I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 172: In-depth Analysis of the Creation Pod and Resurrection Technique (two chapters in one, 7000 words)
"It's here!" Fang Yu pointed with Wilde's doting eyes at a boulder at the foot of the mountain that was at least ten meters high. The soil under the boulder quickly surged, forming a slope of more than ten meters, guiding the boulder that had lost its center of gravity to roll down.

After Fang Yu and Youzi jumped down from the mountain, they opened the arcane map and flew around the entire Omiz Peak to supplement the map information.

Finally, after six four-ring detection tests, an entrance information finally appeared on the map.

The entrance is located behind a large rock at the foot of the mountain.

After the boulder rolled away, a deep cave appeared on the mountain.

"Master, how did you know the entrance is at the foot of the mountain?" Yuzu asked curiously with purple stars appearing on her body.

Fang Yu chuckled: "Adrian's cozy little house only covers an area of ​​200 square meters. Does it need an absolute defense that can protect a radius of 5 kilometers and consume 50,000 magic crystals a day?"

"This mountain is more than 4,000 meters high. He placed the absolute defense on the top of the mountain, which can just cover the entire mountain. And among the hybrid creatures mentioned in the letter just now, quite a few of them cannot fly. For example, the scorpion-tailed bear, which is a hybrid of a scorpion and a bear, weighs more than 800 kilograms. Does he transport them down the mountain and release them every time?"

"So, there must be an exit at the foot of the mountain that leads to his life laboratory."

Fang Yu and Youzi used the detection technique to check again, and after confirming that there was no problem inside, they threw a lighting technique inside.

After all, it had been sealed for more than ten thousand years. Fang Yu took out a gas mask and put it on his head, then he and Youzi entered the mountain through the cave entrance.

The entrance of the cave is very large, and the diameter of the corridor inside is about eight meters, which is enough for three large trucks to travel side by side.

After walking for several hundred meters, a slope suddenly appeared in front of Fang Yu. After walking down the slope for dozens of meters, he seemed to have entered a huge dark cave.

"There seems to be a lighting array here, Master." Yuzu flew over a magic array, "Yes, that's right, as long as the magic crystal is placed, the lighting system will be able to resume working."

Fang Yu threw a 30-point diamond into the magic circle and injected a little magic power.

In an instant, the entire cave lit up.

Just like the Lorin Tower demiplane, no light source can be seen, but it is very bright, as if it were daytime.

"Wow! What a big deal! The mountain must have been hollowed out. What kind of creature does he want to create?"

Fang Yu looked at the scene in the cave in amazement.

He had flown around Mount Omiz before and knew that this stump-like mountain was about three thousand meters in diameter and about four thousand five hundred meters high.

But now, looking from afar, the diameter of this cave is about two kilometers, and the height, according to the size of the cave top shown in perspective, roughly calculated using trigonometric functions using the perspective formula, is at least 3000 meters high.

Around the cave, there are densely packed sealed glass culture chambers. Some of them are empty, while the creatures inside some have turned into a pile of strange-looking skeletons.

In the center of the cave is a complex and huge magic circle. A platform more than ten meters high is closely connected to the magic circle. There are broken pieces of glass all around it. Judging from the broken pieces, the thickness of the broken glass is at least fifty centimeters.

This platform... looks familiar.

Fang Yu slapped his forehead. Isn't this the base underneath those small culture chambers next to it? It's just that it's enlarged in the same proportion and is more complicated.

So... these broken pieces of glass are the fragments of the original culture chamber on this huge magic circle?
How big is this incubator?

What is being cultivated inside?
Could this thing be the mother nest mentioned in Adrian's letter?

Fang Yu thought about it and cast a 4-ring identification spell on the base.

name:??????

Function:??????

history:??????

Fang Yu couldn't help but take a breath.

This was the first time he encountered something that even the Four Rings Identification Technique could not identify.

This means that the level of this thing has far exceeded the 7th ring. It is at least a 9th ring Mathematical Olympiad facility, or possibly even higher!

This definitely couldn't be something that Adrian, a level 13 intermediate mage, could do. It could only be the work of the legendary mage Lisia!
Yuzu had no idea what this thing was, as there was no corresponding record in its database.

Oh, and try those small incubators.

Fang Yu found a small intact culture chamber and performed a four-ring identification technique on it.

This time, the identification technique successfully displayed the identification information.

Name: Creation Chamber (Replica), a five-ring arcane facility.

Function: The lowest level creation chamber, which can replicate the body of an ordinary organism or any designated part of the body with only one cell. However, the replicated organism has no spirituality and instincts, cannot breathe and have a heartbeat independently, and will lose all vitality within minutes after leaving the creation chamber.

Usage restriction: Arcane wizard level 7 or higher.

Nest grass!

Is this a clone?
No, it's not a clone. Cloned organisms are alive. It is obvious that what is copied using this creation chamber is just a body. Even biological instincts such as breathing and heartbeat do not exist.

This thing is good for cultivating transplant organs, and what is cultivated are autologous organs, so there will be no rejection reaction during transplantation.

However, it seems that it is of no use now, and I have no intention of developing in the direction of organ transplantation in the short term.

This thing is too sensitive, the inspection is very strict, and the market is not big, so there is no need to take the risk.

Fang Yu smacked his lips regretfully, then walked to a larger culture chamber and performed an identification spell.

Name: Creation Chamber (Hybrid), a seventh-ring arcane facility.

Function: Used to cultivate common hybrid organisms, fuse the life seeds of different organisms, and hybridize new life.

Usage restriction: Arcane wizard level 11 or higher.

I guess griffins are bred using this thing?
Are there different levels of this creation capsule?
In addition to these two types of creation capsules, there is also a larger creation capsule, but the four-ring identification spell is no longer effective for this type of creation capsule, which means that the item level of this creation capsule has exceeded the seventh ring.

It's a pity that these things are of no use to me and I can't use them in the short term.

Looking at the time, there was only half an hour left before the switching deadline, so Fang Yu prepared to move the big rock back and continue to block the cave entrance.

What was the nest used to cultivate? And why did it break apart? Did the things inside escape?

Creation Pod... What exactly is Adrian going to do? Is he really going to become a god?

and many more!

Fang Yu stopped, his eyes flickering: "Yuzi, the identification information of the ordinary creation chamber just now said that as long as there is a cell, a complete body can be replicated, and this body does not have any physiological reactions. This should be no different from a corpse, right?"

Yuzu thought for a moment and said, "Based on the description, it should be like this. Arcane mages have done very thorough research on death. After a human dies, his spirit diffuses into the astral world. When any intelligent creature is born, it will obtain spirit from the astral world. This is why life can continue to thrive."

"A body that loses its spirituality will lose all physiological reactions. From this perspective, this body created by creation is really no different from a corpse."

Fang Yu's breathing quickened a bit. "If you want to revive a person who has been dead for ten years and has no body, you need a 9th-ring Great Resurrection Spell. But if I use this Creation Chamber to create a new body for her, wouldn't the 5th-ring 'Resurrection of the Dead' be able to revive her?"

Yuzu was stunned, and after thinking for a while, she said, "It probably won't work, because he died too long ago."

"'Resurrection of the Dead' can only revive the dead who have passed away within 10 days. During these ten days, the spirits of the dead have not yet been widely dispersed in the astral world, so it is not difficult for the astral world to gather the spirits of the dead again."

"But if the deceased has been dead for too long, the spirit of the deceased has spread widely, and the cost required by the astral world will be greater. The 5th ring of 'Resurrection of the Dead' cannot meet this requirement."

After a person dies, their spirit enters the astral world, just like a drop of ink falling into the ocean. When it is first dropped, the ink does not spread too much, so it is not difficult for the astral world to collect the spirit of the deceased.

But if this drop of ink was dropped into the sea ten years ago, in ten years, this drop of ink has almost been diluted to the entire ocean. At this time, it would cost too much for the star realm to collect these spiritualities.

Therefore, if the deceased has been dead for too long, the difficulty of the spell will increase, because the conditions required by the astral realm will become more and more stringent.

If a person has been dead for more than two hundred years, there is no way they can be resurrected. This is because the soul returns to the astral realm every moment, and the astral realm divides the soul to newly born intelligent creatures every moment.

The total amount of spiritual energy in the astral world cycles approximately every 500 years. That is to say, if the deceased has been dead for more than two hundred years, it means that at least % of the spiritual energy that originally belonged to him has been redistributed by the astral world to new intelligent creatures.

What's worse, perhaps in the past two hundred years, a considerable portion of the spirits have already cycled two or three times and no longer bear the spiritual imprint of the original owner.

If a person loses more than 40% of his spirituality, he will have no consciousness after being resurrected, just like a walking corpse. There is no meaning in resurrection.

Hearing what Youzi said, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Compared with the "Great Resurrection" that can only be performed at level 17, the "Resurrection of the Dead" that can be performed at level 9 is undoubtedly a closer target for Fang Yu.

Fang Yu is no longer the arcane novice he was more than two months ago. He has come to understand more and more how difficult it is to improve the level of a mage.

Each level up requires more accumulation than the previous one, and the difficulty of practice will become greater and greater, and the speed will become slower and slower. Fang Yu has calculated that it will take at least one and a half months to reach level 4.

It takes longer to upgrade from level 4 to level 5.

At this rate, it may take two to three years to reach level 9.

And it might take another three or four years to reach Adrian's level 13.

In the Great Arcane Era, this speed of cultivation was unprecedented. Patrick O'Hill, the previously mentioned Son of the Demonic Web, the fastest leveling wizard in history, and the 41st level legendary wizard, was already 13 years old when he was promoted to level 42.

Adrian was officially promoted to level 51 arcane wizard when he was 13 years old.

By this time, they had all received over thirty years of arcane training.

As for the 17th level which is called the legendary reserve, haha, it is not a question of how much time it takes, but a question of whether you have the fate to do it.

Countless arcane mages are stuck at level 16, unable to take this step forward until they die of old age.

哪怕是帕特里克奥希尔，也是在自己88岁时才晋升的17级。从13级到17级这四级的距离，他走了46年！
It was more than all the time he had spent practicing before combined.

Fang Yu was most worried that even if he reached level 17, where he could master the Great Resurrection Technique, decades would have passed. By then, even if Fang Daqiang and his other relatives could use arcane magic to prolong their lives, would Chen Wanyu suffer memory loss or other problems after she was resurrected because she had lost too much spiritual energy?

This is something no one can guarantee.

Therefore, when Youzi told him that even if he created Chen Wanyu's body through the creation chamber, he would not be able to resurrect her with a 5th-level spell, Fang Yu was so disappointed and frustrated.

"But..." Yuzu hesitated.

"But what?" Fang Yu asked weakly.

Silver starlight appeared on Yuzu's body. "Master, what I am talking about now is just a study on resurrection in the Great Arcane Age. However, this study was terminated by the Supreme Mage before it entered the experimental stage because it violated arcane ethics."

"If the direction of this research is correct, after using the Creation Chamber to create the body of the deceased, it is indeed possible to use the 5th ring of 'Resurrection of the Dead' to revive the deceased who has been dead for more than 10 days."

Fang Yu was shocked, with an anxious look in his eyes: "What kind of research is this?"

Yuzu flashed again and again for more than ten seconds. "Due to the constraints of arcane ethics, I can only describe the principles of this research, and cannot restore a specific spell model for this research. And during the process of telling the story, any questions you ask me will not be answered. Do you want to continue listening?"

Fang Yu took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

"This research was led by the Basic Magic Research Institute of Kolande of the School of Life. At that time, some mages from the School of Spells and the School of Enchantment were also invited to participate." Yuzu chose her words carefully to avoid touching the arcane ethical laws in her body.

"Resurrection is actually a compound spell. In essence, the caster offers materials of equal value to the astral world, making a deal with the astral world and allowing the astral world to gather the spirits of the deceased together."

"While casting the spell, the life school part of the spell model will animate the body of the deceased. Then, the enchantment school part of the spell model will combine the spirit of the deceased with the body that has just been revived to achieve resurrection."

"The most difficult part is actually offering materials of equal value to the astral realm."

"Within ten days of death, you only need to replenish the Star Realm with magic crystals of equal value, because at this time, the Star Realm collects the spiritual power of the deceased and does not need to consume too much extra spiritual power."

"If the deceased has been dead for too long, the astral world needs to extract the deceased's spiritual energy from the entire astral world. In this process, the astral world will lose a considerable amount of spiritual energy. According to calculations, if a person has been dead for more than 30 days, the astral world will lose at least 10,000 more spiritual energy in order to extract the spiritual energy of this person."

"And if more than a year has passed, the spirit of the deceased has completely permeated the astral realm, and the astral realm will need to consume at least an additional 300,000 spirits."

“Although one million spiritual beings are only a drop in the ocean for the astral world, if there are too many losses, it may trigger a spiritual tide in the astral world.”

"The spiritual tide will cause all planes to be unable to obtain spiritual replenishment for a short period of time. During this period, all newly born intelligent creatures will suffer mental changes, or even be born without any spirituality."

"Therefore, without spiritual replenishment, the Astral Realm will refuse to search for the souls of any intelligent creatures that have been dead for more than ten days."

"And the only thing that can solve this problem is the Nine-Ring Great Resurrection Technique."

"The essence of the Great Resurrection Spell is to convert the arcane mage's spiritual power and the trade items sacrificed to the astral world into spirituality through the magic network, fully compensating for the spiritual loss of the astral world."

"Only mages above level 17 can convert mental power and traded items into spirituality."

"That's why even in the Great Arcane Age, when there are so many arcane mages who can cast the Great Resurrection, there is still such a long queue."

"Arcane mages also need to replenish their lost mental energy and cannot cast this spell too frequently. A 17th-level arcane mage will need at least ten years to replenish the mental energy lost each time he casts the spell."

Although Youzi was slow to get to the point, Fang Yu still listened attentively. This information seemed useless, but since Youzi could not provide the corresponding spell model, any bit of information was worth paying attention to.

"In TR 631, a research team from the Kolande Basic Magic Research Institute discovered a large burial pit that buried nearly people while cleaning up a site from the Age of Ignorance years ago."

"Initially, they thought it was the tomb of an emperor from the barbaric period, when the custom of human sacrifice was very common. Although the scale of this burial pit was unprecedented, it was not incomprehensible."

"But as the ruins were cleared, the researchers were surprised to find that this was not a tomb at all, but a large arcane magic array."

"And the only function of this magic circle is to sacrifice spirituality to the astral realm."

"After research, these researchers have made a bold guess that in the 30,000 years of ignorance, the shamans of certain tribes or countries had already mastered the art of resurrection. At that time, the objects of trade used to make up for the spiritual power of the astral world were not the spiritual power of the arcane wizard or other sacrifices."

"The sacrifices at that time were even more direct. They simply killed a corresponding number of intelligent beings and used their spirits to offer sacrifices to the astral realm!"

"They even figured out the exact number of sacrifices needed, which shows that this type of resurrection technique was already very mature at the time."

"And this inference has also been confirmed in the murals of another relic."

"The murals in another site clearly tell the story of how the witch king who ruled the area at the time, after a series of rituals, was resurrected 33 years after his death, and led his army to destroy several surrounding countries."

"As we all know, the arcane system had not yet taken shape during the Age of Ignorance. The highest level of shamanic witchcraft found in the ruins today is only equivalent to the current level of five-ring arcane magic. In other words, using the spirits of the dead to directly sacrifice to the astral realm, even if one only has the power of the five rings, one can still revive the dead who have died many years ago!"

"After reaching this conclusion, the Corlander Research Institute submitted a proposal to the Council of the Arcane Law. After three rounds of deliberation, it was rejected by the Supreme Mage."

"Master, this story is over."

The pomelo regained its pale yellow glow.

"Hu~" Fang Yu let out a breath.

No wonder this research was rejected by the Supreme Sorcerer.

Killing 30 people to save one person is indeed only possible in a slave society.

However, this is indeed a path.

It is definitely not possible to kill so many people. Even if I have the ability, I can't do such a thing.

But if you plan it carefully, maybe you can do it without killing anyone.

"Master, don't be too disappointed. Even though it takes a long time to reach level 17, you are the greatest genius in the entire plane. I have never seen any mage practice as fast as you. I believe that as long as you continue to practice, you will be able to reach level 17 in less than years."

Seeing that Fang Yu hadn't said anything, Youzi's body lit up with pink stars and she tried to comfort Fang Yu.

Fang Yu's eyes flickered. "Yuzi, the question I'm asking now has nothing to do with the topic of 30 people being buried alive. I'm just asking about spiritual issues after death. It shouldn't touch upon the rules of arcane ethics, right?"

Yuzu was confused, and the stars in her body flickered: "It depends on your question, Master. Do you really want to continue this research? If you really kill so many people and cause a shift in stance, the ethical laws in my body will automatically remove the control of your Eseron Core over me."

"At the same time, you will not be able to enter the Lorin Tower again."

Fang Yu shook his head: "Of course I won't kill so many people, you think too much, I just think that maybe I can have a better way to meet the requirements of the Star Realm."

Yuzu was skeptical and worried: "Well, you can ask, and I will answer you within the scope of arcane ethics."

"After a person dies, how long does it take for the soul to enter the astral realm?" Fang Yu took a deep breath and asked the first, and most important, question.

Yuzu's eyes twinkled. "This is just basic knowledge. It does not violate arcane ethics. On the seventh day after a person's death, their spirit will completely enter the astral world."

"It is precisely because one will enter the astral realm on the seventh day that the spell 'Resurrection of the Dead' is a fifth-ring spell. Most of the time, the spirit of the deceased has not yet entered the astral realm, so there is no need to sacrifice trading objects to the astral realm at this time."

"After seven days, until the tenth day, the gathering of spiritual energy has not yet been completely dispersed by the spiritual wave, and the astral realm can hand over this part of spiritual energy without having to pay any extra spiritual energy."

7 days? It seems that there is indeed a reason for the seventh day.

"Second question." Fang Yu thought for a moment, "Is there a spell or arcane device that can collect the spirit of a person who has just passed away naturally?"

Yuzu flashed again, "Your question states that it was a natural death, which does not violate the arcane ethics rules. I can answer it."

"Yes, after you obtain the 19th level authority of the Lorin Tower, bottles of spirituality will appear in the Piedmont Alchemy Company. Each bottle can hold spiritualities."

"If the deceased does not object during his/her lifetime, draw a corresponding magic circle under his/her body within seven days of his/her death. Then, this magic circle will guide the deceased's spirit through the magic net and be injected into the corresponding spirit bottle."

"This part is quite sensitive, but since the deceased died of natural causes and it was not against his will, it does not touch upon arcane ethics. Please choose your next question carefully."

Fang Yu's eyes flashed with excitement. So that's how it is. That's good.

"One last question." Fang Yu took a deep breath, "If too much spiritual energy is collected in one area, will it have any negative impact on the area?"

Yuzu was stunned, and the stars in his body flickered. After calculating for a long time, he said, "You have considered it very comprehensively, but there has not been much research in this area before. There was only a paper in TR877 that tracked and analyzed the spiritual changes in a certain area over a hundred years."

"According to the conclusion of this paper, the connection between the astral world and the plane world is indeed regional. If the spirituality of intelligent creatures in a certain area is not returned to the astral world on a large scale in that area, then the newly born intelligent life in this area may suffer from a general lack of spirituality."

"In other words, it means a lowered IQ."

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"I can rest assured that."
