Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 68 Disrupting My Dao Heart

There was something else he didn't say: What kind of item is worth storing in something like this?

"What? You're interested too?"

"But that's normal, after all, you're a mind-based mage, and you have an unimaginable craving for mind stones."

"It's not just you; several people in the industry are already preparing to set off. They also want to see what's in the box."

"Some people even offered a 5 million yuan bounty in the industry just for that box."

Huang Wen smiled at Wang Teng. As expected of a cultivation fanatic, he was usually calm and collected, but his expression changed immediately when he saw the resources.

Wang Teng hesitated, wondering whether he should take a look. These ancient things were usually not simple.

Putting everything else aside, that Mind Stone box alone was enough to tempt him.

If someone solves the box curse problem, then the box will basically be out of his reach. Exchanging it for a soul seed? That probably wouldn't be enough, and he wouldn't be willing to part with it.

Moreover, the Domain Soul Seed was too precious, and he didn't want to leak the information, otherwise he might face endless trouble.

But he was really unwilling to give up the stone box, as such a large stone was a rare find.

Another issue is the location. If he goes there alone and is unfamiliar with the local area, how will he find it?

He still remembered that it took him half a month to find a mine in the demon lands outside Bo City, let alone in the sparsely populated United States.

At that moment, he truly felt that connections could be very useful at times, and that sources of information were very important.

This kind of thing is never reported in China; only people within that circle know about it.

If he were to go, it would be hard to guarantee that his companions wouldn't become suspicious. After all, he was still a student at the Qing Campus and at most a mid-level mage. Who would want to bring such a burden along?

Even if he went, there would be great trouble in the future, as it would easily expose too much of his behavior, since his habits are different from those of many monks.

He could often travel alone in the demon tribes without worry, and could cause trouble and plunder resources right under the demons' noses.

This means that his solo actions are the best approach. Teaming up with teammates? If resources come along, what if you don't want them?

If your teammate sees danger, they might turn around and run away. If you don't run, they'll think you're the problem and slow them down.

If you disappear, will you ever come back? If you do, suspicion will inevitably arise, which will be a real problem.

"A mind-stone box has disturbed my Daoist mind..."

Wang Teng struggled with the thought for a moment, then put it aside. He examined his inner self and found that the trace of greed had grown considerably. So, with a thought, he erased the trace.

"Even if I'm interested, it's useless. It's on the other side of the ocean. Even if it's not covered up, can I still run over there?"

He shrugged helplessly, then took off his shoes and went straight to bed.

Having just broken through two high-level magic systems, Xingzi hadn't even had time to master them yet; he needed to continue working on gaining control.

"Really?"

Huang Wen's eyes flickered. He had just started to look extremely eager, but suddenly he reverted to his original expression.

This is the mind-body system.

He knew that the circle was instantly buzzing with excitement from the start, especially those who needed mental strength.

But when he came to Wang Teng, he saw something different; Wang Teng's self-control far surpassed that of many others.

He returned as if nothing had happened and began his daily cultivation.

With the arrival of winter break, many people have left school to go home or rent apartments elsewhere, resulting in a significant decrease in the number of people on campus.

Wang Teng's gains from spiritual absorption naturally decreased significantly, but something was better than nothing, and it was still enough to refine star particles.

Two high-level magic-type stars will keep him busy for a while.

……

Winter goes and spring comes, and summer arrives again.

Wang Teng stayed at the school to pursue his studies, living a secluded life. In just over six months, he completed the accumulation of knowledge in his three major magic systems.

Mind magic is still progressing the fastest, having already mastered soul-based control. Spatial magic is close behind, as it shares the same origin as demonic magic and is easier to master.

The Chaos system is slower, having only constructed a planetary cycle structure; its control remains in the second stage.

After half a year, the Mind System is still at the advanced level of max cultivation, the Space System is at the advanced level one level, and the Chaos System is at the advanced level one level. At this stage, the improvement speed has been greatly reduced.

In addition, there was another huge gain: his mental power broke through to the sixth realm, expanding its coverage area to a radius of 500 meters.

The Spirit Devouring talent has changed, gaining active control in addition to its passive state.

He can freely control the opening and closing of the spirit devouring, and he can also control the size of the range, although the limit remains unchanged.

The spirit devoured to the sixth realm, completely activating into a full-fledged innate ability, and the intensity of the devouring underwent a qualitative change.

"This essence is really easy to absorb!"

In the dormitory, Wang Teng closed his eyes and concentrated. In his internal space, he had stored two Commander-level essences, one of which was an advanced Commander.

Another commander-level aura was being devoured by him at this moment, and powerful spiritual essence was continuously flowing into his soul.

After gaining control of the ability to actively devour, he began to devour the essence, and the results were so good that he was overjoyed.

As a fellow demon of the same leadership level, his soul level was naturally the same, only his mental strength was exceptionally high.

Devouring the essence of the same level can greatly increase his success rate in advancing and his soul potential.

Moreover, absorbing the essence of the soul will not disturb the nature of his demonic power. Instead, it will become nourishment for his soul to advance. The soul, which is the most difficult thing for demons to improve, no longer exists in his case.

Furthermore, this is quite different from directly consuming. Direct consumption means that the stronger party will affect the weaker party, and may even change the attribute of the demonic power.

For example, an advanced-stage warrior wolf is of the earth element. If it consumes the essence of a commander-level wolf, that wolf will be of the wind element.

After consuming the remaining instincts of the Commander level after breaking through to the Commander level, it is enough to affect it, directly disrupting the absorption of magical energy, changing its own earth-attribute demonic power into wind-attribute demonic power, or both.

The newly advanced War General-level demon wolf is not yet qualified to reverse the instinctive influence of the Commander-level essence.

This difference is extremely important to Wang Teng. He has no intention of changing his demonic power attribute or even adding any extra attributes, as that would be tantamount to cutting off his own arm.

It has been taking a week to absorb a spirit of the same level, which is much slower than swallowing it.

However, it was nearing its end; the essence was already very dim, with a considerable amount of dark residue remaining within it.

As the essence of the soul completely darkened, its origin was completely extracted by Wang Teng, leaving only some remnants.

Wang Teng's demonic power showed signs of boiling, as if it wanted to advance to the higher level of Grand Commander, but it was quickly calmed down by a spiritual force.

"Phew... No rush. If you want to break through, it's better to go somewhere else."

He remembered how loud the commotion was when he broke through to the Commander level. If it wasn't controlled properly, the destructive power would be terrifying. Under the spatial tremors, even a War General-level demon couldn't withstand it.
