In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 48 Second Life: Elemental Forging!
"Master, this is a collection I've gathered over many years. I hope it will be of some help to you."

Morton personally opened the underground vault and presented Lu Yuan with a large number of dark mage scrolls.

Souls scorched, corpses exploded, cages of bones, bone spears thrusting...

These are dark spells.

Undoubtedly, it's more suitable for Lu Yuan than basic human magic!

Moreover, he is a fifth-tier dark sorcerer.

Morton's treasury was filled with elemental crystals and various alchemical materials.

With these resources and scrolls.

Lu Yuan believed it.

My strength will surely undergo a qualitative change!

……

a few days later.

Blood-Red Castle.

The floor of a certain secret room was covered with dozens of unusually mysterious ancient runes.

These runes seem to be the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth, containing the power of the elemental origin.

All the runes are linked together by a complex array of patterns, ultimately forming a circular alchemical matrix.

And in different locations within the alchemy matrix.

There were also a large number of fire element crystals and a sixth-order magma dragon lizard heart.

Lu Yuan had to expend a lot of resources and sacrifices to kill this dragon lizard.

“Master, I have done my best to perfect this alchemical matrix.”

"However, various unforeseen accidents may still occur during the refining process."

Norton was very nervous; his palms were sweating.

Despite being a fifth-tier dark sorcerer, he also possessed profound expertise in alchemy.

But this was his first attempt to modify a dead body!
"It's alright, let's begin."

Lu Yuan stepped into the alchemy matrix and stood in the very center.

Since he obtained the [B-grade talent, elemental modification]...

Finally, we were able to detect the existence of the elements of heaven and earth.

However, this sensation is very weak.

This resulted in Lu Yuan's ability to absorb and control elements being shockingly low.

If we were to rate element affinity out of 100, then...

Lu Yuan estimated that he only scored about 10 points.

A basic mage can easily master it in an hour.

It would take him a whole day to barely manage to perform it.

This is still because...

Lu Yuan absorbed a lot of the soul fire of the dead, which is why his soul strength is far higher than that of an ordinary mage.

Otherwise, given his elemental affinity, he probably wouldn't even be able to control the elements of heaven and earth.

If this pace continues...

He didn't know when he would become a high-ranking necromancer.

Without any choice.

Lu Yuan had no choice but to take the risk and try elemental refining.

“Master, once the alchemy ritual begins, it must not be interrupted, otherwise it will have unimaginable consequences.”

Norton reminded him again.

Lu Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Norton checked it several more times to make sure everything was perfect.

He took a deep breath and finally activated the alchemy matrix.

Alchemy: Elemental Transmutation!

The runes carved on the ground seemed to be activated, lighting up one after another.

Not only that.

Several alchemical runes were also engraved on Lu Yuan's left ribcage.

These runes glowed faintly, echoing the other runes. Ultimately, they formed a complete alchemical matrix.

"laugh!"

A wisp of flame emerged from the center of the matrix, radiating terrifyingly high temperatures.

As the alchemy matrix began to operate.

A large number of fire element crystals were refined, and in the blink of an eye, the wisp of flame turned into a raging sea of ​​fire!
The temperature inside the sealed room rose sharply, and even the air seemed to distort.

Norton stood near the alchemical matrix, sweating profusely from the intense heat.

The entire secret room has now been transformed into an oven.

The sweat that had just dripped onto the scorching ground was instantly evaporated into the air by the terrifying heat.

Norton didn't stay still for long before he looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his clothes completely soaked, and he had to take a few steps back.

Lu Yuan, who was in the center of the inferno, was enduring pain that was unbearable for ordinary people.

The secret chamber of the blood-red castle.

A skeleton stands in the alchemical matrix, surrounded by raging flames, its bones creaking as they burn.

Since Lu Yuan became a sixth-tier skeleton warrior, his bones have become as hard as steel, making it easy for him to withstand bullets.

But now, under the scorching heat of the flames...

Fine cracks had appeared on the smooth surface of his skeleton, as if it might break apart at any moment!
If the flames are left to rage, Lu Yuan will be burned to ashes in less than half an hour.

Fortunately, the alchemical runes on his left chest glowed slightly and suddenly emitted a suction force.

Guided by this force.

The raging fire elemental power between heaven and earth converged into an energy tide, which poured into Lu Yuan's skeleton.

Each elemental crystal contains extremely pure and concentrated elemental power, and Norton has prepared only top-grade elemental crystals.

Hundreds of top-grade fire element crystals were transformed and amplified by the alchemy matrix.

The energy they release simultaneously is dozens of times more terrifying than [Fifth-Order Fire Magic - Hellfire]!
"Crack! Click!"

The sound of bones cracking echoed continuously.

Lu Yuan's entire skeleton was burned red by the flames, like an over-fired porcelain piece about to explode and collapse.

But he persevered and tried to absorb the elemental power in the flames and integrate it into his bones.

The principle of alchemy is very simple.

Decompose, reconstruct, forge.

If we compare Lu Yuan's body to a water glass.

So, elemental transmutation is the process of breaking and reshaping the water glass using an alchemical matrix.

By fusing elemental energy with every inch of his bones, Lu Yuan's physical strength and elemental affinity are enhanced.

But this process, though it sounds simple, is full of unknown risks.

If you're not careful, you'll get burned.

It wasn't until Lu Yuan successfully integrated a wisp of elemental power into his bones that his fire element affinity finally increased slightly.

And the unbearable heat seemed to have cooled down a bit.

Lu Yuan was greatly encouraged and continued to accelerate the absorption of elemental energy.

But as time went on, he realized something was wrong.

Although Lu Yuan absorbed a lot of fire elements, which weakened the flame temperature, the fire elements that were floating in the world were drawn to him under the operation of the alchemy matrix.

A large amount of fire element was converted into pure elemental energy by the matrix, causing the sea of ​​fire to increase in power instead of decrease, and it even got out of control!

"Oh no! The fire is raging!"

"If this continues, the master will definitely be burned to ashes!"

Norton was frantic, like a cat on a hot tin roof, but he could only watch helplessly as Lu Yuan was engulfed by the sea of ​​fire.

Because the alchemy matrix had already been activated, even he dared not interfere rashly, otherwise even more unimaginable consequences would occur.

No matter how fierce the flames were, Lu Yuan stood at the center of the matrix, like an unyielding statue.

Even though his skeleton was burned black and shattered, and covered in cracks, he remained calm and did not move his body rashly.

The reason Lu Yuan dared to set himself on fire and attempt elemental refining was because he had a trump card up his sleeve!

The fifth element.

Spirit!
