Lin An encountered wizards, witch-hunting knights, and even dark sorcerers; regardless of their affiliations, they didn’t feel like the types engrossed in underworld squabbles, but rather more like ‘seekers of knowledge’ in pursuit of exploration.

Even though he was aware that not everyone was like this, such as his subordinates or those within the Witches’ Assembly, they hardly gave off the vibe of ‘seekers of knowledge.’

Indeed, this might be the difference between ordinary transcendents and the truly powerful.

Master Axiu was clearly such a person.

The most magical aspect of the coffin-sealing sorcery was its ability to completely seal away spirituality, preventing the spiritual energy from the Spirit Realm from eroding it.

His research was obviously successful, but not completely so.

While the spirituality was well protected under the coffin-sealing sorcery, his body had quietly aged with the passage of time and eventually decayed and crumbled.

And with it, the soul that resided in the body dispersed from this world.

This world really doesn’t have things like ghosts; it is the body that anchors the soul’s movement in this world, giving rise to the source of life’s vitality and the activity of the soul.

Unless the soul can be grafted onto another person’s body, perhaps it can continue to survive.

Regarding this, Lin An had actually had some experiences, such as when treating Zhuang, and Doctor Zhang suddenly showed up, the information transmitted by the Antler Furnace’s spirituality revealed that Doctor Zhang had once done such a thing.

Or like Mr. Liu, Clown Face, and those living within their own soul, like the Lottery Wizard’s wife.

Body, soul, and spirituality—many research studies’ meticulous analyses can be classified upon these three.

Master Axiu’s body and soul had died, but his spirituality, still based on the coffin-sealing sorcery, remained in this world, resulting in wondrous effects.

Lin An knew that spirituality was a collection of traces of a person’s life activities.

Thus, Master Axiu’s traces of life were smeared upon the world, turning into an unknown yet splendid brilliance.

Lin An and the young boss walked into ‘Axion Sealing Coffin Site,’ a place dubbed the Underground Library by the Wizard Association, where numerous translucent figures filled every corner within the cemetery.

Some looked young, tinkering on a crude experimental stand.

Some appeared middle-aged, deeply engrossed in stacks of books and manuscripts, murmuring to themselves.

Some seemed rather old, dragging their weary bodies, floating a gigantic sorcerer zombie’s corpse onto a shelf.

These figures were all Master Axiu.

They were uncommunicative, untouchable, just shadows in the world, merely traces.

It turns out, the so-called library was Master Axiu’s laboratory; the books inside were each of Master Axiu’s research results.

“Chen Shuyun told me that by placing your hand on books and manuscripts and feeling earnestly, you can absorb the content within,” Lin An whispered to the young boss as if afraid to disturb the master’s research.

The young boss’s expression was quite odd, “If there had been a way to ‘feel earnestly’ to read books and gain knowledge back when I was in school, I definitely would have gotten into a good college!”

Lin An couldn’t help but laugh.

“There are two points you should pay attention to!”

He explained earnestly to the young boss, “First, don’t touch Master Axiu’s figure initially, or his wisdom might erode into you. If we aren’t able to assimilate it, his views and ideas will imperceptibly imprint themselves onto our souls, becoming our own views and ideas.”

The young boss’s expression changed slightly, his mouth twitching, “Wow, that’s a fresh take!”

Lin An watched him with a grin and a chuckle.

Clearly, this was exactly what the young boss was experiencing at the moment.

Through this incident, Lin An also confirmed his speculation—’Emotions must come first, then learn witchcraft to digest those emotions.’

Knowledge that can’t be digested will settle in the body’s organs like aluminum in fried dough sticks, causing some harm.

Of course, this is just another case of one spirituality eroding another.

The carrying of the Furnace Core from Lu Jiao, the predecessors…

Such a practice, while cementing the local transcendent world of witch-hunting knights’ dominance over witches, was not without its problems.

“The second thing to pay attention to!”

Lin An raised an eyebrow, “There are countless Master Axius here, and countless pieces of knowledge. The wisdom you can absorb is separated by time frames. It’s best to only look at the manuscripts of the older-looking master, because by then the coffin-sealing sorcery had been fully researched.”

“Of course, later on, by considering the earlier materials researched by the master, you could better understand his research path and ideas, which could also be very useful.”

The young boss nodded in understanding, “I get it, being old gives you the formula, while youth and middle-age are the processes of deriving the formula, right?”

“You could say that.”

The young and middle-aged Master Axius had not succeeded at every step; they took many detours. One had to learn to dialectically absorb knowledge, otherwise, being led astray could be quite dangerous.

“This is truly amazing!” the young boss exclaimed in awe, carefully avoiding an old Master Axiu passing by with a walking stick, “This might be the most complete and powerful witchcraft I’ve ever come into contact with.”

Lin An chewed his lip, eager to agree, but then he suddenly remembered that whether it was the ‘Heart-to-Heart Skewers’ witchcraft, Mr. Liu’s ‘Mind Balance Curse’, possibly something Doctor Zhang had figured out like ‘Wizard Will’, or Professor Cao’s ‘Wizard Furnace’, they seemed to be equally impressive.
