Master Merlin looked at these dragonborn materials that Ji Xun took out, his expression was very real, and he did not hide his emotion and expectation.

He looked at Ji Xun, and did not hesitate to praise, and his tone was full of emotion: "You kid really brought me a big surprise." But then again, the Old World is indeed a great place to be. Even if I wanted these materials before, I couldn't find them anywhere."

These Dragonborn materials are enough for him to complete too many experimental projects.

Not to mention its value, its research significance is even immeasurable for the entire card master community.

“.”

Ji Xun listened and smiled modestly.

This master has an odd temper in the eyes of outsiders.

In fact, those guys dig out their minds and think about it, and they don't use it in the right place.

As everyone knows, this kind of highly legendary person, who really cares about things in his eyes, is no longer the world's power, money, and wealth, and will easily accept favors.

Although Ji Xun also has the intention of asking him to help, his subjective will is not so utilitarian.

It is purely because I feel that a treasure of this grade [Red Dragon's Blood] is meaningful only if it is in the hands of someone valuable.

If you send it, you will send it.

Even if there is no return.

A master of Master Merlin's level can naturally easily perceive that kind of thought, which is why he gives such a friendly attitude.

In that pile of containment cards, elemental, flesh, mystery, spiritual.

All four major materials are available.

Master Merlin looked at it and happily agreed: "I will help you refine your career card." If the finished product is finished, the effect will be very ideal. ”

As he spoke, he also looked at Ji Xun, "Of course, if you don't mind testing your physical attributes, maybe the increase in the career card will be more accurate." ”

Ji Xun naturally had no opinion when he heard this, and said, "Thank you, master." ”

As for exposing privacy?

Don't think about it at all.

Even if it was [JOKER], Ji Xun felt that this master had already guessed that the demon mark he fused was different.

After all, the three levels of their own are different, and the fused career cards are all different, which can already explain a lot of problems.

Demon marks are something special, and you can't use them if you don't grab them.

On the contrary, for this kind of legendary card maker, it is more meaningful to see a living "fusion sample".

With that, Master Merlin turned his head and tinkered beside the instrument.

Ji Xun also sat on the instrument that specialized in testing physical attributes.

The last time I saw Dong Qi, I used these instruments.

He also familiarly followed the usage in his memory, connecting those wiring, intubation, helmet, and so on to himself.

Master Merlin saw that Ji Xun could solve it by himself, and he also felt that he had saved a lot of effort and was in a better mood.

While putting the dragon's blood into a more stable petri dish, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart after all, and said more: "By the way, do you know what this drop of dragon blood you brought me means?" ”

Ji Xun casually guessed: "It means that you can spy on the secrets of the bloodline genes of some high-level creatures?" ”

Hearing this, Master Merlin glanced sideways and said, "Your kid's knowledge is very good." Most people will only think that this is epic material, and will not see its research value. ”

“.”

Ji Xun smiled and said nothing.

The genetic technology of the previous life was not weak.

It's normal for him to have this understanding.

On the contrary, this kind of steampunk-level magic card master world, the one in front of him has this idea, which is really "alternative".

At this moment, Master Merlin's eyes full of wisdom flashed with wisdom, and he said meaningfully: "And not only that. This means that I may have found the most important secret of the card master's stable entry into the seventh order without distortion. ”

"Seventh Order?"

Hearing this, Ji Xun was really surprised.

That's the realm above the legend?

As soon as his mind turned, he couldn't think of what these dragonborn materials had to do with the Breakthrough Legend.

But he also thought of an unsolved mystery in the card master world.

This world card master is indeed stuck at the sixth order, and the legendary realm is already at the peak.

No!

To be precise, the card master of this era.

There are all kinds of indications that the ancient card masters in the past had super-level powerhouses that were truly comparable to the gods.

So when he heard this, Ji Xun's heart was instantly full of curiosity.

That is, why is the current card master trapped in the sixth order?

There are not many people in the world who can answer this question.

But the legend in front of him is definitely qualified.

Before he could think about it, Master Merlin explained, "Yes. There are countless seniors who are trapped on the sixth-order bottleneck, and even legendary card masters have tried. But without exception, they all ended up being distorted. ”

Ji Xun looked like he was waiting for the next inquisitive expression, and asked one after another, "100% distorted?" Why? Is it because the body can't withstand the extraordinary properties? ”

After the sixth-order breakthrough, will it be 100% distorted?

His instincts told him that it might not be a matter of physical tolerance.

Eighty percent is that there is a problem with an unknown link.

"Yes, 100% distorted."

Master Merlin said in a regretful tone: "Because the folk don't have any inheritance above the legend at all, they can only blindly explore." This kind of exploration is like opening up the wasteland, and it has also led to the aberration and death of countless talented ancestors when they explored unknown territories. ”

“.”

When Ji Xun heard this, he also frowned and fell into thought.

What causes this?

Talking about this topic, Master Merlin said with a rare anger in his tone, and said, "And as far as I know, the Orlan royal family actually has some inheritance about the 'super rank'. But those guys never thought of making those things public for the sake of their own stability. ”

Saying that, this wise man, who had already looked down on everything, was full of anger in his tone: "This is also the most important reason why the Orlan royal family has ruled the Eastern Continent for more than two thousand years, and the Kashi civilization has not made the slightest progress, but has regressed more and more. Those selfish Augustan royal families, who only thought about the stability of their royal power and never thought about the future of civilization, are simply a group of historical sinners! ”

“.”

When Ji Xun heard this, he also understood why the Orlan royal family was overthrown by a coup.

That kind of feudal lord kingship is indeed a stumbling block that affects social progress.

This is a problem that has existed for more than 2,000 years and has restricted the development of card masters.

But that was before!

Now the Old World has been discovered.

It's like discovering an "ancient library", and people have found a door that can finally open "super-level knowledge".

In those ruins, in the extradimensional space

Although dangerous, there are countless treasures of civilization left over from ancient times.

The royal family has mastered some super-level inheritances, and Ji Xun agrees with this statement.

After all, ten hours ago, he had only seen with his own eyes the exaggerated nature of Queen Oran.

This "technical blockade" of the Orlan royal family really makes people feel like they are stuck in their throats.

But the world can't do anything about them.

After all, dynasties have collapsed.

Ji Xun also had some guesses, and said curiously: "So. . . Master, this dragon's blood is the key to the seventh order? Is it a problem in the card's blood? ”

Although the sixth order is still out of reach, there are still dreams to have.

One day, he felt that he would definitely touch the bottleneck that was pinching the neck of civilization.

"Yes!"

Master Merlin listened with a terrifying look: "But not exactly. ”

This is already the knowledge of the top card master field, Ji Xun has an expression of humility and asks for advice, waiting for the following.

Master Merlin said lightly: "Since you have obtained the blood of the dragon, then you must have seen the 'dragon power'. ”

"Huh?"

Ji Xun has seen it, and he is a little puzzled about the relationship between the two.

Not only the power of the dragon, but also the power of the angels, the power of the old gods

The coercion of that higher creature is still fresh in my memory.

Master Merlin suddenly asked a question that Ji Xun hadn't thought about: "Then have you ever thought about what the essence of 'Longwei' is?" ”

"The essence of Long Wei?"

When Ji Xun heard this question, it was as if a stick had knocked on him, and he had a feeling of getting closer to the truth.

He thought about it and responded, "The suppression of higher beings at the level of law? ”

"It's really one aspect, but it's not accurate. And my research direction is what is the nature of this repression. ”

Master Merlin nodded and corrected.

He added: "The secret of the coercion of higher beings against lower beings may be hidden in the bloodline gene chain. This is a genetically pre-existing repression. Not only dragons, but also other higher creatures, such as the legendary High Elves, giants, and old gods. Wait a minute. They will all have an instinct in them that makes the lower creatures surrender. ”

Ji Xun also understood a little: "So, it's a bloodline issue?" ”

It's a bit like a racial disparity.

Like the difference between a bug and an elephant?

"It's just one aspect. After all, human beings, such low-level creatures, can also enter the god level by obtaining the extraordinary power in the universe. So, ancestry is not the only issue. But that's a different direction."

Master Merlin said this, and he stopped talking.

It seems that there are too many things to say about this question, and it will not be clear for a while.

After pondering for a moment, he returned to the topic and continued, "The focus of my current research is the correlation between Long Wei and the distortion suppression after the card master advanced to the seventh order. ”

“.”

Ji Xun didn't speak, and continued to listen.

This is also a concern for him.

Master Merlin said, "As far as I know, all the powerhouses and seniors who have tried to break through the seventh order have been distorted without exception, so I have been looking for the cause of the distortion all my life. Even over the years, there have been several legendary powerhouses who have been willing to be research materials, allowing me to dissect my one-sided speculation that the aberrations are just the loss of control of extraordinary power at the physical level."

“.”

Ji Xun listened in awe.

With just a few simple words, he saw the efforts and dedication of countless top card masters on this civilization bottleneck.

But isn't the definition of aberration a physical transcendence out of control?

After all, that's what is written in all the texts.

Could there be another reason?

Master Merlin seemed intent on pointing out something, and said, "Recently, some new documents have been discovered from the ruins of the Old World. I confirmed that my previous research was indeed too one-sided."

Speaking of this, he didn't rush to say more, but asked, "Have you ever heard of the saying 'the body is the anchor of the soul, and the soul is the rudder of the body'?" ”

Ji Xun nodded, also realized something, and said, "You mean that the reason for the loss of control is the soul?" ”

Master Merlin didn't deny or affirm it, but said, "In fact, the transcendent characteristics of the human body are only one of the causes of the aberration. However, research has proven that some strong people can withstand the relevant transcendent characteristics in their physical bodies, but they are still bound to get out of control. I didn't find the reason before, but now that I think about it, it may be that there is a problem at the 'consciousness level'."

As he spoke, he added, "Because the source of the card master's extraordinary power is the fifty-two sequence of demon gods. And the seventh order already involves the real 'Demon God Power Infusion'. That may be the realm of 'demigods' in epic legends, and it must be regarded as the category of higher creatures. ”

In ancient mythological texts, you can often see the epics of dragon-slaying warriors, who are usually "demigods".

I thought it was a myth.

Listening now, it seems to refer to some super-level secret.

But Ji Xun was really a little confused when he heard it.

These are all knowledge that is not recorded in any classics and is already "superclass".

And even if this scholar stands at the top of the pyramid of the current academic community, he also uses a lot of uncertain words such as "maybe" and "maybe".

This is even more incomprehensible.

"I have a guess that Long Wei may be a manifestation of the 'super-level consciousness' of a higher creature like a dragon."

Master Merlin did not want to explain the academic complexities and turned back to the subject.

He said earnestly, "That's why I think these Dragonborn materials you brought me are so important. Dragons possess the most complete genetic chain of superior organisms, which may be the 'key'. Until the results of the study are available, I am not sure which research direction is the right answer. ”

After saying this, he didn't say much more about professional knowledge.

That's exactly what he's currently working on.

These words are only a guide to the next topic.

Looking at Ji Xun, Merlin seemed to be a kind elder and said, "Your foundation is very good. There is a chance to see the scenery at the top in the future. You will definitely face this problem when the time comes. I can give you a piece of advice, though. From now on, you can start cultivating your 'mind' well. ”

Ji Xun didn't quite understand what that "meaning" meant, and asked directly: "What do you mean. Spiritual thoughts? ”

Master Merlin not only knows how to study, but his strength is also legendary, and he immediately corrected: "It's not just the amount of spiritual power. A more accurate description is the level of consciousness, or soul. ”

“？？？”

Ji Xun thinks that his comprehension and comprehension are far beyond ordinary people.

But listening to these realms that can only be touched by top-level card masters, I am also confused.

Master Merlin looked at him puzzled, and then continued to explain: "The 'meaning' mentioned by the melee card master refers to fist intent, sword intent, and killing intent. Wait a minute. The 'spiritual might' of the warlock's cultivation, divine power, divine treasure, artistic conception, and will. It's all the same thing. If my guess is correct, this could be a crucial direction to break through the Super Order. What's more, even if it's not, it's crucial to your own cultivation, and there's no harm in mastering it."

“.”

Ji Xun finally heard why this master wasted his precious time saying so much.

It's not just about popularizing some high-end knowledge.

I also want to show myself a path of cultivation.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun said respectfully: "Thank you seniors for your teaching." ”

Hearing this, Master Merlin shook his head slightly, not paying attention.

It's just that I met a young man who thinks he has good potential and is special, and he is interested in giving advice.

Over the years, he has met too many such amazing juniors.

Some died, some died, and some became the building blocks of civilization.

Maybe there is an idea that one day I will no longer be able to pass on this spirit of exploration.

But having said that, he thought about it and asked a question again: "Since that's all I have to say, I'll ask you another question." ”

Ji Xun: "Please speak." ”

Master Merlin smiled meaningfully: "Consciousness is, in a way, the reference to 'soul'. So. Everyone knows that living beings have souls. It's like a human being. So, where is the soul? ”

“？？？”

Ji Xun didn't expect Master Merlin to ask this question.

Past lives can also say that the soul may not exist.

But in this world, he has seen all kinds of evil spirits, evil spirits, and dead spirits with his own eyes.

This is the product of the soul of a creature after death.

So the question is, where is the soul?

Apparently Master Merlin himself had not figured out this question, and did not expect to be answered, so he said, "I always thought it was in the body. But I have dissected many people and creatures, and I have found that even if there is only one head left, as long as the living body is still conscious, it has a complete soul. ”

Speaking of this, he left another suspense and asked again: "Then do you think that the soul may be in the mind?" ”

"Hmm."

Ji Xun also thinks that it is not in the hands and feet of the body, but probably in the brain?

But Master Merlin immediately smiled mysteriously: "No. I confirm that I am not there. ”

"Absent?"

Ji Xun also felt incredible when he heard it.

It's not in the body, it's not in the mind, so where can it be?

But after a closer look, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

With the firmness of his tone, he felt that this Merlin master himself had come to a conclusion based on his own research.

No wonder he was expelled from the Card Master Association and banished to the City of Innocence

Those related studies are probably a bit shocking.

Master Merlin is like a qualified teacher, and he can't answer this question, but he shows the students in a direction, saying, "Consciousness is not in the dimension of our cognition. But I'm not sure where. My guess is that when we perceive where our 'consciousness' is, we can accurately perceive the 'super-level' realm. In that way, there will be no 'rudder' that can control the body and have super strength, so that it will not get out of control. Forget it, that's it, any more, you'll be confused when you listen to it."

"Hmm."

Ji Xun seemed to suddenly understand this.

The body is the "anchor" of the soul, and the soul is the "rudder" of the body.

It turns out that the meaning of this sentence is so deep.

After some exchanges, Ji Xun really realized the significance of the development of the Old Continent to the top powerhouses.

Having said all this, Master Merlin did not mean to continue chatting, and concentrated on tinkering with his various experiments.

Ji Xun didn't bother, just practiced quietly in the laboratory and waited.

A day later.

Master Merlin didn't disappoint.

According to Ji Xun's physical assessment data, he refined a perfectly fitting career card.

Ji Xun got this golden career card that exceeded expectations.

【Dragon Catcher】

Quality: Gold

Details: Dragon Slayer Warrior Beowulf's exclusive third-order class card; Fusion requires a minimum of 60 strength, agility, and physique. Attribute is not less than 55, beast tolerance is not less than 15, after fusion, obtain 'Dragon Hunting Power', gain 30-41% strength increase, 1 8% -27% flesh all attribute increase; After fusion, it will subsequently obtain a huge amount of all-system elemental mana and a continuous growth limit in the direction of flesh and blood; Gain Hard Armor (Physical Toughness), Forbidden Demon (Elemental Resistance), Pseudo Dragon Power (Mental Strength and Resistance), Giant Food (Qi and Blood, Healing and Body Absorption), and Dark Mystic (Unknown Dark Energy) abilities;

The effects of the materials invested are brought into full play.

The main Dragonborn material unexpectedly gets dragon-related kicks.

Especially the power, it's just exaggerated.

At present, the mainstream third-order career card on the market, a normal increase of about 25% is already the best.

And the lower limit of the direct power increase of this gold card is 30%, and the increase of other attributes is also in the best range.

And [Rift Girl's Scissors] is also the finishing touch.

This golden material has attracted the relevant spiritual characteristics of the Dragonborn material, and has greatly increased the entry of "Pseudo Dragonway";

There is also an unseen element material of [Advanced Dark Matter Crystal] obtained from the ruins of Xia Mucheng, which also makes a new entry of "dark mystery" appear on the finished career card.

Seeing all kinds of attributes, Ji Xun is very satisfied.

But at the same time, Ji Xun was also amazed.

His physical fitness is so strong, and the materials he invested should not be as strong as in ancient times, and he feels that he can barely meet the fusion conditions.

How exaggerated is the physical fitness of those card masters in ancient times?

No further delay.

The body has long been pranayama to its best.

Ji Xun got the card and immediately began to fuse it on the spot.

In the entire City of Innocence, there is no safer place than Master Merlin's laboratory.

The cards are dissolved, and the supernatural properties are integrated into the body.

The familiar feeling strikes again.

The bursting energy washed over the body again.

However, the stronger the extraordinary characteristics of the class card, the greater the pain of the advancement.

Moreover, the third order is a big bottleneck, and the various pains that the body has to endure are several times worse than those of the previous second order.

Pain, burning, cracked bones, torn muscles.

And because it's fused with Dragonborn materials, this kind of high-level material is like poison to humans.

The moment the career card collapsed, it was as if a trapped fire dragon was rampage, spitting flames and burning his body, trying to break through the cage of his body.

But after all, it's been advanced twice.

This third time, Ji Xun didn't feel any surprise at all.

Pain is also within the realm of the complete will.

The only difference is that I have comprehended the "curse seal".

The spell seal is like a layer of armor on the flesh, so that it will not be blown up by the berserk transcendent characteristics.

In the whole process of integration, people feel a strong expectation of transformation in the pain.

Two days later, the surging extraordinary properties in the body subsided.

Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation.

He immediately felt the feeling of congestion and bulging in his muscles.

Looking at the brand-new panel, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and muttered in his heart: "It's finally the third order."

A high-fit custom career card, fused with almost no surprises, and successfully advanced.

"Season Hunt"

Power: 91.56

Constitution: 80.46

Dexterity: 80.23

Toughness: 80.11

Tricks: 52

Spirit: 49

Mana: 16888

Halo: Doom Gambler

Elemental Affinity: Darkness 51 / Light 20 / Earth 33 / Wind 35 / Water 55 / Fire 60 / Thunder 19 / Wood 24 / Gold 17 / Unknown Dark Energy +55 / Time Law Affinity +18 / Fear +31

Class entries: [Flesh Growth], [Qigong Strength], [Dark Beast], [Werewolf Form], [Savage Growth], [Qigong Master], [Hellfire], [Hard Armor], [Forbidden Demon], [Pseudo Dragon], [Giant Food], [Dark Mystery]

"It's so strong!"

Ji Xun's eyes were full of light.

Looking at the changes in his body after the fusion, he really felt the strength of the improvement brought by this class card.

The effect of the Dragonborn material was fully brought into play.

All stats have skyrocketed from 60+ to 80+.

The most exaggerated is the "power", which has skyrocketed to 90+.

This is almost up to the 30-41% increase limit of the [Dragon Catcher] class card theory.

It was just perfect.

And after the advancement, a lot of various career entries have also increased.

On top of that, the rank cap has been opened.

Ji Xun clearly felt the kind of "hunger" that could become stronger.

Instead of the "satiety" of the previous second-order bottleneck period.

Not only has his body become stronger, but standing at the top of the stairs, Ji Xun also clearly feels that his perception of the laws of the universe has once again risen to a higher level.

It's a very different kind of experience.

It's no wonder that the rank gap has such a big impact on combat power.

At this moment, he clearly felt that the third-order body and the second-order body were like iron knives and wooden knives, there was a world of difference.

When Ji Xun saw this, he grinned: "Is this the third order?"

Now that he has successfully advanced, he can also try the "Shangbang Prison" thing he is worried about.

I've been in the lab for a few days now, and the master has been busy.

Ji Xun didn't have the cheekiness to continue to stay.

He walked to the laboratory, looked at the busy back, and beckoned, "Master Merlin, thank you for your help this time."

Merlin looked back at Ji Xun, as if he remembered that there was such a person in the laboratory, paused for a moment, and praised: "Yo, the advancement has been successful." It's in good shape."

Ji Xun said respectfully: "Thanks to the career card you refined, Master. ”

"Huh."

Merlin smiled noncommittally.

The professional card he personally refined, he naturally knew how exaggerated the attributes of this card were.

I did help, but not all.

After all, this card is not just a fusion for anyone.

To have such a good effect, the fuser itself is also very good.

Ji Xun came to say hello and say goodbye, and he didn't want to delay Master Merlin's time any longer.

But when he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, and tried to ask, "Master Merlin, I am going to go to the 'Shangbang Prison' this time." Do you know anything about that place? ”

He thought about the status of Master Merlin, and after so many years in the city of innocence, he may not know about the gluttonous breathing method.

Dong Jiuye avoided talking about it before.

Maybe this one won't?

But Ji Xun was also afraid that the other party would be embarrassed, so he didn't make his purpose clear.

However, this kind of side knocking, Master Merlin answered very directly.

Listening to the name of "Shangbang Prison", he didn't know what came to mind, and glanced at Ji Xun with meaningful eyes, and said directly: "I know what you want to ask." But I can't give you an answer. ”

When Ji Xun heard this, he didn't say much, and decisively bowed and saluted goodbye: "It's the juniors who are abrupt." ”

The master obviously knew, but didn't say it either.

In other words, the identity of the "big man" in prison is really special.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun not only did not feel that he had encountered an insurmountable difficulty, but his heart became even more interested in exploring.

He saluted and said, "Master Merlin, the juniors take their leave." ”

Master Merlin listened to this, nodded, and turned to go on with his own business.

But when he turned back, Ji Xun couldn't see a smile on his old face, and said to himself: "That strange old man, he shouldn't be dead yet."
