Base.

In a room that had been transformed into a worm nest, various ores were scattered on the floor.

This was a newly opened worm nest, and it was where the Gem Worms were kept.

Under the gentle glow of the magic stone lamp, three egg-sized worms were lying on the ores, slowly eating. The pure gems that were almost completely formed on their dorsal shells were particularly eye-catching.

After more than two months of feeding, the three Gem Worms, once on the verge of death, had fully recovered and become exceptionally healthy.

Now, all they had to do was eat ores every day and then condense various pure gems.

Depending on the type of ore they ate, the type of gems they produced would also be different.

Thanks to the notes left by Awegny, Su Nan had avoided many detours in this regard.

It’s worth mentioning that a Gem Worm could produce an average of three standard units of pure gems per month.

Three Gem Worms would be nine per month.

Honestly, this yield was pitifully low.

Fortunately, Gem Worms could self-divide and reproduce.

However, they needed to eat a special food.

According to the notes, the main ingredients of this special food included Abyssal Black Copper, Rainbow Iron, Sun Flame Golden Sand, Mithril, and high-grade gems.

“None of these are easy to find,”

Su Nan sighed softly.

But thinking about the benefits of increasing the number of Gem Worms, he perked up again.

He didn’t need many, as long as he had thirty Gem Worms, the monthly gem output could be increased to ninety, and that’s over a thousand per year. That would be enough for him to refine more than twenty elite stone golems or thousands of ordinary stone golems each year.

If he had two or three hundred Gem Worms, he would basically never have to worry about low-grade gems again.

“I’ll collect them slowly.”

Su Nan withdrew his gaze from the Gem Worms and walked out of the worm nest.

Besides Gem Worms, he had also brought back several Blood Soul Worms from Awegny’s cave.

However, considering that cultivating these things required a large amount of souls, he was reluctant to waste precious Soul Crystals on them. In the end, he decided to give up.

After all, the only use of Blood Soul Worms for him was to extract their bloodlines to make Bloodline Marks.

However, while there weren’t many creatures on Starlight Continent that possessed the bloodlines of ancient beasts, there were still quite a few. There were plenty of materials for making Bloodline Marks, so there was no need to limit himself to Blood Soul Worms.

Originally, Su Nan had also planned to extract the bloodline of the Blood Soul Worms for synthesis, but unfortunately, he still couldn’t solve the problem of soul pollution.

He guessed that the soul pollution was not caused by the Blood Soul Worm’s bloodline ability. The Blood Soul Worm’s bloodline ability was to convert soul energy into lifespan, and the soul pollution was a side effect caused by the act of absorbing souls itself.

Unless he had the ability to purify souls, absorbing souls would always inevitably lead to pollution.

In the end, Su Nan personally dissected several Blood Soul Worms. After collecting the data, he disposed of the worm carcasses.

Leaving the worm nest, Su Nan headed straight for the workshop.

“Teacher!”

“Hello, teacher!”

Along the way, he met several groups of apprentices. Upon seeing Su Nan, these young men and women in grey robes immediately stopped and respectfully bowed to him.

After the implementation of the qualification testing policy in Shining Light Territory, the base would gain a new student roughly every few months.

The total number of students at the base now was thirty-six.

Combined with the various alien creatures that Su Nan had summoned from another world, the base had become quite lively, finally no longer as deserted as before.

Su Nan didn’t pay much attention to these students, just assigned them various tasks, prepared various resources for them to exchange, and basically became a hands-off boss.

With the Mysterious Wooden Hut platform, Su Nan had received a great deal of supplement and improvement in the area of basic knowledge.

Night Owl and the others had accumulated a wealth of wizard books over the years, basically covering all the basic knowledge, zero-rank potion formulas, and low-level golem designs needed by first-rank and second-rank Wizard Apprentices.

With the knowledge he had traded from them, Su Nan had the confidence to cultivate more apprentices.

Now, the entire base had its own complete operating system. With the help of Gly and Madeline, and other alien creatures, Su Nan basically didn’t need to worry about anything.

Of course, he would occasionally give some guidance to the students.

On the list of resources available for exchange, there was an option for Su Nan’s guidance.

However, the required contribution points were quite high, and few students could afford to exchange for it.

Arriving at the workshop, Su Nan went to the workbench.

On the wide workbench lay a magic robe that was not yet finished.

The exploration experience in the underground city-state had reminded Su Nan, so after returning, he had the idea of making a magic item that could hide his whereabouts, for convenience in exploring the underground world later on.

After careful consideration, Su Nan decided to create a robe that permanently cast the Invisibility spell.

The robe used to make the magic robe was sewn by a famous tailor master in Shining Light City, with exquisite quality and excellent touch.

Su Nan permanently cast the Cleanse spell, the Silence spell, and the Invisibility spell on it.

The first two were relatively simple, a zero-ring spell and a first-ring spell respectively. The difficulty of casting them permanently was not high.

However, as a second-ring spell, the Invisibility spell had a much higher casting difficulty than the first two.

Even though Su Nan’s “Magic Item Manufacturing” had already reached level 4, he still failed several times before succeeding.

After that, he added an Unformed characteristic to the robe, allowing it to change its appearance at will.

Su Nan didn’t finish making the robe until the evening.

Looking at the exquisite and gorgeous robe on the workbench, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Putting on the robe, Su Nan thought about it, and his figure instantly disappeared from the room.

The room fell silent. Ten seconds later, Su Nan reappeared on the other side of the room.

“Not bad.”

Su Nan nodded in satisfaction.

The Invisibility spell cast on the robe could be used twice a day, and each time it could last for half an hour.

The accompanying Silence spell could create a silent zone within a two-meter radius around him, and any sounds would not be transmitted out.

In addition, Su Nan had also added a little deodorant powder to the robe, which could eliminate the wearer’s scent.

Overall, this robe was equivalent to adding an invisibility effect that could eliminate form, sound, and smell. While it was not as practical as the Dragon’s Stealthy Invisibility, and it could not hide the soul aura, it was already enough to deal with most situations.

“With this robe, it will be much easier to infiltrate places in the future.”

Su Nan smiled slightly. Seeing that it was getting late, he went to the meditation room.

Tonight was the monthly meeting of the Mysterious Wooden Hut, his fourth since joining.

After sitting quietly for a while, Su Nan sensed that the trading room had opened. With a thought, he was already in the familiar hut.

Looking around, Su Nan was slightly taken aback.

There were unexpectedly many people attending the meeting this time, a total of seven.

Besides him, Night Owl, Scepter, Wraith, Rose, and Heart, there was a new face.

The person wore a black wooden mask, and the words “Black Forest” were inscribed on the table in front of them.

“You are the newcomer Night Owl mentioned, right? I’m sorry, I’ve been busy lately. I didn’t attend the previous meetings. Welcome to the Mysterious Wooden Hut.”

Black Forest waved to Su Nan with a smile. He seemed to have a cheerful disposition, unlike the others who were either composed or gloomy.

“Night Owl told me you have a lot of good stuff. I’ve brought all my belongings this time, ready to have a good trade with you.”

Su Nan said calmly, “Welcome.”

Night Owl coughed lightly and said, “Black Forest, don’t rush. Let’s finish the Divine Blood Amber trade first.”

“Divine Blood Amber? What is that?” Black Forest asked in surprise.

Night Owl had no choice but to tell the story of the trade between everyone and Su Nan.

After listening, Black Forest was immediately filled with regret.

“If I had known there was such a good thing, I would have come to the previous meetings.”

“Tsk tsk, twenty Magic Stones isn’t a small sum. After this meeting is over, I’ll go collect some Divine Blood Amber as well.”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Heart said, “I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”

His voice was somewhat hoarse, with visible weakness, clearly he was injured.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Heart coughed and said in a deep voice, “A month ago, I was ambushed while attacking the Starfire Sect branch and was seriously injured. I almost didn’t escape.”

Everyone present was startled.

Although they didn’t know Heart’s exact strength, he was a third-rank Wizard Apprentice after all. How could he almost die at the hands of the Starfire Sect?

“Is the Starfire Sect that powerful?” Wraith was skeptical.

Night Owl, Rose, and Scepter didn’t speak, but they also seemed a bit doubtful.

After all, in the previous attacks, the strength the Starfire Sect had displayed was not enough to threaten their lives.

“The one who ambushed me was an old man. I heard other cultists call him Grand Priest Oveju. He has several strange things in his possession, a bit like the artifacts mentioned in wizard books. They are very tricky.”

Artifacts!

Everyone looked at each other.

Artifacts were legendary items forged by the gods themselves, possessing immense power.

They didn’t believe that the Starfire Sect actually had such things, but judging from Heart’s description, the Starfire Sect’s possession of items that could pose a great threat to a third-rank Wizard Apprentice should be true.

It’s just that such items were probably extremely rare, or had very strict conditions for use, which is why they hadn’t encountered them before.

However, the Starfire Sect was clearly desperate now and would probably not be polite to them anymore.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Su Nan sighed slightly.

Wizard Apprentices were very realistic. Although Magic Stones were valuable, they were not worth the risk of possible death.

What choice everyone present would make was obvious.

It seemed that the action against the Starfire Sect would have to stop here.

Unless he could come up with conditions that everyone present could not refuse, there was no way he could entice them to attack the Starfire Sect again.

Sure enough, Night Owl said, “Sadly, it seems like this will be our last time trading Divine Blood Amber.”

“No way.” Black Forest muttered, “I haven’t even had a sip of soup, and it’s over?”

Wraith gave him a sideways glance and said calmly, “You can also continue to snatch Divine Blood Amber from the Starfire Sect. No one will stop you.”

Black Forest spread his hands and stopped talking.

After a brief silence, everyone took out Divine Blood Amber to trade with Su Nan.

Except for Black Forest and Rose, the others had at least three, and Night Owl still had the most, a full twelve.

In the end, after calculating it all, Su Nan gained twenty-five more Divine Blood Amber.

After the Divine Blood Amber trade was completed, the normal trading mode began.

“I’ll go first.” Black Forest said.

Seeing that no one objected, Night Owl gave Black Forest a gesture of invitation.

Su Nan looked over with interest, curious about what Black Forest would bring out.

Under the gaze of everyone, Black Forest took out a golden apple.

“Golden Apple!” Su Nan’s eyes narrowed.

Black Forest looked at Su Nan in surprise, “You actually recognize this thing?”

“I found it in the legacy of a Wizard Apprentice. According to the notes left by that Wizard Apprentice, eating this Golden Apple can grant the magical effect of infinite vitality. No matter how much stamina and spiritual power is consumed, it can instantly recover to its peak state, lasting for about an hour.”

Infinite spiritual power!

Everyone present straightened up.

Any Wizard Apprentice who had experienced combat knew that in actual combat, the amount of spiritual power was one of the key factors that affected the outcome.

With enough spiritual power, they could release spells without worrying about consumption.

Even if it only lasted an hour, if used properly, it could be enough to determine the outcome of a battle.

For a moment, everyone was very tempted.

However, they didn’t notice the joy on Su Nan’s face under the mask.

For others, the Golden Apple was just a one-time consumable item that could increase their combat effectiveness. However, for Su Nan, it was enough to become a life-saving trump card.

After all, he had the Magic Emblem Core, a huge consumer of spiritual power.

The power of the Magic Emblem Core had been proven when dealing with the Mithril Golem.

The only flaw was that it consumed an enormous amount of spiritual power.

However, with the Golden Apple, this would no longer be a flaw.

If he could use the Magic Emblem Core without any reservations for a full hour, he wouldn’t be afraid of one Mithril Golem. Even if ten of them came, Su Nan wouldn’t be intimidated.

This thing might only be useful to others, but in his hands, it could be a life-saving trump card in critical moments!

Sensing everyone’s interest, Black Forest said with a bit of pride, “So, anyone want it?”

Everyone looked at Su Nan.

They had had previous experience and knew that unless Su Nan didn’t want something, if he had his eyes on it, the item would basically end up in his hands.

There was no other way, this guy was simply too generous.

Su Nan didn’t hesitate and asked Black Forest, “What do you want?”

“Magic Stones,” Black Forest said without hesitation, “Fifty Magic Stones!”

“Too much, thirty.”

“This is a good thing, forty-eight.”

“Thirty-three.”

After a round of bargaining, the two finally agreed on a price of thirty-nine Magic Stones.

Black Forest was very satisfied after receiving the Magic Stones. Selling the Golden Apple at this price was already very good.

Su Nan was also very satisfied. He could get a trump card for thirty-nine Magic Stones, it was simply a great deal.

The trading continued. After that, Night Owl, Scepter, and Heart successively took out items to trade.

During this time, Su Nan bought up all the rare metals and Soul Crystals. Others simply couldn’t compete with him.

To Su Nan’s delight, the rare metals Night Owl brought out actually included the Rainbow Iron needed to promote the Gem Worm’s division.

When he took the Rainbow Iron from Night Owl, he clearly felt a resentful gaze from Rose.

Clearly, Rose also wanted to buy the Rainbow Iron to cultivate Gem Worms, but unfortunately, she couldn’t compete with Su Nan.

Unless Su Nan stopped attending the Mysterious Wooden Hut’s gatherings, she wouldn’t be able to hope to trade for Abyssal Black Copper and Rainbow Iron, and other rare metals from others during the gatherings.

At the end of the gathering, when it was Su Nan’s turn, he directly asked.

“Does anyone have a design for a special type of golem, preferably a flying one?”
