Chapter 87: A New Meditation Formula
Chapter 87: A New Meditation Formula
"Phew~ Finally done," Qin Muye said, looking rather disheveled.
At the moment, he was not in his territory but in a remote corner of the underground world, which he had converted into a temporary laboratory. It wasn't that he didn't want to conduct experiments in his territory.
Mainly, seven days ago, when he was experimenting with the high-concentration core of the crimson element, it exploded. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the entire mage tower would have been contaminated by the crimson element.
Then he realized something: dangerous tasks like this should be kept far from his territory.
He brought along a dozen spirits, three of whom were guarding the bidirectional portal, used to relay messages from Mo Xue and the others to Qin Muye. The rest were responsible for protecting Qin Muye's safety and taking care of his daily needs.
The smaller number had its advantages. Qin Muye could immediately use the hyper-spatial teleportation channel to transport himself and the experimental data to safety. If there were more, there would be a delay.
Over the seven days, Qin Muye made significant progress in his research on the crimson element. He even managed to test out a magic conversion formula.
It was a special meditation technique derived from elemental meditation, which Qin Muye named the Crimson Meditation Technique (Test Version).
In theory, if one used the Crimson Meditation Technique to meditate on the crimson element, it would convert into crimson magic, a new type of energy that, in terms of quality and versatility, far surpasses ordinary magic.
Qin Muye was a bit hesitant to use it, though. After all, this was just theoretical data and experimental results, and it hadn't been put into practical use yet.
There was a 10% chance of an estimation error.
More importantly, Qin Muye's goal was not the crimson element core but the source of the crimson element, that crimson flame.
He was cautious, but not foolish. If he was going to take something, he would take the best. There were risks, but they wouldn't endanger him, so he naturally preferred the better option.
His research on the crimson element core was primarily aimed at figuring out how to obtain the crimson flame.
To learn the basic information about the crimson flame, he needed to add it to his inventory and make it his own. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to investigate what it was. During the adaptation period, he could directly investigate, but after the adaptation period, this rule was removed. That's why Qin Muye had to go to such lengths.
But he wanted to take it and was afraid of the danger, so he had to develop a corresponding isolation method first.
Thus, the Crimson Meditation Technique was the means he developed to handle it. His idea was simple: use the conversion formula of the meditation technique to build a container, and use the external characteristics of the crimson element to create a power station.
In other words, to boil water. This way, the reform of Qin Muye's territory would be much simpler. With the energy problem solved, many other issues would become less significant.
This way, not only would the energy problem be solved, but the Red Wind Disaster would also stop expanding due to the disappearance of the crimson flame.
The annual Red Wind Disaster was caused by the crimson element prompting large-scale decay and assimilation of elements in the air, which was also due to the forced suction of the crimson flame.
Therefore, as long as Qin Muye incorporated the crimson flame, he wouldn't have to worry about the Red Wind Disaster in the short term. However, the existing crimson elements and the crimson element core wouldn't disappear; it would take at least thousands of years of elemental erosion for them to vanish.
According to Qin Muye's estimate, the crimson flame was at least of the divine artifact level. Without even mentioning its ability to originate from the same source as divine sprouts and divine cores, its power was even greater than these two, absolutely not to be underestimated.
Qin Muye had witnessed the power of divine artifacts and epic items; each one was capable of altering the situation in a territory and even facilitating its rise.
Who could ever have too much of such things?
However, upon closer consideration, it seemed that there were a bit too many of these items in the Lord Era due to its intervention. At least ten divine artifacts were held by the top ten on the leaderboard, which was why they could rise so quickly.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Each of their territories, just by name, was extraordinary. How could his small, broken mage tower possibly compare?
Qin Muye even speculated that these lords' professions were all epic-level, unlike his, which was just ordinary.
Thinking about professions reminded him of something. He remembered that his previous advancement task seemed to have added a profession slot for him. Could he take up the profession of a mage?
But after some thought, he gave up on the idea. The mage profession wasn't very useful for him since he didn't engage in combat. He preferred a profession that could help him survive or enhance his learning and research.
Survival skills were always in demand, and learning and research were key to the development of his territory, ensuring his safety.
So, the mage profession was immediately ruled out. For ordinary professions, unless they truly suited him, a new profession had to be at least rare-level. As for epic-level? He might as well go to bed and dream about it; luck wasn't something he could count on every day.
For example, during the Dragon Blood event, his faction couldn't even get involved, only managing to acquire some dragon corpses.
If he could, Qin Muye would have chosen the Scholar profession for his empty slot. Unfortunately, Lord Era didn't allow it. Otherwise, the combination of two academic research professions would have been quite formidable.
Among the ordinary professions, he favored the scholar's talents the most. The talents of other professions simply didn't suit him.
Suitability was the most important factor, not combat strength. The scholar profession's combat strength could be considered the weakest, but it didn't stop it from being incredibly valuable for Qin Muye, potentially matching that of an epic-level profession.
Without the scholar profession, Qin Muye wouldn't have been able to lead such a large team.
"Data collection is complete. This laboratory can be sealed up. Take everything that needs to be taken, and leave nothing behind. We'll come back here for any high-risk experiments in the future."
Actually, conducting experiments in his territory was safer, but the territory's limited equipment and protections made it unsafe. For example, if the crimson element research had exploded, at least half of his territory would have been destroyed.
So, for now, he could only temporarily harm the underground world. If the underground world were destroyed, it wouldn't be Qin Muye's problem. After all, he still had the land of the undead, and besides, the underground world was vast and wouldn't miss the small area he destroyed.
Fortunately, it didn't explode; otherwise, Qin Muye would have had to find a new place for his next high-risk experiment. It wasn't good to always exploit the same place.
"Tsk, I feel like I'm becoming more and more unscrupulous lately." Qin Muye realized that since he embarked on this path, he had been doing more and more things that were harmful to others but beneficial to himself.
"And I don't know if it's my imagination, but I seem to be becoming less sensitive to things outside my territory?"
