The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 596 The Influence of Divinity

After dealing with the pagoda space, Li Qin lived a very regular life for the next period of time.

He didn't go to the steel mill for the first few days.

They might wander around Beijing, or go fishing at Shichahai when the mood strikes.

After resting for a few days, Li Qin went to the steel rolling mill to clock in every day and attended night school in the evenings.

However, he secretly focused on learning about spells.

Although Li Qin was very interested in several fire-based spells.

However, he did not immediately start practicing; instead, he chose to study and research the theoretical knowledge first.

Li Qin believes that only after mastering the relevant theoretical knowledge, or even thoroughly studying it, can one achieve twice the result with half the effort when starting to put it into practice.

Moreover, they have a deeper understanding of it.

Although the core of a wizard's power is chaotic magic, or rather, the power of thought.

But to truly achieve the ability to conjure up whatever one desires, one needs a certain level of magical skill and a deep understanding of magic.

We're proceeding according to the normal procedures.

Start by mastering spells from the basics, and eventually reach level seven where you can cast spells silently and without a staff.

When using spells at this point, they already have a hint of chaotic magic.

This is a gradual process, and it is a method that is traceable and feasible.

Although he had merged with the divine essence, Li Qin never thought he could make great strides without any foundation.

While studying, Li Qin did not completely neglect other things.

He continued to live a normal life.

For example, on weekends, he would go to Li Huaide's house for dinner as agreed.

Of course, he still didn't go empty-handed.

Aunt Mingyu was naturally very unhappy about him bringing gifts, and even kept criticizing Li Qin.

But Li Qin easily coaxed him back.

When Li Qin left Li Huaide's house, he was carrying an even larger bag.

Inside were all the things his aunt Mingyu had prepared for him;

There were clothes and shoes, food and drinks...

In front of Li Qin, Mingyu was nothing more than a mother hen.

Li Qin was moved, but also felt somewhat helpless.

During these days, Li Qin would take some time each day to go to Hong Kong.

One was to handle business matters at the shop, and the other was to win over believers.

After a period of observation, only a handful of people were ultimately selected by Li Qin.

These people are all top figures in their respective industries.

These powerful and influential people are naturally not easy to deal with, but when Li Qin displayed strength beyond reason...

Especially when they saw that even when Li Qin was hit by a barrage of gunfire head-on, he was completely unharmed, and even his clothes were undamaged.

These people immediately became obedient.

However, Li Qin knew that he had only initially subdued these people, and they were only afraid of his power, not truly subjugated him.

Unless Li Qin spends a lot of time interfering with these people's memories as well.

But doing that is not a long-term solution.

Li Qin has only recruited a few people yet, so he can still do this now. But what if he recruits more people and the organization grows larger in the future?

Li Qin couldn't possibly use magic spells on him every now and then.

"Relying solely on memory spells won't work; we must find a way to make these people willingly submit to my command."

.

A thoughtful look flashed in Li Qin's eyes;

"According to my standards, those I select are either high-ranking officials, powerful figures, incredibly wealthy, or exceptionally capable..."

Therefore, ordinary things simply cannot move them.

Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in Li Qin's eyes.

He thought of something: no matter who it is, as long as they are not saints who have seen through life and death or whose minds have transcended life and death.

They would be absolutely unable to resist its temptation.

This thing is the Philosopher's Stone.

Or to be more precise, it is an elixir of immortality made from the Philosopher's Stone.

Throughout China's thousands of years of history, countless emperors and generals have dreamed of immortality, or even more than immortality; they would have desired to live even just a few more years.

After all, what good are power, status, or wealth, no matter how much you have?

After decades, all that's left is a pile of yellow earth.

If Li Qin were to refine the magic stone and use it to create an elixir of immortality, countless people would spontaneously bow down at his feet.

Li Qin hesitated at the thought that crafting magic stones would require a large number of souls.

While the upgrade to godhood brought Li Qin many blessings and transformations, it also caused certain changes to his personality.

His humanity was still somewhat influenced by his divinity.

Previously, the thought of needing a large number of souls to refine magic stones would subconsciously make Li Qin feel somewhat disgusted.

But now he only hesitated a little.

This already speaks volumes.

However, although it has been affected, the impact is not deep, and at least some bottom lines have not been broken.

"If you want to collect a large number of souls without lifting a finger, there is only one place."

Li Qin's gaze gradually turned somewhat cold.

He ultimately decided to collect souls to craft a magic stone.

However, he did not intend to personally slaughter living beings, nor did he intend to do so within the New East.

He planned to collect souls on the battlefield.

This is the most convenient and quickest method that Li Qin can think of right now.

As far as Li Qin knows, the Vietnam War has occurred, or is currently occurring, this year alone.

This war lasted for many years, finally ending in 75.

During this process, countless people were buried in Vietnam.

Li Qin took full advantage of this opportunity to gather the necessary supplies in Vietnam.

In addition, the second Middle East war also took place this year, involving Egypt, Israel, the United Kingdom, and France.

Li Qin was also able to take this opportunity to obtain a large number of souls, and for many years afterward, the war never stopped.

These are all opportunities that Li Qin can take advantage of.

According to Li Qin's calculations, even if he selectively collects souls, he can gather enough materials to refine magic stones in just a few years.

Li Qin did find it difficult to harm people from New East, but if it were other people, he wouldn't have much of a mental burden.

"However, collecting souls is not a simple matter. It requires a lot of preparation and some alchemical items."

It looks like I won't be able to take a break anytime soon.

Li Qin thought to himself with a sense of helplessness.

If it were just about crafting alchemical items, Li Qin wouldn't have any particular ideas, but the key issue now is that some of these alchemical items require very special materials.

It might even be unique to the wizarding world.

Now that Li Qin wants to refine the corresponding alchemical items, he must first prepare the replacement materials.

This is not a simple matter.

Even with the support of a god's powerful computing capabilities, it still takes a considerable amount of time.

Fortunately, Li Qin was not in a hurry, and he had plenty of time to do this.
