Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: A Brand-New Meditation Formula

?

"Pah-it's finally complete," Qin Muye said, looking somewhat disheveled.

At this time, he wasn't in his territory, but rather in a remote corner of the Underworld, which he had transformed into a temporary laboratory. It's not that he didn't want to conduct experiments in his territory.

The main reason was that seven days ago, an experiment with the highly concentrated Crimson Element Core exploded. If he had not reacted in time, the entire Mage Tower would have been contaminated with the Crimson Element.

Then he realized one thing: such dangerous activities should be kept as far away from his own territory as possible.

He brought about a dozen Spirit Monsters, three of which were guarding the Bidirectional Teleportation Gate to communicate news of Demon Blood to Qin Muye, while the others naturally took responsibility for Qin Muye's safety and daily care.

Having fewer numbers also had its advantages: Qin Muye could immediately use the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel to teleport away, along with the experimental data. If there were too many, there would be some delay.

In seven days, Qin Muye made remarkable progress in his research on the Crimson Element, and he even devised a formula for the conversion of Magic Power.

Roughly, it's a special meditation method improved from the Element Meditation Method, which Qin Muye named the Crimson Meditation Method (test version).

Because this thing is truly just in testing, according to the data on paper and actual experiments, if one uses the Crimson Meditation Method to meditate on the Crimson Element, it will convert it into Crimson Magic, which is a type of new energy that is far superior in quality and applicability to Magic Power.

It was precisely this thing that made Qin Muye a bit hesitant. He didn't dare to use it outright, since it had only been tested on paper and in experiments and had not actually been put into operation.

There was a 10% chance that something could go wrong with the estimations.

More importantly, Qin Muye's goal was not the Crimson Element Core, but the origin of the Crimson itself, the Crimson Flame.

He might be cautious, but he wasn't foolish. If he were to take something, it had to be the best. There was risk involved, but it could not endanger him, so naturally, if there was something better, he would choose the better option.

His research on the Crimson Element Core was mainly focused on figuring out how to obtain the Crimson Flame.

To know the basic information of the Crimson Flame, it had to first be added to his inventory to make it his own; otherwise, there was no way to investigate what it truly was. During the Adaptation Period, direct investigation was indeed possible, but once that period ended, this rule was removed. Otherwise, Qin Muye wouldn't have to go to so much effort.

Desiring it yet fearing the danger, he had to come up with an ingenious containment strategy. Thus, the Crimson Meditation Method was the solution he developed. His idea was simple: use the formula from the meditation technique to build a container and, capitalizing on the external characteristics of the Crimson Element, create a power plant.

Basically, it's about boiling water. With this, the reforms within Qin Muye's territory became much easier. Energy was no longer an issue, and many other problems were not so troublesome.

In this way, not only was the energy problem solved, but the Red Wind Calamity would also cease to expand due to the disappearance of the Crimson Flame.

The annual Red Wind Calamity occurs because the Crimson Element causes massive decay and assimilation of the elements in the air, which is also caused by the Crimson Flame's forcible suction.

Therefore, as long as Qin Muye claimed the Crimson Flame, he wouldn't have to worry about the Red Wind Calamity in the short term. However, the existing Crimson Element and Crimson Element Core would not disappear and would take several thousand years of elemental erosion before vanishing.

Qin Muye estimated that this Crimson Flame was at least at the Divine Artifact Level. Putting aside the fact that it originated from the same source as the Divine Seed and Divine Grace, its power might even surpass these two, and it should not be underestimated.

The power of Divine Artifacts and Epics had been witnessed by Qin Muye, each one capable of altering the course of a domain or even key to its rise.

Who could ever have enough of such things?

Upon closer thought, under the influence of "Lord Era," there seemed to be an excess of these items. The top ten on the leaderboard each had at least 10+ Divine Artifacts, which would otherwise be unlikely to explain their rapid ascent.

However, it seemed quite normal when he considered that each of their domains had extraordinary names from the outset, so how could his modest Mage Tower possibly

compare?

Qin Muye even speculated that these lords' Professions were of Epic rather than the Ordinary Level like his own.

Speaking of Professions, a thought flashed across Qin Muye's mind. He remembered that his previous advancement task seemed to have added an extra Profession column, hadn't it?

Did that not make him consider taking on the Mage Profession?

But after some thought, he gave up on the idea. The Mage Profession wasn't very useful to him since he wasn't about fighting and killing. He preferred a Profession that could either save his life or enhance his learning and research.

An ability to save one's life could never be too abundant, and learning and research were critical for the development of his domain and ensuring his own safety.

Therefore, he immediately discounted the Mage. Furthermore, an Ordinary Profession would only do if it truly suited him; otherwise, a new Profession had to be at least of Rare Level. As for Epic? Better to wash up and go to sleep, luck isn't something you have every day.

Take the Dragon Blood event, for instance, where his force couldn't get a foothold and could only procure some Dragon Corpses.

In fact, Qin Muye would have liked to fill that empty Profession column with Scholar, but "Lord Era" wouldn't allow it. Otherwise, the combined effect of two scholarly Academic Research Professions would undoubtedly be powerful.

Among Ordinary Professions, he only truly fancied the Scholar's Talent, finding the others

unsuitable.

Suitability is the most important thing, not combat power. The strength of the Scholar Profession could easily be called the weakest, yet it didn't hinder its brilliance on Qin Muye, bringing a value comparable to an Epic Profession.

Without the Scholar Profession, Qin Muye couldn't have raised such a large team.

"Data collection is complete. We can seal off this laboratory. Don't leave behind anything that should be taken. If there's a high-risk experiment in the future, we can return and wreak havoc here," Qin Muye ordered.

Conducting experiments within the domain was relatively safe, but the domain's safety was compromised by limited facilities and protections. Take the recent Crimson research - if it had exploded, at least half the domain would have been destroyed.

So for now, it was necessary to bring a little havoc to the Underworld. If the Underworld were destroyed, it wouldn't matter to Qin Muye, who still had the Land of the Undead. Besides, the Underworld was vast; it could spare the small area Qin Muye might blow up.

Fortunately, it didn't explode, or else Qin Muye would need to find a new location for the next high-risk experiment. It wasn't ideal to keep exploiting the same place.

"Tsk, I can't help but feel I'm becoming more unscrupulous lately," Qin Muye realized that since he embarked on this path, he was increasingly engaged in self-serving schemes. "Moreover, is it just my imagination, or have I become increasingly insensitive to some external matters?"
