The Wizarding Age: I Can Explain Everything

Chapter 87 Substitute Spirit and Screening Trial

There was a moment of silence in the pharmacy room.

Both Mo Weng and Yin Xueju stared at Pei Ze intently, waiting for his answer.

Pei Ze didn't hide anything, and admitted frankly: "Yes, teacher, just yesterday, I just reached the standard of condensing the spirit crystallization."

As soon as these words came out, Yin Xue couldn't help but take a breath and opened her eyes in disbelief.

It's no wonder that she reacted so violently, it was really amazing.

One must know that it has only been more than two months since Pei Ze got the idea of ​​Yuehuan Meditation.

In such a short period of time, Pei Ze successfully constructed the following twelve will runes?

What speed is this?

Yin Xue once again deeply realized the terrifying aptitude of her junior.

Mo Weng was silent for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded heavily.

"very good."

There was an unconcealable sense of 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 at that time, Pei Ze had already started to emerge.

After all, he has seen many civilian geniuses rise up like stars, but then fall quickly, leaving everyone alone.

Not to mention that there is Yin Xue, a wizard family with a profound background, and a genius with exceptional aptitude. Naturally, I don't 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 resettled Pei Ze's position in his heart.

"Since you have reached the standard of condensing spiritual crystallization, it is time to understand this aspect."

Mo Weng pondered for a while, 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 the spiritual crystallization, the vitality of the human body will be rapidly consumed. Once the vitality is too depleted and cannot be maintained, it will lead to the failure of the condensation. In severe cases, the vitality will be drained and death will occur."

"Of the apprentice wizards who died because of condensing the spirit crystallization, more than % of them died from this cause."

"The role of auxiliary medicines such as Li Xin Shui is to replenish vitality, protect the human body, and 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 had 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 thinking.

"Five standard servings of Li Xinshui solved the first problem and increased the success rate to more than 50.00%."

"Does that solve the second problem and increase the success rate to eighty or ninety percent?"

Thinking of this, Pei Ze's eyes suddenly brightened and he asked quickly:

"Teacher, how to solve the painful problem?"

Pei Ze doesn't think that the pain in the process of compressing mental power can be solved simply by relying on willpower.

If it was that simple, there wouldn't be so many wizard apprentices who failed to advance in tens of thousands of years.

Mo Weng smiled faintly and said: "There are many solutions, but the best way is to find a substitute to bear the pain for you."

Double 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.

"Stand-in spirit is a kind of artificially cultivated ghost creature, which belongs to the technology of puppet manufacturing."

"The general principle is to intercept a portion of your soul breath, and use special means to cultivate it into a ghost creature whose soul fluctuations are consistent with yours, and can withstand all damage from the soul level for you."

And this kind of puppet?
Pei Ze was immediately surprised.

Puppet making is really extensive and profound, 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.

When he came back to his senses, Pei Ze immediately said silently in his heart: "Omniscient, five standard servings of glass heart water plus a double spirit, calculate the success rate of my condensed spirit crystallization."

[86.31%]

really!

Pei Ze was overjoyed.

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 gets a stand-in spirit, his confidence in condensing the crystallization of the spirit will be even greater.

Pei Ze suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked hastily, "Then how do I get a substitute spirit?"

Mo Weng shook his head: "The principle of a substitute spirit sounds simple, but it involves the soul level. It cannot be made by a master who is not skilled in the art and has been immersed in soul puppets for many years."

"And such master-level figures can be counted on one hand in the entire Dawn City. At least there are no such figures in Tower Academy."

Pei Ze was suddenly disappointed.

Even Mo Weng said so, one can imagine how respected the status of a puppet master who can create double spirits is.

Such a big man knew that it was impossible to easily make a puppet for an apprentice wizard.

Even if he wanted to, he is unlikely to be able to pay.

Seeing Pei Ze's disappointment, Yin Xue comforted her softly, "Brother, in fact, you don't have to have a body double. It's not bad to use tranquilizing potion instead. Although the effect is not as good, it can be combined with two standard servings of Lixinshui." , the success rate of condensing spiritual crystallization is at least %."

Pei Ze glanced at Yin Xue, and immediately 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.

It's just that she didn't know that the will runes that Pei Ze built were not 24, but 32.

The same auxiliary plan works for her, but not for Pei Ze.

The final success rate may not even be 50%.

However, on the bright side, Pei Ze nodded helplessly, pretending to have such an expression, but in his heart he planned to use his omniscient eyes to calculate other methods when he went back.

At this time, Mo Weng suddenly spoke.

"Actually it's not impossible."

Pei Ze and Yin Xue were both startled.

But both of them are sensitive people, and they reacted quickly.

"Teacher, do you mean the competition with Red Lotus City?" Pei Ze pondered.

Mo Weng nodded lightly, and said: "As long as you win that competition on behalf of Chenxi City, let alone a stand-in spirit, there is no problem in wanting both ends."

Pei Ze asked curiously, "Teacher, what 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."

"But 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 what Pei Ze said, Mo Weng immediately knew that he had made a decision, and said: "In half a month, the Dawn Council will hold a trial, and the three wizard apprentices who have passed the trial will represent Dawn City. Take part in the competition.”

"Are there any restrictions on those who participate in the trial?"

"Anyone who is a third-level wizard apprentice can participate."

Mo Weng glanced at Pei Ze, his expression slightly solemn.

"In order to win the competition, the Dawn Council will definitely spare no resources and vigorously support the three wizard apprentices participating in the competition."

"Only for this point, there will be no fewer wizard apprentices participating in the trial."

"Not only the four major academies, but also many veteran wizard apprentices serving in the military and major wizard families will definitely participate."

"Although their qualifications are not as good as yours, after so many years of precipitation, I don't know how many cards and backhands they have accumulated. When you face these people, you must not relax."

"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 glass heart water, a standard portion in total, consider it a gift to you."

"However, my help to you is limited to this. If you need more auxiliary resources in the future, try to pass the trial and become one of the three people participating in the competition. At that time, although you can make a request to the Dawn Council, even if you want to go to Three or five bottles of glass heart water, they will satisfy you."

"is teacher."

Pei Ze bowed gratefully.

No matter what the purpose of Mo Weng's sudden acceptance of him as a disciple was, the help to him during this period is real.

He still remembers this kindness very much.

Mo Weng waved his hand calmly, indicating that the two of them could leave.

Back at the entrance of the plantation, Yin Xue smiled and said, "Student, 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."

Gathering the resources needed to become a wizard can be a daunting challenge for any apprentice wizard.

Whether it is an auxiliary potion that replenishes vitality, or a strange item that relieves the pain of the soul, the value is extremely precious, 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 them to the family 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 have to work hard to get resources, not just sit and wait for their family to feed them.

Cultivation is smooth sailing, and resources can be obtained at will. The wizards cultivated in this way are just flowers in the greenhouse and cannot withstand 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 overcome all difficulties and get promoted can shine on the road of wizards.

This is true even for family members, let alone ordinary wizard apprentices.

In terms of collecting promotion resources, they face far greater difficulties 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.

Hearing Yin Xue's words, Pei Ze smiled slightly and said, "It's a pity that senior made a breakthrough early, otherwise you must be one of the three places to participate in the competition."

"You have so much confidence in me." Yin Xue smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"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.

At the moment when he was promoted to a wizard, Yin Xue felt like a bottomless pool in his perception, and he couldn't see through it at all.

Even using the omniscient eye to detect, the feedback information is 'insufficient mental power, analysis failed'.

It can be seen how amazing Yin Xue's real power is.

As for Mo Weng, that’s on another level.

"You." Yin Xue tapped Pei Ze's forehead affectionately, and said in a gentle voice, "Prepare well during this time, and if you encounter difficulties, just come to me, and I will try my best to help you."

Hearing this, Pei Ze's heart moved and he quickly said: "I happen to have something to trouble my senior sister."

Yin Xue asked with a light smile, "What's the matter?"

"I need as many knight breathing methods as possible, and it doesn't matter what level you are, can you please help me find them?"

Yin Xue was a little surprised, she didn't expect such a request.

But she didn't ask much, and nodded in agreement.

On the way back to the apartment, Pei Ze thought about the next arrangement

Now that you have decided to compete for a spot in the competition, you have to go all out.

Whether you can gather the resources needed to be promoted to a wizard depends on this time.

There is still half a month before the trial, and the next strength must be improved as soon as possible.

"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 must be obtained as soon as possible, and we must 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, the silver star can not only be used as a hole card.

Once the silver star can become a conventional weapon, his combat effectiveness will usher in a dramatic improvement.

"There are still spells. You need to master a few first-level spells."

The ghost knows what kind of trial it is, mastering a few more spells will make it easier to deal with emergencies.

"There is also Wu Yu, and I have to continue to transform Wu Crow."

After this period of time, the number of fog crows in Wuyu's body has increased to more than 800.

Now only the outer city south area has not been searched.

Pei Ze estimated that the number of fog crows should increase to about after the search in the southern area is completed.

No, this should be the limit.

If you want to increase the number of fog crows, you can only go to other places to catch 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 he needed to improve a lot.

Fortunately, ten or so days later is the day when the Secret Realm of Truth will be opened. By then, a wave of rule power will be harvested, and the strength will be improved much faster.
