Chapter 340: Chapter 192: Instant Energy Body, Thunderbolt Demigod Blood

While the outside world was in an uproar over Pei Ze’s promotion to a Level 3 Wizard, the man himself was holed up in his mansion, completely engrossed in his training.

Less than half a month after his promotion, Pei Ze successfully broke through to the ninth layer of the All-Knowing Breathing Technique, advancing to become a Tier Six Legendary Knight.

His constitution also broke through the 500 energy-level threshold.

Following this, Pei Ze further perfected his Alchemy Body, increasing the number of Alchemy Patterns to 318.

"There are still seventy-seven vacant Alchemy Patterns."

Pei Ze sat cross-legged on the floor, his gaze falling upon the numerous materials laid out before him.

He had long since decided which new Alchemy Engraving to inscribe.

Of the four Alchemy Engravings he currently had, Energy Force Field and Dimensional Flash were primarily for increasing his survivability, while Silver Body and Rune Fissure were for enhancing his combat strength.

’Considering the Battle of the Holy Ring a year from now won’t be life-threatening, my safety shouldn’t be a major issue. Therefore, the fifth Alchemy Engraving should be one that focuses on enhancing my combat strength.’

After consulting his resources, Pei Ze quickly found a suitable option.

’Instantaneous Energized Form’: A reinforcement-type Alchemy Engraving. Upon activation, the user designates a single type of Energy Particle and instantly transforms into a Spirit Body of that single energy attribute. In this form, the user is immune to physical attacks and energy damage of the same attribute, and their affinity for Energy Particles of that same attribute is greatly enhanced.

Clearly, this was an Alchemy Engraving similar to Silver Body.

The difference was that Silver Body strengthened his constitution, whereas Instantaneous Energized Form strengthened his energy damage.

This Alchemy Engraving could significantly enhance Pei Ze’s control over lightning, making it somewhat similar to an Elemental Mage’s ability to turn their body into energy, though its effect was considerably weaker.

Of course, that was only in comparison to powerful Elemental Mages.

For a Level 3 Wizard, the increase in combat power from Instantaneous Energized Form was already immense.

The fact that inscribing Instantaneous Energized Form required a full seventy-two Alchemy Patterns was a testament to its power.

Clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, Pei Ze began to inscribe the new Alchemy Engraving.

He had performed the inscription process dozens of times by now and was thoroughly familiar with it, completing the work smoothly in a short time.

A satisfied smile appeared on Pei Ze’s face as he looked at the silver engravings that materialized on his body.

He now had another ace up his sleeve.

Shaking off his elation, Pei Ze gave a casual wave of his hand to clear away the traces on the floor, then took out the Memory Crystal Ball.

This Memory Crystal Ball, a gift from Mo Weng, stored a vast amount of information about igniting a Heart of Elements. It included methods for increasing elemental affinity, precautions to take during the ignition process, and insightful notes from many Elemental Mages on their own breakthroughs.

That last point alone was enough to demonstrate the immense value of this information.

A single insight from a High-tier Wizard could sometimes save a person from taking many wrong turns.

For Pei Ze, however, the most important information was on how to increase his elemental affinity.

According to the information, there were many methods to increase one’s elemental affinity.

The simplest was to stay in an environment with a high concentration of elements for an extended period.

For instance, to increase one’s affinity for fire, one could reside in a Fire Elemental Half-Plane for a long time, using the concentrated fire elements to temper their body and achieve the desired result.

However, this method was slow to show results and extremely time-consuming.

Aside from a few Crystal Wizards who were truly short on funds, almost no Wizard would choose a method as slow as a crawling turtle.

The second method was physical modification.

Many Magical Creatures, such as the Thunder Abyss Giant and the Thunder Beast, were born with outstanding affinity for the lightning element due to their unique physical structures.

By studying these structures and modifying one’s own body accordingly, one could significantly enhance their elemental affinity.

However, this method required an extremely high level of expertise in biology, which was beyond the reach of most Wizards.

Of course, Pei Ze was not among them.

With the Eye of Omniscience, he could easily master any biological modification technique he wished; he simply didn’t intend to use this method.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t overcome the psychological hurdle. As long as it increased his power, mere physical modification was nothing to him.

He rejected this method simply because it was unnecessary.

In essence, physical modification was a low-level version of bloodline fusion. Its effects were inferior, yet its side effects were more severe.

Pei Ze wouldn’t even accept bloodline fusion, let alone physical modification.

After eliminating the numerous methods that were slow-acting, had significant side effects, or were difficult to implement, Pei Ze finally settled on two options.

The first was a potion called the Elemental Affinity Potion.

As the name suggested, this potion was created specifically to increase one’s elemental affinity.

And its effect was exactly that.

However, the Elemental Affinity Potion was a Tier Five Potion. Not only was it extremely difficult to concoct, but it was also incredibly expensive.

A typical Tier Five Potion was already worth as much as a million Magic Stone Coins, but as one of the finest among them, the Elemental Affinity Potion was valued at nearly 1.8 million Magic Stone Coins per bottle. Moreover, it was usually available in name only, with no actual supply, making it completely unaffordable for an ordinary Crystal Wizard.

"A Tier Five Potion..."

Pei Ze mused to himself.

’A Tier Five Potion requires the Spiritual Power of at least a Level 3 Crystalized Wizard to create. I can just barely meet that requirement.’

’I don’t need to worry about the formula, either. The information I have includes detailed recipes for all the major Elemental Affinity Potions.’

’The key is the ingredients. The most important of them is Elemental Crystal Dust.’
