Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 58: A Qualitative Leap (Part 2)

Next to the big pool in the secret valley, Xiu Yi stood with his eyes closed.

"Spirit of water! Listen to my call, and use your majesty to show your proud power—the water demon summons."

As Xiu Yi said the mantra, the water element fluctuated in the air like ripples in the water, floating and condensing invisibly, and a huge water demon image beside the pool gradually took shape.

In addition to the two characteristics of the most branched trees and the ability to defend against multi-system spells, water spells also have a distinctive feature that they have more summoning spells.

What Xiuyi is doing at this moment is the summoning of the water demon in the third-level spell of the water system.

Brian Buckler put back on his red cloak, carried a large sword on his back, and was standing by to watch Huey cast a spell.

His brows were furrowed.

After thinking about it, he said to Xiu Yi, "How long can it last?"

"Very short." Huey replied. With a wave of his hand, the water demon turned into a spray of water and dispersed. "I have never been exposed to water spells before. Although I have the power of Bogle, all spells must be learned from the low-level. The third-level spells are the upper limit of the water spells I can use at present."

"It really is." Buckler rubbed his chin and whispered, "Hui, do you feel that what you have learned is too complicated?"

"Yes." Xiuyi replied seriously: "This is exactly what I am troubled about now. Lilith recommended you to me. She thinks that although you are not a magician, you can also bring me good help. I need some good advice on the issue of developing myself."

"I thought you'd always been a man of your own."

Xiu Yi smiled bitterly: "All assertiveness often comes from the fact that we don't have too many choices. The more power we have to choose about things, the more blurred and confused our eyes will be, and we often feel at a loss. It is good for us to listen to other people's opinions at this time."

"Very good." Brian Buckler laughed loudly: "Then Xiuyi, you now have the five abilities of wind, soul, space, undead and water. In the future, you may be able to deprive you of fire, nature and other spell abilities. But you can't practice so many kinds of spells at the same time. The abilities you deprive can only allow you to have enough magic power, but you can't really exert their power. If you continue like this, maybe you will become a person who can use some spells, but nothing. A high-magic and low-energy mage who can really do it."

"That's what I'm worried about." Huey also sighed.

His biggest problem now is that after inheriting and depriving the power of Ablit and Leah Bogle, the energy of space and water spells in his body has been greatly enhanced. His magic shunt conduit is the thickest in these two aspects, and the spells that can be released are also the most powerful, but he lacks enough foundation to use them.

In contrast, his wind and soul foundations are much more solid, but the magic conduit restricts him from being able to use advanced spells for the time being. He still needs to break through the original obstacles step by step to improve himself.

This made him have contradictory choices on which aspect of his ability he should give priority to improving, and for a while he himself didn't know what to do.

"Hui, in this world, no one has ever had such good luck as you, allowing you to have the ability to divert magic power from the same source." Since Buckler's guidance is needed, it is impossible for Xiuyi to hide this secret anymore, and as time goes by, the relationship between Xiuyi and the Black Locust Town gang has gradually deepened. If it was a relationship of mutual use before, then now, there are finally some irrational factors between them. Such irrational factors are often more decisive than interests.

Buckler continued to say at this moment: "But no matter how good your luck is, you need to be able to grasp it yourself. The main advantage brought by the diversion of magic power is that you can practice multiple spells at the same time without worrying about the problem of magic power backlash. However, from the perspective of using magic and strengthening yourself, this kind of luck actually does not have much effect. On the contrary, it even misleads you and makes you embark on the road of magic cultivation that is miscellaneous but not refined. This is a big taboo."

"You're right." Xiu Yi already had a deep understanding of this point. It is precisely because of his own unique magic power structure that he can learn one spell after another without any scruples. He thought it was a matter of displaying his talent, but the result made him gradually deviate from the correct path of cultivation. This is like the story of waiting for a rabbit, because of the directional mistakes in behavior caused by small gains, you lose more.

The cultivation path of self-exploration makes him form his own characteristics, but at the same time, there will inevitably be signs of detours, even if he is a smart genius, this situation will inevitably occur. Fortunately, Xiu Yi himself realized this.

"So, Bryan, what do you think I should do next? I also know that I should focus on one type of spell and secondary attack on another type of spell, but now I have too many choices, but I don't know how to do it."

"What's your talent?" Buckler asked.

"Wind, but my soul talent has also improved."

"Then the main attack is the wind element, and the secondary attack is the soul element." Buckler said firmly.

"But my water-type magic conduit has reached level five. I believe that as long as I am given enough time, I can master all the water-type spells. There is no doubt that this is much faster than concentrating on practicing wind-type spells."

"But your water system ability will still be at level five." Buckler patted Xiu Yi on the shoulder and said, "Hui Yi, I know that you want to become stronger quickly, but the strength of the Lance Empire cannot be easily dealt with after you have mastered more advanced spells. What you can really compete with this country is your mind, not your personal combat power. So there is no need for you to rush to improve yourself in a short time. You are still young, and there is no need to block the road to future strength for temporary pleasure. .”

Xiuyi was silent for a while, thought for a while, nodded and said, "You're right, Brian, but I have three memory gems in my hand now, all of which can only record water spells, and I don't want to waste them. You know that human beings are always greedy, and we are always eager to use every available resource in our hands instead of letting it sit idle."

"On this issue, I don't think you need to worry. You can completely cooperate with the memory gem in your hand to have a special mastery of water spells."

Xiu Yi froze: "You mean..."

"I remember that there is a second-level spell in blood spells called Bloodlight Escape, which is a very practical combat spell. It can complete a short-distance space transformation with very little mana, just like your Void Slash. The reason why it is only second-level is that the casting time of this magic is too long and it is not practical in battle, but with memory gems, it can make up for this shortcoming very well. Leo Bogle is an idiot. In fact, most magicians are idiots in battle. They always like to use different spells to deal with the enemy , seldom use the same spell repeatedly. But for samurai, the frequent use of simple and easy-to-use repeated moves in battle is the most normal thing. If you can get out of the narrow one-sided thinking mode of magicians in battle, you will find that you can actually solve this problem very easily." Buckler blinked at Xiuyi: "No one stipulates that memory gems must record different spells every time, right?"

"Damn it." Xiu Yi exclaimed excitedly: "Why didn't I think of this. You are right, in the battle with Bogle, it was the escape of blood

The guy dodged one of my effective attacks. But neither I nor Bogle realized the usefulness of this spell! It's only a 2nd level spell and it didn't take me too long to master it. "

"That's right. You don't need to spend too much energy on water spells. Since you have three memory gems, as long as you master a few practical magics, it is enough to record them. Warriors never need to be tricky in battle, and so can magic." Buckler said with a smile.

"That's true." Hugh said gratefully.

"It's not just that, Xiuyi answered me, what do you think is your strongest combat ability at present?" Buckler asked suddenly.

Xiu Yi froze for a moment, then shook her head: "There is no strongest one, maybe there will be one in the future."

"No." Buckler said with certainty: "You have, but you have neglected it. Don't forget that you are an alchemist, this is your job, and it is your most powerful ability. Think carefully about what you really rely on in all the battles you have experienced. If you don't have your alchemy, do you think you can kill Ablit, kill the demon rat, and kill people like Leo Bogle just by relying on your pets and your low-level spells and combat abilities? To be honest, without alchemy, you You are nothing, you are a complete weakling!" Speaking of this, Buckle's voice suddenly became louder, echoing over the valley like a muffled thunder.

Xiu Yi stared blankly at Buckler, who looked very serious.

At that moment, countless scenes of his own battles appeared in his mind.

In the Lanya Grand Theater, he used the magic circle to cooperate with himself to kill Ablit. Without the space energy confinement circle made by Electra, he would have died under Ablit's energy storm long ago.

Outside the valley, when the demon rat was lurking underground, it was alchemy that forced the cunning guy out and made it unable to use earth spells, blocking half of its spell ability.

In Royo City, it was also alchemy that allowed Bogle to be teleported to the valley by himself, forming a one-on-one situation. The vajra puppets and undead demon rats also made by alchemy gave him a powerful fighting strength.

Alchemy, this is his strongest strength.

His true profession is an alchemist, not a magician. And he obviously forgot about that.

"But alchemy is not suitable for use in an unprepared combat state."

"Then you change the situation!"

change this situation? Xiu Yi was shocked.

Yes, who said alchemy can only be used with preparation? Why can't it be changed? Isn't he the best at doing things that others can't do? What made me stick to traditional thinking?

Damn it! Xiu Yi scolded herself secretly.

Concentrating on the confrontation with the empire made him ignore many things.

Buckler continued: "Hui, do you understand now? Your alchemy is your strongest point. But you didn't combine your combat ability with your alchemy. You simply used them both. In the past, no alchemist was proficient in magic, so no one tried to combine magic with alchemy. But you told me that Electra was a magician, so he succeeded and became the greatest alchemist in the world. Now you are also a magician, why? You can't do everything Electra did? So..."

"So my magic training should serve my alchemy and develop my own fighting characteristics." Xiu Yi blurted out.

Buckler laughed: "You finally see yourself clearly, right? Yes, Huey, let your magic power serve your alchemy. That is the most suitable choice for you, just like Electra."

"Yes, just like Electra." Huey murmured.

At that moment, he suddenly realized something in his heart.

Buckler's reminder made Xiu Yi finally establish her own direction in magic cultivation.

All along, his alchemy ability has served magic cultivation. He practiced soul magic by making flesh and blood puppets, and absorbed space magic energy through the energy confinement circle, but he never thought about how to apply magic to alchemy.

Electra has never disclosed this secret, so he has no way to study it.

But at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

He remembered the puppet assistant's evaluation of himself: Electra is the kind of genius who uses all his wisdom to develop unknown products, and he is a genius who does his best to improve the capabilities of known products.

The reason why he couldn't understand Electra's achievements was because he was not the same kind of person as the legendary great alchemist. Although they have the same endowments, due to their different personalities and interests, they are destined to take different development routes.

Since you can't understand how Electra uses magic to develop new alchemy techniques, then simply don't understand or study, but directly use your energy on the ability development of known alchemy products. Since Electra can use magic to help him invent hundreds of alchemy products, Xiu Yi directly endows alchemy products with more abilities to maximize their value.

And to do this, the best way is - auxiliary magic.

When he figured this out, he immediately had a new understanding and figured out what he should do. Xiu Yi no longer focused on the rapid improvement of her own ability, and practiced multiple spells at the same time. He began to focus on the cultivation of his innate magic and auxiliary magic.

In an era of abundant resources, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate way to manufacture alchemy products in large quantities.

In an era of scarce resources, it is more in line with the needs of the times to do everything possible to increase the use value of a certain alchemical product.

If the alchemy puppets used to conquer the mainland in the form of legions, relying on their unified command and absolute obedience; then the puppets and other alchemy products in Xiuyi's hands will reinterpret the meaning of alchemists' existence and shock the world with a new look.

He finally really embarked on the alchemy path of the former Electra - using magic to promote alchemy.

———————————

three days later.

In the secret valley of Electra.

Xiu Yi stood solemnly.

Behind him, the five King Kong puppets that had been completely restored stood silently.

"Wind spirit who wanders freely and unfettered, listen to my narration, and grant me the ability to control the wind—the body of the wind spirit!"

The whirling wind raised the mundane mist, whizzing out the sound of the wind. Fine bright spots appeared in the air one by one, like starlight and dust scattered around, covering Xiuyi and the puppet behind him.

Numerous starlight dust spots fell on the body of the King Kong puppets, and the light spots connected to each other, forming a blurred light mist around their bodies.

"The fourth form, dashing armor." Xiu Yi swayed in the air with a magical command, and the five Vajra puppets transformed at the same time, densely packed with ferocious spikes growing all over their bodies.

"Spirit of the Wind, All Attacks!"

All the vajra puppets rushed towards a mountain-like boulder in the distance at the same time, with the momentum of a tiger and the speed of lightning.

With the blessing of the spirit of the wind, their speed is faster than before, and it is more difficult to resist.

"Wind Strengthening!" Xiu Yi's voice came again.

The mist of light that shrouded the Vajra puppet instantly formed a faint mask.

"Bang!" The boulder was smashed into a sky full of powder by the powerful impact.

Five vajra puppets walked out of the dust and smoke, with ferocious steel thorns, but no damage at all.

"Very good." Bakler strode forward from a distance: "Is this the effect of the spirit of the wind and the strengthening of the wind? Your vajra puppet is much stronger."

"The ability I just mastered, I'm not very proficient in using it yet." Xiu Yi said lightly.

With Buckler's awakening, Xiu Yi was practicing with all her strength in the wind element and auxiliary magic. Advancement of low-level spells is easier than advanced ones. Xiu Yi has been a second-level wind mage for a while, and now he has enough magic power to support him. He has laid the foundation for advancement in all aspects, so it only took three days to break through the second-level wind mage and become a third-level wind mage.

After the breakthrough, the first thing Xiuyi did was to immediately try to master the third-level wind auxiliary spell.

There is only one kind of auxiliary spell of the third-level wind system, which is the wind spirit body protection.

By attaching a large number of wind elements to the subject, multiple effects can be achieved according to the instructions, including wind spirit and wind strengthening.

Wind Spirit Soaring, a third-level wind spell, the advanced ability of the wind soaring technique, makes the subject have a lighter body and lightning speed.

Wind Strengthening, attaches the power of the wind shield to the subject's appearance, reducing damage.

The biggest feature of wind-type auxiliary spells is that they have a wide range of spells, mainly to enhance their own body, especially good at improving physical movement and attack ability. Therefore, wind mages are usually the most popular auxiliary mages for warriors, and Xiu Yi used this ability on his golem.

"If you don't consider the existence of the undead demon rat and the troll god, your Vajra puppet may already be the most powerful puppet in the world." Buckler said seriously: "Each of them is at least equivalent to a fifth-level fighter. When combined, they are even more powerful and terrifying."

"They can also become stronger." Xiuyi replied: "From Electra's notes, I learned a magic circle called a memory circle. This kind of magic circle can record the magical abilities of some human mages and give them to golems. Unfortunately, this kind of magic circle can only record the alchemist's own spells. For most alchemists, this kind of magic circle doesn't make much sense. But for me, these difficulties are not difficult. I can use this method to greatly improve their combat ability."

As he said that, Xiu Yi waved his hand, and the undead rat appeared in front of Xiu Yi's eyes.

Taking out the soul magic beads and placing them on the demon mouse, Xiu Yi said: "As for it, the undead demon mouse already has the highest speed, what it needs is not the lightness of the wind, but the fury of the thunder."

"Thunder from all directions!" Xiu Yi suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared wildly.

With one hand in the air, a thunderbolt flashed in the clear blue sky, like a fire snake, dancing wildly, from the sky to Xiuyi's palm.

"Attachment!" Xiu Yi casually grabbed the electric light and shot it at the metal skeleton of the undead demon mouse. An auroral current flowed through the demon mouse's body. At this moment, the strange blue skeleton shone brightly. Countless thunderbolts stimulated it like a strong polar light, and the person who was so excited couldn't open his eyes.

"Magnetic!" The demon rat's body made an ugly hiss like metal intertwining.

Four Lightning, one of the auxiliary spells of the water-type thunder branch, makes the subject's body full of strong lightning, increasing the power of violent attack, and automatically giving the opponent the power of lightning to counterattack when receiving the opponent's attack.

Looking at the strange changes of this demon mouse, Brian Buckler's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Bryan, are you interested in fighting my puppet? In order for it to withstand the blessing of the Lightning from All Directions, I spent a lot of effort to transform it. Now, I believe that even if I don't borrow my Void Slash, it can defeat Cahill back then. I really want to know if you, a seventh-level warrior, can defeat my Demon Mouse."

"Then try it!" Buckler roared, drew out the big sword behind him, and slashed fiercely at the demon mouse...

—————————————————

A big battle is over.

Buckler sat on the ground powerlessly.

His body was covered with scars, which were left by the sharp claws of the undead monster mouse, and there were also burning injuries caused by the lightning from all directions.

While drinking the healing potion, Buckler shook his head in admiration: "I didn't expect the violent power of the Thunder from Four Directions to be more effective on demon rats than it is on humans."

"Anyway, it still hasn't been able to beat you." Not far away, the undead demon rat, which was almost torn apart by Buckle's sword, lay on the ground and was being repaired by Xiu Yi.

"But that's because your spell ability is not enough. When you become stronger and have more and better auxiliary spells, maybe your golem will soon be able to defeat a more powerful warrior." Buckler replied seriously.

"That's for sure." Xiu Yi was full of confidence.

Looking at Xiu Yi's confident expression, Buckle suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Her temporary proposal brought Xiu Yi a brand new breakthrough. With his current technology, resources, as well as his talent and ingenuity, in the near future, Hugh Iglell is bound to have a terrifying troll army.

Before this, there had never been a kind of golem that could match a warrior above level five, and in a one-on-one duel, no golem could beat a level four warrior.

And now, each of the puppets that Xiu Yi owns is extremely powerful. A diamond puppet can easily defeat a fifth-level fighter, and an undead demon mouse can compete with a seventh-level peak fighter.

When Xiu Yi has a sufficient number of powerful puppets, even Sanctuary will be defeated in front of them.

What I unintentionally opened is Pandora's magic box, and the owner of the magic box is frantically launching revenge on the empire.

At that moment, Buckler couldn't imagine.

He didn't dare to imagine what Xiu Yi would bring to this world in the days to come.

But there was one thing he had already seen.

At that moment, he murmured:

"Hugh Igles, you are making human warriors withdraw from the stage of history." Buckler sighed.

"That came from your guidance." Huey bowed deeply to Buckler. This time, he sincerely thanked the bandit leader from Locust Town. It is his words that can make a qualitative leap in his strength in a short period of time. "Then next, I still need you to continue to help me in another aspect."
