Chapter 261 Soul Crystallization, Soul Power Reserves Surge!
Gu Yueyuan said, "These insect food pellets not only have a unique taste, but also contain specific ingredients that can attract insect-eating creatures."
For example, when exploring in the wild, these insect food pellets can be used as special bait to help us catch certain types of monsters more easily.
Or, in an emergency, it could distract the enemy, buying us a precious chance to escape.
Gu Yueyuan added, "The formula for this insect food pellet is the result of my numerous trials and adjustments."
It's more than just a type of food.
Through careful formulation, insect pellets can release a unique aroma.
This smell is almost irresistible to insect-eating creatures.
Furthermore, I added some special ingredients that enable these insect food pellets to enhance the physical condition of the organisms that consume them to some extent.
Although the effect is limited, it's enough to make some low-level magical beasts flock to the insect food pills.
Gu Yueyuan continued, "These insect food pills can also be mixed with some poison or anesthetic."
It might come in handy in your subsequent trial missions.
Even without adding any ulterior motives, if some organisms were to consume these insect food pellets, which are rich in nutrients and energy reserves, over a long period, it would greatly promote their growth and evolution.
Gu Yueyuan looked at the Ark and said, "It's like our second-year student who is a nature druid named Liu Diewu."
She tamed several rare and exotic birds and beasts, all of which greatly enjoyed these insect-fed pellets.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou's eyes flashed with divine light, and he took out the Sealed Bone Bell, which he hadn't used in a long time, from his spatial storage capsule.
In front of Gu Yueyuan, Fangzhou gently shook the sealing bone bell and summoned the pearl bird Gugu, which he had previously traded from Senior Sister Liu Diewu.
As the sealed bone bell chimed softly, the figure of the pearl bird Gugu quietly appeared.
This little creature with its colorful wings was given a new life under the careful care of Senior Sister Willow Butterfly Dance.
At that moment, at the call of the Ark, it landed lightly in his palm.
Fangzhou gently lifted Gugu with his right hand, while his left hand lightly picked up a food pellet and slowly brought it closer to Gugu's curious beak. Gugu's feathers trembled slightly in the breeze, and its body swayed slightly, as if it instinctively sensed the strange energy contained in the food pellet in front of it.
It is a gift that benefits life, a catalyst for growth.
Without a moment's hesitation, Gugu opened its sharp and delicate beak and swallowed the insect food ball without hesitation.
Through the special mental connection established between the sealed bone bell and Gugu, Ark can clearly sense the changes within Gugu's body.
It was an indescribable excitement and satisfaction, a surge of joy and vitality.
He understood that this meant that Gu Yueyuan's insect food pills were not only daily food for the pearl bird Gu Gu, but also a powerful tonic that could significantly enhance its vitality and promote the realization of its potential.
Fang Zhou gently stroked the pearl bird in his hand; its small and delicate figure looked especially endearing in his palm.
His gaze fell on Gu Yueyuan, a hint of expectation flickering in his eyes: "Senior brother, what a coincidence."
I acquired this rare pearl bird from my senior sister, Liu Diewu, and it will become my eyes in the sky.
However, its strength has grown relatively slowly, and it has remained at the intermediate level of an apprentice.
If you have enough bug food pills to help this Pearl Bird evolve to Apprentice-level, I'm willing to trade with you.
The pearl bird seemed to sense its owner's expectations and let out a clear chirp, as if expressing its own determination.
Its round eyes sparkled with a lively light, and its feathers shone with a pearly luster under the light.
The sealed bone bell in Fang Zhou's possession is a rather powerful artifact.
Although it can only seal creatures whose strength does not exceed that of an apprentice at present, under the guidance of Instructor Su Xinyan, he learned that there is a secret in the internal structure of this strange object—a so-called "back door".
Once Ark successfully takes on the part-time alchemist profession, he can try to reforge and upgrade it himself, turning it into a powerful artifact capable of sealing creatures whose strength does not exceed that of an apprentice-level being.
Fang Zhou knew that he was not far from becoming an apprentice.
If he can break through to the Apprentice level within the next month, it will mean that he has won the bet he made with Instructor Su Xinyan.
This not only means that he can obtain the necromancer's exclusive crystal ball that Instructor Su Xinyan used before as a weapon, but more importantly, he can also obtain the alchemist's secondary profession inheritance from Instructor Su Xinyan.
Fang Zhou was full of confidence in his talent, and with the help of the attribute panel, he believed that he could definitely succeed in becoming a part-time alchemist.
Under these circumstances, modifying and upgrading the sealed bone bell is not a difficult task.
Therefore, he naturally hoped that the pearl bird Gugu's strength could keep up with his pace and become his reliable partner in the sky.
Upon hearing Fang Zhou's words, Gu Yueyuan turned his gaze to the exquisite green pearl bird in his hand.
The little bird has bright, lustrous feathers and is incredibly agile. It hops gently in the palm of my hand, like a living emerald.
Gu Yueyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully sensing the fluctuations of the pearl bird's aura, silently estimating its cultivation level.
After a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "I know something about this pearl bird from Liu Diewu."
The pearl bird in your hand is nearing the advanced apprentice level; it only needs one more step to break through.
It shouldn't need too many insect pellets.
As he spoke, Gu Yueyuan took out three bottles of insect food pills from his pocket and placed them on the table.
"These insect food pellets are all I have left."
Since it's useful to you, I'll give it all to you.
They're not worth much, but hopefully they can help you and your pearl bird.
Furthermore, my book of pharmacist training notes also contains the relevant formula for insect food pills.
Based on my estimation, this knowledge should be sufficient to help your pearl bird advance from apprentice to higher rank.
Although Gu Yueyuan usually gives people the impression of being cold and aloof, he is not without human feelings.
He knew that for a genius student like Fang Zhou, it was always beneficial to establish deep relationships as early as possible.
Therefore, he is willing to pay some price to build a good relationship.
After all, Ark's talent and potential are undeniable.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou's face showed gratitude, and he looked at Gu Yueyuan sincerely, saying, "Thank you so much, Senior Brother Gu."
He did not refuse the kindness, but accepted Gu Yueyuan's gift directly.
Gu Yueyuan nodded, handed the resources in his hand to Fang Zhou, and earnestly reminded him: "Junior Brother Fang, I know you have extraordinary talent."
But the apprenticeship stage is the golden period for cultivation.
I hope you can focus more on improving your main career.
"Once you break through to become a Black Iron Rank professional, you can slowly study this alchemist's cultivation manual then."
After thinking for a moment, Gu Yueyuan took out another book from the spatial storage capsule and handed it to Fang Zhou, saying, "By the way, Junior Brother Fang."
This is a comprehensive encyclopedia and compilation of information about highly venomous insect-like monsters.
From what I understand, as a necromancer, the Black Iron-level creatures you summon are mostly undead creatures like zombies, which contain necromantic toxins. Although the biological toxins in insect-like monsters are fundamentally different from the necromantic toxins in zombies, your exceptional comprehension and creativity might allow you to find resonance between these two vastly different toxins, making connections and achieving some unexpected gains.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou's eyes lit up.
He quickly took the information on highly poisonous insects from Gu Yueyuan's hand, glanced through it, and felt a slight surge of joy.
Fang Zhou pondered to himself that although the unknown talent skill originating from the zombie in the attribute panel of the skeleton clone was still in the analysis stage, he was already able to perceive its outline with his keen intuition.
That's a skill closely linked to corruption and poison.
Zombies, these seemingly ordinary undead creatures, seem to have little to offer in terms of anything other than their terrifying putrefactive poison.
But Fangzhou sees this as precisely where its unique value lies.
Because of his corruption, something considered filthy by ordinary people can be transformed into something magical in his hands, becoming the key to controlling life and death.
Looking back, from the skeleton's skeletal weapon skills, Ark has successfully deduced a series of necromancer skeletal skills.
Such as skeletal spears, skeletal wings, and skeletal shields.
Each skill represents a deep exploration and creative application of the power of the skeleton.
Now, he seemed to see a completely new path opening its doors to him.
A skill tree centered on corruption and poison is calling him to explore and develop it.
From this perspective, the information on highly venomous insect-type monsters that Gu Yueyuan is now providing is the icing on the cake.
He might actually be able to draw inferences from this and gain some additional insights.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhou raised his head and pushed all the precious items he had taken out earlier, including the unique frog drum and the mental shock skill book, in front of Gu Yueyuan.
Then, he said solemnly, "I am ashamed to accept Senior Brother Gu's kindness."
Please rest assured, senior brother. If I gain anything from this, I will definitely share it with you.
On Gu Yueyuan's face, which was as cold and aloof as an iceberg, a stiff smile was forced out.
He nodded slightly at the ark, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
"Fangzhou, with your current strength and growth rate, you'll probably be able to break through to the Apprentice level in just a few days, right?"
Breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to the Iron rank should be as simple as eating and drinking.
Then, we can team up to explore the newly opened areas, such as the Beast Mountain Range and Cave 3.
Faced with the sincere goodwill extended by Gu Yueyuan, Fangzhou naturally had no reason to refuse.
He nodded in response and said solemnly, "Okay, Senior Brother Gu."
I look forward to your guidance then.
Gu Yueyuan slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, and his stiff smile seemed to become more natural.
He retrieved the resources he had acquired from Fang Zhou one by one into his spatial storage capsule, and then nodded to Fang Zhou.
"The transaction has been successfully completed. Junior Fang, I won't take up any more of your time."
If you have any questions about the "Mirror of the Heart" or other resources I gave you, please feel free to contact me at any time.
Fang Zhou raised his hand and gave Gu Yueyuan a standard military salute, watching Gu Yueyuan leave the logistics department.
Then, he gripped the Mirror of the Heart tightly in his hand, his eyes sparkling with an irrepressible joy.
This excitement stemmed not only from the magical function of the Mirror of the Heart itself, but also from an exciting message that appeared on his attribute panel after he truly became the owner of this treasure.
"Soul crystals have been detected that can be absorbed and converted into a corresponding amount of soul power. Begin absorption?"
This news stirred up a storm in Fangzhou's heart.
Soul Crystallization, a term he had never heard of before, could actually be transformed into soul power!
Ark had never received such a prompt from the attribute panel before, which made him puzzled.
However, he quickly realized what was happening.
Clearly, this Mirror of the Heart, which was traded from Gu Yueyuan, contains a mysterious resource called "Soul Crystal".
Regardless of where these crystals came from, the most important thing now is to absorb them using the power of the attribute panel in order to better enhance one's strength.
Without hesitation, Ark issued the order.
"Begin absorption."
Under his focused perception, the Mirror of the Heart in his hand trembled slightly as the attribute panel operated.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful and pure soul force surged forth from it, like an invisible torrent, and flowed into his body.
At the same time, Ark could clearly see that the amount of soul power stored on the attribute panel was increasing at an astonishing rate.
After a while, the unusual activity on the surface of the Mirror of the Heart gradually subsided.
The amount of Soul Power stored in the attribute panel also increased significantly, quickly rising by more than 100 points.
Fangzhou examined his attribute panel with delight, his joy beyond words.
Unexpectedly, the so-called soul crystal hidden in the Mirror of the Heart brought such a great benefit to soul power.
Then Fangzhou unconsciously fell into deep thought.
He had never experienced this method of gaining soul power by absorbing soul crystals before.
In the past, Ark had long been familiar with the two traditional ways of obtaining soul power.
The first is to shed blood on the battlefield, personally ending those lives with souls, and extracting the essence of their souls from their last breath.
Both his true form and his clones can do it.
The second method is to establish an extraordinary connection with those loyal necromancer apostles through meditation.
The results of their practice of the Skeleton King Meditation Technique were transformed into a vast spiritual power, like a trickle flowing into the ocean.
