The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 584: Strange World

Hearing the voice, Bai did not turn around immediately.

He recognized this voice. On that night, the owner of this voice used Taoism to almost trap and kill him. And the medium through which Taoism affects people is the eyes.

"Evil ghost, can you deal with Taoism?"

"Taoism? What is that? A new practice?"

Seeing that Richard didn't know, Bai closed his eyes, turned around and drew his sword to face the owner of the voice.

"Thief, tell me your name."

"...What a nice knife. I didn't expect to encounter such a treasure while staying here."

The Taoist's voice became more serious, and Shura's murderous aura caused the temperature in the whole yard to drop by several degrees. A weapon with such power, even if it was not on the list of famous weapons, would probably not be much different.

"I suggest you open your eyes. I don't think the illusion of the guy in front of you can break through the mental barrier of the mental protection necklace."

Richard's voice rang in Bai's ears. As a wizard, although Richard had not conducted a systematic and in-depth study of illusion, when he knew that the Galaxy Mayfly had the ability of illusion, he still intensively studied the knowledge about illusion for a while.

Although this knowledge is not much, it is enough to crush the knowledge of these natives.

"Of course, if this guy is using an optical illusion, that's another story."

Bai heard this and slowly opened the replaced eye, and the moment he opened his eyes, the Taoist moved.

"Close it and open it again, what an idiot."

The Taoist mocked with his mouth, but his hands moved as fast as lightning, and the spells required to perform the illusion were completed in an instant.

hum!
A beam of white light shot out from the Taoist's eyes and headed straight for Bai's head. But the next moment, the beam of white light hit an invisible barrier and shattered instantly.

Pfft!

The Taoist turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood. Even Bai, who was used to fighting, could not help but be stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.

What's going on? Does performing a Taoist technique require such a heavy price?

"Don't just stand there, go and kill him. This guy failed in casting a spell and was attacked by the spell. What a useless spell. If it is resisted, it will be attacked by the spell."

Richard's voice was filled with disappointment. He thought he would see a new path of evolution, but what he saw was a crappy piece of junk.

Bai moved and instantly appeared next to the Taoist.

Without the cover of the illusion, Bai finally saw the Taoist's appearance clearly - an old werewolf with long black hair and one blind eye.

boom!
Bai swung his sword, but the blade seemed to hit nothing and passed directly across the Taoist's neck.

Illusion? No, it's not an illusion!

As soon as the blade pierced through his body, the Taoist's body shook violently and exploded into a ball of white mist that blocked his vision.

Bai alertly sniffed around, but before he could find any clues, Richard's voice rang in his ears.

But compared to the loss just now, Richard's voice was full of excitement at this moment.

"Thirty meters southeast. Use the prosthetic capture net!"

Turning around and raising his hand, the two middle fingers of Bai's left arm prosthesis retracted, while the rest of the fingers were all extended.

hum!
A ball of white light flew out from the prosthetic wrist and turned into a large net in the air, tightly binding the Taoist who had escaped by sleight of hand.

Bai walked out of the smoke and came to the Taoist cautiously. Richard's voice sounded in his ears: "Ask him how he can transform his body into energy."

"…I don't think he understands you."

"...It is really difficult to communicate with the natives." (Wizard's words)
"What do you call the energy in your body? It's what you use up when you use various combat techniques."

"Qi, we call this thing Qi."

"Then ask him how he managed to turn his body into gas and then restore it to its original state."

Bai was a native with no experience, but Richard, the wizard, was well-informed. The way the Taoist dodged the fatal blow was not some strange sorcery, but an extremely advanced technology - the transformation of matter into energy.

Translated, this means converting matter into pure energy and back again.

Moreover, the Taoist did not transform ordinary things, but his own body, which was more difficult than transforming ordinary dead objects.

Richard had never heard of this method in the wizarding world. This technical hypothesis was only mentioned in the evolutionary path of the great wizard Garlon.

But he didn't expect to see this top technology on a poor native of the indigenous world.

What does this amount to?
This is equivalent to discovering an isolated primitive tribe in the rainforest. The people of this tribe are still hunting with stone spears, but the bonfire they are using is a nuclear fusion reactor.

Bai repeated Richard's words and added some useless questions of his own, such as who is the mastermind behind you?

"You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you. Why waste your breath?"

The Taoist's tough attitude did not surprise the two. He moved his body expressionlessly, preparing to use some inhumane means to get what he wanted.

But Richard felt that Bai's method would not be effective, so he had to rely on him. "Boy, I'll give you a bug. Put the bug on this guy's wound, and then you don't have to worry about it. Be careful, don't touch it with your body."

As he spoke, a space crack appeared in Bai's left arm, and a black flesh worm fell out of the crack. Bai looked at the black flesh worm and placed it on the Taoist with half belief and half doubt.

The moment it touched the Taoist's body, the originally obedient flesh worm instantly moved. The worm opened its mouthparts, which were full of sharp fangs. As the mouthparts opened and closed, the worm drilled into the Taoist's body along the flesh and blood like a drilling machine.

Then Bai heard a creepy scream.

The Taoist priest who had been burrowed into the body by the bugs was like being thrown into a frying pan, and he began to struggle frantically. His eyes were wide open, his veins were bulging, and his body was as hard as a rock because of the force, all of which showed that this Taoist priest was experiencing extremely severe pain.

"Blow on this whistle."

Richard's voice rang out again, and a metal whistle instantly fell into Bai's hands through a space crack.

Bai blew gently, and a low-frequency sound wave that was inaudible to the naked ear came out of the whistle. The Taoist who had been struggling frantically calmed down instantly.

Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of the Taoist's body like rain. The Taoist, who had been so strong just now, now had a face full of fear.

"Can you answer now?"

The Taoist's body trembled violently, and Bai's heterochromatic pupils now looked like the gaze of an evil spirit.

"I am just a wandering Taoist priest with good luck. I don't know who is the master of this world. As for the Taoist technique you mentioned, it is to gather form and disperse qi. If you want to learn it, I can teach you. Don't bother with that bug anymore!"

"Taoism..."

Richard, who was a light year away, pondered over this word. The word "Taoist" was said very poorly, like a direct transliteration of some word.

"Could it be that this world has been invaded before?"

"Evil ghost, have you really never heard of Taoism?"

Bai's voice was transmitted to Richard through the soul connection, leaving Richard somewhat confused.

"No."

"...Then you died a long time ago."

"What do you mean?"

"Taoism comes from the fairyland, which was created ten thousand years ago."

"Fairyland?"

The "Xianxiang" mentioned by Baikou is a combination of words. The "Xian" in the front is the transliteration of some other language, and the "Xiang" in the back is their own language.

In Richard's ears, this fairyland was the home of something unknown.

Bai whispered, "The Fairyland is where the immortals live. Ten thousand years ago, the Fairyland descended from outer space and overthrew the White Wolf King's rule. Since then, the world has become the world of the aristocratic families. The immortals teach the aristocratic families the art of longevity, and the aristocratic families shepherd the immortals in the Fairyland and provide them with elixir materials and immortal fate."

“…It’s a bit interesting.”

Listening to Bai's narration, Richard could roughly infer what the world was like.

If everything Bai said is true, then ten thousand years ago a fragment of a big world should have collided with this world and then merged into this world.

As for why it is the big world... because this magic is definitely not a technology that the natives can possess, it must come from a civilization, a very advanced civilization.

But what puzzled Richard was why those immortals did not exercise more in-depth control over this world, but instead chose a strategy of almost laissez-faire.

There must be a huge secret behind this.

"Ask about that so-called Taoist technique, and the rest is up to you."

"...Evil ghost, aren't you afraid?"

"afraid?"

Bai whispered, "The Immortal overthrew the White Wolf King's rule. You should know how powerful the White Wolf King is. And I am here to make an enemy of the Immortal."

The noble families have to provide the fairyland with elixir materials and immortality, and in return, the fairyland will teach the noble families the Taoism. However, the whole world is ruled by the seven fairyland walkers, and the elixir materials and immortality in the hands of the noble families that can be exchanged for Taoism must first be paid to them, and then they will be handed over to the fairyland, and the immortals' Taoism is also handed over by them.

In this way, only the Immortal Country Walker would know whether the noble family had obtained the Taoist magic. In order to maintain its dominance and prevent the Immortal Country Walker from falling into the hands of other noble families, the Immortal Country Walker would naturally intercept as much Taoist magic as possible.

Unless, the noble family can take out a rare treasure, then set up an altar to worship the immortals and let the immortals come to the world.

After an immortal is born, a noble family can replace a certain immortal family and become the new immortal family.

Therefore, all the ambitious families in this world are trying every means to obtain rare elixir materials and immortal opportunities.

There are many kinds of elixir materials, from certain minerals to certain special magical plants, all of which can be excellent elixir materials. But as the shadow guard of the young master of the Quan family, he knows more about elixir materials than ordinary people.

In addition to medicinal minerals, the material for the elixir can also be a wild beast, or a person with special bloodline.

A month ago, the young master of the Quan family awakened a noble bloodline. Although Bai didn't know who the source of that bloodline was, he thought it wouldn't be a weak person.

Otherwise, how could any noble family be willing to spend a large sum of money to gather wandering Taoist priests and so many warriors to snatch the young master of the Quan family?
