Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree-Chapter 353: Liquidation Wizard

Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Liquidation Wizard
The Commerce Association’s channels have just begun to open, and the annual revenue of eleven million is actually not much. Once the improved magic potion sales channels expand, the income will increase significantly.
Duke still possesses the characteristics of Blood of War and Concentrated Potion. The Concentrated Potion is an improved formula certified by the Arcane Master Association, while Blood of War has yet to be submitted.
Among them, Blood of War is the most important. Once released, it will undoubtedly generate immense profit.
However, Duke now needs to focus on his spiritual training, striving to complete the process of spiritual power liquidation as soon as possible.
There is also a dynamic control scheme for compressing spiritual power associated with the Concentrated Potion that has not yet been disclosed.
Harrison did not stay long on the Deserted Island. After Duke saw him off, he entered a period of focused spiritual training, using the Concentrated Potion daily to aid in the compression process of his spiritual power.
In the following month, Duke’s life quickly settled into a highly disciplined yet monotonous routine.
Every morning, he would meditate on the seaside rocks of the Deserted Island, feeling the salty sea breeze brought by the rising and falling tides.
This phase of meditation was more about adjusting his state rather than increasing his spiritual power.
After daily meditation, Duke, once in the right state, would start the process of compressing his spiritual power.
A special Concentrated Potion would slide down his throat, the icy liquid instantly turning into a pure and gentle energy stream, flowing slowly into his mind.
Under Duke’s precise control, his spiritual power was no longer passively compressed; guided by the potion’s energy and his own will, it was like heated metal being kneaded and hammered by invisible hands, collapsing inward in a more efficient way that matched its intrinsic characteristics.
This process was extremely dangerous and painful. The tearing sensation from forcibly compressing his spiritual power, the heavy feeling of his consciousness being crushed, relentlessly impacted his nerves.
With each successful compression, the core of his spiritual sea, previously gaseous, became thicker, more refined, emitting stronger spiritual vibrations.
After a month, almost all of his gaseous spiritual power had been slowly compressed into liquid spiritual power.
At this moment, Duke was compressing the final wisp of gaseous spiritual power in his mind into liquid form.
With his eyes tightly shut, the spiritual power waves in his mind were refined to the extreme, like mercury about to overflow from a pond.
The vast gaseous spiritual power in the core area of the spiritual sea had been compressed and transformed, becoming a viscous, heavy, liquid ocean with a deep sheen.
Only the last wisp, like a stubborn thread, hovered above the liquified spiritual power, still maintaining its gaseous lightness.
Duke was compressing this final wisp of gaseous spiritual power. Its size was shrinking visibly, its density increasing wildly, undergoing a fundamental transformation internally.
The lightness of the gas was stripped away, replaced by the heaviness and restraint of liquid.
At this moment, unprecedented changes occurred within his spiritual power mind, entirely different from previous compressions.
When the thread of spiritual power was compressed to a certain extreme threshold, it collapsed inward suddenly, like a singularity at the birth of the universe, or a drop of water finally merging into the sea.
A dazzling light, invisible to the naked eye but brilliant in the spiritual realm, suddenly lit up in Duke’s spiritual sea core.
The final wisp of gaseous spiritual power completely liquefied.
An unprecedented, tsunamilike, and refined spiritual power wave erupted from Duke’s center.
However, all this commotion was confined within Duke’s spiritual power mind; from the outside, he merely appeared to be sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if nothing had happened.
In his mind, the viscous liquid spiritual power seemed to come alive, slowly flowing and rotating, then gradually calming, forming a tranquil lake.
Duke felt that the tranquil spiritual power had undergone a qualitative change, far stronger than before.
He glanced at his current attribute panel, his attributes coming into view.
[Constitution: 22.3]
[Strength: 23.2]
[Agility: 21.6]
[Spirit: 115.6]
[Free Attribute Points: 8]
Duke hadn’t used free attribute points to increase spiritual power earlier, intending to use them after complete spiritual power liquidation.
Previously, his spiritual power slowly increased through meditation, remaining around 107 before complete liquidation.
After completing the liquidation of spiritual power, it directly increased to 115.6, already a significant leap at this stage.
Looking at the remaining free attribute points, Duke no longer hesitated, directly adding all eight free attribute points to spiritual power.
[Spirit: 115.6->123.6]
With the free attribute points used now, the increased spiritual power is already liquid, eliminating the need for another gaseous compression process.
There’s still a gap of more than twenty points in spiritual power to reach the Liquidation Wizard’s threshold of 150 points.
For ordinary wizards, this gap of more than twenty points represents a vast chasm, requiring substantial time and resources to bridge.
Unless a wizard has ample resources and methods to increase spiritual power, crossing this stage smoothly is virtually impossible.
Bloodline Mages can swiftly elevate spiritual power by enhancing bloodline power or unlocking hidden powers within the bloodline.
For Duke, crossing this threshold is relatively feasible; by honing various skills, he can acquire free attribute points to enhance spiritual power.
Duke isn’t worried about the spiritual power threshold; he now has to consider advancing to Crystalized Wizard.
The first issue is the crystal core, missing the wind attribute and light attribute crystal cores, relying on luck to acquire them.
Wind attribute core is relatively common, and with good luck, it can still be obtained.
However, obtaining a light attribute crystal core is exceedingly difficult, as it’s almost unheard of in recent decades.
The objects capable of serving as light attribute crystal cores are too rare, requiring extremely high light attribute energy.
Achieving this requires stringent environmental conditions to produce such items.
Acquiring the Blood of the Dark was an unexpected fortune; both light and dark attribute crystal cores are the hardest to obtain.
Duke can only stay alert for various channel news while pondering ways to acquire the light attribute crystal core.
Acquiring a light attribute crystal core through conventional channels is improbable; Duke must devise his own methods.
Duke soon thought of the Oracle Plane’s Light Sect, unsure if any leads could be gained from them.
