A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 1077 - 1063: Potion Preparation Room
After being teased by the City Lord, Loloya's face turned red instantly, and she began to babble about "accumulating strength and releasing it later" and "not rushing to break through."
The library was suddenly filled with a lively atmosphere.
Baiyu thought that the people in the Great City weren't much different from ordinary folks.
Before this, he always believed that the City Lord was someone who was solemn, extremely serious, and efficient in handling affairs.
But now having interacted with her.
She was almost like an ordinary person.
She had the same desires and emotions, happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy, completely different from the cold and merciless Divine Spirits described in books.
"Alright, let's discuss the serious matter."
The City Lord closed the book and stretched comfortably: "Although you've been chosen by the Black Moon, it is now in a state of frenzy, so it cannot teach you or provide an Oracle to impart Divine Technique knowledge to you.
Therefore, I will have to teach you in this respect.
Actually, transitioning from mundane to Extraordinary, and from Extraordinary to Divinity, these don't require Blood Qi but are related to your spiritual endurance, spirituality, and resistance to contamination.
In other words, an ordinary person, if able to withstand pollution and given sufficient Sequence Magic Elixirs, could potentially ascend directly to a Demigod or even the Divine level.
Of course.
This is only theoretical; it cannot exist in reality.
No one is born with such powerful spiritual endurance and resistance to contamination, nor is their spirituality sufficient. Most ordinary people would go mad after consuming Sequence Nine Magic Elixirs."
Baiyu understood the meaning within, "So you're saying, Divine Technique is only related to spirituality and the Extraordinary Sequence, and not Blood Qi strength?
Is it possible for someone in the Meteor Realm to know Divine Technique, but not in the Eclipse Moon Realm?"
The City Lord nodded: "Yes, and there's another point to note, the strength of certain Divine Techniques is also related to faith.
For some specific Divine Techniques.
The more unwavering the faith, the stronger the Divine Technique's power, but the Divine Technique you are about to learn does not fall under this category."
With that.
The City Lord walked to the central table and gestured Baiyu to sit opposite her.
Baiyu naturally had no objections.
He soon sat opposite the City Lord, like a middle school student listening to a teacher's lecture.
Though he still couldn't clearly see the City Lord's appearance.
Baiyu could sense her thinking.
A kind of Aura seemed to surround her, affecting the emotions of those around her, incredibly magical.
"I am pondering over where to begin teaching; I haven't taught students for many years, the last time was before the Radiant Calendar…"
The City Lord's voice seemed somewhat troubled.
But Baiyu sharply caught the words "Radiant Calendar"; the Radiant Calendar has been used for over a thousand years, which means the City Lord is at least a thousand years old.
Almost like a living fossil.
No.
A thousand years ago, the City Lord could already act as a mentor, so her real age must be even older. A woman's age is indeed a mystery… if anyone dared to ask the City Lord's age now, they'd probably be turned into a headless statue.
Especially someone like her, who is of advanced age.
"What do you know about Divine Technique?"
At this point.
The City Lord planned to tailor her teaching to Baiyu's needs.
However, apart from witnessing Book Elder using Divine Technique twice, Baiyu hadn't had much engagement with it.
So Baiyu could only respond with a bewildered look.
"Then what is your Magic Elixir Sequence? I seldom see you use Extraordinary Abilities; is it some mutated sequence codes?"
The City Lord continued to inquire.
She could forcibly and crudely investigate Baiyu's Magic Elixir abilities, but that is a tactic for dealing with enemies. Such probing is tantamount to issuing a challenge.
She naturally wouldn't conduct such an unreasonable action.
Therefore, to teach Baiyu Divine Technique, she must be clear first.
Baiyu thought for a moment and felt there's not much necessity to hide; previously, he dared not reveal his Sequence Magic Elixir due to his weak strength—fear of attracting trouble.
But now, he possessed sufficient power.
And the person asking him was the City Lord of the Great City; she surely wouldn't fancy an incomplete Extraordinary Sequence.
In fact.
Baiyu suspected that the City Lord might hold not just one complete sequence for godhood.
Like Sequence Nine to Sequence One.
A complete chain.
Given all that, Baiyu straightforwardly declared: "My initial sequence magic elixir is called Prayer Technique Apprentice.
The Extraordinary Abilities… increase personal resistance, offering higher immunity to distortions, pollution, and whispers, while faster learning of any extraordinary knowledge."
Baiyu roughly described it to the City Lord.
The City Lord immediately responded: "From your description, it seems like a variant of the 'All-Knowing' sequence."
The world contains innumerable Extraordinary Abilities.
There are many Extraordinary Professions Magic Elixirs as well.
Every Extraordinary Profession, when fusing with different Extraordinary Powers, might birth new Extraordinary Professions.
This kind of mutation.
Could be beneficial or detrimental.
No one can predict.
Extraordinary Powers are intrinsically uncertain, and various mutations appear incredibly peculiar; anything might exist.
"All-Knowing?"
Baiyu was hearing this Magic Elixir name for the first time.
"Well, it's the sequence of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, somewhat similar to your Magic Elixir sequence, but supposedly a different kind.
Actually, knowing this much is already enough.
Judging from your situation, you should meet the criteria for learning Divine Technique, so we will officially begin learning Divine Technique.
First, you must take the first step.
Which means stepping towards Divinity.
This step typically has several methods, but the safest now is to pray for blessings from Divine Spirit or use special Magic Elixirs to generate a strand of divinity yourself."
The City Lord called Loloya to her side: "The Black Moon is already insane, hence the path of praying for blessings from Divine Spirit is essentially blocked, and you can only rely on special Magic Elixirs to spawn that trace of divinity—it's also the safest method I recommend."
She patted Loloya's shoulder: "Take Baiyu to the potion room and help him prepare the Divinity Magic Elixir."
Loloya nodded.
"Once finished, return to the library to find me. Loloya, you should be aware of the steps involved."
The City Lord returned to the sofa, continuing to peruse her previous unread books.
Baiyu then followed Loloya, making his way to the bottom of the Tower of Miracles, and entered a downward spiral stone stairway.
Though flanked with burning torches.
The lower part remained very dark.
And occasional gusts of cool wind, causing goosebumps to rise involuntarily.
"Below here is the potion room, usually guarded by a City Lord's Attendant, and entry requires prior notification."
Loloya explained to Baiyu their destination ahead.
Tap, tap, tap...
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the extremely silent setting; after walking about a hundred steps, the two finally reached a circular clearing.
On the wall before them, stood three massive iron doors.
Before the three doors.
An attendant was sprawled on the desk, seemingly asleep.
