Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 89 Overclocking Scan
"This thing is really good; it's a treasure for hunting sea monsters in bulk." Su You was pleasantly surprised.

Within a radius of two thousand miles, as long as no extremely powerful fourth-tier demonic beast appears, Su You can easily kill the opponent with the help of the energy cannon.

However, it would be inappropriate to actually sell these demon-attracting elixirs.

The Demon-Attracting Elixir was effective, but it exceeded Su You's expectations. Selling this stuff to those rogue cultivators wouldn't help them find sea beasts; it would just lead them to their deaths.

This stuff still needs further improvement. The area that attracts sea beasts with the Demon-Attracting Liquid is too large; it can attract sea beasts from a radius of about ten miles.

This is a very broad range.

Given the vastness of the sea, Su You estimated that there were at least several hundred sea monsters on the seabed.

Even if none of the sea beasts summoned are at the second tier, a Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't be able to hold out for long if hundreds of sea beasts attacked together.

"The luring range should be controlled to at least half a mile..." Su You pondered.

The target customers of the Demon-Attracting Elixir are cultivators at the Qi Refining stage. After all, Foundation Establishment cultivators have divine sense and can easily scan a range of several miles with a single glance. Finding sea beasts in the ocean is also easy for them, so they naturally do not need the Demon-Attracting Elixir.

Qi Refining cultivators lack divine sense and can only rely on their eyesight or throw down flesh and blood bait to search for sea beasts, which is naturally very inefficient.

"We also need to control costs and find ways to reduce them."

The cost of refining the Demon-Attracting Elixir is not low. The most basic material is the essence blood of demon beasts, along with various spiritual herbs. If the price is too high, those independent cultivators might as well spend more time slowly searching for it.

but……

Through this test, Su You discovered a new source of income: hunting sea monsters using the Wizard Tower.

The energy cannons inside the Wizard Tower can be freely adjusted in power, and there's no need to worry about destroying the bodies of sea beasts. Moreover, with the alluring spirit liquid, there's no need to bother searching for the scattered sea beasts.

Thinking of this, Su You immediately called out to Xiao Bei, "Xiao Bei, activate the overclock scan and see if there are any Nascent Soul realm sea beasts in the two thousand miles of sea, and record the level of all life forms within the two thousand miles."

"Yes, Master, activate overclocking scan!"

As Xiao Bei finished speaking, the spiritual liquid in the energy pool on the second basement level began to burn wildly, transforming into streams of boundless energy that flowed through the energy circuit of the wizard tower and ultimately poured into the scanning magic array.

Invisible ripples began to spread outwards, passing through islands and penetrating hundreds of miles into the seabed. Even islands equipped with third-order grand formations could not stop the ripples from scanning.

This time, the scan didn't produce results as quickly as before. A giant map slowly unfolded before Su You's eyes, a map radiating outwards from Luoxia Island.

Countless points of light on it began to twinkle.

"Remove the gray and white specks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the map appeared much emptier. There were thousands of green dots, but only a dozen or so blue dots, and none of the red dots representing the Nascent Soul stage.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Su You caused these points of light to appear in layers.

The upper part represents the energy level of the life forms on the sea surface. These should all be life forms on those islands. This part should all be humans, but their numbers are relatively small, with only ten Golden Core cultivators and more than nine hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The lower part represents the energy level of the sea creatures. This part should all be sea beasts. There are quite a few second-tier sea beasts, more than two thousand, and more than twenty third-tier sea beasts.

Su You carefully examined the map. Although it was divided into upper and lower layers, the orientation remained unchanged. Most of the human-shaped lights were in the south, while the sea monster-shaped lights were mostly in the north.

These images are likely due to the geographical location of Luoxia Island.

Luoxia Island is located in the outer area of ​​the Mingkong Islands. There are naturally too many islands outside that are suitable for cultivators to live on, so only the inner circle of the Mingkong Islands to the south is where a large number of cultivators live.

In areas where many cultivators are active, the number of sea beasts beneath the seabed is naturally extremely small.

This is also why there are many traces of sea beasts on the seabed to the north. That is the sea area outside the Mingkong Islands, where there are very few cultivators, so the number of sea beasts is naturally large.

After scanning the detailed information, Su You immediately asked Xiao Bei to turn off the scanning magic array. "Xiao Bei, in overclocking mode, how much energy is consumed? How much damage is done to the magic array?"

"Master, the overclocking scan is complete. Eight percent of the energy reserves have been consumed, and the magic array has suffered ten percent damage. Please repair it promptly, otherwise it will affect daily scans," Xiao Bei reported immediately.

"Eight percent of the energy reserves, that's quite a lot..." Su You was slightly surprised.

He has a lot of energy reserves now. This scan used so much energy, roughly equivalent to the energy accumulated over several years.

However, this is normal, as this time it was not just an overclocking scan, but also a very wide scan range and depth.

During the last large-scale scan, Su You did not scan those islands, penetrate those large formations, or scan the underwater life extensively.

This time, the power was turned up to the maximum, and the deepest scan reached a depth of 200 miles below the seabed.

The damage to the witch array is a minor issue; it can be repaired in just a few days.

Of course, this scan of life energy levels within a two-thousand-mile radius can only serve as a reference.

The information on those islands was roughly prepared, but beneath the sea, the Wizard Tower could only scan up to a depth of two hundred miles.

Within Yunting Lake, many sea areas are not just two hundred miles deep, but even several thousand miles deep.

It's quite normal for some high-level sea creatures to lurk deep in ocean trenches.

Sea beasts are different from monsters, especially higher-level sea beasts, which prefer to stay in deep places.

The deeper the place, the greater the pressure, making it a natural training ground for marine mammals.

Therefore, many high-level cultivators would rather hunt at Yunting Lake than search for demonic beasts in those mountains.

After all, the probability of encountering a large number of high-level demonic beasts is higher in those mountain ranges.

Although this scan was very expensive, the results were quite good.

If we could hunt down all these second- and third-tier sea beasts, the information would fetch at least tens of millions of spirit stones.

The wish is admirable, but in reality, even with the wizard tower's ranged attack capabilities and the sea monster distribution map, it's not so easy to hunt these sea monsters.
