Texas, in the basement of a ranch estate......

"Ding-dong......"

Chen Ze, who was sitting in the Gathering Magic Array for cultivation, heard this bell, instantly opened his eyes, stood up and walked into the elevator.

"The host ......"

Walking out of the elevator, as soon as Chen Ze came to the hall on the first floor of the manor, Marcuri hurriedly ran to him, pointed behind him and said, "I have shipped all the goods back this month." ”

"Hmm. ”

Chen Ze glanced at the hundreds of wooden boxes piled up in the hall, nodded his head and said, "Okay, you go and get busy." ”

Watching Marcuri go out and walk away, Chen Zecai slowly walked to the front of the pile of boxes.

With a slight wave of his hand, a wooden box on the top fell in front of him with a "clang", and after Chen Ze opened the box, it was full of crystals of different colors.

"A box contains a hundred kilograms of natural crystals, and this time a full twenty tons of crystals were transported. ”

Chen Ze glanced at the weight mark of 100KG on each box, and smiled very satisfied, and then his spiritual power mixed with magic quickly turned into invisible tentacles, laying out all the boxes in the open space of the hall, and opening each box at the same time.

More than ten minutes later, all the magic stones containing magic power in nearly twenty tons of natural crystals were selected by Chen Ze and stored in the basement through the elevator.

"Nearly two million magic stones......"

In the basement, looking at the mountains of magic stones in front of him, Chen Ze couldn't help but smile a little more.

Nearly five months have passed since the dismissal of the eight vampire ancestors, and just last month, Chen Ze contacted several ancestors through the soul brand and learned about their current development.

Because of Chen Ze's previous instructions, they only secretly expanded their own ethnic groups in major cities, and did not develop in a big way, but their ethnic groups have also expanded slightly in the past few months, and they have also transformed several second-generation descendants.

And some second-generation vampires have even formed vampire families due to their large family members, and many third-generation or even fourth-generation vampires have been born.

These magic stones were gathered at the Eight Great Ancestors through their hands, and then Chen Ze sent Makuri to transport them to the manor several times.

"The development path of the vampire race is indeed the best way for me to indirectly control the upper class of various countries...... It seems that the decision I made before was at least not wrong. ”

The corners of Chen Ze's mouth rose, the rapid development of the vampire race was a matter of course for him to expect, but ...... Some of what actually happened was not as perfect as he thought.

When he set up the vampire ancestors to inherit infectious genes, he had speculated that the vampires' power would gradually decay with each successive generation.

The ancestor-level vampire is about five to ten times the length of the great knight, which has been confirmed by Chen Ze, and there is no error.

However, the subsequent second, third, and even later generations of vampire descendants, the degree of attenuation of their strength far exceeded Chen Ze's expectations.

He had examined the descendants of the second generation, and found that their physical fitness was only comparable to that of humans who had just joined the Grand Knight, and not much different from Marcuri a few months earlier.

The third and fourth generations of vampires can only be equated with official knights.

Through this test, Chen Ze made a simple calculation, and the result was that by the seventh generation, vampires were almost no different from normal humans.

By this time, these descendants could hardly even be called vampires anymore.

This result made Chen Ze a little difficult to accept, because in his imagination, vampires would not be completely reduced to mortals until ten generations later, but now they were four generations earlier.

However, although Chen Ze was disappointed in this aspect, fortunately it was ...... There are no problems with the longevity genes maintained by the Life Inscription.

Before the vampires developed to the seventh generation and became mortals, the second to sixth generations of vampires should be able to live for about six or seven hundred years by absorbing the life force of humans, as for the eight ancestors who Chen Ze personally transformed......

All of them have a lifespan of 1,000 years.

"But 1,000 years of life is a limit, but it's also a limit. ”

Chen Ze knew very well that even if he modified and optimized the genetic template of vampires again, their lifespan would never break through this upper limit, because ......

Their ordinary souls limit the apex of lifespan.

When transforming vampires, Chen Ze knew that he did not have the power and conditions to shape and strengthen the soul, so he did not use his hands and feet on the souls of the eight ancestors, and because of this, vampires could only be regarded as a "pseudo-extraordinary" race in his eyes.

Only when both the soul and the body make a leap together can it be possible to attain eternal life in a relative sense.

Even the stage of the wizard apprenticeship that Chen Ze is in now can only be called extraordinary, no matter how much the quantified and strengthened soul changes, it can't cause a real qualitative change, and the lifespan can reach more than a thousand years at most.

Achieve eternal life, even in a relative sense...... He still has a long way to go.

However, now, the aspect of longevity is not something that Chen Ze needs to worry about, and what he is most concerned about now is undoubtedly when his wizarding path will be able to go further.

To advance to an intermediate wizard apprentice, you need to smelt a complete sequence of elemental inscriptions, and to go to the next level, breaking through to a senior wizard apprentice requires building all the elemental inscriptions of all sequences, and then ......

The inscriptions of each elemental sequence are all smelted, and finally completely fused into the original essence element.

There are seven major sequences of elemental inscriptions, but the number of elemental inscriptions in each sequence varies, ranging from dozens to dozens, and some even consist of only a few elemental inscriptions.

At first glance, these seven sequences seem to be somewhat similar to the seven main families and seven secondary families classified on the periodic table, but after Chen Ze understood it, he realized that the two were not the same thing at all.

Most of the elements of the seven main and seven sub-families on the periodic table on the earth are composed of some elements with similar characteristics, and in the seven major sequences classified in the wizarding civilization, the characteristics of some elements are not only not similar, but even diametrically opposed.

What was the purpose of the sorcerers in constructing the elemental inscriptions?

A single elemental inscription is only a basic manifestation of some rule or some cosmic force, and the sequence is only a further step, until finally all the elemental inscriptions are completely integrated and grouped into one to form the most primitive essential element, and this ......

It is the true embodiment of the material rules and power of heaven and earth or the universe!

It is also the most crucial step in the promotion of a senior wizard apprentice!

"Nearly two million magic stones per month are far more than I need to construct inscriptions, and I don't have to worry about magic stone resources anymore. ”

Chen Ze looked at the pile of magic stones in front of him, and was very sure in his heart, "At the current rate, in more than a year at most, the elemental inscriptions should be able to be fully constructed, and it is no longer far for me to further become a high-level wizard apprentice." ”
