Chapter 418: Chapter 221: The High-spirited "Protagonist Group" (6k)
However, fortunately, these contractors don’t need to be too anxious.
At least for now, Bai Yi won’t be knocking at their door.
Bai Yi is quite clear about what she needs to do at the moment. Even if she wants to play, she knows she needs to prioritize completing her tasks.
Although she’s been entertaining herself with Ellie these days, she hasn’t stopped her research on soul carving.
She’s even had some successes, having successfully used Soul Cutting to carve a brand new and usable rune on a soul.
Even if this rune can barely generate a breeze that can’t lift a leaf, it’s still a huge progress!
This time, with Ellie bringing her enough fun, she’s once again got the motivation for more in-depth research.
And she couldn’t resist once again.
Before amusing herself with them, Bai Yi thought of a temporary amusement to satisfy her craving.
After a few days without checking, she still has a real ’main quest’; the virtual instance in the Cycle Challenge can temporarily satisfy her.
Apart from watching it twice at the start, she’s been saving it for the ’youngest’ among her over the past few days.
After deciding her fun for the next few days, Bai Yi once again threw herself into research.
With the thought of watching anime after working hard, combined with the smooth research, Bai Yi found herself researching for three days straight.
In the perspective of the soul, Bai Yi smiled contentedly as she admired the results of her hard work over the past few days.
In her ’view’, a fist-sized soul’s framework was now intricately carved with neat runes.
Although these runes aren’t considered advanced, and the carving is somewhat crude, it merely appears to be the core of a low-tier magical item carved by a beginner.
But it is, in all respects, the first core carved onto a soul!
Taking out the prepared container, she carefully completed the final embedding of the soul.
The specially crafted biological container perfectly fused with the soul and was activated under the influence of magic power.
A cluster of flames emerged unexpectedly, and even though Bai Yi had used an ice series magical item crafted by witches to lower the temperature, the flame showed no sign of extinguishing.
Instead, it had a similar effect as Landon’s previous experiment.
The flame not only maintained the ambient temperature but also repelled the effect of the ice series magical item.
"Very good, it indeed achieves abnormal object-level effects.
Although this little thing is still just a 1st Rank item, its priority is certainly higher than ordinary magical items.
The panel display has already become ’Abnormal Object · Fake’, though it’s unclear how its effects compare to an actual abnormal object.
Hmm, maybe I can create an ice series in the territory, and ask Landon to try it with her candle.
This time, at least the soul carving seems perfected. Next is how to proceed with carving without using my superpower..."
After all, even if a fake abnormal object crafted this way is good, if it needs her personal touch and cannot be mass-produced, it’s worthless.
Only if it becomes a universal manufacturing process, it can be considered knowledge; otherwise, it’s just a demanding cultivation technique.
Moreover, Bai Yi already had an idea on how to carve a soul without using her superpower.
Currently, besides her superpower, the only discovered ability that can influence the soul is spiritual series abilities.
That is, the type of influence Hatti’s superpower has on souls. Similarly, her network also has a comparable effect, allowing the vast spiritual network to influence connected souls.
Even subtly turning connected souls into her own, instinctively acknowledging her, viewing her as the supreme existence, seeing her as life’s greatest pursuit...
Ugh, although the latter is somewhat odd, this trend has indeed permeated the network.
But that’s not the point. The point is, if powerful spirit can affect the soul, can Telekinesis, as the manifestation of spirit, be used as a tool to carve the soul?
Furthermore, if research continues, can it allow the witches under her to cut and create avatars from souls themselves, without her help?
But this requires further research.
And now, she has more important things to attend to.
One is because today marks the seventh day of entering the instance, equivalent to one day in the territory due to time flow, and it’s the day to reinvest in the virtual instance.
Moreover, today her ascension requirements are close to being completed, by tomorrow at the latest, she’ll meet the requirements.
On this front, the anomalous instance due to them fighting solo, even if powerful, can be brute-forced through by beastmen.
Today, at dawn, the anomalous awakening world here already completed 20% conquest, reaching the ascension requirement.
But on the Imperial side, as the world is much larger than a regular instance, plus the residual monsters leading minions to resist and harass, it hindered the progress.
Currently, there are still over ten major cities before reaching the Imperial City, seemingly unable to touch it until after ascension.
Even though Bai Yi has temporarily reduced the Imperial investment and started occupying surrounding primitive areas led by Immortal Mountain People.
But because these areas’ conquest progress doesn’t count much, the final 20% progress is still incomplete.
However, at the current pace, the latest will be achieved tonight or in the early hours.
