Chapter 433: Solutions to Earth Vein Energy Issues
After reading, I sighed again. The methods recorded in the book felt less reliable than the Earth Vein Life Transformation Technique.
Because using Earth Vein Magic is also borrowing the power of Earth Vein Life to achieve it.
This requires establishing a Witch Contract with Earth Vein Life, or a borrowing contract, or even a life symbiosis, etc. However, I have never even seen this kind of Earth Vein Life; how can I directly establish contact with them?
In the end, I shook my head. It seems it’s a bit difficult to start with the books on Earth Vein Energy from the library.
If the Knowledge Tree Spellbook cannot establish any relationship with Earth Vein Energy, then all subsequent plans would be mere fantasies.
Maybe it’s better to use external resources honestly. Perhaps I could look for alchemy related to Earth Vein Energy. I have to say, sometimes it really is necessary to rely on alchemy to save the day. The phrase I heard during my alchemy classes, “Everything can be turned into alchemy,” doesn’t seem to be a boast.
But I still didn’t put down the book in my hands because I became interested in many terms in it.
For example, the spells that cannot be learned and innate spells mentioned in the book. But I remembered there was a type of spell called innate spells, which are “Elf Spells.” Until they encountered witches… and then, Elf Spells became learnable spells, oh no, they became spells compiled into spellbooks for use.
For instance, the “Protection of Elemental Sprite” I mastered is one of the innate spells possessed by Elemental Sprites. At that time, when modifying this spell into a customizable selection of corresponding elements, I had looked into relevant information.
Among the spells that cannot be learned, I also saw “Unique Spells” and “Forbidden Techniques,” but the book does not describe these aspects much. Perhaps the author is not very familiar with it either, merely saying that unique spells refer to spells that will not appear a second time in the Void.
The meaning of “second” is that even if a copy is made, this type of spell cannot be used, possibly involving a certain concept, rather than just being a technical issue.
There’s even less description about Forbidden Techniques; they seem to belong in the category of unique spells, meaning no two exactly identical ones can exist, but for it to be listed separately shows its uniqueness. The only person mentioned as possessing such a special spell, “Forbidden Technique,” is not a person but a witch—the Primordial Witch.
This answer… is not surprising at all.
Closing the book, I returned all related materials on Earth Vein Energy to their original positions and then headed toward the area related to alchemy.
Upon reaching this area, I noticeably saw more seniors around here, and now and then, I could spot a senior buried in books, looking very serious between the shelves.
I also took out the pair of glasses that Teacher Ji gave me and put them on. Learning alchemy can indeed lead to hair loss, as it is said to touch upon extraordinary truths, and the learning threshold is exceedingly high.
If it’s alchemy related to Earth Vein Energy, I speculate that it is very likely related to the branch of Energy Alchemy.
Following this line of thought, I searched through every bookshelf one by one, and with the help of the lift here, I finally found the alchemy related to Earth Vein Energy in a relatively empty spot.
Indeed, it’s always true that obscure things are found in corners.
“Earth Vein Energy… Energy Alchemy… hmm…”
I rummaged through the books, hoping to find some breakthroughs, and this looking lasted for half a day.
Even with the Knowledge Tree as my study aid, the obscure nature of alchemy exceeded my expectations. After all, to accomplish something in this craft requires supporting means, though alchemy is said to be universal, its complexity is indeed very mind-boggling.
After spending a long time, I finally grasped the essence of what was expressed among those complicated “alchemy terms.”
It is very difficult for a life that has broke free from the Earth Vein Shackles to connect to this Earth Vein system.
Yes, Earth Vein Energy is separately categorized into its own system in the field of Energy Alchemy.
It is a type which can be discussed separately.
And in order for alchemy to connect to Earth Vein Energy, the low-threshold method is… Transformation.
Yes, it is the simplest transformation between extraordinary energies. Such a means also exists in the realm of spells and is quite simple. It seems the earlier searches for Earth Vein-related spell information didn’t mention this aspect due to its obscurity.
After all, in my view, if Earth Vein Energy is transformed into other extraordinary energies, is it still Earth Vein Energy? It cannot carry information and data.
Therefore, seeing this line of thought in alchemy, I instantly realized.
The application of Earth Vein Energy in the field of alchemy is energy transformation; this transformation process is essentially about bypassing the “world locality” of Earth Vein Energy, allowing non-native beings to borrow the power of the Earth Vein.
So, essentially it is not about controlling Earth Vein Energy, but about controlling the secondary energy of Earth Vein Energy.
But I do not care about this, because my goal has never been the Earth Vein Energy itself, but the memories, information, and data it carries!
“This method is feasible, and there’s also an energy transformation alchemy ceremony… this is just considerate.”
I flipped through the following content, feeling like I struck gold!
With this, those fantasies of mine could possibly become reality!
The birth of the idea of Knowledge Tree Derived Earth Vein Information Appraisal, in a certain aspect, has to thank those Excavators. Aren’t they just playing a game?
One of the most common abilities in games is item information, right?
So the appraisal technique was born from this inspiration.
After recording all knowledge in this area, I carefully placed the book back in its position.
The goals for my visit to the library today had mostly been achieved. There was still some time left today; I’d have a good rest tonight to prepare for tomorrow’s exam.
Right now, I remembered that I heard those guys in the dormitory mention the monthly exam tomorrow; surely I should see their figures in the library to cram knowledge today?
After finishing these tasks, at this moment, I felt light, even my thoughts became quite active. As for the research on this alchemy, I’m in no hurry; after all, there’s no time now, or rather, the timing is off.
Moreover, all of this is still for the service of the Knowledge Tree, naturally, it requires one go, otherwise when my thoughts get interrupted by the exam, I wouldn’t know where to cry.
I made a special round in the library, also looked around the reading area and self-study area, and finally saw a familiar face in an inconspicuous place.
“You guys are here?”
Seeing they hadn’t noticed me yet, I walked directly to Hong Chanyi, who was the most animated at the moment.
“Ah…” At that moment, Hong Chanyi gasped sharply, then looked behind her, “Sister Xiao Han? What are you doing here?”
“Of course I’m here to dig out information. How is your revision going?” I found a spot and sat down. Once again, our dormitory people gathered, right in the library.
“I feel like I’m dying from revision… too much to memorize for this Elemental Theory, right? And the Spell Structure Theory, we haven’t even touched many spellbooks, is it really necessary to learn this?”
“Spell Structure Theory is very necessary. It explains the basic structure of spells. Don’t think everything is okay just because you have spellbooks; these foundational things are still required to be learned.” Faced with Hong Chanyi complaining at that moment, I directly retorted.
Then, I stretched out my hand and traced circles on the table, several runes appeared, and then, flowing according to the ceremony, a spell effect enveloped our small area.
Seeing this scene, Hong Chanyi’s eyes lit up immediately.
“Cool! What spellbook effect is this?”
After Hong Chanyi finished speaking, her gaze was still on the operating spell runes, and her eyes widened a lot. Common spellbooks wouldn’t have such visibly external spell structures; at most, they would show the condensed spell ceremony structure.
So this spell still looked quite impressive.
“This is a soundproofing spell, so didn’t you know this was the library?”
“Uh…” Hong Chanyi paused, realizing and looking a bit embarrassed.
“But now you can speak freely; within the spell effect, you won’t disturb others, and others also won’t disturb you.” I smiled and said as I withdrew my hand, “Additionally… this isn’t something a spellbook could do, you know?”
“Not from a spellbook? Then how did you do it?”
“Didn’t you learn about Spell Structure Theory? This is a spell! Do you think spells can only be released through spellbooks?”
The first-semester courses for new students included explanations of spell structure, but it wasn’t very in-depth. It only instilled that basic concept to students. I could say this was one of the courses I held the highest hopes for, but soon this course was overshadowed by the existence of spellbooks.
With spellbooks available, who would painfully learn the basics of spells?
Added to that, the weakening spell’s impact, and the positive feedback for learning this basic knowledge was extremely low, which struck a heavy blow to the learning interest.
“So this is a hand-free spell release?”
“Yes, this is quite common, isn’t it? For instance, the divine arts mastered by Holy Angels and the Elf Spells mastered by Elves operate on similar principles. It’s just that the Witch Academy has the shortcut of spellbooks.”
I smiled at Yu Yatian, who had just spoken.
“Then if I’ve completely understood the Spell Structure Theory course, can I also hand-craft spells, Sister Xiao Han?” Hong Chanyi asked eagerly.
“Probably, but I’m not too sure,” I said uncertainly. After all, the actual knowledge taught in this course was not much; even explanations about runes, rituals, etc. were minimal. At most, they conducted simple attempts based on straightforward cases and required spellcasting materials to release spells normally. Otherwise, like when I attempted the Fireball Spell before, I could only produce a few sparks.
The Greater Weaken Spell, to some extent, protected the Main World, but it also caused significant trouble for extraordinary teaching.
But that’s the nature of the extraordinary world; if you don’t find ways to learn, there are plenty of people who will learn. The main reason is that the Main World is too comfortable.
Such an atmosphere cannot cultivate strong individuals.
“Sister Xiao Han, why don’t you teach us? You usually don’t go to class; how does all that knowledge get into your head? I can’t get this knowledge into mine…”
“Teach you? Hmm… it’s not impossible?” I thought for a moment and remembered the illusionary clone combined with the Knowledge Tree, which really could serve as a good personal tutor.
“Eh? Really? Sister Xiao Han, you’re really going to teach us? I was just joking!”
“It’s fine; helping friends is what friends do. If you can accept my teaching methods.” Before I finished speaking, a spell effect directly locked onto them.
Immediately, they found another person had appeared beside them.
“Two… two Sister Xiao Hans!”
“Is this… is this the Illusionary Clone? How amazing!”
For a moment, several of them opened their mouths in surprise. Although they knew I had the Illusionary Clone spell, they had not experienced the wonder of this spell themselves.
After all, those who have not been struck by the spell cannot see what this truly is.
“Hmm, this can be considered an Illusionary Clone, but I’ve made some modifications.” The Illusionary Clone at this moment is linked with the Knowledge Tree; her appearance represented my current highest knowledge. Other than lacking a physically existing entity, her existence is entirely a perfect assistant cooperating with me.
“Learning something should go according to your own plans and steps; I won’t interfere too much. If you encounter any problems, feel free to ask my Illusionary Clone.”
“This ability is too cool, right? Do we each have a dedicated little clone of Sister Xiao Han? One-on-one tutoring?”
“Yes. You can’t see each other’s clones, after all, you wouldn’t want to see five of me at once, right?”
“Oh~ that scene would definitely be spectacular!”
“Don’t get caught up in the spectacular; tomorrow is the monthly exam! Hurry up and review!” At that moment, Hong Chanyi heard my voice, which was actually the clone speaking.
“Sister Xiao Han, your clone is quite fierce, huh?”
“Hmm~ this is a clone controlled by the subconscious. Some of her behaviors depend to some extent on your impressions of me. Do you see me as fierce in your eyes?” I smiled and looked at Hong Chanyi asking.
“No, no, no! How could that be? Sister Xiao Han is the strongest and the gentlest!”
“Alright~ stop talking. If you can’t compliment, you don’t have to say anything.” I quickly interrupted her words.
After finding them some tasks to do, I also tried to lightly attempt this alchemy here since I needed to continue this spell so I couldn’t stray too far.
As for tomorrow’s theoretical assessment, I’m not worried about it.
Moreover, do they really think I haven’t been reviewing tomorrow’s content?
Aren’t these people in front of me reviewing? The problems they encounter, I would understand as well, and there would be traces in the Knowledge Tree.
So they’re learning is also helping me learn; it’s a win-win.
I feel like this method could potentially be applied to more people?
But I’m not sure how much I can handle. However, taking care of Class 14 as a whole might… be worth a try.
I’m sure Teacher Ji would be very happy for me to share the pressure and improve class grades, right?
Temporarily putting this thought aside, after all, this matter can be left until before the next monthly exam. Moreover, not everyone is willing to accept my help.
Right now, I want to cross over this hurdle with Earth Veins. While trying to research this alchemy, I opened the Earth Vein System.
After all, this is a library; if anything unexpected happens while researching alchemy, it wouldn’t be good. I should simulate success using the Earth Vein System before actually trying it out.
