I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 229: The First Star Realm Sacrifice (First Update 3500)

In the dark basement of the Henning Mansion, six candles suddenly lit up.

The dim candlelight reflected on a figure wearing a camel-colored hooded robe and leaning on a black staff. The stern face flickered in the flickering candlelight.

In addition to this figure, one can vaguely see that the central part of the basement has been inlaid with silver metal to form a magic circle consisting of a hexagram and a circle with an area of ​​about ten square meters.

There is a strange symbol on each corner of the hexagram.

These symbols represent the six major schools of thought: change, enchantment, life, evocation, spell, and prophecy.

In the center of the hexagram formation is an altar more than one meter high, and on the altar are six small golden bottles. In each of the small bottles, there is a golden light band flowing.

The atmosphere was solemn and eerie, as if some evil ritual was being performed.

"Let's start." A calm and steady voice sounded in the basement.

The man then took out a one-dollar coin and placed it on the symbol representing the school of enchantment.

Then, the man took out several other things and placed them on the symbols of each school.

"Master... isn't it a bit far-fetched to say that this coin represents the school of enchantment?" When only the last symbol was left to be placed on, a weak voice sounded from the corner.

"How is it far-fetched?" The voice just now sounded, and said confidently.

"This coin is just a nickel-plated steel core. Why is it worth one dollar? Isn't it the value that humans give to it? After a nickel-plated patch is made to look like a coin, everyone starts to think that it is not a piece of iron, but money. What can better represent the school of enchantment than a coin?"

The hooded man reached out and took off his hood. It was Fang Yu, the only remaining arcane wizard in the world, the successor of Lorin Tower, the founder of Yuzu Technology, and the conqueror of multiple anime dimensions.

"B-but, even if the coin's meaning is correct, then this compass, playing cards, lighter, and Transformers..." Colorful spots of light appeared on Yuzu's body, and she was obviously very confused.

Fang Yu said proudly: "Transformers of course represent transformation. Besides, where can I find slimes as sacrifices on Blue Planet?"

"The compass symbolizes direction and guidance. It can lead people to find the right path. It is a perfect match for the school of spells."

"Playing cards themselves can be used for divination, so why can't they represent the linguistic school?"

"Needless to say, the lighter? The transformation of energy is, of course, the School of Transmutation."

At this point, Fang Yu finally remembered and couldn't help but slap his forehead: "It's all your fault. I still have one last move to make. Luckily I didn't forget, otherwise the spell would have failed because of your interruption."

After saying that, Fang Yu took out a small paper box from his pocket, and took out three small pieces of square plastic packaging connected together. He first placed all three pieces on the symbol of the School of Life, then after thinking about it, he tore off two pieces and put them back in his pocket, leaving only one piece on top.

And on the plastic sheet, there are a few big letters printed: DUREX.

"Okay, everything is ready. What should we do next?" Fang Yu patted Youzi who was still confused beside him.

The colorful light spots on Yuzu's body lasted for three or four seconds before gradually disappearing. "It's very simple, Master. Infuse magic power into the altar, then chant the spell to summon the astral channel. The spell has been given to you before."

Fang Yu nodded, took a deep breath, placed his hand on the magic circle in the center of the altar, and began to inject magic power into it.

Magic power continued to pour in, and the large magic circle made of silver metal on the ground lit up in circles from the inside out.

This light is not simply illumination, but it is as if the magic circle suddenly has life and comes alive.

"Stellae deorum, audite vocem meam, Per caelos et terras, potentiam tuam voco. Lux et tenebrae, conjunctae in harmonia, Adveni et dona tua impartire." (Note 1)

Obscure spells echoed in the basement where the walls had turned mud into stone.

As Fang Yu chanted, the symbols representing the six schools in the outer circle of the magic circle also lit up at the same time!

The Transformers representing change and the playing cards representing prophecy suddenly caught fire with blue flames, followed by the coins, compass and lighter as well!

The newly bought disposable lighter did not explode in the blue flame, but melted slowly like other objects, like a candle!
Why is there no movement in this Durex Life Capsule I just bought? If this doesn’t represent life, what else can represent life?

Just as Fang Yu was feeling anxious, a blue flame also appeared on the square-shaped life bag!
Even more intense than the others!

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, how could my judgment be wrong?

This is the bag of life. Over the past few decades, countless seeds of life have been buried here.

As the Transformers, lighters, playing cards, compasses, coins, and Durex burned, blue smoke continued to gather above the altar. As the smoke grew thicker, the energy fluctuations of the magic net above the altar became more intense, enveloping the blue smoke to form a blue vortex!

"Buzz~" After the vortex was formed, the violent energy of the magic net seemed to begin to stabilize, maintaining the rotation of the vortex. Looking up from the bottom, there were flashes of silver light in the blue smoke vortex. Apart from the silver light, it was impossible to tell what color was inside.

This feeling is like being born blind. A born blind person cannot imagine any color, including black.

If you want to experience this feeling, you can cover one eye with your hand. What the covered eye feels is what a person born blind would feel.

Nothingness. But the difference here is that even if Fang Yu observes with his eyes, he still can't see any other colors except the silver light, just like a blind person with his eyes open.

So this is the channel to the star realm.

"Master, it's time to offer the sacrifice."

Fang Yu nodded and began to chant a different spell: "Spiritus sacri, offero tibi animam puram, per flammam sacram, accipe sacrificium meum. Elementa omnia, conjungite in uno, ut crystallus astralis fiat."

After the spell was chanted, an inexplicable suction force seemed to arise in the vortex, and the six spiritual bottles placed on the altar shook gently, as if they were about to be plunged into the vortex.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yu lightly snapped his fingers, and the six spiritual bottles shattered at the same time. The light golden spirituality quickly spread and was drawn into the light blue smoke vortex.

"Virtus stellarum, descend in terram, Per hoc sacrificium, potentiam tuam exhibe. Crystallus astralis, in luce et potentia, Ex hoc die, dono meo sit."

Fang Yu chanted the third spell loudly, and each time he chanted, a large part of the magic power in his body would be consumed. After chanting three times, a full one third of the magic power in his body was consumed!

After the chanting of the spell ended, the starlight in the vortex fell from the air like a waterfall and gathered on the hexagon of the miniature magic circle in the center of the altar.

After about twenty seconds, the starlight in the vortex stopped descending, but the six corners of the hexagram on the altar kept flashing with crystal light. If you look closely, you can see that there is a transparent crystal as big as rice at each corner. Tiny meteors flashed in the crystal from time to time, which was very dazzling.

"Gratias tibi ago, deorum stellae, pro dono hoc mirabili, potentia tua. Cerimonia completa est, lux recedit, Crystallus astralis, nunc meum est."

Fang Yu chanted the last spell, and the blue smoke vortex in the air became smaller and smaller. Finally, there was a "pop" sound in mid-air, and after a cluster of blue lightning burst out, it disappeared.

"Is this the Star Crystal? Sixty thousand spiritual powers are exchanged for six Star Crystals the size of rice grains? What is the use of this thing?"

Fang Yu picked up a star crystal out of curiosity, turned on the light in the basement, and shone it into the light.

The completely transparent oval crystals really look a bit like completely transparent rice.

The progress of collecting spirituality was very smooth. In just three months, Fang Yu had collected more than 17 units of spirituality. He was not even a fifth-level mage yet, and was still far from reaching the ninth level.

In this case, first familiarize yourself with the process of communicating with the star realm and exchange some star realm specialties.

There are quite a lot of special products in the astral realm, such as the Broken Mirror. This kind of thing, which is only produced in the astral realm and is like a broken lens, can see the cracks in time and space and the intersection of time and space such as the astral realm, the main material plane, and the demiplane.

Broken mirrors can be touched and used by intelligent life in the main material world, but they cannot be processed. They are not hard. To be precise, as pure spiritual creations, they do not have the concept of hardness, and cannot be processed with any processing tools on the main plane.

Unless arcane powers are used, they will be like a phantom, which can be seen and sensed but not touched.

This is an item between spirit and material.

Another example is the Eye of Astor, a gem that is rarer and more precious than the Astral Crystal. It can give the holder the ability to see through any disguise and read minds for a long time.

Moreover, the holder cannot block this mind-reading ability. As long as the Eye of Astor is integrated with him, he will be forced to hear the voices of all intelligent life around him. The final outcome for these people is either to live in seclusion and exile themselves in the mountains, or to turn into an antisocial lunatic.

Star Crystal is the most important specialty of the Star Realm, and it is also one of the few specialties of the Star Realm that possesses almost all the material properties.

"Astral crystals are good stuff." Yuzu flew over slowly, flashing orange light. "If you integrate astral crystals into magic equipment, then the magic equipment will have the effect of soul binding. Even the Supreme Mage cannot remove this binding."

"The Star Crystal can also store spiritual energy for a long time. The spiritual energy stored in it will not be lost even after tens of millions of years. However, the spiritual energy bottle will have a slight leakage phenomenon. The longest storage period is only ten years. In other words, one tenth of the spiritual energy in the spiritual energy bottle will dissipate every year."

"In addition, if you embed the astral crystal in a magic wand to solidify its properties, it can amplify most spells."

"Of course, the most important thing is that the Star Crystal, as the most important specialty of the Star Realm, has a strong spatial affinity and can resonate with almost any area in the Star Realm. The Star Realm overlaps with any position in the main plane. Master, do you know what this means?"

Yuzu kept the secret.

"What does it mean?" Fang Yu was curious.

"This means that as long as you brand a Star Crystal and throw it anywhere you have explored as a beacon, the teleportation array alchemical item you set up with other Star Crystals can teleport you to the location of this Star Crystal!"

Teleport!
I go.

Fang Yu suddenly became excited.

Long-distance teleportation is a 7th-level spell! A 13th-level spell that can only be mastered by a 7th-level wizard!
If I had the Star Crystal and made the corresponding alchemical items, I, a level 4 mage, would be able to teleport! ?
Although it is not as effective as the 7th-ring teleportation and can only teleport to a fixed point, I don’t know when I can reach level 13, so it is obviously not as practical as using the star crystal to teleport now.

What a pity, 60,000 units of spirituality only exchanged for six rice-grain-sized star crystals. If there were more, I would have more anchor points.

"Eh? Your true form seems to be the Star Crystal?" Fang Yu looked at Youzi with ill intent.

Grapefruit:???
Note 1: The spell is not a waste of words. So many letters only take up one character in the starting point statistics.
