with a dim sheen under the weak glow of the Magic Crystal Lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron stood to the side, his gaze sweeping over the meticulously arranged Energy Isolation Array around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The risk of this experiment far exceeded that of ordinary research, as any energy leak could trigger unpredictable chain reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The guidance this time must be exceptionally cautious, remember to keep the monitoring instruments and the highest level of isolation barriers active at all times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke to the nearby dryad, holding the Abyss Crystal obtained from the stone betting shop in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an irregularly shaped dark purple crystal, its surface covered with fine lines resembling veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When light hit from a specific angle, something inside seemed to flow and writhe, as if the crystal itself was a micro-ecosystem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to my calculated energy threshold, if the energy contained within this Abyss Crystal were released all at once, it would be enough to level this workshop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron’s tone was calm, but his gaze was exceptionally focused:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And to completely guide its energy out and convert it stably would take at least two to three weeks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the master planning a phased guidance?\" Ailan softly inquired, her branches swaying gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron nodded, taking a set of precise Alchemy Tools from beside the experiment table:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, I need to inscribe Energy Guidance Runes on the crystal’s surface, establishing a miniature energy stabilization cycle to release energy at a controllable rate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a fine carving knife, carefully etching on the surface of the Abyss Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each contact between the knife tip and the crystal surface caused a faint but distinctly perceptible energy ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through ’Extraordinary Recognition,’ Ron could clearly see how the energy flowed and gathered inside the crystal, and how it resisted external interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The activity of Abyssal Energy is even higher than expected...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slightly furrowed his brow, his hand movements uninterrupted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They seem to have a certain degree of ’instinctive reaction,’ actively resisting external disturbance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the rune network gradually completed, a subtle glow emerged on the crystal’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the energy constrained within fixed channels trying to release itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron took out a small Crystal Container, placing it at the center of the experiment table, and used specially made silver wire to connect it with the Stand-In Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The construction of this device was exquisite, a masterpiece Ron had spent nearly two weeks crafting, an \"Energy Guide Device.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the container, complex energy filtering runes were inscribed, capable of capturing and purifying the polluting factors in Abyssal Energy, leaving only the purest energy essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Initiating the first guidance test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, his right hand lightly touching the crystal surface inscribed with runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strand of Spiritual Power, like a thin thread, delved into it, guiding the first trace of energy along a predetermined path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the purple-black energy overflowed from the crystal surface, forming a thin energy thread in the air, akin to ink spreading through clear water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy thread did not rush directly towards the target container but instead hovered and twisted in the air, seemingly resisting Ron’s guidance with a will of its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of a high-purity Abyss Crystal...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron’s expression was solemn, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even the first guidance is this difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He increased the output of his Spiritual Power, simultaneously tracing a complex rune in the air with his right hand, instantly activating the support array prepared on the experiment table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver light surged from the formation, like an invisible net, gradually enveloping and constraining the twisted energy thread, finally forcing it into the Crystal Container.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the first strand of energy was successfully captured, the air in the entire room seemed to become heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Crystal Container, the purple-black energy rotated slowly under the constraint of silver runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was gradually decomposed and filtered, ultimately transformed into a pure dark purple energy flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Stand-In Puppet connected to the container had its core rune at the chest light up with a faint purple glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicated that it had begun absorbing the converted energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Temporarily stabilized...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron breathed a sigh of relief, though his eyes remained vigilant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is merely one percent of the entire crystal’s energy; to fully extract it, at least fifty to sixty cycles of operation will be needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, stretching his shoulders which had become stiff from maintaining the same posture for a long time:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, the interval between each operation cannot be less than twenty-four hours, otherwise, the energy will accumulate too quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailan listened quietly, recording the various experimental parameters with her green branches:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the master planning to fully automate this process?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, that’s too dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron shook his head and replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The instability of Abyssal Energy far exceeds that of conventional energy; each guidance requires my personal supervision, at least during the first ten cycles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If operations stabilize, a semi-automated guidance process might be set up later, but I would still need to perform periodic checks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the Stand-In Puppet, now with the purple glow on its chest becoming even and stable, indicating a good energy absorption state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Within two months, combining this Abyss Crystal and the ’Breath of Chaos,’ it should be sufficient to fully charge the Stand-In Puppet’s energy to 100%.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron calculated the time in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By then, the ’Incarnation Form’ function will be fully activated; that will be a brand-new beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the days that followed, Ron allocated most of his time to three main tasks:\u003C\u002Fp>",945,"2026-05-29T14:43:58.134Z","2026-06-01T04:29:33.427Z",1,"novelbin.me","34a4c31854ae1431d2922cb6dac16279428409242933a514fed625ac0e882a0c","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-604","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-602",911,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-unlimited-profession-slots-cover.jpg",{"terms":25,"userReplacements":26},[],{}]
