Chapter 230 The Elemental Body Is Installed in the Wrong Place

That night.

Xia Zuo returned home with the unruly elements exchanged from the school.

With the compensation brought by Master Lemon, his mood is not that bad. Besides, as an immortal, this time cost can still be afforded.

At this price, in exchange for a pendant that accelerates the taming of elements, it is definitely a gain.

After dinner, Xia Zuo tried the bonus brought by the pendant in the study.

NB!

The combination of pendant + intermediate meditation method can tame a small elemental in just 15 minutes, which increases the efficiency by at least ten times.

If only this kind of pendant could be copied...

The only difference between becoming a master and becoming a master is a few hundred free attribute points and a lot of unruly elements.

Xia Zuo released his detection technique on the pendant, and then twitched the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, it was all question marks.

Except for the proven effects of use and the type of props that are enchanted products, everything else is unknown.

Xia Zuo put the elemental bottle in his hand into the drawer, and paused when he picked up the next elemental confinement bottle.

He plans to try deep meditation and contemplation.

There is no change in the character template, which means everything is normal.

But Xia Zuo always felt uneasy and worried that there was something wrong with his spiritual ocean and spiritual body.

He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

First, deep meditation.

In the spiritual ocean, there is still a scene of light elements circling and flying with other elements.

Then comes the meditative state.

Xia Zuo's spirit body woke up from his body and stood up slowly.

What's going on with this shell on your body?

Xia Zuo looked down in stunned silence. At some point, a tight-fitting garment covering the whole body appeared on the surface of the spirit body.

This dress is covered with square patches of four colors from top to bottom, just like a Baijiayi made from scraps of fabric sewn together...

this..

Isn't this the 108 cute elements?

Xia Zuo stretched out his hand to touch his spirit body, silently counting the number of square color blocks.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5...you can't see it from behind your butt." Xia Zuo raised his foot, "There are two on the sole of this foot, and there are two on the other foot."

"Huh? The distribution pattern of these color blocks is very similar to the complete version of the elemental body described in "Elemental Body Comprehensive Interpretation"..."

Xia Zuo recalled the contents of the book and compared the positions of the color patches on the spirit body.

"Is this really true?! So those 108 well-behaved elements didn't escape? Did they come to my spirit body?"

Xia Zuo was stunned for a long time, "What's going on?"

He picked up the spiritual thread carrying the golden finger.

The spiritual thread is still the same, a long, thin golden-white silk thread.

"Hey, Goldfinger, why does my spirit body have an extra elemental body?" Xia Zuo tightened the spiritual thread and flicked it with his finger.

Goldfinger only replied with one sentence when he first traveled through time and asked how to obtain more free attribute points.

Cold, indifferent, and ruthless.

What’s even more annoying is that the sentence it replied at that time was still wrong!

Goldfinger's reply is that the higher the level, the greater the chance of randomly receiving more free attribute points.

But it turns out that the number of free attribute points is related to the quality of blood patterns.

As a tool to assist time travellers, why should it deceive its host so much that it wastes the first 10 levels with the lowest experience requirements for upgrading?

If only he had been given the right tips from the beginning, he would be an octagon warrior by now.

etc!

wrong!

Xia Zuo trembled violently.

Qualuowuqi.

This blood demon who was sent by the Strange Demon Church to lurk in the Western Continent was already active in the Starry Night Kingdom when I first crossed over.

If the golden finger does not mislead me and guide me to focus on quick upgrades, but instead gives me correct tips to make up for my shortcomings and get more free attribute points.

Doesn't that mean that I'm likely to attract the attention of Blood Demon Qualuowuqi because of the high quality of my blood patterns?

So...Goldfinger saved me instead?

Although the spirit body does not have sweat glands, Xia Zuo felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat

Was Goldfinger's misdirection a coincidence or premeditated?

Can it control the movements of the Blood Demon?

In other words, the unknown being who put the golden finger into the spiritual thread deliberately set a wrong message to prevent the host from being discovered by the Church of Strange Demons?

This error message is Goldfinger’s only reply to the host’s question from the beginning to now.

If the hypothesis of "preventing the host from being discovered by the Church of Strange Demons" is true

An inference can be drawn:

[The golden finger was arranged by the Mage Temple? 】

What's the purpose?

Observe what golden fingers can transform a half-year-old child into?

Cultivate an outstanding alchemist master or tower scholar?

Then promote Goldfinger on a large scale so that everyone has the opportunity to become an octagonal warrior and improve the strength of the temple in all aspects?

It's outrageous, it's outrageous.

Xia Zuo frowned, feeling that his judgment was difficult to convince.

If the Mage Temple really had the ability to develop Golden Finger, it would probably have eradicated the Church of Strange Demons hiding deep in the continent.

Can't figure it out.

Xia Zuo temporarily put aside the thoughts in his mind and focused on the problem at hand.

Why does the spirit body have an extra layer of elemental body, but the character template does not respond, and the golden finger does not give any information?

Xia Zuo put the spiritual thread close to his spiritual body and released the detection technique on the elemental body covered with four-color square patches.

Invisible fluctuations came from the spiritual thread. After slight contact with the elemental body, several lines of golden and white text were projected from the spiritual thread.

"It has been detected that the host's spirit body has obtained an elemental body, and the character template is being updated...

"update completed!

"New entries such as [Spirit Body] and [Elemental Body] have been added."

Xia Zuo opened the character template and took a look. There were very few new entries.

There are only two lines in the [Spirit Body] entry - in a meditative state, you can control your own spirit body. Due to insufficient [knowledge reserve], more information could not be obtained.

The [Elemental Body] entry is divided into two parts, the elemental body of the spirit body and the elemental body of the body.

The former is already a complete version of the universal elemental body, while the latter is [empty]. Xia Zuo can take the secret medicine again to condense an elemental body for his body.

Um..

The spirit body has a universal type but the body does not. So if the elemental shells of the spirit body and the body can be interchanged, wouldn't it be better to give the body an elemental shell dedicated to condensed oil alchemy?

This is equivalent to having two sets of elemental bodies.

Xia Zuo pulled the square color block on the spirit body.

A square piece of red color was pulled down by him...

? !

Xia Zuo looked at the color block in his hand in disbelief, and pressed it to the corresponding part of the body by accident.

The spirit body's hand loosened, but the color block did not fall off.

Xia Zuo glanced at his character template.

…

[Elemental body (spirit body)]

[Completeness] 98%, not available

[Elemental body (body)]

[Completeness] 2%, not available

…

It can really put the elemental shell of the spirit body onto the body!

Xia Zuo used both hands to pick off pieces of color and pat them on his body. One of the two [completeness levels] on the character template continued to decrease, while the other increased steadily.

When the last color block was stuffed onto the butt of the body by Xia Zuo, the integrity of the [Elemental Body (Body)] reached 100%.

Xia Zuo immediately came out of the meditative state, opened his eyes on the desk chair, and entered a shallow meditative state.

A nearly transparent hazy shell appeared on the body. This is what the complete version of the universal elemental shell looks like without any alchemy props.

One person holds two sets of elemental bodies! !

Candles in the shrine originally had this function.

Xia Zuo sat on a chair, stroking his hair and thought for a long time, and finally decided to tell Kristo about this.

The Temple is extremely enthusiastic about exploring spiritual tools.

If Xia Zuo fails, the next experimenter will take over.

What if the next experimenter also added powder from the shrine candle in the process of condensing the elemental body, and then revealed to the temple that his spirit body had an extra layer of elemental body.

As the previous experimenter, Xia Zuo will be the subject of suspicion.

This is a classic prisoner's dilemma.

Moreover, Xia Zuo was certain that the matter of the spirit body using an elemental body had absolutely nothing to do with Gold Finger.

Goldfinger's style is very obvious. He will give back information when encountering something and at the same time ask the host for his choice.

If Goldfinger were to condense the elemental body into the spirit body, Xia Zuo would definitely receive questions like "Please choose whether to perform this operation."

From this, it can be concluded that the candle in the shrine is responsible. The changes in the spirit body are revealed to the temple and the existence of Goldfinger will not be exposed.

Xia Zuo put down Kristo's ring, tidied up the desk, and stuffed the pendant that had not been used a few times into his alchemy pocket.

One minute later, Kristo's secret message came.

Xia Zuo glanced at the message, spoke to An Ru'er, and then used the wind technique to fly to the top floor of the Bosin Building.

…

In the office, a faint blood-colored light flows.

Kristo came here first.

Next to her was a mage who was hiding his figure in a large cloak.

"Xia Zuo, this is the mage who controls Difantana's shrine. A high tower mage who detects schools. You can call her Reina."

Kristo summoned three sofas, invited the two of them to sit down, and then said to Xia Zuo:

"You should have guessed that Reyna is my descendant. She will keep your secret."

"Good day, Your Excellency Reina." Xia Zuo bowed and saluted.

Reyna leaned forward slightly and returned the greeting.

Kristo stared at Xia Zuo for a few seconds, observing the elemental body on his body for a while, "Xia Zuo, you and Reina will meet in soul clairvoyance. She will briefly check the condition of your spirit body and witness your transfer of elements. The process of the body.”

"Okay, Your Excellency." Xia Zuo nodded, "I'm ready."

Reina leaned back on the chair, her breathing became steady, and her eyes hidden in the hood closed.

Xia Zuo also entered a state of meditation.

This was the first time he saw someone else's spirit body through the perspective of soul.

Reina's spirit body appeared next to Xia Zuo, corresponding to where the two of them were sitting in reality. She held Devantana's shrine in her hands, and the light of the candle was as soft as the sunshine in spring that melted winter snow.

There was a warm and comfortable feeling flowing slowly on the surface of Xia Zuo's spirit body.

Reina's spirit body also looks naked, but the spirit body has no facial features and no obvious gender characteristics. It is difficult to distinguish the front and back.

She walked around Xia Zuo's spirit body, and based on the direction of the other person's head, she could tell where his front was.

She nodded to Xia Zuo, stretched out her right hand and made gestures on the other person's spirit body and body.

Xia Zuo understood that this was Reina asking him to demonstrate how to transfer the elemental body to the spirit body.

Xia Zuo squatted down, skillfully picked off the square color block from the body and installed it on the spirit body.

Reina's movement while holding the shrine swayed obviously, as if she didn't expect that the method of transferring the elemental body was so simple...

The two stayed in the soul clairvoyance vision for about half an hour. Xia Zuo demonstrated it twice, and then exited the meditative state with the other party.

Xia Zuo opened his eyes on the sofa.

Reina gently rubbed the fingers hidden in her sleeves, summoned a piece of silver sand, and used the sand to form a text:

"I saw his elemental body through soul clairvoyance, and it was no different from a normal elemental body.

"The method of transferring the elemental body is to remove the body components from the body or spirit body and place them in the correct spirit body or the correct position on the body. The rules for component placement are consistent with the research results of existing theories."

Cristo held her chin with the back of her right hand and looked at Xia Zuo with interest, "So, you can now have two elemental bodies at the same time, right?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Kristo said:

"We need to do further research.

"I won't take that pendant back. But there is one request.

"You have to condense a second set of elemental bodies as soon as possible, preferably of a different type. After that, you have to come here to show us the process of exchanging elemental bodies.

"Perhaps, there will be some other experiments that need your help. We will elaborate on them then."

Xia Zuo nodded, "No problem, Your Excellency. In a week at most, I will prepare the elemental bottle that condenses the elemental body."

"I have a proposal." Reina weaved words with silver sand. "Give Xia Zuo a small piece of the shrine candle and let him melt into the element bottle. When the spirit body does not have an elemental body, then condense the third element. Two sets of elemental bodies.”

Kristo snapped her fingers, "That's a good suggestion, Reyna. This can reduce the number of variables. If the second set of elemental bodies cannot be applied to the spirit body because the candle fragments are not added, then you have to Remove the second elemental body and do it again."

Kristo took out a crystal and placed it in front of Xia Zuo, "Same as before, crush this crystal before you start to condense the elemental body."

After she waited for Xia Zuo to put away the crystal, she continued:

"The reward I promise you will be given to you based on the situation when you condense the second set of elemental bodies. You may have to make some adjustments because that prop is related to the elemental body."

"Okay, Your Excellency."

Xia Zuo stood up with the other two, and then was teleported back.

…

6 days later.

The same meditation room, the same soft couch.

108 element bottles appeared in front of Xia Zuo again.

He crushed the crystal and got the candle from the shrine. After getting ready, he drank the secret medicine that condensed the elemental body.

This time there was also a strange state of being unable to enter meditation and contemplation.

Xia Zuo's consciousness remained silent in darkness for three days. After opening his eyes again, he immediately entered a state of meditation.

Sure enough, a new elemental body appeared on the spirit body.

Xia Zuo followed his mentor's advice and chose an elemental body dedicated to oil alchemy.

Now, both the spiritual body and the physical body have their own set.

The number of clever elements used by the two is the same, but the rules of arrangement on the body are different.

Xia Zuo memorized the positions of the color blocks of the two sets of elemental bodies, and then tried to switch the positions.

When he woke up from his meditative state, the elemental shell on his body had turned into a special type for oil alchemy.

You can really have two sets of elemental bodies at the same time!

It just needs to be switched manually every time.

If only I could find a way to switch elemental bodies with a thought.

After Xia Zuo packed up, he flew to the top floor of the Bosin Building.

…

Cristo's office.

This place has been arranged in advance. There is an open space in the room, and a carpet with a magic circle pattern is placed on the ground.

The beige carpet color, soft touch, and warm fragrance filled Xia Zuo's heart with peace as he sat cross-legged on the carpet.

Sitting opposite Xia Zuo was Reina, who was wrapped in a cloak.

The low table between the two of them was filled with all kinds of spiritual materials.

Kristo sat on the sofa next to the carpet, "Xia Zuo, have you remembered all the key points?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"Well...you repeat it again to prevent mistakes." Kristo said.

"The first step is to control the imitation of the coffin." Xia Zuo's eyes fell on the table in front of him, where there was a tiny coffin the size of a fist.

This is a fake made by the temple to imitate Devantana's shrine.

It allows the holder to see other people's spiritual bodies through soul perspective.

The imitation shrine does not have the ability to attack, nor can it protect the holder's spirit body from walking freely in the darkness.

There is no shrine candle inside, only a small piece of specially made fluorite serves as the source of light.

In short, it is just a one-time prop for Xia Zuo to observe Reina's spirit body, and the threshold for control is extremely low.

"The second step is to observe whether there are any changes in Reina's spirit and body when she uses various spiritual materials to strengthen her elemental body."

Xia Zuo looked at a piece of parchment on the table, which was full of shaman language. On the right side of the parchment was a translation written in common language.

"The third step is to find out the spiritual material that caused the change."

"Yes, that's it." Kristo tapped her chin, "Then let's get started."

Xia Zuo stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the shrine, entering a state of meditation.

In the hand of the spirit body, there is a small shrine filled with smoke, as illusory and misty as a bubble.

Xia Zuo used the method of making totems to add totem patterns around the small shrine to strengthen the connection between the spirit body and the shrine.

Goldfinger’s message came to my mind:

"It has been detected that the host is trying to control the replica of the shrine, and multiple attribute determinations are being made...

"Resistance..

"Strength, agility, endurance...

"Will, spirit...

"The judgment is passed. Are you sure you have control over the imitation of the shrine?"

"Confirm." Xia Zuo muttered silently.

The fog around the small niche dissipated instantly, as if someone had pulled it out of the mist, and the fluorite inside the niche bloomed with light.
