I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 125 124. The second transcendence

Lloyd took his pay slip, looked at it carefully, and counted the digits.

55 million.

As a newcomer who has just entered society for the second month, this income should be considered...

So-so, right?
It was actually a bit lower than he expected, and a huge amount of tax was deducted...

After receiving his salary, Lloyd immediately approached Wei Ya and asked her to help arrange the room for the [Transcendence] ceremony.

Then he ran to the club and prepared to purchase the most important material, the fountain of blood.

As soon as we entered the door, the club manager greeted us warmly.

"Oh~ Mr. Lloyd, you are here again. I wonder if you will..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking, this is my membership fee."

Lloyd couldn't help but took out a stack of coins, and then found that the manager was not very happy, but looked relieved.

"Huh~ I finally convinced you. If you don't agree again, I will wonder if my words and strategies are not suitable for today's young people? Should I learn something new?"

The manager quickly explained.

"You should study, but you should help me compile a list first. It's the thing I mentioned to you before. This should be one of my membership rights, right?"

"OK, just a second."

The manager quickly brought over several pages of the 'Members' Exclusive List', which recorded quotations about the 'Fountain of Blood', as well as past transaction prices, as well as an analysis of market trends.

As a popular material nowadays, the lowest price quoted for this special gemstone is over 10 yuan, and the highest price is more than 2000 million yuan...

The gap is ridiculously large...

The main factors that determine the price difference are the spiritual quality and size.

Spirituality will directly affect the effect of the transcendental ritual; the size determines the duration and fault tolerance of the ritual.

The piece with the highest price at present not only has excellent spirituality, but also has rare 'big' specifications on the market. The shape is round and full in color. It can not only be used for "transcendence", but also has extremely high value and room for appreciation when processed into jewelry.

But at this price, just look at it...

Lloyd went through the list and finally picked one with a price of 25.

The spirituality of this piece has been verified by a third party and is also of 'excellent' quality. Unfortunately, the size is a bit smaller and the effect is estimated to only last for two hours.

According to the experience imparted by the chief judge in his notes, what is more important is the quality of the gems, which will affect the effect of the entire ritual.

The better the effect, the higher the success rate, and the greater the improvement after completing [Transcendence], which will even affect the efficiency of subsequent practice.

But the duration is also important, because the second [Transcendence] process is much more complicated than the first, requiring enough patience, enough caution, and it is best to have extra time to provide fault tolerance.

And this gem can only last for two hours. This time is a bit too stressful for ordinary people. It is not easy to complete the process smoothly. There is no room for error at all, resulting in its excellent spiritual quality and cannot be sold. on price.

But for Lloyd, he didn't have so many worries. He was still confident in himself.

Choose this one, the price/performance ratio is the highest.

Moreover, this piece is consigned to the trading floor. As long as you pay, you can get the goods immediately without waiting.

So Lloyd gritted his teeth and called the manager.

A moment later, 25 yuan was missing from his account, and a gem the size of a ring appeared in his pocket, exuding a full spirituality that made people feel relaxed and happy, but also felt like a knife.

This thing is all red and crystal clear. When the light shines on it, the inside will show water-like lines, as if there is real blood flowing.

Really excellent quality material.

It's just that Lloyd didn't look too much, always feeling that what was flowing inside was the blood in his heart...

Just like that, everything is ready and waiting for tomorrow's arrival.

When Lloyd got off the subway, he shouted in his heart:
5 points [rationality], add it to me!

[Unanalyzed fragments: unknown fragments with unknown composition*1, current analysis progress is 10.5%]

[Unread book: "Book of Truth·Volume 7.8", current reading progress is 3%] In the past few days, he has upgraded to another level [-], and then accumulated some madness points, just in time to pass today's 'subway', and come back to the next level.

After completing [Transcendence], there will be a wave of attribute improvements, which is wonderful.

Lloyd squeezed several pairs of oil paper bags in his pocket, which also contained materials needed for the [Distortion] system.

But in fact, he is not sure whether the [Distortion] system can reach the first level this time. After all, according to the knowledge acquired before, promotion through the [Distortion Detachment Effect] often takes several times, and may even fail... …

As we all know, [detachment] becomes more difficult the further you go; and if you choose to get involved in multiple systems, the mental pressure on yourself will be extremely huge.

But even so, it's much better than following the orthodox procedures that cost lives.

All I can say is that this [distorted] system is really difficult to get used to...

So Lloyd gave himself a 'vaccination' in advance last night. If the [Distortion] system is not promoted this time, then he will try the [Embodiment] system.

That's all I can do, the rest can only be left to the panel.

You don’t want me to get involved in too many systems and add pressure and burden to you, right?
Lloyd looked at the panel in front of him and said in his mind.

I have worked hard, you should also learn to work hard, right?

Of course there will be no response from the panel.

Lloyd could only smile, let himself relax, and then walked out of the 'subway' entrance.

Wei Ya was still waiting for him outside as always.

As soon as the two met, Wei Ya was keenly aware of Lloyd's emotional changes and quickly spoke to comfort him:

"Don't be nervous. I believe you can succeed. After all, you are the first person I know who has performed [Transcendence] twice in two months. Your talent is as bright as a star."

Lloyd smiled and replied:
"Thank you, you shine as well."

"Eh? I don't dare to compare with you. My talent is actually very average. It only took you two months to catch up with me..."

As Wei Ya spoke, her face suddenly showed a bit of loneliness, and then she said in a low voice:
"Soon, I won't be able to walk side by side with you, right?"

"How could it be? If I don't see you here one morning, I will be very disappointed."

Lloyd answered seriously and then added:
"Weiya, your brilliance lies not in your talent, but in other places."

"Really? Thanks……"

Wei Ya lowered her head, with a slight smile on her lips, and added in her heart:
Lloyd, your brilliance is not just your talent...

The two of them just chatted and walked. Along the way, Wei Ya shared all her experiences about the second [Transcendence].

It can be felt that she really hopes that Lloyd can pass smoothly.

........................

Soon, Lloyd arrived at the luxurious suite on the 8th floor.

In addition to the classic three-piece set of incense, candles, and mirrors, there is also a slightly spiritual antique-style kettle, as well as a drawing board and a white canvas on it.

There is also a pair of oil paper bags in the corner, which contains some spiritual ink and other auxiliary materials that need to be used.

Lloyd turned back and locked the door, then took a deep breath, took out the oil paper bag he had prepared from his pocket, and began to prepare the ritual.

The second [Transcendence] of the [Veto] system requires the transcendent to [Veto] eliminate the 'errors' on the screen within the duration of the ritual.

To be specific, he put the 'spring of blood' into the antique kettle, used auxiliary materials to prepare a pot of special 'blood spring water', and then poured it on the blank canvas.

Under the influence of the ritual effect, some lines will appear on the canvas, forming a unique picture.

But there are several 'errors' hidden in it, requiring the extraordinary to [veto] them.

That’s it for the whole process.

As for what exactly that 'error' is, why it occurs, and how to detect it, there is no clear theory to explain these issues.

Even the presiding judge was vague in his notes, only imparting some experience.

The focus is on [inspiration] and [intuition], as well as relaxing the body and mind and getting rid of distracting thoughts.

Lloyd couldn't dig into it, so he could only follow it step by step.

He first lit the incense, spread the canvas on the floor, and then placed a mirror in front of himself.

Then he started to mix the spiritual ink and threw in the gems he bought for 25 yuan.

Then the 'brain-shaped crystal block' was added to it.

The antique kettle suddenly began to boil slightly, but no increase in temperature was felt, only a fishy smell emanated from it.

Maybe this is the smell of brain matter?
Lloyd took out the "nerve endings of high-risk monsters" again, shook them out as much as possible, and then spread them on the canvas.

Then, he opened the lid of the pot, poured the changed "blood spring water" on the canvas, let it blend with the nerve endings, and then quietly waited for it to flow and spread.

The [Transcendence] ceremony officially begins from this moment.

And Lloyd's [Twisted Ritual] was also activated at the same time.

If he can successfully complete [Transcendence] in this situation, and finally take a sip of the 'crazy old wine', he will be able to achieve the desired distortion effect.
