In the laboratory, various Alchemy equipment and rune carving knives are neatly placed.
"You cannot completely copy Wizard System's runes..." Benjamin picked up a piece of ore that could absorb energy, and then took out a crystal that was sensitive to life fluctuations.
"Then we can only refer to the method of connecting monks with external things in Immortal Cultivation System..."
Carve the rune for sensing life fluctuations on the crystal, carve the connection rune modified from Immortal Cultivation System on the ore, and then connect it with a conduction rune.
On the first try, the crystal cracked.
In the second attempt, the ore emitted strong energy fluctuations, which were more conspicuous than the detected life fluctuations themselves.
"The direction doesn't seem right." Benjamin wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Although it has successfully established a connection with the crystal, the ore itself does not know what "life" is. Even if it is engraved with runes that sense the fluctuations of life, it is simply releasing detection waves outward.
If you want to continue research, you need to find a method with higher resolution efficiency.
Benjamin browsed through the information again and accidentally saw a theory about "Plane Resonance" on Magic Network. Although it is obscure and difficult to understand, it mentioned a point of view - any substance in the deep structure of the plane will have a weak resonance with other substances, thereby perceiving each other.
Benjamin had a flash of inspiration.
Resonance!
What if instead of actively sending out detection waves, this passive resonance is used?
"Resonance..." he muttered.
Perhaps the concept of "perception" can be combined with some kind of material that can resonate with specific fluctuations, and then use runes to capture and amplify this resonance, and then use another rune to store the amplified "information" inside Wizard Artifact, or transmit it out in some covert way.
He began to redesign the runes, taking "passive resonance" and "sensory capture" as the core.
Time flies by in Benjamin's research.
On a quiet night.
Benjamin In the laboratory, a complex array composed of more than a dozen tiny runes was carefully embedded into a transparent crystal the size of a fingernail.
The crystal is a special material with a part of the concept of "perception" that he finally extracted using the Great Dao Library extraction method by consuming a variety of materials. It is extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations.
He started Talisman Seal, but there was no sound or energy fluctuation. The crystal only seemed to tremble slightly.
Benjamin Close your eyes and use your mental power to perceive.
Initially there was nothing.
But he did not give up, but based on the knowledge he had learned before, he established a deeper "resonance" connection between his soul and the crystal.
Then, he "felt" it.
A weak, fuzzy wave came from the crystal, which was the life breath of several plants stored in the storage room in the laboratory!
Success!
Although it is very weak, very blurry, and has a small range, he successfully refined a Rune Artifact prototype that can connect with his own soul for passive perception!
This prototype Wizard Artifact looks like a small transparent eyeball. It can float in the air, sense life and energy fluctuations within a limited range around it, and transmit this vague information to the Benjamin that resonates with it.
"Let's call it Eye of Investigation. Although it's rough, the direction is right." Benjamin's eyes flashed with excitement.
In the following days, Benjamin began to optimize this Eye of Investigation.
He tried to use different materials, improve the rune structure, and add hidden runes, trying to improve its perception range and clarity, while reducing its own energy fluctuations to make it more difficult to detect.
Through repeated attempts and failures, his understanding of runes and energy has deepened.
This kind of in-depth research made him unknowingly touch the bottleneck of Qi Refining's cultivation.
"It just so happens that my current cultivation level is a bit insufficient."
Benjamin feels that he has many ideas in his mind, but he cannot realize them due to limitations of his cultivation.
Due to contract reasons, Wizard System is not suitable for the moment to break through to Formal Wizard, but Immortal Cultivation System does not have this restriction.
Now, it's time to try to break through.
The seventh level of Qi Refining represents the entry into the later stage of Qi Refining, which is not only a significant increase in the amount of True Essence, but also a leap in the intensity and scope of spiritual consciousness.
Benjamin I feel that my cultivation has come naturally. I have repeatedly tempered my True Essence and my soul for a long time. At this moment, I feel like a bowstring that is full of power, ready to be fired at any time.
After arriving at the training room, he raised the concentration of elemental particles in the training room to the highest level through the control terminal. Benjamin sat cross-legged, preparing for a breakthrough.
Close your eyes, Benjamin devote yourself wholeheartedly to the guidance of your own True Essence and your spiritual consciousness.
The True Essence in the body is like a calm lake. At this moment, it is pulled by an invisible force and begins to stir.
Following the guidance of the technique, he gathered and compressed the huge True Essence, and launched an impact towards a higher level of energy.
This is not an easy process.
Every compression is accompanied by a slight sting in the meridians, and every impact tests the tenacity of the will.
Every compression may not be effective. Occasionally, the True Essence in the body recoils like a roaring wave, causing the meridians to emit a low roar.
Benjamin had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, but his will did not seem to be weakened. His mental power was like a powerful compressor, and he kept trying.
I don't know how long it took, maybe a day, maybe longer.
Click!
A slight sound, like glass breaking, sounded in Benjamin's perception.
The True Essence in the body is no longer restrained, as if it has found a new world, happily flowing into wider meridians.
The total amount of True Essence skyrocketed in an instant, becoming more solid and flowing like mercury.
What surprised Benjamin even more was that his mental power increased like an explosion.
The mental power that originally could only cover a range of less than a hundred meters now easily extends to hundreds of meters!
Everything around him was presented to his perception with unprecedented clarity.
The faint hum of energy in the laboratory, the crisp sound of cracking ore, and even the winding roots of some plant materials underground... all these tiny details seemed to be magnified and clearly passed into his mind.
The world seems to become more vivid at this moment, full of countless perceptible "lines" and "veins".
His extremely expanded mental power has even made him more sensitive to the surrounding elements. He can easily distinguish the types and concentrations of different elements, and can even feel their weak "emotions" - active, silent, restless...
He was successfully promoted to the seventh level of Qi Refining and officially entered the late stage of Qi Refining!
Feeling the surging True Essence in his body and the spiritual power radiating outward, a satisfied smile appeared on Benjamin's face.
The growth of this power is far more obvious than any previous promotion.
The first time after his promotion, Benjamin thought about his research on the investigation type Rune Artifact.
With his current level of cultivation, he should be able to make a better prototype.
