When Shi Mu walked out of the circular stone platform, the expression of the old man in gray had returned to calm.
"Senior, I would like to ask if my ability to sense elements has reached level three or above?" Shi Mu saw the strange color that flashed across the face of the old man in gray and asked tentatively.
"Ahem, I guess... that's it!" The old man in gray clothes stared at Shi Mu with his strange triangular eyes, looking up and down, and his expression became weird again.
"Senior, is there anything wrong with this disciple?" Shi Mu was overjoyed at first when he heard the answer from the old man in gray, and then when he saw the old man's expression, he felt something bad in his heart.
"Warlocks are different from warriors. The strength of a person's elemental induction almost represents his or her potential in the art of magic. Several of our major sects have already reached a consensus that those with spiritual roots who have elemental induction of less than three degrees , it is basically impossible to advance to a star-level warlock, so even if you spend a lot of resources, it will be in vain in the end. Therefore, the elemental sensitivity of more than three degrees is the limit for each major sect to truly determine whether it is worth cultivating. If you have With a certain elemental sensitivity above fifth degree, theoretically there is even a slight chance of advancing to a moon-level warlock." The old man in gray withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly explained.
Hearing this, Shi Mu couldn't help but glance sideways at the black crystal pillar, and started to feel a little excited.
After seeing Shi Mu's actions, the old man in gray clothes shook his head, seeming a little regretful, and then continued in wonder:
"Except for the black and white crystals, if you activate any of the other crystal pillars to more than five blocks, the sect will naturally take you very seriously. However, the black crystal pillar you activated represents a very high elemental sensitivity. The ethereal power of space is almost second only to the power of time among all elemental inductions. Looking at the entire Black Demon Sect, no one has ever stimulated this kind of elemental induction, and there is no formal corresponding practice at all. The only skills that are slightly relevant are probably the formation wizard and the soul master. But if you choose these two warlock skills, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort during practice, and the possibility of advancing to a high-level warlock is very slim."
As soon as the old man in gray said this, Shi Mu was immediately disappointed, but after thinking about it, he became calm again.
Before he came in, he originally had no hope in his warlock talent, but now even just becoming an apprentice is still a great thing for him.
If he remembered correctly, among the tasks released in Guangyuan Palace, many of the enviable tasks could be taken by the Warlock Apprentice.
Thinking of this, Shi Mu couldn't wait any longer.
"Excuse me, senior, am I qualified to become an official warlock apprentice now?" He glanced at the blue and red crystal pillars with a little worry. Neither of them reached the third level.
"That's no problem!" the old man in gray replied without hesitation.
"Then I can choose to become an array mage?" Upon hearing the answer from the old man in gray, Shi Mu's eyes flashed with excitement, and he eagerly asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Based on your qualifications, besides the formation master and soul master, are there any other options?" The old man in gray rolled his triangular eyes, looking a bit speechless.
Although the words of the old man in gray were harsh, they were like the sound of nature to Shi Mu. He was extremely excited. If he could really become an array master, he would naturally not have to worry about resources for his future cultivation.
"The place for registered warlock apprentices is in the real Spiritual Magic Hall. Come with me!" The old man in gray had seen many people like Shi Mu who were so excited when he first heard that he could become a warlock.
He ignored Shi Mu and walked directly to the back of the palace. Then he groped twice on a seemingly ordinary wall. With a soft sound, an undercover disciple appeared as tall as one person.
Shi Mu saw this and quickly followed, secretly marveling at the ingenious design of this mechanism.
The passage behind the secret door was not long, and the two soon arrived at a secret room.
The secret room is not large and the layout is very simple. There is only a huge circular pattern imprinted on the ground in the middle. Countless silver patterns and unknown mysterious words are densely covered on the pattern with some mysterious rules.
"Why are you so stunned? You haven't come in yet!" The old man in gray clothes was already standing in the center of the pattern. Seeing Shi Mu still looking around, he couldn't help but glared strangely and shouted impatiently.
Shi Mu did not dare to say anything and hurriedly walked into the formation. At this time, the old man in gray took out a yellow talisman. With a flick of his wrist, the top of the talisman burst into flames. It burned quickly and was quickly out of the control of the old man in gray.
, turned into a ball of yellow light wrapped in strange energy and sank into the array.
There was a "buzz" sound, and the air vibrated.
The silver patterns and words in the map array on the ground seemed to come alive, flowing and rotating, and white rays of light emitted. After a moment, the rays of light rolled upwards, and Shi Mu and the old man in gray disappeared on the spot.
After a familiar spin, Shi Mu found himself in an underground hall.
The entire hall is made of some unknown cyan stone. It covers an area of acres, but it is empty and looks very spacious and majestic. The top is inlaid with dozens of fist-sized luminous pearls, which illuminate the entire space as bright as day.
A huge green jade wall stands in the middle of the hall. A huge bronze animal-headed incense burner is placed in front of the jade wall. A purple incense candle as thick as a baby's arm is inserted straight into the incense burner like a stick, with the head of the incense burner still left.
There are black marks from use.
Shi Mu glanced at it and finally landed on the huge blue jade.
The cyan jade wall is printed with hundreds of different marks from top to bottom. The top two are light red star-shaped marks, the second row is eight cloud-shaped green marks, and further down, there are more than a hundred white ones.
Light spot mark.
All the marks are shimmering and mysterious.
Looking at these mysterious and abnormal signs, Shi Mu somehow suddenly thought of what Huo Xiang said that day in Chuanxiang Tower, that there were only ten warlocks in the Black Demon Sect and more than a hundred warlock apprentices, and he had some vague guesses in his heart.
"Don't talk, don't look around." The old man in gray suddenly looked solemn and shouted sternly.
Shi Mu's heart froze, and he quickly stood respectfully with his eyes, nose, nose, and heart. The atmosphere in the hall instantly became solemn. The old man in gray clothes nodded with satisfaction, walked forward, and waved his hand to the giant candle in the incense burner.
brush.
With a "squeak" sound, the light from the top of the incense candle flashed out, and a stream of green smoke that could be discerned with the naked eye curled up.
The old man in gray clothes immediately stood up and waited respectfully.
After a moment, a star-shaped mark on the far left side of the top of the blue jade wall flashed, and a light red light beam shot out from it. After condensing above the incense burner, it suddenly transformed into a blurry shadow.
Shi Mu took a closer look and saw that the shadow was a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a long black beard.
"Thank you, Master!" The old man in gray clothes immediately bowed to the shadow.
