Chapter 1 The Astonishment

Feng Qianyu was also astonished after seeing the Soul Water.

There were many delicacies and fine wines in God's Domain, but those attracted people with their taste. The Soul Water was different; it was an aura that attracted them.

"It seems I really underestimated the Zero Wing Guild," Feng Qianyu said with a light smile, shaking her head.

She had been worried that the five members of the Zero Wing Guild would waste the inheritance slots, but now it seemed that was unnecessary.

Soon after, Shi Feng activated the bronze tablet for the Secret Spell Inheritance, and Feng Qianyu and the others began to draw the magic arrays that appeared on the tablet.

As the rudimentary magic arrays drawn by everyone gradually took shape, these magic arrays resonated with the magic array on the bronze tablet, transforming into a dark space passage that swallowed everyone in one gulp.

In the blink of an eye, only Shi Feng was left in the conference room; everyone else had been teleported to the Secret Inheritance Space.

"I've done what I can; now it's up to you to see how far you can grow," Shi Feng said, watching the place where Aqua Rose and the others had disappeared for a while before turning around and leaving the conference room.

Meanwhile, Aqua Rose and the others were teleported to the front of a magnificent nine-story temple gate.

The temple was five or six hundred meters high, like a mountain, and it was awe-inspiring just to look at. The temple also exuded a suffocating pressure, making every move extremely difficult.

"Is this the Secret Inheritance Space?" Aqua Rose and the others couldn't help but look around curiously.

The bronze stone door in front of the temple was tightly closed, not looking like it could be entered at all. On the bronze stone door were engraved several large characters.

Bronze Temple!

Just then, an illusory image of a hunchbacked old man suddenly formed in front of the stone door. The old man looked kind and benevolent, but a cursory glance was enough for everyone to realize that even as an illusion, this old man was incredibly powerful.

Bronze Temple Guardian (Phantom), Saint Magister, Level ???, HP ????????

Saint Magister was the fifth-tier class of an Elementalist. They were apex existences in an empire, strong enough that even an emperor would treat them with respect. Yet, this Saint Magister was just a phantom. It was unimaginable how strong the real person would be.

"Chosen Ones, welcome to the Bronze Temple. You have six hours of inheritance time in the Bronze Temple, but this inheritance time can be extended, depending on your performance. The Bronze Temple has nine floors, each with several sets of secret inheritances. Each time you come, you can only choose one set, but because the tablet you obtained is incomplete, only one set is complete, and the rest are incomplete."

"Each floor of the nine-story temple can grant you one complete inheritance. Except for the first floor, where you can get a complete inheritance for free, each subsequent floor requires you to defeat your opponent to obtain a complete inheritance. Moreover, the higher the floor you ascend, the longer you can stay here."

"Passing the second floor will grant you an extra hour of stay, passing the third floor will grant you an extra two hours of stay, and passing the fourth floor will grant you an extra four hours of stay. The subsequent floors follow this pattern. Each set of inheritance has only one inheritance opportunity per floor. No matter how many times you come in the future, if you cannot pass the previous floors, you will not be able to obtain the inheritance. I hope you remember this."

After the Bronze Temple Guardian finished speaking, he dissipated directly, and the bronze door opened as well.

"So this is the Secret Inheritance Space," Aqua Rose said, understanding dawning on her.

No wonder it was said that the Secret Inheritance Tablet was most effective the first time you entered, and the effect would diminish each time after. After all, the higher the player's skills level, the more difficult it becomes, like skill completion; the closer it is to 100%, the harder it is to achieve.

If you reached the fourth floor last time, but you can't reach the fifth floor the next time, you won't be able to obtain any inheritance, which is equivalent to coming for nothing. And each set of inheritance opportunities only has nine chances.

Then Aqua Rose, Feng Qianyu, and the other ten entered the Bronze Temple.

The first floor of the Bronze Temple was like a stadium, with a huge magic water sphere in the center, obviously a place to receive inheritance.

Feng Qianyu and the others had been to the inheritance space before, so they were familiar with the process. They took out magic beverages from their backpacks and gulped them down, entering the magic water sphere without a word.

As soon as Feng Qianyu and the other five entered the magic water sphere, they disappeared as if they had been teleported to another space.

"Aqua Rose, let's go in too," Ziyan Liuyun said excitedly.

Secret Spell Inheritance, that was a combat skill for magic classes. If they mastered it, it would definitely greatly improve their skills.

"Yes, let's go in too," Aqua Rose nodded and took out the Soul Water from her backpack, gulping it down.

Soul Water, when drunk, could increase the player's mental strength for a duration of two hours, with a cooldown time of ten hours.

The moment Aqua Rose drank it, she felt like she was no longer herself.

Her mind was unprecedentedly clear, and her senses were better than ever before. Just by thinking about the Void Steps she had learned before, countless thoughts and inspirations emerged.

Aqua Rose did not know that as long as players drank the Soul Water, they would enter a state of hyper-awareness, a state that could not be achieved by magic density alone.

"Guild Leader is too amazing; the effect of this Soul Water is ten times better than Bai Guo Jia Niang," Banxia Qingcheng exclaimed.

When she joined the Zero Wing Guild, she thought Bai Guo Jia Niang was magical enough, allowing her to improve a lot in a short period of time. Her original skill completion was only 80% to 82%, but during the time she joined the Zero Wing Guild, her skill completion had increased to 85%. Don't underestimate this little increase; the power released by the skill had undergone a qualitative change.

Zhao Yueru didn't know what to say at this point.

Every time she thought she was about to see through all of Shi Feng, the more she understood him, the more mysterious he seemed, like a Pandora's box, hiding countless secrets.

She was very surprised when she learned that Ye Feng and Hei Yan were the same person because she knew very well what Ye Feng was like back then. He definitely didn't have any backers, and now he was the Guild Leader of the number one guild in Star-Moon Kingdom.

Then, after everyone felt the effects of the Soul Water, they directly entered the magic water sphere.

In a special forging room in Candlelight Trading Firm, Melancholic Smile brought a full two thousand ebony logs. Each group of ebony was twenty logs. Although the special forging room was very large, it couldn't hold two thousand logs, so Shi Feng could only put them into his backpack space and take out two or three hundred logs to experiment with.

"Why is it failing?" Shi Feng held the blood-red Philosopher's Stone, looking at the ebony logs on the ground with a puzzled expression. "Could it be that ebony cannot be strengthened into Azure Ebony?"

He had used more than two hundred ebony logs before, performing elemental strengthening again and again.

But the final result was either turning into ashes or remaining unchanged. There was no third result.

If others knew that Shi Feng had wasted more than two hundred ebony logs, they would probably vomit blood three liters.

Although ebony was not a rare wood, the quantity was also not high. Each log was sold for 20 silver coins on the market, and the price was only lower than magic crystals. More than two hundred logs was more than 40 gold, which could buy an ordinary mount…

Then Shi Feng used the three skills of Alchemic Conversion, Elemental Refinement, and Alchemic Synthesis, but the result was still the same. Especially Alchemic Synthesis, which used fifty ebony logs at a time, didn't produce Azure Ebony. Instead, it produced a Purple Origin Wood, which could be said to be an unexpected gain.

Purple Origin Wood was a rare wood, like Adamantite Wood, and was one of the good materials for making boats, but using fifty ebony logs to exchange for one Purple Origin Wood was obviously not worth it, because Purple Origin Wood could be bought for only six or seven gold coins on the market, while synthesizing it with ebony required ten gold.

"No, my method is wrong." Shi Feng looked at the repeated failures and suddenly remembered something.

The main reason why ebony could become Azure Ebony was because of the density of magic. Ebony only appeared in places with high magic density, which was why Azure Ebony was rare.

"If there isn't enough magic, then just make up for it," Shi Feng smiled slightly and took out a large pile of magic crystals from his backpack.

The first time he used a magic crystal, it was unsuccessful, but the ebony was fine.

The second time he used two, the result was failure.

The third time he used three.

…

"This is already the thirtieth!"

Shi Feng was speechless, but he could only grit his teeth and try, taking out thirty magic crystals at a time to strengthen.

As the magic crystals dissipated, magic frantically poured into the ebony, and immediately a system prompt sounded in his ear.

System: Congratulations to the player for successfully strengthening and obtaining Azure Ebony.
