In addition to being used for training, the second underground floor of the Investigation Department can also be used for members to retreat. Quins finally chose this place to advance. There is no other way. The current Tiguet City can really make him feel confident and bold.
The place to advance is as long as it can give him a sense of security.
The retreat place on the second underground floor is more like a basement than a house. Except for a small window similar to an elevator that regularly delivers three meals a day, there are no other openings.
After Quins closed the thick door with great effort, the light from the shadowless chandelier was projected from the underground floor to the basement, making the situation in the basement exactly as Quines saw it.
On the four walls of the basement and underground, there are witchcraft formations with a sense of confinement, which can prevent all movements in the basement from spreading to the outside world. This is explained in detail at the door into the basement.
Instead of rushing to depict the advanced witch formation, the first thing Quins did after entering the basement was to calmly run the meditation method and simulate it in his mind, which he had simulated thousands of times in the psychic crystal.
The process of shaman formation carving.
He only succeeded in refining one bottle of witch oil and could not tolerate any failure.
With a long sigh, Quins took out a bottle of blue witch oil, which shone with pure blue light under the shadowless lamp. What was even more surprising was that the witch oil was in the shape of strands of cotton wool.
Smashing it one after another, it slowly rotated in the water that seemed to be clear water.
Quins looked at the blue witch oil with a complicated expression. If there was no alchemy workshop, it would be impossible for someone like him, who was not even an alchemy novice, to successfully refine this witch oil in a short time.
From this point of view, wizards are undoubtedly a very money-consuming profession. But having said that, wizards usually dabble in alchemy, and it is impossible to rush to become a professional in a short period of time like Quins.
Quins gently opened the stopper, moved his right hand gently, and a strand of blue cotton slowly swam out from the mouth of the tube like a snake.
"The first is the outer circle," Quins murmured. A steady stream of cotton wool stretched out like a rope. The outer circle of the witch formation was not a simple line, but linked together by tiny inscriptions.
The inscription thread. Just like knitting a sweater, it requires the wizard to knit with patience. This is also the reason why the witch oil needs to be integrated with spiritual energy. If the witch oil cannot be controlled by spiritual energy and is purely controlled by mental power,
, Quines was not confident that he could weave a third of the circle.
But now, the witch oil is like a part of his body, which he can control freely.
Circles have different meanings in this world. In alchemy, various circles have meanings such as closure, circulation, prohibition, etc. in various situations, and there are also some symbols such as ouroboros. But all
These all come from one source, which is the original snake, the Infinite Ring Snake, one of the two legendary ancient beasts of creation.
Therefore, even ordinary people, as long as they meet certain conditions, some incredible mysteries will occur under the influence of circles. It is said that this is also the cause of the accidental birth of some mysterious places on the continent.
Without further ado, it took 3 hours of non-stop knitting of the outer circle. There was no way around it. Although the sculpting of the advanced wizard formation gave the wizard time to rest, it was divided into several stages.
, there will be rest time only after a certain stage is completed.
"Next is the inner circle," Quines continued after a break. The inner circle is exactly the same as the outer circle, but it takes nearly an hour less.
After completing the inner circle, Quines needs to evenly weave 8 inscribed circles in the outer ring with inner and outer circles cut, and then draw different inscribed witchcraft arrays in the 8 inscribed circles, corresponding to the 8 existing ones.
witchcraft cards.
The next step is to draw the fusion inscription witch formation in the inner circle. 8 vine-like witch formations are wrapped around the 8 inscribed circles, and finally converge in the center.
In this way, the advanced witch formation was completed in most of a day.
After putting away the empty secret medicine test tube and looking at the advanced witchcraft array embedded in the fluorite floor with satisfaction, Quins fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Quins woke up from his sleep again half a day later. After checking that his body and mind had returned to the best condition, Quins took off his clothes and slowly walked into the advanced witch formation and lay down.
In an instant, a feeling of blood connection came into his heart, and he could even clearly feel that the spiritual energy contained in the witch formation was slowly flowing. It was as if he was the last missing link in the witch formation, filling it in.
After completing this ring, the nodes of the witchcraft array were automatically lit up one by one. From the inner circle to the outer ring, and then to the outer circle, the psychic energy in Quines' psychic crystals naturally flowed into the witchcraft array.
At the same time, Quines' will descended on the psychic crystal, and a heavenly mantra came out of Quines' will. This was a summoning mantra specially used for wizards to advance. At this time, no matter in the chaos,
The exiled witchcraft cards, the witchcraft cards that have not been summoned, or the witchcraft cards that have been summoned all respond to Quines' will, turn into original cards, and appear around Quines' will.
8 witchcraft cards are arranged in 8 directions, face up and face down. Inscription vines emerge from the patterns of each witchcraft card. In the outside world, as the witchcraft card inscriptions emerge, 8 inscriptions appear in an instant.
The pattern projection fell on the eight small inscribed circle witchcraft formations, and fit perfectly with the inscriptions inside. Suddenly, the spiritual power level of the advanced witchcraft formations instantly increased by one level.
Immediately afterwards, the full activation of the advanced witchcraft array reflected Quins' psychic crystal, and countless inscriptions spread from it with 8 witchcraft cards as nodes. Soon, a small phantom of the advanced witchcraft array captured Quinn.
Si's will enveloped it.
At the moment when the two advanced witch formations inside and outside were formed one after another, 10% of the spiritual energy in the spiritual energy pool was drained out in an instant. Quins seemed to hear the disharmony caused by the initial operation of the two machines at full strength.
.
The spiritual particles in the void were attracted by the witchcraft array and began to be absorbed in large quantities. After entering the outer circle, the massive and violent spiritual particles were shunted into the 8 inscribed circles of witchcraft cards in the outer ring, just like 8
Like a powerful grindstone, the violent spiritual particles are crushed into powder. The useless and heterogeneous particles are thrown back into the void again by the screening mechanism of the witch formation, while the useful spiritual particles, like tamed good children, flow into
The inner circle, after being refined dozens of times, was slowly absorbed by Quins' body.
Just like the positive and negative poles of a magnet, the moment the spiritual particles absorbed by the outer witchcraft array enter Quines' body, they have the position of the inner witchcraft array. The spiritual particles no longer physically flow into the psychic crystal from the body, but
Directly from the eight inscribed circles of the inner wizard array, it flows out like spring water, infecting the entire inner wizard array in the blink of an eye.
The function of the inner witch array is basically the same as that of the outer witch array, but it goes a step further in refining spiritual particles. If the outer witch array is compared to rough processing, then the inner witch array is fine processing, and the refined pure spiritual particles can already be
Safely absorbed by Quins and converted into psychic energy.
The spiritual particles refined by the inner witch formation, under the guidance of Quines, flowed into the psychic crystal again, flowed from the upper top pillar into the four base pillars, then flowed into the lower top pillar, and finally entered the spiritual energy pool. Each time it passed through a base
Pillars or top pillars, the spiritual core will precipitate part of the spiritual particles and mix with the spiritual particles, turning into real spiritual energy.
As time went by, the spiritual energy pool soon became full of spiritual energy. Under the continuous pouring of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy position in the spiritual energy pool began to spontaneously compress the spiritual energy in the spiritual energy pool.
Under the influence of the position, the distance between the mist-like psychic energy is continuously compressed, and the concentration of psychic energy increases rapidly.
For a wizard apprentice, compared to the boundless spiritual particles in the void, the space of the spiritual energy pool is like a small pond, extremely limited. Even Quines's spiritual energy pool, which has been expanded several times, is only a larger one.
small pond. Therefore, in a short period of time, the spiritual energy in the spiritual energy pool was compressed to a critical point under the action of the stance. At this time, if the spiritual energy is continued to be poured into the stance, there is no greater pressure to proceed.
Further compression.
Seeing this, Quins knew that the time had come to move to the next step. Any further delay would only cause his psychic energy pool to burst, causing him to become an idiot in the slightest, or die directly in the worst case.
As the mind moved, certain functions of the inner circle of the inner witch array were ignited by the injection of new compressed spiritual energy, and a faint green light shield lit up, and began to slowly envelope Quins' will.
Just after the green light mask completely enveloped Quines, the inscribed circles of the eight witchcraft cards successively projected an inscription pattern, which was reflected on the surface of the green light mask. Quines looked at it, and it looked like eight inscription patterns.
The abstract card spirits formed are interconnected and printed on every corner of the mask, forming a more abstract inscription pattern with unknown meaning.
At the moment when the inscription pattern appeared, most of the compressed psionic energy in the psionic energy pool was instantly extracted. The inscription pattern on the mask suddenly seemed to come alive, and it moved rapidly on the mask, with a faint gleaming light.
Green light radiates from the inscription pattern and projects onto Quines' will.
Suddenly, in the depths of Quins' will, a huge tearing feeling surged up. The continuous tearing feeling continued, but the green light seemed to have a shaping effect, making Quins even have a superfluous thought.
They can't turn and can only continue to bear this sudden drama.
Pain. Quines, who had carefully studied the advancement process, knew that he had to push through it with great perseverance. If he couldn't hold on and fainted, then the advancement would be declared a failure, and the advanced wizard would lose control of his will.
Quins can imagine what will happen to the formation.
The second step of advancement is the most dangerous step for advanced professionals, and it is also the natural barrier that shackles all apprentice-level extraordinary people. If the first step is different for each family, then the second step is almost the same.
This step is called spiritual transformation, and some people call it soul transformation.
All things are spiritual, and everything in the world has spirituality, and the spiritual body is transformed from the spirituality. The spiritual body then derives the two parts of blood and spiritual power, and then transforms into a living thing. After the spiritual body becomes powerful to a certain extent,
Some inexplicable changes occur in mental power and blood, and then the creature becomes intelligent. The creature at this time can be called an intelligent creature.
Human beings are one of the intelligent creatures.
Speaking of this, someone has discovered that all intelligent creatures (excluding those naturally higher-level creatures) have no soul. In other words, the soul is just an organ in terms of spirituality, and has nothing to do with every part of the human body.
There is no difference in properties between the parts.
The key to advanced professionals is to sublimate the spirit body into the soul, thereby causing a qualitative change in mental power or blood. This is the essence of why professionals are called professionals. Otherwise, even if an apprentice-level transcendent can do it,
The life essence of a high-level professional is only at the spiritual level, and the quality in all aspects is not the same as that of a professional.
After the soul is transformed, the wizard side and the bloodline side have two manifestations. After the wizard side transforms into the soul, the spiritual power undergoes a qualitative change. The wizard's condensed spiritual core transforms into soul crystals, and the spiritual particles precipitated from the soul crystals already have a certain
The attributes and mental power of these souls can crush the apprentice level, and after being blended with spiritual particles, they can produce spiritual energy of a higher quality. This is the essence of the wizard profession being stronger than the apprentice level.
In addition, after the spirit body turns into a soul, the consciousness space will also transform into the soul space. At this time, the wizard can perform witchcraft models in the soul space by relying on the characteristics of the spiritual particles that do not dissipate in a short period of time.
temporary construction. In other words, wizard professionals can
Through continuous practice, it is possible to instantly construct a witchcraft model in the soul space, achieving almost the same effect as solidified witchcraft. Of course, this refers to a single witchcraft model.
Compared with esoteric witchcraft, it must be inferior.
Some people may also question that as the number of rings increases, the complexity of the witchcraft model increases exponentially. With human computing power, how can it be possible to practice to the extent of constructing a witchcraft model in an instant. This is naturally because the soul is a spiritual body.
Higher-level organs, in addition to carrying the extraordinary person's will, will also gradually carry most of the extraordinary person's computing power and memory as their strength increases, sharing the pressure on the brain.
If we use the development process of computers as a metaphor, at the apprentice level, the calculation speed of a wizard's brain is equivalent to that of the first generation tube digital machine, and the material brain is actually better in memory, imagination, and calculation power.
Its limit, although the upper limit of this limit is very high.
After the spirit body transforms into a soul, the professional will directly jump to the third generation integrated circuit digital machine. As the professional continues to advance, the third generation integrated circuit machine will gradually evolve into a large-scale integrated circuit machine. And the soul
The limits of memory and calculation power are much higher than those of the material brain.
Therefore, professional wizards will have a qualitative leap in terms of learning ability, comprehension, memory, etc.
On the blood side, the transformed soul will transform the transcendent's own blood into spiritual blood, which can not only permanently increase the concentration of the blood and better control the body, but with luck, it can also awaken the talent of the blood, allowing the body's constitution to produce qualitative improvements.
Leap, in this aspect, wizards are far inferior to bloodline people.
Of course, whether it is the wizard side or the bloodline side, the effects of soul transformation are not only soul crystals and spiritual blood. Some special meditation methods and breathing methods will transform into different crystals.
For example, take the six-crystal pillar meditation method.
