The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 13, Ritual

Fugate currently has six projects in hand, three of which are related to himself, namely the improvement of ritual science, the localization of the Blood Moon Knight's breathing method, and the in-depth application development of elemental power.

The other three are the optimization and improvement of [Fuget Intelligence Development Potion], the research on mechanical mechanisms, and the research on various conventional alchemical potions.

Among them, Fuget has given up the idea of ​​completing the optimization of [Fuget Intelligence Development Potion] in a short period of time.

After all, this is a world of Teyvat where productivity is low, there are not many scholars, and there is basically no research on brain studies. It is not the world of "Earth OL" where brain studies, consciousness studies, etc. are very advanced.

Although the alchemy and elemental power here are very powerful, for Fuget who is not familiar with them, these are even more troublesome.

Otherwise, Fugate would not have thought of recruiting students.

Thinking of his students, Fuget couldn't help but smile. Although these six students came from different backgrounds, they were all people with strong personalities carefully selected by him and could withstand the extremely high-intensity study every day.

Then it's time to make these kids your apprentices.

By then, their potential will be further enhanced, and they will be able to play a greater role in various subsequent research.

As for whether these people have ulterior motives or will leave Xumi, Fugate is not worried about it. After all, he has already made such preparations.

And even if there are ulterior motives, Fugate is not afraid.

After all, Fuget now has the strength of LV40+. After unlocking the new constellation, Fuget himself feels that he is terribly strong.

Normally, they can suppress some elite mercenaries using Broken Wraiths.

As for the Gilded Brigade that enslaved complete Eredrs, Fuget had never fought against them, but he could feel that he was no match for them. But correspondingly, he could also sense that if he burst out with all his strength, he would not be weaker than those people's normal state.

Those people would not be a match for Fuget if they did not free Erling.

But once Erling is freed, Fuget will have no choice but to flee.

Fortunately, Fugate was a very fast runner, and for this he even developed an additional combat talent that was recognized by the system.

Combat Talent·Steam Speed: Replaces sprinting, sprays steam to speed up walking, hides in the water element, and quickly consumes physical strength at the cost of turning into water vapor to move quickly. In the steam state, you can move in the air. When you end the steam state and appear, the following effects will occur.

Releases steam power to apply water elemental force to surrounding enemies.

Condense the scattered steam into one-sixth of the steam water shield, and obtain a layer of steam water shield that can resist one attack.

"Today's teaching is over, and we will enter the question and answer session." said Fugate.

Today, Fuget taught the students how to configure the [Fuget Intelligence Development Potion]. Recently, there have been a lot of requests from those forces to buy it. Fuget didn't want to spend too much time configuring the potion, so he began to teach his students how to configure the potion.

"Teacher, why are most of the materials for the intelligence development potion experimented under the infection of grass elements?" Batu asked.

“Because of the symbolism,” Fugate said.

"Symbolic meaning? What is that?" The students were very curious.

"It's Lord King of the Great Compassionate Tree!" said Xiamian, a Tinal man who was born in the Temple of Silence and was more knowledgeable about mysticism.

Several other people from Xumi glared at Xiamian.

However, Fuget nodded in appreciation and said, "Xamien is right. The Teyvat grass element symbolizes His Majesty the Great Kind Tree King, who represents wisdom."

"The grass represents wisdom, the rock represents covenant, the wind represents freedom, the thunder represents eternity, the water represents justice, the fire represents battle, and the ice represents compassion."

"The seven symbols of the seven elements represent the seven majesties and the seven magical powers."

"You want to ask me about the principle? I don't know what the principle is. I just know that by processing in this way, the intelligence development potions produced are more effective than those processed by other elements. Not only are the effects better, but the side effects are also smaller."

"You can classify this as a gift from His Majesty the Great Kind Tree King."

"Um...why do you need to remove your makeup when refining the [Fuget Intelligence Development Potion]?" The one who asked this was the foreign student Hetala, but the desert citizen Samel was also very concerned about this.

As girls who love beauty, they had to wear light makeup for a long time because they came to study in Fugate. But they didn't expect that they would need to remove their makeup to refine a [Fugate Intelligence Development Potion]. It was simply life-threatening.

Fugate smiled and actually asked this question.

Several people looked at Fugate in shock. They really never thought that their teacher would actually laugh.

Fuget touched his face and said, "Although I lost my emotions due to the experiment, the sequelae are not impossible to eliminate. Now I can recover about half an hour of emotions every day."

"Back to the makeup question, didn't you realize during the previous experiments that the steps were all similar? Why is it that your failure rate and quality rate are not as good as others?"

"Because of cosmetics?" Hetala and Samel widened their eyes.

"The previous alchemical potions are not that difficult. Even the advanced focus potion is just more complicated." What he meant was that even if a tiny amount of cosmetic powder on your face falls off, it's no problem. At most it will affect the yield and quality rate.

"But you must be aware of the difficulty of this intelligence development potion. It is a potion comparable to a fine work of art."

"You must strive for perfection when refining, otherwise the crucible of priceless materials will be wasted."

"Not even the slightest interference is allowed."

Hetala and Sameer swallowed.

"Any other questions you would like to ask?" asked Fugate.

The next few people asked some more questions, some about material processing and some about pharmaceutical principles.

Fugate answered very briefly.

Soon, when Fuget's consciousness was about to fall into self-destruction again, Fuget said to several students.

"You have followed me for quite some time, so are you willing to become my apprentice?" Fugate asked expressionlessly.

The six students agreed without much thought, and Fugate nodded with satisfaction, feeling that it was worth it for him to be so nice to them.

"Then tomorrow, June 6, you will come to me at 6 a.m. and I will perform the ceremony. I want to emphasize that the six of you need to come together at 6 a.m. on time."

"Is this part of the ceremony?" Xia Mian said. The others felt a little uneasy because they had never participated in any ceremony or anything like that.

Fuget nodded expressionlessly and handed the pocket watches he had prepared to the others. Only then did the others realize that the time their mentor had been emotional was over.

···The dividing line of Fugate's preparation ceremony···

"Light the incense at midnight." A mysterious force enveloped the entire six-story manor of Fugate.

"Pray quietly for a moment." The power of psychic energy spread throughout the six-story manor.

"Bathe your body and mind at two o'clock." The entire manor became clear, and a few wisps of black air dissipated.

"Please witness it at three o'clock." Fugate respectfully hung up his Eye of God high up. It was the eye of Sky Island and represented the order of this world.

"Holy water prepared in four seasons." Under the guidance of Fuget, the water element was infected with psychic energy and gained a certain amount of subspace power. This is holy water. Fuget will use the holy water to wash the six students.

"Five times to make a road." Fuget lit the candles at key locations. These candles connected the six manors that had now formed an independent space with the present world.

"At six o'clock, all the wise men will arrive."

This sentence was not said by Fuget, but by Fuget's essence vibrating the space. Then the six apprentices took six seconds to walk into the manor, then wandered around the manor, and took six minutes to enter the ceremony venue, which was exactly the same time as entering the manor, not a second off.

The ceremony prompted the six apprentices to take action, and then Fugate baptized the six apprentices through six steps.

However, what Fuget did not expect was that after the baptism, the Eye of God that he had worshipped high up actually guided six Eyes of God to descend from the sky.

Fuget raised his eyebrows. This seemed like he was going to be under surveillance to death, but Fuget was not worried.

Continuing to complete his ritual, finally six stable and huge anchor points fell on the six apprentices.

Fuget's essence was also liberated to the third stage, which means that he can regain consciousness from self-destruction for six hours every day.

The time was exactly 7:06:06.

It took a total of sixty-six minutes and six seconds.

Before, Fuget had always thought that this was the second stage, but with the liberation of his essence this time, Fuget had a deeper understanding of his own essence.

It turned out that his previous thirty-six minutes were the second stage, and there was also a first stage of six seconds a day before that, but because of the help of the system, Fugate skipped it directly.

But now is not the time to thank the system.

Fuget was ready to thank his system later. Now the most important thing for Fuget was to comfort his six apprentices whose brains had crashed because of the Eye of God.

Among them, Shamian the Tinale obtained the Eye of God of the Lightning Element. According to ancient legends, Hermanubis, the wisest of all wise men and the priest of all priests, was the one who wielded the Lightning Element. So is this an ancient awakening?
Then there is the rebellious Batu, who naturally obtained the God's Eye of the Ice Element, and seems to have certain healing abilities, which fits Fuget's stereotype of Batu very well. This guy also wants to enter the Health Home after graduation.

Hetala is an international student from Mondstadt. Her divine eye is the element of wind, making her worthy of being from the Kingdom of Wind.

Sameer comes from the desert. Her God's Eye element is fire. She is indeed a passionate and energetic person.

Baanka from Baoshang Street, his God's Eye element is rock. Now he finally got what he wanted. With the God's Eye with rock element, he can use the rock element to condense things like gems. Of course, this requires Baanka to practice the control of rock element to an extremely high level.

Kuru from the Grand Bazaar, his God's Eye is the grass element, which is puzzling to Fuget, because Kuru is the one with the simplest mind here, so simple that he only wants to learn knowledge. Perhaps this is why he fits the grass element.

Then he looked at his own God's Eye of Water Element hanging in the witness position. Tsk~how could he have collected all seven elements of God's Eye at once?

He hung the Eye of the Water Element God from the witness position back around his waist.

"It's time for the new god-favored one to come back to his senses." Fuget said in a slightly joking tone.

"Teacher, this..." Xia Mian was so excited that he could hardly speak.

That’s right, the holder of the Eye of God is very special. While being called the Original God, he is also called the One Favored by God.

In this age when gods still walk the earth, becoming an original god is not only a way to gain power, but also a recognition of humans by the gods. After obtaining the Eye of God, one's status will be elevated.

"Although I know that you are very happy to have obtained the Eye of God, I still advise you to calm down. Go drink a bottle of H emotion suppressant and then start today's experiment."

With the end of the ceremony, the independent space covering the six-story manor had disappeared. When several people came out of the basement, the sun was shining on the earth.

Fuget talked to the system in his heart, thanked the system sincerely, and then went to the kitchen to cook for the six apprentices. Hetala, Samel and Hetala's maid came in to help.

The maid had been staying outside before. She was actually quite worried about the safety of her young lady. However, after the ceremony began, the space became independent and she couldn't get in at all. Fortunately, the young lady was safe and sound in the end and even became a person favored by God.

Just kidding, Fugate had already anticipated that there might be problems, so he had already taken everything into consideration.

At that time, unless a demon or a demon's followers attacked the Sixth Layer Manor, the ceremony would be foolproof.

What if someone really comes? We still have the Great Compassion Tree King. After all, this is Xumi City. Fgate doesn't believe that anyone would dare to do this at this time.

The ashes of the Great Compassion Tree King were scattered to him. Do you really think that the Great Compassion Tree King is just a useless person?
"Why doesn't the tutor hire someone to clean the room?" asked Hetala.

"The instructor is like you, not a local, but an outsider. He doesn't have many familiar people here." Fuget said, "Besides, alchemy is a sophisticated subject. If someone who doesn't know the subject comes to deal with it."

Fuget shook his head and Hetala nodded to show that she understood, just like Hetala would never let her maid enter the place where she conducted alchemical experiments... It was not that Hetala was so diligent, but that she knew how dangerous alchemical potions were.

If she is not careful, Hetala will lose the maid who has grown up with her.

The next day, several people who took emotion suppressants successfully completed their studies for the day.

What Fuget taught them today was elementology, which was something that few people in the academy had achieved results in researching.

The few of them then went to the library with the list of books given by Fugate.

"Since he has become my apprentice, I can't just ignore him." Fget sighed and decided to speed up the analysis of [Blood Moon Knight Breathing Method].

I have analyzed it carefully for a while and have some clues, but now it seems that I can't work on it slowly.

In order to increase the self-protection ability of several apprentices, this breathing method alone is not enough.

So Fugate took the time to write down his sword skills and even drew pictures to illustrate them.

In the following days, Fugate informed several apprentices that some additional physical training and intellectual development training would be added every day. As for the development of elemental power, it would depend on themselves.

The situation of each person and each element is different, and they can only rely on themselves for the subsequent development of the Eye of God.

But Fuget can still help a little, such as basic physical fitness and combat training.

For this purpose, Fuget found the best blacksmith in Xumi City and asked him to recast and strengthen his [Kanreya Standard Low-level Noble Sword (three stars)].

For this purpose, Fuget redesigned a two-handed sword-style long sword, which is more in line with its own characteristics and can be regarded as Fuget's exclusive weapon. Fuget named it [Slayer (four stars)].

The blacksmith was very satisfied with Fuget's design. After obtaining Fuget's consent, he spent 300,000 Mora to buy out the design.

In addition to reforging his own two-handed sword, Fuget also designed weapons for several of his disciples.

The light one-handed sword [Firefly (three stars)] is for the girls, and the boys all have a reduced-specification version of the Slayer [Slayer (three stars)].

These knives were made by Fuget based on his own experience in using weapons, and they were ergonomically designed. So Fuget had tried them and found them to be very easy to use, much more convenient than his own [Kanria Standard Low-level Noble Knife (three stars)].

Of course, Fugate did not forget to order some one-handed and two-handed swords for practice.

After instructing the blacksmith shop to deliver the goods to his home, Fugate returned home.

Speaking of the weapons of Teyvat, they are still very magical. They can grow with experiences such as battles, adventures, and learning. For example, the [Kanria Standard Low-level Noble Sword (Three Stars)] before it was recast, this sword has been with Fuget for several years.

After experiencing a considerable degree of collision, if it were a sword from the world of "Earth OL", no matter how sophisticated it was, it would probably be scrapped. However, Fuget's [Kanria Standard Low-level Noble Sword (Three Stars)] is different. It seems to have grown with Fuget's growth.

When Fuget sent it for recasting, not only was it not damaged, but it had grown much stronger than when Fuget first got it. It was sharper and tougher. In addition, Fuget had been using refined forging ore to promote its growth, so it was successfully upgraded to a four-star weapon during the recasting.

Of course, four stars is a system evaluation. According to the blacksmith, it is an epic weapon that can be passed down for a long time and is qualified to participate in epic wars.

As for the three-star weapons, they are well-made standard weapons.

Two-star weapons are the most common, and are used by most mercenaries.

Most of the one-star weapons are special training tools. Although they have killing power, it is not great. Some of them are even not sharpened to avoid accidentally injuring the trainees.
