Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 121 I was tricked by this woman

"Of course I want to! Are you in Songcheng?"

Wang Teng licked his lips, and after being teased like that, he suddenly had that kind of thought.

"No, I'm on a mission right now. I'll be back in about a week." A playful voice came from the other end of the phone.

Wang Teng's face darkened; he'd been fooled by this woman!

"Let's talk about it when you get back. I went to the North Corner of Zhuoyuan this time and got some good stuff that will be useful to you."

"You went to Zhuoyuan...?"

"that is……"

……

The two talked on the phone for a while before hanging up.

Inside a village pavilion, Leng Qing sipped hot tea, watching Tang Yue's affectionate expression; she was undoubtedly chatting with that man.

"Sister Leng, I remember you're currently majoring in earth magic, and you don't seem to have a soul seed yet, right?"

Tang Yue asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"Yeah, soul seeds aren't that easy to find. I'm still using spirit seeds."

"I've heard that Soul Seeds might appear at overseas auctions; I plan to check it out when I have time."

Leng Qing didn't shy away from the topic; there was nothing wrong with talking about it.

Tang Yue pondered for a while and decided to tell her something: as far as she knew, Leng Qing's background was not simple.

"Wang Teng has an Earth-type Domain Soul Seed!"

"What?" Leng Qing seemed to be hallucinating. She stared intently at Tang Yue, only then realizing that she hadn't misheard.

"Wang Teng has an earth-type domain soul seed, but he needs either the Star Sea Heavenly Vein or the Star Sea Magic Artifact, both of which he currently lacks."

"Within the Trial Council, there are currently no such resources available for exchange. They were exchanged not long ago, and it's unclear when they will be available again."

Tang Yue had also mentioned this to her uncle Tang Zhong, and received the following reply: both items are extremely valuable, and exchanging them requires a great deal of contribution.

Many high-ranking individuals are eyeing resources like the Star Sea Celestial Vein. As an elite organization, the Judgment Council has no shortage of high-ranking mages among its members.

However, super-level mages are extremely rare, and they are basically at the level of deputy chief judge or above. They have higher authority and greater exchange privileges.

Some people have tried to exchange for it more than once, but even so, they still haven't been able to break through to the Super Rank. There are quite a few people who have failed.

After using it twice, Xinghai Tianmai stopped working. The first time was the best, but the second time the effect was less than half.

He can help with the exchange, but you need resources first; everyone knows how rare super-tier resources are.

"Is that so..." Leng Qing's eyes flickered. She did have other channels, but she wasn't quite sure if she could obtain them.

But with an earth-elemental soul seed right in front of her, she didn't want to let it go. Such an opportunity was rare, and if she encountered it this time, who knew if she would have another chance?

Most mages prefer to engage in resource trading, as it makes acquiring the resources they need easier.

"Have him keep that soul seed for me, and I'll try to find those two resources for him."

After thinking it over for a while, Leng Qing decided to ask Old Man Bao for help. Although he had retired, the man still had connections and resources.

"Okay, I'll message him right away." Tang Yue was secretly pleased. This was a win-win situation. She had deepened her relationship with Leng Qing and gained another source of resources.

Wang Teng casually pulled out a black essence, which he had secretly extracted from the white-clothed man's soul while he was making his move.

Mind-based soul control is something that only advanced players encounter. He mastered this ability very quickly, building upon his existing emotional control abilities.

Finally, he created a unique soul-related ability: Soul Binding and Soul Control!

It abandons all other miscellaneous abilities and focuses solely on dealing with souls. It can capture the souls of living beings, and once successful, it can gain absolute control over them.

"This is the first time I've seen a spirit of this color. No wonder she's known as the Poisonous Woman; her soul is this black."

As Wang Teng observed, he also used his mental power to delve deeper into the scene. The images unfolded like watching a movie, with three magic systems suspended in the depths of his soul's spiritual world.

Is this a recession?

He carefully observed the mind and curse systems within, noticing that the galaxies and nebulae were shrinking and the magical energy was gradually dissipating.

He discovered something: the magical energy directly dissipated into the void, and the soul seemed unaffected, just like mental energy, appearing to be an inert insulator.

Or rather, without certain conditions being met, the soul and magical energy will not fuse.

This is somewhat similar to his initial fusion of life force and magic energy; without deliberate fusion, the two will not come into contact and fuse.

Demons are born that way; they have a genetic predisposition. Humans do not have this genetic predisposition unless they are a hybrid of demon and human.

This is why they are born with the ability to absorb magical energy for cultivation.

What happens when souls merge with magical energy?

Wang Teng fell into thought. In his existing knowledge, magical energy possessed the characteristic of being indestructible; it would only change with environmental changes, forming various types of magical energy with different attributes.

Whether a mage casts a spell or a demon unleashes a demonic art, it is merely a change in the state of magical energy; it will not perish in itself.

As demons deepen their cultivation and reach higher realms, their entanglement with demonic energy also becomes more profound, resulting in exceptionally long lifespans.

Humans and demons are insulated from each other and cannot enjoy this benefit.

The planetary system of magic may seem to make mages stronger and enhance their bodies, but its essence remains unchanged.

Spiritual power is inert, formless, and intangible, and has nothing to do with lifespan. Living beings are composed of life and soul, plus acquired consciousness, or spiritual power.

The existence of magic is like humans developing a weapon with growth potential in the spiritual world. The higher the level, the greater the damage. However, the lifespan of magic is extremely limited, and as people age and their spiritual power declines, magic will regress.

The idea that the soul could combine with magical energy... reminded him of dark creatures.

The magical attributes suitable for the soul seem to be extremely limited, either white magic or black magic, the two being opposite extremes.

"An angelic soul or a Parthenon-like spirit?"

Wang Teng suddenly remembered the two forces, the Parthenon and the Holy City. Both of them were collecting faith power. The Parthenon was half black and half white, while the Holy City was purely white, plus the victims.

"It seems that to reach the level of a monarch, or even an emperor, one must at least reach the level of a monarch."

"The monarch level is more about the bloodline level improving, while the emperor level is the real leap in level. Angel soul embryos or Parthenon souls are related to emperor-level combat power."

"Life, soul, magical energy..."

"Whether it's the combination of life and magical energy, or the combination of soul and magical energy, both can elevate the level of life; it's just that the forms of existence are different."

Wang Teng seems to have figured something out, but it lacks verification and needs to be implemented at a higher level.

The spirit in his hand was no longer of any use. With a flick of his wrist, the spirit split apart, its soul energy rapidly dissipating before disappearing completely.
