Chapter 242: The Main Research Topics of the Last Era 210

The determination of the treatment plan seemed to resolve Lin An’s own issues as well.

Chen Xinmi wanted to save her sister and was considering using him as material for witchcraft. If he could cure Chen Shuyun, he could not only treat himself but also have the chance to reclaim Zhuang’s Lu Jiao.

Moreover, he wanted to master more witchcraft knowledge. By learning the extremely difficult ‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery from Chen Shuyun’s teaching, he could gain a lot.

Most importantly, though the Breathing Skill Furnace was a slow process, there would come a day when it was complete. When it was time to create a Furnace Core, Lin An wouldn’t need to struggle over whether to infuse the Ugly Head or the black cat’s spirituality into the Furnace for refinement.

And all of this hinged on one critical factor—he needed time!

He should thank Mr. Liu’s actions from before, allowing him to consume the spirituality of many Dark Sorcerers. With these accumulated spiritualities aiding him, only then did he have some confidence to get this done before Chen Xinmi’s actions.

The Spirit Drawing of the great white python and the study of ‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery were progressing simultaneously.

‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery was an extremely complex form of witchcraft, but luckily, Lin An had someone to guide him.

Although Chen Shuyun had forgotten her past as the ‘Ghost Face,’ her understanding and knowledge of witchcraft remained.

They say the true transmission is in a single phrase, and Chen Shuyun explained the essence of ‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery in just one sentence.

“It’s actually like a ‘heart-wrenching’ feeling, where one hand clutches at the heart, blocking off any interaction between the heart and the outside world, causing the spirit to sink into despair.”

This was clearly contrary to Lin An’s understanding.

He had always thought that the sorcery targeted spirituality, but it actually targeted the spirit and indirectly affected spirituality.

“What you need to take note of is that it’s not a state of psychological autism nor depression—both are common mistakes made by wizards who study ‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery.”

Chen Shuyun, when speaking about witchcraft, suddenly transformed from a soft and frail girl into a scholar, her facial and neck muscles tensing subconsciously, emanating an unexpectedly sharp aura.

“It is that heart-wrenching feeling, a sensation, not a psychological state.”

“It causes discomfort, yet it’s not enough to completely change one’s personality. Even if one lives in a state of heart-wrenching pain for many years, the human spirit will automatically adjust.”

Sunlight fell through the gaps in the leaves, casting a mottled pattern on the ground.

A gentle breeze blew, stirring the girl’s long hair, which she lightly tossed behind her ear as she continued in a soft whisper.

“In Master Axiu’s era, the research focus for witches was more on the relationship between witches and the Spirit Realm, as was the case for Witch Hunter Knights.”

“‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery was actually just a splendid and beautiful flower blooming on the tree of Master Axiu’s research achievements.”

“His real study was on the relationship between the human spirit and the Spirit World Aura.”

“He didn’t succeed in this area, but he accumulated a vast array of data—I highly recommend you take a look, as it will help you accumulate enough recognition for your journey in the Extraordinary Realm.”

“Such knowledge is necessary; it will allow you to break away from the current mainstream research field of ‘Witches and Witch Hunter Knights,’ and reacquaint yourself with the focal points of such a master.”

“He discovered that Spirit World Aura had many kinds of stimulative effects on the spirit and thus speculated that the Spirit World Aura wasn’t just one type but made up of various auras with different properties.”

Chen Shuyun explained, “You can think of it as air, which contains oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapor, and so on.”

Lin An couldn’t help but recall the substance he had seen that resembled grime, as well as the dark golden mist—clearly different entities.

“With this understanding, it’s easy to comprehend. If we fill a lightbulb with an inert gas, the filament won’t be affected by other gases, reducing the chance of oxidation.”

“But this ‘inert gas,’ this type of aura, while it may not erode the spirit, provides a sense of enclosure.”

“The spirit is shrouded in dust, creating a feeling of being clutched at.”

Chen Shuyun looked at Lin An, “Back then when we were under the blanket… um… I mean, the blanket where ‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery had been applied, the sensation you experienced was actually the influence of this inert aura.”

Lin An nodded in realization.

As he traveled further down the road of the Supernatural World, his understanding was continuously expanded. There was always a feeling that knowledge could never be fully mastered.

Just like those scientists in the ordinary world, sometimes they pessimistically say that humans will never truly understand this world.

Chen Shuyun’s narration continued, “Very few people are born with a keen awareness of spiritual energy, as even those who don’t awaken can quickly become Sorcerer Zombies.”

“So, how can we sense this unique inert spiritual energy? Initially, Master Axiu sought to detect it through Precious pets (Stone Treasure), which appear undecaying and full of life yet are rigid, seeming to be influenced by this inert aura.”

“The specific research process was complex. He failed countless times, gaining a lot of experience in the process.”

“You can go to that tomb to look at his research.”

“From the initial research on animals affected by spiritual energy—the Precious pets—to plants affected by spiritual energy, many of which are commonly used as casting materials, he explored a long time.”

“Finally, through the combination of different materials and using a state of ritual magic, he enabled humans to entrust their spirit on those materials and experience the inert aura from the Spirit Realm.”

Lin An nodded again in understanding, “So the blanket affected by the ‘Little Blanket Over, Nobody to Love’ Witchcraft was actually just filled with inert spiritual energy? And because it was inert, neither witchcraft nor the Furnace could detect its presence?”

Chen Shuyun nodded, her slender, greenish-white fingers pointing at the surroundings. “The space affected by this Coffin-Sealing Sorcery is the same; it’s actually a transformation of a Stone Treasure filled with inert Spiritual Energy. So neither witches nor Witch-hunting Knights can find this place.”

“Ritual magic items created by ceremonial magic or unique spaces for Precious Pets crafted through witchcraft are constant, and for a master like Axiu, they are relatively simple.”

“What’s difficult is casting them on the spot.”

“That is, being able to cast a spell that induces inert Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Realm anywhere and at any time, allowing us to enter a concealed state or use it to attack others.”

“This witchcraft…”

Chen Shuyun hesitated, “If you want to learn it, there are two paths. The first is to methodically study the research achievements of the masters, to integrate and understand them, and to figure out a way to do it.”

She sighed, “I’ve integrated and understood it, but in reality, I can’t do it. Although I understand the Coffin-Sealing Sorcery, I can only make it to the level of creating an item like ‘Little Blanket Over, Nobody to Love’.”

The talent that ‘Ghost Face’ had back then was extraordinary, yet even they couldn’t master it, which shows just how difficult this witchcraft is.

Or rather, to really master it, one would probably have to swagger through this Supernatural World.

It’s akin to having an “external plugin” ability to hide in another space at any moment.

“The second way is to find a witchcraft template created by master Axiu, and then we could master the witchcraft ability from it.”

“But it has a limitation, first of all, we don’t know where we can find a template for this witchcraft after all these years. Moreover, the abilities we can master will be fixed by the mindset we had at the time, and it’s hard to have much variation.”

I see.

What you learn from a witchcraft template is a fixed skill.

What you learn from delving into a knowledge system is the wisdom of an entire field, which can lead to more abilities as your insights change.

However, what Lin An lacks most right now is time; he can’t slowly learn from master Axiu’s lifetime of research material bit by bit.

As for finding a witchcraft template…

Hey~

Coincidentally, Lin An actually has one!

Mr. Liu refined thirteen Dark Sorcerers into separate entities, and one of them possesses this type of Coffin-Sealing Sorcery.

Lin An doesn’t know what a normal witchcraft template looks like, but he can absorb and learn this witchcraft by devouring the other’s spirituality.

Just as he had absorbed Clown Face’s ‘Dizzy’ Sorcery and eventually mastered the ‘Oil Painting Vortex Vision’ Sorcery.

His mind sank into the depths of his body, into that obscure place, and there the spirituality of the wizard who held the Coffin-Sealing Sorcery was lying neatly arranged.

“I…” Chen Shuyun hesitated, “I could actually pretend to be ‘Ghost Face’ and go to the Wizard Association to check the wizard registration information in Shenhou City, maybe I can find who has this witchcraft template.”

It was bound to be dangerous.

She had escaped from her sister’s laboratory; now going back to the enemy’s lair was practically suicide.

Yet, as she looked at Lin An, who was listening intently, she bit her lower lip and made up her mind.

“No need, I know who has it,” Lin An grinned, his smile radiant.

Destiny sometimes is really marvelous.

After all the twists and turns, one still needs to rely on spiritual methods to solve the problems they encounter.

He really had to thank Mr. Liu for giving him the Eye of Spirituality and such a powerful ability.

“Really?” Chen Shuyun was silently psyching herself up and trying to suppress the angry voice in her heart.

——’Ghost Face was originally you, it was your sister who replaced you, who took away the Wizard Association you created, and now you’re just going back to check the documents, yet you act like a thief’

Well, it’s pretty tragic.

That voice echoed in her heart, causing Chen Shuyun to feel terrible, and the Spiritual Squirrel started whimpering again.

Just as she heard that Lin An had a solution, she looked at Lin An excitedly, “Really?”

Lin An shrugged his shoulders, chuckling hehe.

“Heh~”

A cold laugh sounded from the treetops not far away, startling both of them. They turned their heads in unison to look.

It was Chen Xinmi.

She was holding a cigarette, looking down at the two of them with a cold laugh, “You’re indeed hiding here, so predictable. And Lin An is here too, perfect…”
