My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Xia Zuo's understanding of the alchemy of the Demon Hunter School was still limited to... the Demon Hunter School possessed the ability of targeted mutation.

For example, the adaptation potion that Rexol brought out.

This potion is an improvement on the Witcher's secret elixir from the previous era, which is designed to guide the user's body to undergo controlled mutations—strengthening muscle power, improving reaction speed, and tempering willpower, among other things.

Now, Christor proposes to combine oil alchemy with the Witcher school of alchemy...

Xia Zuo always had a strange feeling that muscles were growing out of oil.

Christo noticed the puzzled look on the other person's face.

She hesitated for a few seconds and then said:

"That's right, Xia Zuo. Don't tell anyone else, not even your fiancée."

“Yes, Your Excellency,” Xia Zuo said. “You know I’m always tight-lipped.”

"Mmm." Christo gently clenched her right fist and then opened it, revealing a strange gray crystal in her palm.

"This...this is..." Xia Zuo stared wide-eyed at the illusory figure swimming in the gray crystal, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"The soul. As you can see, this is the soul,"

Christo gently lifted her right hand, and the gray crystal floated to the other party's face.

Neither the Temple nor the Church of the Otherworldly Demons knows which part of the body or spirit the soul resides in.

"But that doesn't mean we haven't seen souls."

"This soul crystal contains a vengeful spirit from the previous era."

Simply put, they are resentful spirits.

"A soul that has an extremely strong obsession and resentment towards the present world and cannot find peace will become a vengeful spirit."

"Hmm...you probably haven't heard of vengeful spirits. They've been completely eradicated within the Temple's territory, and as for whether they exist in the Church of the Otherworld...I don't know."

"Anyway, at this point in time, wild vengeful spirits are even rarer than pure-blooded mages."

Xia Zuo stared intently at the wailing phantom within the crystal and asked:

"Sir, why are there no vengeful spirits now? They're not even mentioned on the list of Category 3 disasters..."

Good question, but it's not appropriate to tell you the answer now.

Christor recalled the Soul Crystal and put it away.

"You only need to know one thing: a vengeful spirit is a type of spirit."

"Spirits can be countered by the special oils of the Demon Hunter School. The elemental body created by the oil alchemy, once adapted to the alchemy of the Demon Hunter School, will have the ability to counter spirits."

"This is a secret within the temple, and I hope you can keep it as you say."

Xia Zuo nodded.

Christo took out her secret communication ring and sent a secret message.

"I've already spoken to Sylvia. She'll contact you later."

Christo waved to Reina, "Come on, little Reina, let's go back."

"Xia Zuo, tell me when you're ready."

Christo placed her hand on Rena's shoulder, while her other hand gripped the teleportation crystal.

A flash of light.

The two figures disappeared from the laboratory.

The seal on the laboratory door was then lifted.

Xia Zuo opened the door.

"Captain, it's all over. The experiment was a success." Xia Zuo glanced into the room. "Uh... nothing went wrong... we're just missing a culture tank."

Dunk glanced inside. "It's nothing. I'll just talk to Manager Vickers."

Lanlot patted Xia Zuo on the shoulder. "You're going back to Lumington, right? Come over and sit for a while when you have time. Your energy pistol training isn't over yet."

"Oh, right, yes. I almost forgot. The marine laboratory matter is almost settled. I estimate that I can be officially transferred back in another month or two."

Xia Zuo smiled and said, "I'll come and report to you when the time comes."

"Ha~" Lanlot chuckled. "Go ahead, go ahead. I know you're a very busy person."

"Then I'll be going now, everyone."

Xia Zuo and the action team waved goodbye.

The magic circle in the laboratory hall has disappeared, and the elevator shaft has been unsealed.

Xia Zuo arrived at the first floor of the Boxin Building.

The secret communication ring went off.

After glancing at it, he immediately used the Wind Walk spell to drift towards the academy.

Chapter 84 Coupling Also Provides Experience

Sylvia, a lady who likes to wear plaid dresses.

She worked in the city management department and guided Xia Zuo and Anruer to settle in the Silver Moon Federation, and arranged for them to study at the temple.

Now, she has arranged a spacious and comfortable quiet room for Xia Zuo inside the university.

A shelf stood against the wall of the quiet room, filled with bottles and jars. All sorts of alchemical tools, oils, and enchanting materials crammed the shelf to the brim.

Sylvia used her wind-powered hand to push a heavy book, leading Xia Zuo slowly across the shelf, introducing the contents of each glass jar one by one.

"The Tower Scholars and the Tower Masters are two different concepts. The former refers to members of the Tower Scholars faction. The latter specifically refers to senior members of this faction."

Sylvia paused for a moment, "You can also think of the Tower Mages as core members of the Tower Scholars."

"The Temple has granted you special permission to become a Tower Mage as an alchemist."

Sylvia reached out and placed her hand on the shelf in front of her.

"These are the essential components of the elemental body of the Tower Mage."

"The elemental shell component on your chest contains 10 to 20 folded space pockets. You can store the raw materials needed to set up magic arrays, or alchemical materials, depending on your needs. You can also store toxins, provided they are sealed in metal boxes."

Sylvia counted the number of folded pockets on the shelf.

"Hmm... I've prepared 20 for you. You can decide how many folding space pockets to install based on the situation. If it's a hanging installation method, these pockets won't have the function of transferring items; you'll have to reach inside to get the items."

"If it's a coupled installation method, then you can use the item transfer function normally. But this will take up a portion of your mental space."

After listening, Xia Zuo nodded slowly.

He unleashed his detection spell at the folded pocket.

..

Installation Requirements

1. Mount: Occupies one element's chest node.

2. Coupling: Occupies 1 chest node and 0.2 spirit slots.

..

0.2 * 20 = 4

To fill 20 space pockets with item transfer capabilities, you need to occupy 4 spirit slots.

Xia Zuode needs to allocate 1 free attribute point to [Spirit] to meet this requirement.

Sylvia patted a long metal box on the shelf.

"This is the [Mage's Hand] installed on the two arms of the Elemental Body—an alchemical arm with affinity for all four elements."

"It can only be installed in a coupled manner and driven by your elemental energy."

"I don't need to go into detail about its maintenance and upkeep. You're an expert in this area and know much more about it than I do."

Sylvia opened the metal box.

A long and slender bionic arm appeared before my eyes. It looked much thinner than a normal person's arm, and its skin was yellowish, giving it a bony appearance.

This is because it is not yet compatible with the elemental shell.

Based on the information of resistance from the detection technique.

After this alchemical arm is coupled with the elemental body, it can change its appearance according to the owner's wishes.

It can enhance all spells and automatically inscribe spell patterns, which is both accurate and fast, saving its owner's energy.

have to be aware of is.

This alchemical arm is not attached to the body.

Xia Zuo doesn't need to dislocate his arm for it.

It is a component of the element's shell, and its inner layer is hollow.

After Xia Zuo activates the Elemental Body, this alchemical arm will be worn on his arm like a sleeve.

Similarly, the leg component called "Mage Prosthetic Legs" does not require the Tower Mage to self-harm.

They will transform into leg warmers that fit snugly against the underwear, appearing directly on the surface of the thighs.

The [Mage's Prosthetic Legs] have been solidified and enchanted with many additional functions such as [Stable Suspension], [Walking on Liquid Surface], and [Stable Center of Gravity].

After coupling them, users can become familiar with them and use levitation instead of walking to traverse complex terrains or become immune to fall damage.

The elemental shell components on the back and head are the commonly seen Tower Mage robes.

Its professional name is the [Mage Cloak], which has strong elemental resistance, comes with a hood and mask, and has a complete set of alchemy stone devices inside.

Xia Zuo already has a basic life alchemy stone, which can only be used as a backup item in emergencies.

The [Mage Cloak] has a built-in alchemy device that contains three types of alchemy stones: Life, Destruction, and Protection.

The purpose of the Life Alchemy Stone is self-evident; it is specifically used to store functional potions and restorative agents.
