'Looks like I won't be so lucky every time …' Lin Yun sighed in disappointment after finding nothing for a long time.
But thinking about it …
Latour Gold Essence was a magic material that even a Saint Alchemist might not necessarily be able to find.
In the past, the Dark Sage had obtained a piece.
Thus, he had three Heaven Rank Puppets.
But if he didn't have Latour Gold Essence, his plan to refine the Magic Array would have to be delayed for a while.
Lin Yun originally thought that after fusing with that drop of Silver Dragon Blood, his Magic Array would be infinitely close to perfection. He even thought that it would completely topple Noscent's magic system and become the most powerful Magic Array since ancient times.
But when Lin Yun opened his eyes, he discovered that his guess was only half correct.
Indeed, his current Magic Array might be the most powerful one in Noscent's history, but it was still quite a distance away from perfection.
Apart from Lin Yun himself, no one knew what kind of strange state Lin Yun was in.
Whether it was Fran, Lys, or Solomon, they all unanimously thought that Lin Yun had fused his nine Magic Conducting Runes into one on the Planar Path and stepped into the High Mage realm in one fell swoop.
But Lin Yun knew …
They were still only half correct.
Indeed, Lin Yun had indeed stepped into the High Mage realm, but his nine Magic Arrays hadn't fused into one!
No, no, no …
It wasn't as simple as not fusing.
In fact, even Lin Yun himself couldn't understand why such a situation was happening to his body. He actually had ten Magic Arrays!
This was too strange …
In Noscent's countless years of history, there had never been a mage with ten Magic Conducting Runes. They would either forever stay at the nine Magic Conducting Runes realm, or they would fuse the nine Magic Conducting Runes into one. There was no third way to go.
But Lin Yun had the 10th Magic Array.
Naturally, this didn't mean that the 10th Magic Array was superfluous.
On the contrary, the appearance of the 10th Magic Array directly pushed Lin Yun into the High Mage realm. Although Lin Yun's Magic Conducting Runes hadn't fused yet, the qualitative change brought about by the 10th Magic Array had already made him step into the High Mage realm.
Moreover, the power brought by the 10th Magic Array was far more terrifying than anyone could imagine.
It was obvious from the Draconic Beastman.
The power displayed by the Draconic Beastman just now was comparable to Sasu of the Silver Moon Mercenaries. If it had been the previous Lin Yun, even if he could defeat the Draconic Beastman, he would have had to spend a lot of effort. He wouldn't have been able to casually use mana to form a huge hand and easily suppress the Draconic Beastman along with the boulder.
This was the power the 10th Magic Array brought to Lin Yun.
However …
The appearance of the 10th Magic Array also posed a problem for Lin Yun.
Everything he had planned was destroyed by the sudden appearance of the Magic Array.
Originally, Lin Yun had a complete plan for his future.
But with the appearance of the 10th Magic Array, all his plans were destroyed and Lin Yun had no choice but to make some adjustments.
The first step was to create a Magic Tool.
A Magic Tool that even Lin Yun hadn't seen before.
During the peak of the magic civilization, there was once a True Spirit Magic Tool that shook all of Noscent. It was the famous Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. Ten thousand spells and a hundred thousand runes revolved within the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. At that time, the one who held the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was the Great Astrologer Agalon. That unconventional powerhouse from the Starry Sky College used the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel to drive the power of the Demiplane. At that time, he was an unequalled existence. He repeatedly challenged those above his rank and trampled all powerhouses under his feet. This True Spirit Magic Tool, the Great Astrologer's name, spread throughout Noscent.
The biggest characteristic of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was its boundless tolerance.
This was very similar to the Magic Array.
If Lin Yun wanted to correct his plans, he had to have a Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel's boundless tolerance could display the full power of the ten Magic Arrays. Only then would Lin Yun's Magic Array be considered complete.
Naturally, there was no need to think about a True Spirit Ten Thousand Spell Wheel for the time being.
Even if Lin Yun found Latour Gold Essence, he would only be able to use its characteristics to imitate the Great Astrologer's Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. The imitation would at most reach the Spiritual Level. Who knew how much time and effort it would take to make the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel produce a Magic Tool Incarnation.
But Lin Yun wasn't in a hurry.
If he wanted to display the true power of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, he would have to wait until he completely grasped the Demiplane. Only then would he need to use the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel to drive the power of the Demiplane. At that time, with the Magic Array as the source of power and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel as the control center, surpassing the Great Astrologer Agalon would only be a matter of time.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find Latour Gold Essence.
This was a huge blow to Lin Yun.
It couldn't even be found in Vaughn's collection, so the rarity of Latour Gold Essence could be imagined.
'It looks like I'll have to wait until I reach Okland before slowly looking for traces of Latour Gold Essence in the most prosperous city of the kingdom.'
As he thought of this, Lin Yun clenched his teeth and picked out a few more precious magic materials.
"Merlin, there is an alchemy puppet here!" Just as Lin Yun was doing his best to retaliate against society, Solomon, who had been busy with magic materials, suddenly shouted from afar.
"Oh?"
"How about you come over and take a look?" Solomon had previously searched that abandoned warehouse with Lin Yun, so he knew that this newly advanced young High Mage had knowledge that others couldn't compare to when it came to puppets. Thus, when he saw that alchemy puppet, he immediately thought of Lin Yun.
"Okay …" Lin Yun hesitated for a bit, but he ultimately stopped his plan to retaliate against society. He patted the dust off his hands and walked over to Solomon's side.
"Look …" Once Lin Yun came over, Solomon pointed at a puppet lying on the ground. "Sauss and the others found this when they were sorting out the magic materials."
"This …" Lin Yun bent down and carefully examined the puppet on the ground. He couldn't help smiling bitterly.
What made Saruman make a fuss out of nothing was just a guard puppet.
Judging from the control center's array, it should be the Lurker model. That model of puppet had been mass-produced during the 3rd Dynasty and was specialized in assassination and traps. Because of its extremely fast movement speed, it was often able to launch fatal attacks in the dark. Thus, it was known as the Shadow Assassin.
But with the continuous development of alchemy technology, this kind of single-function puppet was gradually replaced by puppets with compound functions. For example, the Spell Breaker model was one of the excellent substitutes.
To be honest, the level of this Shadow Assassin wasn't low.
Lin Yun estimated that it was at least comparable to a 5th Rank Expert Swordsman.
But to Lin Yun, who had just returned from the Heaven Enlightening Plane and had seen the corpses of the Chromatic Dragons and Ancient Gods, a Shadow Assassin comparable to a 5th Rank Expert Swordsman wasn't worth paying attention to.
"High Mage Solomon, this puppet is called Shadow Assassin. If you like it, I can help you repair it. I estimate that its power should be comparable to a 5th Rank Expert Swordsman."
"Good, good, then hurry up and repair it." Solomon wasn't afraid at all. A 5th Rank Expert Swordsman was a pretty good strength, and it would be good for the Sage Tower to keep up appearances.
"…" Lin Yun had only said those words out of politeness, but he hadn't expected Solomon to be so impolite. For a moment, he was trapped by Solomon.
'Nothing can be done about it, I'll start repairing it …'
Fortunately, the damage to this Shadow Assassin wasn't too serious. Only its mechanical system was slightly damaged, and after a quick inspection, Lin Yun knew where the problem was. He fished out a quill and Moonlight Ink from his pocket while skillfully dismantling the Shadow Assassin, preparing to reconstruct its mechanical system.
But halfway through the dismantling, Lin Yun suddenly froze.
"Hmm?" After opening the Shadow Assassin's outer shell, what appeared in front of Lin Yun was a dark blue radiance.
Latour Gold Essence!
Lin Yun hadn't expected that Latour Gold Essence, which hadn't appeared in Vaughn's collection, would actually appear on a Shadow Assassin that was only a 5th Rank Expert Swordsman!
'What's going on …'
Lin Yun was dumbfounded. He was speechless for a moment.
'This is impossible …'
Latour Gold Essence was one of the most important magic materials for crafting Heaven Puppets, how could it be used on a Shadow Assassin?
Even an Apprentice Alchemist would know that a hundred Shadow Assassins couldn't compare to a single piece of Latour Gold Essence!
How could Vaughn make such a grave mistake?
"Stupid!" Just as Lin Yun was puzzled, a voice suddenly echoed in the depths of his mind.
"Who is it!" Lin Yun was suddenly startled.
To a mage, the brain was a true forbidden area. Under any circumstances, no mage would be willing to open their brain and let other consciousnesses invade it. To a mage, that was even more frightening than death.
But now, Lin Yun discovered that there was an unfamiliar voice in his mind.
This discovery made Lin Yun break out in cold sweat.
"Fuck, you just destroyed my body, yet you still want to ask me who I am!"
