It was just like the Helios' Scepter in his hand, which could absorb magical elements from heaven and earth at an astonishing rate. Generally speaking, level-13 or level-14 Magic Shooters would be able to cast magic that was close to the level of an Archmage, let alone a Legendary-mage. Lin Li had personally experienced it before, and Vidas had made Lin Li suffer greatly with the help of the Helios' Scepter …
At the top of the Helios' Scepter was a milky white gemstone the size of an egg that was constantly emitting a gentle halo. However, one must not be fooled by its appearance, and think that the power contained in the gemstone was also gentle. When Vidas took out the Helios' Scepter, Lin Li had already recognized the gemstone at a glance. It was the Brilliant Sun Stone that contained the most violent power of the sun.
Legend had it that the Brilliant Sun Stone was a fragment of the sun. If it had been before his transmigration, Lin Li would definitely have disdained that statement. However, this was no longer the world before his transmigration, and Lin Li had yet to figure out what the sun above his head was like. Was it a celestial body or a real god? Hence, it did not seem impossible to say that the Brilliant Sun Stone was a fragment of the sun. After all, the appearance of the Brilliant Sun Stone was indeed related to the solar activity in this world.
There were very few Brilliant Sun Stones in this world, and even if someone found one occasionally, it would at most be the size of a bean. However, even if it was only the size of a bean, the power it contained was comparable to that of a level-15 magical crystal. The top of the Helios' Scepter was actually inlaid with a Brilliant Sun Stone the size of an egg, which was probably not inferior to a Legendary Dragon Crystal.
The Brilliant Sunstone had both the light and fire attributes, so it had a great strengthening effect on both light and fire magic. Even in the Brilliance Shrine, which had a rich heritage, it would definitely be a treasure that could protect the shrine. If such a gemstone were to be auctioned, it would not be a problem for it to fetch tens of millions of gold coins. That was just a measurement of gold coins. In fact, no Legendary-mage would be willing to auction such a gemstone. Such a large Brilliant Sun Stone was definitely a rare treasure.
Apart from the branch of the Tree of Life that was used as the body of the scepter, there was also a large Brilliant Sun Stone that was inlaid at the top. The mageweath used on the Helios' Scepter was also a highlight that could not be ignored. As a Guru, Lin Li still felt that the mageweath used on the Helios' Scepter was a rare piece of art that was definitely the work of a Master.
Such a level of mageweath was already very rare in Anril now. Wars broke out at the end of the Dark Age. Although the rule of the High Elves was overthrown, there were problems with the inheritance of many professions. Although there were Masters in various professions, such as Potion Masters and Blacksmith Masters, these Masters were obviously not on the same level as the Masters in the Dark Age. Although many people had and and had studied them diligently, Master Lin was certain that there were no Masters who could draw the mageweath on the mageweath.
In the eyes of a Guru like Lin Li, the mageweath on the Helios' Scepter had plenty of highlights that were worth learning from, even though it was only a masterpiece of a Master. It was no exaggeration to say that if a Master of Inscription could thoroughly study the mageweaths on the Helios' Scepter, he would probably not be far from becoming a Guru.
It was no exaggeration to say that if a Master of Inscription could thoroughly study the mageweath on the Helios' Scepter, he would probably not be far from becoming a Guru. It was not just a combination of embedding the gemstones on the staff, but also a connection and communication of the power contained in the two through the mageweath. The two were no longer a single entity, and the power of the combination was no longer as simple as one plus one.
The Aether Staff that Lin Li had been using was already an exquisite magic staff, but it paled in comparison to the Helios' Scepter. The Aether Staff that Lin Li had been using was already an exquisite magic staff, but it paled in comparison to the Helios' Scepter. In terms of power, even the debris of the stars was probably inferior to the Helios' Scepter.
While Lin Li was overjoyed, he couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, he had released the sealed Lord of Nightmares in time. Otherwise, with the powerful Helios' Scepter, he would probably have to be at the peak of the Legendary-realm or even a Sanctuary powerhouse to suppress Vidas in terms of power.
The Harvest Square was already beyond recognition. Lin Li directly put the Helios' Scepter into the Ring of Endless Storm, and didn't ask Vidas about it at all. Instead, he walked down the ruined square with Wilkinson and the others around him.
Arathor looked at Vidas, who was still in a daze, and felt that the outcome was not bad. After all, neither of them had any major problems. As for Vidas losing the Helios' Scepter, that was a problem between them, and it had nothing to do with a lowly castellan like Arathor. Seeing that Lin Li and the others were walking out, he hurriedly chased after them in a bid to invite them to the Castellan Mansion as a form of apology.
Lin Li actually didn't hold it against Arathor. After all, he was the biggest beneficiary. He had gained valuable combat experience and the Helios' Scepter. He even jokingly said that he had to thank Arathor for being the middleman …
However, he was not invited by William to attend the auction for a holiday. To him, time was the last thing he could afford to waste. Every day was like a race against time.
After declining Arathor's invitation, Lin Li brought Wilkinson and the others to the Time Consignment Store in a luxurious carriage that had been prepared in advance.
The auction had already ended, and Lin Li was the winner. William had also gained a lot. Putting aside the income from the auction, the potion and the branch had broken the record of 10,000,000 gold coins. Just the increase in the reputation of William and the Time Consignment Store was already a great gain.
Speaking of which, William should be happy with such a gain. However, he was feeling more uneasy now. The reason was actually very simple. It was because he had misjudged Lin Li for the first time. He thought that he had already thought highly of Lin Li, but the truth was that he had still underestimated him. Due to the fact that he had underestimated Lin Li, some of the methods that he had used previously were inappropriate. His harmless tricks might have become offensive.
"Master Felic, you also know that the potion formulas are too precious. Hence, I didn't bring all of them with me the previous time," William explained to Lin Li carefully in the carriage.
The last time William visited the Tower of Dusk, apart from inviting Lin Li and the others to attend the auction, he also wanted Lin Li to help him look at some potion formulas that had been passed down from the Dark Age. Of course, at that time, William did not know how profound Lin Li's attainments in pharmaceutics were. He merely thought that the Tower of Dusk had received the support of another pharmacist organization.
At that time, William had a favor to ask of Lin Li. Hence, under some pressure, he had given the potion formulas to Lin Li. Just as he had explained just now, these formulas were too precious, and naturally could not be brought along with him. After all, he had only wanted to test if there was any possibility of concocting the potion. The problem was that he had originally thought that he could just give away those formulas, since he still had more that he could use to negotiate with Lin Li. However, when he returned and flipped through those formulas, he discovered that there was a formula that only had half of the contents. In other words, one of the formulas that he had left with the Tower of Dusk was only half of the contents.
Actually, William could not be blamed for this. After all, he was not a real pharmacist, and his understanding of potion formulas was only limited to the names of the herbs. According to the conventional thinking of ordinary people, a formula would usually be written on a piece of paper. At most, there would only be two sides to it. However, what he did not know was that among the potion formulas that he had purchased, there was a formula that could very likely allow a pharmaceutics Guru to become a Divine Smith. It was the formula of the heaven-defying potion known as the Divine Potion. Such a formula was far from something that could be recorded on a piece of paper.
The potion formulas were not as simple as stating how many herbs were needed for this and that. In addition to stating the various herbs needed, the amount of each herb needed, and how to process the herbs and extract the required ingredients, the concoction techniques, the process of concoction, and the matters to take note of during the concoction process were also recorded in detail. In fact, there were even the necessary equipment. Some of the equipment had to be specially made, and the blueprints of these equipment were also part of the potion formulas.
Ordinary potion formulas naturally did not require so many trivial things. The processing of herbs could be universal, and the equipment used was also universal. However, the Divine Potion was known as a heaven-defying potion that could allow a pharmacist to have a glimpse of the realm of a Divine Smith.
Lin Li had obtained two pieces of paper that recorded the formula of the Divine Potion, but in William's treasure vault, there were still six pieces of paper that included the blueprints of the equipment.
Initially, William did not think that it would matter, and was even a little delighted. Anyway, he could not be blamed for this matter. He had only managed to deduce that these pieces of paper might be the same formula based on the texture of the paper. He believed that Mage Felic would not hold it against him when he explained it to him. However, he did not expect Lin Li to not only sell the potion that he concocted at a sky-high price of 10,000,000 gold coins, he even staged a thrilling Legendary-mage battle and defeated the Legendary-mage Vidas from the Elven Kingdom.
The titles of a pharmaceutics Master and a Legendary-mage were both extremely honorable. How could a young man who was only 20 years old have both titles? Thinking about his identity as the President of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic, even a fool would not believe that he had an ordinary relationship with the Supreme Council. The more honorable a person was, the more they would care about their pride. Hence, William was worried that his mistake would be taken as an offense.
