Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 280: Executioner's Hammerhead Mushroom

Soon, formal wizards came outside private box 31 to probe for information, but they were all lightly deflected by Witch Christine. As a result, everyone thought Christine had relatives or friends who needed to break through to formal wizard, so no one had the nerve to compete with her.
Although this understanding wasn't wrong either, since Locke was her junior.
Locke said to Christine, "Senior, thank you so much this time. Without you, I estimate things wouldn't have been this simple."
Christine smiled, "It's a small matter."
"As long as Junior can remember Senior after breaking through to formal wizard." Christine sighed.
"I wasn't considered particularly talented in Teacher Halen Vera's relationship network. After becoming a First Circle wizard, although my status rose slightly, compared to those geniuses, I'm still too ordinary."
"I've stayed at ordinary First Circle wizard for too long."
Listening to Christine's complaints, Locke could somewhat understand Christine's awkward position within Wizard Halen Vera's relationship network.
After all, his own teacher, Witch Sophia, seemed to have immediately achieved mental power vaporization shortly after becoming a formal wizard.
Three years later, she achieved mental power crystallization.
Locke could only thank Christine again, "Senior, I definitely won't forget your help to me."
Christine smiled with satisfaction. "Good."
"Don't worry. As long as I don't say anything about your bidding in my private box, almost everyone will think those things were auctioned by me. This auction is the academy's. The academy definitely won't go around talking about it either."
"Bid on whatever you want."
Locke nodded seriously. Next, he used another fifteen thousand magic stones to bid on a set of Star Soul Spirit Liquid, three bottles in total. That was a very excellent potion that could assist in breaking through to formal wizard. Although its effects weren't as good as Cavern Worm spinal fluid, it was also an extremely rare treasure.
Although its main raw material, Star Soul Grass, hadn't reached the point of extinction, there was very little left. It could only be seen in a small number of wizards' greenhouses.
Its preparation method also hadn't been published or cracked by the black market, so it couldn't be purchased through normal channels. Therefore, dwarf scholar Orr hadn't recommended this type of potion to Locke before.
But according to Locke's recent research on various potions related to breakthrough, he believed Star Soul Spirit Liquid could very likely assist the advancement potion, reduce the advancement potion's side effects, and better help him break through to formal wizard.
After another two hours, Locke acted again, because this time it was a special high-grade magical plant seed, the Executioner's Hammerhead Mushroom.
What was particularly interesting about this kind of high-grade magical plant seed was that this extremely rare magical plant only had one method of germination and development, which was to first establish a mana grafting connection with a wizard, then automatically mature when that wizard broke through to formal wizard.
It would absorb the excess magical tides and magical tide oscillations triggered during that wizard's breakthrough and grow into maturity.
This was a magical plant that would only mature when breaking through to formal wizard, but its power was astonishing, so Locke casually purchased it.
This kind of magical plant could generally only be obtained by establishing mana grafting during the apprentice stage. In other words, after becoming a formal wizard, he would definitely be unable to obtain it.
It had another characteristic, which was that mana grafting had to occur during the seed stage, and it could only establish mana grafting with the wizard who helped it grow to maturity. It was a magical plant with extremely strict growth conditions.
But its power was astonishing. It could coordinate with the First Circle magic Skull-Splitting Fungal Hammer, and moreover, the Executioner's Hammerhead Mushroom could later absorb various magical alloys to strengthen its power.
After Locke spent ten thousand magic stones to bid on the Executioner's Hammerhead Mushroom spores, he spent another twenty-five thousand magic stones to bid on a set of Glorious Aura.
Absorbing this set of Glorious Aura during breakthrough could protect himself to the maximum extent and increase success rate.
In this way, Locke spent a total of sixty-five thousand magic stones at this auction to obtain massive magical resources for breakthrough.
Even Christine couldn't help but stare at Locke in a daze, as if she hadn't expected that Locke, a mere wizard apprentice, would actually be this wealthy.
This was too exaggerated.
Christine thought back to her memories of the apprentice stage when using a few hundred magic stones would make her ache for half a day. At this moment, she smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly. People couldn't be compared.
On the auction stage, auctioneer Reagan himself had fallen into the fervent auction atmosphere. In this place of high consumption, high rewards, and high gambling, it was easy for everyone's emotions to lose control.
Auctioneer Reagan said fervently, "Next is a Heavy Magic Zone Fragment. Doctor Robert appraised this fragment and confirmed it was a fragment produced by some kind of high-concentration magical tide explosion. Every grain of dust contains an unknown multiple of concentrated magical tides."
"Useful for breakthrough, making golems, making puppets, making potions. Reusable anyway. Can be rented to others or sold to others later. Buying absolutely won't be a loss! Starting price thirty thousand magic stones!"
Christine's eyes brightened slightly, "Heavy Magic Zone fragments can also be used to cultivate rare magical plants. Some First Circle rare magical plants can only grow in heavy magic zones."
"Such good luck to encounter this kind of thing on this occasion. Even at this kind of auction, you can't encounter such good things at any time. I bid thirty thousand magic stones."
Soon, another private box raised the price to sixty thousand magic stones.
This kind of good thing obviously made the formal wizards somewhat crazy.
After continuous price competition, the price quickly reached one hundred thousand magic stones, but the price hadn't reached its limit.
Soon, the price was called to one hundred fifty thousand magic stones, and half an hour later, reached two hundred thousand magic stones.
When the price was at one hundred thousand magic stones, Locke still felt he had hope and called out several prices. But after seeing the price reach two hundred thousand magic stones without stopping, he directly gave up on purchasing the Heavy Magic Zone fragment.
"Obviously formal wizards will all scramble for this kind of good thing. It's impossible for my turn. Even renting it now must already have a queue formed." Locke thought, 'But fortunately, I don't need to use such good resources to break through to formal wizard.'
'Current resources are pretty much sufficient.'
'I'll bid on a few more magical resources and that will be about right.'
Ultimately, this Heavy Magic Zone piece fell into the hands of a First Circle wizard with mental power crystallization at a price of three hundred thousand magic stones.
Quite a few wizards at the scene let out wails, feeling that wizard was really too exaggerated, actually raising the price to such a sky-high price. Wasn't this artificially inflating the future transaction price of Heavy Magic Zones?
Next, Locke bid on several more magical resources that formal wizards were basically uninterested in, directly spending one hundred fifty thousand magic stones at this auction to buy a pile of magical resources related to breakthrough.
Quite a few formal wizards at the scene cast sidelong glances.
A formal wizard looked toward the direction of private box 31 and muttered, "Could it be that Christine has an illegitimate child about to break through to formal wizard? Or did she get hit with some kind of mental disorder curse? This is almost emptying her entire fortune to purchase resources."
Another formal wizard beside him said, "Come on, even if it were her own illegitimate child, I don't think she'd be willing to spend so many magic stones to purchase magical resources for him. After all, she needs magical resources herself too."
"Christine has definitely gone crazy."
Quite a few First Circle wizards privately exchanged views and all believed Christine's brain had problems recently.
However, this was Four Seasons Garden's own business, so they only muttered privately a few sentences.
Inside private box 31, Christine looked at Locke's such generous spending and was somewhat stunned.
