Nine days have passed in the blink of an eye.

After returning from the battlefield, Pei Ze spent most of his time in the stone house.

In addition to taking unicorn essence blood every day, it is to meditate and practice the omniscient breathing method, just like when I was in the academy, immersed in improving my strength.

Not surprisingly, while Pei Ze's spiritual energy level was increasing, the effect of unicorn essence blood was gradually weakening.

By the time he took the tenth bottle of unicorn essence blood, the increased mental power was only 0.49 energy level.

This effect is about the same as the increase of three vials of Resonance Potion, which is strictly speaking, and it is no longer worthy of the price of unicorn essence blood.

Pei Ze thought twice and decided not to exchange for unicorn essence blood, and used the remaining merit points to exchange for Holy Spirit Buds.

"Omniscience, detect my current state."

[Spirit 20.02]

[Constitution 13.14]

"Yes, it's finally over 20 energy levels."

Pei Ze smiled with satisfaction.

There is still about 12 energy levels left, and he will be able to reach the first-level gasification limit, and then he will be able to start condensing his spiritual power.

"The omniscient breathing method is also about to break through to the fourth layer."

Pei Ze had a faint feeling that according to the current progress, in two months at most, the omniscient breathing method should be able to break through to the fourth layer.

At that time, even if his physique can't reach the 20 energy level, it won't be much worse.

"As long as you cultivate to the fifth layer, you can break through and become a third-order legendary knight."

The third-order legendary knight is enough to contend with the existence of a first-order vaporization wizard.

Legendary knights of this level have a slightly lower status in Dawn City than wizards.

Coming back to his senses, Pei Ze looked at the taskbar.

[Task 1: Calculate the secret method of rapidly increasing and condensing mental power, which is estimated to require 276.1 energy level]

After many days of mental acceleration, the task of calculating the secret method has been nearly half completed.

Thanks to the rapid growth of mental power, the progress of the task was much faster than Pei Ze expected.

Even if he didn't have the Bloodline Stimulation Technique as a reference, he would soon be able to obtain the secret method of increasing and condensing his spiritual power.

Of course, if you can get your hands on the Bloodline Stimulation Technique, you might be able to complete it faster.

As for the remaining two taskbars, Pei Ze casually hung two spell models to improve.

However, he was not prepared to waste his mental energy on this, and only planned to rely on time to complete it naturally.

Stretching, Pei Ze got up and walked out of the room, ready to go to the exchange to exchange for the Holy Spirit Buds.

As soon as he walked out of the stone house, he saw Su Ya and Peng Yan arguing in the open space not far away.

Seeing Pei Ze come out, the two immediately stopped and greeted them respectfully.

"Your Excellency." "Your Excellency."

Pei Ze probed it with his omniscient eye and found that the physique attributes of the two of them had exceeded the 3.5 energy level, and Peng Yan had reached the 3.89 energy level, which was not far from the 4 energy level.

Obviously, the two of them have gained a lot these days.

30 merit points can only be exchanged for one bottle of Resonance Potion for wizards, and the effect is limited.

But for the first-order legendary knights, it was a huge fortune, and the resources exchanged were enough to make their strength skyrocket.

Su Ya and Peng Yan are proof of this.

In just ten days, the physique of the two of them skyrocketed by seventy or eighty percent, which was worth three or four months of their cultivation.

This is still the case with omniscient breathing.

In other legendary knights, I am afraid that I will not have such a high increase in cultivation for two or three years.

Pei Ze nodded with secret satisfaction, at this rate, the two of them would soon be able to advance to second-order legends.

"How's that going on with your attention?" Pei Ze asked.

Su Ya hurriedly said: "As expected by the adults, the mission hall has already issued the task of recapturing resource point No. 34. ”

Resource point 34 is the Mithril resource point that Yan Dong, Fang Na and others lost.

"Is there anyone taking the task?"

"Not yet."

Su Ya shook her head.

"I heard that Red Maple City has sent scouts to investigate, and the Turin army that occupies resource point 34 has four detachments of the Knights of the Sect, as well as a large number of noble armies."

"In addition, there are more than a dozen Winter Frost priests, among whom there may be third-class priests."

Pei Ze raised his eyebrows.

There are four sect knight detachments, which are more than 1,500 grand knights and more than 100 legendary knights.

Even if his fog crow swarm is against him, he may not be able to beat it.

Not to mention the double-digit Winter Frost priests, as well as the possible third-class priests.

With the currently proven garrison force alone, without seven or eight wizards joining forces, plus a first-level crystallization wizard taking the lead, it is basically impossible to recapture the Mithril resource point.

As for the second-level wizards

To be honest, a Mithril resource point is not very attractive to second-level wizards.

Especially when the people of Turin made it clear that they wanted to stick to the Mithril resource point and did not hesitate to garrison a large number of military forces for this purpose, the second-level wizard was even more reluctant to risk attacking the resource point for the sake of just a dozen kilograms of Mithril.

However, this is not bad news for Pei Ze.

It's best that no one takes over this task until he has formed his own army and has enough strength to take it over.

Letting Su Ya and Peng Yan continue to cultivate, Pei Ze turned around and walked towards the exchange.

Halfway through, he noticed that someone had been watching him whispering.

There are a lot of eyes focused on him, both openly and secretly.

Pei Ze was still a little puzzled, but it wasn't until he walked into the exchange and met Yan Dong and the others that he suddenly realized.

"Pei Ze."

After a period of recuperation, Cheng He has regained his strength, and his whole person looks much more energetic.

However, there was a trace of gloom between the eyebrows of the three people.

After all, during this period of time, the loss of the Mithril resource point was rumored, and the pressure on the three of them as parties was definitely not small.

Face and reputation are one thing, but more importantly, the army they have built up with great difficulty has been wiped out and has to be built from scratch.

In the chat with the three of them, Pei Ze learned that the news of his capture of the No. 89 fortification had spread, causing quite a stir in Red Maple City.

Since the outbreak of the great war with the Turines, there has never been a precedent for a first-level wizard to capture the fortifications of the Turines alone, and coupled with the title of the youngest wizard in Dawn City, this matter has attracted a lot of attention and discussion.

"Now you're a celebrity in Red Maple City." Yan Dong said with a smile.

Fang Na covered her mouth and smiled: "Pei Ze was originally a big celebrity. ”

"That's right." Yan Dong also reacted.

As an important party that led to the outcome of the Battle of the Two Cities, Pei Ze has long been known to everyone in Red Maple City.

Pei Ze smiled, lifted the topic, and asked, "What are your plans next?" ”

Yan Dong sighed and said: "What else can I do, continue to go to the battlefield to clean up the patrol chariots and sentinels of the Turinees, when will I save enough merit points, and then form an army to attack the fortifications of the Turines." ”

After what happened before, Yan Dong and the three of them had a shadow on the town guard resource point.

Although this kind of task has great benefits, it is also risky, and all the previous investment will be wasted.

They weren't going to go through it a second time.

Pei Ze bowed slightly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a gaze.

He turned his head to look, just in line with the previous wizard's gaze.

The other party was tall and thin, with a pair of strange dark red eyes.

Seeing Pei Ze looking, the red-eyed wizard looked away unnaturally, not daring to look at him.

Noticing Pei Ze's gaze, Yan Dong turned his head to look, recognized the red-eyed wizard, and said in a low voice: "That guy's name is Lu Rong, and he is a wizard from Red Lotus City. ”

Pei Ze suddenly lost interest and retracted his gaze.

He knew that he had always had a bad impression among the wizards of Red Lotus City.

"That's right." Pei Ze suddenly said, "Do you have any faith crystals in your hands?" ”

Yan Dong and Cheng He shook their heads.

On the contrary, Fang Na bowed her head and said, "I happen to have one, what's wrong?" ”

Pei Ze's eyes lit up and said, "Can you let me take a look?" ”

Although Fang Na was a little curious about why Pei Ze made such a request, she did not refuse, and took out a faith crystal and handed it to Pei Ze.

This is the crystallization of her faith that she prepared to break through to the first stage of liquefaction.

The Crystal of Faith looks like a silver metal bead that looks unremarkable.

Only those with strong spiritual power can feel the rich power of faith contained in this small metal ball.

After rubbing for a while, making sure that the Omniscient Eye had recorded the information of the Crystallization of Faith, Pei Ze returned the thing.

"Thank you."

Yan Dong and the three of them were confused by this move, but they didn't want to ask too much.

Pei Ze had no intention of explaining, so he said goodbye to Yan Dong and the others and walked towards the counter.

"Omniscient, the technique of extracting the crystallization of faith from statues of gods and holy vessels."

[A task has been created, and it is estimated that it will take 325.2 energy levels to refine the Faith Crystallization Technology from the statues of gods and holy weapons]

"More than three hundred energy levels."

Pei Ze bowed slightly, this consumption is not large, and it can be completed in sixteen or seventeen days with full acceleration.

Thanks to the crystallization of faith as a reference, otherwise the spiritual ability required would definitely be more.

"When the task is completed, the spiritual energy level should almost reach the gasification limit."

After redeeming two Holy Spirit Buds at the counter, Pei Ze then went straight back to the stone house.

Stone house, in the bedroom.

Pei Ze sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the Holy Spirit Sprout in his hand.

The shape of the Holy Spirit Sprout is a bit like rice, but it is shorter and shorter, and the whole body is pure white, and it feels slightly cold to the touch in the palm of the hand.

"Just such a small plant, it will cost at least 3,000 magic stone coins to convert into magic stone coins."

Pei Ze sighed, sent the Holy Spirit Sprout into his mouth, swallowed it in his stomach in a few bites, and then closed his eyes, ready to withstand the impending impact.

After a few seconds, a strange spiritual impact arrived as scheduled, and Pei Ze's whole person instantly fell into a trance.

It was as if there were countless murmurs of chanting, prayer, and praise in my head.

One can clearly feel the fanaticism and piety contained in it.

This voice echoed as if it was about to assimilate Pei Ze, and he had to hold on to the sea of consciousness in order to resist the erosion.

I don't know how long it took, but the voice gradually faded, and Pei Ze's mind regained its clarity.

He opened his eyes, his brow furrowed slightly.

Although the voice in his head had disappeared, he still felt a strange sense of strangeness in his body.

"Is it because of the erosion of the power of faith brought about by taking the Holy Spirit Sprout?"

Pei Ze's expression moved, and he hurriedly 'looked' at the spiritual crystals in the depths of his mind, and sure enough, he found that about one-twentieth of the original crystal surface of the spiritual crystals was dyed with a layer of faint gold.

Obviously, this is the side effect of the sprouts of the Holy Spirit.

Pei Ze observed intently for a while, and found that this golden color would spread and expand the area.

Although the spread is extremely slow, it is almost impossible to see if you don't look closely, if you keep ignoring it, sooner or later, it will take over the entire spiritual crystal.

At that time, he will be assimilated into a follower of the Winter Frost Girl.

"The power of faith in these gods is like a virus, and it will also eat away at the soul and spirit of others everywhere."

Pei Ze couldn't help but slander for a while.

I'm afraid that the so-called fanatical believers of the Divine Spirit Sect have been eroded out step by step in this way.

Fortunately, with spiritual power, this erosion can be curbed or even eliminated.

"See how it goes."

Pei Ze summoned omniscient and took a look, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his spiritual power had increased by 2.12 energy levels at one time!

This effect is far more than unicorn essence blood and resonance potions!

"Yes, it's not in vain that there are so many side effects."

Pei Ze was delighted.

According to this effect, if you take the Holy Spirit Buds once or twice, plus the auxiliary cultivation of the resonance potion, you should almost be able to reach the limit of vaporization.

Having settled down, Pei Ze began to eliminate the erosion of the power of faith.

After that, in the time.

While eliminating the erosion of the power of faith, Pei Ze meditated and practiced as usual.

It took him half a month to completely eliminate the power of faith from the spiritual crystal.

"With my spiritual energy level of more than twenty, it will take half a month to eliminate the side effects of the Holy Spirit Buds, and if you change to an ordinary first-level gasification wizard, it will take at least three or four months to take the Holy Spirit Buds once."

The larger the volume of the spirit crystal, the more spiritual power there is, and the faster the recovery speed will naturally be.

Pei Ze was far beyond ordinary first-level gasification wizards in these two points, and even then it took half a month.

It can be seen that even if there are enough Holy Spirit Buds, ordinary wizards cannot quickly increase their spiritual power.

"That's the benefit of spiritual crystallization."

Pei Ze smiled and took out another Holy Spirit Sprout to take.

This time, it took him less than fourteen days to eliminate the erosion of the power of faith.

"Omniscience, detect my current state."

[Spirit 28.25]

[Constitution 17.39]

Looking at the data fed back by the omniscient eye, Pei Ze showed a happy smile on his face.

Over the course of this month, two Holy Spirit Buds, plus thirty bottles of potions, had consumed resources worth 1,500 merit points.

This is almost half a year's harvest for a first-level gasification wizard.

Fortunately, the results are still very gratifying.

Now as long as he increased his spiritual energy level by more than three points, he could start to condense his spiritual power.

"Now the effect of a bottle of Resonance Elixir has dropped to only 0.14 energy level."

Pei Ze quickly estimated in his heart that if he used the resonance elixir to assist meditation for a month at most, his spiritual power would increase to the 32 energy level.

"Let's just keep cultivating to the limit of gasification."

"It just so happens that the task of refining the crystallization of faith also takes time to complete."

Pei Ze glanced at the taskbar.

During this time, his spiritual power has been used to eliminate erosion, and he has basically not used it to speed up, and the progress of the task is still short of the spiritual energy level of more than three hundreds.

Next, while meditating and cultivating, I accelerated the task.

Until you break through to the liquefaction stage, then go out to earn merit points.

Pei Ze quickly had a plan and started a new round of cultivation.

And just when Pei Ze decided to continue the retreat, in a dim stone house, Pei Yonggao stared at a water mirror with an anxious expression.

On the smooth mirror surface, the exterior of the stone house where Pei Ze is located is impressively reflected.

"Damn, what the hell is this kid doing?"

Pei Yonggao's face was a little ugly.

In order to grasp Pei Ze's movements, he has been secretly monitoring Pei Ze.

But it's been more than a month, and Pei Ze is either cultivating in the stone house or going to the exchange, and he never leaves Red Maple City, so that he can't find a chance to start at all.

If it weren't for his sanity, Pei Yonggao would have been eager to rush directly into that stone house and kill Pei Ze now.

"Damn little brute."

Pei Yonggao gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice, and continued to monitor with strong patience.

In the dim light, a dark shadow loomed behind him, and there seemed to be a gust of wind in the air, causing many faint choking sounds.
