Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 524 Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit
"After a wizard has a bloodline implanted, the first thing affected is his sea of ​​consciousness."

"Changes in the sea of ​​consciousness affect magical affinity."

"Magic affinity, in turn, strengthens mental power."

"Then the mental energy influences the body."

The explorer waved his hand, and several bright words appeared out of thin air:

[Bloodline → Consciousness → Magic Affinity → Mental Strength → Body]

Then he continued:
"The reason why it is said that the knight's cultivation is the lower level of the bloodline wizard in all aspects is because the knight's cultivation only extracts the operating mechanism of the spiritual power and the body from the bloodline wizard."

A black circle encircled two words floating in the void: [Mental Power → Body]

The explorer looked at Yarrow, "Little wizard, do you know the specific method to achieve this step?"

Yaro narrowed his eyes slightly: "Knight's Breathing Technique."

When he was taking the "Mental Power Detection" course at the academy, Yaro discovered that the pattern of the void energy tides at that time was an accelerated version of the "Knight's Breathing Technique" he had learned.

Furthermore, the relationship between 'void energy' and 'life force' is similar to that between 'fire element in the air' and 'fire magic'; their essences are very close.

Since we can use the accelerated version of "Knight's Breathing Technique" to help perceive mental power.

Conversely, one can also cultivate vitality through the Knight Breathing Technique.

"That's right, it's the Knight's Breathing Technique!"

The explorer reached out his hand, and the floating words "[Mental Power → Body]" flew onto his palm. He looked at the words and sighed softly:

"Unfortunately, without bloodline, no matter how much a knight imitates, he can only reach the level of [spiritual power], and cannot use [spiritual power] to reach the higher level of [magical affinity]."

Little wizard, you may not know this, but many monster bloodlines can actually mobilize [life force], which is one of the reasons why their bodies are so powerful.

Therefore, the bloodline wizards once had an idea.

It involves using various different demonic bloodlines, combined with some extraordinary magical plants, and employing potion-making techniques to annihilate these bloodlines through mutual impact, thereby creating a potion that only controls [life force], while also affecting [magical affinity]...

"Did you make it?"

"You've probably heard about the final product—"

The explorer peered at Yaro and uttered a few words: "Knight Breakthrough Potion."

"This……"

Yaro frowned slightly. "The Knight Breakthrough Potion is supposed to allow the body to generate its own [life force] and become a formal knight, right? I've never heard of it also having the effect of enhancing [magic affinity]?"

"So this hypothesis has failed. No matter how widely the 'Knight Breakthrough Potion' is circulating now, it is still a product of a failed experiment," the explorer said.

"Why did it fail? This guess sounds quite reasonable, doesn't it?" Yaro asked, puzzled.

“I’m not sure either,” the explorer shook his head, “but I’ve looked up a lot of information and I have a vague guess:”
—'The bloodline of demons may be similar to that of the material world, but it leans more towards consciousness and energy.'

Like an egg, it either hatches into a chick or it remains still; it's impossible for only part of it to hatch...

Yaro recalled a piece of knowledge from his previous life: 'genes' and 'hereditary factors'.

you get what you sow.

Since bloodline can grow into specific monsters, it naturally has its own 'genetic factors'. However, the carrier of these 'genetic factors' may not be a physical substance like DNA, but rather stored at the level of energy or consciousness.

After roughly understanding the logic, Yaro looked at the words floating in the air.

[Bloodline → Consciousness → Magic Affinity → Mental Power → Body] pondered:
"Explorer, do you mean that the core information of the bloodline is stored in the [Sea of ​​Consciousness]... or even at a higher level of the Sea of ​​Consciousness, and the subsequent effects are actually just the result of the influence of the core information..."

Just as the genetic information of organisms in the past was mainly stored in the cell nucleus, transcription and synthesis of RNA is the process of reading it.

The core information of a standalone computer program is mainly stored on the hard drive. Opening and running the software is simply a reading process.

According to the explorer, the influence of bloodline is also merely a process of reading.

"Making Knight's Potions is like really liking someone else's two-story building, but only wanting the second floor and not building the first..."

The explorer interrupted, "I should add that it's not that they don't want to build the first level; they want to build a first level that belongs to them."

"I see... they can't change the first floor, right?"

The genetic information of an organism is like software made up of strings of code. Even changing just one small number can cause the whole thing to collapse like building blocks.

Not to mention extensive modifications.

The way bloodline wizards create 'Knight Breakthrough Potion' is like manipulating an entire codebase.

The difficulty involved is something that programmers from previous lives have long understood.

The more widely the story of "shit mountain code" spread, the deeper the resentment of the programmers who suffered as a result.

"I don't know if other people have a way to modify the first layer; that's their business."

The explorer paused, then casually waved his hand, changing the direction of the arrow in mid-air, and said at the same time:
“However, I see another possibility with you, a possibility of building from the [body] without using the Knight Breathing Technique.”

In mid-air, the original order was:

[Bloodline → Consciousness → Magic Affinity → Mental Strength → Body]

The current order has changed to:
[Body → Mental Power → Magic Affinity → Sea of ​​Consciousness → Bloodline]

Looking at this new order, a sentence suddenly flashed through Yaro's mind, and he murmured it aloud:

"Refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, refine spirit into emptiness, refine emptiness into the Dao."

"Oh?" The explorer raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and said, "That's an interesting statement of yours, but could you explain it to me directly?"

"Ah, okay."

Yaro had always wanted to communicate with the explorer; otherwise, he wouldn't have translated these words.

"Refining essence into qi means exercising the body to accumulate 'life-related magic power'."

"The process of refining Qi into Spirit is what you mentioned before, which involves using accumulated 'life-related magic power' to touch one's own spiritual power."

"Refining the spirit and returning to emptiness means using spiritual power to change the affinity with magic and the sea of ​​consciousness."

Here, just like in the C language of the past, you should be able to input your own 'software information' through a human-computer interaction interface.

The "Magic Affinity" layer likely represents the creation of a single structure for the software, which can produce certain effects.

The "Sea of ​​Consciousness" layer might represent the creation of the complete software, which is now ready to run.

"The final 'refining emptiness and merging with the Dao' refers to the final result, a mature outcome."

Even if the software runs, it still needs further detailed modifications or improvements.

Only when it is fully mature can it be called 'Tao', or 'attained Tao'.
