Chapter 417: 382 Material Four
Li Chengyi took a deep breath and quickly returned to the base, heading back underground.
Only when his feet stood once again on the silvery-white metal platform did he slightly relax.
He entered the sealed laboratory, and layers of protective measures sprang to life. The monitoring systems activated.
’I designate.’
He solemnly recited in his mind, ’Focus on the specific experience and methods of producing Imprint Orbs.’
He had considered designating the acquisition method for the entire Imprint, but given the risk of receiving fragmented or missing details, that could waste the Flower Language Technique.
Since the Flower Language Technique was a one-time use, he had to be extremely cautious.
Before, he didn’t think much of this type of Flower Language Technique due to its luck-based nature and one-time use, which made it seem far less cost-effective compared to other techniques.
But at this moment, when he urgently needed the methods for producing Imprint Orbs, this technique’s aid might surpass any other Flower Language Technique.
Suddenly...
Li Chengyi stood in the center of the silvery-white laboratory, the air around him gradually darkening.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, a vortex of black mist appeared right in front of him.
Hum... The vortex emitted a faint trembling sound.
After several seconds, wisps of black granules resembling fine sand began to slowly fly out, approaching Li Chengyi.
Before they could even make contact, these granules self-dismantled, becoming intangible.
It was as if they turned into some invisible substance, silently merging into Li Chengyi’s body.
At the same time.
An overwhelming myriad of information slowly surfaced in Li Chengyi’s mind.
Text, images, sounds, sensations, smells—all his sensory organs were frenziedly absorbing vast amounts of mysterious knowledge.
All of this knowledge pertained to the methods and steps for producing Imprint Orbs, including actual hand-on scenarios, muscle memory, breathing, tactile sensations, and other details.
Necromancers of various ages, appearances, and heights inundated Li Chengyi with copious experiences of when they produced Imprint Orbs.
"Giant Strength Imprint..."
"Divine Speed Imprint..."
"Equilibrium Imprint..."
"Absolute Resistance Imprint..."
"Boiling Imprint..."
"Dark Vision Imprint..."
A vast number of different methods for crafting Imprint Orbs also simultaneously flowed into Li Chengyi’s mind.
The enormous influx of data caused even his enhanced body to suffer from an almost splitting headache.
Especially since all this knowledge and experience was fragmented.
It required him to organize it himself.
The black vortex continued pouring this information into him for over half a minute before it gradually faded away and vanished.
Thump.
Li Chengyi couldn’t help but kneel on the ground, holding his head, as his blood rushed through his veins like a speeding car gone wild.
Far exceeding the normal rate.
Kneeling there, a faint golden light emerged on his body, expediting his recovery. It took Li Chengyi more than half an hour to stabilize before he slowly straightened up.
His mind was crammed with various methods and knowledge on producing Imprint Orbs.
’All these are memories of Necromancers... It seems this should be an Imprint progression system uniquely created by the City of the Death Angels.’
He even saw memories from those clothed in dark gold papal robes participating in the crafting of the top-tier King of the Death Angels Imprint.
’Unexpectedly, even the King of the Death Angels was actually created by the Church of Death Angels bit by bit from living beings!’
Recalling that terrifying entity who nearly destroyed the entire City of the Death Angels with a single hand, a sense of awe inadvertently rose in Li Chengyi’s heart.
Without a doubt, this flood of memories vastly expanded his understanding of the City of the Death Angels.
Although he still had vast amounts of related knowledge and memories to absorb, just the merged portion alone made him feel confident in making Imprint Orbs.
The short attraction had allowed the production memories of over three thousand Necromancers to merge into his mind.
Shaking his still throbbing head, Li Chengyi maintained the Radiance Field’s healing effect on himself and slowly left the laboratory.
The deluge of memories included many analyses of Imprints by Necromantic Grand Mages as well as memories of them instructing their juniors.
These memories gave him a profound understanding of the special language used by the City of the Death Angels.
What had been a half-baked level of understanding instantly transformed into an extremely skilled and profound standard.
Additionally, these experiential memories significantly enhanced Li Chengyi’s precision in controlling Necromantic energies.
This was an unexpected bonus.
This time, Li Chengyi didn’t go anywhere and rested in the underground base, spending three full days digesting and absorbing the massive knowledge and memories.
While much was repetitive, the various hidden techniques, methodologies, and thought processes allowed him to rapidly grow into a cram-study style research Mage in a very short period.
Over the three days, he filtered out redundant memories and recorded every Necromantic spell involved in the Imprint process that was mentioned in those memories.
These were all auxiliary spells casually used by the Necromancers in the memories.
Through Li Chengyi’s restoration and documentation, they were finally revealed to the world again.
The auxiliary spells all used Necromantic energies as a driving force, and in the process, his mastery of the Black Sea Script was greatly enhanced through several special memories.
During those few Imprint crafting sessions, the Church of Death Angels had collaborated with mysterious figures from the Black Sea, thus the entire conversation took place in the Black Sea language.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Chengyi, engrossed in research, had almost forgotten time.
If it hadn’t been for AI Rose’s reminder, he would have thought he had only spent three hours.
All auxiliary Necromantic spells for crafting Imprints had been recorded.
There were thirty-five types in total, each inscription requiring hundreds of delicate procedures, and the manipulation of necromantic energy also demanded processing with extremely fine precision.
Li Chengyi looked at the list recorded in the Death Angel’s language before him.
’1 Record Technique.
Force Field Hand.
Restoration Technique.
Refinement Pointer.
Heating Technique.
Freezing Technique.
Odenik Flicker
Softening Technique.
Ultra-Micro Spatial Shackles Technique.
.....’
All the other necromantic spells listed below, when combined, could almost constitute a complete necromancy spellbook.
Besides that, there were also various materials needed for making imprints, other than Imprint Orbs.
Thirteen imprints in total, all meticulously recorded. The City of the Death Angels surely had far more imprints at their command, but among the memories Li Chengyi drew upon, these thirteen were fully detailed on the list.
Using the Flower Language Technique this time was akin to mastering thirty-five necromantic spells in one go.
Although all were auxiliary spells used in research and manufacturing, with slight modifications, they could easily be converted into powerful attack spells.
This made Li Chengyi feel all the more that his choice of Flower Language Technique had been worthwhile.
Among the thirty-five spells, one was a formation that used necromantic energy to fuse materials, crucial for building the walls of a necromancer’s tower.
Li Chengyi planned to experiment with a Special Rainbow Iron alloy, known for its outstanding strength and durability, to construct his Mage Tower.
If successful, a Mage Tower made from this material could rival the top-tier Flying Yi in resilience.
Keep in mind that even a Grade Eight Flying Yi, when struck with the full force of a Shadow Dragon, would be damaged but not destroyed.
If a sufficiently thick amount of this special material were used, and combined with the fusion of a necromantic energy formation...
The strength it could achieve was something Li Chengyi himself eagerly anticipated.
He currently had the nation’s resources at his disposal.
He still held the privileges for these free resources.
Just as he was about to start gathering materials for his trial, a response came from the trade negotiations with the Shadow Eater.
"The Shadow Eater has confirmed they have prepared the materials, and the Non-gate ceremony is also ready," the voice of Rainbow Candy came through to Li Chengyi.
"Because Barton has left the Blind Spot on his own, their condition has changed to us capturing him and finding his whereabouts."
"Do you have any leads?" Li Chengyi asked, his hands conjuring two gray hands from ashen necromantic energy, carefully handling the fusion of three materials.
"Some," Rainbow Candy replied. "But do we really need to help these Shadow Eaters swallow Barton, creatures not of our own kind?"
She was clearly reluctant.
"Do you have other channels to obtain materials and open the Non-gate?" Li Chengyi countered.
"Not at the moment... Why must we use these materials, and why must we open the Non-gate?" Rainbow Candy hadn’t even known what a Non-gate was until recently.
It was only after Li Chengyi used it as a bargaining chip that she and the rest of the team exchanged information to understand what it entailed.
"You don’t understand... If there’s a chance in the future, you’ll comprehend," Li Chengyi said.
"Alright... you’re the boss, I’ll trust you," Rainbow Candy resignedly said. "The Shadow Eaters are quite insistent. They replied that they’ll give us the Non-gate ceremony, but not the materials, unless we help capture the person first. They also sent a warning that the ceremony carries significant risks, and if we can’t open it ourselves, we shouldn’t blame them for not providing the real deal."
"Ask them what the risks are," Li Chengyi requested.
After a short wait.
"That guy named Farn replied, there are only two ways to open the gate.
One is the moment of spiritual sublimation, where there’s a brief chance of opening the gate.
The second is at the brink between life and death, simply put, when one is near death, the consciousness of life enters a chaotic state, and it’s possible then to open the Non-gate and reach the external Black Sea.
The so-called ceremony can only increase the probability of opening the gate, and it actually isn’t that helpful."
"No wonder they are so generous," Li Chengyi mused thoughtfully.
"So, should we agree to their terms?" Rainbow Candy asked.
"What’s the situation with Barton?"
"He has mixed in with the Ding Family people, forming a team with a female Blind Spot Individual from the Ding Family named Ding Ruoxing."
"Once one enters the Blind Spot, they are faced with endless life-and-death crises, inescapable and unavoidable. Since he’s mixed up with the Ding Family, we don’t need to intervene for now," Li Chengyi concluded.
He thought for a moment, the Ding Family head, Jiu Yi, was the enchanting Ding Meng, immensely strong and notably having a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Emperor Yi.
It was not the time to get involved...
After all, he still relied on Emperor Yi’s national treasury support for his grand scheme of Imprint Orb production.
"Understood!" Hearing that they needn’t help the Shadow Eaters brought a noticeable relief to Rainbow Candy’s tone.
"Also, the Shadow Eaters are now brazenly devouring the living shadows of Tong City, supported by the nation, and in just a few days, thousands have mysteriously disappeared. The safety bureau’s phone lines are overwhelmed with reports. These creatures are simply using the living as food!" Rainbow Candy added.
"Don’t worry about it; Jiu Yi won’t just sit back and watch. It’s not our place to intervene there," Li Chengyi frowned.
Emperor Yi should have foreseen this when he decided to appease the Shadow Dragon.
Thus, clearly, these consequences were acceptable to Emperor Yi.
After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke up.
"I’ll make a trip to see Yserine. Perhaps, I can gain what I need from her mysterious teacher."
If he could get what he needed for the Non-gate opening and material acquisition from Yserine’s enigmatic teacher, the Shadow Eater’s three foolish dragons would become useless.
At that time... Seizing an opportunity to secretly strike, killing those three useless dragons, would be the plan.
He pondered if draining those three dragons of their blood and consuming their bodies would allow for an enhancement of his Shadow Dragon Bloodline.
