Chapter 43 Infusion of Spells! The Ice and Fire Return to One Technique!
"despair!"
Zhu Que gently closed the window.
The moment the window frame was fastened, the noise and bloodshed seemed to be isolated in another world.
He leaned against the wall, his chest heaving, his heart pounding, and his limbs trembling slightly with excitement.
Just now.
He made two movements within a few seconds.
The first method was to throw a grenade, using the resulting flames and smoke to obscure the view of that area.
The second time, he used the Object Manipulation Gauntlets to retrieve the object remotely, taking the magical artifact from the robber's arms at top speed.
Zhu Que looked at the spirit-infusing artifact in his hand.
This magical artifact is a semi-enclosed helmet with sharp lines. Its outer shell is made of some kind of mixed jade and is covered with fine spiritual patterns that crisscross like a neural network.
This magical artifact is worn on the head.
Although the helmet shell developed a few cracks and looked somewhat damaged from the impact of the grenade explosion, it wasn't a major problem.
The moment Zhu Que touched it, the familiar tadpole-like characters appeared before him.
[Unknown magical artifact detected!]
[Current parsing progress: 0.1%……0.2%……0.3%……]
This speed...
Zhu Que quickly made a calculation.
"Analysis successful. It will take about half an hour. It seems to be a second-tier spirit infusion artifact."
Zhu Que immediately began to analyze the situation with all his might.
In addition to touch, he also tried to analyze the other five senses together, but only "observation" could improve the analysis speed.
The improvement in the other five senses was almost zero.
"We have to be quick..."
Zhu Que always kept a tight rein on things.
Police support will arrive at the scene soon.
Once they discover that the robber is dead but the magical artifact has disappeared, they will definitely search the surrounding area.
He had to complete the analysis and put the infused artifact back before that.
Otherwise, once the police launch a search in the surrounding area, even if he ran away with the infused spiritual artifact beforehand, the police will still be able to find him at the scene of the incident through the usage records of the intermediate cultivation room.
Although Xiao Cai rented the training room, she wasn't at the scene of the incident, so it couldn't withstand a police investigation.
The police will surely be able to find him by following the clues.
Zhu Que was on high alert, watching the analysis progress gradually increase.
[Current parsing progress: 26.1%……26.2%……26.3%……]
After a while.
"Waaaaah—waaaah—"
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing siren blared outside.
Zhu Que's heart tightened, and he looked out the window.
Two police cars were parked on the side of the road. Several officers jumped out and began to investigate the scene, where they saw the mangled flesh and charred marks.
"What happened? How did this robber die? Didn't Captain Su just say she captured one alive here?"
"Judging from the state of the body's damage and the traces at the scene, it seems to have been caused by some kind of high-explosive magical weapon."
"Either they were accomplices who silenced him, or someone took advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters."
Just then, someone suddenly realized something—
"Wait, Captain Su said there was another spirit-infusing artifact here, where is it?! Where did it go?!"
"Someone is definitely taking advantage of the chaos!"
"Request police backup immediately! Lock down the surrounding area and check all suspicious individuals!"
"..."
Intermediate training room.
Zhu Que's heart was in his throat, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He watched as the parsing progress gradually increased to 80%, 90%, 95%... and finally the parsing progress reached 100%!
[Analysis successful!]
[Spell "Ice and Fire Return to Origin" Infusion Device: Tier 2, High-grade, Jade. Can infuse the spell "Ice and Fire Return to Origin." Three uses will achieve "Initial Understanding," and continued use will achieve "Slight Success."]
[Requirements for imitation: 9 Tier 1 Jade Items, 3 Tier 1 Cloth Items]
Zhu Que didn't have time to examine it closely. He immediately took the infusion artifact and carefully wiped the fingerprints off its surface with his sleeve.
Then.
He quietly pushed open the window, used his magic-wielding hand guards, and lifted the magical artifact out of thin air.
Under the cover of night, it was placed quietly in an inconspicuous corner, close to the shadows of the wall, avoiding the sight of several police officers.
After doing all this, he gently closed the window.
After a while.
When police reinforcements arrived, they searched the surrounding area and quickly found the "lost" infusion device in a corner.
"We've found the magical artifact! It was probably blown here by the blast."
"Then let's lift the blockade. They didn't even take the magical artifacts. I guess those ruthless robbers silenced them."
Inside the meditation room.
"call!"
Zhu Que finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the police car drive away, and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Although it involved a great deal of risk, this adventure was absolutely worth it.
It solved his immediate problem of not knowing magic or martial arts, and the risk and reward were absolutely proportional.
Then.
Zhu Que returned to the junkyard, gathered all the fragments needed to create a replica of the spirit-infused artifact, and then immediately returned to the cultivation center.
Intermediate training room.
Zhu Que couldn't wait to start imitating.
He placed the remnant into the two empty spaces, and watched as the spaces merged and black mist overflowed. He waited expectantly.
After a while.
The black mist suddenly receded, revealing a large empty space.
[Successfully replicated!]
[Spell "Ice and Fire Unity Technique" Infusion Device: Tier 2, High-grade, Jade. Can infuse the spell "Ice and Fire Unity Technique." One use grants "Initial Understanding," while continued use grants "Slight Mastery."]
[Side effect: Due to errors in the spirit rune inscription, the infused spells will differ from the original.]
"It's done!"
Zhu Que clenched his fist excitedly.
Looking at the description of the magical artifact, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
He can understand that magical artifacts can be pirated, but can spells also be pirated?
The authentic version is "The Ice and Fire Return to Origin Technique".
The pirated version is "The Art of Ice and Fire Returning to One".
Although they differ by only one word, they seem to be completely different spells...
Zhu Que hesitated for a moment, then decided to give it a try and see how this pirated spell differed from the original.
"Crack!"
Zhu Que put the infusion device on his head, and the spirit patterns immediately lit up with a faint white light.
He felt with absolute clarity that a mysterious spiritual connection instantly linked to his brain and consciousness.
A line of text appeared in the infusion device.
[Consciousness has been connected. To begin the infusion, please press the start button.]
"clatter!"
Zhu Que held his breath, focused his mind, and pressed the start button without hesitation.
"Buzz—"
The infusion device emitted a slight vibration.
As the spiritual patterns flowed, Zhu Que's consciousness instantly entered a state of clarity, as if his entire mind had been detached from his body and placed in the vast and boundless void.
He looked up and was immediately stunned.
A phantom of light descended from the sky, enveloping his consciousness like a curtain.
But then...
He discovered that it wasn't some "illusory radiance," but rather countless complex and obscure runes, incantations, and hand seals...
They cascaded down on him like a waterfall, overwhelming him!
"boom!!"
Zhu Que's consciousness suddenly jolted.
The runes, incantations, and marks flooded his mind, branding his consciousness and seeping into his limbs and bones.
He seemed to resonate with some strange power.
time flies.
I don't know how much time passed.
"call!!"
Zhu Que opened his eyes and subconsciously glanced at the time, only to find that he had been receiving the infusion for more than six hours.
He removed the infusion artifact and looked down at his hands.
Despite having no formal study or practice, he had indeed mastered a spell called "Ice and Fire Unity Technique".
However, this spell...
It seems a little strange.
