【 Slot 1: Great Evil Pill, can greatly enhance character soul strength, requires 2 Demonic Path points 】
【 Note: An evil pill from Medicine Master Valley. Compared to the Small Evil Pill, the Great Evil Pill is a step up in both effectiveness and toxicity. Can you hear the cries of the wronged souls within the pill? 】
【 Slot 2: Animal Creation Technique, requires 1 Demonic Path point 】
【 Note: A malicious technique from the Animal Path. Disciples of the Animal Path often pose as herdsmen and sell cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and other animals on the street.
Unsuspecting commoners buy the livestock, take them home to gut and fry, only to be horrified to find human fingers and bones floating in the oil…
Have you ever heard the mournful cries of the livestock in the butcher shop?
Perhaps it was your wife or children crying out for help…】
【 Slot 3: Advancement Card, requires 1 Demonic Path point 】
【 Note: A special item from the game system. Using this item can raise any currently mastered Demonic Cultivation skill by one level, limited to skills LV.4 and below 】
These three items are almost all quite useful!
The Great Evil Pill goes without saying, it's an item that increases spiritual power, but what interested Ivan more were the latter two items.
Animal Creation Technique is a brand new Demonic Cultivation skill, which is undoubtedly a great supplement for Ivan, whose current methods are somewhat lacking.
The Advancement Card, on the other hand, is a special item from the game panel that can instantly raise a Demonic Cultivation skill of not high level by one level.
Considering that he still had a Small Evil Pill that he hadn't taken or digested, this series of pills couldn't be considered urgently needed. After careful consideration, Ivan chose to exchange for the items in the latter two slots.
Animal Creation Technique!
Advancement Card!
Suddenly, a vast amount of information surged into his mind, covering the human body's muscles and structures, the myriad forms, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, skin, fur, bones, and marrow…
Only by first understanding every inch of flesh and blood of the transformed object could this Animal Creation Technique be performed smoothly and perfectly!
After a long time, Ivan finally recovered from this complex knowledge inheritance. A complete Animal Creation Technique had appeared in his mind.
As for the 【Advancement Card】, after thinking about it, Ivan decided to store it in the panel warehouse for now and use it later when he had decided which Demonic Cultivation skill to upgrade.
After exiting the 【Magic Cave Bazaar】 interface, Ivan opened his eyes, spread out his palm, and at some point, a white, smooth jade bottle appeared in his hand.
Inside the jade bottle, there was a faint sound like a rolling head. This should be the Small Evil Pill that could enhance soul strength.
Ivan picked up the jade bottle and poured out the Small Evil Pill. The pill was as black as ink, and its pattern vaguely resembled a human head. It rolled in Ivan's palm, occasionally emitting muffled curses.
This pill looks a bit too creepy…
Ivan pinched the pill with its extremely poor appearance, hesitated for a moment, but still chose to endure the discomfort and swallow it.
The moment he tilted his head back and swallowed it, Ivan felt as if he had swallowed a ball of pitch-black flame. This flame shot straight up his spine from his stomach, making his bone marrow boil.
Ivan could even hear the horrifying shrieks the pill emitted within his abdomen.
“Burn you to death… burn you to death…”
“Why wasn't it you who died!”
Why was it me who was refined into a pill… not you!”
“Please, great immortal, don't eat me, I have elderly parents above and young children below…”
Countless people's mournful screams echoed in Ivan's mind, intertwined with the intense physical pain.
This pain far exceeded Ivan's expectations…
Why the hell didn't the manual say this thing was so painful!!
He didn't know how long passed, Ivan's consciousness even became a little blurry, and only then did he feel that the waves of malicious curses within his body had completely disappeared.
The effect of the pill was over.
Waves of exhaustion washed over him. Ivan controlled the urge to lie down and opened his personal panel.
As expected, Ivan's spiritual power had grown from 11.8 to 14.6!
Ivan tried to activate his spiritual power. Both its intensity and coverage area had increased by about thirty percent, which matched the data provided by the panel quite well.
This increase was already quite exaggerated. Without this Small Evil Pill, Ivan would need at least a full year of meditation practice to raise his spiritual power to its current strength.
Based on the increase in spiritual power, Ivan made a rough estimate: a Wizard who had just entered the One-Ring realm had spiritual power of about 10 points.
And if he wanted to advance to Two-Ring Wizard, his spiritual power needed to reach at least 20 points.
Ivan turned his gaze towards the Great Evil Pill in the 【Magic Cave Bazaar】 that required 2 Demonic Path points.
A single Small Evil Pill was this potent, how incredible would the Great Evil Pill be, with even stronger effects and toxicity?
However, recalling the pain he had just experienced, Ivan suddenly felt a chill.
This series of pills might have side effects other than pain, so taking them cautiously was the best choice.
A surge in spiritual power, new Demonic Cultivation skills… 4 Demonic Path points exchanged for an all-round improvement in Ivan's strength.
As for what he needed to do in the coming period, Ivan also silently listed a series of plans in his mind.
Currently, the most important thing was to digest and master this series of gains.
The side effect of the spiritual power surge was obvious. Ivan's head was faintly throbbing, like a strange limb had grown, requiring time to adapt. The new Demonic Cultivation skill Animal Creation Technique also needed practical practice to be used proficiently.
Secondly, Ivan also needed to prepare for retaliation from the Energy Shaping School.
Having lost so much face on the Horton Wizard Academy enrollment day, the Wizards of the Energy Shaping School certainly wouldn't swallow this insult.
He just didn't know where these Wizards' retaliation would come from, so he could only deal with it as it came.
Finally, it was time to figure out how to deal with the academy's exploitative contract.
Originally, Ivan had prepared for the worst, including refining Zombies and increasing spiritual power… all of these were preparations for running away.
However, with the appearance of "Corpse Refining Art" and Animal Creation Technique, Ivan gradually had some vague ideas in his mind.
Without a doubt, Animal Creation Technique and "Corpse Refining Art" were products from another world.
Although they came from different worlds, Animal Creation Technique and "Corpse Refining Art" were essentially the same as Wizard spells, both being extraordinary means of mobilizing energy, reading and writing rules, and influencing reality.
So, could "Corpse Refining Art" and Animal Creation Technique be treated as spells Ivan created himself and published as Wizard papers?
The answer needed to be verified by Ivan through experiments.
If Ivan's idea could be realized… the benefits would be revolutionary, enough to change the trajectory of his entire Wizard career.
In the world of Wizards, the innovation and improvement of spells, as well as the exploration of the deep mysteries of matter, are eternal pursuits. To achieve something in these two areas, fame, wealth, power… everything would be within reach!
Matthew, the rising star of the Energy Shaping School, became a Wizard genius heavily supported by the Energy Shaping School just by improving a One-Ring spell, receiving all sorts of resources, taking whatever he wanted.
As for creating one's own spells… that was even more the exclusive domain of High-level Wizards. Only those Wizards with extraordinary talent and brilliance were qualified to step into the field of self-created spells.
The Horton Port Wizard Journal published the major events in the Wizard world each month, and news of a certain Wizard creating their own spell often occupied the headlines of the month!
As for whether a self-created spell would be leaked due to the public publication of a paper and then learned by other Wizards to use against oneself, the Wizard academic community already had corresponding solutions.
Not all Wizards were willing to share their self-created spells.
Therefore, decades ago, the Wizard Council passed an academic resolution, stating that when publishing Wizard papers involving spell innovation, one could choose between two types: "Spell Model Open Source" and "Spell Model Closed Source."
Ivan could completely submit a closed-source paper to a Wizard academic journal.
In the paper, he only needed to publish superficial information such as the spell's effect and practical combat data, while keeping the core structure, construction principles, and other key information of the spell firmly hidden and not displayed in the paper.
Although such papers would have much lower benefits, most Wizards still chose to set their self-created spells to a closed-source spell model state.
For the next period, Ivan needed to both attempt to complete a Wizard paper based on Animal Creation Technique or "Corpse Refining Art" and continue preparing for a potential escape.
Both must be taken into account to ensure foolproof security.
Just as Ivan was wholeheartedly immersed in the research for his Wizard paper, a sudden piece of news disrupted his original plan.
The retaliation from the Energy Shaping School came faster and was more unexpected than he had anticipated.
