Chapter 229 The Alchemist
The astronomer's potion was completely digested, and the astrologer's gift was also digested, making Wang Xiaoming the strongest being below demigod and his strength was greatly enhanced.

However, these are not what Wang Xiaoming is most concerned about. At this moment, he is focusing his attention on the knowledge wilderness in the distant unknown space.

Following the mysterious induction, Wang Xiaoming saw the black tower at the core of the Knowledge Wilderness vibrate inexplicably, and then a secret message emerged in his mind.

'Mainly rely on your own strength to forge a magical item that reaches the level of a demigod, and then take the potion.'

Just a few words and Wang Xiaoming frowned, and began to wonder whether it would be possible to forge the evil spirit into a magical item.

If he were in the mysterious world, he would only need to obtain a Sequence 4 Beyonder Characteristic to complete the ritual, and he would have the opportunity to forge a demigod-level magical item.

Now that he is in this world where evil spirits are rampant, Wang Xiaoming can only find a way out from the evil spirits.

"The nature of evil spirits is special. If it is feasible, this ceremony will be free for me and can be completed quickly." Wang Xiaoming thought of the S-level evil spirits in the wilderness of knowledge and his brows relaxed.

He put away the telescope and looked at Zhou Tong: "Let's go back."

Back in the hotel, Wang Xiaoming lay on the big bed in the room, but his consciousness came to the knowledge wilderness of unknown space. He couldn't wait to start the experiment.

Sitting on a high-backed stone chair, Wang Xiaoming looked at the calm sea of ​​light in front of him. Hundreds of different evil spirits were floating in it. Four of them were in the front, namely a handful of yellow sand, a piece of armor, a dried corpse, and a black wooden bowl.

These were the four S-level evil spirits he captured in the underground passage.

After scanning the four evil spirits, Wang Xiaoming made a decision in his heart. He stretched out his hand to summon the yellow sand and dried corpses, preparing to melt the two evil spirits together and forge a magical item that could reach the demigod level.

After a period of research, Wang Xiaoming roughly understood the origins of these two evil ghosts. They should be the evil ghosts controlled by the ghost master Sand King Li Yanshou a thousand years ago. The two evil ghosts should be melted together to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

The armor was the object that Li Yanshou suppressed at that time, and the wooden bowl was Li Yanshou's supernatural weapon. Both of them already had the appearance of utensils. If they were to be refined again, Wang Xiaoming was worried that the ritual would not be recognized, so it would be better to refine another evil spirit directly.

"One can control the yellow sand, and the other can control the storm. When they work together, they are more powerful." Wang Xiaoming looked at the two evil spirits in front of him, and a white flame ignited in his hand. It was the forging fire.

As the forging fire ignited, formation runes flashed under Wang Xiaoming's feet. It was the smelting formation that would make it easier for him to smelt the two evil spirits.

The raging white flames enveloped the two evil spirits, transforming them into the shape of a furnace.

Feeling the changes in the furnace, Wang Xiaoming nodded silently. If he was forging an S-level evil spirit in the outside world, it might not be so easy. But now he is in the wilderness of knowledge, and all foreign things are suppressed and cannot resist Wang Xiaoming's forging at all.

During the forging process, Wang Xiaoming would occasionally hammer the runes drawn by his spirituality into the furnace to minimize the conflict between the two evil spirits.

Time passed by minute by minute. Even with the help of the Wilderness of Knowledge, forging an S-level evil spirit was very troublesome. And because it was related to the promotion ceremony, Wang Xiaoming attached great importance to this forging. In order to achieve perfection, he used a lot of blessing methods.

An hour later, the furnace in the shape of the forging fire gradually dissipated, revealing a black hooded cloak.

The cloak moved without wind and floated into Wang Xiaoming's hands. As soon as he got it, a look of satisfaction appeared on Wang Xiaoming's face. Not to mention the ability of this cloak, the feel alone is worthy of praise. It feels soft and silky, very comfortable, and a little cool.

Wang Xiaoming put it on directly, put on the hood, and then came to the ghost mirror to check it out.

In the bright mirror light, Wang Xiaoming, wearing a hooded cloak, looks like a wizard walking out of a mysterious world.

But before Wang Xiaoming could appreciate it carefully, a terrifying ghost appeared in the ghost mirror and began to imitate Wang Xiaoming's movements.

Wang Xiaoming frowned and was about to use the power of the Wilderness of Knowledge to attack the ghost mirror. Suddenly, a message came to his mind, and Wang Xiaoming's face suddenly showed joy:
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go for now."

After saying that, Wang Xiaoming disappeared into the wilderness of knowledge and returned to the real world, returning with him with the black hooded cloak he was wearing.

The reason why he was so anxious was because the information just now told him that the promotion ceremony had been completed and he could take the potion to become a demigod.

Demigod is a respectful title for high-sequence beings. As long as they reach Sequence Four, the Beyonder will have a preliminary mythical form, and their various abilities will be qualitatively improved, and the fatal weaknesses that originally belonged to humans will disappear.

The level of life will be completely different from that of ordinary humans, and Wang Xiaoming will truly embark on the path of becoming a god.

Standing up, Wang Xiaoming took off his hood and began to make preparations. He first called Zhou Tong and asked him to guard outside the door so that nothing would disturb him.

Then, step by step, build a spiritual wall in the room to avoid interference from the outside world.

Finally he sat on the sofa and began to sense the core of the wilderness of knowledge.

In the knowledge wilderness of the unknown space, the black tower shook, and a blue light fell from it and landed between Wang Xiaoming's eyebrows. It was the potion of the alchemist of the craftsman's path sequence four.

The moment the potion absorbed into his body, Wang Xiaoming was ready to face the pain that was to come, but surprisingly, he did not feel any changes.

strangeness? !

Wang Xiaoming opened his eyes and wanted to stand up to check, but something strange happened suddenly. He saw countless fluorescent lights appearing on his hands, legs, and even face.

As the fluorescent lights dissipated, his body began to become incomplete. At this moment, Wang Xiaoming's body was no longer made up of flesh and blood cells, but countless fluorescent lights.

Seeing his body disappearing, Wang Xiaoming immediately mobilized the spiritual power in his body and began to fight for his own body. He could feel that if more than half of his body disappeared, he would be completely dead.

During this period, the hooded cloak he had just refined began to take effect, turning into a barrier that prevented the fluorescent light from his body from escaping, which gave Wang Xiaoming enough time to save himself.

As Wang Xiaoming actively mobilized his spiritual power, his body gradually began to stabilize and the fluorescent parts were restored.

"It should be okay now!" Wang Xiaoming felt the changes in his body. At this moment, his body seemed to have been completely illuminated.

"With my current accumulation and the fact that this place is far away from the mysterious world, there is no reason for me to fail in the promotion."

As Wang Xiaoming thought about it, new changes began to occur in his body. Streams of heat appeared all over his body. His body, which had originally been transformed into light, began to turn back into flesh and blood. His spirit seemed to merge into the light. Countless dazzling images flashed before his eyes, and an inexplicable humming sounded in his ears. The whole process lasted very shortly, only about a minute.

After everything disappeared, Wang Xiaoming slowly stood up. Feeling the earth-shaking changes in his body, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Is this Sequence Four?"

As soon as Wang Xiaoming thought about it, his whole body underwent a drastic change. His lower body turned into a white flame. Although his upper body remained in human form, it was also surrounded by flames.

These flames have no temperature. They are exactly the forging flames that Wang Xiaoming has used before. However, after being promoted to Sequence Four, these flames have become more powerful.

"Is this my mythical form?" Wang Xiaoming appeared in front of the bathroom mirror as if by teleportation. Looking at himself in the mirror who looked like the legendary fire demon, he couldn't help but complain.

The mythical form is the last barrier for demigod-level extraordinary people. It is very powerful and consumes a lot of energy. Most importantly, it puts a great burden on the spirit, so Wang Xiaoming quickly canceled the mythical form and began to explore other abilities.

Recalling the extra information in his mind, Wang Xiaoming quickly mastered the two new abilities he gained from this promotion, namely, spiritualization and alchemy.

Neither of these two abilities is combat capability, but they are both very powerful. After Wang Xiaoming learned about them in detail, he couldn't help but smile.

Animation can give spirituality to inanimate objects. At first glance, it seems to have no effect, and it does not directly grant wisdom, but Wang Xiaoming thought of artificial intelligence. The world is different, so the use of abilities will naturally be different.

In the mysterious world, this ability can at most be used to create some machines with simple behavioral logic, but in this modern world, it can be used in a variety of ways.

One of the hottest concepts in the general world right now is artificial intelligence. During his time traveling around the country, Wang Xiaoming has also seen many people discussing artificial intelligence, as if people are about to enter the era of artificial intelligence.

However, Wang Xiaoming learned through his own channels that no force in the world has yet developed true artificial intelligence.

Because there is a real difficulty ahead, and that is wisdom, real wisdom. All the artificial intelligence on the market now is nothing more than a pile of algorithms and computing power, and they follow the path of exhaustive examples.

But as long as you ask some illogical questions, these artificial intelligences will be exposed because they are dead objects, have no intelligence, and cannot think.

"Now that I have the ability to empower spirits, I can try to give artificial intelligence real wisdom. As long as there is real artificial intelligence, the potential of human society will be truly stimulated."

"Whether it is developing internally to achieve universal harmony or developing externally to explore outer space, it is a simple matter."

"Of course, in the spiritual world, the ability to psychicize is also very important, especially in creating evil spirits. Although I have learned a lot of spiritual runes and can stack them together, these are dead things, not evil spirits. Now that I have psychicization, as long as I succeed once, dead things can come alive."

After experiencing the spiritual empowerment, Wang Xiaoming turned his attention to alchemy. As the name suggests, this ability is the ability to transform other substances into gold.

However, this is only the most superficial understanding. The real secret of alchemy is to transform the properties of matter. When it reaches the highest level, it can even create life.

This ability is of great help to Wang Xiaoming in studying and transforming evil spirits. It can even be combined with forging abilities to forge even more powerful magical creations.

After Wang Xiaoming saw the alchemy, many thoughts popped up in his mind. The strongest one was whether the gold he refined would be affected by supernatural powers?

Because this was related to his later application of alchemical abilities, Wang Xiaoming started the experiment directly.

He first took out a piece of gold from the Wilderness of Knowledge, then picked up a water cup on the table with his other hand and began to use his alchemical ability.

A golden light emerged from Wang Xiaoming's hands, wrapping the gold and the water cup, dyeing them golden.

After a long time, Wang Xiaoming slowly let go and put down the gold and the cup of water in his hand. The gold did not change, either in size or weight.

The water cup has completely turned into the appearance of gold. Even the most professional appraiser will identify it as real gold.

This is the ability of alchemy, which can completely copy known substances, just like copying gold just now. Of course, if you become proficient in the future, you can directly refine gold without using gold for reference.

In addition to refining existing substances, alchemists can also try to refine unknown substances, but this requires luck. You may work hard for a year and end up refining garbage, or you may be able to refine useful substances in one go.

Looking at the golden water cup in front of him, Wang Xiaoming silently mobilized the power of his cloak. Suddenly, an invisible transparent silk thread appeared in the air and cut towards the golden water cup.

This transparent silk thread is the ability used by the withered evil spirit to kill Liu Zida in the underground passage. It is all made up of wind and can directly summon hundreds of enemies. However, today is just a test, so Wang Xiaoming only summoned one.

No sound was heard. The transparent thread disintegrated into air the moment it touched the gold, without causing any impact on the golden cup.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief. This was the best outcome.

"But what is the reason why the supernatural power cannot have any effect on gold?"

Wang Xiaoming fell into deep thought. After the alchemy just now, he had a basic understanding of the structure of gold, but he did not find any useful information from it.

After thinking for a while and finding nothing, Wang Xiaoming gave up temporarily and began to continue paying attention to the changes after this promotion.

The ghost-exorcism bell and wilderness knowledge authority upgrades were not comprehensive and were temporarily ignored by Wang Xiaoming. He planned to study them in detail after the wizard path was promoted to sequence four.

Apart from these, what remains are the abilities of the previous sequences, which have all been improved in different ways after being promoted to Sequence Four.

The improvement of awakening memory is the smallest, but it becomes more convenient to use, and the identification ability is greatly improved. Even for some life forms, the identification ability can be used.

This reminded Wang Xiaoming of the time when he used his identification ability to identify a ghost rider. However, the identification failed because the ghost rider was a living being. Now that he has been improved, he has made up for that shortcoming.

As for other abilities such as strengthening, weakening, and forging, they have also been greatly improved.

Especially the only two combat abilities, life magnetic field and gravitational tide, have been epically enhanced to the level that a demigod should have.
