Chapter 62 Exorcism Lesson

The Violet Kingdom's capital is a gathering place for the nation's elite, and it has never lacked super-powerful individuals. However, the number of Potions Masters on the surface has never exceeded twenty. Each one is a renowned figure, qualified to have direct access to the King.

To become the only recognized standard for a potion master, and to refine life potions of perfect quality.

The main difficulty lies in the final compression step, which requires a continuous release of mental energy to apply pressure, a process that consumes a great deal of energy.

Reaching a higher level of spiritual power is merely the threshold.

Furthermore, mastering compression techniques is also crucial. Otherwise, one can only compensate for a lack of technique with absolute strength, requiring a direct increase in mental power several times over!

hope can actually concoct life potions herself, but at most she can only reach the level of excellent quality.

As for Tai'an, he was fortunate enough to obtain some memories from the Immortal Cultivator's Manual of Weapon Forging, which, despite different paths, ultimately involved the technique of compressing particles with spiritual energy. His unimaginable physique brought unparalleled spiritual energy recovery speed. Having these two major advantages allowed him to complete the crafting process relatively easily.

For an ordinary potion master, limited by their recovery speed, each potion-making session consumes almost all of their mental energy, requiring at least three to five days to recover and return to peak condition before they can continue making potions. Some elderly or frail potion masters recover their mental energy even more slowly, requiring even longer periods of recovery…

The Wizarding Division.

In the afternoon, Alice was still the main instructor for the exorcism course, and she handed out a textbook titled "Illustrated Guide to Spirits".

"Children, as wizards, you will inevitably deal with ghosts and spirits in the future. First of all, I want to emphasize that you have absolutely no need to be afraid of them. Perhaps they do pose a certain threat to ordinary people, but to spellcasters, ordinary spirits are less of a threat than insects. You can sense them and easily drive them away. However, it is very difficult to eliminate them. The reason lies in the characteristics of spirits. Their ability to move transcends the concept of speed itself; they can appear anywhere in an instant, and spirits possess penetrability. Apart from gold, no known substance can restrict the escape of a soul. To control them, you must master what the spirit resides in..."

"Today, we're going to talk about the types of spiritual entities."

"The spiritual entity, also known as the spirit body, mainly includes lingering regrets, lingering thoughts, deceased souls, ghosts, guardian spirits, evil spirits, holy spirits..."

"Residual memories are fragments of memories left over from the deceased's life. They have no subjective consciousness and generally dissipate gradually over time. They can be directly absorbed as nourishment for spiritual power, expanding the total amount of spiritual power."

However, it should be noted that gray lingering thoughts only have value for absorption if they are purified to a state of pure white soul energy.

Alice took out a golden bowl the size of her palm, carefully opened the sealed lid, and used her mage hand to grasp the spherical remnants of remnant spirit and soul essence, gesturing to the students.

"Forcibly absorbing gray lingering emotions has serious consequences. At best, it can cause nightmares every day, reliving unresolved moments from the deceased's life, and negatively impacting emotions. At worst, it can lead to mental breakdown and subtle changes in personality."

It's worth noting that pure soul essence is a form of currency, even more sought after than gold. Gold can only be used for trade with the living, while pure soul essence is favored even by demons. Therefore, it's common to hear that trading with demons often requires sacrificing one's own soul. Higher-dimensional gods and demons, and some indescribable, unknown beings, all acknowledge the value of pure soul essence.

Alice's sorcerer's hand withdrew the lingering resentment and soul essence, and placed the lid of the golden bowl back on.

"A standard human soul's essence can be exchanged for about one hundred kilograms of gold, or between five and six thousand gold coins. The former is extremely rare and rarely offered by spellcasters."

"There is one more point worth noting regarding the characteristics of spiritual entities. Since they are not nourished by the life energy provided by a physical body, they are in a state of constant decay. Only by attaching themselves to a suitable object can they appropriately slow down the rate of decay."

Items possessed by a spirit can be categorized into cursed objects and magical artifacts based on their nature.

As the name suggests.

Cursed objects are objects that harbor negative spiritual influences; the spirits within them are malevolent, and their uses tend to be aggressive, harassing, and spies.

Spiritual artifacts, on the other hand, are objects imbued with positive spiritual energy, primarily used for defense and utility. Common examples include guardian spirit statues and relics infused with the spirit of deceased elders; these can all be considered spiritual artifacts. Most possess a unique affinity for their owner, working only for that specific master and bloodline.

"Turn to page three."

"To ordinary people, unseen evil spirits are like bloodsucking mosquitoes lurking in the shadows. They crave to absorb the negative emotions that humans unintentionally emit to sustain their existence. They feed on fear, resentment, sadness, frustration, anger, and anxiety, with fear being their favorite."

Some strong individuals who are mentally strong and fearless are rarely entangled by spirits.

In fact, they rarely get too close to the living. The life magnetic field released by the human body has a strong repulsive effect, preventing the direct intrusion of external spirits.

If spirits are like frost, then the human body is like a furnace burning with the flames of life. Getting too close will unknowingly accelerate their melting. Therefore, spirits rarely stay in crowded places, and they wait until humans are asleep before feeding, to avoid harming themselves by wandering around.

Of course, spirits powerful enough can ignore any influence. When they feed, they can cause ordinary people to experience sleep paralysis...

"Turn to page four."

"Spirits do not belong to the material plane, but exist in a higher, mysterious spiritual dimension. Ordinary humans cannot observe them with the naked eye, nor can they perceive them through the five senses. Only when both parties' spirits are on the same frequency can they see each other. Simply put, you can only see him if you are thinking of him..."

"The weaker the life magnetic field of a target, the easier it is to see spirits, such as children, the elderly, dying patients, and animals like cats and dogs. Or, during special periods, when the material and spiritual planes overlap, ordinary humans can see them."

Large-scale spiritual tides have occurred many times throughout history…

"Turn to page five."

"The difference between a dead soul and a ghost, simply put, is that a dead soul is the manifestation of a person's strong attachment after death. A ghost may be the manifestation of the spirit of an animal, a flower, a tree, or even a rock or a piece of ice at the bottom of a pool."

Everything has a spirit.

The more intelligent a life form is, the stronger its spirituality, and the greater the probability that it will be reborn as a spirit after death. The souls of intelligent races are far more common than ghosts.

"Turn to page six..."

"Regarding Holy Spirits and Evil Spirits, Holy Spirits refer to the souls of powerful beings in the Holy Realm. Their souls never dissipate and can be reconstructed through resurrection spells, or they can reincarnate with some of their memories."

Evil spirits and demons often mean the same thing; both are evil beings from unknown spiritual dimensions.

If ordinary evil spirits are invisible insects, then malevolent spirits are at least ferocious monsters.

Powerful enough to instantly possess the body of an ordinary human—a common term in magic, possession by an evil spirit.

Even gold cannot guarantee the suppression of evil spirits; an additional layer of seal must be applied externally…

Evil spirits that are extremely powerful are called evil gods, possessing power beyond the imagination of mortals.

In every dark and turbulent era in history, evil gods have inevitably descended and participated. Fortunately, the world possesses the power to fight against them.
