On the Dinghai God Pillar, Chen Qi sat cross-legged and quietly practiced penance.

Ever since he learned about the existence of the alchemy technique from the mouth of the Jade Divine Son, Chen Qi had been very curious about this secret technique that could absorb the information structure of heaven and earth.

Today, he was finally able to see what he really was.

……

The art of refining continued to flow in Chen Qi's mind, and Chen Qi had to comprehend it 30 times before he gained a little.

There are two types of alchemy.

The first is the collection of information structures that have escaped between heaven and earth, which can also be regarded as collecting information from the sea of information.

As for the second level, it is to directly strip away the information structure of various things in heaven and earth.

It's very difficult, but it's easier to get a complete information structure.

……

If you want to cultivate the art of harvesting, the prerequisite is that you must first be able to peek into the information structure.

And that's where the power of the mind comes in.

Paired with the art of alchemy, there is also a [Heart Mirror] secret technique.

This is through the shaping of the [Immovable Heart], turning it into a mental mirror, reflecting the information structure of the outside world.

There is endless information escaping from heaven and earth at every moment, and if you use your mind to directly reflect and capture it, the cultivator will be drowned by the terrifying flood of information in the next moment, and go mad.

……

The immovable mind is different, it is essentially the core of the superego.

The essence of shaping it as a mental mirror is to perceive the information structure between heaven and earth through the superego.

And the superego can almost be regarded as a conceptual body born from external cognition, which is quite a professional counterpart.

In fact, even if he doesn't shape the mental mirror, Chen Qi can also perceive the information structure between heaven and earth.

But Chen Qi still cultivated according to the original version, and he wanted to feel how wonderful this heart mirror was.

……

It is mentioned in the cultivation materials that it is very difficult to shape the heart mirror, and it needs to be carefully polished with the power of the mind.

Only by polishing the heart mirror to be transparent and bright enough can the information structure of the outside world be reflected.

I don't know if it's because Chen Qi is too talented, he just polished it a little 99 times, and the heart mirror was actually refined.

The moment the heart mirror was formed, a spring water was reflected.

Countless information structures are like fountains, spraying into the void in a steady stream.

If you look closely, you will see that the structure of the information is about the mysteries of coral reefs.

……

"Interesting, I see!"

After several experiments, Chen Qi finally determined the function of the cardiac mirror.

The state of mind cannot spy on the information between heaven and earth on a large scale, but can only reflect the information structure that escapes from the things that Chen Qi locks.

For example, the fountain that appeared in the heart mirror was because Chen Qi locked on to a coral stone in front of him.

In this way, cultivating the art of harvesting and refining does not allow cultivators to peek into the sea of information, but only to see a drop or a blob in the sea water.

But the heart mirror is not without advantages, compared with the vastness of the sea of information, uncertain, people are at a loss.

The heart mirror is like a monitor, which can detect the escape of coral stone information all the time, so the state it presents is like a fountain.

……

After completing the cultivation of the Heart Mirror, the next step is the real [Harvesting Technique].

And the interpretation of this paragraph is also the place where Chen Qi took the longest time.

Because of some of the theories, he felt quite familiar and mysterious.

[The essence of the art of mining and refining is to use its own small world to plunder the information in the outside world, and transform and use it]

In the art of alchemy, the human body and heaven and earth are regarded as two separate systems.

This perspective is very similar to some of Chen Qi's previous realizations from Yuan Jun.

But it is different from Yuanjun, who makes his own system completely independent of heaven and earth, so as to interfere with the outside world.

Although the art of alchemy emphasizes the small world of the human body, it is only "temporary".

That is, the art of refining does not make people completely independent of heaven and earth, but only uses the power of the mind to envelop themselves to achieve a temporary separation between man and heaven and earth.

"The human body is like a furnace, and the heart is sealed."

This is the method of sealing the body in the art of alchemy.

……

"People have seven tricks, which connect heaven and earth."

According to the description of the art of harvesting and alchemy, there are seven spiritual aperture in the small world of the human body, which are the bridge to communicate with the outside world.

As long as these seven spiritual apertures are temporarily blocked, the connection between the human body and the outside world can be cut off, and it will become a whole.

Chen Qi tried it casually according to the secret method, but he didn't expect it to succeed at one time.

At the moment when the small world of the human body became independent, Chen Qi completely lost his sense of the outside world.

At the same time, a new world was born.

Chen Qi's body turned into an infinite earth, and his blood turned into a surging torrent.

On the earth, countless primitive humans full of wild nature are running.

This is the manifestation of Chen Qi's whole body cells.

Not only that, Chen Qi's subconscious has turned into various rules to maintain the material world.

The emotions and thoughts in the subjective consciousness have turned into billions of gods and demons, who are constantly fighting and driving the world around.

At the highest point in the world, the mind is like the god of creation, quietly overlooking all this.

……

"Is this the secret of the human body?"

"It's a pity that it's all in vain!"

At infinity and beyond, the mind sighed, and all kinds of visions disappeared in an instant, and the whole world returned to darkness again.

But in the darkness, there is a rumbling sound constantly recalled, this is the sound of the small world of the human body.

Even if Chen Qi's current physical body is extremely powerful, he is only a mortal fetus in the flesh, how can he evolve all kinds of gods in his body.

The most important thing is that the spiritual aperture is only temporarily closed, which is the root of all illusions.

As for how to completely seal the spiritual aperture, or take the initiative to master its opening and closing, the refining technique in Chen Qi's hand was not mentioned.

……

"Am I making too fast progress?"

"According to the information, just polishing the heart mirror, it will take half a year to be fast."

"I've only been using it for a day!"

"As for closing one's own spiritual aperture and becoming a world of its own, this is even more exaggerated."

"Others have to fail at least thousands of times, but I did it once!"

"If I'm not dreaming, I can't believe I'm so amazing."

"Hahaha!"

On top of the Dinghai Divine Pillar, Chen Qi had to seriously reflect for a few minutes because his cultivation progress was too fast.

After reflection, Chen Qi felt that everything was very reasonable, and he was no longer entangled.

But the next cultivation will not be so smooth.

Because if you want to capture and strip away the information that escapes between heaven and earth, you need to use the power of [root] to shape your own spirituality into some mysterious things.

……

It is rumored that there is a god in heaven and earth, and its name is Tianyuan.

The god elephant has its own body, but it can use its own proboscis to devour the rivers and mountains of the world, turning into a splendid belly.

In the art of harvesting, if you want to capture and strip away the information structure of non-living things, you need to shape the nose of the Tianyuan Divine Elephant.

This is essentially a spiritual mimicry.

It's just that it's not all of the Tianyuan Divine Elephant that is simulated, but only its nose.

In the art of harvesting, there is a complete structure of the elephant's trunk, and there is even a lifelike illustration with full charm.

It seems that this only needs to be cultivated step by step, but because it involves precise interference with the roots, the difficulty of cultivation is not ordinary.

Chen Qi tried it casually, and the miracle did not appear, he "unexpectedly" failed.

Well, that's normal.

……

In addition to the nose of the Tianyuan Divine Elephant, there is another mysterious thing in the method of extraction, which is used to capture and strip away the information structure of living beings.

Its name [Ghost Touch] is something that Chen Qi cares about a lot.

"People die as ghosts, and if they don't die, they are gods, so there are ghosts and gods in this world."

"Ghosts and spirits feed on the information structure of the lives of sentient beings. It is like a bee, harvesting the essence of all living beings to make honey, in order to sublimate into a ghost. ”

This is all the introduction of ghosts and gods in the art of alchemy, but for some reason, Chen Qi always feels that this ghost and god himself is somewhat familiar.

But the strange thing is that Chen Qi has gone through all his records, especially the memories of reading the college library recently, and still has not found any information related to ghosts and gods.

At a certain moment, a spiritual light suddenly crossed his mind, and Chen Qi suddenly realized.

……

"Curse of Immortality!"

"It's the immortality curse of the Joea Criss family."

"No wonder I always feel that the records about ghosts and gods are a little familiar, [people die as ghosts, and immortals are gods], this is the only knowledge about the immortal curse in Jomoyak Reese's remaining memory."

"Interesting, no wonder there is no record of ghosts and gods in the academy library."

"Because this kind of existence, even in the outer ring world, is quite taboo."

"The Chris family, the actual earl, was completely decayed because of the involvement in the immortal curse incident, and was sent back to the inner ring world."

As more and more information was connected in his mind, Chen Qi became more and more sure that the immortal curse was absolutely inseparable from the inheritance of ghosts and gods.

Since leaving the Blue Taro Country, Jomoya Chris's resentment has been sealed by Chen Qi with a black soul suppression nail and stuffed into the Tirado Ancient Ring.

Originally, Chen Qi planned to study it carefully, and by the way, he brought the treasure house of the Joea Criss family.

It's a pity that after the Shengxian Island incident ended, Chen Qi's strength expanded too quickly, and he didn't really care about the Chris family's inheritance.

Especially after joining the Heavenly Witch Spell Academy, Chen Qi was too busy, and he directly forgot about this matter.

If there is no accident, Jomoya Chris's resentment is afraid that he will always eat ashes in the box.

But fate is so wonderful, just today, Chen Qi remembered Jomoya Chris again because of [Ghost Touch].

It seems that it is necessary to take the time to study this declining earl family in the future!

……

Incomparably weird, the tentacles of ghosts and gods are neither human palms nor mollusk tentacles, but more like a black arthropod.

Chen Qi tried to cultivate at will, and felt that the difficulty was even greater than that of the Tianyuan Divine Elephant.

"It's strange that only these two kinds of mysterious things are recorded in the art of alchemy."

"If my previous guess was correct, the things that the Tongyou Society harvested are myths and legends, and these two mysterious things are obviously not compatible."

"In this way, there should be a third mysterious thing in this alchemy technique."

When Chen Qi exchanged the alchemy technique, with his authority and points, he could only exchange the basic version.

If you want to exchange for a higher advanced version, you must at least become a true legend seed of the academy.

Chen Qi was originally very curious about the advanced version, but now he has more or less guessed it.

The Heavenly Witch Spell Academy is really profound!

……

After some thought, Chen Qi planned to cultivate the nose of the Tianyuan Divine Elephant first.

The reason why he made such a choice, Chen Qi also has his own considerations.

The first is the difficulty of cultivation, for Chen Qi, the difficulty of shaping the trunk of the Tianyuan Divine Elephant is obviously lower than that of the Ghost Touch.

Chen Qi's mission this time is destined not to be too long, of course, it is easiest to get it first.

It's not that Chen Qi doesn't want to spend more time outside, but he also has to go back to the academy to prepare for the True Seed Campaign.

Moreover, Chen Qi is very skilled and experienced in capturing the information structure of non-living substances, and he can also be used to improve his own strength.

……

The structure of the information captured by the touch of ghosts and gods is different.

Not mentioning the touch of ghosts and gods itself made Chen Qi muttered a little in his heart, just because of the difficulty of its construction, Chen Qi was not sure that he would be able to complete his cultivation in this mission.

And Chen Qi didn't have a safe way to use the information structure of these living forms.

You can't let him learn [Feeding Shrine] and raise gods in his inner heaven and earth.

On the contrary, it is the information structure of those non-living organisms that is easier to apply to practice.

After making up his mind, Chen Qi completely indulged in penance.

And time is also flowing day by day in Chen Qi's cultivation.

……

"Hahaha, Fifth Prince, don't run away!"

"This vast sea is the world of our black shark thieves, so let's bury ourselves at the bottom of the sea!"

A thousand kilometers away from the East Burley Strait, a skirmish is taking place.

Dozens of skull-flagged pirate ships besiege three small transcendent warships.

Above the small transcendent warship, the emblem of the kingdom of Droya is hung.

Obviously, these were the regular warships of the kingdom of Droya.

But what is extremely strange is that it is the regular army of these kingdoms that has fallen into disadvantage at this time.

The 10 skull-flagged pirate ships were really like black sharks, constantly crisscrossing the sea, constantly biting small transcendent warships.

……

"Damn, how is that possible?"

"How can there be pirates in the inner ring world!"

"Damn, which bastard colluded with foreign enemies to hire the naval forces of other countries."

"It's a foul, it's breaking the rules!"

In the command room of the transcendent battleship, the fifth prince, who was as fat as a ball, was full of despair and anger.

How dare they?

How dare they do that?

Who, exactly, is interfering?

……

"Your Royal Highness, although we don't want to admit it, the other party seems to be a real pirate."

"Their tactics are completely different from today's naval warfare, an ancient method of warfare that I have only seen in the academy's library."

"In today's kingdom navy of the inner ring world, everyone is fighting for hard power, the weight and number of extraordinary warships, and they will not complete these bells and whistles."

"It's an absolute shame for us."

Beside the fifth prince, a naval officer spoke with a face full of shame.

Of course, he was still quite unconvinced and indignant in his heart.

It's not that they can't beat each other, it's that there are many people on the other side's ship, and they suddenly sneak attack.

The instinct that originated from the navy told him that these guys on the other side were definitely not the regular navy of a certain kingdom.

Their navy is proud, independent, and will never learn from the pirates.

This is the honor of corrupting all the navies of the inner ring world.

After all, it was everyone who joined forces to destroy all the pirates.

He would rather believe that it was the pirate who suddenly came back to life, and he would never believe that the navy of any kingdom had his brain pumped out and pretended to be a pirate.

……

"What's the use of you talking about this now?"

"Does the kingdom invest so much money every year to feed you waste?"

"Pass my order, just let those two warships take the lead and crash into me."

"I don't believe in the quality of our kingdom's warships, and they can't break these small sampans."

The fat fifth prince was angry again, and he finally got rid of all the tracks, leading everyone on the way home to mourn.

It turned out that he was ambushed by these pirates, which is really hateful.

However, in the face of the Fifth Prince's order, the previous naval officers were indifferent and did not pay any attention to it.

……

"Your Royal Highness, according to the current power structure of the kingdom, even if you are crowned king, you do not have the right to directly command us to fight."

"We were only ordered to take you back to the royal capital, and it was also because of your personal relationship with the lieutenant general that we reluctantly obeyed your advice on the journey."

"You're out of bounds now!"

With this sentence, the air in the command room instantly froze.

All the officers present looked at the Fifth Prince coldly, and their attitude was very obvious.

This is not the case anymore, and the royal family no longer has absolute authority.

And even back then, a prince who had not ascended the throne did not want to command blindly here.

……

"You, you!"

As if he had been stabbed suddenly, the fifth prince, who had been angry before, was directly deflated.

He fell to the ground in a daze, but he was helpless.

Because the kingdom is in such a situation that even if he becomes a true king, he will have very little power.

He didn't want to fight for the throne if he could.

But he didn't have a choice!

……

The fifth prince, Benjamin, has no other ability, that is, he has a wide range of friends.

According to the gossip obtained by Benjamin, the national teacher has already divined the results of this succession to the throne.

As a result, the sky was full of blood, and only the one who became the king of the nine survived.

The divination of the national teacher has never been missed, and Benjamin is naturally convinced

Benjamin didn't want to die at all, but his strength was only in the middle and bottom of the 9, and he couldn't grab it at all.

In desperation, he could only choose to take the lead.

And the result was exactly the same as the situation encountered by the previous two, and they were sniped again.

……

"Your Royal Highness, there is no need for you to despair!"

"The other party didn't really want to kill us, they just slowed down our trip!"

"Now that our power system is damaged, their goal has been achieved, and it's almost time to withdraw!"

The naval officer at the head made his own judgment.

Sure enough, the Black Shark thieves quickly "ran out" and fled in a hurry.

However, Benjamin, the fifth prince, who witnessed this scene, had no surprise on his face.

Because he really doesn't want to enter the East Peric!
