Chapter 87 Substitute Spirit and Screening
Trial There was some silence in the potion room for a while.
Both Mo Weng and Yin Xue were staring at Pei Ze, waiting for his answer.
Pei Ze did not hide anything and admitted frankly: "Yes, teacher, just yesterday, I just reached the standard of condensing spiritual crystals." As soon as these words came out, Yin Xue couldn't help but take a breath, widened her eyes and showed her difficulty
. A look of confidence.
No wonder she reacted so violently, it was just too shocking.
You must know that it has only been more than two months since Pei Ze obtained the moon ring meditation method.
In such a short time, Pei Ze successfully constructed the next twelve will runes?
What speed is this?
Yin Xue once again deeply realized the terrible qualifications of her junior student.
Mo Weng was silent for a while, then he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded heavily.
"Very good."
There was unconcealable relief and joy in his tone.
At this moment, Mo Weng looked at Pei Ze as if he were looking at a carved gem that exuded magnificent light, and his expression was particularly gentle.
When he first accepted Pei Ze as his disciple, he only took a fancy to Pei Ze's talent in pharmacy and did not have high hopes for the latter's qualifications as a wizard.
Even then Pei Ze had already begun to emerge.
After all, he has seen many civilian geniuses rise quickly like stars, but then quickly fall into oblivion.
Not to mention that there is a genius like Yin Xue, who comes from a profound wizarding family and has exceptionally outstanding qualifications, to compare with him. Naturally, he does not have too many expectations for Pei Ze in this regard.
Who would have thought that in the following time, Pei Ze would show his talent and strength that surprised him time and time again.
First, he showed great success in the operation to encircle and suppress the Hand of Resentment, killing Huonan and Li Ke one after another.
And now it has reached the standard of condensing spiritual crystallization early.
This talent is already better than Yin Xue!
Even among the many geniuses he has seen, it is enough to be called shining.
At this moment, Mo Weng repositioned Pei Ze in his heart.
"Now that you have reached the standard of condensing spiritual crystallization, it is time to understand this aspect."
Mo Weng pondered for a moment and began to tell.
"The reason why spiritual crystals are difficult to condense mainly lies in two points."
"The first point is that in the process of condensing spiritual crystals, the vitality of the human body will be rapidly consumed. Once the vitality loss is too heavy and cannot be maintained, it will lead to failure of condensation and serious consequences. The patient will also be drained of his vitality and die."
"More than 90% of the wizard apprentices who died due to condensing spiritual crystals had this cause of death." "The
role of auxiliary medicines such as Li Xin Shui is to replenish vitality and protect the human body. , to prevent death due to excessive loss of vitality."
Pei Ze nodded slightly, he had already seen this in the books in the library.
But what Mo Weng said next made him startled.
"The second point is that the process of compressing mental power will produce severe pain. This pain originating from the soul level is enough to collapse a weak-willed person. Many wizard apprentices cannot bear the pain and interrupt the compression process, which leads to final failure. , mentally damaged."
Pei Ze has never seen this in books.
Obviously the information in the library on this subject is not very comprehensive.
After listening to Mo Weng's explanation, he couldn't help but think deeply.
"Five standard portions of Glass Heart Water solve the first problem and increase the success rate to more than 50%." "
Does it mean that solving the second problem can increase the success rate to 8%? Ninety?"
Thinking of this, Pei Ze's eyes suddenly brightened, and he quickly asked:
"Teacher, how to solve the problem of pain?"
Pei Ze did not think that the pain in the process of compressing mental power could be solved simply by relying on willpower.
If it were that simple, there wouldn't be so many wizard apprentices who failed to advance in the past tens of thousands of years.
Mo Weng smiled faintly and said: "There are many solutions, but the best way is to find a substitute spirit to bear the pain for you."
Substitute spirit?
Pei Ze searched in his mind, but unfortunately he couldn't find any relevant knowledge.
It was Yin Xue who thoughtfully answered his doubts.
"The stand-in is an artificially cultivated ghost creature, which belongs to the technology of puppet making." "The
general principle is to intercept a piece of your soul breath, and cultivate it through special means to create a soul whose fluctuations are consistent with yours, and can bear it for you. All ghost creatures that are harmed at the soul level."
And this kind of puppet?
Pei Ze was immediately surprised.
Puppet making is indeed extensive and profound, and even this kind of ghost puppet can be made.
But when I thought about it, even a terrifying war weapon like a god-bodied golem could be made, so a mere substitute spirit didn't seem so unusual.
After coming back to his senses, Pei Ze immediately recited in his heart: "Omniscient, five standard portions of glass heart water plus a substitute spirit, calculate my success rate of condensing spiritual crystals." [
86.31%]
Sure enough!
Pei Ze felt happy.
Although I have not actually come into contact with a substitute spirit, the calculated success rate may have some errors, but the error should not be too large.
As long as he acquires a substitute spirit, he will have greater confidence in condensing spiritual crystallization.
Pei Ze suppressed the joy in his heart and asked quickly: "Then how do I get a substitute spirit?"
Mo Weng shook his head: "The principle of the substitute spirit sounds simple, but it involves the soul level. Without superb skills, in terms of soul puppets A master who has been immersed in it for many years cannot create it."
"And the entire Dawn City can count such master-level figures on one hand, at least there is no one like this in Tower Academy."
Pei Ze was suddenly disappointed.
Even Mo Weng said this, so one can imagine how respected the status of a puppet master who can create a substitute spirit is.
Such a big shot would not be able to easily make a puppet for a wizard apprentice.
Even if he wanted to, it's unlikely he could afford the payment.
Seeing the disappointment on Pei Ze's face, Yin Xue comforted her softly: "Junior, in fact, you don't have to use a substitute spirit. It's not bad to use a tranquilizing potion instead. Although the effect is less effective, it can be combined with two standard portions of Li Xin Shui. , the success rate of condensing spiritual crystallization is at least 70%."
Pei Ze glanced at Yin Xue and suddenly understood.
Yin Xue must be the spiritual crystallization that was successfully condensed by combining the calming potion and two standard portions of glass heart water.
But she didn't know that the will runes constructed by Pei Ze were not 24, but 32.
The same auxiliary solution works for her, but not for Pei Ze.
The final success rate is probably not even 50%.
But on the surface, Pei Ze still nodded helplessly, pretending to have an expression that could only be like this, but in his heart, he planned to use his omniscient eye to figure out other solutions when he returned.
At this time, Mo Weng suddenly spoke.
"Actually, it's not impossible."
Pei Ze and Yin Xue were both startled.
However, both of them were quick-thinking people and reacted quickly.
"Teacher, what do you mean by the competition with Red Lotus City?" Pei Ze pondered.
Mo Weng nodded lightly and said: "As long as you win the competition on behalf of Dawn City, let alone a substitute spirit, you will have no problem with both ends."
Pei Ze asked curiously: "Teacher, what exactly is the format of the competition? "
"For the sake of fairness, a notary was specially invited from the Star Alliance for this competition, and the format of the competition was also set by the notary. Before the competition started, neither we nor Red Lotus City knew the specific situation." "However
. No matter what form it is, it's still about who has the bigger fist."
Pei Ze nodded clearly, what he said made sense.
"Teacher, how does the Dawn Council plan to decide the candidates for the competition?"
After hearing Pei Ze's words, Mo Weng immediately knew that he had made a decision, and said: "In half a month, the Dawn Council will hold a trial, and then pass The three wizard apprentices in the trial will represent Dawn City in the competition."
"Are there any restrictions on those who can participate in the trial?"
"As long as they are third-level wizard apprentices, they can participate."
Mo Weng glanced at Pei Ze and looked slightly Yi Su.
"In order to win the competition, the Dawn Council will definitely spare no resources and vigorously support the three wizard apprentices who participate in the competition." "
Just for this reason, there will be many wizard apprentices participating in the competition." "
Not just the four major colleges, Many veteran wizard apprentices who serve in the army and major wizard families will definitely participate." "
Although their qualifications are not as good as yours, they have accumulated so many trump cards and backhands after so many years of accumulation. Against these people, you Don't let up."
"Yes, teacher." Pei Ze nodded solemnly.
Mo Weng nodded and suddenly threw something to Pei Ze.
Pei Ze subconsciously reached out and took it. When he looked down, he saw a bottle of silver liquid potion that was the size of a thumb.
"This is Li Xin Shui. A total of one standard portion should be regarded as a gift to you." "
But my help to you is limited to this. If you need more auxiliary resources later, try to pass the trial. Become one of the three people participating in the competition, and you can make requests to the Morning Council. Even if it requires three or five bottles of glass water, they will satisfy you." "
Yes, teacher."
Pei Ze bowed with gratitude. body.
No matter what Mo Weng's purpose was for suddenly accepting him as his disciple, the help he received during this period was real.
He still kept this kindness in mind.
Mo Weng waved his hand calmly, indicating that the two of them could leave.
Returning to the entrance of the plantation, Yin Xue smiled and said: "Junior, this is a good opportunity for you. If you can win the competition on behalf of Dawn City, you don't have to worry about the resources to be promoted to a wizard." For any wizard apprentice
, Collecting the resources needed to advance as a wizard is a huge problem.
Whether it is an auxiliary potion to replenish vitality or a rare item to reduce the pain of the soul, they are all extremely valuable and it is not easy to collect them all.
This is true even for a descendant of a wizard family like Yin Xue.
Although the wizard family has a lot of resources, they will not give it to the family's children in vain.
On the one hand, if there are many people in the family, they all need resources to practice.
On the other hand, collecting promotion resources itself is also a test for the wizard apprentice.
They must work hard to obtain resources instead of just sitting around and waiting for their family to feed them.
Cultivation is smooth sailing, and resources are available as needed. The wizards trained in this way are just flowers in the greenhouse and cannot withstand the wind and rain.
Maybe it will go smoothly in the early stage, but if you lack the resilience and will to face difficulties head-on, you will definitely not be able to go far in the journey of being a wizard.
Only wizards who have fought their way out of the siege and overcome all difficulties to be promoted can shine on the wizarding road.
This is true even for family members, let alone ordinary wizard apprentices.
In terms of collecting promotion resources, the difficulties they face are far greater than the former.
The reason why many wizard apprentices are unable to be promoted to wizards is not entirely due to insufficient qualifications, but a lack of sufficient resources is also an important reason.
After listening to Yin Xue's words, Pei Ze smiled slightly and said, "It's a pity that senior sister made a breakthrough early, otherwise you would definitely be one of the three places to participate in the competition." "You have so much
confidence in me." Yin Xue smiled with her eyebrows crooked. bend.
"Of course." Pei Ze replied seriously.
So far, among the third-level wizard apprentices he has met, Yin Xue is the only one who makes him feel pressured.
And at the moment when he was promoted to wizard, Yin Xue was like a bottomless pool in his perception, which he couldn't see through at all.
Even using the omniscient eye to detect, the feedback information is 'insufficient mental power, analysis failed'.
This shows how amazing Yin Xue's true power is.
As for Mo Weng, that’s on another level.
"You." Yin Xue tapped Pei Ze's forehead affectionately, and said warmly, "Be prepared during this period. If you encounter difficulties, just come to me and I will try my best to help you." After hearing this
, , Pei Ze's heart moved, and he quickly said: "I happen to have something to trouble my senior sister."
Yin Xue chuckled and asked, "What is it?"
"I need as many Knight Breathing Techniques as possible. It doesn't matter what level you are, you can trouble me." Senior sister, can you help me look for it?"
Yin Xue was a little surprised, she didn't expect such a request.
But she didn't ask any more questions and nodded in agreement.
On the way back to the apartment, Pei Ze thought about the next arrangements.
Since he decided to compete for a place in the competition, he had to go all out.
It depends on this time whether you can gather the resources needed to be promoted to a wizard.
There is still half a month before the trial, and the next step is to improve the strength as soon as possible.
"The lightning runes and flash magic tattoos must be completed as soon as possible. With these two methods, my combat effectiveness can also be greatly improved. If time permits, it is best to analyze a few more elemental runes." "The metal combination formula of Silver Star is
also We need to get it out as soon as possible and try to fuse it several times before the trial."
Strengthening Silver Star's offensive and defensive capabilities is the next step, and Pei Ze hopes to reduce Silver Star's consumption of mental power.
Only in this way can Silver Star not only be used as a trump card.
Once Silver Star can become a conventional weapon, its combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
"There are also spells. You need to master a few more first-level spells."
God knows what the form of the trial is. If you master a few more spells, you will be able to deal with emergencies more calmly.
"And Wu Yu, we have to continue to transform the fog crows."
During this time, the number of fog crows in Wu Yu's body has increased to more than 3,800.
Now only the outer city south area has not been searched.
Pei Ze estimated that after the search in the southern area is completed, the number of fog crows should increase to about 5,000.
No, this should be the limit.
If you want to increase the number of fog crows, you can only go to other places to capture crows.
But this matter is not urgent, and it will not be too late to deal with it after being promoted to wizard.
"Let the little guy go hunting by himself these days."
After thinking about it, Pei Ze found that there were many areas where he needed to improve.
Fortunately, in about ten days, the Secret Realm of Truth will be opened. By then, a wave of power of rules will be harvested, and the strength will increase much faster.
