cheaper than the market price!" Neon Wastewater was ecstatic. "Instead of going directly to the potion shop you mentioned, we used a special method to find Master Derrick himself."
"Master Derrick had a gambling debt, so we managed to buy these potions for just 350,000 Spirit Coins!"
"350,000 Spirit Coins?"
Su Yu's eyes lit up.
350,000 Psychic Coins is almost at cost price; Nuclear Wastewater and his team have really hit the jackpot!
"And it's not just that." Nuclear Wastewater pulled out a crumpled list of potions from his backpack. "Master Drayke said the potions on this list will also be sold at half price. Do you need any of them?"
Su Yu took the list and scanned through it from top to bottom.
Endless Depth Potion, Eternal Fury Potion, Flame of Greed Enhancer...
Most of the potions were fairly common, but there were several rare and powerful potions mixed in. And their prices were far below market value.
"I'll take them all!" Su Yu slammed the list down on the table.
"Nuclear Wastewater, you and your team have done an excellent job! Here's what I'll do: I'll take 30% of the difference between the acquisition price and the market price and give it to your team as a reward!"
"Thirty percent?!" Nuclear Wastewater's eyes widened.
This time, the difference in price for the potions they brought back was 450,000 Psychic Coins. If his calculations were correct, the next batch would have a difference of around 600,000 Psychic Coins.
With that, their team would receive 315,000 Psychic Coins as a reward, averaging 60,000 per person?!
That was an astonishing reward! At this stage, 40th-level players could only earn a few hundred Psychic Coins a day.
"Mr. Ke, I—"
"Don't thank me, you deserve it," Su Yu smiled. "Consider this my investment in you. Work on improving your strength, and I hope to see you on the front lines against the Skrulls in the future."
"Yes, Mr. Ke!" Nuclear Wastewater's face turned serious as he loudly assured.
After Nuclear Wastewater left, Su Yu officially began his potion-drinking session to enhance his understanding of spells.
Master's Wisdom Compound, Master's Meditation Potion, Memory Enhancement Spirit Potion...
As he drank one potion after another, his mind was flooded with explosive inspiration, and his thoughts became incredibly active, as if powered by an engine.
He immersed himself in the books.
Since most of the Lighthouse Frost Chill Set he wore was focused on ice enhancements, the majority of the advanced spellbooks he browsed were ice spells.
With the help of the potions:
System: Congratulations, you have successfully learned the Tier 4 single-target spell [Chain Ice Arrows (Common)].
System: Congratulations, you have successfully learned the Tier 4 area-of-effect spell [Blizzard (Rare)].
System: Congratulations, you have successfully learned the Tier 4 area-of-effect spell [Ice Dragon Roar (Epic)].
System: Congratulations, you have successfully learned the Tier 4 defensive spell [Glacial Barrier].
The game notifications kept ringing in Su Yu's ears as one ice spell after another was added to his skill list.
After that, Su Yu hardly left the Silver Pine Spire, spending all his time in the Grand Library, studying and learning spells.
Time flew by.
Before he knew it, it was August 29th, the 7th day since Su Yu broke through to the Saint Realm.
By now, he had consumed all 160 of the potions that enhanced his learning ability. Nuclear Wastewater had to run errands to buy another 80 bottles to keep up with his needs.
However, the results of his seven days of study were extraordinary.
He had mastered all ice spells up to and including the 6th tier, including two forbidden spells: Absolute Zero and Fathomless Cold.
He had also learned most of the 4th and 5th-tier fire spells, though he hadn't had time to study the 6th-tier spells or the forbidden spells yet.
With these skills and his powerful leader template, his main body's strength had surpassed many NPC strongmen of the same level!
