The crater is located on the island of the same name, 110 kilometers south of the southern coastline of the Eastern Continent.

The terrain there is very strange.

Viewed from a high place, it looks like a water tank.

Two semi-arc giant mountains in the north and south surround the central rainforest basin.

The vertical ecological environment with huge height difference, abundant rainfall, spring-like temperatures all year round, fertile land, etc., have created an isolated place with diverse biological species and countless wonderful natural creations.

The universal antidote comes from the crater.

The search team sent by the temple took the Jintasa Temple in the Rainforest Basin as their foothold and searched all the shaman tribes in the basin.

In the first month after arriving in the crater, I discovered a shrine controlled by a small tribe.

The senior leaders of this tribe took advantage of the small number of people in the tribe and their easy control, and secretly extended their lifespan by occupying the bodies of their children.

Temple troops held a secret trial against the tribe.

The person holding the shrine at that time was the deputy leader of that tribe. When he was in the spirit form and fought against the mage holding the shrine in the temple team, his shrine candle was about this long. Kerry Situo stretched out his right index finger and said, The mage who holds the shrine in the temple team can guarantee that he saw it correctly.

But when we caught the deputy leader and forced him to hand over the shrine, the shrine candle shortened to what it is now. Kristo tilted her chin slightly, It's the one in front of you.

Xia Zuo glanced at the candle, which was only half the length of a finger. It's two-thirds missing, right?

Yes. Kristo nodded, We disarmed the deputy leader and blocked his spell-casting ability. A strange thing happened when we tried to peel off his elemental body.

Kristo paused, His elemental body is gone.

Disappeared? Xia Zuo touched the back of his head, Disappeared out of thin air?

That's right. Kristo frowned slightly, seeming to remember what it was, We obviously saw his elemental body in the previous battle, but why did the elemental body disappear after we captured him? What happened? The temple team questioned him for a long time, but the man still refused to reveal it. Then, we connected his abnormality with the missing candle in the shrine...

Kristo adjusted her sitting posture and leaned her upper body on the back of the chair. The temple team subsequently found several niches. We did several experiments using the longer-length candles in the niches. For example, let several mages , mount or couple the shrine candles to your own elemental body, or make the shrine candles into spiritual materials and use them as engraving or enchanting materials.

Kristo took a breath, her chest rose and fell, and sighed slightly, Unfortunately, there is nothing gained. In the spiritual field, the temple is always at a disadvantage, which is an obvious shortcoming. Maybe we have to wait until Sa Only when the Manchu Academy completely hands over the relevant classics can things get better.

In short, after controlling specific variables and doing a series of experiments, we got no results, nothing happened. Now, we have eliminated most of the wrong answers, leaving only one experimental idea that has not yet been tested. Kristo pointed at the other party, Using the shrine candle in the process of condensing the elemental body is the experiment I want you to do.

Xia Zuo remained silent and fell into deep thought.

Cristo didn't bother him.

To overcome the fear or fear of the unknown, only the person involved can do it.

I am willing to give it a try, Your Excellency.

Xia Zuo made this decision not out of a sense of adventure or because he wanted to get Kristo's reward.

He thought deeply about it.

Judging from the spiritual props we have come into contact with so far, they are more closely related to spiritual bodies.

And related to the spirit body is the spiritual thread.

The golden finger is within the spiritual line again.

If the candle in the shrine can cause trouble on the spirit body, it will definitely be related to the golden finger.

Let me ask, is there anything that can compete with Goldfinger?

And Kristo also said... nothing happened after the candle merged with the elemental body.

Xia Zuo estimated that this should be the result for him.

Are you sure you accept it? Cristo asked.

Confirmed, Your Excellency.

Okay then, take this. Kristo took back the wooden box and handed over a crystal. When you plan to condense the elemental body, rent a meditation room in the academy and send me a secret message. .I will give you the shrine candle through this crystal.

Okay. Xia Zuo took the crystal, looked at it for a moment, and then stuffed it into his alchemy pocket.

As for the rewards I promised, I've prepared them. Kristo took out a wooden box with both hands. If your experimental results are the same as the previous experimenters, and there is no change, then I will give them to you. I will give you a puree of the universal antidote as a reward. You can use it for research or sell it to the Category 3 Disaster Emergency Response Department.

Cristo shook the box in her right hand and said, If you have different experimental results, even if they are only slightly different, you can get this small prop. I can't tell you what it is specifically. I hope you can understand. I have to Prevent subjective bias.”

Xia Zuo automatically translated the other party's last sentence into:

The effect of this prop is very attractive. If you know what it is in advance, you may make up false experimental results to defraud this reward.

Xia Zuo didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party's arrangement.

Your Excellency, I plan to start condensing the elemental body after visiting my mentor, no later than noon tomorrow. Xia Zuo added, Noon in the Silver Moon Federation.

I'm waiting for your news. Kristo stood up, moved away from the sofa, and sent Xia Zuo back.

With his eyes closed and opened, Xia Zuo returned to Poseidon City.

He took out the secret message ring of Adanavados, glanced at the secret instructions on it, and stepped into the light of the teleportation crystal again.

An hour later, Xia Zuo returned to Poseidon City again, using the wind technique to fly towards the St. York community in the bright moon and starlight.

The advice given by Adanawados was similar to that given by Team Leader Hillenberg.

He also revealed some of the history of the elemental body to Xia Zuo. Perhaps because he was in the outer temple, his words were more vague and not as specific as Hillenburg.

In general, Adanawados also suggested that Xia Zuo choose a universal elemental body.

If you must condense other types, he suggested choosing an elemental body dedicated to oil alchemy.

That’s right, oil alchemy, not poison or bio-alchemy.

Adanavardos entered the field of alchemy from the alchemy of poisons, and learned about living things, strange objects, potions, and oils in sequence.

Oil alchemy was the last alchemy he mastered, and it was also the most difficult one.

In alchemy, 1+1 definitely equals 2, but in oil alchemy, it does not. 1+1 may equal any number except 2.

In the same place, at the same time period, by the same alchemist, using the exact same raw materials, in the same environment, the two oils refined are actually different.

No matter how hard you try, the product is slightly different every time.

The most terrible thing is that this small difference will lead to huge deviations in the final alchemical output.

A typical example is tanning agents.

Tanning agents above level 100 are all made using the same alchemical process. With full control of all aspects of alchemy, the performance of the products varies greatly, ranging from level 100 to hundreds of levels.

What the Mage Temple currently lacks is not tanning agents around level 100, but tanning agents above level 200. Tanning agents of this level can only be refined by luck, that is, metaphysics. Each copy has a price and no market. The price is above 2 million points.

The elemental shell dedicated to oil alchemy has the function of enhancing the success rate of making oil and improving the product level.

If there hadn't been a commission from Kristo, Xia Zuo would have had a good chance of choosing an elemental body dedicated to oil alchemy.

Now, he must condense the universal type.

The next day, Sunday, morning.

Xia Zuo came to Yingrui Academy in Poseidon City.

He asked Hillenburg to take Monday to Wednesday off and spent four full days condensing his elemental body.

In an elegantly decorated meditation room, sunlight passes through transparent glass and casts bright spots on the floor.

Xia Zuo was sitting on a comfortable recliner. On the table in front of him, there were hundreds of bottles of elements with different rays of light stacked on them.

He took out the small crystal that Cristo had given him and crushed it hard.

The crystal fragments were suspended in the air and melted like water, turning into a white mirror.

A female forearm stretched out from the mirror, with a small wooden box on the open palm.

After Xia Zuo picked up the wooden box, the female forearm retracted and the mirror disappeared.

Is that Crystal's arm?

Xia Zuo was stunned.

It does not seem.

Bicristo's arms were slender and shorter, and they felt like the arms of a little girl.

Forget it, never mind her.

Xia Zuo opened the wooden box on the table, used the alchemy tools he had prepared, ground the candles in the shrine into powder, divided them into 108 equal parts, and added them to the corresponding element bottles.

The first step to condense the elemental body is to enter a shallow state of meditation and connect with all the elemental bottles, without leaving any behind.

As the number of connected element bottles increases, it becomes more difficult to maintain the existing connection, and energy consumption becomes very fast.

Xia Zuo drank several mouthfuls of potion in advance, extending the duration of the [energetic] special effect to 5 days. With double the energy value, he resisted the consumption of the linked element bottle, and completed the first attempt in just one attempt. step.

Next, take a secret medicine produced by a tower scholar, and then enter deep meditation. In the spiritual ocean, you will see a humanoid luminous body similar to your own body.

The clever elements in the element bottle will float around the humanoid luminous body.

By placing these clever elements on various parts of the humanoid luminous body according to a specific sequence, the elemental body can be condensed.

This is the current mainstream method. Compared with the original condensation method, it is safe and intuitive. Any operation performed on the humanoid luminous body will be reflected on the body, and the steps will be completed by secret medicine.

After Xia Zuo drank the secret medicine, he lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

When his consciousness sank, Goldfinger's message came to his mind:

Trying to enter a deep meditation or contemplative state, please select the state you are about to enter.

Xia Zuo followed the steps of condensing the elemental body and chose [Enter Deep Meditation].

3, 2, 1... Entry failed, please re-select the state you want to enter.

? ? ?

Failed?

Xia Zuo controlled his mood swings.

His intuition told him that it was the candle powder.

Xia Zuo changed his choice and selected [Enter Meditation State].

3, 2, 1... Entry failed, please re-select the state you want to enter.

! ! !

Failed again?

What to do?

Should I wake up directly?

Those more than 100 element bottles would all be in vain.

Xia Zuo could even imagine the scene where more than 100 well-behaved elements were transformed into unruly elements in an instant, and then flew out of the element bottles and scattered everywhere... It must be beautiful, but... but it also makes people want to cry without tears. , this is several months of hard work.

Xia Zuo calmed down and tried several more options, all of which ended in failure.

No, no, we have to think of a way.

Xia Zuo called up his character template.

In the status bar next to the blood volume, the effectiveness of the secret medicine is counting down, and the remaining duration is 71 hours and 45 minutes.

Before the countdown ends, as long as Xia Zuo doesn't panic, he will not exit this state of sinking consciousness but unable to enter meditation or contemplation.

He didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he could only keep trying...

Meanwhile, in the meditation room.

Xia Zuo's body lay on the sofa with his eyes closed.

The elemental aura on his body floated out from his body.

Dots of light were attracted by the element bottle next to them. They gathered together and transformed into a delicate silk thread, which extended to the mouth of the bottle, entangled the well-behaved elements in the bottle, and slowly dragged them towards Xia Zuo's body.

Day and night change outside the window, the sun sets and the moon rises.

When the last well-behaved element was dragged into Xia Zuo's body, three days had passed.

Xia Zuo struggled until the last moment, and did not wake up from the darkness until the secret medicine was completely exhausted.

This persistence is commendable.

But, the reality is cruel.

What the hell? Xia Zuo endured the curse from his previous life, covered his face with red eyes, and looked at the empty element bottle in front of him in pain.

Gone, all gone.

The clever elements ran away completely.

There is no change at all in the character template.

Chest tightness, shortness of breath, heartache.

Xia Zuo sighed helplessly and dialed a secret message to Cristo.

The reply this time was very fast. In less than half a minute, there was a reply: I heard a knock on the door and opened the door.

Cristo herself wants to come and inspect the experiment site in person?

Dong dong dong.

Xia Zuo opened the door and let the cloaked man outside the door walk in.

Xia Zuo, we meet again. The person speaking was a woman, a little older, about 30 years old.

Master Lemon. Xia Zuo bowed and greeted.

Lemon is the outer hall master of the Tower Scholars. He once led the Tower Mages to obtain two cubs of the Deep Sea Turtle using a diffraction array.

Don't be too sad, Xia Zuo, we will compensate you. Master Lemon stretched out his arm towards the sofa, You sit down first, I will do some examinations for you.

Okay, Master. Xia Zuo walked around the low table filled with empty bottles and sat down.

Master Lemon waved his right hand in front of him, summoning light groups of 9 colors.

The light groups took turns casting detection spells on the figure on the sofa, and then detected the empty element bottles and every corner of the meditation room.

It is indeed a failure. Master Lemon sighed, summoned a blue sofa woven with magic, and sat opposite Xia Zuo, Can you tell me what happened?

Of course, Master. Xia Zuo said everything he had prepared, hiding the existence of Golden Finger, and only mentioned that his consciousness was not limited to sinking, and he could not enter meditation, nor could he enter meditation, let alone wake up.

In other words, Master Lemon looked at the empty element bottle, you were disturbed by the candles in the niche when you entered deep meditation, and the connection with the element bottle was broken. These well-behaved elements dispersed because they lost their bonds.

Xia Zuo nodded dullly.

Hmm... Master Lemon put his hands on his thighs and thought for a few seconds, The secret medicine that condenses the elemental body will not prevent the user from entering a state of meditation or contemplation. And you are forced to stay in the darkness. …This should be caused by the lack of some key props.”

Key prop? Xia Zuo's inner sadness was taken over by curiosity.

Yes. Just like when you are making poison, you have refined the compound toxin, but lack of suitable solvents, causing the production process to be in trouble. If we can find the key props, we can continue to the next step.

Master Lemon pondered for a moment, Unfortunately, the Shaman Society doesn't know much about shrine candles, so we can only explore slowly.

Master Lemon took out a pendant from his sleeve robe, Take this, Xia Zuo. As agreed, we will double your losses. This pendant can help you make elemental bottles faster. After you tame 216 After a small cute element, it will automatically expire.

Xia Zuo took the pendant and released the detection technique. The feedback result was consistent with what the other party said.

And this. Master Lemon took out the wooden box, This is a 100 ml universal antidote puree. The right to dispose of it is in your hands. If you sell it to a school now, you can get 30,000 citizen points.

30,000... Xia Zuo clicked his tongue...

Master Lemon said with a smile, If you master the blending method, you can dilute the universal antidote worth a total of 70,000 citizen points, but this will take a lot of time and energy.

Thank you for the reminder. Xia Zuo was in a much better mood, holding the wooden box and pendant.

The Temple never treats its own people badly, especially those who dare to bear losses and face the unknown.

Then I'll take the first step. Master Lemon stood up, and the magic sofa behind him disappeared. I heard from Mr. Kristo that you have a balanced light element, and your spiritual ocean will expand very quickly. Hurry. I look forward to meeting you in the tower. The study of spells and energy also requires hard work and concentration.

Thank you for your compliment, Master. I will keep it up. Xia Zuo sent the other party to the door.

After Master Lemon left, he packed up the empty bottles, wiped away the last trace of sadness in his heart, and then left here.
