Chapter 74

First of all, the biggest harvest is the progress bar.

On the watch, the 1 o'clock mark has been filled with brilliant gold, completely filled.

Not just filled, it's almost overflowing!

Originally, under Ji Jue's crazy liver, the progress was only over seventy percent in just one month, and now, after digesting the furnace's experience pack in one breath, the progress bar has been completely burst.

If it weren't for the fact that Ji Jue didn't have a matrix and didn't have a superior virtue blessing, he would have advanced long ago.

Fortunately, reality is not a shitty card-drawing game, and the extra "experience points" were not wasted—all insights and changes have been completely integrated with Ji Jue's ability and soul.

No one stipulates that after level 1 is full, it must be level 2. In fact, when the Awakened are at a low level, if they have a choice, they will try their best to increase their accumulation, and only after the ability can no longer be improved, will they choose to advance.

Maximize the enhancement of their own values.

This is also something Professor Ye and Sister Wen have reminded him I don't know how many times. Every advantage and strength in the invocation stage will grow and amplify exponentially in the transformation, rebirth, and transcendence stages.

These days, there is a reason why wild Awakened are not taken seriously by large organizations.

Lack of guidance, matrix, and various assistance and support, and even theoretical guidance. At the starting line, sometimes being too fast means lack of stamina. When the enemy becomes a combination of mechanism monsters and numerical monsters, the Awakened who overdraw their potential can only eat shriveled in hatred.

However, Ji Jue's current situation... is no longer a problem of lack of foundation.

But the foundation was filled by the furnace's big experience technique, and it was about to explode!

Ate into a three-hundred-pound fat man in one breath.

Can't walk anymore.

To give an example, it's like the engine in the car he's used to driving has suddenly been replaced by an airplane's, and if he's not careful, the output of the machine descending will be too strong, and there is a faint phenomenon of being unable to control it.

The solution is simple.

Just advance.

But the problem goes back to the beginning... if you want to advance, you must seek the matrix, and then obtain the blessing, otherwise, who knows what kind of ghost skill will be randomly generated if the skill tree is crooked.

But the matrix 【Non-Attack】 is still nowhere to be found.

And compared to the growth of the experience bar, what is more important is the many inductions and records brought to him by the furnace essence, and the memories and experiences of the furnace's personal experience.

If the previous resonance was giving him an introductory course, then the massive records brought by the essence are real practical experiences.

So much so that...

——Fluid alchemy, completely introduced!

The understanding of the twelve superior virtues has exceeded I don't know how many times before. Not only that, but there is also considerable progress in the four elements of alchemy—Ascension, Purification, Extraction, and Harmony.

This is the truly precious place.

Starting today, Ji Jue is the official inheritor of the extinct art in ancient alchemy—fluid alchemy!

If divided by the beginning of the Era of Catastrophe, the alchemy of the Ember lineage is also divided into ancient and modern. Compared with modern alchemy that has completely completed standardization and independence, the artisans of the past didn't have so many rules and requirements at all.

There is not even a separate classification of alchemy.

It, along with the formula of entropy, the contract of Heavenly Origin, the divination and prediction of Aether, the ritual of Transformation... and other general abilities circulating among the superior virtue factions, are all classified as secret rites.

At that time, the artisans also had strong personal characteristics, and at the same time, had different troubles.

Simply from the means, it was messy.

When refining, using human blood, using souls, using all kinds of messy things to sacrifice, using all kinds of methods that Ji Jue couldn't think of even if he racked his brains...

Don't ask what the principle is, if you ask, you don't know, if you ask, it's not important.

According to Professor Ye's statement—alchemy in the primitive period is like a group of people walking into an elevator. Some laugh at the sky, some kneel and kowtow, some pee on the ground, and some do nothing. Just like this, everyone went up in a muddle, and as for why, everyone felt it had something to do with what they did.

But the tricky part of this question is, when you think about it afterwards, no one knows who pressed the elevator button...

I think, walking four steps backward into the bathroom, shouting "Deep Blue", saying "Don't bully the young and poor", or shouting "Love and Bonds", this thing is done.

Simply one is stranger than the other.

Except for a common rough system, the underlying logic is completely different from the modern alchemy system, and some even go in the opposite direction.

But this doesn't mean they have no merit. On the contrary, sometimes, after abandoning part of the convenience and popularity, the enhancement they obtained has far exceeded the imagination of modern artisans.

And the fluid alchemy born at the end of the Eternal Empire and before the Era of Catastrophe combines the strengths of both. At that time, the theory of alchemy had converged with modern times, but it lacked the integration of several sages later. At the same time, it also inherited the strong characteristics of classical alchemy.

After abandoning the two elements of Ascension and Harmony, the attainment of fluid alchemy in the way of purification is unique in the world.

Its unique skill is the integration of the external and essence of objects—thereby improving the external strength and function in reverse through the improvement of essence.

Even if it is just a blade of mortal iron when it comes out of the furnace, as long as the user maintains it well and communicates with his own spiritual quality day by day, nurturing spirituality, then it is enough to grow into a famous sword with unparalleled sharpness.

And this is just the most basic. Under the hands of Sage Mercury, all works are like natural, without any traces of axe and processing, and the concealment is outrageous, and it also has multiple forms and functions.

It can be said that it was Mercury who raised fluid alchemy to its current height.

The few basic circuits and construction ideas that Ji Jue has learned and mastered today are nothing compared to the masters like Professor Ye.

But even so, it is enough.

"Hahahaha, starting today, please call me—Squid Man!!!"

In the mobile workshop of the Ghostly Work Sphere, Ji Jue in front of the furnace excitedly spread his arms, and then, four mercury limbs after alchemical processing extended from his back.

Like a deep-sea monster.

Soft, wriggling, wriggling, floating in the air listlessly.

It doesn't look like any powerful arm, but rather like tentacles... wriggling wriggling~

This is the first achievement of Ji Jue after learning fluid alchemy!

One look, garbage.

Xiao An reached out and poked it, a section broke into half, fell to the ground, flapping like a dying fish, wriggling, and returned to Ji Jue's back.

"So weak."

The ignorant child gave such a sharp comment, and then was refuted by the angry Ji Jue, saying that ugly is also cute, being able to grow so long is already very powerful, persistence is the most important thing, etc., a happy atmosphere.

Good news, learned it, bad news, there is still a long way to go before formal application.

Fluid alchemy naturally has unique advantages in dealing with liquid types. For example, the name Mercury comes from her superb application of liquid mercury.

Ji Jue naturally followed suit and learned from others.

Unfortunately, with his current control and attainment as a blank novice, he couldn't support the operation of such complex tools at all, and it was simply a showpiece. Instead, after four became one, it was much more sensitive, at least it could help him hold tools and carry bags.

Simply put, a toy.

The real application and results are the pile of things he did casually... in the box on the backpack next to him, dense bullets.

After the bullet head was opened, it was encapsulated with specially treated mercury.

Pre-inscribed with the superior virtue emblems of Wilderness Ruins and Great Group to enhance its firmness and destructive power, and at the same time, according to the situation, it can be replaced with special material bullet heads inscribed with other superior virtues to exert different effects.

Through fluid alchemy, the entire bullet is strengthened and improved. After using mercury as a carrier, there is no need for Xiao An to charge temporarily, and it can be saved after being strengthened by the Sword Sound matrix in advance. When needed, it can be activated at any time.

To the greatest extent, it solves the problem that Ji Jue's attack power is insufficient and it is difficult to break the defense after encountering a turtle shell. Just this hand alone, this trip of Ji Jue is not in vain.

Just, what about the matrix?

【Non-Attack】.

Professor Ye, the strategy you gave is useless, how many times has the version changed.

From entering the Rift Realm to now, I have touched a lot of clues, and I have almost touched the mystery of the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar and the destruction of the Eternal Empire, but there is not even a shadow of Non-Attack.

Am I going to be stuck at this level?

Thinking that he might return empty-handed, and might not have a way to return, and would grow old in this Rift Realm, Ji Jue felt a little scalp numb.

But just when he was thinking, the Ghostly Work Sphere suddenly made a sound.

【Don't be stupid, kid.】

It said: 【Someone is coming!】

In the void, light outlined, revealing the scene outside—right outside the temporary safe house in the ruins where they were stationed, several sneaky shadows were peeping toward this side.

Curious looking, eyes vigilant.

Holding heavy and huge weapons in their hands, like some kind of firearm, but it was a look that hadn't been seen outside.

Mainly, their appearance... all have traces of alienation and breakage, like beasts or limb variation, and at the very front, the leader...

Is the "local" that was let go by Ji Jue before.

Ji Jue, was slightly stunned for a moment.

Is this the sequelae of not cutting the grass and removing the roots?

But in the vigilance and preparation of the two, the middle-aged man hesitated for a long time, actually left his companions, walked toward this side, circled the ruins, couldn't find the entrance to the workshop, and the courage he mustered seemed to dissipate.

Sat on the ground.

As if waiting for them to appear.

Xiao An got up and propped his crutch, but was pressed down by Ji Jue.

"Not necessarily here to fight." He said: "I'll go see."

After preparing for protection, he pushed the door open.

It was as if, appearing out of thin air, not only was the middle-aged man at the door startled, but even those in the distance seemed to be terrified, raising their weapons, trembling.

"What's the matter?"

Ji Jue looked at the man's appearance curiously: "I don't seem to have handled local TV business? How come the TV fee is collected here?"

"..."

The alienated man hesitated for a moment and said: "Outsider, please come with me."

He said: "The prophet wants to see you."

This time, it was Ji Jue's turn to be silent.

Not to mention the other party's invitation, just the god-stick word "prophet" coming out made him feel a sense of inexplicable anxiety and vigilance.

He looked back at Xiao An, who was fully focused behind the door.

Shook his head slowly.

"Sorry, I've been a bit busy lately, and I don't have much time to participate in your local characteristic energetic community's team-building activities..." He said: "Let's forget about meeting."

The man froze for a moment, the sound from his mouth became rapid, like a human voice mixed with some kind of insect call, as if anxious, for a long time, Ji Jue distinguished what he was saying.

"The prophet said, she knows where Non-Attack is."

"..."

Ji Jue, froze in place.

For a long time, he looked back, looked at Xiao An, hesitated and thought for a long time, and finally sighed silently.

"Lead the way."

I took a day off yesterday on the road, and finally returned home.

But the bad news... Bai Ze is positive. For the first time in years, this is the first time. I don't have symptoms yet, but I don't know if I will be recruited next, but I feel that it is mostly on the way.

If I lose my mind and write something wrong in these two days, please wake me up with big ear melons in time.

And, the rewards for previous activities need to be postponed for a period of time, after all, the operator himself has entered a state of being unable to take care of himself...
