Chapter 379: Chapter 0379: Preparation (5400 added, request for monthly pass)

“Humph!”

Su Lu snorted coldly, releasing a wave of spiritual oppression.

The test tubes and boxes that had grown tiny feet and tendrils immediately shrunk back as if scared.

“Before crafting magical items, one must examine the materials…”

He casually picked up a twig marked with numerous eye-like scars and began to examine it closely.

This was the caution that any alchemist should exhibit.

“Hmm?”

Su Lu picked up the Spirit Ink, frowning: “The materials are fine, but this container…”

With the evolution of the attribute bar, it now had the ability to identify items.

During the trade, Su Lu had found that while the Spirit Ink was genuine, the glass bottle was actually an alchemist’s product!

[Secret Method Imprint Bottle]

[Product Description: This is a standard alchemical item, capable of storing high-grade materials from the Spirit World, preventing dissipation of their spirituality. At the same time, it holds a small surprise at the bottom.]

[Rank: 1]

He took out the Spirit Ink and turned the glass bottle upside down, letting his spiritual sense spread.

At the bottom of the bottle, on the originally smooth glass surface, spiritual lines emerged, forming a writhing little snake, hissing audibly.

“A secret technique imprint?”

Su Lu’s expression darkened, he touched the tiny snake with his finger and a string of information was revealed, indicating a time and location.

“Being able to manipulate events in front of so many legends, this hidden ability is quite astonishing… Is it the Ancient Snake Society?”

The trader who had offered the Spirit Ink was likely connected to the Ancient Snake Society!

And their higher-ups might very well be aware that the Void Stone and Spirit Ink were the key ingredients for the Seal Cards!

“Thinking about it this way… it is indeed…”

Su Lu chuckled in disbelief, his expression returning to normal.

By nature, the [Wandering Mage] profession was not evil, it even refrained from exploiting revenants and Cursed Spirits.

Even if his connection to the Ancient Snake Society was revealed, he had already passed the checks done in the Green Tree Castle and had nothing to worry about.

Wasn’t it the Eleventh Bureau who, after confiscating the [Doomsayer] from the Black Death Society, started using it themselves?

“Perhaps… I could find some clues regarding the sixth rank profession from this.”

Su Lu clenched his right hand, reducing the glass bottle to a fine, crystal-like powder that slipped through his fingers.

“Let’s focus on creating the Seal Cards!”

A few days later.

In his secret chamber.

Su Lu stared solemnly at three floating cards in front of him.

They were silver in appearance, as small as a child’s hand, blank on one side and depicting a swirling galaxy on the other.

“Finally, the last step…”

Su Lu exhaled: “The reason why a Seal Card is more advanced than a Trick Card and can be used by occupational people below the fifth level, is because it already has a pre-set ‘technique’ embedded into it, and has also been imbued with the power of the [Wandering Mage]…”

Feeling well-rested, his mind brimming with inspiration, he divided his power into three streams and channeled it into the hearts of the Seal Cards.

Whoosh!

His mental power plummeted sharply.

20!

10!

5!

A feeling of strain formed in Su Lu’s heart: ‘Not good… I overestimated myself…’

Looking at his depleting mental power, he merged the three streams into two and poured them completely into two different cards.

Vibrate!

The two cards instantly glowed with a silver light, becoming fully formed.

The third card was extremely unstable, after flickering weakly for a moment, it suddenly exploded and turned into ashes.

Su Lu was silent for a while, then collected the two cards and left the secret chamber.

“Master!”

Beryl, dressed as a maid, promptly greeted him with a curtsy.

“Mmm, was there anything urgent during the time I was in seclusion?”

“Lord Dunstan visited once, he seemed to hope that you would take on a task.” Beryl reported with another curtsy.

“Heh…”

Su Lu scoffed dismissively, ignoring him: “Prepare my bathwater and dinner, I need to rest…”

After a satisfying meal and replenishing drink, he laid on the soft sofa, contemplating the next plan.

With the Seal Cards done, the next step naturally was to seal the Cursed Spirits and improve his combat abilities!

In this regard, the Federation would be more than eager to accept while also silencing the Green Tree Castle.

“Beryl, notify Lord Dunstan that I am willing to contribute to the Federation’s peace and stability. The target will be the Cursed Revenants around… I want to see the most detailed and complete files!”

“At your command, master.”

Beryl curtsied and took her leave.

It wasn’t long before Dunstan personally came to visit.

“Su Lu… You want to deal with the Revenant incidents in various places?” After exchanging pleasantries, Dunstan asked, somewhat surprised.

In his heart, he had hoped that Su Lu would directly join the operation against the Ancient Snake Society.

However, most of the dreadful curses in the world were indeed released by the demons, which could also be considered a related task.

“Yes, as you know, my profession leans towards the spiritual. Dealing with these kinds of spiritual bodies is my speciality…”

Su Lu sipped his tea with a smile: “Where are the records I asked for?”

“They’re all here, absolutely accurate, and every piece of information has been verified.”

Dunstan solemnly handed over a file folder to Su Lu: “These are tricky guys that local transcendent powers couldn’t handle, be careful.”

“Don’t worry!”

Su Lu took the documents and began reading them intently.

The records inside the files were indeed very detailed, with conjectures clearly labelled. It was clear at a glance that they had been carefully compiled.

It could be said that professional exorcists, armed with such records, could reduce casualty rates by at least 20-30%.

“File No. A-290, Codename Abyss Verses!”

“First appearance location: Boji City!”

“Description: A terrible contagious meme, anyone who hears the verses praising the Abyss will be cursed, leading to horrific events. There are seven stanzas in total, each representing a different sin and cause of death…”

“Theory One: Current tests indicate that there is no way to prevent the death of those who hear the verses… The best solution is isolation, eternal isolation.”

“Theory Two: This could possibly be a curse from a true Abyss Demon!”

“A curse from a true demon?”

Su Lu’s expression changed.

This was not a fifth rank [Hell Demon], nor was it a demon creature, or lower or upper demons.

But a terrifying lord, who presided at the highest level of all demons!

So far, the only confirmed curse truly connected to demons was the Cycle of Time! An unsolvable curse that led to the creation of a time-traveler and a family.

“Abyss Verses?”

Su Lu recalled that he had heard related information before, but had not paid it much heed.

He hadn’t expected that this issue would be so terrifying.

“Fortunately… I did not impulsively try to solve this problem at that time. Beneath normalcy, lies unimaginable horror, such is the nature of a demon’s curse!”

“This is definitely ruled out… I would have to be stupid to go head-to-head with a demon!”

He grumbled inwardly and turned to the next page.
